Chapter 126 The favor of dripping water must be repaid by the spring?
Gu Chunxiu looked at Gu Raniang, "It's hard to hire such a chef, let alone buy it! Is it from Master Yan?"
Gu Ranniang gave her a cold look, and then glanced around at the people with their ears up, "My aunt has lived in Yangliu Town for a long time, I'm afraid she doesn't know what's going on outside, and the women don't understand how much the machine made by Jiulang has done for us. Contribution! A few days ago, my Jiuyun Pavilion recruited a few weavers who came here because of Jiulang's credit! What's so difficult about recruiting a chef back? Auntie forgot, we do Are there tiger skin wontons, Huangqiao biscuits and char siu pork?" He asked while looking at Gu Chunxiu with a smile.
The dishes on the table are not only made by Chef Fan, but also the usual dishes of the Gu family, such as potato croquettes, lotus leaf steamed buns with dried plums, braised pork and barbecued pork.
Gu Chunxiu's smile froze slightly, it seemed that their family was really offended, even Gu Raniang didn't have any respect for her eldest aunt!
Mrs. Wang greeted Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhou with a smile, "His aunt has a taste of this garlic pork ribs. It was made by Jiulang! When you make this garlic pork ribs, you can taste sour, but you don't see any garlic. Yes, it took me a few times to learn it!"
Mrs. Zhao glanced at Gu Chunxiu, smiled and picked up a piece of pork ribs.
Mrs. Zhou also praised with a smile, "I tried it just now, and it tastes really good! I see that all the children like it, so I don't want to pinch it!"
The table suddenly became peaceful.
Gu Silang cast a gloomy look at Gu Chuhan, who was being held up by everyone, and lowered his eyes to eat.If he had never been outside, he might still believe that a chef with this kind of cooking skills would be a master chef in any restaurant. How much monthly money can Gu Chuhan give?And sold himself!But it was obtained by seducing men!He was a lowly banker, kicked him out of the house, and took all the family property. Gu Raniang and the others also learned the same method after him!
Although they are envious, everyone knows that the Gu family's third house is different now. The home furnishing business was split from the He family, and they started a partnership with the Yan family. They don't know how much money they made.
After eating, Xie Fangyun took the opportunity to talk to Gu Lingshan, "In the blink of an eye, Xiuyun has been dead for three years! She is a miserable person, and she persevered when she was suffering. Now that the hardships have come to an end, you have made a fortune, but she can't see her! I didn’t even enjoy one day’s blessing!”
"I don't know what Eldest Sister wants to say?" Gu Lingshan asked her.
Xie Fangyun paused, "I miss Xiuyun! I dreamed of her a few days ago! She..."
Shouting outside the courtyard, Gu Lingshan took a look, then went out to check the situation.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Xie Fangyun hurriedly stopped him, "Ling Shan! I have something to ask you!"
Gu Lingshan stopped to look at her, "What do you want, big sister?"
Xie Fangyun turned around and looked at Xie Xiangyun outside, "Whatever you need, Xiangyun will always help you if you ask for it, and never ask you for anything in return. It's just that Xiangyun's life is not easy now! Although our family is difficult, fortunately my family is big. Lang Erlang is married to a daughter-in-law, and both of them are down-to-earth and willing to work. Even if we earn less, it is our fate to live a more miserable life! Xiangyun gave birth to her son with great difficulty, and was seriously ill a few days ago. Shao Yinzizhi. Her man is not a serious person, he dislikes her for having a sick son, and he doesn't know about it outside, and even threatens not to be afraid of Xie's family, let alone who will support her!"
"Big sister wants our family to support his aunt?" Gu Lingshan asked.
Xie Fangyun sighed, "Xiangyun has a stubborn temper. She didn't want to come over when she said she wanted to set up a stall. It was Jiulang who insisted on calling her over, saying that he didn't want to ask you for forgiveness! I was thinking that Xiuyun is no longer here. The three of us sisters are left with me and her! I can’t stand by and watch her suffer so hard! So I thought, opening a small workshop or something with her in partnership can also make her start a career, and it’s also considered a blessing from you. With Yun backing her up, her in-laws will never dare to despise her again!"
"Your family is not bad! Why do you want to open a workshop?" Gu Lingshan raised his eyebrows.
"I'm also afraid that Xiangyun will be stubborn, and I don't want to accept your help! That's why I said to partner with her and pull her together!" Xie Fangyun said with red eyes.
Gu Lingshan's eyes turned slightly, "Then what kind of workshop do you want to open, big sister?"
Xie Fangyun's eyes flashed with joy, and he sighed slightly, "I see that the workshop you opened has konjac flour, barbecued pork, and dried plum vegetables. I don't know what to do, and I don't have an idea."
"Then let's wait until you think of an idea!" Gu Lingshan said, then turned and went out.
"Ling Shan! Ling Shan!" Xie Fangyun hurriedly called him, she was crying so sadly today, if she didn't take advantage of her mood and affection today, and wait for Gu Lingshan to find a bride again, there would be no Xie family in her eyes up!
Gu Lingshan ignored him and went out to see off the guests.
Xie Fangyun was secretly annoyed, and her face was ugly.
Gu Ruoniang came out of the hut, and seeing her annoyed look, she blinked.
Seeing that it was her, Xie Fangyun's complexion quickly changed, and he called her with a smile, "Ruo Niang! What are you doing here? Don't you already have a maid, why didn't you follow me?"
"Chunnuan went to bring me Xiaoshi tea!" Gu Ruoniang replied to her.
Xie Fangyun looked at her, thought for a while, and told her how pitiful Xie Xiangyun was. She felt sorry for her little sister, "Your mother is no longer here. My family was too poor before and I didn't have much ability. Mother! Now your aunt is going through a difficult time, and I can’t help you much, so you can help your aunt! Your ninth brother was not easy to support when you were young, and your aunt gave you millet every month!"
Gu Ruoniang looked at her with a puzzled face, "Auntie's wonton stall is very good! Yangliu Town is a big town, and I did calculations when I was practicing accounting. You can earn a little one hundred taels a year!"
Xie Fangyun's face froze immediately, "I want to ask you to help your aunt! She is the most stubborn person, and she is going through a difficult time, and she doesn't want to speak to you, and she doesn't want Thorn! If you help, your aunt can do it too." It's much better, I won't end up miserable like your mother!"
"My aunt looks very good, she won't be like my mother! Her family has more than ten acres of land. Does she have any brothers and sisters? She also sells noodle fish and konjac flour konjac tofu. Although she earns a little less, she can still live Let's do it!"
Xie Fangyun explained, "Then on the surface, you know that your cousin is often sick. He was seriously ill a few days ago, and spent all the little money the family saved!" He sighed deeply.
"I didn't hear what my aunt said! I'll ask my aunt!" Gu Ruoniang went to find Xie Xiangyun while talking.
"Hey! Ruoniang! Your aunt has a strong temper. If you ask her, she will definitely not want to make you suffer! I only knew about it when I went to see her and a few children a while ago." Xie Fangyun held her back.
Gu Ruoniang's eyes flickered, "Then I'll ask brother Jiu to help my aunt!"
Xie Fangyun held her back again, and said that Xie Xiangyun didn't want Thorne because he was stubborn. She and Xie Xiangyun partnered to open a workshop, and she would agree without pressure!Let her talk to Gu Lingshan and see what kind of workshop they can do.
"Oh!" Gu Ruoniang responded, went to Xie Xiangyun and asked her, "Auntie! Auntie! Auntie said that your family is going through a difficult time, and she wants you to open a workshop with her and ask my family to help! She also said that you don't want to mention it to us, no Willing Thorne! Is it true?"
She looked innocent, but she stopped Xie Xiangyun from asking.
Xie Fangyun, who came out from there, also panicked, very upset, "Xiangyun..."
Seeing her winking, Xie Xiangyun understood what was going on, frowned immediately, and didn't speak immediately.
Others also looked over.
"Why didn't my aunt say it? When my family made sauerkraut, my aunt also followed suit. This year, I can make sour cabbage to make money! I also said that Thorn, my aunt lent us money before, and we returned the money to my aunt. I also taught my aunt how to make noodle fish, konjac flour and konjac tofu, haven't you already repaid your favor?" Gu Ruoniang was puzzled, and she couldn't do it.
Xie Xiangyun blushed for a while, then turned black for a while, "No... I didn't..." I was angry and annoyed, the elder sister wanted to have a workshop, but she called her name and said such things, now she can't get down from the stage!
Gu Ruoniang asked Xie Yuanzhi very puzzled, "Elder uncle said the same thing about repaying kindness, second uncle! The master said that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. Doesn't the kindness of a drop of water have to be repaid by a spring?"
Seeing her innocence, Xie Yuanzhi looked at Gu Chuhan subconsciously, and seeing her with a faint smile on her face, he didn't dare to underestimate her, so he replied with a smile, "Second uncle hasn't seen a book for many years, so I really don't understand this nonsense !Which book writes that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a fountain!? The second uncle only knows how to pay the debt and pay the money!”
