My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 74 Selling Fireworks to the Ancients
Gu Xingzhao practically rushed into the television set and flew back to ancient times as fast as he could, fearing that his golden lock would run away, since the price of gold was now over seven hundred!
She shouted repeatedly, "I'm here! I'm here!"

He had never seen his ancestor speak with such excitement. Lu Qing looked down at the thumb ring and gold lock in his hand. It seemed that his ancestors really liked these things.

Gu Xingzhao accepted the consultation fee without hesitation; the heavy gold lock made him happy just by looking at it.

She looked Du Hangwu up and down, but couldn't see anything wrong with him. He looked healthy and in good spirits. Surely he wasn't asking her to treat some kind of male ailment?

People in ancient times found it difficult to talk about their hidden ailments, but that's okay, with the system in hand, I have the world at my fingertips!
Gu Xingzhao immediately had the system perform a full-body scan on Du Hangwu.

[Medical testing in progress...]

[Patient Du Hangwu has a normal body temperature and no obvious external injuries. He is currently undergoing in-depth testing.]

[Diagnosis: The patient suffers from chronic constipation, accompanied by rectal bleeding, enlarged external hemorrhoids, and prolapsed internal hemorrhoids.]

Treatment recommendations: Warm sitz bath, combined with application of medicated ointment to the affected area to reduce swelling and relieve pain.

Gu Xingzhao looked at Du Hangwu with pity. So he had hemorrhoids. This disease must have been difficult to treat in ancient times.
Nine out of ten men suffer from hemorrhoids; it seems even the ancients couldn't avoid it.

She immediately spent money to redeem ointment in the system store and gave it to Lu Qing, "Tell him to open this ointment and squeeze it into the affected area every morning and evening, one tube at a time. This box is enough for him to use for half a month. We'll see how things go after half a month."

Lu Qing was completely confused and couldn't figure out what illness Du Hangwu had.

He immediately handed the ointment to Du Hangwu, relaying his ancestor's words verbatim: "Twist open this ointment and squeeze it into the affected area every morning and evening. Use one tube each time. This box is enough for you for half a month. Check the situation again after half a month."

Du Hangwu was stunned. He hadn't even said what he wanted treated, and the Lu family's deity had already prepared the medicine?!

Could I have misunderstood?

He took the ointment, opened the cap, and saw that it was an ointment he had never seen before; it was long and thin with a pointed tip.
Du Hangwu suddenly remembered what Lu Qing had said: to squeeze the ointment into the affected area morning and night. He suddenly understood the meaning of those words, and his face turned bright red. He quickly closed the cap again, saying, "Thank you, Elder Lu!"

Du Hangwu's reaction was strange, and Lu Qing felt puzzled. He couldn't help but ask his ancestor: "Ancestor, what illness does Du Hangwu suffer from?"
Gu Xingzhao coughed twice, weighed the gold lock in his hand, and decided to give Du Hangwu some privacy. "It's not a serious illness, it's just a bit uncomfortable."

Hopefully, the hemorrhoid cream from this system's store will be useful for Du Hangwu.

Lu Qing: "?"

The ancestor seemed to give a vague answer, suggesting that Du Hangwu's hidden ailment was not something he could easily talk about.

He didn't ask any further questions.

Gu Xingzhao took the opportunity to ask Lu Qing, "Lu Qing, do you have any grand nighttime events planned here recently? Something lively."

Lu Qing pondered for a moment: Could the ancestors be referring to the Lantern Festival?

Every year during the Lantern Festival in Beijing, there are lantern festivals and all sorts of street performers come out to make a living. Major businesses also send floats to parade through the streets, vying for the title of the most prosperous business, which is very lively.

Gu Xingzhao's eyes lit up. This was it! Perfect for setting off fireworks during the Lantern Festival, and there were even businesses vying for it.

However, since he couldn't appear in ancient times himself, he needed to find someone to help him contact those merchants, promote the fireworks, and earn some gold and silver that could be sold directly without needing to pay offerings for repairs.

After thinking for a long time, she set her sights on Liu Xiangbai. Perhaps she could have Liu Xiangbai's wife give it a try. With that in mind, she went back to the modern world, printed out pictures of various fireworks effects, and rushed to the Liu residence.

In the courtyard, the little girl was playing, while Madam Liu was doing needlework in the house.

Her family's money had long been spent on her daughter's medical treatment. To make a living, she could only pick herbs for people and do needlework to sell.

Gu Xingzhao had just taken out a pen and paper when she realized that communicating by letter was too complicated. She frowned and asked, "System, is there any way for me to talk to her directly?"

[Return to host, you can exchange for a megaphone.]

The system shop brought up the megaphone page, which looked like two disposable paper cups, priced at 99 offering points, or 19,999 modern currency.

Gu Xingzhao naturally chose modern currency, as what she lacked most right now was offering value.

With a wave of her hand, she bought a megaphone and sent the message to the table in front of Madam Liu.

She called out to the paper tube, "Mrs. Liu."

Suddenly, she heard someone calling her name. Madam Liu looked around, but she couldn't see anyone in the courtyard. Could it be a hallucination?

Then she noticed something she had never seen before on the table, something that looked like a cup. She leaned closer to look, and was about to ask her daughter where it came from, when she heard that voice again.
"Mrs. Liu, can you hear me?"

The sound rang out again, and Mrs. Liu was startled. It was haunted! She suddenly fell off the chair!
Gu Xingzhao hadn't expected to frighten him and felt a little embarrassed. She coughed lightly, "Don't panic, I am a deity of the Lu family, do you remember me?"

Just now she thought it was a ghost, but when she heard the other party claim to be a deity of the Lu family, Madam Liu calmed down a lot and immediately became respectful, "This humble woman, He Zhen, has been rude. Please forgive me, deity."

Gu Xingzhao stated his purpose directly: "He Zhen, I have something I would like to entrust to you for trading. If it goes well, you can earn a considerable amount of money, which can be used for your husband's food and clothing. Are you willing to give it a try?"

He Zhen was stunned. (The sentence is incomplete and lacks context.)
She felt obligated to serve the gods, but she couldn't help wondering how much the gods meant by "a lot," and whether it would be enough to reunite her family.
She asked cautiously, "May I ask the gods, how much can I earn?"

Gu Xingzhao stroked her chin. Actually, she couldn't say for sure, but as long as she succeeded, she had a feeling that she would earn a lot!

"There should be quite a few."

He Zhen knelt down almost without hesitation and agreed, "This humble woman is willing to give it a try and serve the gods!"

Gu Xingzhao was satisfied and sent the prepared picture to He Zhen. "This thing is called fireworks. It can be lit and set off in the air. When set off at night, it can emit light and is extremely beautiful."

Seeing the fireworks in the picture, with colorful flowers blooming in the night sky, He Zhen couldn't take her eyes off them. Could there really be giant flowers that could bloom and glow in the night sky?
She had her doubts, but the words of the gods could not be false. "I wonder how the gods intend to sell this item, where they intend to sell it, and what the price will be?"

Although He Zhen had her own guesses, she felt that she should not speak recklessly in front of the gods.

Gu Xingzhao smiled and said, "I've heard that every year during the Lantern Festival in the capital, major businesses hold parades with floats to compete for the title of the number one business. These floats are dazzling and can be a great help. Go and negotiate with a business to provide them with fireworks for free and see if any business owner is willing to set them off during the Lantern Festival."

"Because fireworks are extremely loud and can light up half the sky, they cannot be set off before the Lantern Festival. Do you understand?"

Start your money-making plan!
