"Alright, I'll take them all. Miss, if you have any more in the future, please send them to us as well."
Seeing that he readily agreed after only a slight hesitation, Han Luoxue nodded in satisfaction. She liked people who acted decisively and efficiently.
"My surname is Fu. When you come again, just tell me you're looking for me."
Butler Fu said with a smile that soon someone brought over the grain, and he also gave Han Luoxue half a bag of brown sugar.
Han Luoxue readily accepted the housekeeper's overtures.
"Then I'll call you Uncle Fu. By the way, Uncle Fu, I have some very high-quality yellow millet and millet flour here, would you like to take a look?"
With the help of the green vegetables, Uncle Fu now looks at Han Luoxue with more caution.
"Alright, I'd like to see."
Han Luoxue took out one of each, unsure which one they wanted.
Upon smelling the rich aroma of millet, Uncle Fu's eyes widened again.
"This... young lady, the quality of your millet is really good."
He grabbed a handful of golden millet and spread it in his hand. The millet grains were larger than he usually saw, each one round, plump, and golden-orange. If you got close, you could smell a rich aroma of millet.
The millet flour that Han Luoxue took out was even more exquisite; the millet flour that they made at home, even after being sifted three times, was not as fine as this.
How was this girl processed?
Xiaomi itself is of good quality, not to mention Xiaomi noodles.
"Yes, we'll take as many girls as we want."
Fu Bo was afraid that Han Luoxue would go to someone else, so he hurriedly spoke up.
"A ratio of 1 part millet to 5 parts wheat flour, plus an extra pound of millet flour, do you think this ratio is acceptable?"
Although the exchange rate is a bit high, he has never seen such high-quality grain before. It's perfect to keep it for his picky young master.
He had a feeling that his young master would love to eat it.
Han Luoxue exchanged her gifts for a total of 110 jin of grain, the quality of which was about the same as what Han Qiang had given her.
That was enough. She also gave Grandpa Han Qiang 100 jin as payment for the house. Last time, Grandpa Han Qiang and his family had two jin of corn, and now that she had grain, she returned four jin to him. That way, she still had six jin left for her own family to eat.
Moreover, the corn in the space is almost ripe, and then it can be exchanged for a lot of ordinary grains.
What is famine? With her spatial ability, she has no worries about food and clothing.
This space is too incredible; she can't waste it.
With food so precious now, and other things worthless, she could easily exchange food for other items.
Ordinary people use food to save their lives, and she uses food to exchange for money. There's nothing wrong with that, right? Moreover, in times of famine, not having food to eat can be fatal, so what she did indirectly saved many people.
It was already dark, and Han Luoxue had disappeared. Her parents must be worried. She couldn't send a message home at this time; she had to hurry home.
When Uncle Fu heard that she was from Hutouya Village, he was very puzzled. That village was very poor, and he didn't know where this girl got so many good things from.
“Xiaoxue, it’s not safe for a young lady like you to go back alone. How about I have someone take you back? There’s a carriage at your residence; it’ll only take about half an hour to get back.”
Han Luoxue felt a little embarrassed, as she had troubled them again.
"Besides, it's not convenient for a young lady like you to carry such a heavy thing, is it? And it would be even more dangerous if there were wild animals on the mountain road."
Han Luoxue thought about it and realized it made sense. She could find a secluded spot along the way to store her things, but it would take more than two hours to walk back. Just thinking about walking on two legs gave her a headache.
"Thank you very much. Uncle Fu, please accept this little something for your child to enjoy."
It was just two days ago when Han Luoxue went to the mountains and saw a jujube tree that caught her eye.
Excitedly, I moved it into the space as well. Who would have thought that the small green dates hanging on it would ripen so quickly? They were densely packed, red, and sweet and sour—quite appetizing.
Han Luoxue felt that the jujubes were already ripe, just lacking water. They didn't look very appealing at the time, but after being kept in the water in her space, they turned a beautiful bright red.
Looking at the bright red, juicy jujubes, Uncle Fu was at a loss for words.
Is this the time to eat sour dates? But he'd already been shocked so many times today that he was pretty nonchalant. He accepted it blankly. He secretly resolved to cultivate a good relationship with this little girl; his young master's future meals would depend on her.
With the Liu family's carriage, the journey was much faster. The driver was young, around twenty years old. He kept muttering to himself the whole way.
"Miss, miss, there seem to be a few people ahead. Do you know them? Would you like a ride with them?"
Visibility outside was low. Lifting the carriage curtain, Han Luoxue indeed saw three familiar yet disheveled figures.
Isn't this Han Datou and her uncles? What a coincidence! Thinking of how they were beaten by Butcher Liu today, crying and running away in terror, Han Luoxue was in a great mood.
The servant was still waiting for Han Luoxue's reply. Seeing that she hadn't responded, he asked again, "Miss? They seem to be injured. The way they ran away seemed a bit strange to me."
This young servant was also from a poor family. Seeing how hard the group was struggling to run, he felt a pang of pity. Everyone has their difficulties in this world; he should lend a helping hand if he could. However, since he was escorting this young lady, Xiaoxue, back, he needed to ask for her consent first.
"Ignore them, let's go."
Han Luoxue came to her senses and said in a cold voice.
“But the girls are really injured. If you don’t want them to get into the carriage, you can let them squeeze in outside.”
Han Luoxue hadn't expected this young man to be so kind. She curled her lips indifferently and sneered, "Young man, do you know who they are? They are my grandfather and uncle. Do you know why I'm at the market today? They knocked me unconscious and brought me here, intending to sell me to Butcher Liu. You work in town, you should know what kind of person Butcher Liu is, right? He's already tortured several women to death, yet my own grandfather and uncle are so heartless as to send me into this hell. You might say that exchanging a girl for some food isn't wrong these days, but my family has long since separated; we live independently. Before my father was injured, he hunted and fed them a life of luxury. But after my father was injured and paralyzed, they started to despise us and kick us out. Why should I help such heartless people?"
Han Luoxue spoke calmly, but the servant lowered his head, flicked his whip, and the carriage sped past them.
"Hey, wait a minute, give us a ride, it's on the way."
When Han Datou and his two companions saw the carriage, they were overjoyed and hurriedly waved, but the carriage was already running very fast.
As they passed by in a flash, the carriage curtain was lifted, and they seemed to see a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
