After learning that Zhao Yi was penniless, Gao Ran had the idea of returning to his old business - doing business.

In her opinion, the two transactions she talked about with Qiu Yueze before could only be regarded as a shareholding at best, and she was not personally involved in the business.

Moreover, the returns of those two businesses are not something that can be obtained in the short term......

At the earliest, you have to wait a year or two!

However, the current situation is that it is impossible for her to just carry the thousands of taels in her pocket, waiting to sit and eat!

This time to go to the country of bananas, the road is long, who knows how long they will have to walk to arrive?!

But she only had a few thousand taels of silver tickets on her, and if she didn't earn some money from time to time on the road, she really doubted that the four of them would be able to make it to the banana country alive?!

When thinking like this, Gao Ran had already automatically ruled out the idea of letting Qiao'er and Gao Xi go out to make money to support her.

In her concept, since she is the master, she should naturally raise them!

What's more, in her eyes, both of them are underage children!

Qiao'er is only ten years old, and Gao Xi is only sixteen years old......

And the only adult ...... Uh, no, it should be an overmature old man, but he is still a "free man" who can still live on his own even if he is penniless!

Zhao Yi can indeed take care of himself, but Gao Ran can't!

To live without money, you can only rely on hunting from the wild...... Every day, I have to eat and sleep in the open, and the day is precarious......

Gao Ran felt that she couldn't stand it just by imagining that kind of life a little!

"Why do you want to be so harsh on yourself?!Why do you have to wronged yourself when you have the ability to live a better life?!"

Anyway, in order to survive, in order to live better, in order to live well before reaching the destination, Banana Country, Gao Ran decided that before she set off, she had to make good use of the resources here and quickly earn more money for herself!

"Hmmm......"

Thinking about it, Gao Ran still felt that it was necessary for her to stop here for a while!

"Master, let's not leave for the time being! Let's stay in Qingtan Town for a few more days! Since I have to be responsible for all the entanglements along the way, then you have to give me some time to make some money on this entanglement, right?! Otherwise, will you let us wait for the entanglements to run out, and then go drink the northwest wind?!"

After Zhao Yi came back from wandering outside, Gao Ran directly informed him of his concerns and plans.

"Hmm...... You have a point. But this road is a long way, and no one knows what they will encounter in the future...... How can you guarantee that the money you earn now will be enough for you?!What if you accidentally lose it in the future?!Or if you are robbed by robbers?!"

"Rob?!"

Gao Ran didn't expect that such concerns would come out of Zhao Yi's mouth.

"Hahaha...... Master, don't be funny! With you and Xi here, who would dare to rob it?! Besides, if that robber really has this ability, then why does he need to do such a thing as robbery? Isn't that too big and too much? !

Speaking of this, Gao Ran's expression became a little more serious again, "However, it is true that we must prepare for the best and prepare for the worst in everything! So, ah, I'm just making the best preparations! Moreover, I'm just asking to stay for a few more days, and I won't delay it too long! And as for the worst plan......

Gao Ran was silent for a while, thought about it for a while, and then simply let go of the worries in his heart, put on a posture of simply letting go, and continued, "If there is really such a tragic situation as the loss of property...... That's a big deal, I'll start from scratch again!

Speaking of this, Gao Ran pointed to his head, "Here, there are ideas to make money!

Seeing that Gao Ran said it was very reasonable, and he was so confident when he spoke, Zhao Yi no longer insisted.

Even after staying for more than a day, he was tired of seeing the scenery of this town!

But if he accommodates his little apprentice a little and stays here a few more days, he can still do it!

"Hmm...... Well, three days at most! I'm tired of being here at all! I can only endure it for three days at most! After three days, whether you make money or not, you have to go with me! Otherwise, I'll leave you alone!"

Gao Ran knew that Zhao Yi was the same as himself, and there were some things that he would not say, but once he said it, he would never change it.

Zhao Yi undoubtedly set a "deadline" for her - three days.

"Okay, then, is it from today?"

"Of course!"

"Oh. I know. Then, I'll find a way to make money now! I won't accompany you! You can have fun by yourself!"

With that, Gao Ran turned around and went straight back to his room.

As soon as the door was closed, no one knew what she was doing in the room.

What kind of hell is her so-called "making money"?!

――

Gao Ran quietly locked herself in the room like this, and it wasn't until late afternoon that she opened the door and walked out of the room.

"Miss, are you okay?!You've been in the room for so long, why don't you make a sound?!I've wanted to bang on the door several times to go in and have a look!"

Seeing Qiao'er's anxious and somewhat annoyed look, Gao Ran's heart warmed, but she deliberately put on a little "ridicule" for her on her face......

