"Has everyone checked into a hotel yet? Hotels are so expensive! I've only been here for an hour and I've already spent all my gold coins, what a disaster!"
"Me too! I'm penniless after just one hour. Poor people really shouldn't come to the market!"
"I'm leaving. What kind of awful place is this? Thieves everywhere, exorbitant prices. Doesn't anyone care?"
"We can't leave now. They said we can only go back after the market closes. Isn't that unreasonable?"
"What? Is that so?"
"Yes, the Frost and Snow Market: you come with lots of gold coins and leave penniless."
Lu Xingchen's heart sank.
She forgot that she would need to find a place to stay here, which would cost her even more money.
She asked the elderly man driving the cart, "Sir, do you know the accommodation prices in Shuangxue Village?"
The old man driving the cart chuckled: "There are many inns in Frost Snow Village. Guests should choose carefully. Small inns may be the site of robberies. It's safer to stay in a large inn."
Lu Xingchen found it incredible: "Is there no one in charge here?"
The old man driving the cart laughed out loud: "Who cares?"
Lu Xingchen thought for a moment: "Is there any vacant land? Can I build a house there?"
The old man driving the cart immediately became serious: "That won't do. If you don't find a proper place to stay for the night, or build your own house, the village guards will arrest you!"
Lu Xingchen: ...
So domineering!
Lu Xingchen said helplessly, "Then could you please recommend an inn for me, sir?"
She had to settle down quickly before her charm card expired.
The old man turned around and chuckled, glancing at Lu Xingchen's white jade cane: "Why don't you stay at my inn, Master? Our inn may not be big, but it's absolutely safe."
Lu Xingchen was stunned: "Old man, your family also has an inn business?"
The old man proudly said, "The inn is located at the intersection of South Street and North Street, a bit out of the way, but definitely cheap enough. If you want to stay there, Master, a room will cost 500 gold coins a night!"
Lu Xingchen looked at the nearby channels calmly.
I roughly know the accommodation prices: large guesthouses cost 1,000-3,000 per night, while small guesthouses cost at least 500-600 per night.
The price the old man gave was quite good.
It was probably the effect of the white jade cane.
Lu Xingchen agreed to go and take a look first.
Soon, the two returned to the vicinity of the safe shop.
Lu Xingchen spotted Gao Dafu sneaking around; he was heavily pregnant and was holding back Xuan Yuan Batian as he came out of the shop.
Not far away, there was a horse-drawn carriage.
It seems that Xuanyuan Batian ultimately chose the carriage to buy the safe.
Lu Xingchen immediately messaged Gao Dafu privately: "How are the sales going?"
Gao Dafu: "Hehe, sold two, 4000 gold coins each, not bad, a sure way to get rich. Now another big customer has arrived, wait for me!"
Lu Xingchen: "I see, sell them at a higher price. Also, here are some cotton-padded clothes, sell them to them too, 3000 each!"
Gao Dafu: "You bought a cotton-padded coat! That's great! Come, come!"
Lu Xingchen flipped through the list and sent the most vibrant colors—bright green, sky blue, and bright red—to Gao Dafu.
Gao Dafu pulled Xuanyuan Batian to a secluded spot.
Lu Xingchen got off the carriage, thought for a moment, and then went into the Ji family safe.
Upon seeing him, the shop owner immediately beamed and came over to greet him: "Master, you've come again? How many safes do you need this time?"
Gao Dafu: "Hehe, I've sold two insurance policies for 4,000 each, and they still want more. Xiao Lu, please stock up this time!"
Lu Xingchen immediately said to the shop owner, "Ten!"
Since she could sell it, she decided not to be polite.
The shop owner was a little embarrassed: "Master, there are rules. Each person can only buy a maximum of 15 safes. You bought 10 before, so you can only buy five now."
Lu Xingchen said regretfully: "Okay, then I want 5!"
After exchanging money for goods, Lu Xingchen handed a safe to Gao Dafu: "This sells for 5000!"
Since she can’t even purchase more goods, she has to sell them at a higher price, right?
A few minutes later, Gao Dafu sent a message: "Done, haha, I have 29,000 gold coins here, I'll give them to you right away!"
Lu Xingchen narrowed his eyes. Not bad, a great deal!
Unfortunately, she can't get any more safes and cotton-padded coats now, so she has to keep the rest in case she runs into Lu Haoyue and his group.
She walked out of the shop, and Gao Dafu rushed over, excitedly saying, "Xiao Lu, you've struck it rich! Haha, we just met a sucker who bought three safes and three cotton coats! Hahahaha!"
Lu Xingchen looked up and saw Xuan Yuanbatian with a strange expression.
