Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 175 Handkerchiefs

Gu Yumei was frightened by a few bastards talking dirty around the courtyard wall. She has been honest for more than a month, but she is still jealous of Gu Jinli in her heart, thinking that she is just lucky, so she made tofu and seasonings .

If she is willing to do it, she will be able to make something that sells better than tofu and seasonings.

But it's just thinking about it, she can't even make tofu and seasonings, let alone other new things that sell well.

Speaking of this, Gu Yumei felt angry, and said that several companies are in the tofu and spice business together, but so far, they don't know how the tofu is made?

They all know soaking soybeans, grinding beans, straining soybean milk, and boiling soybean milk. They also know that tofu needs to be marinated, but they don't know what the brine is.

Without that kind of brine, she would never even try to make tofu.

And the seasoning spices, she knows the raw materials of several spices, but she just can't match the delicious taste.

She tried to grab a handful of each spice and mixed it, but the taste made her want to vomit, not to mention the freshness, it almost killed her!

The second aunt found out about her grabbing spice powder to make spices, and the second aunt scolded her severely, saying that she was a waste of things, and the handfuls she grabbed could be sold for tens of pennies.

She was not convinced, but she had no choice but to hold her breath.I was so bored at home, I wanted to go out to play with the girls in the village, but I was afraid of meeting bastards, so I dared not go out.Now because of the need to open a workshop, people from the village come to flatter her every day.

"Sister Mei, these are eggs boiled by my sister-in-law's family in the morning. Try them, they are delicious." He Xiangzi's daughter-in-law took out two eggs and put them on the table for Gu Yumei to eat.

Gu Yumei glanced at the two eggs, picked up a bean dregs cake, took a small bite, swallowed it slowly, and said, "My family is not short of eggs, you can take them back."

Since starting the tofu business, her family's life has become easier. Although she can't eat meat every day, her father loves them and gives them an egg every day.So trying to bribe her with two eggs is impossible.

When He Xiangzi's daughter-in-law heard this, her face turned pale, and He Danhua hurriedly said: "Sister Mei, then you can eat my candied dates. My father bought them in the town and said they were soaked with honey. , it's sweet."

He Danhua smiled, opened the handkerchief carefully, and handed a candied date in front of Gu Yumei.

"Danhua, there are at least six candied dates in this town, and they are all wrapped in red paper. You really bought this candied date at home? Could it be the garbage picked up in some corner?" He Cui'er mumbled With a smile on her face, she exposed He Danhua's lies in one sentence.

He Danhua's face suddenly turned pale and pale, and He Cuier was right.Her family is poor, so how can she afford candied dates? This candied date was given by a rich man when her father was doing odd jobs in the town, and each worker had one piece. Her father didn't eat it, so he took it home and saved it for her mother, saying that Save it for gifts, or for entertaining guests.

It happened that the Gu family was going to open a workshop, and her parents wanted to work in the Gu family's workshop. Seeing that she was about the same age as Gu Yumei, they asked her to bring candied dates to curry favor with Gu Yumei, so that she would agree to allow her family to work in a workshop.

Gu Yumei was very happy to be held by someone, but when she heard this, her face darkened, and she was allowed to eat the things she picked up. He Danhua didn't want to come to her family's workshop to work.

She snorted coldly and ignored He Danhua.

He Danhua wanted to explain, but He Cuier took the conversation away: "Sister Mei, look at this, this is a handkerchief my elder brother bought at Qingyun Embroidery in the county seat, it is made of brocade, it is a handkerchief in the county seat The things only used by rich ladies are very expensive, one cost [-] Wen, my elder brother bought two, I kept one for myself, this one is specially given to you, you take it."

brocade?

Gu Yumei's eyes lit up when she heard the word brocade.

When I was in my hometown, life at home was good, and she also had a brocade handkerchief.But since fleeing the famine, she used burlap. Although life is better now, the family has developed a frugal atmosphere. Although her father loves her, he only buys cotton and brocade for her, not for her.

Although Gu Yumei knew it was not good to accept this handkerchief, but the handkerchief in her hand was made of cotton cloth, and a cluster of grass was embroidered with thick thread alone on it, it couldn't compare to the brocade handkerchief He Cuier gave.The brocade is so smooth that people can see it, and a peony is embroidered with thin red thread on the brocade, which is so beautiful that it dazzles people's eyes.

Gu Yumei was very moved, and looked at the handkerchief several times. He Cui'er is a smart person. Seeing her like this, she immediately put the handkerchief into her hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Mei, take it. From now on, we will each have a brocade cloth." Handkerchiefs, also hand in handkerchiefs as the rich ladies say."

Gu Yumei held the brocade handkerchief in her hand, and the corners of her mouth curled up. This one hundred penny handkerchief is better than the ten penny cotton handkerchief. It was soft and comfortable in her hand, and she immediately felt that she was precious. .

However, how should she reject He Cuier and not let her family come to work in the workshop?

Surprisingly, He Cui'er didn't say a word, as if she didn't give her such an expensive handkerchief to make a living.

Gu Yumei was very satisfied with this, and felt that He Cuier was different from He Danhua and Xiangzi's sister-in-law. She really wanted to make friends with her, not just for a job in the workshop.

It seemed that He Cui'er really came to deliver the handkerchief. Seeing that Gu Yumei took the handkerchief, she sat down for a while, then got up and said goodbye: "There is still farm work to do at home, so I won't stay any longer, I have to go home and do some work."

After saying that, she returned home, leaving only Mrs. Xiangzi and He Danhua behind.

He Danhua was still flattering Gu Yumei, but Xiangzi's sister-in-law looked at Gu Yumei a little strangely.Not long after, she also said goodbye and left, but instead of going home, she stood at the intersection at the end of the village, waiting for Mrs. Chen.

When Mrs. Chen and the others came back from their stall, Mrs. Xiangzi stopped her and whispered something to her. Mrs. Chen exploded immediately, cursing: "This idiot, she can't live in peace!"

Chen didn't even want the burden, and hurried home, Gu Dagui shouted behind her: "You mother, why are you so crazy, it's only a few steps away, you still throw the burden here, you will die if you pick it back? "

"Yes!" Mrs. Chen turned her head and yelled at Gu Dagui, which frightened Gu Dagui. The woman was really angry.

When Mrs. Chen returned home, she saw Gu Yumei sitting in her room, slowly eating a piece of bean dregs cake with one hand, and after eating, holding a brocade handkerchief, slowly wiping the corners of her mouth, while He Danhua in the room was still praising her : "Sister Mei, your movements are so beautiful, you look like a rich lady in the town."

Damn Miss Rich, Gu Yumei is just a country girl!

Mrs. Chen was about to explode, suppressing her anger, and said to He Danhua: "My sister Mei still has things to do, you should go home first."

He Danhua saw that Mrs. Chen's expression was very bad, so she didn't dare to say anything, and ran away in a hurry.
