Chapter 378: Chapter 378 What’s a quick way to make money?

Ah Jiu was convinced by Wufu once again, as he gazed deeply into her still youthful face. Her eyes, however, were filled with wisdom.

How could a girl from the countryside see more clearly than he, who had long been immersed in the struggles of politics? Who exactly was she?

"Who exactly are you?"

As his thoughts surfaced, so did Ah Jiu’s words.

Wufu smiled and pointed to herself with her index finger, "Me, I’m an ’Earthling’ ah!"

What kind of nonsensical talk was this?

Ah Jiu frowned.

Wufu burst into hearty laughter, saying, "Just teasing you, I’m an observer. Naturally, I can see things clearer than you who are in the midst of the whirlpool. There’s a saying, isn’t it, ’the onlooker sees most of the game.’"

Ah Jiu did not speak, and at that moment, Hongyu came over to announce that the banquet was ready and they could take their seats.

"Let’s go, have a taste of my chef’s cooking," Wufu stood up, straightened her dress, and walked forward.

She moved so decisively, without even asking who he was in Beiyan, what his status was, seemingly utterly unconcerned about it.

Ah Jiu’s brows knitted even more tightly; for some reason, he felt an uncomfortable sensation in his heart.

He looked at Wufu’s back, the light in his eyes fractured and then slowly began to reconvene, becoming even firmer and brighter.

This time, Wufu did not order a banquet from outside, so the food on the table was all prepared by the cook and Madam Zhou.

"Ninth Master said we shouldn’t get used to having fancy foods all the time. Come, try the salted fish and cabbage, it has its own unique flavor." Wufu laughed as she placed a piece of five-spice ribs into his bowl.

Yuan Ye and Xiao Li, who stood by the side, couldn’t help but twitch the corners of their mouths at this.

The master of the house didn’t seem to mind the food either, eating it without complaint, while it was Wufu who never stopped talking.

Didn’t she know that one shouldn’t talk while eating or while lying in bed?

It wasn’t until the meal had been cleared away and the servants served tea that Ah Jiu, holding his teacup, asked, "After leaving Wozi Village, after leaving the mountains, what plans do you have for the future? Any livelihood plans?"

Could he see that she was short on funds?

"I haven’t thought too much about it for now," Wufu smiled and said, "Does Ninth Master have any business advice that could make us a fortune?"

"Opening a shop to maintain a livelihood shouldn’t be difficult." After all, her family wasn’t that large.

Opening a shop to do business, huh? Wufu propped her chin, pondering. She hadn’t thought about this in her previous life; she hadn’t run a business before. Well, if being a mercenary counted as business, then maybe it did count.

"Do you like jade? I’ve seen you carve; you could open a jade ware shop. That could work," Ah Jiu remembered her other skill. "As long as the designs are novel, you won’t worry about attracting clients."

People were quite fond of jade and gemstones, and she, skilled in carving and loving jade, should find it not too difficult to run a business in this field.

"Jade Carving isn’t easy; it requires a lot of effort and focus. Just by myself, it would be very hard, and I really don’t have the energy to manage a shop," Wufu said, "Besides, I’m quite lazy."

A jade ware shop would need frequent updates in designs; without new pieces, it would likely close down quickly. And her carving, inherently slow and meticulous, could potentially sustain her for three years if she worked on a large piece.

But Wufu was lazy; she didn’t want to be tied down by such commitments.

"You can’t just live day by day without a plan, right? There’s a whole host of people big and small depending on you." Ah Jiu frowned; from the looks of it, this household really could only rely on her, a woman.

Hitting a sore spot, those words.

Wufu put down her teacup and leaned in to whisper, "So Ninth Master, is there any business that makes money fast? Like, killing people, setting fires, or stealing?"

Pfft!

Ah Jiu spat out a mouthful of tea!
