Gu Sang's face was full of confidence.
Although Gu Sang doesn't have much real power at home now, her little shop is doing quite well. Moreover, she also has a small warehouse.
That warehouse was Gu Sang's secret weapon.
The medicinal herbs that Gu Sang picked up from the mountain back then have now been successfully cultivated by Gu Sang.
During this time, Gu Sang also gradually researched how to cultivate these medicinal herbs to make them even more precious.
Gu Sang still has quite a few vegetables in her inventory.
Although those things are precious, we can't just throw them in indiscriminately; we also need to use a little of the essence appropriately.
These days, Gu Sang has been trying to figure out how to cultivate those precious dishes and make them more valuable.
......
The next morning, Gu Sang had just come out of the kitchen carrying food when she ran into Li Shi.
When Li saw Gu Sang, she immediately stepped forward with a smile.
"Oh, my dear girl, I was just about to call you when you came out of the kitchen with the food," Li said with a smile.
"I was thinking about something and forgot the time, so I got up early," Gu Sang explained.
Upon hearing this, Madam Li immediately waved her hand and said.
“I know you’re busy, it’s okay. By the way, Da Niu’er, your grandpa is going out with the village chief today, so he probably can’t come and help me watch over these chickens, ducks and geese.”
Li expressed great regret.
"Okay, I understand. I'll go with them then and see how much silver he thinks our land can fetch!"
"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
After saying this with a smile, Li turned and went inside.
Gu Sang then looked at the piglets that were frolicking in the yard.
"Hey girl, why don't you find some time to sell these piglets, okay?"
Li looked at Gu Sang and asked.
"Hmm?" Gu Sang looked at Li Shi in surprise upon hearing this.
“We can’t eat them all, and we don’t have the energy to raise them. Let’s sell some,” Li said, looking at the piglets with a worried expression.
Seeing this, Gu Sang didn't say anything.
Regardless of Li's thoughts, these piglets are the Gu family's wealth, and she will not let them wander outside.
Gu Sang nodded, then led the piglets over and put them inside the house.
When Li saw that Gu Sang had agreed, a smile appeared on her lips.
In the time that followed, Gu Sang kept thinking about how to get her hands on these lands.
A plan suddenly popped into her mind.
She decided to use her own methods to sell those piglets!
In this way, not only can they sell their chickens, ducks, and geese at higher prices, but they can also sell them at higher prices.
The idea was adopted by the Li family as soon as it was proposed, since it was indeed a good method. Moreover, it could earn more money.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Sang wrote another note and had someone take it to the town. Then, she handed the one thousand taels of silver notes to the town's shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the silver note. So many silver notes! That's a full two thousand taels of silver!
“Oh, young lady, you can’t just give me this banknote for free! I haven’t even seen it yet! This banknote needs to be verified at the government office. I can’t keep it for myself, otherwise, my shop won’t last long!” the shopkeeper said.
"It's alright, we have plenty of money. You can take it and have it verified. I also want to sell these banknotes. So you can take them with you."
Gu Sang smiled and said upon hearing this.
"Alright, alright, I'll take it! However, I don't necessarily have to buy it. I'm thinking that if this banknote is genuine, I'll sell it to the government, and then the government's reward can be doubled. If it's not genuine, I won't force you to do a losing deal." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he put the banknote into his pocket and then went to find someone to verify it.
Seeing this, Gu Sang didn't say anything, but kept her eyes fixed on the shopkeeper's bag of silver.
This money was all Gu Sang's private savings, which she had always kept very carefully. But now she was going to use it to acquire those lands.
...
"Big brother, when is your village chief coming?" After seeing that everyone from the Gu family had gone out, Li Shi immediately went up to ask as someone passed by the door.
"It'll probably take another hour or two. Our village chief is usually quite early," the uncle replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Li nodded and did not ask any further questions.
Gu Sang returned shortly afterward.
"Mother, the matter is settled."
Gu Sang said with a smile.
"It's all done?" Madam Li looked at Gu Sang in surprise. "How did you manage to do it?"
“I don’t know either. I just told them that my family has some land that we want to sell to them.” Gu Sang shook her head. “Then they agreed. I said I wanted to sell all of this, but they all said they didn’t want it. So I had no choice but to let them see my land first.” Gu Sang explained with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Li nodded: "That's fine. As long as these things can be sold, we'll make a profit."
“Yes, that’s what I think too.” Gu Sang smiled as well.
Before she knew it, Gu Sang's mood had improved a lot.
Gu Sang's mindset seems to be gradually changing.
She wasn't just feeling emotional about selling her land to someone else; she was also gradually changing herself.
"By the way, Mother, have you been to town these past few days?" Gu Sang suddenly looked up and asked Li Shi.
"What's wrong? Did you discover something?" Li asked.
“Yes, these past few days, I’ve felt a bit uneasy. I have a feeling that this matter isn’t as simple as it seems. You all need to be careful these days, don’t wander around aimlessly, and especially don’t go out unnecessarily,” Gu Sang said, frowning.
Her intuition told her that she might have discovered something; perhaps, what she was about to discover was the Li family's secret!
In this timeline, the Gu family's businesses did not exist; they were all passed down from generation to generation by Li's father.
Therefore, Li Shi simply did not possess the same level of insight as Gu Shi.
After hearing what Gu Sang said, Li was immediately puzzled.
A look of doubt flickered in her eyes.
She felt that Gu Sang's expression was a little strange.
"Be careful these next few days, especially pay attention to safety. Don't go out. If you notice anything amiss, run back immediately, understand?" Gu Sang instructed Li Shi and Gu Song again.
"Oh, I understand. Don't worry. The children and I will be careful." Mrs. Li nodded.
