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

Gu Lili jumped into the ditch and looked at the stone carefully.

It actually looked very familiar to me. When I touched it, the mechanical sound in my mind started to ring again.

"Ding, quartz stone, five hundred coins a ton!"

This made Gu Lili's face light up with joy.

Quartz is an important material for making glass.

If I set up a Liulichang or something like that, I could just lie down and count my money.

Looking at the quartz stone on the ground, Gu Lili couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This scared the people around.

I thought Gu Lili had a mental problem because she couldn't build a house.

Tiedan's father asked quickly, "Lili, what's going on?"

Tiedan's father's voice interrupted Gu Lili's dream of getting rich, and Gu Lili woke up.

He said a little embarrassedly, "Nothing, I just thought of something funny."

There is a stone here that is really difficult to dig.

We have to find a way to solve the problem.

"Uncles, you guys dig the ones nearby first. I have to go to Donghai Town soon. Let me think of a way to get this stone out!" said Gu Lili.

It’s not that Gu Lili is stubborn. Although she bought a lot of wasteland, she has to build a house and move the soil. It would be unlucky if the location was changed.

After hearing what Gu Lili said, everyone had no objection.

After all, the masters have followed this rule for generations, and they were discussing this matter while they were digging.

If it really doesn't work, just dig it out slowly.

I just don't know whether Gu Lili is willing to do so. This will delay the progress of building the house and will invisibly increase labor costs.

Gu Lili returned home and Sizhu's father also came.

Sizhu's father parked the ox cart in front of Gu Lili's house and came to help move the sugar.

Gu Lili only planned to take Gu Erniu with her today, and she planned to train Gu Erniu.

When they arrived in Donghai Town, Gu Lili brought her candy and Gu Erniu and went directly to Li's Trading Company.

As soon as Gu Lili stepped in, she saw a woman in red, who was about twenty years old.

This is a bit strange. Since I came here, I have never seen a female waiter.

"Dear guests, would you like to buy anything?" Li Yingru greeted the two with a smile.

Li Yingru did not look down on the brother and sister because of their clothes, which made Gu Lili give her a thumbs up in her heart.

Gu Lili smiled and said, "We are not here to buy anything. We have something to ask your shopkeeper!"

"I am the owner of this Li's Trading Company. What can I do for you?" Li Yingru replied.

Li Yingru was still looking at the two people in front of her, thinking that they were here to find work.

Although they looked skinny, they were actually quite smart.

It just so happens that I'm too busy these days.

There has been no business recently and everyone in the town has gone to Wang's Business.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, something happened in Wang Fugui’s shop.

It is said that somehow a ball flew in and exploded, and the whole store stunk.

Everyone who went in to buy things was awed by the stink.

Wang Fugui is really unlucky. In any case, all that's been going around in Donghai Town these days is his family's affairs.

Once again, his own wife was stripped naked in the street by his own son, and it was this disgusting thing again.

This just happened to give me a great bargain.

Wang Fugui and his own company are sworn enemies. That bastard got the maltose from somewhere and almost monopolized the sugar business.

Now, I guess I won’t be able to show off anytime soon.

When Gu Lili heard that Li Yingru was the shopkeeper, she put the candy in front of Li Yingru without any hesitation.

"Boss, we sell candy. Are you interested in selling our candy?" Gu Lili said, taking a piece and handing it to Li Yingru.

When Li Yingru saw the maltose, her eyes widened.

A few days ago, when Wang Fugui's products were selling like hot cakes, she asked others to buy them and come and see them.

It is very similar to the one in Gu Lili's hand, but I don't know if it is the same sweetness.

Li Yingru took the candy from Gu Lili's hand and put it into her mouth without hesitation.

"Yes, yes, yes! This is the taste!" Li Yingru couldn't help but praise.

This tastes exactly the same as the one I bought from Wang Fugui.

This compliment made Gu Lili and her brother feel a little confused for a moment.

Li Yingru seemed to have just realized her own mistake. She coughed and said, "Your candy is delicious. How much do you plan to sell it for per pound?"

Gu Lili smiled and stretched out a finger, saying, "One hundred coins per pound!"

On the way here just now, she took a special look at the price of food, which was already rising.

The price of wheat, which originally cost ten cents, has risen to fifteen cents. I believe it will continue to rise in the near future.

If I sell this candy at too low a price, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

Besides, this is business, not charity.

Of course, the purpose is to make money for yourself.

Li Yingru couldn't help but frown when she heard the price. "This is too expensive. The maltose in my store is only a hundred coins. If you sell it to me for a hundred coins, and I sell it to others for another hundred coins, how can I make any money?"

Li Yingru couldn't accept such a high price. One hundred Wen was indeed a bit expensive.

Gu Lili was not annoyed and continued, "Shopkeeper Li, the price of grain has risen recently. This candy is made of grain, so my price is already the lowest. Of course, my sister and I will not force you to buy or sell. If you don't want it, we can go to other stores to ask."

Li Yingru was in the town, and she knew about the rise in food prices.

However, one hundred wen is really a bit expensive and beyond my budget.

"Have you ever bought this candy for Wang Fugui before?" Li Yingru asked.

Gu Lili nodded and said, "Yes, but he is not honest, so I won't sell it to him in the future. If you want this candy from me, I promise that Donghai Town will only supply your family with it."

Gu Lili's answer made Li Yingru's heart moved.

I have seen how popular Wang Fugui's candy is.

People who come to buy candy don’t just buy candy. After buying candy, they also buy other necessary things, which can drive other businesses.

With this calculation, the candy doesn’t seem that expensive.

"Okay, then give me 30 kilograms to try first! It just so happens that there is a business in my hometown, Tianning Town!" Li Yingru said cheerfully.

This answer made Gu Lili look happy. She had originally planned to go to Donghai Town and then Tianning Town today, and then go to other places tomorrow.

Then let’s go to Mingyue Town today to save ourselves the trouble of going to another town.

After Li Yingru finished weighing, she turned around and started to find money for Gu Lili.

Gu Lili put away the banknotes and prepared to leave with Gu Erniu.

I have to go to Mingyue Town today! It took a long time to go back and forth.

"Little girl, would you like to sell your secret recipe for candy?" Li Yingru asked.
