An invisible force firmly blocked his hand.

Xiao Yingchun stared, wide-eyed, as Fu Chen’an tried to touch the door, but his hand stopped about a centimeter from it.

Fu Chen’an pushed with force, but that one-centimeter distance wouldn’t shrink.

Xiao Yingchun: “…”

Fu Chen’an noticed Xiao Yingchun’s stunned expression, like she’d just seen a ghost and both fell silent.

Xiao Yingchun swallowed and pulled over a plastic stool, motioning for Fu Chen’an to sit,
“I think… we need to have an honest talk.”

Fu Chen’an nodded, “Alright.”

After a frank discussion, the two once again fell into silence.

Xiao Yingchun digested what she’d heard, then softly asked,
“So you are the general of Daliang? After failing to attack Yongzhou, you are now camped in a place called Xima Town outside Yongzhou City?”

Fu Chen’an nodded, eyes fixed on Xiao Yingchun, trying to glean some clues from her expression.

He only saw shock—and a strange hint of excitement…

Xiao Yingchun continued confirming, “Your ten thousand soldiers’ supplies have been cut off, and now you’re short on water and food? Then you accidentally discovered this door, entered my shop, and now you want to use my shop to purchase enough food and water for your soldiers?”

Fu Chen’an nodded again.

Xiao Yingchun gritted her teeth and pointed to the back door, “Your soldiers can’t come in, only you can?”

Fu Chen’an nodded.

Xiao Yingchun’s mind was in a mess; she didn’t even know what else to ask and fell into silence.

Seeing that she’d finished asking, Fu Chen’an began, “You’re saying, in your town, people all wear clothes like yours, and your country has 1.4 billion people?”

Xiao Yingchun nodded.

“You all eat well daily, wear warm clothes? Live in houses like this?”

Xiao Yingchun nodded.

“Your country doesn’t fight wars?”

Xiao Yingchun nodded like a pecking chicken.

After this round of questions, Fu Chen’an could only sigh with envy, “Your people are truly blessed…”

Daliang was constantly harassed at the borders by neighboring states, which was why soldiers like him had to fight endlessly to push them back.

At this moment, a sense of pride involuntarily appeared on Xiao Yingchun’s face, “Of course!”

But then Fu Chen’an looked her up and down, “Since you can afford clothing, then why…are you wearing so little?”

Xiao Yingchun: “? What do you mean by that!”

Seeing her flare up, Fu Chen’an quickly apologized, “I misspoke. This lad sincerely apologizes to the young lady—please forgive me.”

Seeing how earnest he was in apologizing (plus he’s the golden goose), Xiao Yingchun decided to forgive him.

*golden goose refers to someone or something that provides continuous profit or advantage, especially financially.

“Forget it, we’re just not the same kind of people.”

Fu Chen’an accepted her words. After thinking for a moment, he stood up and said,
“Then I shall take my leave! I’ll come again tomorrow.”

Xiao Yingchun nodded and emphasized one point in particular:

“These gold ingots must be real. Only then will I get you that much ration. If they’re not real, I won’t do business with you anymore!”

“Miss Xiao, feel free to have them examined. If they’re not genuine, I, Fu Chen’an, will chop off my own head for you to kick around like a ball!”

Xiao Yingchun imagined the scene of a head being kicked like a ball and shuddered in fright.

“Forget it! I don’t want your head. I just won’t do business with you again.”

Fu Chen’an then left, taking the compressed biscuits and Wahaha mineral water he bought today, and left behind fifty taels of silver ingots.

As the curtain stilled after Fu Chen’an’s departure, Xiao Yingchun suddenly heard a “Ding-dong!” sound in her ears.

“Cross-Time Transaction: Initial 3 successful deals. Cross-Time Supermarket Terminal System activated!”
“System binding host: Xiao Yingchun!”
“System level: Level 1.”
“System storage function unlocked.”
“System transaction function unlocked.”
“Level 1 system transaction era: Daliang Dynasty.”
“Level 1 system trade partner: 1 bound (Fu Chen’an).”
