Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 111

Hearing Gu Dexing's words, Ah Jiu replied directly: "Brother Gu Jiaxing, the master has already read the words and articles you wrote yesterday."

When Gu Dexing heard the words, he became excited and asked Ah Jiu: "What did Shang Xiucai say? Is it, is it..." I think his article is well written, so I want to accept him as an apprentice?

Ah Jiu smiled, and said: "Master didn't say anything, he just asked me to give you three letters. Here, this is yours, and Brother Wang's."

Ah Jiu took out three letters from the cloth bag at his waist, and handed two of them to Gu Dexing.

Gu Dexing took it, before he had time to thank Ah Jiu, he rushed out of Gu's courtyard.As soon as he left Gu's courtyard, he couldn't wait to open the letter with his name on it.

But seeing the contents of the letter, Gu Dexing's whole heart went cold. The letter only said two sentences, one of which was an evaluation of his knowledge, saying that if he wanted to study, he could go to a private school in the town to study for ten years , may be admitted to fame.

The last sentence clearly stated that he would not accept disciples.

Gu Dexing couldn't believe that the article he wrote was so good that Shang Xiucai didn't accept him?

He couldn't believe it was true, and opened the letter with Gu Dewang's name on it. There was only one sentence in the letter: You can find Xu Tongsheng from Songzigou for enlightenment.

Obviously, he doesn't like Gu Dewang's knowledge, and he doesn't even want to enlighten him.

Gu Dexing's heart was finally balanced, but he was still not reconciled, why didn't Shang Xiucai accept him as a disciple?

If he could worship Shang Xiucai as his teacher, he would be able to gain a relationship with Jiang Xianwei, and their family would benefit from it.

But Gu Dexing was only a 17-year-old boy after all, and he was also a country boy with limited knowledge. He couldn't think of a better way to get Shang Xiucai to accept him as a disciple, so he could only go home in a daze.

Seeing that Gu Dexing was not entangled, Ah Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Gu Jinan next to him, and handed him a letter: "Brother An, this is a letter from the master."

Gu Jinan took it nervously, thanked him, and went back to his and Brother Cheng's room, opened the envelope, and looked at the letter on it.

There were only two words written on the letter: Wenzhi.

Gu Jinan frowned, but soon understood what Shang Xiucai meant. Shang Xiucai was asking about his ambition.

Gu Jinan immediately took out a pen and paper, and wrote a sentence on the yellow paper: An's ambition in this life is to protect the family and plead for the people.

After finishing writing, he looked at this sentence and became uneasy again. He wrote the family protection first, which showed that the first thing he wanted to protect was his family, and the second was to plead for the people.

If Shang Xiucai read this answer, would he think that he is a selfish person and therefore not accept him?

Gu Jinan hesitated, but he did not change the answer. After the ink was dry, he folded the yellow paper, put it in a simple envelope made of yellow paper, and handed it to Ah Jiu: "This is the answer I gave to Uncle Shang." Brother Jiu must help deliver the letter to Uncle Shang."

Ah Jiu took the letter and said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother An, I will definitely bring the letter here." His master is also waiting.

Ah Jiu didn't stay at Gu's house for long. After delivering the things, he took the bean dregs cake from Gu's house, and took a return gift prepared by Cui Shi, and drove back to Shang's house with Lao Luo.

Gu Jinan stood in the yard for a while, then went back to the kitchen to make tofu.

Gu Jinli saw that he was very nervous, and didn't ask him what he wrote to Shang Xiucai?Instead, he took out a bag of soybeans and started picking beans to make soybean oil.

It took a full hour to pick out twenty catties of soybeans.

She took the soybeans to the small stone mill outside the kitchen, and began to grind the beans with the stone. After working for more than an hour, she finally finished grinding twenty catties of beans.

After the beans were finished grinding and it was getting dark, Gu Jinli cleaned up and went to cook.

She is willing to put oil in cooking, which is more delicious, so as long as she is at home, she will cook.Although Cui Shi loves you, but Cui Shi loves the child even more, so he let Gu Jinli make troubles.

The dinner was fragrant old sweet potato rice, leftover fried crispy meat from yesterday, fried tofu, scrambled eggs, fried bean sprouts, and tofu soup with minced cabbage and meat. The whole family had a great time eating.

The third grandma complained in her mouth: "This is too good to eat. If you have crispy meat, don't make eggs. And this rice, just drink porridge and don't need to cook dry rice." But watching the children no longer look like they used to As dry and thin, I think it's worth eating so much.

After dinner, several family members came to Gu Jinli's house to routinely count and distribute the money.

Their business is very good now, and they can sell 350 catties of tofu, [-] catties of bean dregs, and hundreds of packets of seasoning spices every day.

After everyone counted the money, Gu Jinan began to report: "After deducting the reserved capital, today's net profit is ten taels and 360 Wen."

His family can get four taels of 140 four cash, while the other six families can get one tael and 36 cash each.

Aunt Tian covered her heart and said: "You can get one tael of silver a day, ouch, this is really too much."

When they first made a living in tofu, each of their families could get a few hundred cash a day, but today they can get as much as one tael, which is something that they never dreamed of.

Looking at Aunt Tian's appearance, Mrs. Chen looked down on her, and said, "That's too much? There will be more in the future. Nowadays, every family in the town eats our tofu, and there are still a lot of them today." Food shops come to our stall and ask if they want to make our fried spiced tofu, they are dreaming, this is our livelihood, how can we let them follow suit?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Chen is very proud. Because of making a living from tofu, many people in the town came to curry favor with her, trying to trick her into making this tofu, but who is she?Can you tell them?

Several families happily divided the money and went home separately.

On the second day, it was Luo's and Tian's turn to set up a stall, and Gu Jinli and Qin Sanlang followed suit.

She also brought her family's household registration. When she came to the town, she helped open a stall. She went to the iron shop with Qin Sanlang and ordered ten discus the size of a plate, and two three-jin hammers. .

The blacksmith was very curious about the things she made, and asked: "This hammer is still useful, why do you make iron biscuits at home?" They couldn't eat it.

Gu Jinli smiled, and thought of a reason to fool the blacksmith: "My family wants to make a fresh food, and I want to use this discus to make it, so I ordered a discus."

Now the Gu family’s tofu is selling well, everyone in the town knows it, and the master blacksmith also knows it. Hearing what she said, he didn’t ask any more questions. After reading her household registration, he said: “Iron is expensive now, and a catty of pig iron costs more For one tael of silver, you can make ten discus, each of which weighs one catty, and then make two three-jin hammers, and these things will cost 20 taels of silver.”

That's pretty cheap.

"If you do it, leave a deposit of five taels of silver, and you can come to pick it up tomorrow afternoon."

This thing is easy to make, and it only takes a little effort with a hammer. As for the discus, just hit it a few times.

Gu Jinli still had some silver money from Qi Yi in his hand, so he readily gave a deposit of five taels of silver, and left the iron shop with Qin Sanlang.
