After Ye Yubin finished speaking, Xiao Yingchun asked with a smile, “So when can I get the fastest batch? I need them urgently.”

Ye Yubin gave her a look, “I’ll go check for you now to see how much stock is left.”

Ye Yubin went into the house, and before long, he came out carrying three boxes, “This is all the current stock. Take these back first. I’ll deliver the rest to your convenience store in three days, okay?”

“Alrighty! Thanks, Uncle Ye. How much is it in total? Should I pay you now?”

Ye Yubin gave her a look again, “What’s the rush? We’ll settle the bill after I restock.”

“Alrighty! Uncle Ye, I’m heading off then…”

Xiao Yingchun picked up the three boxes of medicine to leave, but Ye Yubin called out to her again, “Carrying them like that, you can’t even see the road! I’ll take them over for you on my bike.”

“Hehehe, thank you, Uncle Ye…” Xiao Yingchun gladly let Ye Yubin load the medicine onto his electric bike and rode with him back to the supermarket.

After the three boxes of medicine were put into the storeroom, and she said goodbye to Ye Yubin, Xiao Yingchun went to the distillery to find Uncle Wu.

Uncle Wu had just sold 300 jin* of strong liquor to Xiao Yingchun yesterday. Seeing her come again today, he immediately beamed with joy, “What’s this? Little Xiao, buying more wine?”

*jin (斤) is a Chinese unit of weight, roughly 500 grams.

Xiao Yingchun also smiled, “My friend said your wine is good, so I came to help buy some more. This time, I need 2,000 jin.”

A team of 10,000 people, if each person gets about 2 liang,* that should be enough, right?

*liang (两) is roughly 50 grams (1/10 of a jin).

Uncle Wu doubted his ears, “2,000 jin?”

Xiao Yingchun nodded, “I want something stronger.”

If the alcohol content is too low, people tend to drink more. It’s better to use stronger liquor— 2 liang per person should be enough.

Uncle Wu was so excited his face turned red, “Here, 56% ABV— try it and see if it tastes good?”

Xiao Yingchun quickly waved her hands, she had no interest in alcohol.

This stuff burns all the way from the mouth to the stomach— what’s so good about that?

Uncle Wu didn’t push it. He offered it at ten yuan per jin. Xiao Yingchun told him to pack it in plastic barrels and deliver it to the convenience store, while she headed home first.

She had previously called to order instant noodles and had to go home to wait for the delivery.

The supermarket door opened, and Xiao Yingchun pulled out a lounge chair, sat at the entrance, and with that, her routine of watching over the store began. 

It was a cloudy day. There was a breeze at the entrance, so it wasn’t too hot.

She took out her phone and started scrolling through videos, only to be surprised that most of the ones being pushed to her were about antiques like silver ingots, old jewelry, and other ancient artifacts.

It seemed that her previous searches for the price of silver and gold ingots had been captured by big data.

Xiao Yingchun sighed, big data understands me.

Along the way, she sold a few packs of cigarettes and some bottles of water. Just as she was enjoying watching videos about the prices of ancient jewelry, she suddenly heard a man’s surprised voice, “Beauty, you’re here?”

Xiao Yingchun looked up and was stunned to find a tall, handsome man wearing gold-rimmed glasses standing in front of her, looking down at her.

It was the pawnshop owner, Dai Hengxin.

Dai Hengxin’s face was full of joy, “Do you live around here? How come I’ve never seen you before?”

Xiao Yingchun pointed in the direction of the village area, “You live here too?”

I’ve never seen you either!

Dai Hengxin shook his head, “My grandfather lives here. I came to visit him and happened to see you right away.”

“Who’s your grandfather?”

“His name is Zhao Jiping.”

Alarms rang in Xiao Yingchun’s mind, I’m doomed—Dai Hengxin is Grandpa Zhao’s grandson!

If Dai Hengxin asked Grandpa Zhao about her, she’d be exposed for sure.

After all, the elderly in the village all know everyone’s situation. Her parents were just ordinary folks—where would they have gotten family heirlooms like gold and silver ingots to pass down?!
