Chongxi held the bulging new purse in his hand and said worriedly, "Why did my second uncle give me so much? What if I lose it?"

Fubao looked at his worried expression and said playfully, "Then I'll keep it for my brother!"

Staring at him with sparkling eyes, Chongxi shook his head firmly: "Forget it, we can't put all the money into one pocket."

Fubao raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, you're quite smart."

It had been half a month since he moved here, and this was Chongxi's first time out. Fubao always wanted to take him out to relax, but he always refused. If Chongming hadn't directly pulled him into the car this time, he probably wouldn't have been able to get out.

Fu Bao looked at him holding his hand tightly and said, "Brother, don't be so nervous. I won't get lost."

Chongxi loosened his grip a little, but still held on: "There are too many people here, so we still have to be careful."

Chongming knew that the two were following him, so he just looked around in front and didn't worry about his younger brothers and sisters at all.

Fubao took Chongxi to the candy stall and said to the old man, "Grandpa, how much do you want for this candy?"

Seeing that business was coming, the old man stood up and introduced enthusiastically: "A sugar figure is ten cents. You name it, I can draw any animal."

Chongxi was slightly surprised: "Ten cents? It only costs two cents here."

Fu Bao whispered, "This is how it is in Yuzhou. When you throw money out, you can't even hear a sound. Just get used to it. I will make money and you guys are responsible for spending it."

After that, he said to the stall owner: "Then make seven for me, two puppies and two wolves. The rest can be made into rabbits, chickens and deer."

Chongxi pulled her and asked, "Why are you buying so much?"

Fubao: "We each get one. But brother Yisheng and little brother must take the same one, otherwise little brother will cry again."

The stall owner was so happy to see a big order coming in that he couldn't stop smiling: "Little girl, I'll make it for you right away. Wait a moment."

Fubao: "Let's go shopping first and come back to get it later." After that, he gave him ten coins: "You make it first, and I will pay the rest when I come to get the candy man."

The boss smiled and said, "I will definitely make it the best looking for you."

Fubao then dragged Chongxi to look at other stalls. There was only a small cart in the distance, and the stall owner was busy in front of the stall, fiddling with bamboo tubes.

Fubao's eyes lit up: "Brother, look at that." Then she flew over like a little bird. Chongxi followed her closely, fearing that anything might go wrong.

Arriving at the stall, Fubao looked at the familiar bamboo tube and smelled the fragrance. Fubao: "Auntie, how much is this?"

The woman had her sleeves tied tightly and a headscarf tied on her head. There were only finished products in front of the stall. When she saw someone asking the price, she quickly replied, "Twenty cents a tube. They were all freshly cooked this morning."

Fubao nodded. The last time his father bought a can of Bamboo Leaf Green for each person, they finished it very quickly. So he said, "Then I want twenty cans. Take three first, and come back to get the rest when we leave later."

The woman took the silver and agreed with a smile: "Okay, come and get it later. If it's inconvenient, I'll send it to you."

Walking forward is like a magician. Looking at the person dressed in colorful clothes and holding many small flowers in his hands, I didn't expect that when he threw them into the sky, they turned into an oil-paper umbrella.

The crowd cheered and clapped loudly.

The gong-beater had already come over with his gong, and a group of people were throwing coins into the gong. Fu Bao reached into his pocket and gave him five coins.

Chongxi held the bamboo leaf green in his hand and handed it over: "You must be tired of shouting, have some water."

Fubao gulped down a few big gulps, and after walking half the street, he spent all the money in his hand. He either ate this or bought that, and he was very happy.

Chongming came to find them from the opposite direction, carrying boxes of different sizes in his hands, and said, "Have you had enough fun? Let's go home!"

Fubao: "Brother Chongxi, why don't you buy anything?"

Chongxi lowered his eyes and replied, "There's nothing I want. Do you have anything else? I'll give you mine."

He handed over the purse, and Fubao said, "No, save it and come back next time."

On the way back, he took the sugar man and the bamboo green snake with him and returned to the carriage fully loaded.

Sitting back in the car, Fubao said, "I know what's missing here." Chongming and Chongxi looked at her and gestured for her to continue.

Fubao: "There are no ordinary dessert shops or snacks on this half of the street."

Chongming continued, "There's none on the street over there either. The only dim sum they have is Wuweizhai, and it's very expensive."

Fu Bao: "Most of the things here are relatively cheap and affordable for ordinary people. There are five empty shops that are ready to be rented out. Let's go back and discuss it with the adults and try to open a store."

Chongxi was surprised. Although he knew that his younger sister was precocious, he didn't expect that she would notice so many things during such a crazy outing. Chongming was used to it. He ate and drank as usual. He did whatever his younger sister said.

During dinner, Fubao expressed his thoughts: "The prices in Yuzhou are too high, ten times higher than ours. Although we have some income now, the house is rented after all, and it is not stable. So I think we can do some small business ourselves."

Li Huaiqing held the bowl and sighed, "You, a little kid, have to worry about the livelihood of the family... If you were born in a rich family, you wouldn't have to suffer so much."

Fubao: "Grandpa! What are you talking about? If you keep doing this, I will be angry. From childhood to adulthood, my family never let me go hungry during the disaster years, let alone suffer. That was never the case."

Li Darong had just returned from the melon field. When he heard her say that she wanted to start a business, he hurriedly asked carefully, "What kind of business do you want to start? Uncle, let me hear it."

Fubao talked about the dessert shop: "On the East Street, there is not even a tea shop except for the one selling Bamboo Leaf Green Tea. Passers-by just rest on the steps in front of the shops. If we can open a dessert shop and sell some snacks, business will definitely be good."

Most of the money in the family was earned by her, and the family had complete confidence in her ability. Zhou Qiaoping even said, "How much money do you want? We will give it to you from the public treasury. It's all your money anyway, so you can spend it however you want."

Others had no objection and echoed the sentiment.

Fu Bao smiled slyly: "Then we need the help of our aunt."

Zhang Ercui's hands froze while she was eating: "Why me again? I can't do such tiring work."

Fubao smiled and begged: "Oh, here are the snacks and sweet soups. My aunt is the best cook in the family. If you don't come, all the guests will definitely leave." He said a lot of nice words.

Zhang Ercui was overjoyed by what she said and reluctantly agreed, "Well, let's give it a try."

That night, Fubao took her and A Niang into the kitchen to tinker with it.
