Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

Chapter 6 Packing and buying old clothes

While Shen Zhao was thinking, he added firewood to the stove, then got up to help his mother knead the dough and prepare steamed cakes.

Staring at the noodles without bran removed in my hand, I recalled the exquisite pastry cakes in the food shop in Jingyi.

How about making paste cakes and selling them?
No no no!

This place is the northwestern Dunhuang County. It is vast, sparsely populated and poor, and even slightly expensive food cannot be sold.

Even if a few people are willing to buy, it would be a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, grain in Dunhuang was cheap. At its most expensive, it was no more than 100 coins per stone, and at its cheapest, it was only 50 or 60 coins per stone.

So all food is worthless, including pigs, sheep and cattle.

If you want to make more than 10,000 yuan in one or two months by selling food, it is simply a fantasy.

This road is definitely not feasible.

Shen Zhao pressed the kneaded dough into pancakes and placed them in the steamer one by one.

It looks good in yellow, but it’s actually not very tasty.

If the bran is removed, it might be delicious.

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly remembered the scene he saw in the small bronze mirror in his previous life.

The people in the mirror have better food and clothing than here. Their clothes are exquisite and gorgeous, but they are changed frequently.

Those unworn clothes would be thrown away even if they had no patches, or packaged and sold to vendors for only a few dozen dollars for a large package.

If I buy those old clothes and resell them, wouldn't it be a huge profit?
You know, supplies are scarce here, and cloth and clothing are more expensive than cattle and sheep.

I remember that my mother spent more than three hundred yuan to buy a piece of coarse cloth to make a padded jacket for my father, which was equivalent to the price of two adult sheep.

The more Shen Zhao thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him. After all, he had obtained food and medicine from that world from the bronze mirror in his previous life.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhao immediately put down the dough in his hand and said to his mother: "Mother, I'm going back to the house to rest for a while."

"What's wrong? Is your head hurting again?" Zhang Shanyue suddenly became nervous and stretched out his flour-covered hand to touch his daughter's forehead to test it.

Shen Zhao hummed guiltily: "It doesn't hurt too much, I'll just lie down for a while."

"Then go and lie down quickly. Mom is here, so you don't need to help." Zhang Shanyue hurriedly pushed her daughter to rest.

Shen Zhao trotted back to his residence, a small room.

When I was a child, I lived in this wing with my second brother. The wing was divided into two small rooms by millet stalks. My second brother lived in one side and I lived in the other.

Later, as I grew older and no longer needed anyone to take care of me, my second brother was seven years old, so I moved in with my eldest brother, and this place became my own residence.

After closing the door, Shen Zhao took out a small bronze mirror from his arms and gently stroked the little frog.

The image emitted a strange vision as before, slowly blooming in the void.

The little frog also jumped onto Shen Zhao's hand and rubbed it affectionately.

Shen Zhao touched its head and turned the mirror over.
The mirror that could originally reflect people suddenly showed many images. A frog with a big head occupied half of the screen. It grinned at Shen Zhao and started to speak:
【Welcome to visit us again, is there anything you need? Just tell me, I will tell you everything I know, but please don’t make rude requests, after all, we are not a charity.】

Shen Zhao was already used to Xiao Qing's chattering, so he asked softly, "I want a pack of old winter clothes for adults, can you help me?"

The frog, who was originally grinning, suddenly introduced seriously:
[Xiaoqing is of course willing to help, but you have to pay a certain fee. A bag of old clothes weighing ten kilograms is twenty yuan, twenty kilograms is forty yuan, and fifty kilograms is one hundred yuan. You can pay directly for whichever you want, or put it in the shopping cart and wait for payment.]

After a pause, he continued: [In view of your previous reputation, Xiaoqing would like to remind you that this product cannot be tried for free, nor does it provide a use-before-payment program.]

Shen Zhao's eyelids twitched, and he took out twenty copper coins from under the mat and handed them to the mirror: "This is all the money I have, can I buy a bag?" Xiaoqing blinked her big round eyes, looked at the copper coins in her hand carefully, and said:
[Yes, dear, but it can only be exchanged into trading currency at a one-to-one ratio. Do you want to exchange it now? ]

Shen Zhao nodded, and then he saw the twenty copper coins in his hand disappeared in an instant.

[The exchange has been successful. You can now purchase items within 20 yuan. 】

[Xiaoqing's friendly reminder, please set the latest delivery address before purchasing, otherwise the system will automatically send the product to the original address. 】

Shen Zhao's heart skipped a beat and he knew what the original address Xiaoqing was talking about was.

It should be the dark prison where I was in my previous life.

She quickly said, "Xiaoqing, please cancel my original address. I am no longer there and need to change to a new address."

[OK, Xiaoqing has already called up your address setting page, please set it yourself. ]

After saying that, a screen page floated in front of Shen Zhao.

Shen Zhao checked it carefully and found the address he had set in his previous life: Room Bing for Female Prisoners in the Jingyi Tingwei Prison.

When she saw this horrible name again, she couldn't help but shiver all over.

Reaching out to erase a line of words, Shen Zhao closed his eyes and wrote with his fingers stroke by stroke:
Go to Shen Zhaoshou in the west wing of Shen Ang’s house in Yanzeli, Xiaogu County, Dunhuang County, and click Done.

[The new address has been set successfully. You can shop with confidence. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask Xiaoqing. ]

After saying that, the empty screen dissipated, and Xiaoqing in the mirror calmed down and shrank to the corner of the mirror.

Shen Zhao typed the word "old clothes" on the magnifying glass icon very familiarly, and then many kinds of old clothes for sale appeared in the mirror.

I slid the mirror and searched for a long time before I found a package of the cheapest old winter clothes. Just as Xiaoqing said, it was twenty yuan a package.

Winter is approaching, and these winter clothes are easier to sell than single clothes, and the price is not low, so Shen Zhao decided to buy them.

After clicking on the purchase and payment button, Xiaoqing appears at the right time:

[Congratulations on making your first transaction. The system will award transaction points based on the number of transactions and the amount.

When you accumulate a certain number of transaction points, the system will provide a redemption window where you can use the transaction points to redeem your favorite products.

[Friendly reminder: All products in Xiaoqing Shopping Mall have been strictly disinfected. Any products you buy will not carry microorganisms or transmit viruses. Please feel free to use them. ]

[Congratulations, you can get 2 transaction points for this shopping! ]

【Please wait, your goods will be delivered soon! 】

Shen Zhao took a deep breath, looked out the window, took a few steps back and waited for the goods to arrive.

Suddenly, an illusory shadow appeared on the dirt ground of the wing room. It was just an outline at first, then became more and more solid, and finally a large bulging package gradually emerged.

Shen Zhao resisted the urge to scream, calmed his excitement, and stepped forward to grab the bag.

It was a huge bundle, sewn so tightly that it could not be opened with fingers alone.

So Shen Zhao took a pair of scissors from the sewing basket and slowly picked out the thread ends.

When I opened the bundle, I found several thick winter clothes and a pair of pants inside. Although the style was a bit strange, the fabric was soft and absolutely comfortable to wear.

Shen Zhao couldn't help but smile and opened a blue shirt to take a look.

The blue color was exceptionally bright, without any damage or fading. It was even newer than the new cloth my mother had bought.
