บท 6: Making Money
The next morning, the academy held an opening ceremony as in previous years. Near noon, Huo Yuhao sneaked out of the auditorium and walked out of the academy. Not long after he walked, a crisp voice rang out.
"Yuhao, what are you going to do?"
Huo Yuhao glanced at the little girl who had been following him quietly from the beginning, and sighed helplessly.
"I'm going to sell grilled fish to earn a living."
"Okay, okay, I want to go too!"
Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Huo Yuhao expectantly. I just don't know if she's going to help sell or help eat. Huo Yuhao, who was in a hurry, did not refuse, and his steps did not pause at all.
"Then you have to help, I'll pay you a salary."
Xiao Wu cheered when she heard that there was grilled fish to eat and money to get.
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up, I can't wait."
As she said that, she grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm and walked out quickly.
After leaving the academy, the two made a simple division of labor. Huo Yuhao gave some money to Xiao Wu to buy a grill and iron rack from the blacksmith shop in the city, and he went to find a vendor to buy fish.
"Boss, how much is the black carp?"
"Little boy, are you buying fish? Two copper coins for one. They were just caught this morning. Take a look. They are very fresh."
Huo Yuhao nodded. The price was not high. "Then give me thirty. Help me process them."
Seeing that he was a big customer, the boss smiled and gave Huo Yuhao a discount.
"Five silver soul coins will be fine."
After slaughtering and cleaning the internal organs, he used thatch to thread the fish and looked at Huo Yuhao, a little puzzled.
"Young man, how are you going to take so many fish?"
Huo Yuhao slapped his head. "It seems that I have to make a storage soul guide as soon as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome if there are too many things."
When he was standing in front of the vendor and was a little at a loss, he turned around and saw Xiao Wu walking towards him, looking around. I think she was looking for him, and she was pushing a half-person-high oven in her hand. Huo Yuhao waved his hand quickly so that Xiao Wu would notice him.
Seeing Huo Yuhao, Xiao Wu smiled and quickened her pace to push the oven over.
"Yuhao, the uncle in the blacksmith shop praised me for my beauty, gave me a discount, and gave me a lot of charcoal."
Before she even came up to him, Xiao Wu told him her story with a proud look on her face. She looked at Huo Yuhao expectantly, pouting her lips slightly, and her meaning was very clear, why don't you praise me quickly? Huo Yuhao looked at the coquettish Xiao Wu and found it a little funny.
"Luckily you came with me this time, otherwise I couldn't take this fish by myself. I'll give you the first grilled fish later."
"Hehe, then I want to eat two!"
With Xiao Wu joining them, the two of them carried the fish and pushed the grill slowly on the street. Huo Yuhao looked around, trying to find a better place to set up the stall, while Xiao Wu was curious about everything and looked around.
"That's it."
Huo Yuhao found a satisfactory location and stopped with Xiao Wu. He then set up the grill, mixed the seasonings and basil he brought with him, stuffed them into the fish's belly, and pierced them with bamboo sticks. The stove was not big and could only grill four fish at a time. He lit the fire with ease, put the grilled fish on the rack and started grilling.
Skillfully observing the heat, the grilled fish was constantly turned over, and after a while, a rich aroma wafted out, attracting the curious eyes of passers-by and vendors. Xiao Wu saw that everyone was looking over and shouted loudly.
"Selling grilled fish~ Delicious grilled fish~ Guaranteed to make your tongue go into your stomach!" (TN: I tried asking Aria what this idiom meant, and it said to not hold back one's criticism or opinion, but that wouldn't fit in this context so IDK. It could be that in this context, it is too good that it can't be criticise)
Soon, a man with a somewhat gorgeous outfit came to the stall.
"Little friend, how much is the grilled fish?"
"Ten copper coins per piece, sir, would you like to try one?"
"It smells delicious, I'll try two first." The man smiled and nodded, handing over two silver coins.
After signaling Xiao Wu to take the money, Huo Yuhao looked up and smiled at the man, "It will be ready soon."
After a while, the four fish were grilled. Huo Yuhao handed them to Xiao Wu and the man respectively. The passers-by looked at the man. The golden grilled fish was dotted with red seasoning, and the aroma was fragrant. The man hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth and bit down. The crispy fish skin made a crackling sound, followed by the tender fish meat, with the unique fragrance of basil echoing in his mouth.
The man's eyes widened, and he didn't care to talk. He ate with big mouthfuls. With his other hand, he made a two to Huo Yuhao and asked for two more!
The onlookers also rushed up, "Little brother, I want two too!" "I want one too!" "Give me four!"
"Don't worry, everyone, I only have 26 left, everyone line up first come first served."
Huo Yuhao responded with a smile and winked at Xiao Wu who was wolfing down the fish.
Xiao Wu understood. Although she couldn't stop talking, she collected the money very quickly. The grilled fish was very popular. In the blink of an eye, Huo Yuhao had grilled the last two, attracting competition from passers-by who were bidding higher.
"I'll pay four silver coins for each fish!"
Xiao Wu's eyes widened. Is there such a fool? Then she looked at Huo Yuhao with a look of help. Huo Yuhao shook his head and did not raise the price maliciously. This also touched the passers-by who were in the next position, and they insisted on buying the last two grilled fish at double the price.
"Little brother, you know how to keep your word at such a young age. This is what you deserve. Take it. I'll come again tomorrow!"
Huo Yuhao couldn't resist and had to thank him and accept it.
"Closing the stall!"
Xiao Wu waved her arms happily, celebrating today's big sales. Huo Yuhao also smiled. It was so popular on the first day. It seems that we can increase the number of fish appropriately in the future.
"Yuhao, this is what we earned today. Look! It's three gold soul coins!"
Xiao Wu was so excited to see so much money for the first time. She spread her hands to show her income today, and then pushed her hands to signal Huo Yuhao to take it. Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, took all the change and some of the silver soul coins, and left ten silver soul coins lying quietly in Xiao Wu's hand.
"Here are your. You've worked hard today."
"Ah? So much? I just shouted twice, I didn't help much."
After Wang Sheng's teaching, Xiao Wu already had a concept of money. She knew that what she had in her hand was the income of an ordinary family for two or three months. Huo Yuhao pushed his hand back and looked up at Xiao Wu with clear eyes.
"Without you today, I can't sell so many fish. Besides, the blacksmith shop gave you a discount for your sake. You deserve it."
"Next time I sell grilled fish, I'll need your help. Of course, you'll have enough grilled fish, haha."
After saying that, Huo Yuhao lowered his head and continued to clean up the oven. Xiao Wu looked at Huo Yuhao in a daze. She tightened the silver coins in his hand.
"Yeah."
It was still afternoon. After leaving the grill at the blacksmith shop, Huo Yuhao took Xiao Wu for a walk. Seeing that Xiao Wu is walking in front of him, holding his hand and looking around curiously, Huo Yuhao showed a faint smile on his face. Whether in the past life or now, Xiao Wu's attitude towards him is very friendly. Her simple and playful personality also brought Huo Yuhao a lot of smiles in the God Realm of the previous life. After passing by a couple of stall, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up at one stall in particular.
"Hey. Boss, how much is this stone?"
Huo Yuhao picked up a blue stone the size of his little finger, and there was another stone of the same size next to it.
"I also think those two stones are beautiful, so I put them up to see if anyone likes them. If you want, take a silver coin!"
Huo Yuhao nodded, paid two silver coins, and put the two small stones in his pocket.
"Yuhao, why did you buy this broken stone? Although it looks good, it is beautiful."
Huo Yuhao blinked his eyes and did not explain, "Go buy some more materials, and I will make you a gift."
