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

Gu Erniu covered his head in pain and smiled awkwardly, "I... I'm not afraid!"

The two walked forward. Gu Lili saw a shop selling oil paper, so she went in and bought some so that she could pack the candies more conveniently later.

Gu Lili did not continue to expose him and took Gu Erniu to a crowded place.

This place happened to be a crossroads with many people coming and going, so Gu Lili decided to set up a stall here.

Gu Lili took Gu Erniu's backpack, put it on the ground, and then began to shout, "Selling maltose, selling maltose, if it's not sweet, no money!"

Hearing Gu Lili's shouting, Gu Erniu was instantly frightened and broke out in a sweat.

"Sister, how can you not want money!" Gu Erniu pulled Gu Lili's sleeve, signaling Gu Lili to stop shouting.

Gu Lili smiled and explained patiently, "Erniu, there's nothing to be afraid of. Don't you know whether our candy is sweet or not? There's nothing to worry about."

After listening to Gu Lili's words, Gu Erniu scratched his head and thought about it. It seemed to be the case.

Gu Lili continued to shout, and soon, several people gathered around their stall.

"Little girl, how much do you sell your malt candy for?" asked an auntie, with a little girl of five or six years old standing next to her.

Gu Lili looked at the aunt in front of her calmly. The aunt was wearing a blue satin dress and a silver hairpin in her hair. It was obvious that she was not a farmer.

"Auntie, come, let me let you try it first. You can buy it after you're satisfied." Gu Lili said with a smile.

Gu Lili and Gu Erniu picked up some maltose with bamboo sticks and handed them to the aunt in blue and the little girl she was holding.

Of course, the people watching around were not left out, and no matter how they were dressed, they were all given the food to taste.

These people were instantly touched. This girl didn't only let rich people taste her.

They didn’t make much, just enough to have a taste.

"Little girl, your candy is so sweet, even sweeter than the ones I bought in wealthy shops!" The aunt in blue clothes took a bite and praised it highly.

"Yes, it's really sweet. How much is it?" Several people around who tasted it also praised it and asked about the price.

Gu Lili smiled and said, "Although our sugar is sweeter than others, the price is the same. Moreover, we have two kinds of sugar: syrup and sugar cubes. The price is the same and the sweetness is the same."

Gu Erniu also cooperated and took out the basin of sugar cubes to show everyone.

In their understanding, maltose is liquid, and this kind of candy is rare, so they can't help but be curious.

"Are sugar cubes just as sweet?" asked the lady in blue.

Gu Lili took a small piece of broken chocolate from the side and handed it to the aunt. The aunt tasted it and her eyes narrowed because of the sweetness.

"Little girl, weigh a pound of sugar for me so I can take some," the aunt said readily.

Gu Lili quickly took out the oil paper and weighed a pound for the aunt.

Gu Lili took another bamboo stick, stirred some sugar, and handed it to the little girl next to the aunt, saying with a smile, "Aunt, you are the first person to patronize our business, so I will give your child some more."

The auntie immediately smiled from ear to ear and paid the money readily.

Gu Erniu was stunned by Gu Lili's operation. He didn't expect that they could earn their first pot of gold so easily.

One catty can be sold for one hundred wen, ten catties are ten hundred wen, ten hundred wen. My sister said, one liang is one thousand wen, ten hundred wen, so that is ten liang.

Gu Erniu was thinking in his mind and tears were about to come out. He felt that they might get rich and his body couldn't help but tremble.

If Gu Lili knew this, she would be furious after teaching math for so many days and Gu Erniu ended up like this.

A woman next to her saw that Gu Lili was so straightforward and ordered half a pound as well.

"Hey, little girl, can you mix some of this candy and sell it to me?" an old lady in cotton clothes asked.

Her little grandson was sick, and she came to town today to buy medicine for him.

I just gathered around to join in the fun and took a bite of the candy. It was really sweet. Her grandson hasn't been able to eat for several days. This thing is rare, and I guess her grandson can eat it, so I thought of buying some for her grandson.

But she had almost spent all her money and couldn't buy much, so she asked.

"Grandma, our candies are mixed and sold at two cents a stick." Gu Lili said with a smile.

The old lady thought for a moment, took out two coins and said, "Come on, girl, stir me one!"

Gu Lili mixed the candy skillfully and handed it to the old lady, who happily left with the candy.

In a short while, Gu Lili sold more than two kilograms of candy, and also bought five or six candies.

Seeing that there were a lot of people buying things, Gu Erniu plucked up his courage and started shouting like Gu Lili.

Seeing Gu Erniu's growth, Gu Lili couldn't help but feel gratified.

After that, a few random people bought the candies, and no more candies were sold.

The brother and sister waited until noon but there was still no business. Seeing that there was no one, Gu Lili asked Gu Erniu to sell the food himself while she went to buy some buns to fill her stomach.

After buying the buns, Gu Lili came back and saw a familiar-looking man standing in front of their stall.

Gu Erniu stood there with his face flushed red, looking a little at a loss. Gu Lili quickly quickened her pace and walked towards Gu Erniu.

"Erniu, what's going on?" Gu Lili walked to the stall and pulled Gu Erniu behind her.

While asking Gu Erniu, he looked up at the man in front of the stall.

Before Gu Lili could say anything, Wang Fugui started yelling, "Little girl, it's you!"

Gu Lili took a look and saw that this was the owner of the shop where she had bought salt a few days ago.

I even called him a dog at that time...

This is a case of enemies meeting in a narrow road. How did we meet each other?

Gu Lili chose this place deliberately, which is some distance away from his shop.

"It's me, what's wrong!" Gu Lili looked at the burly and fat Wang Fugui and answered calmly.

She had already put her hand into her sleeve, ready to buy pepper spray and spray Wang Fugui at any time.

"Hahaha, little girl, you were so sharp-tongued the first time I met you, but this time, I feel like you still want to beat me up!" Wang Fugui laughed so hard that the fat on his face trembled.

When Gu Lili saw that Wang Fugui showed no signs of taking action, she said, "The first time you saw me, you scolded me, and I couldn't say anything back. This time, you bullied my brother again. Zela, you are rich, and that's not a big deal!"

"Sister, no, this uncle wanted to buy all our candies. He didn't bully me." Gu Erniu pulled Gu Lili's sleeve and explained quickly.
