"Let's round it up to two hundred! Is that okay? I'll come back to you next time I have business." Su Li actually thought the price was acceptable, after all, she had indeed selected quite a few items, but she only had a few hundred yuan on hand, so she wanted to save as much as possible.
“Miss Shi is a straightforward person. In that case, I’ll accept a small discount. I look forward to our next collaboration.”
Su Li gave the money to Lu Shan and gently placed the antiques and goldfish into the basket on her back.
After tidying up, Su Li looked at Lu Shan and asked, "Are you going to buy the persimmons?"
"Persimmons don't keep well and rot too easily, so there aren't many buyers. I don't plan to buy them for the time being."
"What if we made persimmon cakes?"
Lu Shan wasn't really interested in persimmons; he wouldn't make much money from them.
However, he was still willing to give Su Li some face, and said with a smile, "I don't plan to accept it from others, but if it's Miss Shi, I can accept some."
Su Li could tell that he didn't want to buy them, thinking that persimmons weren't very profitable anyway.
So he waved his hand and said, "Never mind, I was just saying it offhand. I'll come find you again next time I have something good."
"Then I'll wait for Miss Shi."
She put the items into her spatial storage after they left.
The moment the item entered the space, Su Li felt a wave of dizziness and thought to herself, "The space must have been upgraded."
She found a secluded spot and entered the space. Once inside, it was much larger, about 500 square meters.
The spring water is no longer dripping, but flowing in a continuous stream, like a single springhead.
She looked around again and saw that the fruit trees she had planted earlier had grown tall.
The first trees I planted, orange and apple trees, bore a lot of fruit, each one plump, juicy, and looked delicious.
This is too fast! She thought these fruit trees wouldn't be fully grown until next year.
I never imagined that a simple upgrade could make the fruit trees grow so miraculously.
She glanced at the things she had put in again; they were gone.
It seems that antiques can indeed be upgraded.
She cut a bunch of vegetables, without pulling them up by the roots, and placed the cut vegetables directly in the space.
I'm thinking of harvesting these vegetables as soon as they grow, so I can earn more money selling them on the black market. I can also buy more antiques to upgrade my space.
Su Li watered the fruit directly with the spiritual spring water, without diluting it this time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the water was applied, the apples on the tree grew and ripened on the spot.
The same goes for the oranges; Su Li could hardly believe her eyes.
This spring water is incredible!
She then watered all the other fruits planted in the second batch with the spiritual spring water.
This was even more exaggerated; the fruit trees not only grew taller, but also began to be covered with fruit very quickly.
Mangoes, durians, peaches... she was truly excited to see so many fruit trees laden with fruit.
She achieved fruit freedom, and just as she was about to pick a bright red peach to try, her head started throbbing.
It seems that the fruit tree is growing too fast, which is also affecting her mental strength.
She didn't dare stay in the space. She drank a cup of spiritual spring water and felt instantly refreshed before leaving the space and heading back.
As Su Li walked, she pondered how she would sell the fruits in this space once they ripened.
These are fruits irrigated with spiritual spring water; she would definitely feel the pinch if they were sold too cheaply.
But if it's too expensive, who would be willing to spend a lot of money to buy fruit?
I thought to myself, "I'll try selling them first when the time comes." As I was lost in thought, the wind picked up without me noticing. It seems the weather in Northeast China is getting colder every day.
Before she could even wrap the scarf tightly, a gust of wind blew it away.
Su Li hurriedly went forward to chase after him, but just as she stepped forward, a man picked up the scarf.
"Comrade, are you picking this up?"
Su Li felt that the person had asked a pointless question, so she stepped forward and said, "Comrade, that scarf is mine, please give it back to me."
The man was tall and strong, exuding masculinity. He handed the scarf over, saying, "Here you go."
Su Li took the scarf, wrapped it around her neck, thanked the man, and then tried to leave.
"Hey, what's your name?" A rough male voice came from behind.
Su Li ignored her and left.
The man stood there for a long time, unable to calm down, and only turned and left after her figure disappeared.
Su Li strolled around the supply and marketing cooperative. When she came out, she saw Su Jiaojiao walking towards her from not far away.
It seems she has already finished her exams.
As if possessed, she hid herself. Su Jiaojiao bought two cans of malted milk powder and a pound of apples at the supply and marketing cooperative.
When they came out, they didn't head in the direction of the oxcart, but walked in another direction.
Su Li found it strange that even if Su Jiaojiao had money at this time, it wouldn't be much.
So who exactly did she spend so much money to see?
Driven by curiosity, Su Li quietly followed behind her and saw her turn left and right until she reached a courtyard and knocked on the door.
The woman who came out to open the door looked to be in her early forties.
She looked at the young and pretty girl in front of her with a puzzled expression, and smiled, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"
"I'm here to see my uncle. My name is Su Jiaojiao."
Upon hearing that the surname was Su and the given name contained the characters "Jiaojiao," the woman roughly guessed who it was.
I've heard Yuan Shuo mention her before, so I suppose this must be his niece.
"Please come in quickly."
Su Li watched as the person went inside, feeling puzzled. The novel didn't mention that the female lead had an uncle in Xinhe County!
She only said that he had a cousin who was sent to the countryside here, but she has never heard the educated youth station mention which one was her cousin.
It seems these two have been hiding their true intentions very well.
I need to find out sometime; only by knowing myself and the enemy can I feel at ease.
The list of teachers who passed the assessment came out on the same day. Three of the four were former educated youth sent to the countryside, and the other was Lu Huai.
Su Jiaojiao also passed the exam, as did two other former educated youth who had come in the previous two years.
When Su Li got home, she saw Zhou Yuting complaining, "It's so unfair! Zhang Xia, a junior high school student, passed the teacher's exam, but I, a high school student, wasn't selected. There must be something fishy going on."
Zhao Meilan curled her lip where Zhou Yuting couldn't see her; "Tingting, with your grades, you'll definitely get in. I bet Zhang Xia has connections with higher-ups, and she's the one who took your spot."
"No, we can't let this go. I'm going to report Zhang Xia. Since she dared to do such a thing, she has to bear the consequences."
After listening to a couple of comments, Su Li felt that Zhou Yuting was too stupid and had no ability to distinguish right from wrong.
She blamed others for her own shortcomings. Although she hadn't been in the countryside for long, she had heard that Zhang Xia was the most book-loving among the older educated youth.
Whenever she's not working, she makes time to read, which shows that no one's success is accidental.
She walked into the courtyard, and the two of them stopped talking abruptly. Su Li scoffed, "Zhang Xia is known for her love of reading in the educated youth compound. Zhao Meilan, don't tell me you didn't know about this?"
