Chapter 144

With the help of a kind-hearted man to make the first business, the rest will be much smoother.

The people who actually come to buy are all knowledgeable about the goods and don't say much. They just ask for the price and buy two, five, or ten catties.

A few women here and there also bargained for the price, but after asking for a few words to no avail, they also bought it.

Just before noon, their dried fungus was sold out.

Yuan Man's small basket was also filled with copper plates, and it made a clattering sound when he scooped it up with his hands.

Yuan Wu and Fang Ping were both extremely happy. It was the first time for them to touch so many copper coins.

What's more important is that they earned it themselves.

Yuan Manzi began to count carefully, and found a total of two hundred and seventy-five cents.

The uncle over there kindly gave me a straw rope and asked Yuanman to string it together so that it could be counted.

Yuanman made five strings of fifty characters and one string of twenty-five characters.

Fang Ping only picked fungus for one morning in the past few days, so the fungus she picked only weighed five kilograms after drying, which could be sold for twenty-five cents.

So the small bunch of copper coins was given to her.

Fang Ping put it into her small backpack and was so happy that she couldn't see her teeth.

She laughed happily and said: "I didn't expect that I could make so much money by doing business on my own! I'll treat Aman and Brother Wu Zi to something delicious later, okay?"

Fang Ping was as generous as ever.

Yuan Man smiled and said: "If you want to treat me, we will treat you. We earn more than you."

In this way, she can return the favor to the original person.

Yuan Wu also nodded and said: "Yes, please treat Uncle Li to eat something again, we are all grateful to him!"

They found stalls for them and asked people to take care of them. As an elder in the same village, he did a good enough job, which made Yuanwu very grateful.

Yuanman nodded, then looked at the kind uncle who was greeting the guests for business, and whispered to them: "There is also an uncle over there who helped us a lot!"

Yuanwu and Fang Ping both nodded in agreement, and the three children hit it off immediately and planned to give the remaining fungus, less than half a catty, to the kind uncle at the stall next door.

It's hard to sell the remaining bits and pieces, and the other thing is that people really take good care of them.

So Yuan Wu and Fang Ping packed up their things and waited for Uncle Li to come. Yuan Man lowered his head and planned to gather the remaining dried fungus together and tell the uncle to pour it into the basket on his back.

As a result, someone suddenly stopped in front of him, and Yuan Man said without raising his head: "It's out of stock today. We will come over and set up a stall next time we are lucky."

She thought they were the people who had been called over by relatives and friends just now to help.

Finally, I heard a nice young voice with a smile, "Isn't there something more?"

The voice was somewhat familiar. Yuanman looked up and saw Zhou Yu standing in front of her stall, and Liu Guang behind him with a bright smile, leaning slightly towards her to say hello.

"Ah, it's you." Yuanman reacted, stood up and said with a smile, "What a coincidence."

"Well, what a coincidence." Zhou Yu also laughed. In fact, it was not a coincidence. He was still in school today. It was all because the old gentleman was very knowledgeable. He wanted to listen to his class carefully again, but he always felt that listening to it again now would

Quite an epiphany.

As a result, Liu Guang came over and reported that the whistle saw Yuan Man and the others coming to town again, so he hurriedly asked for leave and slipped out under the strange eyes of the old gentleman.

Zhou Yu was completely satisfied.

Over there, Yuan Wu and Fang Ping stopped talking and became restrained.

Zhou Yu seemed to be aware of their discomfort, but because he wanted to chat with Yuanman, he smiled kindly at them, and said to Yuanman: "Sell me the rest of yours, you can also

Go back early."

It will be sunny during this time of year, and the sun will be even stronger at noon. He wants her to go back quickly. To be honest, if he hadn't had something important to do at noon, he would have wished the sun would be stronger so that he could have a reason to invite them.

Go sit in a teahouse.

Yuanman didn't know the little thoughts of the person in front of him, he just sighed that this guy was still as kind-hearted as ever.

Yuan Man had a deeper impression of Zhou Yu, but she was also in a dilemma. She thought about the little coat he lent her before, and also thought about the uncle who helped her.

Finally he said, "I'm afraid it won't work. The uncle next door helped us a lot when we came here in the morning. I plan to give the rest to him."

She thought about it and gave the remaining dried fungus to the uncle.

Zhou Yu's family definitely doesn't lack these things, and he wants to buy her things just to help her.

And if she wants to repay the favor, she might as well repay him something else. I don’t know if she can still meet the uncle in the future.

Zhou Yu heard the old man looking at the old man who was greeting the customers over there, and said with a clear smile: "I also wanted to do you a favor. Since these leftover goods have a destination, you should go back early, and the sun will be better later."

It’s intense.”

The concern in the young boy's tone was not concealed, but revealed his true feelings.

"Well, we are planning to go back now. By the way, what about you? Why are you here?"

Yuanman responded with a smile to his kindness, with a bit of doubt in his tone.

According to what that boy Hua Chengen said, shouldn't he be in the academy at this time?

Today is not a day off for their college.

Zhou Yu was obviously very happy with Yuan Man's concern. He said, "I have something to do when I go out." As for him skipping class and coming to see her, he couldn't mention it at all.

The two of them just talked for a few words indifferently, as if they were friends who met by chance.

Liu Guang lamented in his heart that his young master was rushing all the way just to see her and was afraid of missing them. It was really difficult.

Zhou Yu was very restrained, knowing that Yuan Man had a sensitive temperament and being too aggressive would make her defensive. In this life, boiling frogs in warm water was the best way to pursue a wife, so he left with Liu Guang without a few words of conversation.

He thought in his mind that next time they met, he should be able to invite her to play together or introduce shops to her, so as to save her from the exposure of setting up a stall on the street.

Upon seeing this, Yuanman suppressed his desire to treat him to something to eat and watched them leave with a smile.

She sighed and said that she should return the favor next time she gets the chance.

After sending the master and servant away, Yuanman gave the remaining fungus to the old man, which made the old man refuse repeatedly, but Yuanman and Yuanwu insisted, so he accepted it.

He threw the copper coins given by the guest into the money basket, then remembered something and said with a curious smile: "Little girl, I just saw you chatting with the young master of the Zhou family. Do you know each other?"

Yuan Man was sitting down and waiting for Uncle Li to come and pick them up. Hearing the uncle ask this, he smiled vaguely and said, "We met several times a few days ago and we exchanged a few words."

The uncle saw her pretty appearance and thought of the temperament of the boy from the Hua family. Those children often get together. Knowing one of them is equivalent to knowing a group of them. He didn't find it strange that they knew each other. He just smiled and said: "

The Zhou family is quite nice. Our ancestors were originally poor and were very kind to us. They don't have the temperament of rich people at all."

He didn't stop talking and continued to talk to the Zhou family.

From the story of how the ancestors of the Zhou family got rich to the current situation of Zhou Yu's generation.

Yuanman learned from the uncle that Zhou Yu's family had a pretty good background.

His grandfather was one of the first merchants to go overseas to exchange goods after the opening up of maritime trade.
