Chapter 1003 Chen Wants to Fight
Mrs. Chen greeted Gu Dagui, and the couple worked very hard to carry the bamboo boxes containing vegetables. Seeing that Erqing was about to move, Ms. Chen said: "Hey, don't move, we will do it. It's hard for you to serve Xiaoyu." , It’s time to take a rest.”
Then he smiled at Gu Jinli and said, "That's right, Xiaoyu."
Mrs. Chen's smile was so flattering that it startled Gu Jinli: "Auntie Dagui, are you okay?"
She and Brother Qin came back late and delayed the meal at home. Mrs. Chen didn't praise her and even praised her maid. This was wrong.
Brother Cheng ran over and informed Gu Jinli: "Second sister, the eldest lady has something to ask of you, and she has been talking about you at home for more than an hour. If you don't come back, our ears will be turned off by her." I’m deafened by the chanting.”
Gu Jinli suddenly realized that he really had something to ask of her.
Then why is she so polite? It was Mrs. Chen who was busy preparing rice and serving soup.
After several families had finished their meal happily, Gu Jinli said again: "Erqing and Xiaoji have also worked hard. This bowl of chopsticks?"
Fu Tai Lou only packs dishes in bamboo boxes, and the tableware and chopsticks are from home, so they still need to be washed.
Mrs. Chen understood immediately and immediately patted Gu Dagui and said, "Why are you still sitting there? You just had a good meal for nothing and you still want to sit down and be a master? Come and wash the dishes with me."
Gu Dagui had no choice but to glare at her and follow her to clear the dishes.
Ms. Cui smiled beside her and whispered to Gu Jinli: "Take it easy and don't go too far, otherwise your noble aunt will have to give up on you."
Gu Jinli said: "Mom, don't worry. Look at the attitude of the noble aunt, she must have something big to ask of me. Even if she faints from exhaustion, she won't dare to get angry."
However, Gu Jinli just asked Chen to wash the dishes and make tea for everyone, and then he didn't bother her anymore.
When Mrs. Chen saw this, she immediately said: "Xiaoyu, have you noticed that the people in this city are stupid and have too much money?"
Gu Jinli was shocked when he heard the words "people are stupid and have too much money": "You actually know these four words?"
Mrs. Chen glared at her: "Why don't you know that the storyteller has a lot of words? When he said that a rich young man bought an egg with one tael of silver, he said that the rich young man was stupid and had too much money."
He waved his hand again and said, "Don't interrupt, just listen to what Auntie has to say."
Then he told me that he wanted to open a shop in Fucheng to make tofu and sell bean dregs cakes.
"Although the dried tofu is good, it doesn't taste as good as fresh tofu, and there are several counties near He'an Prefecture. Our tofu can be sold to people in several nearby counties. The leftover bean dregs from making tofu will not be wasted. Just make it into bean dregs cake and sell it for twenty cents. People in Fucheng who have never eaten it will definitely rush to buy it!"
Mrs. Chen said excitedly, as if she had seen people from Fucheng throwing money at her, and laughed out loud: "I'm getting rich!"
Gu Jinli looked at Mrs. Chen who was about to laugh so hard, he clicked his tongue and said, "It costs twenty cents for a bean dregs cake. You have quadrupled the price all of a sudden. Isn't that too harsh?"
Even if the wealthy households in the city are stupid and have a lot of money, you can't kill them like this.
Mrs. Chen was dissatisfied and said in a loud voice: "Why is it too cruel? Food is so expensive nowadays. I heard people from Fucheng say that people are starving to death in the northwest again. Oh, it's so miserable. There are so many people there. People are sold into slavery and no one wants them.”
Every winter, the Dajong people would come to grab food. I heard that in the past few years, because there was no official guard from Weiguo, they had been particularly aggressive and many people died in the border town.
Many families couldn't bear it anymore. They heard that the South was a granary with no shortage of food and no war, so they sold themselves out and wanted to follow Ya Xing to the South.
Gu Jinli knew about this, and they had never stopped hearing about it from the northwest. Because of this, she and Qin Sanlang accelerated their efforts to stock up on necessary supplies such as food, ironware, medicinal materials, horses, and mules.
