Transmigration with QQ Farm Chapter 26

ch26.1 – Discovered

All the villagers stayed for dinner after they have visited Cheng Biyuan. Cheng Xiao Xiao took the opportunity to treat them to their white radishes, bok choy, chickens, and rabbits.The dinner table was filled with food. The Cheng’s generosity pleased everybody there. They now truly view the Cheng’s as part of the village. A few men there further slapped their chest and promised that they would even help the Cheng’s plough their fields in a few days and hoped that they will have a good harvest as well.

This was definitely a good investment. At the same time, the villagers had accepted the change with the Cheng’s family. Even though they didn’t know where all the food came from, nobody really seemed to care to find out.
Before Patriarch Liu took off, Cheng Xiao Xiao asked to borrow the ox-drawn wagon and Liu accepted right away. In any case, they were only borrowing for half a day, it was not an inconvenience for them.
After seeing the villagers off, Mrs. Cheng sighed and asked her daughter, “Xiao Xiao, should we postpone our trip to the marketplace?”
“Mom, don’t worry. We have lots of inventory, we can get tens of tael of silver!” She knew what her mother was worried about.
Mrs. Cheng didn’t disagree with her, she just said lightly, “Okay!”
That night, Cheng Xiao Xiao had Yuteng cloned the rest of the rice fields. Since she hadn’t been collecting any new specimens, the dimension hadn’t been leveling up. But the items from the current level weren’t shabby. Just as Yuteng had said, the higher level the dimension was, the more difficult it was to level up. It would be quite difficult to level up without some special and valuable items.
At the same time, after Yuteng’s explanation, Cheng Xiao Xiao understood that the mythical animals and produces from the dimension were of much higher quality than those from the outside world. They were beneficial to one’s health. If you consume them on a regular basis, they would even improve one’s health and extend one’s life. If the family weren’t so poor, she’d never sell any of them. Once the dimension hit level 50, she would start using the gold from the dimension and wouldn’t have to worry about money again.
After they have borrowed the wagon, Cheng Xiao Xiao got out 30 chickens, 50 rabbits, 20 fish, and 150 jin rice from the dimension to take the marketplace.
All the little ones climbed into the wagon and the five of them headed to town again. Just as they were arriving at the marketplace, Mrs. Cheng asked her oldest daughter, “Xiao Xiao, should we go look for the innkeeper again?”
“Yes, let’s go look for the innkeeper. We have too much goods. I don’t think we will e able to sell them all in the marketplace. Let’s go see how much the innkeeper will buy!” Cheng Xiao Xiao felt that it would be better to sell everyone all at once. That way they wouldn’t attract too much attention and wouldn’t be time-consuming.
Once the mother and daughter had agreed on the course of action, they rode the wagon to the front of the inn. Cheng Xiao Xiao hopped out of the wagon and walked straight inside the inn.
Right after she appeared, the server who was about to greet her stopped in his steps. His smile slowly melted away; she could tell Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t a customer and didn’t want to bother greeting her.
Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled nonchalantly and didn’t engage him. The innkeeper, who was focused on the accounting books, seemed to have noticed something unusual and stopped what he was doing. He looked up and saw the girl walking toward him. He paused for a bit and quickly remembered the girl in front of him. A delighted look appeared on his face, he walked up to her and asked, “Miss, you come to sell food again?”
“How you are doing, Mr. Innkeeper? Yes, I came to see if you are still interested in buying my food!” Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled.
“Yes, yes, of course!” The innkeeper nodded violently. He hadn’t forgotten the order from the young nobleman, that he was to buy everything she has for sale and send them to him.ch 26.2 – DiscoveredCheng Xiao Xiao was delighted. She bowed and said, “Perfect. Mr. Innkeeper, please follow me to check out our food!”

“Yes, yes, I will follow you!”
The ecstatic innkeeper followed her outside of the inn, leaving the server dumbfounded at his reaction. He didn’t follow them out, but went inside to check on the kitchen.

The innkeeper happily greeted Mrs. Cheng and the three young ones outside of the inn before he went to examine the fowls and the rice. Once he realized all the food was of the same quality as last time, he felt euphoric. Last time he went these mythical food to his master’s house, he was not only praised by his master but also received a handsome bonus.
“Innkeeper, you want to buy them all this time as well?” Mrs. Cheng couldn’t help but to ask after seeing the smiley innkeeper.
“Yes, yes, all of them. Mrs. Cheng, from now on, no matter how much goods you have, just bring them to me. We will give you great prices for them. We wouldn’t try to cheat you.”
Neither Mrs. Cheng nor Cheng Xiao Xiao was happy from the innkeeper’s response. Instead, they were alarmed. The two of them immediately understood that the innkeeper had already figured out the true worth of their goods.
Cheng Xiao Xiao’s color changed, then she said solemnly, “Mr. Innkeeper, if you want our good, we can continue to sell to you. But we will have to ask that you don’t tell any one nor ask us where our goods come from. Nor should you look for us or follow us. Otherwise, we will not show up again or sell any goods to you!”
“This—” The innkeeper didn’t expect that from Cheng Xiao Xiao, he was just about to ask her those questions.
It would be problematic for him if they really didn’t show up again. He frowned and pondered for a little bit, but nodded in consent for the time being.
He didn’t say much, but called to the server to come and take all the goods inside. He then paid them 100 taels of silver.
This was kind of expected and unexpected at the same time. Neither Mrs. Cheng nor Cheng Xiao Xaio declined the offer. They could fetch 1000 taels of silver if they were truly calculating the worth of these mythical creatures. 100 taels was nothing. Comparing to the two previous time, this was a handsome amount.
After bidding farewell to the innkeeper, the five of them headed toward the marketplace to shop for daily necessities. Once they have purchased all that they need, they headed toward the clinic to look for the doctor.
Naturally the negotiation was much easier when one has plenty of money. The doctor also brought with him a few precious and effective herbs. The lot of them left town and headed toward Willow Village.
Right at this moment, a middle age man that was just returning to the city passed them on his way in. He looked surprised.
The woman and her maiden. Weren’t those the ones that his master was seeking? It looked as thought they have been frequenting the town. He couldn’t understand why his master had a hard time searching for them.
Watching the oz-drawn wagon and the lot disappeared out of his sight, the middle-aged man rode his horse into town. What a coincident that while the master rushed for his return, he would ran into the purpose of his trip.
The middle-aged man arrived at the House of Ning shortly. After the master had been notified, he was led into Old Master Ning’s study.
The master and servant exchanged conversation for a bit before Old Master Ning sighed, “Ko Yang, the mythical beasts you bought last time from the market place was some good stuff. Too bad we weren’t able to find the mother and daughter again. I guess god was just not on our side!”
“Master, Ko Yang was just about to report to you, I ran into the mother and daughter at the town entrance!”
“Really?”

Random translator’s note:
1. Um… if he knew his master was looking for them. Why didn’t he follow them instead of watching them disappear?
