Chapter 124

Qin Lao and Qin Sanlang saw that the Gu family was fine, so they also went home to work.

The third grandma asked Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, those people will come tomorrow, how do you reply to them? Are you really going to sell all the tofu to them?"

The third grandma knew that tofu was in short supply, and the more they sold, the more money they made, but there were only so many people in their family, and they could only make so much tofu every day. If they sold it to people in Lianghe Village, what would their tofu stand do?But there is no tofu stall.

Gu Jinli said: "Third Mistress, don't worry, we will discuss this matter later in the evening."

The third grandma had no choice but to give up and stopped asking, and the three of them entered the yard together.

With a creak, Mrs. Cui opened the door of the main room, and walked out with Gu Jinxiu and Brother Cheng.

Cui Shi and Gu Jinxiu still had panic on their faces, and Gu Jinxiu even held a hatchet in his hand.

Seeing this, Gu Jinli was very satisfied. It is better to be able to pick up a knife to defend yourself when encountering danger than to be beaten passively.

On the other hand, Brother Cheng, the little man had a calm face and no fear at all, holding a pole in his hand, he said to Gu Jinli, "Second Sister, I will protect Mother and Eldest Sister."

Gu Jinli smiled and said, "Well, Brother Cheng is very powerful."

He said again: "However, when the opponent is too strong, you can't face it head-on. Sneak first and talk later, and then find a chance to beat the opponent up."

"Well, I remember. Don't worry, second sister, I will definitely not let myself be beaten by others." Brother Cheng assured.

Cui felt that Gu Jinli shouldn't teach Brother An like this, but after thinking about what happened on the way to escape from the famine, he suppressed his words and asked about Gu Jinan instead: "How is Brother An? Shangxiu can accept it." him?"

Gu Dashan said with a smile: "Take it, take it, from now on, Brother An will be a student of Shang Xiucai, and we will study with Shang Xiucai from today on."

Cui was very happy, her eyes were moist: "That's good, that's good, our Angle can finally go to school."

Seeing her like this, Gu Dashan's eyes turned red.

Gu Dashan and Cui have always felt sorry for An Geer. Because Mrs. Gu hated them, several children were also abused by Gu Madam, and An Geer was bullied even more badly.

Brother Ang is smart and likes reading very much. When he was a child, he saw Gu Youwen and his son studying and followed suit, but was driven away by Gu Youwen and his son.

An Ge'er was very sad, and hid himself and cried.

Cui felt sorry for her son, so she quietly taught An Geer how to read, and An Geer learned very quickly, but one day when An Geer was writing with a branch on the ground, she was seen by Mrs. Gu, who hit An Geer with a cane. An Ge'er's hand was directly swollen.If Brother An hadn't run so fast, Mrs. Gu would probably have beaten his hands to pieces.

Mrs. Gu warned the couple that if she saw An Geer writing again, she would break his hand and sell him again.

The reason why Mrs. Gu is so excited is very simple, that is, she doesn't see that An Ge'er will be promising.

An Geer was smart, and since then, he only quietly practiced calligraphy in the house, and was never discovered by Mrs. Gu again.

But Cui Shi and Gu Dashan have remembered this matter for half their lives, feeling extremely guilty.Now that Ge'er can finally go to school openly, the husband who worships is still a scholar, and the couple were so excited that they cried.

The third grandma looked at the tearful couple, annoyed and funny: "You two, quickly wipe away your tears, this is a happy event, why are you crying?"

"Hey, don't cry." Cui wiped away her tears and said to Gu Jinli: "Little fish, you can make crystal glutinous rice balls tonight, your brother likes to eat this, today is his big day, let's give him Have a good time."

The last time Shang Xiucai's family came to their house for dinner, she heard from the head of the family that An Ge'er's child ate a lot of crystal glutinous rice balls. It seems that he likes sweet and sour tastes, so she wanted to make crystal glutinous rice balls for Angle today. So much meat, let him open his mouth to eat.

"Okay." Gu Jinli readily agreed, and the family of three began to do their homework again.

Gu Jinli didn't squeeze any more oil today, but took out two kinds of spices, amomum and cumin, smashed them into half pieces with a hammer, and then ground the spices together with Gu Jinxiu and the third grandmother.

Just after grinding a catty, the third grandpa and the others closed the stall and came back.

Third Grandpa's complexion was not very good. After putting down his burden, he sat in the yard and sighed.

The third grandma saw him and hurriedly asked him: "Old man, what's wrong with you?"

The third grandfather thought for a while, and told them what happened in town today: "The two food shops on the front street and the back street, and the Fugui Building on the main street, are selling our fried five-spice tofu. The taste is similar to ours. Exactly the same."

"What? Someone in the town is selling fried spiced tofu?" The third grandma stood up angrily, and cursed: "These goddamn people, how can they be so shameless, this is what Xiaoyu came up with!"

After scolding, he anxiously asked the third grandfather: "What should we do? They made fried five-spice tofu. Aren't they going to send our guests away?"

Gu Jinli had expected that someone would follow her to sell fried spiced tofu, but she was not in a hurry. After hearing what the third grandma said, she asked the third grandpa: "Third grandpa, how is our business today? Is it still as prosperous as before?"

The third grandpa nodded: "It is indeed the same as before, that is, the white tofu sold too fast, almost as soon as we arrived in the town, we were robbed of it, or the rich daughter-in-law forced two loads of white tofu to be sold today. Open up."

The third grandma was confused: "Isn't someone selling pan-fried five-spice tofu? Why is our business so good?"

Gu Jinli said with a smile: "Third grandma, where did their tofu come from? They bought it from us, so don't care if they make fried five-spice tofu or not, it doesn't affect us much. White tofu and spices are all in the It's in our hands."

"With these two things, we are not afraid of them. If they want to make fried five-spice tofu, they have to spend money to buy white tofu and spices from us. The more white tofu and spices they buy, the more we earn. It’s no different from them working for us.”

She looked up at the third grandma and smiled slyly: "If our income decreases, we can raise the price of white tofu."

After listening to Gu Jinli's words, the third grandpa and the third grandma were stunned for a while. After realizing it, the third grandma smiled and said, "Hey, we Xiaoyu are smarter. Well, if they want to sell fried spiced tofu, they can sell it." No matter how much they get, they are helping them make money.

The third grandpa and the third grandma stopped worrying about this matter, and started to work again.

The third grandma also told the third grandpa that the villagers of Lianghe village came to buy white tofu, but they were almost beaten as a villain.

"Xiaoyu said that this matter needs to be discussed with several family members before they can answer them."

When the third grandfather heard this, he originally wanted to ask Gu Jinli what his plans were, but he gave up and waited patiently until the night when the money was distributed.

Not long after the third grandfather and the others came back, Gu Jinan also came back from school at Shang Xiucai's house, but he was about to return to the end of the village when he was stopped by Gu Dexing.
