"This is a list I made after carefully analyzing the sales reports from the people below. It clearly states what is needed and how much is needed, making it easy to understand. Take a look."

Zhuang Feifei took the paper and carefully examined the items and quantities listed on it.

"Twenty thousand catties of grain, ten thousand catties of fruit, fifty bolts of cotton cloth, fifty bolts of polyester fabric, two hundred catties of quail eggs, two hundred catties of salted duck eggs, two hundred catties of preserved eggs, one thousand catties of duck meat, one thousand catties of goose meat, five hundred catties of sweet potato vermicelli, five hundred catties of mung bean vermicelli, one hundred radios, five large boxes of dry batteries, twenty silk quilts, ten large iron pots, and fifty military overcoats."

She has all of these things in her online space.

She was very fortunate to have such a good space, and she had stockpiled a wide range of supplies before she traveled through time, making it much easier for her to do business than for the natives of this era.

Luo Jingyan said, "I don't know if you can get the other items. If you can't, I'll find someone else. These are all items that customers have pre-ordered at high prices, and I must find them for them."

Zhuang Feifei couldn't bear to see her business snatched away by others, so she said, "I can get all these things, you don't need to look for other companies."

"That's great, it saves me the trouble. Old Hei, Old Hei, you're really something else, all-powerful, you can get whatever you want."

Zhuang Feifei was unmoved by her praise; she only cared about money.

"Old Hei, there's a lot of stuff this time. When can you get everything together? You can decide the time and place for the transaction."

"There's a lot of stuff, but it's not too difficult for me. Let's set the transaction time in seven days, and the transaction location will be the same as before. We've done so many transactions together, and that place is more reliable."

"Okay, Old Black, then we'll see you in seven days."

"Um."

Luo Jingyan returned to the educated youth settlement from the county town, and it was almost lunchtime.

The workers on the construction site hadn't finished get off work yet. Apart from the few bricklayers who only received wages, she also had to cook for Xue Yanchen and Zhao Jun.

I took out two pounds of beef, a few potatoes, a carrot, and some seasonings from my space. I made a braised beef with potatoes, a stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, a seaweed and tofu soup, and heated up some steamed buns.

When he finished cooking, Xue Yanchen and Zhao Jun still hadn't returned. She was about to go to the construction site to call them back for dinner, so the two of them came back together.

Luo Jingyan prepared clean water for them and told them to wash up quickly.

The two of them had been working all morning and were quite tired, but when they sat down at the table and smelled the tempting aroma of the food, all their fatigue seemed to vanish in an instant.

Zhao Jun even thought to himself that if he could eat Luo Jingyan's cooking every day, he wouldn't have any complaints even if he kept making adobe bricks.

Luo Jingyan's stewed beef with potatoes was cooked to perfection. The beef was tender and the potatoes were exceptional, fresh, fragrant, and soft. As a result, the three of them chose to eat the potatoes first, leaving the beef, which was more valuable than the potatoes, in the pot.

Zhao Jun said, "Luckily, those bricklayers chose to take the money instead of the food. If they knew we had such good food every day, they would probably all choose to eat here."

Luo Jingyan said, "You get what you pay for. It's only because the two of you are eating here that they can enjoy such good food. After all, who wants to be ripped off? We've already paid them enough, and we don't owe them anything."

"That's true. We've done right by them. They got what they deserved, and that's enough."

Luo Jingyan nodded. Although she had a lot of supplies in her space, she was not a philanthropist and had no obligation to let those people take advantage of her for free.

She couldn't let others know the secret of her space. Besides, people are inherently greedy. If she let those people take advantage of her once, they might want to take advantage a second or a third time. A small favor is appreciated, but a large one breeds resentment. As long as she treated those people fairly, that was enough.

Furthermore, those people were not poor compared to others of the same era; they were just of average means and did not need her help at all. Therefore, she did not need to do anything that was out of step with this era. She had been here for more than half a year and had adapted to the place. She considered herself a person of this era, and her requirement for herself was to behave properly in front of outsiders and to act in a reasonable manner.

After all, caution is the best policy.

After eating, Xue Yanchen and Zhao Jun would rest for a while before going to the construction site.

Zhao Jun went back to the boys' dormitory and lay down. Xue Yanchen didn't have time to go back to the Qianjin Brigade, so he could only rest at Luo Jingyan's place.

But it was impossible for him to get on Luo Jingyan's kang (a heated brick bed). He needed to consider the other people in the educated youth settlement. If others found him lying on Luo Jingyan's kang, even if he was the only one lying there, people would probably gossip and spread rumors.

However, having just finished eating the meal his wife had prepared and being able to keep watching over her, he didn't feel tired at all, and he didn't need to lie down to rest.

Luo Jingyan was about to clear the dishes when he stood up and said, "I'll help you."

"You must be tired from working, take a break."

"Nothing is tiring when I'm with my wife, Jingyan. Don't you know that you can also relieve my fatigue?"

"Oh? To relieve fatigue?"

Luo Jingyan was a little scared. If he could stay with her without getting tired after marriage, wouldn't that exhaust her to death? The thought was terrifying.

Xue Yanchen had no idea that her mind was already filled with lewd thoughts.

"Yes, as long as I'm with you, even just looking at you makes me feel great and relaxed."

"And after we get married? You'll never feel tired being with me." She couldn't help but ask this question.

The man paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over her from head to toe, before smiling and saying, "As long as my wife doesn't feel tired, I'm perfectly fine."

Luo Jingyan fainted. Just as she had thought, this man was incredibly strong.

Two days later, the adobe bricks needed for building houses on Luo Jingyan's construction site were all made. These adobe bricks were laid out in order and left to dry on the spot. Since the adobe bricks were about ten centimeters thick, judging from the current temperature, it would take about a month to dry completely.

If a house is built using damp adobe bricks, the house will become damp, and the adobe bricks, being not sturdy, are prone to collapse.

The bricklayers have all gone home after finishing their work, resting for a few days in anticipation of spring planting.

The construction site was deserted all at once. Luo Jingyan would go over to check on it during the day, but she wouldn't stay there all the time.

Zhuang Feifei also used the excuse of looking at bricks and tiles to go there every day, just to show off to Luo Jingyan.

When she saw the rows of mud bricks that Luo Jingyan had finished building on the homestead, a smirk appeared on her lips, and a wicked idea suddenly popped into her head.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she used her personal space to quickly collect all of Luo Jingyan's un-dried adobe bricks into her space.

She thought that Luo Jingyan would be furious if she suddenly lost the adobe bricks to build her house.

She's just taking advantage of Luo Jingyan's lack of space, seeing who can do anything to her.

After stealing the adobe bricks, she happily returned to the educated youth settlement.
