The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 130 Is it affordable?

Shopkeeper Huang saw Gu Huayu laughing and asked curiously: "Who is Hu San?"

Qingzhu explained the matter in a few words, shopkeeper Huang said with a smile: "This is very difficult for Qingzhu, girl, you don't know, we, Huang Ji, are the most honorable ones, Qingzhu wants to be second, no one dares to say first. Oops, I’m looking forward to going shopping tomorrow.”

Qingzhu looked at Huang Xiao and said, "Boss, please show some mercy, okay?"

Huang Xiao asked with a smile but not a smile: "A grown man, you speak so loudly, how can you still regret it?"

Qingzhu said hurriedly: "Who wants to regret it?"

"If you don't regret it, why do you want me to ask for it?" Huang Xiao glanced at Qingzhu.

Qingzhu lowered his head in resignation.

 Fugui smiled and asked: "Shopkeeper, how do you arrange this Hu San?"

Shopkeeper Huang said: "Bring the people up."

After Fugui retreated, Gu Huayu said sternly: "Hu San will be here soon, but we can't let him know about our bet."

Qingzhu asked hurriedly: "Then the bet is over?"

"You have a good idea! It is a virtue to be willing to admit defeat." Shopkeeper Huang took over the words. "If anyone asks, just say you didn't complete the task and were punished."

Qingzhu lowered his head and said nothing.

Fugui brought Hu San in.

Gu Huayu saw a man in his thirties following Hu San. He looked somewhat similar to Hu San. He was probably Hu Da.

When Hu San saw Gu Huayu, he stepped forward and bowed in greeting: "Hello, Miss Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu is back. This is Xiaoyu's brother, Hu Da."

After the ceremony, Hu Sanxiang and Gu Huayu introduced Hu Da.

Hu Da stepped forward and bowed to Gu Huayu, and then bowed to several people present.

Gu Huayu nodded towards the two of them and said, "Please sit down and serve tea."

After the two of them sat down, Fugui came over to serve tea and stepped aside.

Hu Da looked at Gu Huayu and said, "My younger brother came home and said that the girl saved him today, gave him something to do, and gave him money."

With that said, Hu Da took out the money bag from his arms, stood up and presented it to Gu Huayu.

Gu Huayu didn’t pick it up, so Shopkeeper Huang reached out to take it and put it on the table next to him.

Hu Da went on to say: "I'm coming here today, firstly to return the girl's money, and secondly to see if what I said is true."

Shopkeeper Huang looked at Hu Da and asked, "Why don't you trust your brother? Furthermore, why don't you collect the cash? Is it too little?"

Hu Dahu replied quickly: "Master, please calm down, I am not too young."

No one introduced him, so Hu Da automatically took Shopkeeper Huang to be Gu Huayu's father.

"To be honest, my parents passed away early. After my mother passed away, my brother wandered around. I was worried that he would be with the wrong person or do the wrong thing.

He suddenly came back with so much money today, so I was worried that it was ill-gotten gains. "

Hu Da then explained.

Shopkeeper Huang continued: "Now that I know that Hu Sanwei lied, why do you still want to return the money?"

Hu Da bowed and said sincerely: "Come back to me, sir, the girl is kind and can do something for the younger brother. The younger brother is already grateful, how can he accept any more money from the girl?"

Shopkeeper Huang had nothing to say. He looked at Gu Huayu and said, "Girl, what do you think?"

Gu Huayu liked such a simple family very much and said, "Please accept the money. In this way, Hu San will feel more at ease when working here."

 “This…” Hu Da looked at Gu Huayu.

Shopkeeper Huang took the words and said, "If the girl asks you to accept it, just accept it. You can rest assured that Hu San is working here. As long as he is obedient, we will not treat him badly."

Hu Da bowed deeply to Gu Huayu, "Thank you very much, girl."

Shopkeeper Huang handed the money bag to Hu Da, "I heard that your family lives in Xiazhuang. It's getting late now, so stay here tonight and go back tomorrow morning. Take them down so they can settle down."

 Shopkeeper Huang turned around and told Fugui.

The wealthy man bowed to the two of them and said, "Please follow me."

After Hu Da and Hu San retreated, Qingzhu leaned towards Gu Huayu and said, "Young lady has a really good eye for people."

Gu Huayu smiled, she was just wrong. Said: "Remember to go shopping tomorrow."

Qingzhu nodded resignedly, "The girl has the final say."

Gu Huayu said: "Okay, tomorrow at dawn, we will start from Huangji and go north along Yongsheng Road..."

Qingzhu planned to set off in Yinchu. It was still dark at that time and the county town was not big. It only took half an hour to walk around.

"Chen Zheng is leaving? Is it too late?" Qingzhu protested.

"It's not too late, it's just right. It's going to be lively at that time." Shopkeeper Huang took over.

