Chapter 265: Chapter 265

These people walked up to her and placed the wild vegetables on the table.

Pei Shu’er said, "I can only take another bundle; two bundles are enough for my family to eat."

The other men wanted to hand their wild vegetables to Pei Shu’er, but obviously, they couldn’t compete with the strongest man.

The man looked at the pastries and swallowed hard.

"Can you give me a portion of each of these pastries, as long as it’s the same size as that piece of egg cake?"

Pei Shu’er nodded. This was an opportunity to promote her goods, and she was naturally not stingy.

When she divided the pastries and handed them to this man, he quickly took them.

The other exiled people happily crowded around him. The man also shared a bit with the others, but the portions were limited, just enough to have a taste.

As soon as everyone tasted them, they couldn’t stop; they were too delicious.

All three types of pastries were delicious, with each one offering a very unique flavor.

Seeing these people leaving again, Pei Shu’er was worried they would look for other wild vegetables, so she spoke up.

"You can also see if there are any novel wild fruits nearby, or you can catch some fish to trade with others as well."

"If you find any strange stones or crops, you can also bring them for me to see. As long as they pass inspection, they can be exchanged as well."

Everyone was inspired by Pei Shu’er and then she saw them holding all sorts of strange stones in their hands. However, though they were oddly shaped, they were essentially simple stones with no mineral value.

Fortunately, there were still some appealing items, like a few fish...

The current problem was that people wanted Pei Shu’er’s goods, but they didn’t have enough to trade.

Or rather, they did have enough, but felt the pastries weren’t worth it.

It wasn’t until she was about to close the stall that Pei Shu’er finally saw a man carrying a plump rabbit approaching, trading it for two pieces of pastry from Pei Shu’er.

After all, a rabbit might make a great meal, but it isn’t very filling.

However, the pastries Pei Shu’er made were very filling.

The man ate some and felt full, planning to save the rest to eat later.

As for the others, they gradually traded for some items as well.

The first two days, there weren’t many people.

Not until the third day did Pei Shu’er discover twenty people she had never seen before. They wore tattered clothes, and their skin was tanned to a bronze color.

Their physique was between the Dazi and Dayan people, though there were some with Dazi build but Han features.

These people stopped in front of Pei Shu’er and placed their items before her.

Among them were furs, already tanned, and some clay pots containing rare medicinal herbs.

They were drawn to the neat setup of the stall.

Upon seeing the pastries, along with the aromatic dried tofu, they couldn’t look away.

Pei Shu’er smiled at them and picked up a small plate with a small skewer with little pieces of pastry, just enough for a taste.

This idea only occurred to Pei Shu’er today.

Everyone took a bite and didn’t want to leave. A few children saw the adults wouldn’t buy and lay on the ground throwing tantrums, unwilling to go.

Pei Shu’er said, "If you want them, give me your piece of fur, and all these pastries are yours."

The people were pleased as the fur wasn’t edible in their eyes.

So they made the exchange with Pei Shu’er without hesitation.

Pei Shu’er understood that these were the native inhabitants and, through trade, she finally established contact with them.

A smile appeared on her lips.

By the third day, the number of people who came to trade suddenly increased, including some from the military camp.

These people, once away from home, would carry some money, and with nowhere to spend it in such a remote place as the Gulan Military Camp, it naturally accumulated.

As for those native inhabitants, after enjoying the benefits from yesterday, they returned bringing precious herbs, and Pei Shu’er even found a wild ginseng plant.

She didn’t know whether these people could recognize its value, but they walked straight to her and pointed to all her goods.

"This, for all your things."

Pei Shu’er nodded, feeling she had gotten the better deal.

Wild ginseng of such quality is rare, even in modern times.

This wild ginseng, roots intact and unbroken, was even flowering. If she cultivated it in her space, she could harvest seeds and plant as many as she wanted next year.

She placed the wild ginseng into her basket, actually storing it in her space, which could preserve freshness.

It wasn’t until she was somewhere secluded that Pei Shu’er entered her space, planted the wild ginseng, and felt a bit happy.

On the second day, Pei Shu’er set up her stall again, but Tang Zan was summoned back to the camp before his leave was up, as he had left too much of an impression when he left the camp. Latest content publıshed on 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍

Moreover, the military camp really needed someone as daring as him lately, as the Dazi had become restless again, constantly testing the waters, and many soldiers had been secretly killed by them.

Just as she set up her stall, Pei Shu’er caught the faint scent of sandalwood. A man squatted in front of her, his slender white hands pinching a piece of Cloud Cake.

His voice was clear and pleasant.

"I didn’t expect you to remember that I love Cloud Cake."

Pei Shu’er was reading when she heard the man’s words and couldn’t help but look up.

The man before her was very handsome, exuding a noble aura.

Seeing him give her a very faint and distant smile, though his eyes indicated he recognized her.

However, she didn’t recognize him at all.

Yan Hengyin saw Pei Shu’er staring at him blankly and couldn’t help but smile.

It seemed that in the past year, he still held an important place in her heart. Just seeing him, she couldn’t look away.

His lips curved slightly as he picked up a piece of Cloud Cake with his hand, took a bite, soft and tasty.

Pei Shu’er frowned, "Sorry, sir, you have to trade before you can eat."

Yan Hengyin was taken aback. He thought Pei Shu’er knew he was coming to the Gulan Military Camp today and had come here specifically to wait for him.

Because she was shy, she had set up this little market.

But why did she look at him so unfamiliar?

The smile on his face faded, but he remained very handsome, with an air of authority without anger.

"Pei Shu’er, do you have to be so petty with me?"

Pei Shu’er looked at the man in confusion, wondering what he was saying or trying to do, wondering where this presumption came from.
