CHAPTER 111: CHAPTER 111: RICE

She must immediately inform Lin Ye of this matter.

After all, their stall is getting bigger and bigger. In the future, when they rent a warehouse, it’s likely they’ll expand further.

By then, with the stall expanding, Lin Ye won’t be able to handle it all alone, so they’ll definitely need some help.

Moreover, now that Jiang Xin has the financial capacity, hiring an employee for sixty yuan a month is quite feasible for her.

After all, the profits from the goods she sells daily already exceed that amount.

Besides, Jiang Xin has other ideas.

If she saves enough money in the coming days, she plans to acquire a storefront nearby solely for selling general goods, and then hire Lin Ye as the manager to watch over it.

Then, with her free time, she’ll explore other business ventures.

You can’t just rely on this one avenue to make money; it’s important to develop in multiple areas.

Though running a stall is profitable, the income is ultimately limited.

She could certainly leverage other opportunities, perhaps make some investments to earn money, especially given the era’s disparities.

Once her pockets are sufficiently filled, she’ll find a place to travel, and live a carefree and leisurely life.

It’s mentioned in the original memory that her parents are doing business outside the province, isn’t it?

If she expands her business early enough, she could bring them over to be with her.

And thus, it would count as a family reunion for the three of them,

In her previous life, Jiang Xin was an orphan, and from the moment she opened her eyes, she never saw who her biological parents were.

Moreover, it was a post-apocalyptic world; maybe her parents were already dead.

If not, Jiang Xin wouldn’t have never met them, and during that time, many people like Jiang Xin had never seen their parents.

As time passed, Jiang Xin stopped caring as much.

This life is different, since she has reincarnated into the original owner, now she is the original owner herself in this world.

Although her soul has changed, her current body does have a blood connection with the original owner’s parents.

This is something that cannot be severed, and besides, she’s already in this world, and there’s currently no way to travel back.

So, the original owner’s parents are indeed the only relatives Jiang Xin has in this world.

Jiang Xin still feels some anticipation and curiosity towards these parents whom she has never met.

If there’s a chance, reuniting with the family could fulfill the original owner’s wish.

But for now, the most important thing is to focus on earning money promptly and avenging the original owner.

Time keeps ticking away, and Lin Ye has gone somewhere to wash lunch boxes and hasn’t returned yet.

Jiang Xin stands there daydreaming, her mind filled with all sorts of chaotic thoughts.

Jiang Xin feels somewhat uncertain about the future.

As she was glancing around, suddenly a familiar voice came from overhead.

Jiang Xin dazedly raised her head to see a somewhat familiar face staring at her.

Several days have passed after all, and her mind can’t keep up with her thoughts.

In her mind, Jiang Xin doesn’t recognize this person at all, yet feels she’s seen them somewhere before but can’t recall.

The person is a seventy-something old man wearing the current trend of a gray shirt, with white canvas shoes on his feet.

Though his hair is graying with age, it’s apparent that he’s an elderly gentleman who loves cleanliness.

At this moment, Jiang Xin is caught in a daze, and the old man finally speaks.

Seeing Jiang Xin with that dumbfounded look, he immediately realizes that this little girl has forgotten him.

Afraid of startling Jiang Xin, the old man hurriedly speaks:

"You little girl, I’ve finally found you."

"Do you remember me? Last time I bought rice from you, and after eating it at home, the family said it was delicious and asked me to buy more."

"These past few days, when I had some free time, I wandered around the market, but I couldn’t find you."

When the old man says this, he glances at the stall Jiang Xin has set up now, with the scattered goods for sale.

Only then does he realize that no wonder he couldn’t find Jiang Xin these days; she’s been selling different things.

The transition seems quite vast, jumping from selling food to dealing with various miscellaneous life items.

How can anyone find her under these circumstances?

Luckily, he persisted and didn’t give up. Today, he finally found Jiang Xin; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to buy the rice.

When the old man mentions this, he pauses, then excitedly continues:

"Fortunately, I’ve been looking for you, otherwise I really wouldn’t have been able to buy the rice."

"Also, young lady, you were selling rice perfectly well, why did you switch to selling these other items?"

Being of the older generation, this man is quite straightforward, so in their mind, selling goods naturally means dealing in stable, easy-to-sell items.

In their view, things like rice and eggs that Jiang Xin sold that day were rare in the market.

If she continued selling them, she might earn quite a lot.

When Jiang Xin hears the old man talk about rice, she finally realizes what’s going on.

Jiang Xin slaps her thigh and suddenly remembers how she could have forgotten something so important.

She had clearly agreed in the market to sell rice to an old man.

But back then, she had just reincarnated here, and as time went on, she got busy and forgot.

As a result, the old man searched for her in the market for several days, and Jiang Xin felt bad about it.

Seeing the old man’s excited demeanor, she says:

"Oh, I’m really sorry, I forgot about it with all the things going on lately."

"How much rice do you need? Just let me know, and tomorrow when you come here, I’ll bring it for you. How does that sound?"

Jiang Xin thinks that since the supplies in her space are unlimited, she could provide as much rice as needed without issue.

Bringing out more and selling more to this old man isn’t a problem.
