Chapter 473: Find a Restaurant to Take Action

Everyone in the temple was asleep. Zhou Guo thought about what happened today and what he would do tomorrow. He lay down on the haystack and fell asleep. He was so sleepy!

I didn't sleep much during the whole day and night, and I didn't get up early to practice that day.

When she woke up, it was already dawn. Except for Hu Zi and Zhou Cheng, everyone else was still sleeping.

She got up and saw that the people from yesterday had left at some point. After all, they did know each other. She even treated them to a basket of pine mushrooms. You know, that basket weighed at least 30 kilograms and could be sold for more than 40 coins!

Just got some fake news!

Fortunately, these people were not bad people and they escaped.

He moved his body, turned over and sat up, and suddenly something rolled down on his body.

She was stunned, picked it up and saw that it was actually a small gold ingot!

It’s so big, it must weigh two taels!

She looked around and there was nothing else. So was this small gold ingot left for her by those people?

How rude! Giving gold to everyone as a gift.

However, she liked it. The golden one was indeed much more beautiful than the white one, and she happily held it in her arms.

To be honest, just for that round face, she was willing to give out that basket of mushrooms for nothing, and she really didn't want to accept their things.

The people who had already gone down the mountain were also talking about it.

"Why give gold when you can give anything else? Who would give gold as a gift? Don't all little girls like jewelry and beads? At worst, you can take out the jade pendant in your arms and give it to her."

"You didn't say anything when I gave it to her, right? General, what's wrong with giving gold? And jewelry? She's not a rich girl, so giving gold is the most practical thing. What do you know?"

The general nodded and looked at the round-faced man and said, "I think he makes sense this time. If you give jewelry to others, they have to exchange it for money. How troublesome!"

Zhou Guo put away the gold, washed his face, woke everyone up, packed up and went down the mountain.

The dry food was finished last night, and I haven’t had breakfast yet, so I have to go into the city to eat.

Carrying so many goods, there is a risk that they will go bad if they stay for one more day. I have to try to sell all the goods today. I can stay in the dilapidated temple for one night and go home tomorrow.

When the group went down the mountain, the city gate had already been opened. There was a long queue at the entrance. They were all vendors carrying vegetables, rushing into the city to sell their vegetables.

She could see clearly from behind that anyone who brought goods into the city had to pay, even those who carried vegetables on their shoulders had to pay two cents.

Her heart sank immediately. She had four truckloads of goods and didn't know how much the city entrance fee would be.

Finally it was her turn. The city gate officer was stunned when he saw her. He looked back and saw Zhou Suli, who was younger than her. He looked back again and saw Zhou Cheng.

He looked at their convoy and frowned, "Outsiders, are these four cars yours?"

Zhou Cheng subconsciously glanced at Zhou Guo, then nodded, "To answer your Excellency, yes."

Several officers and soldiers stepped forward to take a closer look. Seeing that it was a cart full of wild mushrooms, they did not notice the big knife hidden under the cart, so they stopped.

The gate officer was satisfied and said, "I don't care where you come from, but when you get here, you have to pay the gate fee. I see you have so much cargo, so you have to pay more. Four carts, four strings of cash."

He stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the money."

"Four..." Zhou Cheng was so excited that he almost started arguing with him. Why should others only have two cents, but they have to pay four strings of cash?

Zhou Guo glanced over, took out four strings of money from the bag in front of him, stuffed it into his hand, and smiled, "Uncle Guan, can we go through?"

Such smiles were seldom seen by city gate officers, as they worked here all day long. Some were afraid of them and buried their heads when entering the city, while others were so proud of their status that they didn't even look at them. Some were very calm, going in and out quietly, and of course there were also fawning ones, but this was the first time they had met someone with such a beautiful and bright smile.

It was another child. His expression, which had been stiff because of Zhou Cheng's stubbornness, softened immediately. He waved his hand and said, "Come in."

Zhou Guo thanked them, took Zhou Su's hand, greeted Zhou Cheng and others, and urged the convoy to catch up.

Everyone who was watching secretly laughed.

The round-faced man looked very proud.

The square-faced man said, "No wonder you can be the leader of these people at such a young age. You must have some sense and know how to handle things."

"Okay, let's go."

Zhou Guo first took people to the vegetable market. Following the people picking vegetables, they easily found the market and chose a good location. After paying the money, the location was theirs.

She had the two carts unloaded, and took down the small stove, charcoal fire, and barbecue grill, as well as the seasoning bottles containing oil and salt. She taught Zhou Cheng and the other two step by step, and after telling them the price, she prepared to take Zhou Sulu and others with her to drive away with the remaining two carts.

The Zhou Cheng brothers were stunned, "Where are you going?"

Zhou Guo said, "Uncle, you'd better sell all the four carts of mushrooms today, otherwise they will be a waste of money soon. After all, they won't last long. You and Uncle Dashan will sell them here, and I'll take the rest and sell them somewhere else."

The two brothers thought she was taking them to set up a stall somewhere else, so they said, "Then go quickly. We need to sell as soon as possible and go back as soon as we are done. I miss home."

Zhou Guo took the remaining two cars and left.

Zhou Su held her hand and asked, "Sister, where are we going to sell it?"

Zhou Guo asked: "So what method should we find to sell these mushrooms quickly and in large quantities?"

Zhou Su frowned slowly, thinking, "If we want to sell more, we have to find rich people. Well, we have to find people with many families, so that they can eat it faster. For example, our family eats food faster than others, and we buy more each time. So, we should go to rich families to buy!"

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "That's a good idea, but let's go to a few big restaurants first. If they can't sell out, we can try the back door of a wealthy family."

In fact, the restaurant was easy to find. It was still early at this time, and there were people pushing carts of food on the road. I thought they were either delivering food to wealthy families or to restaurants.

She followed behind, and sure enough, after not long, after turning a few streets, they came to a street lined with restaurants. Among them, two restaurants were particularly eye-catching. They had two floors and were taller and more luxurious than the other buildings around them. They were obviously big restaurants.

Zhou Guo's eyes lit up, and he said to Hu Zi and the others, "Wait here, and be careful not to block the door."

First I went to the right.

He did not go to the back door, but walked in directly through the front door. To discuss business, of course it would be quicker to go directly to the shopkeeper, as he was the one with the decision-making power in the restaurant.

There were not many people in the lobby at this time. The waiters were still quickly tidying up the tables, chairs, benches and mopping the floor. When they saw Zhou Guo, a child, come in, no one came up to greet them.

She walked straight to the counter. The shopkeeper was looking down at the account book. When he saw someone coming, he glanced at her and lowered his head again.
