"Xiaobao! Isn't this just tofu? Can it be done? I remember that the third sister-in-law's father is doing this, so don't steal the business from his family then?" Gu Wan was sitting on the kang doing needlework and listened for a while.
, but couldn't help but interrupt.
"Don't worry! This isn't tofu, it's different from Sister-in-law's. Besides, eldest sister and the others don't sell it in the village, they have to open a shop in the town." Dried tofu is more expensive than tofu, so it's not a big deal if it's less.
To make money, buy in the village. There are only a limited number of people to buy, so it is better to open a shop in the town.
"What? It takes a lot of money to open a shop in the town, so why not just sell it in the village, and then go to the town to open a shop after earning money." When Gu Xi heard that she wanted to open a shop, how could her family have so many?
Money? It will cost a lot to collect soybeans then!
"If you don't have any, just borrow some from home and pay it back later when you earn it!" Gu Chengyu felt that renting a shop wouldn't cost much, so if it wasn't enough, his family would pay in advance.
"It's done, let's do it! Later, Xizi and his son-in-law will soak the soybeans first. But I have to say something ugly first. You can't say that Xiaobao gave you this recipe, otherwise the third daughter-in-law will come and find you.
What should I do, Xiaobao? Just say that you learned from others, and don’t cause trouble for the family."
Father Gu is also happy to see his daughter find a living, but the third family will have complaints when the time comes. If she comes to ask for prescriptions, will she give them to her or not?
When Father Gu said this, Gu Chengyu also thought of it. Indeed, in order to avoid trouble in the future, it would be better not to reveal that he taught him.
"That's definitely not possible. This deal was given to me by Xiaobao. I'm stupid to tell it!" Gu Xi was not stupid. After thinking about it, she turned around and warned Wang Quanshou again. Although this honest man is used to talking
It's not much, but you can't drink. It's easy to slip up when you drink, but don't tell others about it when the time comes.
"That couldn't be better." Father Gu glanced at Ms. Lu who was sitting at the head of the kang. Ms. Lu didn't say much this time. Maybe it was because the Gu family was having a better time. Besides, the family was divided again. Ms. Lu's temper had improved recently.
a lot of.
"You need molds to make dried tofu. We don't have molds at home, so we have to make them on the spot. Make some wooden boxes and boards, and buy some seasonings." Gu Chengyu suddenly thought of the mold for making tofu. I'm afraid he won't be able to make it tomorrow.
.
"His fourth uncle's family does have those things. His family used to make tofu, but his boss found a good job in the county. His fourth uncle is old, and he doesn't make much money from tofu, so he doesn't want to do it.
Now, all those things are still piled up at home!" Gu Xi thought it was impossible and bought those things. His fourth uncle was very stingy and would not give them away for free.
"Then I'll go back and ask for it from my fourth uncle!" After saying this, Wang Quanshou became excited and immediately took over the task.
"Come on now! Your fourth uncle is so stingy, why would he be willing to give it to you? He would rather leave it collecting dust than give it to you! I think it's better to pay for it, and when the time comes, he will see that our business is good.
Jealous!"
Wang Quanshou made Gu Xi feel a little embarrassed, so he just laughed twice and stopped talking.
"Father, mother! The head of the family and I are going back now. The two children are still at home. There is a lot of work at home, so we have to go back early." After Gu Xi settled the matter, he thought about the two children at home.
I couldn't sit still.
"That's fine! The second child hasn't come back yet. You'll come tomorrow anyway. The two babies are at home, so go back early! Bring the baby tomorrow. I haven't seen him for a long time." Dad Gu
Jian's daughter said goodbye but didn't stay. She was always worried with her two children at home.
"Hey! Let's go first!" Gu Xi pulled Wang Quanshou up from the stool and prepared to go home early.
Seeing this, Gu Chengyu also stood up, "Sister-in-law, brother-in-law, I'll let Mingmo take you back! The carriage should be faster." There is a carriage at home, but there is no reason for the two of them to walk back.
"Ah! I forgot. Xiaobao is back. You guys go back in a carriage!" Because Gu Chengyu often uses carriages, Father Gu didn't think of it for a moment. The cow in the house is shared by several houses, so whoever needs it can take it.
Yes, this time Mr. He put her on an ox cart and took her back to her parents' home. Now she is not at home.
Gu Chengyu escorted Gu Xi and the others to the courtyard gate. As they were walking on the road, they saw a patch on Wang Quanshou's trouser legs. He frowned slightly. Every time Gu Xi came, Gu's father paid a lot of money, so why was he still wearing patched clothes?
Gu Chengyu called Ming Mo and took a pack of pastries brought back from Fucheng, preparing for Gu Xi to take them back to the children. She turned around and thought about it. The second sister and niece in the family often buy jewelry, and the eldest sister does not often live together.
, besides, it’s a rare time to come back, and I’m not close to him. Today is the most talked about time.
Since he was here, he didn't want to favor one over the other. He returned to the front yard and took out a pair of gold bracelets from the space. This one was just right for Wang Tian'er. Originally, he thought it was heavy and planned to buy it for Erya.
He put the jewelry box and pastries together, gave them to Mingmo, and told him to send them home and come back.
"Xiaobao! Is that dried bean curd you mentioned really possible?" Ms. Lu was sitting on the kang embroidering purses when she suddenly asked Gu Chengyu who had just entered the main room.
"Of course, I'll wait for eldest sister and the others to prepare it tomorrow. Let's try cooking some. Dried tofu tastes good. How many kinds of dishes can it be made with?" Gu Chengyu thought of fried tofu, which is an ingredient for hot pot!
He has always wanted to launch hot pot, but he felt that the ingredients were too monotonous. Once he made it with fried tofu and vermicelli, plus some fish balls and the like, it would definitely be a hot seller at Juxianglou.
"What you said to them, don't let it slip to your third brother, otherwise your third sister-in-law will be unhappy!" Mrs. Lu couldn't explain clearly to this daughter-in-law. At first she thought she was sweet, but later she felt that she was mean-spirited.
She has too many children. Now that she finally got pregnant, her temper is much more violent than before.
"How can I be so stupid? Don't worry, mother! Will the third brother come back today?" Logically speaking, Father Gu and the others should have sent the news that he had won the scholarship to the town.
"Who knows?" Mrs. Lu replied angrily. The third child had become more and more separated from him recently. It was all because of the instigation of the woman, and the number of times he came back was much less than before.
When the afterglow of the sunset faded in the horizon, Gu Chengyu heard Gu Chengyi's voice, and he was greeting Gu Chengli.
"Second brother, you are running outside all day long. What are you doing? I never see you." Gu Chengli finally caught the person this time and took the opportunity to ask.
"Where can I go? Just in the fields! If you have nothing to do, just wander around the village!" Gu Chengyi's voice was a little impatient.
"Why didn't I see you in the field? The grass in your field has grown so tall, and you don't know how to pull it out? Why are you wandering around the village? I didn't see you in the village either." Gu Chengli was a little confused, but logically
He said that the second brother couldn't run far without driving a bullock cart, so where else could he go? But he really didn't see Gu Chengyi in the village.
