A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband
Chapter 66: Early Arrival
The aunt didn't say anything else and quickly asked her shopkeeper to go to town quickly: "Hey, let's go quickly, it's getting late, come back and talk later."
Gu Zhou helped bring a small bowl of salty dumpling soup into the main room of his aunt's house.
Shen Wu touched Gu Wei's head and said, "We will be back soon, be good."
"Okay." Gu Wei nodded and ran obediently to stay next to her aunt.
Li Youfu sat at the front of the ox cart and called out to the two people to get on: "Let's go."
Shen Wu went up first and sat down, holding the backpack, and Gu Zhou quickly followed her.
"Wife, let's go!" Li Youfu turned around and shouted, then hit the cow's butt a few times with the whip and the cart slowly started moving.
Compared with the last experience, Shen Wu was more skilled this time. As soon as he got on the car, he held the backpack and started to daydream again.
Li Youfu drove the carriage faster than ever today and whipped the carriage faster.
He just drove on without asking the two people whether they were going to sell these in town. He could probably guess something, but it was better not to ask since the children didn't say anything.
This time it was really fast. In about ten minutes, Shen Wu saw the city gate again.
The carriage only ran a few steps before the three of them arrived at the city gate.
"What are you doing outside the city?" The men guarding the city gate were different from the previous ones. This time they looked more formal and their clothes were similar in style.
There was a team entering the city, and perhaps because it was dawn, there were only two or three people in the team.
Shen Wu looked curiously at the man who was questioning the team leaving the city, wondering, so tight? What was the problem this time?
"What are you doing in the city?" The question was asked by a young man who spoke in an official tone and sounded a little fierce.
Li Youfu got down from the front of the car and said with a smile: "Sir, we are going to the town to buy some eggs."
"Chicken?" The man saw the basket on the car, stretched his head to take a look and was about to reach out to touch it.
Shen Wu was quick to pull the backpack into his arms and avoid the hand.
"You! What are you doing! What's hidden in there?!"
The man guarding the city gate shouted at Shen Wu, attracting the attention of people nearby, even the man next to him who was dressed the same as him was attracted.
Seeing the sudden change in the situation, Li Youfu hurried forward to plead: "Sir, Sir, Sir, please don't worry, the child is young..."
Seeing this, Gu Zhou stepped forward and tried to stand in front of Shen Wu, but was pushed down by her.
"What's going on?" A man who was also checking the entry and exit of the city came over following the sound.
"Your Excellency, you don't know. These are the foods my mother prepared. She was seriously ill and had no money for medicine, so she asked my brother and I to come out and sell the food to earn some money. If your Excellency wants to check, I will open the gap a little to have a look. If you open it too wide, all the heat will escape and we won't have any money for my mother's medicine."
Shen Wu and the man who came over spoke at the same time. The man originally wanted to come and see what was going on, but he didn't expect to hear such content.
"You!" The man checking did not expect this to happen, and felt a little embarrassed: "Then open a crack and let me see."
Shen Wu took out the covered corner and opened a small gap upwards: "Please have a look, sir."
The man came closer and took a closer look at what was inside. It looked like a steamed bun, but it was wrapped so tightly that hot steam came out as soon as a crack was opened.
"Okay, let's go." The man waved his hand and told them to leave quickly.
Li Youfu returned to the carriage and started to drive.
When they were some distance away from the city gate, Li Youfu could not help but speak: "Yuwa, what can I say to you, uncle? Why do you look more dead than before after you forgot what happened? He is an official, he can just look at it, how can you be like this? What if this official today is someone who is not easy to deal with and has to open the cloth to see what's inside, will you still be like this?"
Shen Wu laughed out loud: "Uncle, you should see that I'm here to sell food. The food is made and has lost a lot of heat on the way here. If I let him open it and touch here and there, how can I sell my food?"
Li Youfu didn't know what to reply and sighed: "Where are you two going? Uncle will drive over there."
Shen Wu thought for a while and said: "Just go to the morning market where there are the most people and find a place where there are fewer people and it's not crowded."
"Okay, sit tight." Li Youfu waved the whip twice, and the ox cart ran faster.
~~~~
"Here, what do you think?"
Li Youfu had passed by crowded places at the morning market several times when he bought chickens, and he also knew which place had fewer people and was suitable for the two children to sell.
"Thank you, uncle." Shen Wu jumped out of the car and took a look. This place was really nice. It was at the side door of an inn. There were not many people on both sides, but it was a place to have breakfast.
Li Youfu helped them lift the backpack down and put it on the ground: "Okay, then uncle will leave first. If you want to go back earlier, you can wait for me at the old place at the city gate. If I come early, I will wait for you, no later than 9 o'clock."
"Wait a minute." Shen Wu took out two big buns and handed them to Li Youfu: "Uncle, thank you for your help on the way here. You haven't eaten yet this morning. Take this."
"This...this won't do. You are selling these buns. I don't want them." Li Youfu quickly waved his hand to refuse the buns she was going to sell.
Shen Wu saw that being soft didn't work so he changed his approach: "Uncle, do you think my buns are unpopular?"
"No, uncle didn't," Li Youfu denied quickly, fearing that Jiang Yu would think too much.
"Since uncle doesn't mind, take it and eat it. You still have to work all morning, so it's always okay to have it ready. If you don't take it, I'll be angry."
Li Youfu took it reluctantly: "Okay, okay, uncle wants it. I know you are a kind-hearted child. I'll take it."
When Shen Wu saw him take it, he immediately smiled and said, "Uncle, take care."
After kicking the two hot buns back to his chest, Li Youfu got into the car and said, "Be careful. If you have any problems, just find me at the vegetable street entrance over there."
"Oh! Got it." Shen Wu waved goodbye to Uncle Li and turned to look at Gu Zhou, whom he had ignored for a long time.
"What are you doing?!" Shen Wu turned around and saw that he had a strange expression on his face, as if he wanted to say something: "Just say whatever you want to say. It's stupid to hold it in."
"You...said that at the city gate..." Gu Zhou stammered, unable to describe what she said at the city gate.
Shen Wu put the backpack inside and quickly stood up and whispered, "I had to lie at that time. Let's discuss this issue when we get back. Let's sell the buns first. Remember, we are brothers. I am the older brother and you are the younger brother. You take the money and I give you the buns. You, understand!"
"Hmm... yeah, I understand." Gu Zhou reluctantly accepted his suggestion, although he really didn't want to use this method.
After Shen Wu dealt with Gu Zhou, he quickly started the first step of his own gourmet cooking.
She first took out a big, round bun from the basket and placed it on top, then closed the basket and started shouting.
"Hey! Let's go take a look! The big buns are fresh out of the pot and they are delicious. On the first day of sale, one bun costs 6 wen, and two buns cost 10 wen."
Shen Wu was a socially anxious person in modern times, but he was no longer afraid when he arrived in ancient times. He shouted hard and called people passing by to come and have a look.
She shouted for a long time until her voice was hoarse, but no one came forward. Gu Zhou saw this and hurried over to persuade her: "You take a break, I'll do it."
Seeing her disappointed face, I went over to comfort her: "Don't feel bad. If we can't sell them, we can eat them all ourselves and we won't make them next time."