Seeing that he was not fooled, Gu Ruoniang nodded half-understood, "But the master said, he wants to teach us to be good people! He said that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by the spring! The aunt's family loaned us a tael of silver and had to pay back ten dollars." Times 100 taels, and two taels of silver is 200 taels! So, it seems that our family still owes my aunt’s family more than 200 taels of silver! Isn’t it? Auntie?”
Xie Yuanzhi frowned and glared at Xie Xiangyun secretly.What's the matter, who said that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, and even get ten times the debt!What did you want from them?
Xie Xiangyun's face turned blue and red, and he said angrily, "No! Relatives should help each other! I lent it to your mother because she is my sister. If she has something to do, I should help her! There is no other kind of gratitude. Who did you listen to? Auntie never said these words!"
"I said it!" Xie Fangyun hurriedly admitted before Gu Ruoniang identified her, "I saw that Xiangyun's life was not easy, and wanted to help her, so I said to open a workshop with her and come to find her. Ling Shan and Jiu Lang asked for an idea! Xiangyun has a stubborn temper and is unwilling to ask for help. He said that he was begging to come over and let people gossip, saying that we asked for kindness, which was not something that was originally done. Instead, our relationship was broken! Ruo Niang was young and ignorant, I didn’t understand what I said, I misunderstood it!”
Her explanation was all because of Gu Ruoniang's own misunderstanding.
"Oh! That's why I misunderstood!" Gu Ruoniang was not angry, she nodded her head, and asked Gu Chuhan again, "Ninth brother! Since my aunt's family is not easy, let's help my aunt! We help my aunt when she is in trouble. After leaving my aunt, my aunt's family will repay us in the future!"
Back to repaying the favor.
Gu Chuhan smiled and patted her head, "It's late this year, next year! Auntie's in-laws are still young and can take care of the business of the stall. See if you have time tomorrow, I will ask Mother Chu to bring the pancake fruit It’s the same as hand-cooked cakes taught you, and skewers, selling more, can also attract more diners, and the income will be more! Let’s get through the present!”
Xie Xiangyun looked at it and had no choice but to respond.
Xie Fangyun's face froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He wanted to laugh but couldn't.
Xie Yuanzhi withdrew his gaze and hummed inwardly.Among the members of the Xie family, the elder sister's house was the first to set up a tiger skin wonton stall and slowly made a fortune, and now they have plans!Repay the favor, how much favor has been given is not yet finished! ?This was a waste of effort, but it helped Xiangyun, and made Xiangyun ungrateful and annoyed in his heart!
But in the next moment, he lowered his face and looked at Gu Chuhan with a smile, "Jiulang! Let your second aunt come too when you're learning those strings! Your second cousin has been studying hard recently, and the master said that he has calmed down a lot and made progress. Quite a lot, your second aunt and I are planning to raise more money to send him to the academy! The academy teaches well and costs a lot, so your second aunt and I don’t need to work hard!"
"That's fine! Let the second aunt come over tomorrow!" Gu Chuhan nodded immediately.
Xie Yuanzhi heaved a sigh of relief, and the smile deepened on his face, "Okay! Then we'll come back tomorrow!" Calling Mrs. Zhou, Xie Siniang left without delay.
Mrs. Zhao also wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth.
Gu Chuhan turned around and handed over the guests to Gu Lingshan, who went back to find Chef Fan and Mother Chu to buy things to make skewers.
Seeing that Gu Lingshan also had a bad expression, he said that he would not go far away, but he urged them to leave. The second room had already gone far away, so he couldn't hold back his face, so he pursed his lips and left for the time being.
Xie Xiangyun also left quickly, unwilling to go with Xie Fangyun.
Xie Fangyun watched, but didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly chased her away.
Everyone left, and only a few people from the Gu family were left. Gu Chuhan came out, "Fifth Uncle! Fifth Aunt! Tomorrow, I'm going to learn from you, so come too! Fifth Uncle, by the way, tell my sister-in-law that the two of you can also work together as a partner." Open a shop in town!"
Gu Laowu was a little surprised, but he pursed his lips, "Can you make money by doing this?"
"If it's cold today, it's time to eat kebabs! As long as you cook them deliciously, with high quality and low price, and sell a lot, you will naturally earn more!" Chuan Chuan shop!There is also a place to eat skewers like this!
Gu Lao Wu looked at Wang Shi and asked her what she meant.
Mrs. Wang responded with a smile, "That's fine! Your sister-in-law left early, let your fifth uncle tell her! It was a little cold in our shed, and I was thinking about opening a shop, so I fell asleep and hit the pillow!"
Gu Chuhan nodded, turned around and went back to work.
Mrs. Wang smiled and said to Mrs. Gu and Gu Lingshan, "Looking at Jiulang's young age, he is safer than adults! He only wants to help relatives, and wants to pull them up! His temper is like the third brother, but he is like the third brother in his heart. She's as soft as my sister-in-law!"
"Jiulang has grown up since the day the third daughter-in-law left!" Mrs. Gu was relieved and emotional at the same time.
Gu Lingshan turned his head, his eyes were pained.
Mrs. Wang called Gu Lao Wu to leave and go home, "Pour me a glass of water!"
"Grandma! You have to go to class again!?" Gu Lao Wu muttered dissatisfiedly, but still took the kettle from the charcoal stove and poured a cup of hot water for her.
Mrs. Wang laughed, "Look, as long as you are upright and upright, Jiulang will remember in his heart that he wants to pull us all together! You should stop thinking about those biased thoughts in the future, and make people like Jiulang and others think so. Not good! It’s already done well enough!”
"Yes yes yes!" Gu Laowu responded perfunctorily.
However, he partnered with the Wang family to open a dried plum vegetable workshop. Although there are few people, he has made a lot of dried plum vegetables. This year, he sold a lot of money, which made Gu Laowu somewhat satisfied.
Mrs. Wang asked him to count the money with pen and paper, "I'll count the money to open the shop first, you ride a donkey to find Chunying, tell her about it!"
"Why didn't you say it just now? I'll catch up now, and Chunying has already reached home!" Gu Lao Wu glared at her.
"If you want to go home, you can discuss things after dinner, and when people leave, Chunying will also leave, so go over and let me know!" Wang said with a smile.
Gu Laowu curled his lips, "So that the Qian family will appreciate it, right! You're all for Sanfang!" Seeing her stare, "Got it! Got it! I'm going!"
Mrs. Wang shook her head with a smile. The Gu family was at a time when they were making a fortune, and they worked together to grow the old Gu family!Otherwise, even if Dalang is in the early stage and Jiulang becomes a high-ranking official, the other houses will not be able to go hand in hand with each other. Deal with it, it will be easy!
Knowing that the Gu family wanted Gu Chunying to partner with Wufang to open a shop, the Qian family was very happy, and immediately agreed.Although it's a partnership, it's much better than setting up a noodle fish stall!Moreover, Wufang knows how to behave, and is not as treacherous, greedy and domineering as Dafang and Erfang.
That night, the dining table of the third room of the Gu family was served with some balls and tempura.
"How about a taste first! These meatballs are not very easy to make. I tasted them first, and they were not bad! But there are many things to learn, and I'm afraid they won't be able to learn them tomorrow! I will keep Chef Fan at home most of the time. Stay for two days, let’s teach them the skewers first!” Gu Chuhan said, and picked up a pissing beef ball for Mrs. Gu, and put chopsticks for Gu Raniang and Gu Ruoniang.
"I'll pick it up myself! Hurry up and eat it!" Gu Lingshan told her not to pick it up.
Gu Shilang couldn't help laughing, "Father! You're thinking too much! Ninth brother picks food, never for men! It's all for grandma and second sister, Ruo Niang!"
Gu Lingshan also came to his senses, seeing Gu Chuhan tying a ball and putting it in her own bowl, he couldn't help laughing, "It's my father who is being sentimental!"
"Hey! Don't tell me! If you want to eat something from me, tell me sooner! I'll make it for you! Don't be hypocritical!" Gu Chuhan laughed immediately, and gave the ball to Gu Lingshan, "Come on! Dad! This is to honor you!"
"You brat! You're making fun of me!" Gu Lingshan scolded with a smile.
Over there, Gu Raniang also smiled and caught Gu Shilang, "Second Sister loves you!"
"Come on! Ninth brother loves you too!" Gu Chuhan also came up and pinched him three or four times.
In addition to the one I picked up, a bowl of meatballs piled up in Gu Shilang's bowl in an instant, Gu Ruonian didn't think it was enough, so she added another one silently, and wanted to put another one in for him.
"Ruo Niang! You won't learn well if you follow Brother Nine!" Gu Shilang said angrily.
"Who said that! How could I! If you want to talk about brother Jiu, you have been with him for a long time! You are even worse inside!" Gu Ruoniang raised her head to refute him.
Gu Shilang chuckled, turned his head and complained, "Ninth Brother! Look! Your image of being a bad boy has already been deeply rooted in people's hearts! I'm not born bad, I'm not inherited from my parents, I learned it from you!"
