Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 120 Opening

Thus, the first day of the convenience store's opening ended in failure.

However, Su Yue was not discouraged. Instead, she happily observed the fleeing civilians.

Doing good deeds these days is really difficult!

On the morning of the third day after the convenience store opened, Su Yue, as usual, curiously peeked out the window again.

She wanted to see if there were any new passersby so she could attract customers.

Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to a group of people.

A dejected, faltering old man was slowly making his way along the road, followed closely by five or six relatively younger men.

Upon seeing this, Su Yue immediately called out enthusiastically, "Grandpa, come and buy something! I sell everything here!" Her clear and sweet voice carried far on the quiet road.

However, the sudden shout startled the old man, who was already in a bad mood.

He felt as if a thunderclap had struck his ear, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the men behind him reacted quickly and caught him in time, preventing an embarrassing accident from happening.

After regaining his balance, the old man looked up blankly and gazed in the direction from which the sound came.

A carriage was parked by the roadside, and a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes was leaning against the window. She was clearly a young lady from a wealthy family.

At that moment, the young lady was looking at them with a beaming smile, her eyes full of anticipation and enthusiasm.

The old man subconsciously reached up and rubbed his ear, seemingly unable to believe what he had just heard.

He muttered to himself, "Could I have misheard? This little girl actually said she sells everything here..."

After all, although he had never ventured out into the world, he had come into contact with countless businesses.

However, this was the first time he had ever encountered a shop that dared to make such outrageous claims and boast that it would sell everything!

He felt that the young girl was deliberately making fun of him, an old man, and he was already harboring a nameless anger.

At that moment, a surge of courage suddenly welled up from somewhere.

Without hesitation, he shouted back at the opposite side, "That's easy for you to say! I've lived most of my life and I've never heard of any shop that dares to claim that it can sell everything. Do you have any grain seeds?"

This old man was a highly respected village chief from the surrounding villages.

Previously, someone in the village had heard that there were grain seeds available for sale in the town.

So, carrying the earnest expectations of the whole village and the silver that everyone had pooled together to hand over, he led the strong and healthy men of the village to the town to buy grain seeds.

To their surprise, by the time they arrived, the grain seeds had already been sold out.

Unwilling to return empty-handed, the group searched the entire town thoroughly, but still failed to find a single grain of rice.

On the way back, everyone was filled with worry and couldn't help but ponder how to spend the days to come.

After all, without seeds to sow, it would be tantamount to cutting off their path to survival!

Think about it, they finally survived this natural and man-made disaster, and thought their lives were about to turn around, but now they are facing such a difficult problem.

Upon hearing this, Su Yue perked up. "Yes, how many do you want, sir?"

Her little shop finally ushered in the important moment of its opening.

When the old man heard that there were grain seeds, his eyes widened and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He stared incredulously at the girl who was earnestly asking him what he needed, as if everything happening before his eyes was a dream.

"Really?" The old man finally recovered from his shock, still unable to believe what he had heard, so he asked Su Yue again.

Su Yue smiled and nodded, replying affirmatively, "If you really want it, just tell me how much you want."

Seeing that the old man was her first customer at her convenience store, Su Yue decided to be magnanimous and not argue with him too much.

The old man turned around and looked at the men following behind him. After exchanging glances, the old man tremblingly stretched out a hand and carefully spread his five fingers.

Su Yue looked in the direction he was pointing and thought to herself: This is only fifty bags. This amount is nothing to me. After all, I have a lot of grain stored in my space.

Thinking of this, Su Yue nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, fifty bags it is then! But we have to make it clear beforehand, I don't accept credit here!"

However, no sooner had Su Yue finished speaking than the old man was once again stunned. He stammered, "Miss...you misunderstood. I meant only five bags, not fifty!"

He truly longed to buy fifty bags of seeds, but reality proved incredibly harsh.

After a difficult struggle, the entire village worked together and scraped together what they could, but they only managed to raise a paltry five taels of silver.

This meager amount is a drop in the ocean compared to the funds they need to purchase grain.

Before this, they had also gone to great lengths to inquire about the price of grain seeds in the town.

It turned out that each bag of grain, weighing fifty catties, was priced as high as one tael of silver!

Such an exorbitant price left them speechless and deterred them from even considering it.

Even if they sold all the possessions and lives of everyone in the village, they probably wouldn't be able to raise enough money to buy fifty bags of grain seeds.

Thinking of this, everyone was overcome with grief and sighed repeatedly.

It's all because of this terrible natural disaster. If it hadn't ravaged the village so mercilessly, how could their village, which originally had forty or fifty households, have ended up in such a state?

Countless villagers died, and only a dozen or so households survived.

After standing quietly to the side for a moment, Su Yue finally made up her mind.

She thought to herself: Since these people are my first customers, I should be a little more lenient with them.

So she decided to sell them five bags of seeds.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yue instantly took out five bags of grain seeds from her spatial storage and moved them into the carriage.

Upon seeing this, Dali immediately stepped forward without saying a word and carried the heavy bags of grain off the vehicle, placing them steadily on the ground.

Then, Su Yue smiled and said to the villagers in front of her, "Please check if there is anything wrong with these grains. If there is nothing wrong, please pay as soon as possible."

The old man saw it, opened the bag to check, and found that it really was grain seeds, and even high-quality grain.

Then he took out a somewhat tattered purse from his pocket and poured out the copper coins and silver coins inside the purse from the front of the carriage outside the carriage.

"Here are five taels of silver. I don't know if that's enough?" After looking at the grain, the old man felt that the silver might not be enough, but he still asked tentatively.
