Chapter 66: Selling deerskin, fighting again tomorrow!

Several men helped lift Gu Lianshan up and carried him onto the donkey cart.

Gu Tang thanked them one by one, pulled Gu Ping'an onto the donkey cart, and asked the driver to take them to Fu Ke Lai.

When they arrived at Fukelai, they asked the store staff for help and helped carry Gu Lianshan into the house to rest.

Drunk people are most likely to get thirsty, so Gu Tang asked his servant to bring in a stove and put a long-spouted kettle on it, and asked Gu Ping'an to take good care of it and ensure that there was always hot water to drink.

After all this work, dozens of copper coins were distributed.

Gu Tang's hands were loose, and he didn't even blink when he scattered the copper coins, which made Gu Ping'an so distressed that he kept crying.

"Take it easy, Dad is drunk and didn't see it. If he were awake, he would definitely accuse you of being a spendthrift if you were so generous!"

"How dare he!" Gu Tang glared, "Who am I giving away these copper coins for? Isn't it just to make Dad feel better?"

Speaking of this, Gu Pingan recalled what happened in the restaurant just now, "Second sister, what happened to you in the restaurant? How did you get Dad drunk for no reason?"

"Don't ask me about this, and don't tell Dad. Just take good care of Dad. I'm going out to buy some things."

As he spoke, Gu Tang took out a string of copper coins from his sleeve and handed it over, saying, "Take this string of money. If you need anything, just ask the waiter to get it. If the money is not enough, just keep it in mind and I will make up for it when I come back."

Taking the copper coin, Gu Pingan was a little worried: "Can you do it by yourself? Or why don't you go? Wait until Dad sobers up, and then we can go together?"

"Don't worry, I'm not far away. I'm just on the street next to the restaurant."

After saying this, Gu Tang turned and left.

Gu Ping'an stood at the door and watched for a while, feeling very worried.

Arriving at the lobby of the inn, Gu Tang asked the shop assistant and found out the location of the spice shop, then left the inn to look for it.

Just now she coaxed Gu Ping'an by saying that they were only going to the street next to the inn, and in fact she was right.

There are actually a few spice shops on the street next to the inn.

Following the address given by the shop assistant, Gu Tang soon arrived at the next street.

As she walked along, she did see four or five spice shops. She glanced around and chose one with little business to visit.

The spices here are not something that ordinary people can afford. Even if Gu Tang had 350 taels of silver from selling the deer, he could not afford a visit to the spice shop.

Therefore, she planned to pick the cheapest ones and buy one or two of them. After a few days, she would open them and hold them in her hands or scatter them on her body to sign in.

See if you can sign in something related to spices, for example, a lighter and a sewing set, and get a "spice gift pack that you'll never run out of". That would definitely be a huge profit!

Gu Tang thought about it more and more and stepped into the spice shop.

The shop was run by a plump young woman with a pleasant round face, but she was not good at talking and didn't like to talk to people.

Seeing a guest coming, she just smiled at Gu Tang and said stumblingly: "See, see if there is anything you like. If you want, just call me."

Then there was silence.

He sat there by himself, in a daze.

Tsk tsk! No wonder business is so slow, look, there's a reason for it.

Gu Tang shook her head. If she opened a shop in the future, she would definitely find a sweet-mouthed and smiling young man to help her.

After looking around the store, Gu Tang selected ten spices including sandalwood, perilla, cloves, cyperus rotundus, and musk.

Each item cost only one ounce. The woman did not think that Gu Tang asked for too little, and she patiently and carefully weighed and packed the spices one by one. In the end, she even gave Gu Tang a small change, only taking one ounce of silver from her.

After leaving the spice shop, Gu Tang couldn't help but look back. The shopkeeper was not bad, but he was a little tongue-tied and a little tactless.

The shopkeeper himself probably knew this as well, as he spoke very little throughout the entire process, only smiling at her ingratiatingly from time to time.

Well, it’s rare to meet such an honest person. If you need spices in the future, you can come here often.

After coming out of this street, Gu Tang turned into a dead end.

After looking around to make sure there was no one around, she placed her hand on an abandoned basket that was lying upside down on the ground.

Then transfer the deerskin from the system backpack into it, then take out the basket, pick up the deerskin and leave.

She found a familiar fur dealer and placed the deerskin in front of him for inspection.

"They are all sika deer of excellent quality, each hide is intact, and the tanning craftsmanship is also that of Kyoto. You are an old hand in this business, just check and see if I am right."

The fur dealer carefully looked over each deerskin and then smiled: "Miss Gu really thinks highly of me. She brought such good things here."

"Well? I'm not kidding you, am I? Just give me a fair price. If it works, all ten deerskins will be yours!"

Hearing this, the fur dealer's smile grew even wider, and he held up five fingers towards Gu Tang. "For the size, quality, and tanning skills of this fur, I'll give you five taels of silver per piece. How about that?"

Five taels per piece?

Gu Tang calculated silently and decided that this was a high price in the fur business.

"Okay! Five taels each! But I want cash!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I have cash!" As he said this, the fur dealer shouted into the store and asked the clerk to bring out fifty taels of silver.

The shop assistant was very quick and soon brought over fifty taels of silver.

The fifty taels of silver were not all silver ingots, there were also scattered silver coins in it. The fur dealer weighed the silver with a scale in front of Gu Tang.

After both parties confirmed that it was fifty taels, they exchanged the money for the goods.

After taking the silver, Gu Tang turned around and was about to leave.

The fur dealer reminded him, "Miss Gu, if you have such good furs in the future, just send them to me. I will definitely give you the highest price!"

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. If I don't sell it at a high price, do I have to sell it at a low price?"

Gu Tang replied with a smile, and without stopping, he soon left the fur shop.

After finishing these two things, the remaining things can be done after her father wakes up.

But that depends on tomorrow's sign-in results.

If everything goes well, after buying the house, I can go to the school to ask about Gu Ping'an's admission.

Of course, if things don't go well and she has to pay "ten cents" for signing in, she will have to find a way to delay for another day.

In order to ensure a smooth tomorrow, Gu Tang bought a bunch of incense to worship the gods and Buddhas before returning to the inn.

She didn’t sign in and pay money today, it must be because she didn’t burn incense today!

She will get up early tomorrow morning, light the incense, and then kowtow a few more times.

She just didn't believe it. Could she possibly earn ten coins by signing in every day?!

Gu Tang returned to the inn with great ambition and momentum.

He first reported to Gu Ping'an that everything was fine, then went back to the house to recuperate and fight again tomorrow!
