However, Gu Nian shook her head. “I don’t like candy. I think that it’s fun watching him do that. Father, let’s go and find a stall.”

Lin Sanshui did not mind.

Which child didn’t like to eat candy?

This child was too sensible. The more sensible she was, the more it made people’s hearts ache.

Lin Sanshui pulled Gu Nian out of the street and into a more crowded street. There were farm products on both sides of the street. People were selling meat, fish, and chicken here.

It was already quite late. The better stall spaces had already been occupied by others. Lin Sanshui could only find a stall near the corner and place the rabbit to the side. Then, he spread the grass to cover the basket on the ground before taking out the peaches and carefully placing them on the grass.

After Lin Sanshui had arranged everything, he sat there waiting for customers to arrive.

The eggs and the rabbit were sold very quickly. Three out of the six boxes were sold. The customer who bought the rabbit also bought two peaches, but he bought them for a cheap price.

Gu Nian felt that she had lost out.

It was a peach that was produced in the interspace. Although eating it would not make one immortal, the taste was excellent. After eating it, not only would one feel comfortable all over, but even one’s mind would become clear.

However, they sold the two peaches for only five cents. It made Gu Nian feel that she might as well keep them for herself.

Looking at the pedestrians coming and going, most were farmers and a small number of servants from large families who came out to buy things.

“Father, I want to look at that street over there.” Gu Nian pointed at the bustling street that they had just passed.

Lin Sanshui looked around and said, “Can you wait a while? It’s still early. I’ll see if I can sell the remaining baskets and straw sandals. I’ll take you to play later.”

Lin Sanshui was in a good mood. The rabbit and two peaches had been sold for seventy-two cents, which was equivalent to the income of all the other things he had brought out.

As for the peaches, Lin Sanshui had never planned to sell them all.

It was delicious and looked good, just like the peaches of immortality God used in the stage play.

But at this time, there was no shortage of wild fruits in the mountains. Except for those who were well-off, few people would be extravagant enough to buy peaches to eat.

“Father, I won’t go far. I’ll take a few peaches and stand at the end of the street to see if any rich people want to buy them, okay?” Gu Nian wasn’t a real six-year-old child. Although she wanted to hang around, she understood the importance of making money.

Lin Sanshui was instantly touched.

He had thought that Gu Nian could not sit still after staying here for a long time, but it turned out that she wanted to share his burden.

“Daughter, I know you’re a good and sensible child, but I can do the things like making money. You only have to be a good and sensible little daughter.”

Lin Sanshui patted Gu Nian’s little head with a smile on her face. Gu Nian was a little confused.

“Father, I want to go. Please let me go. I promise I won’t go far. It’s just at the end of the street.” Gu Nian blinked her big eyes. She knew that Lin Sanshui could not stand her cuteness.

Sure enough, Lin Sanshui lost to her coquettish in the end.

Gu Nian took out all the things in the basket and placed them on the ground. She picked up four or five peaches and placed them back into the basket before dragging away the basket, which was half her height.

Worried, Lin Sanshui reminded her from behind, “My dear, take it slow. Remember, don’t go too far. I’ll find you after I sell these baskets. If you’re bored, you can come back and take a walk by yourself.”