"Give me back the meatballs!" Gu Chuhan shouted.
Gu Ruoniang picked up the bowl, smiled and ran to Gu Lingshan to change seats.
Mrs. Gu also laughed, "Okay, okay! Let's eat quickly! The fried food is cold enough to eat!"
Gu Lingshan also had a smile on his face and a warm heart. He picked up vegetables for the children and pigeon eggs for Mrs. Gu.
The family eats happily.
Mother Chu was carrying bowls in the kitchen to finish the extra dishes prepared at noon. Hearing the laughter coming from the hall, she couldn't help laughing, "Master Jiu is the pistachio of the family! Can be amused by him!"
Chef Fan has finished his meal and is busy again. Although those meatballs and snacks are small and inconspicuous, it is not easy to achieve the effect that the young master said. There are also skewers of soup. Let's see the effect for the first time, since their family has to do it, it's natural to do the best when it comes out of his and Young Master's hands!
The next day, just after breakfast, Xie Yuanzhi bought chicken, duck and fish, "We don't know what to use to make skewers, so we bought some! Jiulang, do you think it will work?"
Gu Chuhan saw that he also bought all the greens, mushrooms, tofu and tofu skin, "I bought a lot! All right!"
Xie Yuanzhi laughed, and tentatively said to her, "It's not good to sell this skewer, or to set up a shop. Although the county town has a large area, it's not easy to set up a big stall."
Gu Chuhan understood what he meant, "I'm afraid I won't make a lot of money at first, so if you want to rent a shop, that's fine too! But it's more cost-effective to change the place, build a shed near the downtown area, and sell it at a stall first! Because there are also utensils and stoves to be made, the cost is estimated to be indispensable."
Xie Yuanzhi thought for a while, "That's fine! Then we'll listen to Jiulang!" He also wanted to ask if his family wanted to sell these skewers, and his family would go to the county to sell them, as long as they could!
Waiting for Xie Xiangyun, Gu Chunying's family members also came. Seeing that Mrs. Wang also came with things, Gu Chuhan first took the blueprints and explained to a few people, the selling points of strings, "The stove and utensils, even the table are integrated. If anyone comes, just gather around Sit around the stove, take what you eat from the utensils, and pay by bamboo sticks when you check out! A bamboo stick is worth one or two yuan, four or five yuan, and vegetables, mushrooms, and fried tofu at different prices are skewered , bean curd or meatballs and meat skewers. It’s not too hard, put a small frying pan next to it, some diners want to eat fried things, meat pieces, meatballs, vegetables and mushrooms, dipped in egg liquid, and served on the spot The pan is deep-fried, topped with sauce and sold now!"
As she spoke, several people hurriedly memorized it.
Xie Yuanzhi also took a pen and paper and wrote it down in detail.
After talking, Gu Chuhan let them start to do it, "Chef Fan, I will stay at home for two days, and you can come and learn from him today and tomorrow! If you don't understand, just ask!"
"You deliberately stayed at home to teach us! It also delayed your study!" Xie Yuanzhi said with a smile.
"Things are what I think, and I'm also afraid of making mistakes when I repeat them. I don't understand what I don't understand, and I don't understand even more!" Gu Chuhan made everyone busy, and she watched from the side.
They came early, and everyone was determined to learn well, and they all studied very seriously. After studying for a long time, they saw that they couldn't finish it in one day, so they hurriedly said that they would come back the next day as usual.
Gu Chuhan didn't wait for them to learn it, and handed it over to Mrs. Gu. She hurried back to school. Although she missed classes so much, the master's rules were not strict, but she would be punished if she tried it in the coming spring!
Before going, I took two more bags of meatballs and shared them with Mrs. Li and Hong Yu.The Li family went to pay homage to the Xie family one day in advance, and Hong Yu also remembered it, and added joss paper money as a gift in return.
Yan Jiang saw the delivery of the meatballs, and went back to gossip with Qingquan, "Young Master Gu Jiu doesn't care about our son at all! Sending food to his cousin's family, to Xue's family, he didn't think of him at all!" He looked a little gloating.
Qingquan winked at him.
Yan Jiang turned his head and saw Su Jin standing not far behind him, "Grand...Mr.... Maybe Mr. Gu Jiu wants you to eat with him!"
Su Jin chuckled softly, "Today and tomorrow, I won't go."
Seeing him go up to the attic, Yan Jiang hissed at Qingquan and lowered his voice, "What should I do? Young Master is angry! Do you want to send a letter to Young Master Gu Jiu?"
"Young Master's temperament is getting stronger and stronger, I think... it's better to send a message!" Qingquan said and nodded.
Then I made two snacks and sent them to Gu Chuhan, "Master, I'm a bit cold, so I won't come here today, let the slaves bring some food to Mr. Gu Jiu!"
"Oh! Thank you!" Gu Chuhan responded.
Heihu went up to pick up the food box.
Qingquan smiled lightly and stood still.
"What else is there?" Gu Chuhan raised his head and asked him.
"Mr. Gu Jiu! My son is not feeling well. Do you want to visit? There is a formation at the side door and it is difficult to find. This servant will take you!" Qingquan said with a smile.
Gu Chuhan didn't want to go!That's why I pretended that I didn't understand, and kept him cold, and he would be cold if he was cold!But this man had to remind her that he was still waiting to be urged to visit him!Taking a breath, Gu Chuhan pursed his lips, "What's wrong with your son?"
"It should be a cold, and I have some cough." Qingquan said with a smile.
Gu Chuhan really doesn't want to go there, go at this point, it's almost noon, and she still has to stay there for dinner!don't go!Send Qingquan back first, "I'll sort out my homework and visit your young master in the afternoon!"
Seeing her rejection all over her face, Qingquan coughed lightly and responded with a smile.
When going out to school, after thinking about it, Gu Chuhan pointed at Mrs. Zhang, "You know how to bake sweet potatoes?"
Sister-in-law Zhang is also good at tea and rice, and there is no problem with home-cooked dishes. I heard that she wants to eat roasted sweet potatoes, "Master Ninth wants to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so I will cook them for you at noon!"
Gu Chuhan frowned and thought for a while, "Forget it! You get a jar and slowly simmer it over charcoal fire. Not only sweet potatoes, but also two apples and pears, go buy them yourself!"
Mrs. Zhang responded.Seeing her go to the school, she hurriedly found a broken jar and came out. There were pears at home and pears left over from stewed rock sugar pears. I went to buy some apples and lit them on a charcoal fire to simmer.
When Gu Chuhan came back at noon, he checked that the sweet potatoes hadn't been roasted yet, and the apples and pears weren't soft either. "Continue to simmer!"
After noon, she just looked at it, and asked Mrs. Zhang to put the baked apples and pears in a stew pot to keep warm, and put two pieces of roasted sweet potatoes, and brought them over to visit Su Jin's illness.
Seeing that she really came, Yan Jiang went to pick her up, Qingquan reminded Su Jin, "Master! Cough!"
Su Jin raised his eyes, "What the hell are you pretending to be?"
"My lord, don't you have a cold and cough?" Qingquan looked at him suspiciously.
Su Jin watched Gu Chuhan come in with a food box, and glanced at Qingquan coldly.
Qingquan smiled and went up to greet Gu Chuhan.
"I heard that you have a cold and cough, and this baked pear is good for your cough! I'll give you two to eat!" Gu Chuhan handed the food box to Qingquan.
"Roasted pears? This is the first time I've heard of it!" Qingquan hurriedly opened it, looked in the stew pot, and brought it out, "There are also roasted sweet potatoes!"
Su Jin glanced at the roasted sweet potatoes, opened the lid of the stew pot, and the pears inside were roasted into a soft ball. You can imagine what the pear meat has become, "I didn't do my homework, so I just fiddled with these?"
Seeing that he was about to teach someone, Qingquan looked at Yan Jiang and coughed lightly to remind him.Mr. Gu Jiu puts so much effort into roasting pears!The slow fire is simmered slowly, and it takes several hours to simmer like this!The son is really incomprehensible!
Gu Chuhan pouted secretly, "It was made by the cook at home. I tasted two of them and they were delicious, so I brought them for you."
Seeing her reluctance written all over her body, Su Jin said, "Take the spoon."
Qingquan hurriedly responded with a smile, went down to get a spoon, and served Gu Chuhan the stewed bird's nest for her to eat.
The skin of the roasted pear was broken, and a spoonful of the soft pear flesh melted in the mouth. The soft and sweet pear fragrance filled the eyes and nose. Su Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression changed.
Seeing how useful he was, Qingquan gave him the peeled apple again.
"The roasted sweet potatoes are for you two!" Gu Chuhan called Qingquan and Yanjiang with the bird's nest.
The two thanked each other, and went down to eat the roasted sweet potatoes.
Gu Chuhan finished eating the bird's nest, and Su Jin also finished eating a baked pear and a baked apple, but he coughed twice because it was sweet.
