Wearing a formal dress, Yun Shudai couldn't really go out to buy things, so she ordered a bowl of beef noodles, a bowl of spicy crayfish, and some lamb skewers on the platform.

After getting home and taking a shower, the takeout arrived, and Yun Shudai quickly entered her spatial dimension.

Finding He Wan absent, and checking the time—it was already quite late—he figured she wouldn't be able to come out. He put his things down and left the space.

Because there were still orders to be made, Yun Shudai, holding her tablet, and her client revised the composition five times before finally achieving her satisfaction. The small order was submitted eight days later.

The moment she saw the money arrive in her account, she was as happy as a child. This was the beginning of another career for her, a good omen.

The next day, as soon as I woke up, I found He Wan eating beef noodles in the kitchen.

"What's going on? He hasn't come back these past few days."

"I've been spending the last few days with my parents, enjoying their warmth. Yesterday, I even went with my boss to audition for a role as the fourth female lead. All my luck was used up at the audition; my car broke down as soon as we left."

"Sure, the announcement means we have a chance."

"Well... I met that handsome guy I told you about the other day. His name is Bai Muyin."

"You've only been a few days and you already know each other's names. You two have quite a connection."

"Isn't it a coincidence? Our two families used to be neighbors. The Bai family is a powerful merchant family."

"Sure, would you consider him a hidden big shot in the book?"

Yun Shudai thought for a moment and nodded: "I guess so. Lao He, how are you? Have you been tired lately?"

"It's alright. I've been planting vegetables in the wasteland these past few days. Once the corn seedlings grow, I'll be busy again. The other day when you brought me supplies, I was picking wild vegetables on the mountain with some other educated youths, and we also got a lot of mushrooms."

They're all wild; I saved quite a few for you.

“I can’t cook, and neither can my parents. Oh, my sister can cook, I’ll bring some to her tomorrow.” Yun Shudai said, glancing at the empty space, “Are they all sold out? I’ll get you some more today.”

“The afternoon you delivered it to me, I went to the county. I secretly went to the county twice in three or four days and sold out, earning three or four hundred yuan. I also bought five bottles of Moutai and a 1971 stamp through the salesperson, earning several hundred yuan. I also rented a house.”

“You were supposed to work every day at the educated youth settlement, so why did you sneak off to the county?”

“I recently discovered a hidden road from the mountain to the county town that leads there. These past few days, instead of working, I’ve been using the excuse of picking wild vegetables in the mountains to run around the county. It’s just so tiring; it takes me more than an hour to walk there.”

“An hour or so isn’t far. Some of the books I’ve read from that era can take four or five hours to walk. But I’ve already asked my sister to inquire about items from that era. I’m going to get you a bicycle.”

"A bicycle is optional. I always go there secretly now, and the mountain roads aren't suitable for riding a bicycle."

"You can sell the bicycle."

"That's true. Selling to individual investors won't work; the risk is too high. I need to find someone on the black market to sell them in bulk."

As He Wan spoke, she took out the five bottles of wine from her spatial storage and said, "This wine would be highly sought after in later generations, but here, as long as you have wine coupons, you can buy it. I recently exchanged a few wine coupons, and I also found a bottle of surplus stock from the supply and marketing cooperative. There are two bottles from 1968 and one bottle from 1969. The older the vintage, the more expensive the wine. Can you help me sell the two bottles from 1968 and 1969? Use the money to buy supplies for me. I want to make a fortune here. I feel bad for using your money these days."
