The cicada's voice was something he couldn't control.
Using mental power to control every cicada's chirping is too overbearing. Besides, that's not how his mental power is used.
Dahu came to Gu Huai with great interest that day to report on the progress of his and Yuan Qi's novel. He saw that Gu Huai's face had not been good since he entered the door.
He rarely saw Gu Huai unhappy, so he asked him carefully: "Master? Who made you unhappy?"
Gu Huai looked at him and had an idea.
He asked: "Dahu, do you want to make some money and share it with your family?"
Dahu's family is actually in good condition. Although it is not particularly good, it is considered outstanding in the village.
But he always wanted to grow up quickly, become a man, and then protect the people around him.
It can be said that Gu Huai's statement deeply moved him.
Dahu: "Master, what do you have in mind?"
Gu Huai whispered a few words to Dahu. Dahu nodded quickly and took note of it.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, when it was the hottest, the big tiger scurried up and down, catching all the cicadas on the trees and the cicadas outside.
He is good at this. As a child, when he had nothing to play with, he would grab cicadas from the tree and eat them. Not to mention, after roasting, they are sweet and taste pretty good.
But Dahu did not forget his master’s instructions.
What he wants is the cicada outside.
After giving Gu Huai a small bag of crawling cicadas, Dahu still didn't understand what he wanted to do.
Gu Huai looked at the crawling cicadas and remained silent for a long time.
He said: "What I want is the cicada's slough."
Dahu scratched his head: "What's the difference?"
Of course there is a difference.
The cicada slough is a medicinal material and can be sold in pharmacies, but the cicada is an insect and most people will not accept it.
Gu Huai: "Just do it."
Dahu nodded. Although he didn't know what Gu Huai wanted to do, it sounded very powerful.
So Dahu regained his strength and gave Gu Huai another bag of cicada sloughs in the evening.
"Master, can this thing really make money?"
Gu Huai didn't answer, just told him to keep working hard.
Dahu had no doubts and decided to work hard to become a wage earner.
Turning around, Gu Huai gave the bag of cicadas to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao didn't understand at all why Gu Huai would give her such a bag of insect shells. However, Gu Huai just told her to save some and take them to the drug store in the county to ask for the price.
He said: "Ah, if you can, you'd better go to the drugstore near Jinfeng Company. I think there will be better prices for you."
Xiao Xiao didn’t believe it.
Aren’t the prices at pharmacies all the same? Could it be that the pharmacies in Jinfeng are more expensive? Will they give her free money?
Believe it or not, but things must be done well. Not for anything else, just because Gu Huai gave me too much.
He gave himself two dollars!
Although the fare was included, she was able to save an extra dollar.
With this idea in mind, Xiao Xiao boarded the bus to the provincial capital five days later.
She did not rush to Jinfeng's pharmacy, but kept asking about the price on the way.
Some stores don't accept this kind of cicada slough, while others do, but the basic price is four cents a penny. She can make about seven or eight yuan by selling the ones she has.
Xiao Xiao already felt that this price was quite high.
Who knew this thing was so valuable?
Wherever they are, there are handfuls of these things that no one wants. Even if they are given to children to play with, they will not be interested in them.
Some even like to crush it and listen to the crisp sound.
Now it seems that the sound of cicadas falling apart is not the sound of money being thrown into water!
There happens to be a pharmacy next to Jinfeng Company.
The store is not big, and compared to the Jinfeng Company next to it, it looks like a mouse next to an elephant's feet.
It's just that when Xiao Xiao walked into this drugstore, he met someone he didn't expect to meet.
Lu Su didn't expect to meet her here either.
She smiled and greeted Xiao Xiao: "Kid, what a coincidence, I meet you again."
Xiao Xiao was a little nervous for no reason.
The broken wooden sculpture sold her for eighty yuan last time. Thinking back on it, she wouldn't regret it, right? What if she asked herself for money to go back now?
I don’t have that much money on me!
Xiao Xiao smiled awkwardly, wrapped the paper in his hand tightly, and said hello to Lu Su.
She walked up to the store owner with hands and feet, put the paper bag on the table, and asked: "Boss, let's see how these are sold."
The boss opened a paper bag and took a look. It was in good condition and he gave it a price of four cents.
Xiao Xiao was a little disappointed.
She said, the prices are not the same everywhere? Only A Gu still chooses the place to sell things.
Next to him, Lu Su saw Xiao Xiao frowning and looking unhappy, so he couldn't help but said: "Our company will approve some medicines recently. You are close to our company, so why not get the goods from you nearby in the future? This little girl is
My distant cousin’s child, you give her an honest price.”
The drugstore owner disagreed: "This is already very honest. For the sake of my children, I didn't lower the price too much."
Lu Su: "I am the boss of Jinfeng Company next door."
Pharmacy owner: "Little girl, can you think of eight cents?"
Xiao Xiao: "..."
Pharmacy owner: "Little girl, this is already the highest price I can offer here. If you pay any more, I will lose money."
Xiao Xiao's eyes almost straightened. He nodded quickly, gave the paper bag to the drugstore owner, and turned to leave.
After the boss counted the money, he saw Xiao Xiao was about to leave the door and shouted: "Hey! Little girl, you still haven't confiscated your money!"
Xiao Xiao stiffly came over to get the money, thanked Lu Su again, and then planned to leave.
Fifteen dollars.
She actually gained so much during this trip!
Ah Gu is really a god! Could it be that he is really good at calculating and was a god in his previous life?
Walking to the door, Xiao Xiao felt something was wrong again.
Turning around, he said to Lu Su: "Aunt Lu, thank you for today. How about I treat you to some wontons?"
Anyway, she can spend two dollars on her own this time, so eating wontons shouldn't be a big problem.
Lu Su shook his head: "How can I let you treat me to a meal? Otherwise, it's still early, so you and I can go to my company's cafeteria to have something to eat."
Xiao Xiao was even more embarrassed. Just when he was about to refuse, Lu Su smiled: "At this time, there should be French fries."
Xiao Xiao licked her lips and followed Lu Su.
It would be good to go eat something. She also went to Uncle Gu's canteen. The food was good and the prices were fair. She would just pay when the time came. It would be the same wherever she ate.
Thinking about it, Xiao Xiao's mouth secreted more saliva.
But what are French fries? Do they taste the same as fried shrimp?
When Lu Su saw her holding his hand, he couldn't help but said: "In addition to French fries, there are also hamburgers. I'll ask someone to add an extra beef patty for you."
Seeing how skinny this kid is, he must not have eaten anything good.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiao suddenly stopped leaving.
She stood there, holding Lu Su's hand without letting go, but with tears in her eyes: "Aunt Lu, you are not a flower girl, are you?"
After hearing this, Lu Su couldn't help but laughed.