"Since you are not feeling well, you don't need to give me lectures these two days! I will finish my homework by myself!" Gu Chuhan said immediately when he heard his coughing.
Su Jin looked up at her, "After eating your baked pears, it's ready."
The corners of Gu Chuhan's mouth twitched slightly, "It's so fast..."
"Yeah. Baked pears are delicious." Su Jin knew that other than her, no one else had so many ideas about making these things up.
Gu Chuhan immediately frowned, "I'll wait for Chef Fan to come back in two days, and I'll let you try other snacks! Make sure you haven't eaten any before!"
Su Jin poured a basin of water on her, "Next time, don't fiddle with these things when you have nothing to do, and don't do your job properly!"
Gu Chuhan glared at him viciously, "Then you don't have to eat!" He snorted, got up and left.
Qingquan hurriedly followed, "Master Gu Jiu! Stay for dinner! The servants are all ready!"
"No need! I want to go home and eat!" Gu Chuhan waved his hand and took Shi Zan back.
Qingquan turned around, "Master! Master Jiu seems to be angry?"
Su Jin frowned slightly, "I heard that, she whispered to me for being rigid." The rascal is evil, the old rascal, the old bull-nosed, now add more rigidity!
Qingquan and Yanjiang looked at each other, but they were also silent for a long time.It is really difficult for young master Gu Jiu to be with young master if he can be forced, it is difficult for young master Gu!
Su Jin came back the next day, but Gu Chuhan didn't wait at home and went to school.
On the third day, Gu Chuhan still didn't wait for him at home, and went to school again.
Su Jin just sat in the study and didn't leave.
Gu Chuhan was humming a song, and Gu Shilang came back from school, "Looks like it's going to snow, let's eat mutton pot tomorrow!"
"It's better to snow, but not rain! It's too cold!" Gu Shilang shivered slightly.
As soon as he got home, seeing Su Jin sitting at home with a big face, Gu Chuhan's face froze, and he subconsciously explained, "I've been busy in school these two days!"
Seeing her cautious and scared look, Su Jin wanted Qingquan to say that he didn't understand style, so she specially baked pears for him, "Roasted pears!" Bring the roasted pears, and forgive her, and stop being as knowledgeable as her!
The roasted pears were soft and sweet, and everyone in the family ate them, but they got tired after eating too much, so I didn't let them make them today.
When Gu Chuhan asked if there was anything in the kitchen, "Well, the fat chef is back, I'll make you some snacks first! I'll roast pears for you tomorrow! Is that okay?"
"Okay." A happy smile flashed in Su Jin's eyes.
Gu Chuhan cursed secretly: It's so hard to serve!Still marrying her, not even letting her die happy!
Gu Raniang was in a hurry to make clothes and didn't come back for dinner, and sometimes lived in Jiuyun Pavilion with the weavers.
At the dinner table were Su Jin, Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang.
Gu Shilang was suspicious, why did Mr. Su pester Brother Nine?Could it be that he knew Brother Nine's identity was not a boy?
After dinner, Su Jin gave another speech, then let Gu Chuhan go home.
"Ninth brother! This Su Jin knows your identity?" Gu Shilang sat down and asked her.
Gu Chuhan pursed his lips angrily, and uncovered her background!
Gu Shilang's face was ugly, "So he is so attentive, but he has evil intentions!? Ninth brother, do you like him like that?"
"Who said I like him like that!" Gu Chuhan glanced at him.
Gu Shilang hurriedly said, "I think so too! Apart from his good-looking face, he is a little bit knowledgeable, so he doesn't fit well! Brother Nine, you should be more vigilant, he is a Taoist monk, he is a mess! You don't want to be okay in the future To hell!?"
Gu Chuhan looked at him and nodded simply, now she can't handle it, if there are a few more ghosts, she will stop cooking!Like that perverted old bull-nosed Taoist priest?She doesn't have such a strong taste!
"Even if you really want to find it, you have to find a little fresh meat to ravage!" She giggled.
The corner of Gu Shilang's mouth twitched, "Okay! Brother Ninth, you must be careful!" Brother Ninth likes little loli and fresh meat, Su Jin's kind, and Brother Ninth's attitude doesn't seem like he would like it!
But the promised baked pears still had to be prepared.
Seeing that she is quite obedient, Su Jin is not so strict with her, and teaches her to play the piano when it snows to change her mood.
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and Yan Junfeng came over early to give the New Year's gift, and brought over the account, "This is the dividend of the mattress and sofa this year, and it belongs to the manufacturer."
Gu Chuhan opened it and took a look, "Sure enough, profiteers make money! Sell a sofa mattress, and it's sold for 10 taels!" She divides taels and 3000 taels a year in the manufacturing factory, and the sofa mattress has more than 2 taels.
"How? Considering me is still very good!?" Yan Junfeng asked with a smile.
"Not bad! Not bad! A little expert at making money! Existing like a money rake!" Gu Chuhan praised with a thumbs up.
Yan Junfeng knew that there was nothing wrong with counting on him to help with the conversation, but he couldn't hold him back!So the future brother-in-law must be coaxed!He took out the Chengni inkstone he had found, as well as the Chengxintang paper, two sets of pens and inks, "This Chengxintang paper is hard to find, it's for your sister to make a picture album! The Chengni inkstone is for you!"
Gu Chuhan chuckled at him.
Yan Junfeng hurriedly said, "I'll change some of your skewered meatballs! Barbecued pork! Sour cabbage and dried plums! Give me some local specialties!"
Gu Chuhan looked at him for a long time, and he felt guilty, "Thousands of taels of silver, you gave it lightly, so I can take it!?"
"It's easy to accept! Why don't you accept it! Just a little thought! We will be relatives in the future! We will be relatives sooner or later!" Yan Junfeng tugged at her and begged her to accept it.Jiulang couldn't pass this level, and Ranniang couldn't even pass it.
Gu Chuhan was so entangled by him that he couldn't help it, so he loaded him with some local products at home, and the inkstone thought about it, but returned it.
Yan Junfeng sighed helplessly, and left sadly.
"Brother Yan seems to be quite disappointed!" Gu Shilang said.
"What's so disappointing! It's normal to lose love a few times!" Gu Chuhan rolled his eyes.
Gu Shilang coughed lightly.
But when she got home, she saw the Chengni inkstone lying in her drawer, and one of her own inkstones was missing. "What a Yan Junfeng! You've even learned how to cheat!"
"Ninth Brother! What should we do?" Gu Shilang asked.
"What can I do! One piece of this thing is not a matter of 80 taels of silver! Go back to Fucheng and pay him back!" Gu Chuhan still has this sense of propriety.Accept what should be accepted, and never accept what should not be accepted!
"Then you take Su Jin's piano." Gu Shilang beeped softly.
"What?" Gu Chuhan didn't hear clearly.
Gu Shilang hurriedly said, "I shouldn't accept it! No matter how good the thing is, I can't accept it!"
Gu Chuhan nodded, and told Gu Raniang to put things aside and go to Fucheng.
The taste of the new year is getting heavier and heavier, the school has started to have a holiday, and the shops have also started to have a holiday.
The char siew shop was asked by everyone to close the holiday a few days later, and those who wanted to buy char siew were all queuing up, wanting to add another dish to the Chinese New Year dinner table.
So Gu Lingshan was busy until he was 28 years old, and then he stopped completely.
When the family returned home, there were servants ordering them around, so they didn't have to do anything, just thinking about the delicious food for the New Year.
Gu's second thought about Lian's cousin again, "Why don't you tell me about it! He's a filial piety, and three years are enough!"
Dafangzhuan controls the konjac flour workshop, Wufang also opened a shop, and also cooks prunes. Their family has divided 700 taels of silver this year, and the others will soon surpass them!
Gu Wulang heard the discussion between the two, and couldn't help but say, "Father! Mother! You'd better not bring up this matter, don't bring it up if you have nothing to do!" There is also a lot of time, and the general temperament has also been figured out.
"There's nothing you can't say! It's better to cheapen your cousin than others! If you really want your cousin to marry here, she'll be close to us!" Lian said with her lips pursed.
"Third Uncle won't agree! My aunt mentioned it, but Third Uncle pushed it back! Anyone who dares to mention it will have a grudge against whoever!" Gu Wulang reminded them not to be self-defeating.
Gu Lao Er frowned, "When did you hear that? It really happened?" He tried it last time, but he didn't find anything good.
"Small years ago! My aunt scolded my third uncle and my cousin angrily, none of them got married! The third uncle walked away with a cold face." Gu Wulang made it clear to him and let them dispel their thoughts.
"Your cousin is not bad-looking, and she is still a girl with yellow flowers. If you really tell him, he will be happy in his heart!" Lian didn't take it seriously, and planned to let her cousin come over for the Chinese New Year. Let Gu Lingshan meet people first. !
As long as it can be said, the cousin should also thank her. Although the third child is a bit older, he is not bad-looking, and he is also the head of the house. He will have two more children, and he will be able to divide the family property in the future!Sanfangguang has earned 2 taels of silver this year! ?And it's from He's family!There are also wonton shops!
