Gu Lili turned around and was surprised to find that it was an old acquaintance.
"Manager Wang, long time no see! Are you here to buy some maltose candy?" Gu Lili said casually, pulling away the hem of her clothes that was being held.
Gu Lili hadn't thought of Wang Fugui for a long time; if she hadn't bumped into him today, she would have almost forgotten he even existed.
I wonder what happened to his shop that was blown up by that stinky egg.
However, judging from Wang Fugui's condition, he probably hasn't recovered.
Gu Lili's trading system has an antidote for this stinky egg, but Gu Lili never thought of giving it to him!
I never even considered selling him.
Wang Fugui, who was heavily pregnant not long ago, has become so thin in just ten or twenty days that his eyes have sunken in. Clearly, he has been having a tough time lately.
Wang Fugui rubbed the hand that had just pulled Gu Lili's clothes with a sly smile, savoring the moment.
"Little girl, why haven't I seen you deliver candy to my shop in so long?" Wang Fugui said.
He was asking a question he already knew the answer to, because recently Wang Cong had been taking off Li Yuemei's clothes and asking for candy.
Under his detailed questioning, he learned that it was Gu Lili who instigated Wang Cong to strip Li Yuemei of her clothes in the street.
However, Wang Fugui did not tell Li Yuemei about this, and instead told his son not to tell Li Yuemei either.
Because of this incident, Wang Fugui felt that Gu Lili was smart, fearless in the face of danger, and cunning!
He admired this kind of person very much, and his desire to take Gu Lili as a concubine grew stronger and stronger.
Wang Fugui thought he was extremely intelligent, and if he and Gu Lili had a son or daughter, they would definitely be outstanding.
After giving birth to Wang Cong, Li Yuemei had no children of her own. Wang Cong was mentally challenged and could not possibly be her successor.
As Li Yuemei ages and loses her beauty, it's likely she will have difficulty conceiving again.
If Gu Lili doesn't agree to be a concubine, it's not impossible for Li Yuemei to be a concubine instead.
Gu Lili glanced at Wang Fugui's lewd face and subtly moved to the side.
Now that he was the head of the village, he naturally had no fear of Wang Fugui anymore.
Looking at Wang Fugui's lewd expression, Gu Lili couldn't help but wonder if he had some ulterior motives.
Gu Lili sneered, "If Manager Wang wants sugar, that's fine, but the price of sugar has gone up now, it's two taels of silver per catty. How many catties do you want?"
Wang Fugui probably thought he didn't know that the idiot from last time was his son.
If it weren't for the fear of Wang Fugui causing trouble on the street, Gu Lili wouldn't have wanted to talk to him any further.
"Give me a hundred jin! Send me the top bunk tomorrow!" Wang Fugui said with a sly smile.
snort!
Tomorrow I'll make sure Gu Lili never comes back!
The person is mine, and so are these 100 pounds of candy!
Gu Lili raised an eyebrow and smiled in agreement.
Although Gu Lili also saw through Wang Fugui's ulterior motives, who would pass up an opportunity to make money?
Seeing that Gu Lili had agreed, Wang Fugui turned around and went back.
I need to go back and plan carefully how to proceed tomorrow!
Gu Lili glanced at the smug Wang Fugui, then turned and walked towards Gu Erniu and the other person.
Unexpectedly, the two of them sold out an entire jar of syrup in just one afternoon.
"Sorry everyone, the sugar figurines are all sold out. Please come back for the next market!" Gu Erniu said with a smile to the onlookers.
Some children cried on the spot because they couldn't buy a sugar figurine.
The adults had no choice but to promise to buy it at the next market, which finally stopped the child's crying.
Hearing Gu Erniu say that the candy was sold out, the surrounding crowd gradually dispersed.
"Second Uncle, Erniu, you two are really amazing!" Gu Lili walked over and gave the two of them a thumbs up without hesitation.
She had originally planned to finish early so she could come and help.
Li Ershu said with a smile, "Hehe, it's all thanks to Erniu for coming up with the idea of making a wish that we were able to slowly attract people over!"
Last time Gu Erniu came to sell candy with Gu Lili, Gu Lili let people taste it first before buying it.
Some people are okay with it, they only taste a small piece, while others take a big piece at a time.
However, I bought almost everything I tried.
He thought that everyone has this tendency to like taking advantage of others.
In addition, the spinning wheel always produces a different result each time, which is why Gu Erniu came up with this method.
At first, Li Ershu was absolutely against it, but after Gu Erniu explained it to him, he reluctantly agreed with Gu Erniu.
Seeing more and more people, Li Ershu finally completely believed Gu Erniu.
"Oh my, Erniu, you've improved! Looks like I'll have to reward you properly today!" Gu Lili said to Gu Erniu with a smile.
Gu Erniu straightened his back instantly after being praised by Gu Lili.
He laughed proudly, "It's all thanks to my sister's excellent teaching that I've made such progress!"
After Gu Erniu finished speaking, all three of them laughed.
Once the sugar is sold out, it's time to close up shop.
The three of them worked together to put everything into the basket. Gu Lili helped Li Ershu count the money. They had earned 405 coins today. After deducting the cost, they still made about 300 coins.
After counting the money, Gu Lili instructed Li Ershu to put it away properly, and then the group went to eat.
The three of them went to a noodle stall and ordered three bowls of noodles. Gu Lili also asked the vendor to add an egg to each of their bowls.
I earned over two thousand taels of silver today, so I'll treat myself to an egg.
A bowl of plain noodles costs two coins, and an egg costs four coins.
Li Ershu was initially reluctant to add eggs, but then he thought that he had earned more than four hundred coins today, so he decided to add them!
Wow, I wonder when I'll be able to afford to eat at Wanxianglou Restaurant!
"You're dreaming! A meal at Wanxianglou costs at least one tael of silver! Hurry up and eat your noodles!"
The conversation between the two men next to them reached the ears of the three of them, and Gu Lili also looked up at Wanxianglou across from the noodle stall.
The three large characters "Wanxianglou" on the plaque were written in a vigorous and elegant style, and the waiter at the door was enthusiastically greeting the three people who had just entered.
The fact that all three men were dressed in fine clothes indicates that they were either rich or noble.
This also indirectly shows that the dishes at Wanxianglou are expensive, and only the wealthy can afford them.
Gu Lili glanced at Gu Erniu again, and had already made up her mind.
Gu Erniu is too old to study and take the imperial examinations, and it seems he prefers doing business.
Why not take over a restaurant for him?
It just so happens that Zhang Dahua enjoys cooking, and Gu Erniu is also quite shrewd in business.
With that in mind, Gu Lili finished her meal and decided to ask her family for advice.
After eating the noodles, Li Ershu insisted on paying for them.
Gu Lili knew that Li Ershu wanted to thank them, so she didn't refuse and let Li Ershu give her the money.
After dinner, Gu Lili visited several restaurants, but she wasn't very satisfied with any of them.
