The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 147 Maltose

After seeing it, he felt a little disdainful. This little baby got so many favors from his family because of his good looks.He also heard rumors about Gu Chengyu's talent in reading in the private school, and he didn't know if it was true or not, but he didn't like the temper that often mixed with playboys.

However, You Siyuan wanted Gu Chengyu to help introduce her.So, patiently, he put a smile on his face, leaned closer to Gu Chengyu and said, "Uncle! I think You Siyuan is a little close to you. Why don't you invite Muxiu to play at home?"

"Brother Hua! You also know that my family is building a house. I'm afraid I won't be free that day. Let's talk about it later!" Seeing Gu Wanhua, Gu Chengyu expressed his purpose in just a few words, and there was no lack of contempt for Wang Qikai in his words And flatter You Siyuan.

Gu Chengyu was a little unhappy. He was in a good mood and didn't mind going around with him.But at the moment, I'm too lazy to make false claims, and I don't want to talk too much.

Gu Wanhua touched a soft nail, his face froze, and then he smiled and said: "Uncle's house is in chaos, and my house doesn't have a house, so please come to my house!"

"Senior Brother You is my classmate after all. I invited him to come to my house to play. He should come to my house. He should not be familiar with you. Wouldn't it be rude of me to go to your house? Besides, the son of a rich family To go out, you have to get permission from your family, and the preparations for the trip are troublesome! The test of the elders is not easy!"

Before the young son of a wealthy family went to other people's house as a guest, he had to ask his elders for instructions. Maybe You Siyuan's parents didn't want him to befriend a farm boy like him!
After Gu Chengyu finished speaking, he closed his eyes and meditated.When Gu Wanhua saw Gu Chengyu's appearance, he made it clear that he didn't want to talk to him any more. His face darkened, he put his hands on his sleeves, and let out a soft snort.

I don't even look at how old my own child is, but he still puts the elders' score in front of him, I really don't know what to say.

The bullock cart arrived at the door of the rice shop in a short while, and Gu Chengyu opened his eyes, listening to Gu's father shouting to the inside of the rice shop: "Cheng Zhong! Have you returned it? But Neng's house has gone?" Because of the rice shop The counter is not far from the door, and Gu Chengzhong is the accountant of Mihang. He usually stays at the counter and can't move around, so Father Gu didn't get out of the ox cart, he just yelled at the door.

"Ah! Uncle Gu is here to find Mr. Gu? He went to pack his things in the inner room and said that Uncle Gu is here. Just wait for him at the door for a while, and he will be ready soon!"

Gu Chengyu opened the curtain and looked at the rice shop, and saw a guy walking out of the rice shop, and said enthusiastically to Gu Laopa.

"It turned out to be Brother Li, please let me know. Then I'll wait, I think it will be ready soon." Father Gu said a polite word to the guy named Brother Li with a smile on his face, and then drove the ox cart to the rice Hurry up next to the line, you can't block other people's doors and affect other people's business, right?

Gu Wanhua in the carriage tilted his mouth to one side, feeling a little disdainful that Old Gu was still so flattering to a guy.His father is a cashier, and the guys in the shop on weekdays, who is not polite when they see him?The third uncle really lost his father's face.

Gu Chengyu just looked outside, but didn't pay attention to Gu Wanhua's movements.

"What did Uncle Gu say? You are not an outsider, so why should you be so polite? You even patronized our rice store today. Besides, you are Mr. Gu's third uncle, and you are all from our own family. ?"

Brother Li watched Old Gu drive the ox cart aside without blocking the gate, and his impression of Old Gu was even better.

Gu Chengyu watched Li Xiaoge and Gu Laopa come and go to each other politely, and then put down the curtain, it seems that they will wait here for a while.

After waiting for a long time, Gu Chengzhong arrived late.When the curtain on the car swayed, Gu Chengyu only felt his eyes light up, and saw a tall figure crawling in from the shaft of the car.

"Father! Why are you so slow today?" Gu Wanhua complained as soon as he saw his father coming in.

"There are still accounts to be settled today, so there is a delay." Gu Chengzhong responded to his son's complaints with a good temper.

"Lord brother!" Gu Chengyu also hurriedly said.

There are quite a few boys in the Gu family. If it is called the ranking, Gu Chengyu is estimated to be in the twenties, so they usually call each other.

When Gu Chengzhong sat down, Gu Chengyu looked at the tall and burly man in front of him.The men from the Gu family are not short in stature, and Gu Chengzhong and Gu Chengxiao are also somewhat similar in appearance. They both have a square appearance, which gives people a sense of integrity.It's just that Gu Chengzhong doesn't do coolies, he looks younger than Gu Chengxiao, and his skin is much fairer.

Gu Chengzhong put the burden on the stool next to him, and then raised his eyes to look at the little cousin sitting opposite.

Although Gu Chengzhong has Muxiu on weekdays, Gu Chengyu seldom goes out, so the two of them don't see each other often.In his impression, Gu Chengyu is just a good-looking, sweet-mouthed little baby.Looking at it now, it may be because of studying, the little baby has picturesque eyebrows, but his whole body is a bit bookish, and he is looking at him with a smiling face at the moment.

Gu Chengzhong saw that the little baby was cute, and suddenly remembered that he still had maltose on him for Gu Yan.After thinking for a while, he took out a small oiled paper bag from his pocket.He spread out the oiled paper bag, took out two pieces of maltose from it, and handed it to Gu Chengyu who was sitting opposite and observing him.

Seeing that Gu Chengzhong took out something from the oiled paper bag and handed it to himself, Gu Chengyu was still a little puzzled.After a closer look, it turned out to be maltose.The sugar in the Dayan Dynasty was expensive, such a small candy cost a penny, and the average farmer was reluctant to buy it to eat. The candy melted quickly, and the taste was gone before it was tasted.Of course, this is according to Gu Wan's description, he doesn't like to eat such sweets.

What's more, the maltose here is very rough, if it is held in the hand for a little longer, once it melts, it will be even more horrible.However, the little baby likes to eat such candies.

"Xiaobao! Eat it! These are a few yuan for Yan'er, not too much, you take the sweet mouth." Gu Chengzhong touched Gu Chengyu's head with the other hand, and poured the maltose in this hand into the mouth. Gu Chengyu wavered in front of him.

"Brother Hall, let Yan'er eat this! I'm an adult, I don't like to eat this." Gu Chengyu looked at the candy that was about to melt, and twitched the corner of his mouth, he really didn't want to eat this stuff.

"Haha! Take it! Yan'er is older than you! You still like to eat this, you are still young!" Gu Chengzhong was amused by Gu Chengyu. food.

With a bitter face, Gu Chengyu had no choice but to take a piece from Gu Chengzhong's hand and stuff it into his mouth.

What surprised him was that the maltose was not very sweet, maybe not like in the previous life, the sweetness in the previous life might be because sugar or honey was added in it.The malt sugar here has only the taste of malt and glutinous rice, with a mellow taste of grain.

Seeing Gu Chengyu's slightly frowning brows unfold, Gu Chengzhong nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, all babies like sweets, right?