(End of this chapter)
Gu Chunxiu looked at Gu Raniang, "It's hard to hire such a chef, let alone buy it! Is it from Master Yan?"
Gu Ranniang gave her a cold look, and then glanced around at the people with their ears up, "My aunt has lived in Yangliu Town for a long time, I'm afraid she doesn't know what's going on outside, and the women don't understand how much the machine made by Jiulang has done for us. Contribution! A few days ago, my Jiuyun Pavilion recruited a few weavers who came here because of Jiulang's credit! What's so difficult about recruiting a chef back? Auntie forgot, we do Are there tiger skin wontons, Huangqiao biscuits and char siu pork?" He asked while looking at Gu Chunxiu with a smile.
The dishes on the table are not only made by Chef Fan, but also the usual dishes of the Gu family, such as potato croquettes, lotus leaf steamed buns with dried plums, braised pork and barbecued pork.
Gu Chunxiu's smile froze slightly, it seemed that their family was really offended, even Gu Raniang didn't have any respect for her eldest aunt!
Mrs. Wang greeted Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhou with a smile, "His aunt has a taste of this garlic pork ribs. It was made by Jiulang! When you make this garlic pork ribs, you can taste sour, but you don't see any garlic. Yes, it took me a few times to learn it!"
Mrs. Zhao glanced at Gu Chunxiu, smiled and picked up a piece of pork ribs.
Mrs. Zhou also praised with a smile, "I tried it just now, and it tastes really good! I see that all the children like it, so I don't want to pinch it!"
The table suddenly became peaceful.
Gu Silang cast a gloomy look at Gu Chuhan, who was being held up by everyone, and lowered his eyes to eat.If he had never been outside, he might still believe that a chef with this kind of cooking skills would be a master chef in any restaurant. How much monthly money can Gu Chuhan give?And sold himself!But it was obtained by seducing men!He was a lowly banker, kicked him out of the house, and took all the family property. Gu Raniang and the others also learned the same method after him!
Although they are envious, everyone knows that the Gu family's third house is different now. The home furnishing business was split from the He family, and they started a partnership with the Yan family. They don't know how much money they made.
After eating, Xie Fangyun took the opportunity to talk to Gu Lingshan, "In the blink of an eye, Xiuyun has been dead for three years! She is a miserable person, and she persevered when she was suffering. Now that the hardships have come to an end, you have made a fortune, but she can't see her! I didn’t even enjoy one day’s blessing!”
"I don't know what Eldest Sister wants to say?" Gu Lingshan asked her.
Xie Fangyun paused, "I miss Xiuyun! I dreamed of her a few days ago! She..."
Shouting outside the courtyard, Gu Lingshan took a look, then went out to check the situation.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Xie Fangyun hurriedly stopped him, "Ling Shan! I have something to ask you!"
Gu Lingshan stopped to look at her, "What do you want, big sister?"
Xie Fangyun turned around and looked at Xie Xiangyun outside, "Whatever you need, Xiangyun will always help you if you ask for it, and never ask you for anything in return. It's just that Xiangyun's life is not easy now! Although our family is difficult, fortunately my family is big. Lang Erlang is married to a daughter-in-law, and both of them are down-to-earth and willing to work. Even if we earn less, it is our fate to live a more miserable life! Xiangyun gave birth to her son with great difficulty, and was seriously ill a few days ago. Shao Yinzizhi. Her man is not a serious person, he dislikes her for having a sick son, and he doesn't know about it outside, and even threatens not to be afraid of Xie's family, let alone who will support her!"
"Big sister wants our family to support his aunt?" Gu Lingshan asked.
Xie Fangyun sighed, "Xiangyun has a stubborn temper. She didn't want to come over when she said she wanted to set up a stall. It was Jiulang who insisted on calling her over, saying that he didn't want to ask you for forgiveness! I was thinking that Xiuyun is no longer here. The three of us sisters are left with me and her! I can’t stand by and watch her suffer so hard! So I thought, opening a small workshop or something with her in partnership can also make her start a career, and it’s also considered a blessing from you. With Yun backing her up, her in-laws will never dare to despise her again!"
"Your family is not bad! Why do you want to open a workshop?" Gu Lingshan raised his eyebrows.
"I'm also afraid that Xiangyun will be stubborn, and I don't want to accept your help! That's why I said to partner with her and pull her together!" Xie Fangyun said with red eyes.
Gu Lingshan's eyes turned slightly, "Then what kind of workshop do you want to open, big sister?"
Xie Fangyun's eyes flashed with joy, and he sighed slightly, "I see that the workshop you opened has konjac flour, barbecued pork, and dried plum vegetables. I don't know what to do, and I don't have an idea."
"Then let's wait until you think of an idea!" Gu Lingshan said, then turned and went out.
"Ling Shan! Ling Shan!" Xie Fangyun hurriedly called him, she was crying so sadly today, if she didn't take advantage of her mood and affection today, and wait for Gu Lingshan to find a bride again, there would be no Xie family in her eyes up!
Gu Lingshan ignored him and went out to see off the guests.
Xie Fangyun was secretly annoyed, and her face was ugly.
Gu Ruoniang came out of the hut, and seeing her annoyed look, she blinked.
Seeing that it was her, Xie Fangyun's complexion quickly changed, and he called her with a smile, "Ruo Niang! What are you doing here? Don't you already have a maid, why didn't you follow me?"
"Chunnuan went to bring me Xiaoshi tea!" Gu Ruoniang replied to her.
Xie Fangyun looked at her, thought for a while, and told her how pitiful Xie Xiangyun was. She felt sorry for her little sister, "Your mother is no longer here. My family was too poor before and I didn't have much ability. Mother! Now your aunt is going through a difficult time, and I can’t help you much, so you can help your aunt! Your ninth brother was not easy to support when you were young, and your aunt gave you millet every month!"
Gu Ruoniang looked at her with a puzzled face, "Auntie's wonton stall is very good! Yangliu Town is a big town, and I did calculations when I was practicing accounting. You can earn a little one hundred taels a year!"
Xie Fangyun's face froze immediately, "I want to ask you to help your aunt! She is the most stubborn person, and she is going through a difficult time, and she doesn't want to speak to you, and she doesn't want Thorn! If you help, your aunt can do it too." It's much better, I won't end up miserable like your mother!"
"My aunt looks very good, she won't be like my mother! Her family has more than ten acres of land. Does she have any brothers and sisters? She also sells noodle fish and konjac flour konjac tofu. Although she earns a little less, she can still live Let's do it!"
Xie Fangyun explained, "Then on the surface, you know that your cousin is often sick. He was seriously ill a few days ago, and spent all the little money the family saved!" He sighed deeply.
"I didn't hear what my aunt said! I'll ask my aunt!" Gu Ruoniang went to find Xie Xiangyun while talking.
"Hey! Ruoniang! Your aunt has a strong temper. If you ask her, she will definitely not want to make you suffer! I only knew about it when I went to see her and a few children a while ago." Xie Fangyun held her back.
Gu Ruoniang's eyes flickered, "Then I'll ask brother Jiu to help my aunt!"
Xie Fangyun held her back again, and said that Xie Xiangyun didn't want Thorne because he was stubborn. She and Xie Xiangyun partnered to open a workshop, and she would agree without pressure!Let her talk to Gu Lingshan and see what kind of workshop they can do.
"Oh!" Gu Ruoniang responded, went to Xie Xiangyun and asked her, "Auntie! Auntie! Auntie said that your family is going through a difficult time, and she wants you to open a workshop with her and ask my family to help! She also said that you don't want to mention it to us, no Willing Thorne! Is it true?"
She looked innocent, but she stopped Xie Xiangyun from asking.
Xie Fangyun, who came out from there, also panicked, very upset, "Xiangyun..."
Seeing her winking, Xie Xiangyun understood what was going on, frowned immediately, and didn't speak immediately.
Others also looked over.
"Why didn't my aunt say it? When my family made sauerkraut, my aunt also followed suit. This year, I can make sour cabbage to make money! I also said that Thorn, my aunt lent us money before, and we returned the money to my aunt. I also taught my aunt how to make noodle fish, konjac flour and konjac tofu, haven't you already repaid your favor?" Gu Ruoniang was puzzled, and she couldn't do it.
Xie Xiangyun blushed for a while, then turned black for a while, "No... I didn't..." I was angry and annoyed, the elder sister wanted to have a workshop, but she called her name and said such things, now she can't get down from the stage!
Gu Ruoniang asked Xie Yuanzhi very puzzled, "Elder uncle said the same thing about repaying kindness, second uncle! The master said that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. Doesn't the kindness of a drop of water have to be repaid by a spring?"
Seeing her innocence, Xie Yuanzhi looked at Gu Chuhan subconsciously, and seeing her with a faint smile on her face, he didn't dare to underestimate her, so he replied with a smile, "Second uncle hasn't seen a book for many years, so I really don't understand this nonsense !Which book writes that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a fountain!? The second uncle only knows how to pay the debt and pay the money!”