Qingzhu dared not speak out in anger, but resignedly watched Gu Huayu discuss the route with Shopkeeper Huang.

Su Min looked at Qingzhu sympathetically, leaned over and comforted him: "Don't worry, since your face is blackened, no one will recognize you."

Qingzhu’s eyes lit up, “Yes.”

Su Min nodded towards him, and Qingzhu hugged his fists gratefully.

The next day, Qingzhu was put on makeup by Gu Huayu and walked around along the street, attracting many children to follow behind and watch the fun. From then on, Qingzhu became known as the "black pot".

Ten days later, Gu Huayu and Shopkeeper Huang set off for Hongdu Mansion, accompanied by Gu Chenglin, Qingzhu, Wang Qin and a dozen other clerks.

 The two ships went north along the river, stopping at larger market towns along the way.

Gu Huayu brought potato starch to a restaurant to sell it. At first, Gu Huayu made it alone, and later the others followed suit.

The boat docked, and several people took potato starch to the restaurant to sell it. When we approached Hongcheng, only a quarter of the goods we carried were left.

Gu Chenglin was very excited and kept saying that he had insufficient goods.

Gu Huayu comforted her and said, "Third brother, don't worry. We are just here to clear the way for this trip. We can just come back next time and deliver the goods directly."

Gu Chenglin nodded repeatedly, "Xiaoyu is right, let's bring more out next time."

“On our way back, we’ll stay with each potato starch shop and pay a visit to see how their sales are going, and ask them to place an order. We’ll deliver it to them later.”

Gu Huayu said.

Gu Chenglin repeatedly said yes.

Shopkeeper Huang was filled with admiration, "She is really a master of business."

Gu Huayu smiled and said: "This has just begun, and it is far from the word 'master'."

“Cheng Lin, come on, I caught a big fish!” Qingzhu shouted from the bow of the boat.

Gu Chenglin raised his voice and responded: "Here we come! Xiaoyu, let's go and have a look together."

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "Third brother, go ahead. I have something to discuss with Uncle Huang."

"Then I'll go." Gu Chenglin bowed, turned around and walked out of the cabin.

Gu Huayu looked at the scenery along the coast and asked, "How long will it take to get there?"

Shopkeeper Huang looked out the window, then retracted his head and said, "Girl, we'll be here in half an hour. I'll let Qingzhu take the people to clean up the yard first, okay?"

Gu Huayu asked: "Your house in Hongcheng?"

Shopkeeper Huang leaned forward and said: "Yes, I put it down in the early years. It has been idle these years. Qing Yu is in Hongcheng and occasionally goes to take a look."

Gu Huayu thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, we'll be here soon. Let's find an inn to stay in. Let everyone rest first, and then go and clean up. You can also take the opportunity to inquire and see what's going on in Hongcheng. There’s no harm in being cautious about the situation around you!”

Shopkeeper Huang immediately understood what Gu Huayu meant and bowed in response, "Okay, I understand."

A group of people arrived in Hongcheng. Shopkeeper Huang took everyone to stay at the Jinyi Inn on Jewelry Street.

Shopkeeper Huang said: "Everyone has worked hard these days. Let's take a rest today and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

 Gu Chenglin came to Hongcheng for the first time. Everywhere he looked was novel. He just hated that his eyes were not enough. How could he be willing to waste time in an inn?

So he shook his head and said: "You guys rest, I'm not tired, I'll go out and take a look."

Wang Qin said with a smile: "I'll come with you too. Just in time, I'm going to Xima Village to meet an old friend."

Gu Huayu saw Gu Chenglin and Wang Qin together and let him go out with confidence.

After the two of them left, shopkeeper Huang turned around and asked, "What are your plans, girl? Should you go out for a walk or rest in the inn?"

Gu Huayu wanted to enter the space to chat with Atong, so she said, "I don't want to go anywhere, so I'll just rest in the inn."

Shopkeeper Huang nodded, "Have a rest, girl. I'll go with Qingzhu to the house on Jinpan Road to have a look."

"Okay, you go and do your work and don't worry about me." Gu Huayu said.

After Shopkeeper Huang and Qingzhu left, Gu Huayu returned to her room and took a look into the space. Neither A Tong nor Qin Feng were there.

Gu Huayu left a message for the two of them and came out of the space.

 Being bored, Gu Huayu regretted staying, so she decided to walk around nearby.

When Gu Huayu went downstairs, she heard the waiter introducing a customer. "Exit our store and walk east until you reach the Drum Tower. This street is the most prosperous and lively street in Hongcheng.

There are so many beautiful, interesting and delicious things along the way that you can go and see them. "

 Gu Huayu's heart moved, and she walked eastward after leaving the inn. Along the way, she encountered a stall of a noodle maker, and Gu Huayu stopped unconsciously.

"Little girl, what kind of noodle maker do you like?" The stall owner asked when he saw Gu Huayu staring at the noodle maker.

