The crayfish were easy to cook and were done in no time. They were set aside and Su Lu was asked to take them out. Then, four vegetarian dishes were made, and fried peanuts were given to Qin Aiguo and Qin Feng to eat with their drinks.

Qin Aiguo and Qin Feng arrived home at this time, and the family sat down at the dining table and quickly started eating.

This was Su Yun's second time eating spicy crayfish, and she had made even more than yesterday, but she still felt it wasn't enough.

Grandma Qin didn't eat much. Her stomach felt uncomfortable in the middle of the night after eating yesterday. It must have been too spicy, affecting her gastrointestinal motility, which caused the pain.

Qin Aiguo was doing well, his mouth was greasy from eating, and his hands were covered in red oil. Seeing this, Qin Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to get rags for everyone.

The two bowls of spicy crayfish were quickly finished, and the four vegetarian dishes were barely touched. Only Grandma Qin ate a lot.

After finishing their meal, Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu went back home. Qin's grandmother also packed up all the crayfish that Su Lu had caught during the day.

Back home, Qin Xiaoxiao soaked the crayfish, planning to cook them all that evening and put them in her space.

Su Lu packed his things, preparing to go to the provincial capital tomorrow. For a while, the couple were busy with their own things, and the house became much quieter.

When Qin Xiaoxiao finished her work, she saw Su Lu looking at her with a frown.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Xiaoxiao sat down next to Su Lu and gently leaned against him.

Su Lu pulled Qin Xiaoxiao into his arms. "I wanted to bring some things with me this time and sell some of them to make some money, but... I don't have much on me. I only have the wild game I hunted in the mountains last time. I want to keep those things for later and eat them slowly. I don't want to sell them for now."

Qin Xiaoxiao chimed in, "So, you don't have anything to sell."

Su Lu nodded. "Yes, I was too hasty. Let's talk about it later."

Qin Xiaoxiao smiled, got up from Su Lu, and looked at him.

"It's nothing, a piece of cake, leave it to me."

After saying that, Qin Xiaoxiao disappeared into Su Lu's arms.

Su Lu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

Luckily, he knew his wife could enter the spatial dimension; otherwise, her sudden disappearance would have scared anyone with a weak heart to death.

Once inside the space, Qin Xiaoxiao got busy.

First of all, she never thought of selling rice and flour, because she didn't harvest much. She had consumed some over the years, and she would need to use the food in her space for many more years to come.

When the market opens up, there will be no more coupons or limits on buying grain, but the prices will be very high. She can't get much money by selling it now, and she'll have to spend a lot of money to buy it later. It's not like she has money to burn.

Secondly, clothes and appliances can't be sold outside either. Clothes are too trendy, and appliances are too advanced. Taking them out would only cause trouble. For the sake of your life, it's better to stay put.

In her previous life, she wandered in the apocalypse and acquired two large shopping malls. She had many good things in her space, but there weren't many that she could actually sell. The only things she could consider were watches.

Watches don't take up much space, are easy to store, and can fetch a higher price. Moreover, the cost of living is high in the provincial capital, and people there aren't short of money. If the watch is good, it might be able to sell some more.

Qin Xiaoxiao thought for a while and searched through her space for more than an hour. In the last box, she found a watch sold in the mall.

Qin Xiaoxiao looked around for a long time, picked out some inconspicuous ones, then piled the rest back up. She then found a few more silk scarves in another corner of the space before leaving.

When Qin Xiaoxiao came out of the space, Su Lu was making dumplings in the kitchen. He was amused when he saw Qin Xiaoxiao come out, but he didn't stop making dumplings.

"What good stuff did you find?"

Qin Xiaoxiao held up the ten watches she had selected in front of Su Lu, "What do you think of the watches?"

Su Lu glanced at it and said, "It's possible, but with only one day, I'm afraid we won't be able to sell many."

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded and then wrapped the scarf around her neck. "What about this?"

Su Lu's eyes lit up, then he narrowed them again. "Well, I think this might sell even better than watches. If we manage it well, we might be able to get it into the county's supply and marketing cooperative through proper channels."

Qin Xiaoxiao understood immediately after Su Lu said that he wanted to establish connections in the provincial capital, sell the silk scarves to department stores first, and then transport them back to the county town to sell as part of the goods he had just brought in.

"You want to..."

After sharing her guess, Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Su Lu, waiting for his praise.

Unexpectedly, Su Lu shook his head, "That's not necessary. We can just find someone to tamper with the purchase order. It's just a matter of getting an official stamp from the provincial capital. That way, we can earn even more."

Qin Xiaoxiao thought she had thought it through perfectly, but after hearing Su Lu's words, she realized she was a fool. Her little bit of cleverness was no match for Su Luming.

Thankfully, this was her husband, and he didn't intend to sell her off; otherwise, even if he sold her, she would still be counting the money for him.

"Alright, it's up to you now. Do whatever you want with it."

He placed the hundred silk scarves he had sorted out on the kang (a heated brick bed), washed his hands, and helped Su Lu make dumplings.

The two of them made a total of five or six hundred dumplings, and Qin Xiaoxiao's back ached from standing for so long before they finally finished.

Thirty dumplings were left outside, and the rest were all stored in Qin Xiaoxiao's spatial storage.

"I won't be home for the next couple of days, so you can eat these dumplings. I'll make you more when I get back."

Qin Xiaoxiao had no objection and obediently nodded in agreement.

Because she was gone for two days, Qin Xiaoxiao was unusually clingy tonight, and Su Lu finally experienced what "wild style" meant.

Su Lu got up at three in the morning, glanced at his wife beside him, covered her with a blanket, then quietly got up, put on his coat, got out of bed and put on his shoes. He glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao one last time, kissed her on the forehead, and then reluctantly opened the door and left.

When Qin Xiaoxiao woke up, it was already past nine o'clock the next day. Feeling utterly hopeless, she sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) in a daze for half an hour before getting up to wash and prepare to go to work.

When Qin Xiaoxiao arrived at the field all dressed up, Aunt Liu and Aunt Song were both stunned.

Why are you only arriving now?

Qin Xiaoxiao yawned and sat down on a small stool, glancing at the two of them sleepily, "I overslept."

Aunt Liu and Aunt Song exchanged a glance and covered their mouths to chuckle.

The two looked at Qin Xiaoxiao teasingly, "Is it your Su Lu who's keeping you from sleeping? Or are you just too clingy? I heard your Su Lu is on a business trip today? To the provincial capital?"

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them in shock, "How did you know? I didn't tell you!"

Aunt Liu laughed heartily and said, "Yesterday afternoon when I went to work, your Su Lu came over to see us and asked us to keep a close eye on you these next few days. He went to the provincial capital and you're all alone at home. We're worried that something might happen to you and you'll be all alone."

They also told us not to tell anyone, in case someone overheard and caused us trouble, or had malicious intentions.

Aunt Song smiled and said, "I've lived to such an old age, and this is the first time someone has come to me for help with this matter. It's truly an eye-opener."

Qin Xiaoxiao lowered her head in embarrassment, cursing Su Lu inwardly for being so inconsiderate, causing her trouble even while going out. (End of Chapter)