Seeing that he was not fooled, Gu Ruoniang nodded half-understood, "But the master said, he wants to teach us to be good people! He said that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by the spring! The aunt's family loaned us a tael of silver and had to pay back ten dollars." Times 100 taels, and two taels of silver is 200 taels! So, it seems that our family still owes my aunt’s family more than 200 taels of silver! Isn’t it? Auntie?”
Xie Yuanzhi frowned and glared at Xie Xiangyun secretly.What's the matter, who said that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, and even get ten times the debt!What did you want from them?
Xie Xiangyun's face turned blue and red, and he said angrily, "No! Relatives should help each other! I lent it to your mother because she is my sister. If she has something to do, I should help her! There is no other kind of gratitude. Who did you listen to? Auntie never said these words!"
"I said it!" Xie Fangyun hurriedly admitted before Gu Ruoniang identified her, "I saw that Xiangyun's life was not easy, and wanted to help her, so I said to open a workshop with her and come to find her. Ling Shan and Jiu Lang asked for an idea! Xiangyun has a stubborn temper and is unwilling to ask for help. He said that he was begging to come over and let people gossip, saying that we asked for kindness, which was not something that was originally done. Instead, our relationship was broken! Ruo Niang was young and ignorant, I didn’t understand what I said, I misunderstood it!”
Her explanation was all because of Gu Ruoniang's own misunderstanding.
"Oh! That's why I misunderstood!" Gu Ruoniang was not angry, she nodded her head, and asked Gu Chuhan again, "Ninth brother! Since my aunt's family is not easy, let's help my aunt! We help my aunt when she is in trouble. After leaving my aunt, my aunt's family will repay us in the future!"
Back to repaying the favor.
Gu Chuhan smiled and patted her head, "It's late this year, next year! Auntie's in-laws are still young and can take care of the business of the stall. See if you have time tomorrow, I will ask Mother Chu to bring the pancake fruit It’s the same as hand-cooked cakes taught you, and skewers, selling more, can also attract more diners, and the income will be more! Let’s get through the present!”
Xie Xiangyun looked at it and had no choice but to respond.
Xie Fangyun's face froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He wanted to laugh but couldn't.
Xie Yuanzhi withdrew his gaze and hummed inwardly.Among the members of the Xie family, the elder sister's house was the first to set up a tiger skin wonton stall and slowly made a fortune, and now they have plans!Repay the favor, how much favor has been given is not yet finished! ?This was a waste of effort, but it helped Xiangyun, and made Xiangyun ungrateful and annoyed in his heart!
But in the next moment, he lowered his face and looked at Gu Chuhan with a smile, "Jiulang! Let your second aunt come too when you're learning those strings! Your second cousin has been studying hard recently, and the master said that he has calmed down a lot and made progress. Quite a lot, your second aunt and I are planning to raise more money to send him to the academy! The academy teaches well and costs a lot, so your second aunt and I don’t need to work hard!"
"That's fine! Let the second aunt come over tomorrow!" Gu Chuhan nodded immediately.
Xie Yuanzhi heaved a sigh of relief, and the smile deepened on his face, "Okay! Then we'll come back tomorrow!" Calling Mrs. Zhou, Xie Siniang left without delay.
Mrs. Zhao also wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth.
Gu Chuhan turned around and handed over the guests to Gu Lingshan, who went back to find Chef Fan and Mother Chu to buy things to make skewers.
Seeing that Gu Lingshan also had a bad expression, he said that he would not go far away, but he urged them to leave. The second room had already gone far away, so he couldn't hold back his face, so he pursed his lips and left for the time being.
Xie Xiangyun also left quickly, unwilling to go with Xie Fangyun.
Xie Fangyun watched, but didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly chased her away.
Everyone left, and only a few people from the Gu family were left. Gu Chuhan came out, "Fifth Uncle! Fifth Aunt! Tomorrow, I'm going to learn from you, so come too! Fifth Uncle, by the way, tell my sister-in-law that the two of you can also work together as a partner." Open a shop in town!"
Gu Laowu was a little surprised, but he pursed his lips, "Can you make money by doing this?"
"If it's cold today, it's time to eat kebabs! As long as you cook them deliciously, with high quality and low price, and sell a lot, you will naturally earn more!" Chuan Chuan shop!There is also a place to eat skewers like this!
Gu Lao Wu looked at Wang Shi and asked her what she meant.
Mrs. Wang responded with a smile, "That's fine! Your sister-in-law left early, let your fifth uncle tell her! It was a little cold in our shed, and I was thinking about opening a shop, so I fell asleep and hit the pillow!"
Gu Chuhan nodded, turned around and went back to work.
Mrs. Wang smiled and said to Mrs. Gu and Gu Lingshan, "Looking at Jiulang's young age, he is safer than adults! He only wants to help relatives, and wants to pull them up! His temper is like the third brother, but he is like the third brother in his heart. She's as soft as my sister-in-law!"
"Jiulang has grown up since the day the third daughter-in-law left!" Mrs. Gu was relieved and emotional at the same time.
Gu Lingshan turned his head, his eyes were pained.
Mrs. Wang called Gu Lao Wu to leave and go home, "Pour me a glass of water!"
"Grandma! You have to go to class again!?" Gu Lao Wu muttered dissatisfiedly, but still took the kettle from the charcoal stove and poured a cup of hot water for her.
Mrs. Wang laughed, "Look, as long as you are upright and upright, Jiulang will remember in his heart that he wants to pull us all together! You should stop thinking about those biased thoughts in the future, and make people like Jiulang and others think so. Not good! It’s already done well enough!”
"Yes yes yes!" Gu Laowu responded perfunctorily.
However, he partnered with the Wang family to open a dried plum vegetable workshop. Although there are few people, he has made a lot of dried plum vegetables. This year, he sold a lot of money, which made Gu Laowu somewhat satisfied.
Mrs. Wang asked him to count the money with pen and paper, "I'll count the money to open the shop first, you ride a donkey to find Chunying, tell her about it!"
"Why didn't you say it just now? I'll catch up now, and Chunying has already reached home!" Gu Lao Wu glared at her.
"If you want to go home, you can discuss things after dinner, and when people leave, Chunying will also leave, so go over and let me know!" Wang said with a smile.
Gu Laowu curled his lips, "So that the Qian family will appreciate it, right! You're all for Sanfang!" Seeing her stare, "Got it! Got it! I'm going!"
Mrs. Wang shook her head with a smile. The Gu family was at a time when they were making a fortune, and they worked together to grow the old Gu family!Otherwise, even if Dalang is in the early stage and Jiulang becomes a high-ranking official, the other houses will not be able to go hand in hand with each other. Deal with it, it will be easy!
Knowing that the Gu family wanted Gu Chunying to partner with Wufang to open a shop, the Qian family was very happy, and immediately agreed.Although it's a partnership, it's much better than setting up a noodle fish stall!Moreover, Wufang knows how to behave, and is not as treacherous, greedy and domineering as Dafang and Erfang.
That night, the dining table of the third room of the Gu family was served with some balls and tempura.
"How about a taste first! These meatballs are not very easy to make. I tasted them first, and they were not bad! But there are many things to learn, and I'm afraid they won't be able to learn them tomorrow! I will keep Chef Fan at home most of the time. Stay for two days, let’s teach them the skewers first!” Gu Chuhan said, and picked up a pissing beef ball for Mrs. Gu, and put chopsticks for Gu Raniang and Gu Ruoniang.
"I'll pick it up myself! Hurry up and eat it!" Gu Lingshan told her not to pick it up.
Gu Shilang couldn't help laughing, "Father! You're thinking too much! Ninth brother picks food, never for men! It's all for grandma and second sister, Ruo Niang!"
Gu Lingshan also came to his senses, seeing Gu Chuhan tying a ball and putting it in her own bowl, he couldn't help laughing, "It's my father who is being sentimental!"
"Hey! Don't tell me! If you want to eat something from me, tell me sooner! I'll make it for you! Don't be hypocritical!" Gu Chuhan laughed immediately, and gave the ball to Gu Lingshan, "Come on! Dad! This is to honor you!"
"You brat! You're making fun of me!" Gu Lingshan scolded with a smile.
Over there, Gu Raniang also smiled and caught Gu Shilang, "Second Sister loves you!"
"Come on! Ninth brother loves you too!" Gu Chuhan also came up and pinched him three or four times.
In addition to the one I picked up, a bowl of meatballs piled up in Gu Shilang's bowl in an instant, Gu Ruonian didn't think it was enough, so she added another one silently, and wanted to put another one in for him.
"Ruo Niang! You won't learn well if you follow Brother Nine!" Gu Shilang said angrily.
"Who said that! How could I! If you want to talk about brother Jiu, you have been with him for a long time! You are even worse inside!" Gu Ruoniang raised her head to refute him.
Gu Shilang chuckled, turned his head and complained, "Ninth Brother! Look! Your image of being a bad boy has already been deeply rooted in people's hearts! I'm not born bad, I'm not inherited from my parents, I learned it from you!"
