My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

As Gu Lili spoke, she turned around and went back to her shack to sleep.

In fact, Gu Lili had never been in a relationship before, so she just shared her understanding with Gu Erniu for reference.

Gu Erniu was greatly inspired and decided to perform well in the future.

This is not only the case in front of Dahua, but also in front of Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhang.

The next day, after Gu Lili and her three siblings came back from exercise and had breakfast, Gu Lili took them to reclaim some wasteland, preparing to plant some fruit trees, vegetables and so on.

If the four of them were to reclaim the nine acres of wasteland, it would probably take several months.

By then we'll have missed the spring planting.

Gu Lili hit her head and came up with a solution.

She asked Gu Erniu to go around and ask if there was anyone who had less farm work to do at home and could be called to help.

The wages are the same as those for building a house, fifteen cents a day, with no meals provided.

These days, almost every household was not very busy, so when Gu Erniu went to ask, seven or eight people came to help.

Among them are Zhang Dahua and Zhang Shu.

So, together with Gu Lili and her siblings, there were more than ten people in total, and they began to work enthusiastically.

This wasteland was filled with quartz stones of all sizes. Gu Lili asked everyone to pick them up in a pile so that they could be used for future research on how to make glass.

In fact, in the trading system, glass is very cheap.

The reason why Gu Lili went to so much trouble to make it was because this thing did not exist in ancient times.

By then, it will definitely be sold at a good price.

However, all this needs to be done slowly.

With more people there is more power, and in less than half a day a lot of the land had been cleared.

Gu Lili was picking up stones with her head down when she heard someone calling her.

Gu Lili looked up and saw that it was Aunt Zhang.

Gu Lili threw the stone in her hand into the pile of stones and walked towards Aunt Zhang while clapping her hands.

"Auntie, is there anything wrong?" Gu Lili asked.

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Someone from your family is looking for you. They say it's from the Han's Company. You should go back and take a look."

When Gu Lili heard this, she quickly called Gu Erniu and went home.

The people from Han's Trading Company must have come to see me to discuss the matter of maltose.

Taking Gu Erniu with me is a good opportunity to let him learn. Once he has learned well, I can free myself to do other things.

Gu Lili and Gu Erniu walked towards home and saw from afar a horse-drawn carriage parked steadily at the gate of their courtyard.

Didn’t Wang Fugui say that only the rich and noble can ride in a carriage?

This also means that the status of the Han family is probably not simple.

As they approached, they saw a modest young man in a crescent-shaped white robe standing at the door waiting, with a young servant beside him.

It was not the Shopkeeper Han from that day. Gu Lili secretly guessed that it might be Shopkeeper Han’s son.

However, it seems unlikely. How could the son of a shopkeeper dress so well?

Then he should be the patriarch of the Han family. He is so young.

He looked to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old. Gu Lili couldn't help but admire him, saying that he was truly a talented young man.

"Excuse me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Gu Lili asked knowingly.

When Han Changlin turned around, he saw Gu Lili and her brother, who were covered in dust and dirt, and he couldn't help but frown.

He didn't expect that such sweet candy would come from Gu Lili's hand.

Gu Lili saw the displeasure on Han Changlin's face and she took back all the praise she had given to Han Changlin.

What a crappy young talent, it turns out he is just a short-sighted stinky man.

However, Gu Lili did not intend to turn against him.

After all, I was just doing business with him, not marrying him, so why should I care about his expression?

Han Changlin noticed that Gu Lili was unhappy and immediately changed his expression.

"I'm the young master of the Han family, and I want to talk to you about the maltose business." Han Changlin said with a fake smile.

When Gu Lili heard this, she also put on a fake smile and invited Han Changlin into her courtyard.

Han Changlin looked inside, shook his head and said, "Miss, let's talk outside!"

To be honest, he didn't want to come here at all. The roads in the village were difficult to travel on, and they were dirty and smelly.

However, this candy is really good. If I take it to the capital, I will definitely make a lot of money.

Gu Lili didn't care and said, "Then I wonder how Mr. Han wants to talk?"

Han Changlin said straight to the point, "I'll pay you five hundred taels for your recipe for making maltose. What do you think?"

Gu Lili couldn't help laughing. It seemed that they came here for her recipe.

However, he is much more generous than Wang Fugui.

Han Changlin thought Gu Lili would agree immediately. After all, who could resist the temptation of so much money?

What's more, she is a poor girl.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Han today. I don't intend to sell my recipe." Gu Lili refused.

Just kidding, Gu Lili already has several thousand taels in her small treasury.

How could I be interested in just five hundred taels?

"Hmph! You damn girl, you really don't know what's good for you!" Xiao Si on the side cursed.

Gu Lili's eyes turned cold instantly. Before he could say anything, Gu Erniu clenched his fist and punched Xiao Si in the nose.

Gu Lili did not stop Gu Erniu, but only slowly asked Gu Erniu to stop after Xiao Si was hit several times.

After these few days of training, Gu Erniu has made a lot of progress.

He actually beat Xiao Si, who was a head taller than him, and made him bleed from the nose.

What Gu Lili didn't expect was that Han Changlin was not angry.

As the saying goes, when beating a dog, you have to look at its owner.

Han Changlin just looked at Gu Lili with a smile, and Gu Lili looked at him without fear.

After a long while, Han Changlin finally smiled and said, "My servants are ignorant. I'd like to trouble you to educate them for me, young lady."

For some reason, Han Changlin found Gu Lili quite interesting.

Normally, children of this age would be timid and afraid to speak when they see me.

Unexpectedly, Gu Lili was so calm and composed.

If this was a man, I would definitely spend a lot of money to invite him to be the manager of my branch.

"I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it." Gu Lili replied with a smile.

"Since the girl doesn't want to sell her house, let's talk about buying your candy." Han Changlin said.

Han Changlin had made two preparations when he came here. It would be best if he could sell the house.

If you don't want to sell it, you can buy candy.

Gu Lili smiled faintly and said, "One hundred coins per pound, no bargaining. I wonder how many pounds does Mr. Han need?"

After listening to this, Han Changlin raised three fingers.

"Thirty kilograms?" asked Gu Erniu beside him.

Gu Lili smiled and said, "It should be 300 kilograms, otherwise, Master Han would not have made this trip."