But Qiao'er, who has a simple temperament, naturally doesn't know that Gao Ran's appearance is different at the moment, and when she sees that she not only doesn't appreciate it, but also laughs at herself, she can't help but feel a little angry.

"Miss! People are worried about you! How can you still laugh at people like this?!"

"Oh, okay, okay, I'm playing with you! I'm not laughing at you, I'm just trying to tease you......"

Gao Ran saw Qiao'er's puffing face, and felt that it was cute, so she couldn't help but raise her hand and gently pinch Qiao'er's face, which was a head taller than her.

Then, she didn't care how Qiao'er would feel about her sudden move, turned around, and went straight downstairs.

She left like a nobody, but Qiao'er, who was still stunned in place, was so frightened by her that she didn't come back to her senses for a long time!

"Little ...... What was Miss doing just now?!"

Qiao'er broke out in a little cold sweat with some inexplicable fear, and unconsciously stroked her cheek with her hand, her eyes full of question marks - she was really confused.

And since just now, he has always stood silently guarding Gao Ran's Gao Xi, and he didn't pay attention to Qiao'er's stunned, and when he saw Gao Ran going downstairs, he quickly followed.

"Xiao Er, go and find Shopkeeper Li. I've got something to look for him!"

Gao Ran came to the hall on the first floor, specially found an inconspicuous corner to sit down, and then recruited Xiao Er to find someone for her.

Without waiting for a while, Shopkeeper Li trotted all the way from the backyard to the hall and came to Gao Ran.

"Hello Miss, I don't know if Miss has something to tell me when she looks for me?"

"Shopkeeper Li doesn't have to be polite! I'm just a guest, not the master. You don't need to be too polite to me. Please be seated!"

When he said this, Gao Ran also stood up and politely saluted him and invited him to take a seat.

Shopkeeper Li was stunned for a moment, but soon regained his usual expression and nodded towards Gao Ran with a light smile.

"I don't know why Miss is looking for me?"

"Shopkeeper Li, then I'll be straightforward! I think you should be an understanding person! Moreover, your status in Tiange should not be low...... So, I think, apart from Qiu Yueze, if there is anything that needs to be decided, you should be able to do it yourself, right?!"

Although Gao Ran was already eighty percent sure of this, before discussing the next business, she still needed Shopkeeper Li to personally confirm her guess!

Because, if Shopkeeper Li can't make his own decisions, then this business, talking to him, it will be in vain! It's just a waste of time!

"How does Miss know that the villain can call the shots?"

"Shopkeeper Li doesn't have to be humble. Although he didn't say anything, I can see that your status in the Heavenly Pavilion must be higher than his! It's not interesting!"

Time is tight, and Gao Ran doesn't have the extra mind to talk to him too much, just want to break through in one sentence and get straight to the point.

"Hehehehehe......" Shopkeeper Li didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, but just smiled in a flat tone for a while.

But no matter how Gao Ran listened, she felt that Shopkeeper Li's smile was really a little unclear, but meaningful......

"Shopkeeper Li, I'll just say it directly! I'm going to leave in two days. But before I can go, I have to earn some money for the journey...... Therefore, I would like to negotiate two deals with you, and if you think it is feasible, pay me ten thousand taels of silver. What do you think?!"

"Hehe, Miss might as well talk about it first......"

"Good. Well, I have a set of recipes that I just wrote in the afternoon. The menu is full of delicious dishes that can be made with only existing ingredients and seasonings. Moreover, each dish in it has some elegant-sounding names that I have specially given you. Doing so will enhance the 'style' of the dish even more. As for how much this 'style' is worth...... In addition, I have a set of more convenient bookkeeping methods, which can greatly improve the speed and accuracy of bookkeeping and accounting! If you are willing to learn, I can also give you this method. It's just that you have to charge a little tuition......"

As he spoke, Gao Ran wasted no time in handing the scroll in his hand to Shopkeeper Li.

"You can take a look at it first, here's a recipe for the twenty dishes I just wrote this afternoon. If you're interested, I'll show you how to cook it myself and let you taste the flavor of my recipe. ”

"Hmmm......"

Shopkeeper Li took the scroll and unfolded it for a quick browsing.

I found that the combination of the dishes inside is very novel and unheard of!

I couldn't help but get a little interested.

"I'll take you to the kitchen, and I'll pick a random dish from this recipe, and you make it, and I'll taste it." If it's delicious, I'll give you a satisfying answer!"

"Okay! Yes, then lead the way!"

After that, Gao Ran got up and waited for Shopkeeper Li to get up and guide her.