"Give me back the meatballs!" Gu Chuhan shouted.
Gu Ruoniang picked up the bowl, smiled and ran to Gu Lingshan to change seats.
Mrs. Gu also laughed, "Okay, okay! Let's eat quickly! The fried food is cold enough to eat!"
Gu Lingshan also had a smile on his face and a warm heart. He picked up vegetables for the children and pigeon eggs for Mrs. Gu.
The family eats happily.
Mother Chu was carrying bowls in the kitchen to finish the extra dishes prepared at noon. Hearing the laughter coming from the hall, she couldn't help laughing, "Master Jiu is the pistachio of the family! Can be amused by him!"
Chef Fan has finished his meal and is busy again. Although those meatballs and snacks are small and inconspicuous, it is not easy to achieve the effect that the young master said. There are also skewers of soup. Let's see the effect for the first time, since their family has to do it, it's natural to do the best when it comes out of his and Young Master's hands!
The next day, just after breakfast, Xie Yuanzhi bought chicken, duck and fish, "We don't know what to use to make skewers, so we bought some! Jiulang, do you think it will work?"
Gu Chuhan saw that he also bought all the greens, mushrooms, tofu and tofu skin, "I bought a lot! All right!"
Xie Yuanzhi laughed, and tentatively said to her, "It's not good to sell this skewer, or to set up a shop. Although the county town has a large area, it's not easy to set up a big stall."
Gu Chuhan understood what he meant, "I'm afraid I won't make a lot of money at first, so if you want to rent a shop, that's fine too! But it's more cost-effective to change the place, build a shed near the downtown area, and sell it at a stall first! Because there are also utensils and stoves to be made, the cost is estimated to be indispensable."
Xie Yuanzhi thought for a while, "That's fine! Then we'll listen to Jiulang!" He also wanted to ask if his family wanted to sell these skewers, and his family would go to the county to sell them, as long as they could!
Waiting for Xie Xiangyun, Gu Chunying's family members also came. Seeing that Mrs. Wang also came with things, Gu Chuhan first took the blueprints and explained to a few people, the selling points of strings, "The stove and utensils, even the table are integrated. If anyone comes, just gather around Sit around the stove, take what you eat from the utensils, and pay by bamboo sticks when you check out! A bamboo stick is worth one or two yuan, four or five yuan, and vegetables, mushrooms, and fried tofu at different prices are skewered , bean curd or meatballs and meat skewers. It’s not too hard, put a small frying pan next to it, some diners want to eat fried things, meat pieces, meatballs, vegetables and mushrooms, dipped in egg liquid, and served on the spot The pan is deep-fried, topped with sauce and sold now!"
As she spoke, several people hurriedly memorized it.
Xie Yuanzhi also took a pen and paper and wrote it down in detail.
After talking, Gu Chuhan let them start to do it, "Chef Fan, I will stay at home for two days, and you can come and learn from him today and tomorrow! If you don't understand, just ask!"
"You deliberately stayed at home to teach us! It also delayed your study!" Xie Yuanzhi said with a smile.
"Things are what I think, and I'm also afraid of making mistakes when I repeat them. I don't understand what I don't understand, and I don't understand even more!" Gu Chuhan made everyone busy, and she watched from the side.
They came early, and everyone was determined to learn well, and they all studied very seriously. After studying for a long time, they saw that they couldn't finish it in one day, so they hurriedly said that they would come back the next day as usual.
Gu Chuhan didn't wait for them to learn it, and handed it over to Mrs. Gu. She hurried back to school. Although she missed classes so much, the master's rules were not strict, but she would be punished if she tried it in the coming spring!
Before going, I took two more bags of meatballs and shared them with Mrs. Li and Hong Yu.The Li family went to pay homage to the Xie family one day in advance, and Hong Yu also remembered it, and added joss paper money as a gift in return.
Yan Jiang saw the delivery of the meatballs, and went back to gossip with Qingquan, "Young Master Gu Jiu doesn't care about our son at all! Sending food to his cousin's family, to Xue's family, he didn't think of him at all!" He looked a little gloating.
Qingquan winked at him.
Yan Jiang turned his head and saw Su Jin standing not far behind him, "Grand...Mr.... Maybe Mr. Gu Jiu wants you to eat with him!"
Su Jin chuckled softly, "Today and tomorrow, I won't go."
Seeing him go up to the attic, Yan Jiang hissed at Qingquan and lowered his voice, "What should I do? Young Master is angry! Do you want to send a letter to Young Master Gu Jiu?"
"Young Master's temperament is getting stronger and stronger, I think... it's better to send a message!" Qingquan said and nodded.
Then I made two snacks and sent them to Gu Chuhan, "Master, I'm a bit cold, so I won't come here today, let the slaves bring some food to Mr. Gu Jiu!"
"Oh! Thank you!" Gu Chuhan responded.
Heihu went up to pick up the food box.
Qingquan smiled lightly and stood still.
"What else is there?" Gu Chuhan raised his head and asked him.
"Mr. Gu Jiu! My son is not feeling well. Do you want to visit? There is a formation at the side door and it is difficult to find. This servant will take you!" Qingquan said with a smile.
Gu Chuhan didn't want to go!That's why I pretended that I didn't understand, and kept him cold, and he would be cold if he was cold!But this man had to remind her that he was still waiting to be urged to visit him!Taking a breath, Gu Chuhan pursed his lips, "What's wrong with your son?"
"It should be a cold, and I have some cough." Qingquan said with a smile.
Gu Chuhan really doesn't want to go there, go at this point, it's almost noon, and she still has to stay there for dinner!don't go!Send Qingquan back first, "I'll sort out my homework and visit your young master in the afternoon!"
Seeing her rejection all over her face, Qingquan coughed lightly and responded with a smile.
When going out to school, after thinking about it, Gu Chuhan pointed at Mrs. Zhang, "You know how to bake sweet potatoes?"
Sister-in-law Zhang is also good at tea and rice, and there is no problem with home-cooked dishes. I heard that she wants to eat roasted sweet potatoes, "Master Ninth wants to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so I will cook them for you at noon!"
Gu Chuhan frowned and thought for a while, "Forget it! You get a jar and slowly simmer it over charcoal fire. Not only sweet potatoes, but also two apples and pears, go buy them yourself!"
Mrs. Zhang responded.Seeing her go to the school, she hurriedly found a broken jar and came out. There were pears at home and pears left over from stewed rock sugar pears. I went to buy some apples and lit them on a charcoal fire to simmer.
When Gu Chuhan came back at noon, he checked that the sweet potatoes hadn't been roasted yet, and the apples and pears weren't soft either. "Continue to simmer!"
After noon, she just looked at it, and asked Mrs. Zhang to put the baked apples and pears in a stew pot to keep warm, and put two pieces of roasted sweet potatoes, and brought them over to visit Su Jin's illness.
Seeing that she really came, Yan Jiang went to pick her up, Qingquan reminded Su Jin, "Master! Cough!"
Su Jin raised his eyes, "What the hell are you pretending to be?"
"My lord, don't you have a cold and cough?" Qingquan looked at him suspiciously.
Su Jin watched Gu Chuhan come in with a food box, and glanced at Qingquan coldly.
Qingquan smiled and went up to greet Gu Chuhan.
"I heard that you have a cold and cough, and this baked pear is good for your cough! I'll give you two to eat!" Gu Chuhan handed the food box to Qingquan.
"Roasted pears? This is the first time I've heard of it!" Qingquan hurriedly opened it, looked in the stew pot, and brought it out, "There are also roasted sweet potatoes!"
Su Jin glanced at the roasted sweet potatoes, opened the lid of the stew pot, and the pears inside were roasted into a soft ball. You can imagine what the pear meat has become, "I didn't do my homework, so I just fiddled with these?"
Seeing that he was about to teach someone, Qingquan looked at Yan Jiang and coughed lightly to remind him.Mr. Gu Jiu puts so much effort into roasting pears!The slow fire is simmered slowly, and it takes several hours to simmer like this!The son is really incomprehensible!
Gu Chuhan pouted secretly, "It was made by the cook at home. I tasted two of them and they were delicious, so I brought them for you."
Seeing her reluctance written all over her body, Su Jin said, "Take the spoon."
Qingquan hurriedly responded with a smile, went down to get a spoon, and served Gu Chuhan the stewed bird's nest for her to eat.
The skin of the roasted pear was broken, and a spoonful of the soft pear flesh melted in the mouth. The soft and sweet pear fragrance filled the eyes and nose. Su Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression changed.
Seeing how useful he was, Qingquan gave him the peeled apple again.
"The roasted sweet potatoes are for you two!" Gu Chuhan called Qingquan and Yanjiang with the bird's nest.
The two thanked each other, and went down to eat the roasted sweet potatoes.
Gu Chuhan finished eating the bird's nest, and Su Jin also finished eating a baked pear and a baked apple, but he coughed twice because it was sweet.
"Since you are not feeling well, you don't need to give me lectures these two days! I will finish my homework by myself!" Gu Chuhan said immediately when he heard his coughing.
