I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

"There are so many shops, where should we go first?" asked Gu Dahe.

"Go to the blacksmith shop first and order the hunting tools and woodcarving tools you need. Then go shopping for other things."

As Grandpa Gu said this, he picked up Gu Fu with a smile and said, "Fuer, tell grandpa where you want to go. After we go to the blacksmith shop, let's go to the place Fuer wants to go, okay?"

Gu Fu hugged his grandfather's neck, thought seriously, and whispered in his grandfather's ear: "Grandpa, let's go find an inn and rent a yard first. I'm afraid that we will buy too many things and the car won't be able to accommodate them."

"Oh! How many things is Fu'er going to buy?"

Gu Fu stood up straight and began to count carefully with his fingers: "We don't have many books at home, and pens, ink, paper and inkstone are consumables. So Fu'er plans to buy out all the bookstores in the city."

"My eldest aunt wants to do embroidery, and my second aunt wants to learn fashion design. Fu'er must support her. I plan to buy all the cloth, silk thread, cotton, etc. from the cloth shops in the city."

"And there are delicious foods in the city..."

"Oh, my dear granddaughter, are you serious?" Old Master Gu couldn't help but interrupt Gu Fu's words, and asked his granddaughter with a smile, helplessness and shock.

Gu Fu blinked his big innocent eyes, looked at his grandfather seriously, nodded and said crisply: "Of course I'm serious. Fu'er wants to go shopping today!"

"Ah, hahahaha, hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Where did this little country bumpkin come from? He wants to buy out all the bookstores! He also wants to buy out all the cloth and cotton! Don't you see how poor you are? Can you afford a book if I give it to you?" An arrogant voice suddenly popped up.

Upon hearing this, the Gu family members looked towards the source of the voice angrily.

I saw a little fat man in gorgeous clothes, holding a half-eaten string of candied haws in one hand and pointing at Gu Fu with the other. There were four or five followers around him, each holding a snack in his hand.

There was still red sugar coating on the corners of the fat boy's mouth. He must have been chewing a candied haws. When he passed by and heard Fuer's words, he laughed out loud.

"Hey, where did you come from, kid? My daughter is talking to her own family, how does it bother you?" Gu Dahai spoke up to defend his daughter.

"That's right, what our sister wants to buy has nothing to do with you. It doesn't cost your family's money." Gu Yi also stepped forward and said.

The other guys all opened their eyes wide with anger and stood in front of Gu Fu and Old Man Gu with serious faces.

The fat boy was not afraid at all, and continued arrogantly: "Why is it none of my business? This Weng County belongs to me."

"You say it's yours, so it's yours? Tell them to close all the doors and see if they agree!" Gu Yi retorted unconvinced.

The little fat man raised his chin with pride, looked around at the Gu family with contempt, and sneered: "You country bumpkins are not worthy of shouting at this young master."

Old Master Gu's face darkened, he patted Gu Fu's back, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Fu'er, you have grandpa here."

Then he stepped forward and said to the little fat man, "Young Master, we are new here, so please forgive us if we have offended you. My granddaughter is still young, and it is just childish talk. Young Master is well-mannered and polite, so just laugh it off. There is no need to take it seriously. It would be disgraceful."

The little fat man refused to give in: "This young master just can't stand you guys pretending here..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Fu.

Gu Fu raised his head, looked directly into the little fat boy's eyes, and said in a childish but clear voice, "How do you know we can't afford it? "No comment without knowing the whole situation" is a principle that even a five-year-old child understands. I see that you are already a teenager, didn't your parents teach you that?"

The little fat man gritted his teeth and said angrily: "You, who are you talking about as a teenager? I am only nine years old..."

Gu Fu continued blinking innocently and pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah! You are already nine years old! You don't know as much as a five-year-old girl like me?"

As he spoke, he made an expression of sudden enlightenment and said, "Oh, I see. You must be the legendary [Guowenjun]."

All the boys in the Gu family burst into laughter when they heard this.

While laughing, he winked at the little fat boy, stuck out his tongue and made faces, while shouting: "Guowenjun~Guowenjun~"

The little fat man was so angry that he jumped up and down, and even dropped his candied haws. He said to the followers behind him: "Are you all dead? Didn't you see someone bullying your young master?"

The followers stepped forward carrying things, and the boys from the Gu family took a step forward without showing any weakness.

"Master Wu." Gu Yi shouted.

Master Wu also stood up, full of vigor, and the followers immediately became timid. They couldn't match him in numbers or momentum.

An attendant standing next to the little fat man leaned close to him and whispered in a low voice, "Young Master, have you forgotten that the master just released you from house arrest yesterday? We finally got out today, so we can't make a big fuss. Besides, you bought so many delicious foods to honor the old lady and the lady. You can't waste your time on these boastful peasants."

The fat man listened to his followers' words, and seeing that he could not gain any advantage, he pointed at the Gu family angrily and said, "Just wait for me, I will deal with you when I am free. I want to see if you can buy all the supplies from Weng County. Humph! Pretentious country bumpkins." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

With his chubby figure and four or five servants, he walked with great momentum.

"Pretentious [Uninformed]!" Gu Fu shouted from behind.

The kid from the Gu family also shouted in support. The little fat boy was so angry that he almost jumped up when he walked, but he didn't turn around to cause trouble. Instead, he quickened his pace.

The Gu family looked at the fat boy's departing back and shook their heads.

Gu Dahe said indignantly: "Whose child is this? He is so uneducated. Not only did he not listen to what we said, but he also made a scene for no reason. It's a waste of time."

Old Master Gu patted him on the shoulder and told everyone, "Don't worry about it. We should be more cautious and low-key in our work and words. Let's finish shopping and return to the mountain."

So the family continued walking towards the market.

Everyone went to the blacksmith shop first, and Gu Dahai customized a few bows.

Gu Dahe held his daughter in his arms and described the tools needed for root carving to the blacksmith master. After the communication, Gu Dahai and Gu Dahe paid the deposit respectively.

The blacksmith wrote a receipt and agreed to pick up the goods three days later. Then they left the blacksmith shop.

"Grandpa, since we can pick it up in three days, why don't we stay in the city for a few days?" Gu Fu suggested.

"Dad, this is a good idea. We have to rent an inn soon anyway, so we might as well rent it for a few more days and pick it up directly after three days. We don't have to come here specially to pick it up." Gu Dahai said with a silly smile.

The boys looked at each other, stepped forward and pulled on Grandpa Gu's sleeves, and asked expectantly: "Grandpa, we also want to stay a few more days, can we stay a few more days?"

Grandpa Gu looked at his grandchildren's expectant eyes, smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, then we'll stay a few more days, get the bows and arrows and carving tools, and then go back."

"Wow, yeah yeah"

"Great"

All the boys cheered.

The group came out of the blacksmith shop and prepared to find an inn.
