Yunxi glanced at her watch; it was still before ten o'clock, so she could still make a list in time.

"Okay, I'll give you the list later. Give me an address and keep the items for the transaction in a separate place so no one else knows. I'll come to you to complete the transaction in three days. I hope this is just between the two of us and that no third person knows about it."

"No problem, it's just a matter of supplies, it's not that difficult, I'll definitely get it done for you in three days."

Then he gave Yunxi an address. Of course, this address was not his home, but the place where the woman he used to keep outside lived. It was no longer allowed, so the place was empty.

After memorizing the address, Yunxi said goodbye to the shopkeeper. There were still two hours left before the market closed, and she couldn't waste time here without buying what she wanted.

She had just earned over 200 yuan from selling fish. Although she hadn't counted it carefully, all the money had passed through her hands, so she knew exactly how much she had received.

I went straight into the crowd. There weren't that many people at that time; most people had come early to buy what they wanted and then left.

Yunxi could be said to be buying as she went, buying whatever interested her. When her basket was full, she would find an opportunity to leave, hide in a secluded place, store the items in her spatial storage, and then continue buying.

I bought 50 jin of potato noodles and 50 jin of sweet potato noodles. I heard that both kinds of noodles are quite delicious. I've never tried them before, so I bought a little more. Plus, you don't need to knead the dough yourself. You just need to boil them in water and add some seasonings.

When you're busy, you can cook this and take a break.

I also saw some cotton quilts for sale. I thought that although the cotton quilts at home weren't very old, they had been used for several years. I could air them out and use them as mattresses. So I bought two 12-pound quilts and two 8-pound quilts.

I also saw the ceramics factory's stall. Not far behind, there was one of their trucks, and a lot of ceramics were laid out on the ground, including bowls, basins, spoons, jars, and large vats—they had everything.

They even come in various sizes and specifications, all stacked one on top of the other. If Yunxi hadn't felt there were too many people around, she would have wanted to buy hundreds of them.

Yunxi went to this one stall four times to buy everything before she finally put it all into her spatial storage.

After buying four times, I didn't go back to buy any more. I bought too much and it was too conspicuous. In addition to various jars with lids, there were also large water vats of various sizes. They were nested one inside the other, with small vats inside large vats and even smaller vats inside small vats.

He simply lifted it above his head with his bare hands, carrying the three or four hundred pounds of weight to a secluded place and storing it in his spatial storage.

It's not just a ceramics factory; there's even a factory that sells bricks and tiles. But here we only have a few bricks and tiles, just to show everyone what we have.

If you want to buy something, you pay here and get a receipt, and then it will be delivered directly to your door.

Yunxi only took a look and didn't plan to buy it. After all, she didn't plan to build a house. Her family's house was quite nice, and it was one of the few houses where the main house was made of brick and tile.

Compared to the houses of other people in the village, these are much better, so I have nothing to complain about.

Although fewer people are buying things at this time, there are also fewer people setting up stalls.

There were quite a few vendors selling all kinds of vegetables. Yunxi saw many vendors selling scallions, ginger, and garlic, which are seasonings. Although she grows a lot of them at home, they don't seem to be ripe yet. She doesn't know why, but other people's are already ready to sell.

It seems that growing vegetables is a skill. Some people grow them well and have enough to eat even before the harvest season. You shouldn't even think about it.

Those bundles of scallions and those sacks of ginger looked quite tempting.

Yunxi remembered that there seemed to be half a vat of soybean paste in the storage room next to the kitchen, but because the scallions at home weren't ready to eat yet, she had forgotten about the soybean paste.

Seeing this makes me want to buy some and try what it tastes like to dip scallions in soybean paste.

Why hesitate? Take action now. The price of scallions is only slightly higher than when they're in season. Right now, they're already three cents a pound even though they're not in season. Normally, when they're in season, you can buy a lot for just one cent a pound.

Yunxi thought it was quite cheap, so she bought three large bundles, each weighing about twenty or thirty pounds.

Of course, she couldn't possibly eat that much; she just liked to hoard things. She even bought three sacks of ginger.

I bought so many things, but only paid a few dozen yuan. Suddenly I feel like the things are so cheap?

I sell fish for 25 or 30 cents a pound, and I can exchange one pound of fish for more than ten pounds of vegetables. It's such a good deal.

After all, all fish are a business with no upfront costs; you can just go to the river to collect them when you need them, and once you've finished collecting them from the river, you can go to the main river to collect them.

Yunxi would buy something in one place and then quickly move to another, never buying anything from the stalls on either side of the original stall, so as not to draw too much attention.

So it's still a bit conspicuous, but she's already prepared. When she goes back, she'll just walk around the mountain. As for the clothes she's wearing, she doesn't plan to wear them for a while.

I bought a little here and a little there, and before I knew it, I had spent several hundred yuan. I had already spent all the money I had just earned from selling fish, and even lost money.

Yunxi felt she had bought enough and wasn't going to buy anything more, so she went to the side, took out paper and pen from her spatial storage, and began to plan what she wanted to trade with the shopkeeper.

10,000 jin each of rice and wheat flour, 5,000 jin each of cornmeal, millet, and sorghum, and 1,000 jin each of soybeans, red beans, mung beans, broad beans, peanuts, and sesame seeds.

I also need 2,000 jin each of peanut oil and soybean oil, 500 jin each of soy sauce and vinegar, and most importantly, salt, which I've always wanted.

There's no harm in stockpiling more salt, since there are so many places where it's needed. I might as well get 2,000 jin (1,000 catties). But then I think 2,000 jin might not be enough. I usually only buy about two jin (1 kg) at a time. So I might as well buy another 1,000 jin (500 kg) and go for 3,000 jin (1,500 catties).

She slowly calculated various things on the slip of paper. It's not that she lacked knowledge; it's just that the fairy had only been human for a short time, so even if there were good things, she was unaware of them.