"So the bean dregs cakes I sell for twenty cents are really not expensive." Mrs. Chen added: "I heard that the rich young men in Fucheng don't eat cheap food. If I sell it cheaply, they won't buy it. "
They say they don't care about money, food is their status, but Mrs. Chen thinks they are stupid, very stupid.
Gu Jinli said: "It is not an easy task for you to open a shop to make tofu and bean dregs cakes in Fucheng. What if someone deliberately poisons the tofu?"
Mrs. Chen also learned from Gu Jinli in the past few years, and immediately said: "Don't worry, Auntie won't be dazzled by money. The fresh tofu needs to be sold to one family in a county, and you have to sign a contract. Get the goods. I have to inspect the goods when I go out and sign to make sure there is no problem. When the fresh tofu goes out, I won’t recognize it at all.”
Then he begged: "Xiaoyu, Auntie knows that you are worried that if you open another tofu workshop, someone will take the opportunity to poison us and frame us, but don't worry, Auntie is definitely not greedy for money and will definitely do it according to your rules. If anything happens A suspicious person would rather not do his business without money."
"Xiaoyu, just promise my aunt. I really want to open a shop in Fucheng, just like you, so that we can earn more money for our family."
Mrs. Chen spoke very sincerely, and Gu Jinli also saw that Mrs. Chen really wanted to open a shop in Fucheng.
However, she didn't want to agree so quickly and let go too quickly. Chen would not cherish her and would have to hammer her home to make her understand that this job was hard-earned.
"Let's do this. Write down your ideas on how you want to run this shop and show it to me. Then make a ledger and estimate how much money you need to open this shop. Then write it all down in the book. After I read it, if If you think it’s feasible, just agree.”
Chen was confused: "What? What do you want me to write down? I can't read!"
Mrs. Chen felt that Gu Jinli was playing tricks on her, but Gu Jinli said: "Uncle Dagui is literate, just dictate it and let him write it. Besides, these are all necessary. If you don't even know what you need to do to open a shop, , How dare I let you do it in Fucheng? What should I do if I lose money? That is our family’s money."
Chen had no choice but to drag Gu Dagui back to the house and began to force Gu Dagui to help him write some business ideas.
"What else can you think about selling tofu? Xiaoyu girl has too much to do!" Mrs. Chen complained while speaking out what she was thinking.
Gu Dagui was almost stunned by her and said angrily: "You bitch, what exactly do you want me to write? Can you tell me your ideas on how to run the shop before you curse?"
Chen said angrily: "Okay, okay, I understand, why are you yelling?"
After scolding, they followed Gu Dagui to fight at night, and the only person who couldn't sleep tonight was Zong Zhengya.
Zong Zhengya and the others were busy working until midnight before they finally settled down.
Then she remembered what Qin Sanlang said to Gu Jinli, and immediately summoned another group of shadow guards and ordered the captain: "Immediately go to the He'an government office and Tianfu county government office to check if there are any Qin Sanlang and Gu's daughter in the government office. Registration record of engagement letter or marriage certificate.”
As long as the matchmaker is marrying, there will be a letter of appointment for the engagement, and there will be a marriage ceremony. If there are no registrations in the yamen, she can count Qin Sanlang and the daughter of the Gu family as having an affair without a matchmaker.
After hearing this, the Shadow Guard Captain frowned, feeling very dissatisfied with this second lady.
Because of her temptation, eight of their brothers died. Now she still doesn't want to give up and wants to continue spending time here. What is she trying to do?
I have been saving the manuscript recently to prepare for the update, so I will update three chapters (6,000 words) every day. Don’t worry, you will feel comfortable reading it when the update is released. The relationship between the male and female protagonists can only be expressed in four words: trust + mutual love. Don’t worry about any bloody plot happening. Zong Zhengya came here after listening to Ning Ji’s words, but she is not a fool. She has the balance of family interests between the daughters of the aristocratic family. , it is impossible to fall headfirst into Qin Sanlang, a poor guy who is still a hundred households. She will soon feel that Qin Sanlang is not as good as Qin Erlang, give up and leave. Finally: Thank you for your support^0^