Su Jin looked up at her, "After eating your baked pears, it's ready."
The corners of Gu Chuhan's mouth twitched slightly, "It's so fast..."
"Yeah. Baked pears are delicious." Su Jin knew that other than her, no one else had so many ideas about making these things up.
Gu Chuhan immediately frowned, "I'll wait for Chef Fan to come back in two days, and I'll let you try other snacks! Make sure you haven't eaten any before!"
Su Jin poured a basin of water on her, "Next time, don't fiddle with these things when you have nothing to do, and don't do your job properly!"
Gu Chuhan glared at him viciously, "Then you don't have to eat!" He snorted, got up and left.
Qingquan hurriedly followed, "Master Gu Jiu! Stay for dinner! The servants are all ready!"
"No need! I want to go home and eat!" Gu Chuhan waved his hand and took Shi Zan back.
Qingquan turned around, "Master! Master Jiu seems to be angry?"
Su Jin frowned slightly, "I heard that, she whispered to me for being rigid." The rascal is evil, the old rascal, the old bull-nosed, now add more rigidity!
Qingquan and Yanjiang looked at each other, but they were also silent for a long time.It is really difficult for young master Gu Jiu to be with young master if he can be forced, it is difficult for young master Gu!
Su Jin came back the next day, but Gu Chuhan didn't wait at home and went to school.
On the third day, Gu Chuhan still didn't wait for him at home, and went to school again.
Su Jin just sat in the study and didn't leave.
Gu Chuhan was humming a song, and Gu Shilang came back from school, "Looks like it's going to snow, let's eat mutton pot tomorrow!"
"It's better to snow, but not rain! It's too cold!" Gu Shilang shivered slightly.
As soon as he got home, seeing Su Jin sitting at home with a big face, Gu Chuhan's face froze, and he subconsciously explained, "I've been busy in school these two days!"
Seeing her cautious and scared look, Su Jin wanted Qingquan to say that he didn't understand style, so she specially baked pears for him, "Roasted pears!" Bring the roasted pears, and forgive her, and stop being as knowledgeable as her!
The roasted pears were soft and sweet, and everyone in the family ate them, but they got tired after eating too much, so I didn't let them make them today.
When Gu Chuhan asked if there was anything in the kitchen, "Well, the fat chef is back, I'll make you some snacks first! I'll roast pears for you tomorrow! Is that okay?"
"Okay." A happy smile flashed in Su Jin's eyes.
Gu Chuhan cursed secretly: It's so hard to serve!Still marrying her, not even letting her die happy!
Gu Raniang was in a hurry to make clothes and didn't come back for dinner, and sometimes lived in Jiuyun Pavilion with the weavers.
At the dinner table were Su Jin, Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang.
Gu Shilang was suspicious, why did Mr. Su pester Brother Nine?Could it be that he knew Brother Nine's identity was not a boy?
After dinner, Su Jin gave another speech, then let Gu Chuhan go home.
"Ninth brother! This Su Jin knows your identity?" Gu Shilang sat down and asked her.
Gu Chuhan pursed his lips angrily, and uncovered her background!
Gu Shilang's face was ugly, "So he is so attentive, but he has evil intentions!? Ninth brother, do you like him like that?"
"Who said I like him like that!" Gu Chuhan glanced at him.
Gu Shilang hurriedly said, "I think so too! Apart from his good-looking face, he is a little bit knowledgeable, so he doesn't fit well! Brother Nine, you should be more vigilant, he is a Taoist monk, he is a mess! You don't want to be okay in the future To hell!?"
Gu Chuhan looked at him and nodded simply, now she can't handle it, if there are a few more ghosts, she will stop cooking!Like that perverted old bull-nosed Taoist priest?She doesn't have such a strong taste!
"Even if you really want to find it, you have to find a little fresh meat to ravage!" She giggled.
The corner of Gu Shilang's mouth twitched, "Okay! Brother Ninth, you must be careful!" Brother Ninth likes little loli and fresh meat, Su Jin's kind, and Brother Ninth's attitude doesn't seem like he would like it!
But the promised baked pears still had to be prepared.
Seeing that she is quite obedient, Su Jin is not so strict with her, and teaches her to play the piano when it snows to change her mood.
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and Yan Junfeng came over early to give the New Year's gift, and brought over the account, "This is the dividend of the mattress and sofa this year, and it belongs to the manufacturer."
Gu Chuhan opened it and took a look, "Sure enough, profiteers make money! Sell a sofa mattress, and it's sold for 10 taels!" She divides taels and 3000 taels a year in the manufacturing factory, and the sofa mattress has more than 2 taels.
"How? Considering me is still very good!?" Yan Junfeng asked with a smile.
"Not bad! Not bad! A little expert at making money! Existing like a money rake!" Gu Chuhan praised with a thumbs up.
Yan Junfeng knew that there was nothing wrong with counting on him to help with the conversation, but he couldn't hold him back!So the future brother-in-law must be coaxed!He took out the Chengni inkstone he had found, as well as the Chengxintang paper, two sets of pens and inks, "This Chengxintang paper is hard to find, it's for your sister to make a picture album! The Chengni inkstone is for you!"
Gu Chuhan chuckled at him.
Yan Junfeng hurriedly said, "I'll change some of your skewered meatballs! Barbecued pork! Sour cabbage and dried plums! Give me some local specialties!"
Gu Chuhan looked at him for a long time, and he felt guilty, "Thousands of taels of silver, you gave it lightly, so I can take it!?"
"It's easy to accept! Why don't you accept it! Just a little thought! We will be relatives in the future! We will be relatives sooner or later!" Yan Junfeng tugged at her and begged her to accept it.Jiulang couldn't pass this level, and Ranniang couldn't even pass it.
Gu Chuhan was so entangled by him that he couldn't help it, so he loaded him with some local products at home, and the inkstone thought about it, but returned it.
Yan Junfeng sighed helplessly, and left sadly.
"Brother Yan seems to be quite disappointed!" Gu Shilang said.
"What's so disappointing! It's normal to lose love a few times!" Gu Chuhan rolled his eyes.
Gu Shilang coughed lightly.
But when she got home, she saw the Chengni inkstone lying in her drawer, and one of her own inkstones was missing. "What a Yan Junfeng! You've even learned how to cheat!"
"Ninth Brother! What should we do?" Gu Shilang asked.
"What can I do! One piece of this thing is not a matter of 80 taels of silver! Go back to Fucheng and pay him back!" Gu Chuhan still has this sense of propriety.Accept what should be accepted, and never accept what should not be accepted!
"Then you take Su Jin's piano." Gu Shilang beeped softly.
"What?" Gu Chuhan didn't hear clearly.
Gu Shilang hurriedly said, "I shouldn't accept it! No matter how good the thing is, I can't accept it!"
Gu Chuhan nodded, and told Gu Raniang to put things aside and go to Fucheng.
The taste of the new year is getting heavier and heavier, the school has started to have a holiday, and the shops have also started to have a holiday.
The char siew shop was asked by everyone to close the holiday a few days later, and those who wanted to buy char siew were all queuing up, wanting to add another dish to the Chinese New Year dinner table.
So Gu Lingshan was busy until he was 28 years old, and then he stopped completely.
When the family returned home, there were servants ordering them around, so they didn't have to do anything, just thinking about the delicious food for the New Year.
Gu's second thought about Lian's cousin again, "Why don't you tell me about it! He's a filial piety, and three years are enough!"
Dafangzhuan controls the konjac flour workshop, Wufang also opened a shop, and also cooks prunes. Their family has divided 700 taels of silver this year, and the others will soon surpass them!
Gu Wulang heard the discussion between the two, and couldn't help but say, "Father! Mother! You'd better not bring up this matter, don't bring it up if you have nothing to do!" There is also a lot of time, and the general temperament has also been figured out.
"There's nothing you can't say! It's better to cheapen your cousin than others! If you really want your cousin to marry here, she'll be close to us!" Lian said with her lips pursed.
"Third Uncle won't agree! My aunt mentioned it, but Third Uncle pushed it back! Anyone who dares to mention it will have a grudge against whoever!" Gu Wulang reminded them not to be self-defeating.
Gu Lao Er frowned, "When did you hear that? It really happened?" He tried it last time, but he didn't find anything good.
"Small years ago! My aunt scolded my third uncle and my cousin angrily, none of them got married! The third uncle walked away with a cold face." Gu Wulang made it clear to him and let them dispel their thoughts.
"Your cousin is not bad-looking, and she is still a girl with yellow flowers. If you really tell him, he will be happy in his heart!" Lian didn't take it seriously, and planned to let her cousin come over for the Chinese New Year. Let Gu Lingshan meet people first. !
As long as it can be said, the cousin should also thank her. Although the third child is a bit older, he is not bad-looking, and he is also the head of the house. He will have two more children, and he will be able to divide the family property in the future!Sanfangguang has earned 2 taels of silver this year! ?And it's from He's family!There are also wonton shops!
