The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 54 Procurement

Lin's father went to buy pillars on his mule and wasn't home.

Lin Yan decided to ask someone for help. She needed to prepare lunch for more than a dozen people, and she would be exhausted if she did it all herself.

"Let's find Uncle Li first and go to the county to buy some ingredients! We can also share the money from selling dried fruit with Xiaocao while we're at it," Lin Yan thought.

When Lin Yan arrived at the Li family home, Uncle Li and Xiao Cao were both there.

"Uncle Li, I need to take a donkey cart to the county to buy some ingredients!"

“Okay, I also need to pick up the people who went to the county this morning, so I’ll have to go for a while!” Uncle Li nodded.

"Hey, I'm going too! I'm going too!" Li Xiaocao wanted to spend some time with Lin Yan and wanted to go as well.

"They were calling you!" Lin Yan said with a smile.

"You were helping me sell dried fruit before, who gave you this money?" Lin Yan asked, holding a small bag.

"Hey, give me my wages back!"

"Let me see!" Li Xiaocao refused to push Lin Yan away.

But when she opened the small bag and saw the money inside, she was stunned.

"Why are you giving me so much!" Li Xiaocao exclaimed in surprise.

"This must cost several taels of silver!"

"How much?!" Uncle Li heard Li Xiaocao's exclamation and leaned closer in disbelief.

When he snatched the money bag from Li Xiaocao's hand and saw the loose silver inside, his hands trembled.

This amount of money is equivalent to what he earns in a year.

"You, you must have given me the wrong thing, Yan girl!"

“That’s right, this is for Xiaocao, five taels of silver!” Lin Yan nodded.

"Five taels?!" Li Xiaocao and Uncle Li exclaimed at the same time.

"Yes, it's only a small profit, it's only fair."

"Wow, selling dried fruit is so profitable!" Li Xiaocao exclaimed. Although she knew that Lin Yan would make a lot of money each time she sold it, she had no idea how much it was until she saw the money.

"At first, everyone thought it was novel, so we sold a lot, but then there probably wouldn't be as many. Besides, the season is over, so we won't be selling them anymore," Lin Yan explained.

"I actually made so much money, Ah Yan, you're amazing!" Li Xiaocao looked at Lin Yan with starry eyes, full of admiration.

Lin Yan smiled and asked again, "There's another job~ Do you want to do it?"

"Let's do it!" Li Xiaocao said confidently.

“We’re building a house and have hired a lot of workers. We need to prepare lunch for them. I’m going to the county with Uncle Li’s donkey cart to buy ingredients. Could you also ask two aunties to help me with the cooking?”

"You're building a house! That's wonderful! I knew that thatched hut was in terrible condition. What would we do if it rained!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!" Li Xiaocao patted her chest.

"Tell them they'll be paid! Twenty coins a day," Lin Yan instructed again.

"They'll still pay the wages, no problem at all, everyone'll be scrambling to do it. I need to find two good cooks!"

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you! Uncle Li and I are going to the county." Lin Yan said goodbye to Li Xiaocao.

Uncle Li had already tied up the donkey cart and was waiting outside.

Once Lin Yan got on the cart, the two of them set off.

Upon arriving in the county, Lin Yan first spent one tael of silver to buy half a pork carcass. The butcher was somewhat puzzled when he saw that she was buying so much: "Girl, how are you going to carry all this?"

"Don't worry! I can carry it!" Lin Yan smiled at the butcher.

Then, to the boss's astonishment, he picked up the half-portion of pork and walked away, drawing everyone's attention.

Lin Yan found a secluded spot and stored the meat in her spatial storage, thinking:

"Luckily there was space, otherwise, if I had taken it home, how many people would have stared at me?"

After setting the pork aside, I went to buy a few cleaned chickens.

Lin Yan thought that catching chickens on the mountain would be too time-consuming. Since she had money, she might as well spend it directly to save time and energy.

However, there's a river right next to my house, so catching fish is quite easy. That's three kinds of meat.

We also need staple food.

Lin Yan went to the grain store again and bought thirty catties of fine flour and twenty catties of refined rice.

Besides these, you also need oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and various seasonings; otherwise, the amount stored at home will definitely not be enough for so many people.

After Lin Yan bought the seasonings, she walked around the street and found a small tofu vendor.

How much is the tofu?

"One coin for one piece!" the vendor responded enthusiastically.

Lin Yan's eyes lit up, "Hmm... tofu is great! It can be pan-fried, stir-fried, deep-fried, boiled, or used in cold dishes. It's a really versatile dish!"

"I want all of these!"

"Okay, oh? You want them all?!" The vendor happily agreed when he heard the person want to buy, but when he heard her say she wanted them all, he thought he had misheard.

He asked uncertainly, "Miss, I have plenty more! Do you really want them?"

“Yes, there are a lot of people at home today, I’ll take them all!” Lin Yan nodded.

"Okay, sure!" The vendor's face crinkled with laughter, his joy evident as he packed up the package for Lin Yan.

"That's 59 yuan in total, but you can give me 55 coins!" The vendor saw that she was selling a lot and gave her a discount of a few coins.

Lin Yan counted out 55 coins from her purse and handed them to the vendor, then took the tofu.

After buying these items, Lin Yan had already spent more than two taels of silver.

Lin Yan thought that this would be enough to eat for a few days, so she turned around and headed back, not wanting to keep Uncle Li and the others waiting too long.

When Lin Yan arrived at the intersection, everyone was indeed waiting for her.

At that moment, a woman wearing a face mask was arguing with Uncle Li on the donkey cart. She looked somewhat familiar.

"Why should we wait for her alone! We need to go back now. You should leave!"

"She said she would be back before noon," Uncle Li argued with Lin Yan.

"Hey! Yan'er is here!" Uncle Li said quickly when he saw Lin Yan walking over.

Lin Yan quickly ran over and said, "Sorry, everyone, I had a lot of things with me, so I'm a little late."

Everyone looked at her, saw her apologetic expression and the basket of things she was carrying, and their anger subsided.

However, some people were even angrier.

"Lin Yan, it's you!!" A surprised and disgusted voice rang out.

Lin Yan looked up and recognized her as Lin He Rui, whom she hadn't seen for several days. Seeing the veil on her face, Lin Yan raised an eyebrow, her expression subtle.

Lin Herui was also looking at Lin Yan at this moment.

They originally planned to cause trouble for Lin Hai and his group, but when they woke up the next day, they were unbearably itchy and covered in rashes. Even after seeing the village doctor, their condition did not improve.

Her face was covered in red spots, and she had to wear a face mask whenever she went out. It was only thanks to Old Mrs. Lin that she was able to afford medicine in the county. Today, she came to the county to see a doctor and buy medicine.

Lin Herui never expected to run into Lin Yan here. Seeing that the girl who used to be bossed around at home now had fair skin, smooth black hair, and was wearing a light purple satin outer garment, looking like a young lady from a county town, Lin Herui was filled with jealousy and resentment.

"This eldest son must have made a lot of money to be so well-fed!"

Looking again at the basket Lin Yan was carrying, which was full of things, he wondered what they were. Thinking that they hadn't shared any of the money they earned with him, he felt even more resentful.

"Lin Yan! You actually bought so much stuff! What a spendthrift!" Lin He Rui couldn't wait to say something to Lin Yan.
