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

Changan explained with a smile.

Liu Ying raised her voice a little and said, "We also went to the western suburbs today, how come we didn't meet you?"

Chang'an knew that Gu Lili must have read the Zhuangzi that Liu Ying mentioned yesterday.

"I'm going to buy a sheep." Chang'an said with a smile.

Early this morning, he took Wei Yue to Yu Shanhai's farm to buy sheep.

The sheep would have to travel for ten days, half a month, or even longer. He thought about personally selecting some strong sheep so as to minimize losses along the way.

Moreover, the sheep pen was extremely smelly. Given Gu Lili's personality, she would definitely go there to pick some sheep. He didn't want Gu Lili to choose the sheep by herself.

He took Wei Yue to choose for half a day, and his body was covered with the smell of sheep, feces and urine.

After returning to Liu's house, I took a bath three times before the smell on my body was gone.

While washing, Chang'an was thinking, I wonder how smelly Wei Yue would be when he drove the sheep back to the East China Sea.

Thinking of this, Changan couldn't help but laugh with evil humor.

I was also wondering in my heart whether I should consider giving Wei Yue more monthly salary, just as a consolation.

At this time, Wei Yue and the other two secret guards changed into farmers' attire and were driving sheep towards Donghai Town.

Two of the sheep they selected were a little small, and they could not walk for a while.

Wei Yue had no choice but to pick him up.

Who would have known that this sheep didn't even bother to say hello when it wanted to poop, and just pooped directly on Wei Yue.

Shit and urine were thrown together, but Chang'an's order was that the sheep must not suffer any losses.

Wei Yue had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue on his journey with tears streaming down his face.

"How much does it cost to buy the sheep? I'll give you the money." Gu Lili said lightly.

She didn't expect that Chang'an spent most of the day buying sheep.

Although it was well-intentioned, Gu Lili didn't want to owe him anything, especially money.

Changan shook his head repeatedly and said, "No need, just consider this as my farewell gift to you."

Seeing that she couldn't join in the conversation between Chang'an and Gu Lili, Liu Ying said goodbye to Gu Lili and went to see what delicious food the kitchen was preparing tonight.

"You've already given the farewell gift, so I'll give you the money for the sheep. It's better to make the calculation clearer." Gu Lili said.

When Chang'an heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

Didn’t we agree last night that he would cancel the engagement when he returned to Beijing?

Why did Gu Lili's words today make it sound as if she didn't want to have anything to do with me.

"Then how should we calculate the time you have taken me in? If you really feel bad about it, why don't you give me some gifts when I return to the capital?"

Gu Lili thought about it and agreed.

It would be troublesome to distinguish them all at once.

After Chang'an returned to the capital, everything became clear as time went by.

Gu Lili nodded and said, "Okay, then I will definitely give you a gift when the time comes."

When Chang'an asked for a return gift, Gu Lili had already thought of what to give him.

To be precise, it was not given to Chang'an, but to the people of China.

However, this gift must be kept secret and delivered to Chang'an when we return to the East China Sea.

Chang'an was happy to see that Gu Lili no longer refused.

The next day, after lunch, Liu Ying's servants came hurriedly to deliver the message.

It is said that there is a man called Uncle Fa Cai who wants to see someone.

"Uncle Fa Cai is my friend." Gu Lili explained to Liu Ying.

Chang'an and Li Ershu couldn't help but feel suspicious. Fa Cai only knew that they came to Jiangdu, but didn't know that they would come to Liu's house.

How did this come to me?

If they knew that Uncle Fa Cai was in Donghai Town last night and appeared in Jiangdu today, they would be a hundred times more shocked.

Liu Ying smiled and said, "Since you are the county lady's friend, please come in quickly."

Uncle Fa Cai was asked by Gu Lili to come last night. As long as Gu Lili gives an order in her mind, Uncle Fa Cai will receive it and carry it out.

This made it easier for Gu Lili to do things.

Since you want to distill essential oils, you need a piece of equipment.

There are plenty of them in the equipment space, but a legitimate reason is needed to hide from Chang'an and Li Ershu.

So, Uncle Fortune is the best excuse.

In a short while, Uncle Fa Cai was invited in.

"Greetings, County Lady." The Money Tree walked in and bowed to Gu Lili.

Gu Lili nodded pretentiously, motioning Uncle Fa Cai to sit down and talk.

"We met briefly yesterday. I don't know why Uncle Fa Cai came to Jiangdu." Gu Lili said deliberately.

She said this in order to make Uncle Fa Cai appear reasonably.

If it is a message, it must be unrealistic.

Uncle Fa Cai explained with a smile, "It's normal for businessmen like us to travel all over the country. It's really nice to meet acquaintances in a foreign land!"

After hearing Uncle Fa Cai’s explanation, Li Ershu and Chang’an’s doubts were dispelled.

Gu Lili understood and introduced Uncle Fa Cai to Liu Ying with a smile.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they sat down to chat.

"I wonder if we can bring the tools for extracting essential oils that Uncle Fa Cai mentioned last time on board?" Gu Lili asked deliberately.

The purpose is to take out the distillation machine and use it naturally.

Uncle Fa Cai nodded seriously and said self-deprecatingly, "I have kept it on the boat, thinking that I would sell it to the right person. However, after one or two years, no one has recognized the use of this tool. I am afraid it will be ruined in my hands."

Gu Lili murmured in her heart, this robot is really good at acting, it doesn't even laugh.

Everyone was a little confused as to what the tools the two were talking about were.

"I was thinking of writing to you and asking you to send the tools to me in Jiangdu. I want them!" said Gu Lili.

Who knew that when Uncle Fa Cai heard that Gu Lili wanted the machine, he stood up excitedly.

This gave Gu Lili a big shock.

Uncle Fa Cai said excitedly, "What the county lady said is true! Then I can sell it to you at a lower price!"

Everyone watched as the two of them chatted with each other and bought some distillation tools that they had never heard of.

"Okay! Then you send it to Wangwu Bridge in the western suburbs tomorrow and we will meet there." Gu Lili said.

Uncle Fa Cai nodded in agreement and stood up to say goodbye.

Gu Lili also breathed a sigh of relief. You know, it's very tiring to act with yourself.

After Uncle Fa Cai left, Gu Lili, Chang'an and Li Ershu went to the farm in the western suburbs.

Early this morning, timber, bricks and other items were all transported to the farm.

Now it's time to start work.

It's just a house renovation, so there's no need to be so particular and naturally there's no need to pick an auspicious day.

"Uncle, I want to open a workshop here. Are you willing to stay in Jiangdu and help me manage it?"

The carriage drove towards the western suburbs, and Gu Lili also lifted the curtain to ask Li Ershu.

Li Ershu nodded and agreed without thinking.

"I do!"
