So Gu Xixi handed over an even more advanced one, which Wei Chi took to test. Now, even the feathers of distant birds could be seen clearly!

"Young master, try this one!" Gu Xixi took out a military-grade telescope with a label that said it could see lunar craters. "If the previous ones don't meet your needs, then this one will definitely do. Moreover, this telescope is so far-reaching that it can see clearly even in the dark."

For military campaigns, it is an invaluable asset, especially in this day and age.

Wei Chi didn't have high hopes, but after just one glance at the distant mountains, he immediately looked at them again with his naked eye for comparison: !!

This thing can even be used at night... Darling, wonderful darling.

He gave the servants a look, and they immediately ushered all the people present out. "Please wait a moment, and come back in to buy things in half an hour. As compensation, our young master is willing to give each of you 10 coins."

Everyone left in high spirits.

I can earn an extra ten coins in just a little while, and I even get a free breakfast. It's wonderful!

The servant was standing guard at the supermarket entrance. Gu Xixi asked knowingly, "What are you doing, young master?"

"I just want to make a deal with the shopkeeper. I hope that no one else can buy these things before I come back next time. I'll give you one hundred taels of silver, and you give me one day. How about that?"

As Wei Chi spoke, he was reluctant to put the binoculars back, but held them in his hands like a treasure, looking at them again and again.

“I know this amount of silver is insignificant to you, young lady. But I am the son of the governor of Qingfeng County, which is not far away. I am the only buyer you can find in the vicinity. I would like to take the item back to my father first. If possible, your dream of getting rich will surely come true.”

"Oh?" Gu Xixi smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

She pondered for a moment, then looked up and pretended to struggle internally for a long time before agreeing, "Alright, then I'll give you one day. See you at this time tomorrow."

"As for the other things, young master, you can just take what you need from the shelf. Consider that flower my gift to you. As for this finest telescope, you know how valuable it is, and I rely on it for my livelihood, so I'll keep it for now."

He reached out and took the binoculars from Wei Chi's hand, then handed him a regular pair before continuing, "And As for the 'Hearing the Wind,' I don't think you're in the mood for testing today. How about we test them together tomorrow?"

Wei Chi nodded, his gaze still fixed on the binoculars in Gu Xixi's hand, reluctant to part with them.

He had to hurry back and inform his father so that they could take action as soon as possible.

So he went to the shelf and selected one of each item, plus a batch of self-heating rice and claypot rice, which brought him a total of 400 taels of silver. He added the 100 taels he had to pay for Gu Xixi's time for a day, and a total of 500 taels of silver notes were in Gu Xixi's hands.

Wei Chi had his servants load all the goods onto the carriage, and then he took out a golden token and handed it to Gu Xixi.

"Manager Gu, this is a token that allows you to freely enter and leave Qingfeng County. Consider it a return gift from me. Please do not refuse."

"In that case, it will be convenient for you to go into the city to handle your business. If you wish to find me, you can use this token to go to the Prefectural Governor's Office of Qingfeng County, where you will surely be able to meet me."

"Thank you." Gu Xixi took it, held it in her hand, and planned to leave the token to Shen Qingyan.

After Wei Chi left, the other villagers came in to continue their shopping that they hadn't finished earlier.

The first group of guests left a quarter of an hour later.

After waiting for a while, she came in from outside, saying, "Sister Gu."

"Sorry to keep you waiting," Gu Xixi handed her another milk: [Brother Tongzi, report the numbers. How many heads have we got so far?]

[58 people]

Wow, that's quite a lot. So many people have come in just half a morning.

However, it's understandable that many people are just looking for something new at the beginning.

"Cao Cao, I've checked. There were 58 customers this morning, all of whom are your customers, so I'll give you 58 coins. Add that to the 70 coins you made selling herbs earlier, and it'll be 128 coins in total."

As soon as Gu Xixi finished speaking, Cao Cao nodded happily.

She counted them herself just now, and only counted 5 groups of 10 people, which is probably fewer than what Sister Gu said.

But they're pretty much the same.

Sister Gu is amazing! She didn't even go with her to hand out flyers, yet she knew which customers came because of her.

"Sister Gu, I'd like to choose something else." Cao Cao immediately grabbed a shopping basket, picked out 3 jin of rice (16 x 3 = 48 wen), and a can of oil (72 wen). She had 8 wen left.

She took the remaining 8 coins in cash and then prepared to leave, carrying the oil and rice on her back.

Gu Xixi hurriedly called out to her, "Why are you running so fast? I have something to tell you. I was thinking that we would only know which customers were yours after all the guests had arrived each day, so from now on we will settle the bill for the previous day's customers the next morning."

"So, come as usual tomorrow morning, but the settlement has already been completed halfway through the day, so there probably won't be much money tomorrow morning. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Sister Gu, I know." Cao Cao paced back and forth like a cheerful bird, and Gu Xixi couldn't stop her.

As she approached Gu Xixi, her eyes lit up. Gu Xixi smelled so good and felt so soft. So she bent down and kissed Gu Xixi on the cheek.

After kissing her, he turned and ran away.

Gu Xixi: !!

This child is really... She turned around and saw Shen Qingyan staring at her blankly.

Realizing he had been discovered by Gu Xixi, he immediately turned his face away, stood up, and turned back again, pretending nothing had happened.

Gu Xixi: ……

She simply smiled and approached Shen Qingyan step by step, "Does Lord Shen know a saying?"

"What did you say?" Shen Qingyan avoided Gu Xixi's gaze.

"This is like trying to hide something obvious; it means someone did something wrong..." Gu Xixi stared at him, deliberately making it clear. Shen Qingyan looked back, self-righteous, still not daring to meet her gaze, "Never heard of it, but you are truly learned, Miss. I admire you."

"I don't believe you!" Gu Xixi rolled her eyes. A top scholar said she was learned?

Gu Xixi stopped playing and handed over the token Wei Chi had given her. "Here, take this. You and the teacher need it more than I do, and you might find it useful."

"Thank you, young lady." This time, Shen Qingyan didn't bow; she simply reached out and accepted the gift.

Gu Xixi handed over the things, and took the opportunity to continue to approach Shen Qingyan, "From now on, just call me Xixi. We've known each other for so long, why are you being so polite?"

A pair of bright eyes stared at her and then suddenly moved closer. Shen Qingyan took several steps back, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks.

Seeing Gu Xixi's determined gaze, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and call out, "Xi... Miss Xixi."
