Without having to push the cart, the two quickly returned to the city gate, only to find that a large pot of corn had already been sold out, and everyone was waiting for them listlessly.
It was also Shen Xingmian's fault for not thinking things through. She thought that such a big pot, selling for five coins a stick, would take quite a while to sell.
In just one round trip, they were sold out.
Upon seeing them appear, Shen Xingyan ran to her younger sister and proudly said:
"Sister, this corn is really selling well. As soon as the pot lid is opened, the aroma is almost ten miles away. Many people decide to buy one to try as soon as they ask the price, and after tasting it, they immediately come back to buy more."
"Yes, a lot of people are asking us when we'll sell again. This business is so easy," Mu Zhizhi chimed in.
Shen Xingmian waved his hand with a smile: "We're just selling something novel. This corn has such a high yield, once it becomes widespread, it won't fetch this price anymore."
"Sister, shall we continue? It's so wonderful to feel the reward after working hard. I'm even thinking of giving up martial arts and going into business! Oh dear!"
Shen Xingyan had barely finished speaking when she received a heavy blow to the head. Shen Yunting sneered and threatened, "Let's see if you can give up one of them!"
Shen Xingmian was a little worried that her mother was so strict with her cousin, and that her aunt might be unhappy, but seeing her looking on with amusement, it seemed that she really didn't mind at all.
Seeing Shen Xingmian looking over, Mu Zhizhi leaned closer to her and whispered:
"Yan'er has been naughty since she was little. She's only afraid of your mother in the whole family. Luckily, your mother is willing to help discipline her, otherwise she would be completely lawless."
Hearing her aunt say this, Shen Xingmian was finally relieved. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for her mother to be so gentle to her but so fierce to her cousin.
She overlooked the most important point: after so many years of mental retardation, and finally recovering, no one in her family could bear to be harsh with her.
It feels like someone has been lying on the ground in mud for a long time, and suddenly one day, without anyone helping them, they climb up the wall by themselves, and the wall is extremely smooth.
Anyone would be amazed and wouldn't dare to ask for too much.
"We won't be busy with random things today. I'll take you somewhere, hehe."
Shen Xingmian didn't say it directly, although she felt that her family members had enough self-control to not behave too abnormally and let others find out.
But with so many people around, it's still a bit unsettling.
They took a detour back to their second uncle's house, and only after confirming that no one was following them did they knock on the door and let their family members in.
At first, no one realized it, but when they saw the people who came out to greet them, they were all stunned for a moment, because no one expected that the reunion would happen so quickly.
They had thought they would have to stay here for at least three to five days, or even half a month.
The family was finally reunited. Once inside, Shen Xingmian could still faintly hear sobbing.
I don't know who started crying first, but the emotion started to affect everyone, and in the end, everyone's eyes were red.
Shen Xingmian was also deeply affected, and wiped her eyes with discomfort. Thinking about her two unsuccessful lives, she felt quite complicated.
She was feeling sad when a handkerchief was handed to her. Without even looking, she knew it was Xiao Yanyue.
She burst into laughter through her tears and said in a muffled voice, "Our Daodao is still the most considerate."
In the entire room, Xiao Yanyue was the only one who wasn't crying.
Although he was also affected by the emotions, he held back his tears, because it seemed inappropriate for an outsider like him to cry during such a family reunion.
Worried that he might overthink things, Shen Xingmian led the people out of the house, intending to look around.
If nothing unexpected happens, they should stay here for a few days to rest and recuperate, as living in a carriage every day is quite tiring.
If she hadn't laid out a thick cushion, she would have been completely broken after such a bumpy ride.
This also makes her miss modern roads, where no matter how heavy the rain, the road surface dries quickly once the rain stops.
With gas and running water, you can buy a small apartment in the city and live a life where you can stock up on supplies and not leave the house for a long time.
Extremely convenient.
Later, after the apocalypse, it was discovered that these things we take for granted in daily life can cause a lot of trouble if we lose them, requiring people to spend a lot of time and effort to solve them.
Just take the matter of starting a fire as an example. If there is no gas, you have to find firewood, and you may even need to chop wood.
Just thinking about it makes me not even want to cook.
Once you get here, all the modern conveniences are gone, and most importantly, there's no internet!
Fortunately, she had collected quite a few electronic products, and she could occasionally play with them for a little while before going to bed at night. However, this was not possible on the carriage, as the shaking made it impossible to see the screen clearly.
She didn't have much time to teach people how to play games before, and she also felt that these things were addictive and would interfere with her work, so she had always avoided them.
But now that she suddenly had a moment to catch her breath, Xiao Yanyue's loneliness at being rejected by his blood relatives made her feel sorry for him, so she decided to take him to do something interesting.
She immediately took out Tetris, the easiest game to learn, to let the child get used to the feel of it.
The child was indeed clever; after a little guidance, she played very skillfully.
Shen Xingmian then had him try a few more games and discovered that this person not only learned quickly but also had very fast hand speed.
He played a game where you tap the screen to the music, and he completed a song in one go without missing a single note.
She won't say who's being so incredibly jealous.
Shen Xingmian has absolutely no talent for games. No matter what game it is, she is terrible at it. Even if she puts her mind to it and plays for a long time, she doesn't improve.
The most outrageous thing is that even if she is very familiar with a game, if she doesn't play it for a while, she will become a novice again when she picks it up again.
At first, she thought that all girls were like that, until she met a female jungler in a game who could play all the characters and was very good at them. She then realized that it wasn't the girls who were bad, but herself.
She was deeply affected and quit her internet addiction after that, losing interest in all games.
He was thrilled to have met a gaming genius and wanted him to help him rank up immediately.
She finally has her own gaming partner!
I would never dislike her!
But then she suddenly remembered that there was no internet connection, and that her three teammates and the opposing players were gone, and she immediately became dejected again.
Xiao Yanyue only wanted to learn about her past, and after learning about it, she put down the little thing called a cell phone.
Seeing the dejected look on the person next to him, he thought he had done something wrong and asked somewhat uneasily, "Was it...something I did wrong?"
Shen Xingmian replied sullenly, "No, you just do everything too well."
"You have no idea what kind of pressure it is when a mediocre person is next to a genius. It's infuriating!"
