Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Gu Chan patted her chest and said, "I believe in divination, but I am not obsessed with it. I always believe that my fate is determined by myself, so I will make it a smooth journey."

"Okay, I'm counting on you, kid. Go ahead! I'll see what kind of storm you can stir up in the Jiangnan area." The nine-fingered old beggar glared at Gu Chan with shining eyes and shouted.

At this moment, he saw Gu Chan's uniqueness and felt that there was powerful energy contained in Gu Chan's small body.

But as to why Gu Chan gave him such a feeling, he couldn't explain it for the time being.

Gu Chan clasped his fists and bowed again before turning around and walking away.

The nine-fingered old beggar sat there, watching her leaving from behind, a strange smile on his face.

Outside the ruined temple.

As soon as Gu Chan came out, the scabby dog ​​came up to her and asked, "How's it going? Did you get the beggar's license?"

"I got it. The old boss even told me my fortune for free." Gu Chan said with a smile.

"Wow! The old gang leader thinks so highly of you! He even tells your fortune for free. Do you know that many people want him to tell their fortunes now, but he is unwilling to do so?" said the scabby dog ​​in surprise.

Gu Chan laughed and said, "Maybe because I'm a child, they treat me preferentially!"

"That's true. Let's go back to East Street." The mangy dog ​​said happily.

After saying that, he and Gu Chan left the ruined temple and returned towards East Street.

On the way back, the scabby dog ​​couldn't stop laughing. Gu Chan looked puzzled and said, "How come you seem happier than me now that I've become a beggar?"

"Nonsense, with a cash cow like you, our East Street will be able to increase its income in the future, how can I not be happy? Whether I can keep the title of the top ten beggars this year depends entirely on you." The bald dog patted Gu Chan's shoulder and said.

Gu Chan's eyes rolled, and she suddenly had an idea and said, "If you want to keep your title as one of the top ten beggars, I think it's easy. If you are willing to listen to me, I guarantee you will make money."

"What good ideas do you have?" The mangy dog ​​became interested.

"Let me ask you, do you want to make money from the caravan?" Gu Chan said.

Without even thinking, the scabby dog ​​said, "Why can't we make money? We beggars don't just make money by begging. We can do any job that can make money."

"Okay, I'll take you to meet a man tonight. He's the owner of a small caravan from Zhongyuan City. He sells medicine. You just need to ask the beggars on East Street to help him promote his caravan, and the money will naturally go into your pocket." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

"Is it that simple?" The mangy dog ​​was a little bit incredulous.

He had been a beggar leader in East Street for so many years, so he knew that all the caravan members were shrewd people. It was not easy to get money from them.

So he was a little bit unconvinced by what Gu Chan said at this moment.

Gu Chan patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, this shopkeeper helped me a lot when I was fleeing to Jiangnan! Otherwise, I would have starved to death on the way. He is a good person, and now he wants to do business here, so he naturally wants to make a name for himself. In this case, he doesn't mind giving you some money to help him promote his business on the street, don't you understand?"

"Then how do we promote it?" asked the scabby dog.

"It's very simple! I will teach you how to play the clapper board, and then you can go and teach all the beggars in East Street. Then everyone will just put their caravan's business philosophy into clapper board and sing it." Gu Chan explained.

The scabby dog ​​nodded repeatedly after listening to this, thinking that this was quite simple.

Gu Chan stopped talking nonsense and immediately took out a set of clappers that she had prepared earlier and started teaching as she walked.

The scabby dog ​​followed the instructions seriously and really enjoyed learning.

More than half an hour later, when the two returned to East Street, Laipigou was already able to beat the rhythm of the clappers and sing the jingle with his unique smoky voice.

Gu Chan couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and praised him, "As expected of a beggar leader, you learn quickly! No wonder you are one of the top ten beggars, you do have some skills."

"Of course. If I didn't miss us Beggars' Gang, I would have left the gang and gone to do business long ago. I wouldn't be staying on the street as a beggar every day!" said the scabby dog ​​with a proud look on my face.

Gu Chan laughed and didn't dwell on this topic any more. Instead, she said, "Well, you should practice for a while. When you are good at Kuaiban, gather all the beggars in East Street and teach them. I have to talk to the shopkeeper so that I can help you make an appointment with him tonight."

"Where can I find you at night?" said the mangy dog.

"Let's go to the back door of Wanyuanfang! The shopkeeper lives in Wanyuanfang now. I heard that he is a good friend of the young owner of Wanyuanfang." Gu Chan said cunningly.

The mangy dog ​​nodded and quickly sat on the ground to practice clapper talk.

Gu Chan said goodbye to him and headed towards Wanyuanfang alone.

In the late afternoon, Gu Chan slowly returned to Wanyuanfang and met Di Lin and Yuan Jie in a room on the third floor.

When the two saw that Gu Chan was wearing tattered clothes, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Di Lin laughed and joked, "Boss, you really look like a little beggar now."

"Yes! Our shopkeeper is really a talented person. He really looks like what he is in whatever role he plays!" Yuan Jie also said.

Gu Chan glared at the two of them and said unhappily, "Okay, stop joking with me. Let's talk business. How is your house purchase going?"

"We've been shopping all morning, but we haven't made a decision yet. We plan to look for it again tomorrow."

"Boss, the buildings here are so expensive! If you buy a three-story building here, you can buy two in Zhongyuan City."

Di Lin and Yuan Jie spoke one after another.

Gu Chan was not surprised at all, she had been mentally prepared, otherwise she would not have deposited 200,000 taels of silver in Wanyuanfang.

Not caring about the price, she said directly, "Don't worry about the money, as long as 200,000 taels of silver can get it, I just need you to pick a good location and a slightly better building quality."

"Yes, boss." The two responded in unison.

"By the way, I will call a beggar over here in the evening. His name is Laipigou, and he is the beggar leader on East Street. You can pretend to be the owner and his wife of Yaoduoduo Caravan, and talk to him to ask him to help promote the caravan." Gu Chan said seriously.

Di Lin and Yuan Jie looked at each other, and both of them became a little embarrassed.

After all, from the very beginning, they had been calling each other brother and sister, and had never thought about matters between men and women. Now that Gu Chan wanted them to pretend to be husband and wife, how could they not be shy!

Gu Chan laughed out loud and felt that these people in ancient times were indeed more reserved. If this happened in modern times, they would probably smile so hard that their mouths would be crooked. They would not be as shy as they are now.
