"Hmm..." Gu Xu thought of the scene that day and suppressed the corners of his mouth.

"Hey, but you, did they teach you martial arts? It wasn't just a formality..." Gu Yue had a look of doubt on his face, as Gu Xu usually didn't show off his martial arts skills.

"I've taught you. Don't worry." Gu Xu said, "It's no problem to keep you safe."

Gu Yue looked at him from the side.

The 15- or 16-year-old boy was malnourished and skinny at first, but after taking supplements for more than half a year, he has grown a lot taller. When he first wore it, he was only slightly taller than his ribs and was as thin as a chicken. Now... he has grown to his shoulders, and his body is strong from the outline under the tights.

The more I watch, the more satisfied I am. Is he a qualified male lead?

Now he can be considered to have completed his mission. Not only did he change Gu Xu's impression of him and resolve many misunderstandings, but he also helped him obtain important clues that would only appear in the future and find the final boss.

"Once things stabilize here, we can live a peaceful life." Gu Yue said.

The main plot points of the original text are concentrated after Gu Xu turned 20. In the early stage of the story, he and the prince had a long period of development. In these years, Gu Xu gradually conquered Wumen and got clues about Chaozhen Army. In the later stage, it was a tug-of-war with several princes.

"Well, you can take a break now." Gu Xu held his wrist, "I'll prepare something for you in a while."

"What is it?" Gu Yue was suddenly happy. He wanted to give a gift?

"Don't worry about it for now." Gu Xu said nothing.

……

After about twenty days of renovation, the new fried chicken shop opened.

Gu Yue imitated the modern way of opening a shop and made a balloon arch with bamboo frames. Of course, Beiqin didn't have balloons, so he bought some fancy-colored fabrics and tied them into pockets, stuffing them with cotton.

After seeing so many clothing artifacts unearthed from museums, Gu Yue originally thought that the dyeing in ancient times was darker, but after actually traveling here, he found that it was not the case. It is not ruled out that there are bugs in the setting of the fictional world. The colors of the fabrics here are really bright. For example, when Liuli Town first met Li Taohua, the pink gauze he wore was very close to the macaron pink of the present world.

In addition, orange, bright red, emerald green, crimson purple, and royal blue are also very bright colors, and they look really beautiful when paired with various exquisite embroidery.

Two flower baskets were also made, with large golden-red roses as flower heads, and jasmine, gardenia and crape myrtle as embellishments, the fragrance was intoxicating.

Two strings of firecrackers were set off, and a notice was posted, offering a white marble pendant to the first 100 customers who came to consume. White marble sounds nice, but it is actually marble. Gu Yue, Shi Sansiwu and Wumen mined it from a nearby mountain, and then cut and polished it using various methods to make pendants of various shapes.

The marble was hard, but that was no problem for a few skilled warriors.

Of course, it was shabby to have only a rough piece of stone, but Gu Yue was well aware of the ways of commodity fraud in the modern world. He placed a small screen with tulle embroidery, and a satin tablecloth with a ruyi pattern underneath. He gave each pendant of different shapes a hanging tag made of bamboo strips, on which were written the famous Beiqin poem by He Gui, and with a tassel, it looked very nice.

On the first day of opening, the fried chicken sold out immediately.

Most of them were old customers in the town, and each of them left happily with a pendant in their pocket. In order to separate the braised food from the fried chicken in advance, Gu Yue also posted a notice saying that the braised food would not participate in this event.

On this day, they prepared twice as much fried chicken, and it was all sold out. However, Gu Yue knew that the sales volume today was large because it was the store opening, and everyone came to support and celebrate.

Sure enough, on the second day of opening, fried chicken sales dropped by one third.

After all, it is not a staple food and the price is not very attractive. The majority of consumers are a few wealthy and official households nearby, and ordinary people do not eat it all day long.

The kids in the town’s school and martial arts academy are greedy and will also consume some.

But that’s about it.

Gu Yue looked at the sales volume in the first seven days of opening and thought that it was imperative to develop in big cities. There were geographical and population restrictions, and Jin Pai was not so famous that everyone in Beiqin knew about it. The supply and demand relationship was here, and it was inevitable.

Just as I opened my mouth to sigh, Gu Xu lifted the bamboo curtain and walked into the bedroom.

"Xiao Xu is back? I was just about to talk to you about the store." Gu Yue said.

"What's the matter?" Gu Xu walked to the table.

He Gui's report was placed on the table. The fan chart and line graph were drawn on rice paper. The lines were slender and delicate, and the trends of costs and profits were clear at a glance.

He Gui said that this was his own idea, but Gu Xu didn't believe it. All this gave him a very similar feeling to that of "Gu Dashi", but he also felt that it was reasonable for this man to ask He Gui to lie in order to avoid publicity.

After all, no one wants to be treated as an outlier.

Gu Yue talked about his future plans, including how to market and what categories to add when he opened a store in Luoyang... Gu Xu was in a daze for a moment and nodded: "I'll do as you say."

Did this guy really listen carefully? Gu Yue curled his lips in his heart. But it doesn't matter, Gu Xu doesn't have to worry about it, he can handle it with these employees.

"I have something to show you." said Gu Xu.

"What is it?" Gu Yue immediately looked at his hands. Was the gift ready? But when Gu Xu came in, he had nothing in his hands?

"It's a bit big and I can't carry it. Come with me." Gu Xu grabbed his wrist and led him out of the room.

Outside, Lu Junmei and the others were not there. They had already carried the fresh chicken into the store.

Shi San, Wu Feng and Wu Yun were waiting outside.

"What? What?" Gu Yue stretched his head and looked around. There was nothing in the yard?

"Let's go." Gu Xu said.

The four men sneaked over the wall and went out.

Is this to avoid outside eyes? Gu Yue was confused, but he cooperated.

A few people quietly went around the town and got on a carriage. The wheels rolled, and no one knew where it was going.

Gu Xu didn't ask, but Gu Yue still consciously didn't look outside, nor did he guess what it was, giving this surprise a sense of mystery.

Gradually, the sounds outside the carriage changed. Liuli Town was surrounded by fields, and the second season of corn had already been planted. Now, outside the carriage, there was the sound of wind blowing through leaves, and bursts of birds singing, and the wind blowing in from the slightly fluttering curtains was also cool.

In the mountains? Is it the Yishan Mountain next to Liuli Town?

Gu Yue was extremely curious. What on earth was it? What gift was in the mountain? A gold mine? It was illegal to open a gold mine privately, right?

"We're here." Wu Feng, who was driving the carriage outside, said. The carriage stopped.

Gu Xu got out of the car first, then opened the car curtain to pick up Gu Yue.

Gu Yue jumped out of the car.

In front of him was a small bamboo forest, surrounded by more trees. There was the sound of running water coming from the other side of the carriage. Gu Yue walked around the carriage and the scene in front of him made him open his mouth wide.
