Chapter 88 Stir-fried Snails



Lin Xueqing frowned.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't we go and see if there are any underground boxing matches like that here? With my skills, I'm sure I can make money."

Lin Jinyue rejected it immediately.

That would be far too dangerous.

Although her brother is quite skilled, there are many capable people in ancient times. What if there is a hidden master among them?

Lin Jinyue still felt that she should make money steadily and honestly.

You only realize how important it is to be alive after you've died once.

Seeing that it was still early, Lin Jinyue decided to take a walk around.

While the fighting raged outside Lingnan, the towns on this side of Lingnan were bustling with activity.

Prices have risen considerably, but they can also exchange food for more money.

As a result, the prices of other things are also gradually increasing.

Lin Jinyue came to buy things half a month ago, and now when she looked at the prices, they had doubled.

When Lin Jinyue moved from the wealthy area to the ordinary area, she felt a significant sense of loss.

It looks rather bleak.

The sugar figurines sold for two coins each by the roadside were no longer attracting customers, and the vendors selling candied hawthorns were calling out weakly.

Lin Jinyue began to worry. Could this really be sold?

Her idea was that since selling iced drinks wasn't working out for the time being, she could try something else, something cheaper, and she wouldn't even need to rent a shop; she could just make a small profit and sell a lot.

But now, everyone is struggling to make ends meet; they can't even sell candied hawthorns and sugar figurines for two or three coins.

Then Lin Jinyue would have to improve the cost-effectiveness of the food.

She felt that running a restaurant business was a safe bet, since everyone needs to eat, but if it were cheaper…

Lin Jinyue continued to look.

After looking around, Lin Jinyue couldn't decide what kind of business to start, but she did take a liking to a particular stall.

There's a row of stalls here, each about two or three square meters in size, selling all sorts of things, like braised pork knuckle noodles, wontons...

Although it was noisy, everything looked quite clean.

There are quite a few people coming and going here, including ordinary people and servants from wealthy families.

After making inquiries, Lin Jinyue learned that the rent for the stalls here was 500 coins per month, but if anyone dared to buy broken items, they would be kicked out and the rent would not be refunded.

She has a sweet tongue, and she tells people everything when asked. Now that the price of grain has gone up again, to sixty coins a pound, people are still buying their vegetarian noodles for twenty coins a bowl.

If you want a few more slices of meat, it will cost an extra five coins.

Meat dishes, like pig's feet noodles, beef offal soup, and meat patties, would cost fifty coins.

Lin Jinyue immediately took out her money and rented a seat while there were still empty seats.

I'll think about what cheap and delicious thing to make when I get home tonight.

Lin Jinyue discovered another bug: although prices in Lingnan were rising, prices in the system space remained stable.

She can earn more silver and then buy it from the system's shop.

However, the next moment, a cold, mechanical voice rang in her mind:

[System: Due to significant price fluctuations caused by the war, the system has decided to increase the prices of items in the system shop by 5% each month until prices return to normal.]

Seeing that Lin Jinyue had walked halfway and then stopped talking.

Lin Xueqing nudged her: "What's wrong?"

Lin Jinyue, with a mournful face, told Lin Xueqing what had just happened.

Lin Xueqing rubbed her head: "It's okay. Look, the price has increased by almost 10% in half a month, while the system only increases by 5% every month. We're still making a profit. At least the system isn't completely synchronized."

Based on Lin Jinyue's understanding of this broken system, it's definitely not that it doesn't want to, but rather that it lacks the necessary permissions.

Lin Jinyue vowed that she would definitely find a way to fleece this damn system in the future.

It was already evening when we got back to the village.

As soon as she got back, Lin Jinyue smelled the aroma of barbecue.

Lin Shucheng said with a smile, "Girls, I specially saved some barbecue for you."

Seeing the villagers gather around, Lin Shucheng quickly pulled his daughter home.

Lin Shucheng asked in a low voice, "Honey, the person who was surveying seemed to be hinting to me that they allocated us a little more land. Can you see if the system can calculate how much land we were allocated in total?"

Lin Shucheng felt a surge of excitement.

This is taking advantage of the government!

Lin Jinyue poked at the system, and it was at this moment that she found the system to be quite useful.

[System: A total of 11,900 acres of land has been allocated to the host.]

Good heavens, we got two thousand acres for free!

Lin Jinyue looked at her father: "Father, no wonder you always told us to be kind to others. Good heavens, if we were to buy these two thousand acres of land, it would cost at least ten thousand taels of silver."

Lin Shucheng was extremely proud when his daughter praised him.

He then asked, "Daughter, we don't know much about this either. What do you think would be the best use for that land?"

Lin Jinyue: "Don't worry, I suddenly thought of a way to make money."

Before it got dark, she had to get the villagers to get ready.

Lin Jinyue had just seen those grilled seafood and conch.

However, these items are relatively rare, and if they were to be sold, the price would certainly not be low.

Lin Jinyue thought she should take it one step at a time and see how well the stir-fried snails sold.

This can also be considered a meat dish, and it's fine as a snack when you're bored.

Lin Jinyue quickly asked everyone in the village to collect some snails to put in the water tank; she would get them first thing tomorrow morning.

Before it got dark, everyone in the village, young and old, went to collect snails.

Lin Jinyue then brought her parents and brother into the space.

Just now, she gained a lot of experience.

Immediately after the land handover was completed, the system automatically identified the land as belonging to Lin Jinyue and automatically created a model.
