Shiyue confessed her thoughts to Uncle Shen, saying that she didn't care about the time and asked him to prioritize her safety.
Shen Yuanbai nodded with satisfaction.
Of course, he couldn't really make Shiyue wait indefinitely; he and Lü Wensheng had their own plans for this.
Uncle Lu Wensheng came home very late that day, and Shiyue didn't wait at home the whole time.
Knowing that it wasn't easy for her to return to Nanping, Uncle Shen wouldn't let her stay at home with him, and after saying that, he started to chase her away.
Let her go to the department store and buy some things for the people on the island.
Uncle Shen offered her more money, but Shiyue refused.
Shen Yuanbai knew that Shiyue had a salary and didn't usually have any expenses, so he didn't argue with her about it. He just told her to put the wooden box down and not to take it with her, and then sent her away.
Shiyue does indeed have places to go.
She first went to the small seafood market she had visited before.
The dried goods she bought for her through a delivery person last time are selling very well in the small shop.
That batch of goods earned Shiyue more than 10,000 yuan!
Although some of it was used to buy grain later, the total amount spent was less than two thousand yuan.
Shiyue's total assets are skyrocketing!
There's a lot of free time on the island, especially since there was a food shortage recently, which meant there were many things we couldn't do, so we had even more time to stay at home.
When she had free time, Shiyue bought a lot of books from the system to read.
Most of them are related to the clothing, food, housing, and transportation of people in later generations.
From this, she naturally learned about some trends in social development.
Although it's estimated that such a good day will be more than ten or twenty years away, Shiyue still felt that it wouldn't hurt to prepare early.
She couldn't make any other preparations, so she might as well take advantage of the current favorable environment to make more money.
Having had a previous experience, although the small street that served as a seafood market was still a bit gloomy, Shiyue was no longer as nervous as she had been at the beginning.
She even dared to look around.
It was only when looking at the moon that I realized that many people were hiding behind those half-closed courtyard gates and wooden windows with a crack in them.
While I was observing them, they were also quietly observing me.
Shiyue lifted a corner of the towel on the basket she was carrying, revealing the eggs inside.
This was a rule she already knew from her last visit: you need to show what you want to exchange before someone will come up to you and start a conversation.
Perhaps because Shiyue came alone this time, she seemed less dangerous. So, unlike last time, before Shiyue had even reached halfway down the street, several people had already been asking her about her purchasing intentions through the cracks in the doors and windows.
Living on Whale Island, we no longer need seafood like fish and shrimp.
What she wanted was good dried goods and rare seafood that is rarely caught on Whale Island.
For example, if I can exchange a few more of those big yellow croakers I bought last time, then this trip to Shiyue will have been worthwhile.
Unfortunately, the information provided by several companies did not meet Shiyue's expectations.
It was all shrimp and crabs, and some people even wanted to trade razor clams and clams for her, but Shiyue naturally wouldn't agree.
Shiyue walked along the street but couldn't find what she wanted.
Just when she was completely disappointed and thought she would probably go home empty-handed, she arrived at the door of the boy she had met before.
Unfortunately, the door to that room was closed this time, and no one greeted her from inside.
Shiyue had no choice but to give up and prepared to leave with her basket.
Just then, a voice came from behind her and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Shiyue recognized the voice immediately, and her expression changed from disappointment to surprise.
She quickly turned around, and sure enough, the boy wearing a straw hat behind her also showed a happy expression the moment he saw her.
The boy opened his mouth as if to say something, but quickly closed it again.
The boy gestured for Shiyue to wait a moment, then quickly opened the door.
Only after the door was closed again did the boy happily say, "Sister, it's you! What do you want this time?"
Shiyue smiled and said, "I'd like to see if you have any prepared dried goods. Abalone, fish maw, good cuttlefish, or anything else is fine. It has to be good quality and clean."
The boy immediately said, "Can it be the same as last time? This time there's top-quality conch meat and big dried scallops."
Shiyue then realized that the errand she had run last time was actually something she bought from the child's house.
The goods were good and made Shiyue a lot of money, so she immediately agreed and asked to see the items.
Then the boy told her that those things didn't belong to her family; they were dried by his uncle's family.
His uncle's family lived in a fishing village not far from Nanping, and the things he bought last time were purchased from the village with his uncle's help.
If Shiyue wants it, he can go and have his uncle deliver it.
After saying that, the boy sincerely said to Shiyue, "Sister, thank you for taking our things."
It was because of the things you bought last time that I had the money to send Mom to the hospital and then I had the money to buy her medicine.
So don't worry, I will definitely find you the best stuff, I guarantee it's the highest quality.
When Shiyue returned home, she did hear a woman coughing in the house, but now there was clearly no one else in the house.
She then learned that the boy's mother had been hospitalized.
She immediately left all twenty eggs and a bag of millet that she had brought with the child, telling him it was a deposit.
Tell him to bring the things back tomorrow, and I'll come over again then.
If the price is right, she plans to buy more this time.
I won't go into how excited the boy was to run to his uncle's house to prepare the goods, but Shiyue was also very happy to have found such a stable source of goods.
She plans to take a good look tomorrow, and if the products are indeed good and the prices are reasonable, she can regularly source her goods from here in the future.
After all, it's much cheaper to use a delivery service to pick up goods than to use one to buy them.
After leaving the seafood market, Shiyue went to the department store, mainly to buy some fabric so she could make some changes of clothes when she got back.
In addition, she replenished some daily necessities for her family and bought various snacks and desserts that the children on the island could not usually eat.
Shiyue didn't feel like she bought that much, but even so, after going around in circles, she was carrying big and small bags, and she was about to be unable to carry them anymore.
It can be said that this trip was quite fruitful.
After buying everything, Shiyue found a pedicab that could also transport people and deliver goods to help her take the items back to the guesthouse.
To her surprise, when she returned, the two uncles had already been waiting for her at the guesthouse for half a day.
