Mengyu looked at Gu Dongxing with a teasing look in her eyes.
Gu Dongxing, however, kept his eyes straight. He didn't seem to hear the girl's words, nor did he see the teasing look in Mengyu's eyes.
The girl became even more angry.
Seeing Gu Dongxing's attitude, Mengyu ignored the girl and left with the family of four.
In this way, Mengyu's family of two became a family of six. When they arrived at the newly bought house, the four newly bought people knelt in front of Mengyu and Gu Dongxing: "Please give me your name, Master."
Mengyu was surprised: "Aren't you all famous?"
No one wants to lose their name.
"That was the name given by the previous owner. Even the surname was given by the previous owner. Now that he has a new owner, the new owner will naturally give him the name."
He looked at Gu Dongxing and said, "In that case, let's give you another name. My husband's family name is Gu, and you should follow it from now on. You two adults should still use your original names. I usually call you Gu."
The man’s name is Gu Da, and the woman’s name is Gu Ma. As for the two children, the boy’s name is Gu Xiaonian and the girl’s name is Gu Xiaohong.”
When the four of them saw that Mengyu actually gave them the surname of their master, they were all happy and grateful. Because most servants only gave them names, and few gave them surnames. However, only old servants with great hard work and merit could give them the surname of their master.
Have this treatment.
What's more, calling the male servant Gu Da means that he will be the head of the family in the future.
Mengyu said some more rules, such as being loyal and not betraying, and divided the work between the four of them.
Gu Da is responsible for external affairs, and Gu Ma is responsible for internal affairs. But more specifically, there is no clear distinction, because there are only four people, there is no way to subdivide them, and everyone does something together.
Because the house had just been bought, it lacked everything except basic furniture. Mengyu first arranged for the four of them to clean the room at home, then she and Gu Dongxing put down their things, and planned to go out for a shopping spree.
In life, food and clothing are two important things. Food is a big deal, so the two of them went to buy food first.
There are two rice shops in the town, one is Liujia Rice Shop and the other is Zhengjia Rice Shop. The two of them entered Liujia Rice Shop first.
"Boss, how do you sell this food?"
The owner of the rice shop saw that the clothes of Mengyu and the two were not very good (in order to make his identity match the people who came out of the mountains, the robes were transformed into old clothes), so he was not very enthusiastic towards the two of them.
Just say: "Brown rice costs eight cents per catty, and black flour costs ten cents per catty."
Mengyu was depressed because they could only afford brown rice and black noodles. It seemed that no matter what world we were in, there were always people who looked down upon others.
She asked calmly: "Where's the polished rice and white flour? How much does it cost per pound?"
The waiter at the shop immediately said, "I asked you about the price and you can't afford it, so why don't you ask."
Mengyu was still waiting to talk, but Gu Dongxing pulled Mengyu away. As he walked away, he said, "Don't do business with people who look down on others."
The waiter in the shop suddenly became angry: "Who are you calling a dog?"
"Whoever promises is a dog!" Mengyu turned around and said.
"You rebelled against me and you dared to call me a dog!" The waiter chased me out of the door and yelled at Mengyu and me: "Poor ghosts, poor ghosts who can't afford polished rice and white noodles for the rest of their lives!"
Mengyu wanted to look back, but was dragged away by Gu Dongxing.
When the two of them arrived at Zheng's rice shop diagonally across the street, Mengyu still asked: "How do you sell all this grain?"
Zhengjia Rice Shop saw the two people coming out of Liujia Rice Shop and being chased and scolded by Liujia Rice Shop. He thought they wanted to compare shopping, so he said: "Brown rice costs eight cents per catty, and ordinary fine rice costs ten cents per catty.
Polished rice costs fourteen cents per catty, black flour ten cents per catty, ordinary flour twelve cents per catty, refined flour sixteen cents per catty. Small yellow rice costs eighteen cents per catty, and glutinous rice costs twenty cents per catty.”
After hearing this, Mengyu said directly: "Weigh for me two hundred kilograms of polished rice, two hundred kilograms of fine noodles, fifty kilograms of small yellow rice, and twenty kilograms of glutinous rice." She remembered something, and then asked: "Can you help deliver the goods?
