Zhu Hongan was about to withdraw his action when he heard: "Don't move."
He paused and wanted to withdraw.
"Do you want to learn martial arts to protect your mother?" This sentence made Zhu Hongan stop.
He looked up at Zhu Yunxi and nodded to him.
"think?"
"I do." Zhu Hongan finally spoke.
Zhu Yunxi raised her hand and tapped the little guy on the head, saying, "You can stand up straight now. When are you usually alone?"
"Mom, busy." Zhu Hongan said two words.
Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll come and teach you when your mother is busy. But I don't have time every day. If I'm not here, you have to practice hard according to what I say. Can you do that?"
"Yes!" Zhu Hongan stood straight, clenched his fists, and looked up at the tall man in front of him with a firm expression.
"Okay, I'll teach you the basics first. Just follow me."
It was almost dusk, and at this time everyone in the village was preparing dinner at home. Wang Po lived at the foot of the mountain and had no nearby neighbors, so no one would notice that there were two people practicing martial arts in the yard.
When he noticed someone approaching, Zhu Yunxi said, "Practice well!" and then disappeared from the other corner of the yard.
Zhu Hongan retracted his posture and blinked slowly. He seemed to not know what to call this weirdo.
"Son! I'm back!" Su Liuer waved to Zhu Hongan from a distance. She was in a better mood today than yesterday.
Not only did the business of the herbal jelly honey get better, earning more than two hundred copper coins a day, but the young man in brocade clothes also got an unexpected fortune of one or two taels of silver. How could he not be in a good mood?
However, the price of grass jelly honey has doubled, and the purchase of powdered sugar has to be doubled. People are working twice as hard, and the costs are also increasing. It will take some time to earn enough money to open a shop in the town.
Zhu Hongan did not tell anyone about what happened to the weirdo today because the two of them had made a manly agreement.
"You must be hungry! Mom will make you something delicious." Su Liuer reached out and touched the little yellow hair on Zhu Hongan's head. It still felt so soft.
After dinner in the evening, Su Liuer first gave Zhu Hongan a bath and let him go to bed, while she washed the fairy grass and hung them out to dry. She couldn't resist Wang Pozi who insisted on helping.
"Mother-in-law, I'll take Hong'an to town tomorrow morning. You can come back in the afternoon. We won't be back at noon."
Mrs. Wang wanted to say that she wanted to go together, but after thinking it over, she nodded. Yes, someone had to be at home to prepare the grass jelly honey for the afternoon. If she went with them, Su Liuer would have to run back and forth more often.
Besides, if no one is at home, someone might come and take a peek at the magical herb.
It would be better if the secret of the magic grass could be discovered later!

The next day, Su Liuer got up and started working while it was still dark. There was no other way. If she wanted to start doing business in the morning, she had to get up even earlier.
She also thought about using the power of ice spikes to take a shortcut, but it was just a thought. She was not a lazy person, so she had to put in the necessary effort.
The old donkey man came to pick people up in his donkey cart at the agreed time yesterday. Today is market day, and he has already been to the town twice.
After all, compared to Su Liuer who prefers hot weather to do business, it would be better for others to go to the town when it is cooler. They can also have more time to stroll around the town. Even if they don’t buy anything, the market day is much more lively than usual.
This was the first market day for Su Liuer since she came here, and her first reaction was: the grass jelly honey prepared today is not enough to sell!
There are too many people!
It made Su Liuer feel like she was traveling on holidays in the old world. Moreover, because it was a market day that happened once every two weeks, everyone was more generous. Since she was already here, she might as well buy whatever she liked!
Su Liuer asked Zhu Hongan to collect the money on the side, and she never stopped serving the herbal jelly honey. There was a queue outside the restaurant, which showed how popular the business was!
"Come, there are seats here too!" The waiter followed the shopkeeper's instructions and removed several tables, replacing them with benches, immediately adding a lot of space.
As more and more guests came, they woke up someone upstairs who hadn't yet decided to get up.
