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

"We want to buy all the books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones in your store. How much do you want?" Mr. Gu repeated.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this, but looking at Mr. Gu's clothes, he didn't look like someone who could afford to pay. "Are you serious, sir? Please don't make fun of me."

Mr. Gu said helplessly: "Since I came to ask, I must want to buy it. Why would I come to tease you? If you want to sell it, just count the money."

Gu Fu also took out a delicate, small and chubby gold ingot from his sleeve, or actually from the space, and played with it in his hand.

When the shop owner saw the gold ingots in Gu Fu's hand, which were plump and cute, he quickly stopped questioning and was overjoyed. He thought that he had met a low-key wealthy customer today. Ordinary wealthy families would not treat gold ingots as toys for young children to play with.

The shop owner changed the subject and said, "Sir, is there anything particular about this book? Do you want to pick a part of it or all the books in my shop?"

Mr. Gu said, “All of them.”

The shop owner hurriedly bowed with a smile and said, "Thank you for taking care of our business. Please wait a moment while I check the inventory. Waiter, serve the tea! Good tea! Here to entertain our distinguished guests." As he spoke, he bowed and made a gesture of invitation.

Everyone sat down at the table near the window, and the waiter served tea. The owner took out a few notebooks and flipped through them while his fingers flew quickly, calculating on an abacus.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the owner had calculated everything and written down the order.

He walked in front of the Gu family, bowed happily and said, "Sir, I have calculated that all the items in the store are worth 565 taels of silver. Since you are a big customer, I will charge you 560 taels."

Without saying anything, Mr. Gu took out 560 taels of silver ingots and 6 taels of silver and handed them to the shopkeeper. These were taken out from the space and given to Mr. Gu by Gu Fu when he was not paying attention while drinking tea.

As early as when the shopkeeper made the first calculation, Gu Fu had already figured it out and took out the money early and gave it to grandpa.

Old Master Gu bowed to the store owner and thanked him: "Thank you, boss. But I would like to trouble you to find someone to take me to Qingfeng Courtyard of Yunlai Inn. You can consider this as your hard work fee. Oh, by the way, enter from the back door, there will be someone waiting there to lead you to the courtyard where we live." Old Master Gu said this while looking at the store owner.

The shopkeeper took the money and returned the favor, saying, "Sure, sure. I'll arrange it right away. Here's the list of items, please keep it."

Mr. Gu said, "Okay, I'll trouble you from now on. Let's go shopping somewhere else first."

"Okay, okay, you're busy, I'll make sure to arrange it for you." The owner assured.

Old Man Gu nodded, still holding Gu Fu, and taking his daughter-in-law and grandson with him, the family continued shopping.

After sending the Gu family away, the shop owner secretly rejoiced in his heart. This was a considerable sum of money. Not only did he not lose a cent, he even got one or two taels for free. He only needed to find someone to deliver the money for a hundred or so coins at most, and the rest was all his.

He quickly ordered, "Waiter, go call a few people to pack up all the books, writing brushes, inkstones, and paper in the store. Send them to the Qingfeng Courtyard of Yunlai Inn."

The waiter said, "Okay, boss. I'll do it right away."

The shop owner thought for a moment, then quickly stopped the waiter who was about to leave and said, "Remember to enter through the back door! This family is dressed so simply, they definitely don't want to be high-profile. Be low-key when you send them off."

Waiter: "Okay, boss, don't worry."

I went to ask someone to pack and organize things, and I got busy.

As for Mr. Gu, he left the bookstore holding his granddaughter in his arms, feeling extremely happy. No one would think that there are too many books, especially Mr. Gu who still hopes his grandson will become a successful person.

Then they went to the cloth shop and the clothing store. Everywhere they went was empty.

Several cloth shop owners were so happy that they couldn't suppress their smiles, wondering what kind of philanthropist came from who to clear out all the stocks that had been held back for years at once.

When seeing off the guests, everyone bowed their heads to the ground, attracting the shop owners from the surrounding shops to come out and watch.

But all the shopkeepers knew that they could make a fortune in silence. When faced with the inquiries from their neighbors, they just laughed it off. When they returned to the shop, they told their employees to keep a low profile, pack up the goods and quietly deliver them.

Mr. Gu felt that the time was about right, and told Master Wu, "Master Wu, send a signal to Zhiying and Zhixing, and ask them to wait at the back door for the delivery. Then take them to put the things in the room in the courtyard first. Try to avoid people."

Master Wu said, "It's the old master. Zhiying, Zhixing is in place."

"Okay." Mr. Gu felt relieved.

At this time, brothers Gu Dahai, Gu Dajiang and Gu Dahe also came over.

The three of them told each other the prices they had inquired about.

"The highest price offered by Huichuntang is two taels of silver for one, and four taels of silver for a pair." Gu Dahai said.

"Xinglintang also offered a price of two taels per stick." Gu Dajiang said.

"Baohetang offers one and a half ounces per stick. Take as many as you can," said Gu Dahe.

Gu Dahai added, "Huichuntang said the same thing. We'll take whatever you have. According to their owner, they have branches in other counties."

"Dad, which one do you think we should choose?" Gu Dahai asked for Mr. Gu's opinion.

"Just sell it to Huichuntang. The amount of our deer antlers should be nothing in the eyes of those people who specialize in collecting medicinal herbs." Grandpa Gu said.

The family has never disagreed with Mr. Gu's decisions.

So the family followed Gu Dahai to Dongshi.

When they arrived at the East Market, everyone went straight to Huichun Hall.

As soon as everyone reached the door, the shopkeeper saw Gu Dahai at a glance and guessed why he came.

He hurried out to receive her in person, and as he walked out of the door, he laughed and bowed, saying jokingly, "Oh, Brother Gu, we meet twice in one day. Isn't this a deliberate arrangement by God?"

"Hahaha, maybe you and I have a tacit understanding. God can't bear to see my brother Song go away for this day." Gu Dahai also responded with a smile, and the atmosphere instantly became warmer.

Shopkeeper Song looked at Mr. Gu and asked Gu Dahai, "I guess this is your uncle. How polite! Please come in." As he spoke, he bowed and finally made a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you, thank you. Please, please." Mr. Gu also responded with a smile.

Everyone entered Huichun Hall in a lively manner and was taken directly to the backyard by Shopkeeper Song.

After introducing each other, everyone sat down and served tea. Then Shopkeeper Song asked, "Brother Gu, are you here to sell the deer horns to our Huichuntang?"

Gu Dahe put down the teacup and said, "That's right, Brother Song, please ask someone to find my Master Wu to move all the antlers on the cart in so that Brother Song can check them."

Shopkeeper Song called his attendant over and asked him to help bring in the deer antlers.

As a result, three large bags of deer antlers were carried into the backyard.

Shopkeeper Song was surprised and asked, "Brother Gu, may I ask if all the items here are deer antlers?"

"Yes. These are all we have. Please check them, Brother Song." Gu Dahai said a little awkwardly.

Shopkeeper Song was shocked when he saw it. You know, although the medicinal value of deer antlers is not as high as that of velvet antlers, it is also very rare.

Getting deer antlers requires going deep into the mountains and forests, which is full of dangers and requires a lot of manpower and resources. When I heard Gu Dahe say that he still had some at home, I didn't take it too seriously, thinking that having one or two pairs would be enough.

Now that he suddenly saw so many of them, it was as if deer antlers were cabbages that could be found everywhere, and he began to pay more attention to this family in his heart.
