No one knows whether these items will be successfully sold, and they are understandably anxious.
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang turned to look at Da Wa and found that they all looked anxious and worried.
Li Rong was somewhat better off, but even her usually expressionless face showed a hint of tension.
This made Gu Sang burst out laughing.
"Don't worry, I'm confident."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Siya also raised her little fist and cheered Gu Sang on in her childish voice.
"Big sister is the best!"
"Big sister is the best!"
Da Wa and the others nodded vigorously.
Gu Sang felt a warm feeling in her heart; the feeling of a family working together towards a common goal was truly wonderful.
Li Rong also glanced at Gu Sang, a faint smile appearing on her lips.
Because the family was small and weak, they walked much slower, and by the time they reached the town, it was already broad daylight.
The streets were as vibrant as the rising sun, and the calls of vendors and the laughter of customers who had bought something they liked seemed to be infectious.
Gu Sang glanced around, then chose a spot and had Li Rong put the things down.
She first took out the dried fruit and fruit wine and set them out. Then she went to the restaurant to ask for a bowl of hot water to make lotus root starch. After everything was ready, she took a deep breath and turned to look at her family.
The Li family and others had never been to town before, so they felt a sense of unease, and their eyes showed a mixture of bewilderment, helplessness, and vulnerability.
Gu Sang knew she couldn't rely on them anymore, and as for Li Rong...
Well, child labor can't be used so indiscriminately, so Gu Sang decided to do it herself.
"Fruit preserves and fruit wine! Delicious fruit preserves and fruit wines, as well as lotus root powder that can beautify and nourish the skin. Try before you buy, come and take a look if you're interested!"
As soon as Gu Sang started singing, it attracted a lot of people to come over. Everyone looked at each other and looked down at the dried fruit, fruit wine and other things on the basket.
"Little girl, what is this?"
"Uncle, this is wine. Because it only fermented overnight, the fermentation wasn't very good, but it tastes pretty good now. You can try it."
As she spoke, Gu Sang deftly poured some fruit wine into a clean bowl and handed it to the old man who had spoken to her.
The old man glanced at Gu Sang, then took the drink, sipped it, and gave her a thumbs up.
"Hmm, not bad! Although the taste is a bit sour and astringent, it has a unique flavor."
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang's eyes immediately lit up with a smile, and Li Shi and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Their biggest worry was that people wouldn't like their stuff, so they were incredibly happy to be praised.
"This fruit wine hasn't fermented yet. If you leave it in a cool place for a few more days, it will taste even better."
"Okay! Give me some, how much are they?"
On her way here, and while getting hot water at the restaurant, Gu Sang had already inquired about the prices of the drinks. However, since fruit wine and regular alcohol are not the same, the prices would be higher.
Gu Sang thought for a moment and then said, "The liquor costs eight copper coins per pound, while our fruit wine costs twelve copper coins per pound. There is a price difference, but because the fruit is fresh and the production process is very complicated, so..."
When Gu Sang said this, she was somewhat worried. After all, the price of fruit wine at twelve coins per catty was indeed a bit high. However, the production of fruit wine itself was complicated, and she couldn't afford to lose money.
However, the old man was a very insightful person. After thinking about it for a while, he nodded.
"That makes sense. Give me a pound."
"Okay!"
After Gu Sang filled a tall container with a pound of wine and explained the storage method, the fruit wine sold very well after everyone tasted it.
Some dried fruit was sold sporadically, but the results were not very good.
However, lotus root starch sold out after people tried it and it was said to have beauty and skin-nourishing effects.
"Sangsang, our dried fruit..."
Gu Sang narrowed her eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "I'll take the dried fruit to the restaurant to try. Mother, this is the money I earned today. Please take it and buy some things for our family. We can't be without anything at home."
After saying that, Gu Sang handed the money bag to Li Shi.
"Well... how about we wait until Sangsang is done with her work..."
"Mother, I don't know when I'll be finished. I can't wait until I'm done to buy things. Besides, we left early and haven't had breakfast yet. Da Wa and the others must be hungry. Mother, why don't you find a stall so they can have a good meal first?"
Everything else is fine, but we can't let it affect our younger siblings.
Sure enough, these words had a great effect on Li. She looked down at the four children, who were indeed quite listless from hunger, and immediately accepted the money bag with a nod.
"Okay, I'll take them to eat first. What about you, Sangsang?"
“If I go to a restaurant, I won’t need this. Mother, don’t forget to take him with you.” Gu Sang pointed at Li Rong.
Since someone came along, we can't let them go hungry.
Li said she understood, but when she called out to Li Rong, Li Rong refused and instead turned to look at Gu Sang.
"I'll go with you, so we can look after each other."
Gu Sang glanced at Li Rong with slight surprise, but didn't say anything and just nodded.
"Then let's go together."
After finishing speaking, he and Li Rong took the prepared fish to the restaurant.
It wasn't mealtime, so the restaurant was still quite quiet in the morning. When the waiter saw the two young boys coming in, he glanced at their clothes and then looked rather indifferent.
"Fish seller? We don't need any fish. Let's look elsewhere."
The waiter waved his hand after he finished speaking.
Li Rong pursed her lips and looked at Gu Sang.
Gu Sang didn't mind, a smile playing on her lips. She stepped forward and said with a smile, "Young man, we're not selling fish. We have a recipe for cooking fish that we'd like to discuss with our shopkeeper. Would you mind having the shopkeeper come out for a moment?"
Gu Sang spoke very frankly and sincerely. Although the waiter looked down on the two of them, his words were comforting. He glanced at them sideways and said, "Wait."
The shopkeeper was called down from the second floor, and when he saw the two young boys, he couldn't help but frown.

"You...just the two of you? Where are your parents?"
The shopkeeper thought that at the very least, an adult should be accompanying them.
