Kapitel 13: Chapter 13 Selling Vegetables (1)_1
```
That very night, a heavy rain began to pour down incessantly, which lasted three days and four nights.
Under the careful attention of everyone, Grandfather Li's condition greatly improved. After a few days, he was already able to stand up and walk around slowly. He was a grateful man who knew his life had been saved by the Mo Family. Although he didn't say too much to express his gratitude, he firmly remembered their kindness in his heart.
Originally, Mo Yan and the others had planned to continue their journey after the rain, but meeting Liyan and her grandfather, who were also on their way to Jing City, they had to change their plan. They decided to wait until Grandfather Li fully recovered before setting off, so both families could look out for each other on the road.
Today, the sun shone brightly, heralding another fine day!
Aside from Liyan, who had to take care of her grandfather, the rest of them were not idle either. Early in the morning, Mo Qingze went out to inquire about a shortcut to Jing City, Xin Er and Zhenzhen got up early to collect firewood, and Mo Yan, under the pretext of looking for food, arrived at a deserted place and slipped into the Space.
The dense Spiritual Energy hit her face, and the aroma of vegetables filled her nostrils, her eyes met with the golden hues of rice and corn. Every time she saw the thriving scene inside the Space, it would fill Mo Yan with joy.
For the past half a month, she had planted three batches of cabbages, with the newly grown ones already being consumed. The tomatoes had been rotated twice. This time period did have tomatoes, and when she first brought them out, they didn't attract much attention. The radishes were not bad either. They tasted better than cabbages when boiled.
Thanks to the vegetables from the Space, their family never went hungry again. Compared to their condition when they had first arrived, not only did they not become thinner from traveling, they had even gained a little weight, and their complexions had also improved.
However, eating boiled vegetables without salt or oil nearly made Mo Yan vomit. Finally, coming across a small town, she planned to sell the vegetables and grains from the Space in exchange for oil and salt, as consuming neither for an extended period was not good for one's health.
As for her always being able to find food, it might fool the younger ones, but certainly not the adults. When she first produced a cabbage, Mo Qingze became suspicious. Later, when she brought out tomatoes, radishes, and even corn, he wasn't too surprised. Yet since he never asked about it, Mo Yan also didn't take the initiative to talk about it. Thus, father and daughter tacitly kept this secret to themselves.
Mo Yan gathered a good amount of cabbages, tomatoes, and corn. Since there were no radishes this season, she didn't bother picking them. As for the rice that was ripe for harvest, without tools for threshing and husking, she couldn't take it out to exchange for money, nor could she allow her family to enjoy rice meals.
After placing the cabbages, tomatoes, and corn into an old basket she had found, Mo Yan carried it out of the Space and hurried toward Longshi Town.
Meeting some peasant women from nearby villages heading to the market on the road, Mo Yan subtly blended in with them and struck up a conversation with a kind-looking old lady in her fifties who was carrying pears. Blessed with good looks and a sweet mouth, although the women found her unfamiliar, they didn't make much fuss. The group quickly hit it off and chattered away as they approached the gates of Longshi Town.
The Government Officials manning the gate today were the same ones who had troubled Liyan and her grandfather a few days earlier. They charged a Crossing Fee of Ten Wen Money from each out-of-town person who didn't have Longshi Town's Road Sign while letting the locals through without charge.
On seeing this, Mo Yan's palms began to sweat. She reached into the basket, pretending to search for the road sign, but of course found nothing. She feigned panic, her voice quivering with a cry, "What should I do, what should I do? I've lost my road sign, my father will beat me to death when I get back!"
The old lady in front of her heard the commotion, turned around with concern, and said, "Child, don't panic. Look for it carefully again."
Mo Yan nodded earnestly and resumed her search in the old basket, naturally finding nothing. To add realism to her act, she even managed to squeeze out two tears, looking utterly pitiable.

The old lady already liked her very much, and when she saw her crying, she quickly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, grandma has the road token with her. Later, I will say you are my granddaughter, and they will let you in!"
"Really? Thank you so much, grandma, but will they really let me in?" Mo Yan asked hesitantly.
Before the old lady could reply, several other women chirped in together, "They will, they will, we can all vouch for you!"
Mo Yan thanked them repeatedly, filled with gratitude, but she silently apologized to them in her heart; she truly didn't want to deceive these kind-hearted people.
Indeed, with everyone's help, Mo Yan avoided the government official's inspection and entered Longshi Town smoothly.
Mo Yan followed the old lady and the others, winding this way and that until they arrived at the bustling marketplace.
The stalls in the market weren't fixed; whoever arrived first could take the best spots. Mo Yan and her group arrived early, so there weren't many vendors yet. They chose a spacious location and set out their goods for sale.
After arranging their wares neatly, Mo Yan helped the old lady with her pears while she looked at the other goods for sale. She noticed that most people were selling vegetables, poultry, fish, and meat. The vegetables were common in her previous life, but she didn't see many fruits. There were a few sellers with pears and peaches, but the commonly seen apples of her former world were nowhere to be found.
While she was looking around, the old lady beside her chuckled, "How did you grow these vegetables and corn? They are bigger than others' and so nicely colored; they look so good!"
Of course! Space produces only fine goods!
Mo Yan felt proud inside, but she didn't show it externally, "Perhaps it's because I used more fertilizer that they grew well. My family is really counting on these to trade for oil and salt!"
The old lady was puzzled. Her own husband was skilled at farming, and when it came to watering and fertilizing, he never slacked, yet why couldn't he produce such fine results?
As the sun slowly rose, the marketplace became more crowded. Calls from vendors of all sizes emerged in a continuous stream. It was Mo Yan's first time selling vegetables in two lifetimes, and she was too shy to speak up, just standing there dumbfounded, watching the other vendors.
A well-dressed woman passed by Mo Yan's stall and, upon seeing the large, brightly colored tomatoes, her eyes lit up. She pointed to the tomatoes and asked, "Miss, how much are these selling for?"
Not expecting a customer so quickly, Mo Yan didn't give a direct price. Instead, she picked up a tomato, cut it in half, and handed half over, "Big sister, please try this first. There's no charge!"
The woman accepted it with a puzzled look, took a bite, and the crunchy texture and the sweet and sour taste made her eat several more bites; she almost finished the half tomato. Smacking her lips, she said contentedly, "Miss, give me five pounds."
"Okay!"
Mo Yan was overjoyed with her first "big deal," but since she had no scales and didn't know how to weigh, she had to ask the old lady with a scale for help.
The tomatoes were big; nine of them made up five pounds. As Mo Yan was placing tomatoes into the woman's basket, she said, "Big sister, here are your tomatoes. It's three Wen per pound, fifteen Wen in total."
The woman was taking out her money, but when she heard it was fifteen cents, she looked displeased, "Others' tomatoes are only two Wen per pound, why are you asking for three? That's too expensive!"
Mo Yan didn't get annoyed, "Big sister, you tried them just now. How do you think my tomatoes compare with others'?"
Upon hearing this, the woman fell silent; after all, the taste of the tomatoes was truly good, and she couldn't deny it.
In the end, Mo Yan gave away two stalks of lush Dabai cabbages to the woman, who seemed as if she had gotten a great deal and happily paid up.
Counting the fifteen cents she had earned for the first time in this life, Mo Yan's smile was exceptionally content...
