Transmigrated into a slave? I raised a frontier war god while pioneering new lands.

A middle-aged man was called out shortly afterward, "Are you two the ones selling Ganoderma lucidum?"

Shen Zhi calmly responded and then took out the Ganoderma lucidum. The shopkeeper took the Ganoderma lucidum from Shen Zhi's hand, examined it repeatedly, and then exclaimed, "Wow! It's of excellent quality! Such a beautiful Ganoderma lucidum is truly rare here."

"How about I offer seven taels?"

Shen Zhi: "Ten taels."

The shopkeeper paused, then shook his head. "Ten taels won't do. Although your Ganoderma lucidum looks good, it's not big enough. I can only offer eight taels at most."

Shen Zhi: "Okay."

The shopkeeper's...

Aren't you going to try to bargain with me anymore?

Seeing Shen Zhi agree so readily, the shopkeeper glanced at Shen Zhi's face, wanting to try and lower the price further, but then he saw the frightening scar and finally agreed, "Alright, alright! Eight taels it is. I'm just trying to get you two to be regular customers since it's your first time here. In the future, if I have anything good, you'll have to think of our shop first."

Shen Zhi nodded slightly, "Definitely."

When the shopkeeper weighed the silver and handed it over, Shen Zhi turned to the side, revealing Xu Qinghe standing to the side, and said, "Give it to her."

The shopkeeper glanced at Xu Qinghe beside him and immediately smiled knowingly, "I understand, I understand, the wife is in charge."

Xu Qinghe...

Shopkeeper, if you're going to pay, can you please stop with all the talk?

The two carefully put away the silver given to them by the shopkeeper and then went out together.

As soon as they stepped outside, Shen Zhi turned to Xu Qinghe and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I want to go to the grain store, the clothing store, and the general store. Which do you think I should go to first?"

Shen Zhi was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's go to the general store first." He then led Xu Qinghe towards the general store.

Once inside the general store, Xu Qinghe began selecting the items she wanted. A bronze mirror and a comb were essential. Although she already had pots and pans at home, they were all broken, so she needed to buy a set of each. After buying these items, the two of them were almost overflowing with items.

Xu Qinghe hesitated, "Should we buy the rest?"

While organizing his things, Shen Zhi took the things from Xu Qinghe's hands and said, "Buy the important things first, I'll take the rest back this afternoon."

Xu Qinghe looked at her empty hands and instinctively reached out to help, but Shen Zhi stopped her, saying, "I can hold it."

Thus, Xu Qinghe, the maid, walked quickly towards the Cloth Shop with her hands empty and her master Shen Zhi, whose hands were full.

As soon as Xu Qinghe entered Buyifang, her eyes were dazzled. This Buyifang was completely different from what she had imagined.

It's not just a monotonous solid color, but a variety of patterns and colors, making it as beautiful as walking into a fabric museum.

Fortunately, her rationality gave her the upper hand, and she didn't open her mouth wide like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden.

Soon a waiter came over, first sized up her clothes, and then began to serve her.

"Young lady, what would you like to order?"

Xu Qinghe pointed to a simple silk skirt and asked, "How much does this dress cost?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Nine hundred coins."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Qinghe gasped, thinking, "This is too expensive! Nine hundred coins can buy two baskets of chanterelle mushrooms."

Just as Xu Qinghe was secretly complaining, the waiter seemed to have seen through her thoughts and continued to introduce the fabric with a smile, "How about you take a look at this fabric?"

"Our fabric is also very affordable. Since you look so kind, I won't hide it from you. Our labor costs are high. If you buy the fabric yourself and make your own clothes, you can make about two outfits."

Xu Qinghe touched the fabric the shopkeeper was introducing while hesitating. Buying the fabric and making it herself would indeed be cheaper, but she didn't know how!

Just as Xu Qinghe was struggling with her decision, she suddenly remembered that the original owner of this body was good at needlework! The original owner was quite skilled at it, so she could just follow the original owner's memories and do it herself.

With this thought, Xu Qinghe immediately perked up and, without thinking, bought three taels of silver worth of cloth and one tael of silver worth of cotton, and also asked the waiter to give her a bag of scraps of cloth.

Looking at the table piled high with fabric, Xu Qinghe was completely stumped, because even if he and Shen Zhi had three heads and six arms, they couldn't carry so many things.

The waiter clearly noticed her predicament, and with a quick glance, he asked her, "Would you like to rent a donkey cart? I have a donkey that's free. If you want to use it, I can ask my brother to send it to you, but the rental fee will be twenty coins."

Upon hearing that it was only twenty coins, Xu Qinghe immediately agreed without hesitation. It wasn't until the waiter ran off to find someone that Xu Qinghe realized that the ancients were not as stupid as she had imagined. They were all very clever, knowing how to read people's faces, how to greet customers with a smile, and how not to miss any opportunity to make money.

In this society, her personality doesn't seem to offer any advantages other than finding alternative paths.

Just as Xu Qinghe was marveling at the wisdom of the ancients, Xiao Er returned with his younger brother. The two helped Shen Zhi load the things onto the donkey cart, and then Xiao Er told his brother to see them off.

Before returning, Xu Qinghe had her younger brother take them to the grain store to buy essential rice, flour, and cooking oil. The eight taels of silver she had on hand were instantly reduced to one tael and six hundred coins.

Xu Qinghe didn't hold back on the 600 coins; she bought ten large steamed buns and two boxes of pastries and went home, instantly leaving her with 1 tael and 480 coins.

Xu Qinghe touched her now-flattened wallet and then obediently stopped spending money recklessly.

With the help of the donkey cart, the journey back was not as long as the journey there, and they quickly arrived at the gate after a bumpy ride.

Xu Qinghe had just jumped out of the car and was about to knock on the door when Shen Chengyue's joyful voice came from inside, "Aunt Qinghe, is that you?"

Xu Qinghe smiled gently and replied loudly, "It's me."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard the rustling sound of the door opening. As soon as the door opened, the two little cannonballs rushed towards her, one on each side, grabbing her legs.

Seeing that they were about to block the way, Xu Qinghe quickly picked them up and moved them aside with difficulty, making way for Shen Zhi, who was carrying things.

The younger brother of the donkey cart was standing next to it, holding the reins to prevent the donkey from running away.

Xu Qinghe glanced at the things on the donkey cart and thought that Shen Zhi was a bit slow carrying them all by himself, so she told the two children to wait outside while she went to help.

The two of them made four or five trips before they finally managed to get everything from the donkey cart into the main room.

Looking at the fully packed main room, Shen Zhi couldn't help but tell Xu Qinghe, "There's no time left, I have to leave soon. You can pack up these things, and if you can't, I'll take care of them when I get back."

Xu Qinghe quickly nodded and turned to get some steamed buns for Shen Zhi, saying, "Take these five buns with you on the way."

Shen Zhi glanced at the steamed bun in Xu Qinghe's hand and was about to refuse, "No need, the hospital has rice."
