Chapter 337 County Magistrate’s Plaque

"Gu's, when will you start selling? This is much later than usual. It's already past the time. We've been waiting for a long time." Some customers couldn't wait. After seeing several families coming, they asked loudly.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly said: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Guests, please line up first and prepare your money. We will start selling in half an hour."

"It's still half an hour away, can't you hurry up? We're here to give you money." Some guests complained even more after hearing this.

Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "I know, all the customers are the God of Wealth in our shop. We also want to start selling as soon as possible, but the auspicious time is already in the middle of the day, so we have to wait."

Gu Dagui cupped his hands and said to the guests surrounding the shop: "Guests, wait a moment. When the auspicious time comes, we will open the shop after worshiping the heaven and earth."

These are people from the town or nearby villages, and they are already familiar with the Gu family tofu stall, so naturally they can wait. After complaining for a while, they said: "Okay, let's wait first."

"My dear daughter-in-law, please go in and make golden bean cakes, otherwise you will be too busy when the store opens." The third grandma urged Mrs. Chen, who was still standing at the door of the shop with the shopkeeper's wife's money.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen exclaimed and hurriedly went into the shop to work. She also yelled at her children to help in the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Yan, and Aunt Tian were already busy with their children.

Gu Jinxiu didn't like the excitement, so she didn't enter through the main entrance of the shop. Instead, she followed Gu Daya and the others around to the back of the shop and went to the back house of the shop. Now I am helping to pour the raw soy milk into the pot in the kitchen of the back house, add water and sugar to boil.

After boiling the soy milk, she put the soy milk into jars, picked it up to the door connecting the backyard and the shop, and said to Gu Jinli, who was holding fermented fermented beans on the corridor of the kitchen of the shop: "Xiaoyu, the soy milk is cooked, take it." Go and share it with the guests."

They didn't sell soy milk in the past, but they opened today and there were too many customers, so they brought soy milk and gave it to customers for free.

"Hey, here we come." Gu Jinli just responded, but before she got up, Luo Wu came to the door and took the burden from Gu Jinxiu's shoulder, saying, "You can call me to do this kind of heavy work from now on." Do."

Gu Jinli: "..."

Brother Luo Wu, don’t think that you can say such flirtatious words to my eldest sister because my parents and eldest brother are not here.

Gu Jinxiu smiled and said, "It's not heavy. I carry water every day at home."

Luo Wu looked at her smile and was in such a good mood that he didn't want to leave, but Luo Huiniang had already ran over and said: "Brother, why are you looking at Sister Xiu and giggling? Hurry up and pick out the soy milk, otherwise the guests will complain. La."

Luo Wu gritted his teeth, how come Hui Niang has no eyesight at all?

But he could only say: "I'll pick them out right away."

He then told Gu Jinxiu: "There are many people outside and it's very chaotic. Just stay in the back house and don't go out to avoid being hit by others."

"Okay, the house in the back just hasn't been cleaned up yet. I'll go and clean up the house, and then show my aunt's house the fire in the kitchen at the back." Gu Jinxiu said with a smile.

"Brother, why aren't you afraid that I will be hit by someone?" Luo Huiniang asked stupidly, "I am younger than Sister Xiu."

Luo Wu didn't want to pay attention to her, and walked out with a jar filled with soy milk: "You know how to punch and kick, and you can kick someone before they hit you. I don't need to worry."

Luo Huiniang thought about it and felt that it was right. Her boxing and kicking skills were very powerful.

She ran to the kitchen, picked up a load of wooden bowls, followed Luo Wu to the front shop, and distributed soy milk to the customers waiting outside the shop.

The guests had only seen the people at Gu's tofu stall drink soy milk, but they had never drunk it before. But after tasting the silky and fragrant taste of soy milk, they all liked it so much that they asked one after another: "This is what you often drink." Soy milk is delicious. Not only does it have the aroma of beans, but it also has a sweet taste. Does it contain sugar? Will soy milk be sold in the store in the future? If so, we will definitely buy it."

Third Grandpa smiled and said: "We are opening today. The soy milk is given to everyone to drink. It is only for this day and will not be sold in the future."

Soy milk is used to make tofu, so it is not cost-effective to sell soy milk alone. Besides, opposite their shop is the tea house of Ganchang Fajia. Ren Tea House only sells drinks. If they sell it again, it is tantamount to robbing business and leading to enmity.

The guests were very sorry to hear that it was not for sale, but they thought it was something to drink and not as good as food, so they didn't mention it.

"Shang Xiucai has arrived, Shangli Chang has arrived!" Zhu Changshou and Wang Yongfu stood on both sides of the shop, clearing a path to greet the distinguished guests who came to congratulate them.

When the surrounding customers heard that Shang Xiucai and Shang Li had arrived, they all got out of the way and stopped crowding at the door of the shop.

When Third Grandpa saw Shang Xiucai and Shang Li Chang, he hurriedly led several men to greet them: "Wenyuan, Shang Li Chang, you can come, the shop is really flourishing, please come in quickly."

Gu Jinan bowed to Shang Xiucai and said, "Greetings, sir."

Shang Xiucai glanced at him, nodded, and said to Third Grandpa with a smile: "Today is a big day for Third Uncle Gu's family. How could Wen Yuan not come?"

It's just a pity that the shop was crowded and crowded when it was opened, so he couldn't bring his wife and daughter.

He also introduced the third grandfather: "This is Wenyuan's cousin, who is also the head of our area. These two are the grandsons of my cousin's family. The third son, Zimao, and the fourth son, Sheng, are somewhat like teachers and students to me. Qingyi, you can be regarded as my student, and I’m here to congratulate you today.”

Shang Zimao and Shang Zisheng were about the same age as Gu Jinan. They were both wearing long robes and turbans, dressed as scholars. They bowed to the third grandfather and the others and said, "Junior, I pay my respects to Mr. Gu and several uncles."

The third grandfather looked at the elegant and elegant two people and kept nodding: "Yes, yes, these two young men are good at first glance."

Shang Li always loves Gu Daya's braised food. The first thing he said when they met was not congratulations, but asked: "Brother Gu, are the braised food and roast duck also sold in this shop?"

Third Grandpa replied: "Yes, we will sell it here for the time being. We will move it there after the braised food shop is built."

Shang Li was very happy: "Hey, that's good, that's good. I came here just for the braised meat and roast duck."

Third Grandpa laughed when he heard this and invited Shang Lichang and his party into the shop.

Ah Jiu and the servants of Shangli Chang's family also entered the shop carrying congratulatory gifts.

Not long after Shang Lichang and the others sat down, a sound of gongs and drums came from far and near towards the shop.

Chief Shang Li asked: "Brother Gu, your family also hired a music player? Not bad, it should be more lively and festive."

Third Grandpa shook his head: "We don't have any musicians in our shop. Could it be that someone in this town has a happy event?"

"Oh, no invitation? Whose family invited it?" Shang Lichang was also confused.

Gu Jinan, on the other hand, saw Shang Xiucai's presence and immediately thought of what Shang Xiucai had told him a few days ago, telling them not to make plaques in their shop, saying that someone would send them to him on the opening day.

Is this... coming?

Shang Xiucai glanced at him, nodded slightly, stood up first, and said, "Uncle Gu, maybe something happy is coming to your door. Let's go out and have a look."
