She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 810 - 769: Famine Era 10 (Second Update)
After all, being able to exchange things in turbulent times is not an easy task in itself, especially since the currency value of this era is really too chaotic.
She went to the Cooperative Society to buy things, and she had to use silver coins to exchange for currency with the salesperson first. She couldn’t tell if she was losing out, but every time she went, they treated her warmly. Sometimes they even saved special-priced fabric for her. Just for that, the previous losses were worth it. At least knowing a salesperson at the Cooperative Society made many things easier for her, and being able to buy so much cotton was related to this connection.
After the beginning of autumn, the weather cooled down. She put on the autumn clothes and pants, underwear she had made earlier, which felt quite comfortable. She originally thought she wouldn’t be able to make them, but after comparing the sizes bought by her classmates and making them accordingly, she felt her skills were passable. Perhaps it was related to the needlework she subconsciously learned.
Days at school were dull. The boys didn’t pay much attention to her, and the girls only played with those they were familiar with. Even some close classmates kept a good distance from each other. After all, they were still in a feudal society, and things like brotherly bonds or ambiguous relationships between boys and girls from her past life would never happen.
So, the isolation here was not too apparent, nor did it make her anxious. Instead, she studied more earnestly in this solitude.
If there was one thing that made the boys in her class take notice, it was probably during one of the exams. Not only did she take the third grade exam, but she also took the fourth grade exam. As a result, she got first place in the third grade and fifteenth in the fourth grade. Because of this exam, Mr. Wang directly transferred her to the fourth grade class.
When she packed her things and left, she still remembered the looks the boys gave her. They simply didn’t expect the ugly duckling they usually ignored to transform so rapidly. After all, when she first arrived, her foundation was weaker than theirs. Yet in no time, she caught up?
She guessed that her strong foundation was related to her having crossed through so many worlds. Those subconscious instincts actually helped a lot.
Whether it was classical Chinese or modern literature, all she lacked was familiarity with the current environment. Once she got the hang of it and became familiar with the pattern, how could she not write?
However, when writing, she was extremely cautious and careful, afraid of writing something she shouldn’t and having it become a handle against her in the future.
Yet she seemed to forget that the reason this life was a punishment world was that in many situations, it was not up to her.
Just experiencing two years of hardship during the Famine Era, is that considered punishment?
No, no, no, you might have a deep misunderstanding of what a punishment world is.
Just look at the Beast World, always working, even in later stages when she was doted on by several Beastmen, the work never lessened. Because if she didn’t work, she wouldn’t feel secure or at ease. Only by managing the household neatly, having everything she wanted to eat ready, couldn’t be achieved by just talking.
It’s just like how Mom is unique at home, because her presence allows the man and children to find a sense of belonging.
Of course, Ye Huan didn’t know these things, because she no longer had memory of the Beast World, only those instinctive subconscious reactions. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Jumping straight from the third year to the fourth year brought a lot of pressure, so aside from weekends, she spent all her time studying.
In the fields at level 11, she grew watermelon and soybeans. She used the soybeans accumulated in the space to make tofu, selling at two yuan per jin, which sold faster than fruits.
Because it wasn’t silver coins, two yuan was the current government currency. From Saturday to Sunday, she could make three batches totaling sixty jin. Calculating with three jin of soybeans yielding one jin of tofu, she used twenty jin of soybeans each time, and it roughly took a week to accumulate enough soybeans.
Sixty jin could sell for US$ 120. Subtracting the cost of buying the millstone, tools for making tofu, and the accumulated water, beans from the space, it wasn’t profitable.
Not being profitable the first time, she had little motivation the second time since selling tofu was less profitable than directly selling beans or fruits.
However, she could keep the tools for making tofu. When she or her family wanted to eat some, she could make a batch.
