The peasant woman quickly calculated that the entire village had been preparing for a mass exodus th

Shen Ming quickly pulled his hand away from Zhao Taohua's.

Everyone else kept their distance from him because they thought he was a jinx, but she was not only unafraid, she even held his hand...

Zhao Taohua rubbed her palms together with a slight sense of regret, and the charging was paused.

But it's okay, the person is right next to us, there will always be an opportunity~

She looked at the two amulets she had drawn, which had dried in a short while. She folded them into triangles, took one out, and handed it to Ms. Qian.

"Mother, if you wear this, it will protect you from evil spirits and ensure your safety and well-being."

Madam Qian waved her hand repeatedly, pushing the amulet back into her hand: "You only drew two amulets, and you haven't even opened a business yet. It's not appropriate to give one to your mother."

"If you want to give it to Mother, you can draw another one for her later. Mother isn't in a hurry."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Taohua followed Qian's advice and placed the amulets back on the old cloth. The two yellow amulets were not conspicuous on the old cloth.

Zhao Taohua noticed that Shen Ming and Qian Shi simply stood in front of their stall and waited for customers to come in, without making any noise or promotion.

Although there were many people coming and going on the street, most of them hurried away and hardly anyone stopped to look at their goods.

How does this work?

When will this ever sell?

Zhao Taohua immediately stood up and shouted to the passersby, "Good news, good news!"

Friends passing by, fellow villagers, come and take a look! If you want to buy handkerchiefs, purses, or sachets, come here. They are exquisitely designed, soft to the touch, and have superb embroidery. The quality is outstanding!

For the same price, we offer the best quality; for the same quality, we offer the lowest price. Buy with confidence and use with peace of mind!

Zhao Taohua's sudden shout startled Shen Ming and Qian Shi, who were standing beside her. Passersby who were about to walk away all turned to look at them.

Ms. Qian was extremely embarrassed, so ashamed that she gripped the ground with her toes.

The things she embroidered were nowhere near as good as Peach Blossom described; Peach Blossom was clearly exaggerating!

Just as Madam Qian lowered her head in embarrassment, she suddenly heard someone ask the price: "How much is this handkerchief?"

Qian quickly and subconsciously replied, "Two large coins."

The young woman who had inquired about the price picked up the handkerchief and examined it from both sides before saying earnestly, "It is indeed of better quality than what others sell for the same price."

A happy smile appeared on Qian's face. She never rushed or cut corners when making things; she would only stop when she was satisfied with the result.

"Beautiful lady, you have such good taste! That light pink handkerchief suits you perfectly, making your face look like a peach blossom. If you were to add a pink sachet, it would be even more perfect!"

As Zhao Taohua spoke, she presented the other person with a pink sachet in both hands.

Whether it was the lifelike embroidered butterflies on the sachet or Zhao Taohua's sweet words, the young lady was so happy that she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth.

"Okay, I'll take both of them!"

When Qian looked at the seven large coins she had received in her palm, she was so excited that she could hardly contain herself. She had opened for business so quickly!

Two items were sold at once?

How much is this purse?

"I'd like a handkerchief!"

Zhao Taohua kept calling out her wares, and gradually, many people gathered in front of her stall to buy her embroidery. Most of them would buy one or two items after seeing them, and Qian was overjoyed.

This was the first time in all her years of running a stall that she had sold so smoothly.

Seeing that she had already attracted a lot of people, Zhao Taohua pressed her advantage and said, "Don't miss out! Come and see the fresh wild rabbits, pheasants, and wild boars that we just hunted from the mountain. They're freshly caught and sold on the spot, and they're delicious!"

Stir-fried or stewed, this dish is great for the elderly, making them incredibly healthy. Children who eat it grow taller and smarter; they'll surely become successful scholars someday!

As Zhao Taohua spoke, she gave everyone a thumbs-up, which made the women buying embroidery and the men and women passing by all beam with joy.

That's great! Eating her prey will make you pass the imperial examination?

Shen Ming was stunned by Zhao Taohua's words: "???"

Wasn't the prey he hunted just ordinary game from the mountains?

How can eating this have so many effects? She even mentioned that it can help people pass the imperial examinations and become scholars!

However, seeing how enthusiastically and spiritedly she spoke, a barely perceptible smile flashed across Shen Ming's eyes.

"Little girl, since you're so good at saying auspicious things, I'll have a pheasant and a rabbit!"

"I'll have one of each!"

Seeing this, Zhao Taohua quickly said, "Okay, everyone, no rush, let's weigh them one by one!"

As Zhao Taohua spoke, she took the opportunity to pull Shen Ming's hand and asked him to weigh the animals for the older women and men. She then quickly made a hand seal to remove all the evil energy that Shen Ming had tainted from the prey.

In no time, the dozen or so pheasants and rabbits were sold out.

A middle-aged man dressed in a dark gray cloth robe and wearing a black square headscarf walked over and asked, "Is this a wild boar?"

"Uncle, you have a great eye! This is a wild boar cub that we just hunted down from the mountain. It's absolutely delicious!"

Zhao Taohua looked up and replied with a smile upon hearing the voice.

However, when her gaze fell on the man's wrist, she saw a black and red rope—the thread of fate.

However, it's a matchmaking story involving a vengeful ghost, and his partner is a vengeful ghost.

Wei Jianfeng picked up the wild boar and weighed it in his hand. It must have weighed fifty pounds. Without hesitation, he asked Zhao Taohua to weigh it for him.

After Wei Jianfeng paid, Zhao Taohua asked, "Uncle, would you like to buy another amulet?"

It can protect you from evil spirits and keep you safe and sound.

One hundred coins each, one hundred coins won't make you lose out, you won't be cheated!

Upon hearing this, Wei Jianfeng waved his hand seriously; he didn't believe it!

A hundred coins could buy several kilograms of wild boar meat; there's no need to waste money on this useless piece of paper.

Thinking about it, Wei Jianfeng looked at Zhao Taohua and was surprised to find that this little girl was a charlatan who was swindling people on the street.

It seems I can't buy her prey again next time.

Just as he was about to turn and leave with the little wild boar, he suddenly heard Zhao Taohua ask:

"Uncle, have you been dreaming a lot lately about a woman dressed in a bright red wedding gown appearing in your dreams, and she wants to get married to you?"

Having finally found a potential customer today, Zhao Taohua was determined not to give up. She was determined to sell the amulet so that she could recoup the cost of the tools she had bought.

Upon hearing Zhao Taohua's words, Wei Jianfeng turned to look at her in disbelief: "How did you know?"

Was it a fluke?

Wei Jianfeng had doubts: Could this be a common deceptive tactic used by charlatans?

A glint of light flickered in his eyes as he stared at Zhao Taohua, trying to discern something.

“Uncle, although I am not old, I am proficient in Taoist magic. After you put on this amulet, that evil spirit will no longer be able to haunt you.”

Zhao Taohua was telling the truth; she genuinely meant well for him.

Once he's dragged to the wedding ceremony by the vengeful ghost bride, he'll be a person of the underworld.

Looking at Zhao Taohua's innocent face, Wei Jianfeng thought, "This little girl is only fourteen years old, yet she has already developed the ability to make the fake seem real..."

"Thief! Stop thief!"

Just as Zhao Taohua and Wei Jianfeng were talking, she suddenly noticed a hand quietly taking the purse from Wei Jianfeng's waist, and she immediately shouted.