Gu Huayu smiled at the old man, took down a Monkey King from the shelf, and asked, "Old man, how do you sell this?"

“Five cents each,” the stall owner replied with a smile.

 Gu Huayu paid the money and rubbed the bamboo stick on which the Monkey King was inserted with her thumb and index finger, so the Monkey King spun around Gu Huayu quickly.

 Gu Huayu was having a good time, "Hey! This guy did a good job! I want it." The "Monkey King" in his hand was taken away.

 Gu Huayu looked up and saw a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old playing with the Monkey King that he had snatched from her hand.

The little kid looked like he was taking it for granted, and there was no trace of logic on his face.

Gu Huayu saw that the kid's series of movements were natural and smooth. It seemed that he often did this kind of powerful and robbing things.

Gu Huayu clasped her hands in front of her chest and looked up and down at this little kid who was wearing a light blue brocade gown, a mutton-fat jade belt tied around his waist, and his hair tied with a white jade hairpin.

The little kid looked at Gu Huayu as if it was nothing, looked at the "Monkey King" in his hand, nodded slightly and said: "After shopping for a long time, this thing is pretty good."

Gu Huayu raised her hand to take back the "Monkey King" from the little kid's hand, held it in her hand and raised it towards the young man, saying, "This is the one I took a fancy to first."

"You..." The little kid is in the voice-changing stage, and his voice is like a duck's croaking.

The little kid stretched out his hand to take the Monkey King back.

Gu Huayu retracted her hand, avoiding the kid's hand, and said: "What are you doing? People have to follow the rules, first come, first served, do you understand?"

"Where did you come from, wild girl? If you dare to **** something from our master, you will die!" The boy who came behind the little kid shouted at Gu Huayu.

Gu Huayu took two steps back, still rubbing the "Monkey King" bamboo stick with her hand and twisting it, wrinkled her nose, pursed her lips, and said to the little kid in disgust: "Is this your person? So rude, and... You really follow the Lord.”

The young man stepped forward and said to Gu Huayu fiercely: "You are seeking death! Why don't you return the things to my young master?"

Gu Huayu ignored the boy, looked at the little kid and asked, "What if I don't give it?"

The boy raised his fist and said, "You deserve a beating!"

 “Take it back for me,” the little kid ordered.

 “Don’t be unreasonable.” A gentle voice sounded at the same time.

The boy put down his raised hand, turned around and bowed: "Master!"

Gu Huayu raised her head and looked over, and saw that the person who came was sixteen or seventeen years old. His white clothes were whiter than snow, and his attitude was casual.

The young man in white said expressionlessly: "Step back!" The servant bowed and stepped aside.

The little kid fearfully raised his hands to the young man and said, "Brother!"

“Li Tao, are you acting up again?” the young man asked in a deep voice.

"No...no, I just saw that the Monkey King did a good job." Li Tao glanced at his brother and pointed at the face man in Gu Huayu's hand.

"So, you grabbed it from someone else's hand without being polite? Huh?" the young man took over.

Li Tao lowered his head and looked at his toes and stopped answering.

The young man looked at his younger brother, shook his head slightly, and whispered: "I'll take care of you when I get back."

After saying that, the young man turned around and bowed to Gu Huayu, saying, "Li Cheng, my brother-in-law offended the girl just now. I would like to apologize to the girl here and hope that the girl will forgive me."

 Gu Huayu looked at Li Cheng and then at Li Tao. They were 70 to 80% similar in appearance. They had the same red lips and white teeth, the same tall nose, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. One was as gentle as jade, while the other was rampant and irrational.

Gu Huayu looked at Li Tao and was about to say it was okay.

"Siwen likes this doughboy? It's rare for Siwen to like the same thing. Cousin, don't scold him. Little sister, you sold the doughboy in your hand to me." The visitor couldn't help but reach out to take Gu Huayu's hand. The Monkey King in hand.

Gu Huayu was very angry. Who are these people? Taking a fancy to the face in her hand, he stepped forward to grab it without asking her if she was willing.

Gu Huayu took a step to the side to avoid the paw that was stretched out in front of her.

“Hey, you little girl, I told you that I bought the noodle in your hand, but didn’t you hear?” The person who came reached out and grabbed the empty space and said angrily.

Gu Huayu rubbed the bamboo stick of the noodle maker, looked at the visitor with a half-smile, and said slowly: "I heard what you said. However, I haven't made an offer yet, so how do you know whether you can afford it?" "

"Hey! You little girl is quite interesting! Then why don't you set a price? How much does a guy like you cost? I want to see what else I, Song Chongyou, can't afford in Hongcheng? "

Song Chongyou shook the folding fan in his hand with a bang, and glanced at Gu Huayu while shaking the folding fan, with a bit of contempt in his eyes.

"Zhiyan, don't embarrass a little girl. Today's matter is to think about the mistake first." Li Cheng stopped him.
