Chapter 12 Making Money

Gu Huayu took out the maza from the basket and said, "Second aunt, please sit down and have a rest."

Ms. Fang stood on the side, panting heavily, wiping sweat with a handkerchief and saying, "It's okay. You sit down, I'll stand for a while."

Gu Huayu asked Fang to sit down, "Second aunt, sit down. I want to go for a walk and come back later."

Fang looked at the crowded street and said worriedly: "There are many people on the street, Xiaoyu, please wait.

 When the beans are sold out, I will take you shopping. "

Gu Huayu wanted to walk around alone and see what she could get out of the space in exchange for some money. So she smiled apologetically and said to please: "I'll just walk around nearby. Don't worry, Second Auntie, there are only two streets in the town, I won't get lost."

Mrs. Fang looked around worriedly, "You kid, don't be ridiculous. It's your first time to go out. If something happens, how do you ask me to explain to Xiaofeng when I go back? You wait here until I sell the beans. I’ll take you shopping again.”

Seeing that Mrs. Fang was not letting go, Gu Huayu stepped back and said with a playful smile, "Second uncle, if I don't go far, I will just hang around."

Seeing that Gu Huayu was about to run away, Mrs. Fang warned loudly: "Xiaoyu, you girl, don't mess around."

Gu Huayu smiled playfully and raised her hands and said, "Don't worry, Second Auntie, I'll be back in a minute."

Fang looked at Gu Huayu who was squeezing into the crowd, and said helplessly: "You... are a scumbag, you don't worry at all. If I had known, I wouldn't have let you follow."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. You can't lose such a big baby. My kid will disappear when he goes to the street. If the kid likes to watch the excitement, just let her be." The woman selling corn next to her comforted her.

 Fang sat back and started chatting with him.

Sanhe Town is formed by the intersection of east-west and north-south streets. With the intersection of the cross streets as the center, it gradually radiates outwards, forming a town where thousands of people live together.

Every market day, people from all over the surrounding areas gather here, which is quite lively.

Gu Huayu wandered along the north-south streets, looking at the shops on both sides, thinking about what to buy from the space to sell?

After browsing the two streets, Gu Huayu had no idea what to sell. He sighed secretly, Sanhe Town is too small and its spending power is extremely limited.

 The things in her space are too delicate and too eye-catching.

 Gu Huayu thought for a long time, finally took out a century-old ginseng root from the space, turned around and went back to find Fang.

When Gu Huayu returned, Fang was weighing her feet and looking around. When she saw her coming back, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Gu Huayu said with a playful smile: "Second aunt, I'm back."

He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man, and swallowed back the reproachful words when they reached his lips. He nodded and said: "Just come back. If you are tired, sit down and take a rest."

Gu Huayu saw that Fang's face was not kind, she lowered her head and saw that the basket on her back was empty, she immediately let out a rainbow fart and complimented: "Are the beans sold out? Ernie is so awesome! She sold out all the beans with such skill, no wonder Aniang said that Ernie is doing business. A good hand.”

Mrs. Fang's expression softened and she said, "You have to go early to go to the market. If you come by car, you won't be tired, and you can still sell the beans at a good price. This time, each catty of beans sold for two cents more than last time." Mrs. Fang was a little proud. He lowered his body and whispered the last words to Gu Huayu.

Gu Huayu raised her head and looked at Fang, and saw Fang raising her eyebrows at her, her brows and eyes filled with joy.

Gu Huayu’s eyes were full of admiration, she gave Fang a thumbs up and said, "Second aunt is amazing!"

 Fang received Gu Huayu's praise, and the smile on his face became even brighter. He bent down and put the little tuna into his backpack, and said, "Let's go to the drug store to get some medicine for your grandma."

Gu Huayu leaned forward, took Fang's hand, and said softly: "Second aunt, wait a minute."

Fang turned her head and looked at Gu Huayu, wondering: "What's wrong? Do you still want to go shopping? Ernie will accompany you."

 Gu Huayu shook her head, leaned her head in front of Fang, and whispered: "Second aunt, years ago, I picked a ginseng root at Eagle Cliff."

Fang Shi looked at Gu Huayu in disbelief, and then asked after a long while: "Really?"

Gu Huayu nodded seriously, "Yeah, really! I want to sell this ginseng to get some money. What does Ernie think?"

As he spoke, Gu Huayu took out the ginseng from his sleeve pocket.

Fang hurriedly stuffed the ginseng into Hua Yu’s sleeves, looked left and right, and said in a very low voice: “Xiao Yu, don’t show off your wealth. Do you understand?”

Seeing Fang's cautious look, Gu Huayu nodded quickly and said, "I understand, I understand. Thank you, Ernie, for the pointer."

Fang took Gu Huayu's hand and walked to the side, to a place with fewer people. He lowered his voice and said, "Let's go to Ji'antang. Anyway, we have to go there to get medicine for your grandma.

The shopkeeper of Ji'antang, Dr. Hu, is good friends with the third brother. Over the years, shopkeeper Hu has helped our family a lot. Let's see if he accepts it? If he refuses to accept it, we ask him to help us control our eyes. He will not lie to us. "

When Mrs. Fang said this, she turned her head to look at Gu Huayu and asked, "Do Third Brother and Xiaofeng know about such a big matter?"

Gu Huayu stuck out her tongue and shook her head, "I don't know yet. I wasn't sure at first. I came here today just to confirm. Just now, I found a pharmacy to make sure..." Gu Huayu looked at Fang's expression as she spoke. The voice became lower and lower.

Fang Shi understood. Seeing that Gu Huayu was so frightened that she was almost silent, she said with relief: "Okay, let's go, let's go to Ji'antang to see the shopkeeper Hu."

 Gu Huayu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had been fooled, and followed Fang to Ji'antang.

When the two of them arrived at Ji'an Hall, the waiter recognized Fang at a glance and greeted her with a smile: "Auntie is here, please come in."

Fang smiled and thanked him, and asked, "Is Doctor Hu here?" After saying that, he put the basket outside the door of Ji'an Hall.

The waiter smiled and replied: "Go back to Auntie, the shopkeeper is here." After saying that, the waiter raised his voice and said: "Doctor Hu, Aunt Fang from Shangtai Village is here."

Shopkeeper Hu heard the sound and walked out from behind the counter. He bowed his hands to Mr. Fang and said, "The second brother and sister are here. Please come in. Is this Xiaoyu from the Dechang family?"

Shopkeeper Hu and Gu Dechang are close friends, but they are two years older than Gu Defang.

Fang returned the favor and said, "It's my third brother's Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu, come here to see Dr. Hu."

Gu Huayu stepped forward to greet him and said, "Hello, Doctor Hu!"

Shopkeeper Hu said with a smile: "I haven't seen Xiaoyu in a few years. He has grown taller and I almost didn't recognize him. Don't call me Doctor Hu. You should call me Uncle Hu. Your father and I are very close friends."

Gu Huayu called out in a kind-hearted voice: "Hello, Uncle Hu."

Shopkeeper Hu smiled heartily and said: "That's right, come on, come on, you two, Qing'an, make tea and some snacks."

 The waiter who called Qing'an responded repeatedly.

After a while, Qing'an came over with freshly brewed tea, then a plate of mung bean cake and a plate of melon seeds.

Shopkeeper Hu pushed the melon seeds and mung bean cake in front of Gu Huayu and said softly: "Second brother and sister, Xiaoyu, you can try it. My wife made it myself."
