The Food Alley has become much quieter and the prices of food have increased more than tenfold, but it doesn’t matter because Mr. Gu is rich.

We bought all the pork elbows, roast goose, roast duck, and roast chicken, and sold out all the braised food shops, pastry shops, and noodle shops.

She bought everything that could be taken away from the entire specialty snack alley.

After paying the money, ask them to pack it up as soon as possible and send it to the gatehouse of Duan's house. If no one is there, just leave it there.

The shop owners were all grinning from ear to ear, having made a fortune today and being able to finish work early.

Gu Xinran was also very satisfied. Although it cost more than a thousand taels, it provided an extra layer of protection on her journey to escape famine.

When I returned to Duan's house, I first went to the storeroom, where there was a lot of fine cotton cloth, cotton, quilts, new clothes and shoes for the servants and maids, rabbit fur and other unknown leathers;

Thousands of catties of white flour, refined rice, and grains, two hundred catties of salt, five large barrels of oil, two large jars of liquor, fifty catties each of brown and white sugar, and various seasonings;

There are a lot of dried vegetables, dried mushrooms, dried fungus, etc.; a lot of new hoes, shovels, oilcloths and other daily tools; a lot of half-finished furniture that have been replaced are all put into the space.

Gu Xinran muttered softly, if she had known there were so many things, her brother wouldn't have to go to the grocery store.

But since her elder brother didn't go to the grocery store, she couldn't stock up on delicious food openly.

Haha, the more things the better.

Gu Xinran found that compared to the things in Gu’s house, even the rags were newer here.

Wherever he went, he left everything clean, including beds, cabinets, quilts, tables, chairs... pots and pans, clay stoves, charcoal... even old clothes were not spared. They could be given away or used to make shoe soles. They were all good things, so he collected them all.

When she finished cleaning, the Duan residence was empty, and all the nice flowers, plants and fruit trees in the yard had been moved into the space.

Gu Xinran was very happy. She dug up two peach trees, two jujube trees, a pear tree and an apple tree. If they were taken good care of, she would soon be able to enjoy fruit freedom.

The most exciting thing was that she found five big swords and three bows and arrows in a training room, which were much more powerful than what she had.

This should be something Duan Yunchi specially left for them. Brother Gu must be very happy to see it. She was smiling so hard that her mouth was stretched to her ears.

I picked up the knife and tried dancing for a while, and it was very handy.

After several months of training and learning, as well as the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, I have reaped great rewards. Climbing over walls and onto roofs is now a piece of cake for me. Ten or eight ordinary people can handle it.

After cleaning up Duan's house, I came to the gatehouse. Wow, there were baskets full of delicious food. There was no place to put my feet, so I put them all into the space.

After finishing the work, I went to the backyard and saw the two mules were very strong.

The two carriages look very simple in appearance, but one of them has a different interior with various secret compartments and a small, removable and foldable seat table. The entire carriage can also be extended, widened and lengthened, and there is space for a stove in the middle.

No wonder Brother Gu did some research on it.

Get on the mule cart and put suitable items such as knives, bows and arrows, teacups, tea leaves, snacks, etc. in the secret compartment.

They put out 50 kilograms of white flour and refined rice, 20 kilograms of salt and sugar, a large barrel of oil, 50 kilograms of wild boar meat, two large pieces of oilcloth, some cloth and cotton, a pile of furs, two large baskets filled with candies, cakes, candied fruits, roast goose and other food. They also specially took out two small clay stoves, two bags of black charcoal, and two clay pots, filling up the mule cart.

Don't leave the other mule cart empty either. Load it with fodder. It's not easy to take care of three animals in the winter.

Gu Xinran fed the two mules well and poured two bowls of diluted spiritual spring water for them to drink.

"Come, I'll give you some extra food. Work hard! We'll be relying on you from now on."

The mules licked happily with their tongues, wagging their tails, and were unwilling to waste the few drops that splashed on the ground, licking them over and over again.

After licking, he rubbed Gu Xinran gently with his mule head. Was this a way to express gratitude?

After everything was ready, Gu Xinran sat on the mule cart, burning the clay stove to keep warm, making some brown sugar ginger tea to ward off the cold, and gnawing on a big chicken leg, feeling so comfortable.

Brother Gu came back after a while and smiled when he saw his sister enjoying herself so much.

"Brother, come and have a sip to warm yourself up." Gu Xinran picked up a cup of ginger tea and handed it to Gu Yuchen.

Brother Gu took the tea, sat next to Gu Xinran and drank it slowly. After a few sips, his whole body felt warm.

"Ranran, you really know how to enjoy life. This car is really nice. When we are on the road, grandparents and siblings won't be afraid of the cold."

Gu Xinran is very fortunate to have met noble people like Xiao Mingzhan and Duan Yunchi. With the help of each other, her family can have the good life today.

"Well, Brother Yunchi has been a great help. You must be hungry. It's past dinner time. Have some roasted chicken first. It's delicious." Gu Xinran took half a chicken and gave it to Brother Gu.

"It's delicious. I'll just have one chicken wing and take the rest home."

Gu Xinran felt sorry for her sensible elder brother and pointed to two large baskets of food and said to him, "Also, eat as much as you want."

"Thank you, Ranran. Those herbs are really valuable. I sold three bags of herbs for a total of 150 taels. I spent 40 taels on the herbs. Everything has gone up in price. Salt and sugar are now limited to 3 jin, 100 wen per jin. The oilcloth hasn't gone up in price, though. I bought ten pieces. This is the money I got back. Keep it safe."

Brother Gu took out a bag of silver and the original silver note and gave them to Gu Xinran.

Gu Xin took the silver and confiscated the banknote, "Brother, keep this banknote for future use."

Gu Yuchen waved his hand, "No need, I haven't touched what you gave me before."

"Okay, come to me when you need it." Gu Xinran put the silver and money into the backpack (space).

Brother Gu quickly finished half a chicken and the two meat buns that Gu Xinran gave him.

"I'm full. Let's go back quickly. I don't know what the village is going to do."

Gu Xinran packed up the remaining ginger and brown sugar water and put away the clay pot.

"Brother, you drive the two mule carts, and I'll drive the ox cart."
