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

Chapter 259
"Xiaobao! Isn't this tofu for you? Can it be made? I remember that the father of the third sister-in-law's family made this, so don't steal the business from his family?" Gu Wan was sitting on the kang and was sewing for a while. , still couldn't help but interrupted.

"Don't worry! This is not tofu. It's different from the third sister-in-law's. Besides, the elder sister and the others don't sell it in the village. They have to open a shop in the town." Dried tofu is more expensive than tofu. Earn money, buy in the village, and the number of people who buy is limited, it is better to open a shop in the town.

"What? To open a shop in the town requires money from all ages. Why don't you just sell it in the village, and then go to the town to open a shop when you earn money." When Gu Xi heard that she wanted to open a shop, how could her family have so many? silver?At that time, it will cost a lot of money to collect soybeans!
"If you don't have it, borrow some from your family first, and pay it back when you earn it later!" Gu Chengyu felt that renting a shop would not cost much, and if it was not enough for his family, he would pay in advance.

"Well, that's it! Later, Xizi and son-in-law will soak the soybeans first. But I'll say my ugly words first, you can't say that this recipe was given to you by Xiaobao, otherwise the daughter-in-law of the third family will come to look for it What's Xiaobao going to do? You just say that you learned from others, and don't make troubles for the family."

Father Gu is also happy to see his daughter find a job, but the third family will complain, if they come to ask for a prescription, will they give it or not?
Gu Chengyu thought of it when Father Gu said that.Indeed, in order to save trouble in the future, it is better not to reveal that he taught it.

"Of course not, this business was given to me by Xiaobao, I'm a fool to say it!" Gu Xi is not a fool, after thinking about it, she turned around and told Wang Quanshou again.Although this honest man usually doesn't talk much, he can't drink alcohol. When he drinks, he tends to slip his tongue, so don't tell others about it.

"That couldn't be better." Father Gu glanced at Mrs. Lu who was sitting on the top of the kang. This time Mrs. Lu didn't talk too much. Maybe it's because the Gu family's life is getting better. Besides, they separated again. Mrs. Lu's temper has improved recently a lot of.

"To make dried tofu, we need molds. We don't have molds at home, so we have to make them now. Make some wooden boxes and boards, and buy some seasonings." Gu Chengyu suddenly remembered the molds for making tofu, and I'm afraid he won't be able to make them tomorrow. up.

"His fourth uncle's family has those things. His family used to make tofu, but his boss found a good job in the county. His fourth uncle is getting old, and he doesn't make much money in tofu, so he doesn't want to make tofu. Now, those things are still piled up at home!" Gu Xi thought it was impossible, so he bought those things. His fourth uncle was very stingy, and he was afraid that he would not give them away for nothing.

"Then I'll go back and ask my fourth uncle!" Having said that, Wang Quanshou also became excited, and immediately took over the matter.

"Come on! That fourth uncle of yours is so stingy, would he be willing to give it to you? He would rather leave it covered with dust than give it to you! I think it's better to pay for it, so that he can save it when he sees our business is doing well." Jealous!"

Wang Quanshou made Gu Xi feel a little embarrassed, so he had to laugh a few times, and then stopped talking.

"Father, mother! The head of the family and I will go back now. The two children are still at home. There is a lot of work at home, so we have to go back earlier." Gu Xi only thought about the two children at home after the matter was settled. I just couldn't sit still.

"That's good! The second child hasn't come back yet. You will come tomorrow anyway. The two children are at home, so go back earlier! Bring the children tomorrow, and I haven't seen you for a long time." Father Gu Jian's daughter-in-law asked to leave, but she didn't stay. The two children were always at home, so they were always worried.

"Hey! Then let's go first!" Gu Xi pulled Wang Quanshou up from the stool, ready to go home early.

Seeing this, Gu Chengyu also stood up, "Sister, brother-in-law, let Mingmo take you back! The carriage should be faster." There is a carriage at home, so there is no reason for them to walk back.

"Ah! I forgot, Xiaobao is back, you go back in a carriage!" Because Gu Chengyu often used a carriage, Gu Lao didn't think of it for a while.The cow in the family is shared by several houses, and anyone who needs it can take it for use. This time, it was put on the bullock cart by He and returned to her mother's house, but she is not at home now.

Gu Chengyu sent Gu Xi and the others to the gate of the courtyard, but while walking on the road, he saw a patch on Wang Quanshou's trouser leg.He frowned slightly. Every time Gu Xi came, Father Gu paid a lot of money. Why are you still wearing patched clothes?
Gu Chengyu called Ming Mo, took a pack of pastries brought back from Fucheng, and prepared for Gu Xi to take them back for the children to eat.Turning around and thinking about it, the second sister and niece of the family often buy jewelry, the eldest sister doesn't often live together, besides, it is rare to come back, and he is not close to him, today is the most talked time.

Now that he is here, it is not good to favor one over another, he returned to the front yard, and took out a pair of gold bracelets from the space, this one was just right for Wang Tianer.Originally, it looked heavy, and planned to buy it for Erya.

Put the jewelry box and pastry together, gave it to Ming Mo, and told him to send the two of them home before returning.

"Little Treasure! What is the dried tofu you said can really be made?" Mrs. Lu was sitting on the kang embroidering purses, but now she suddenly asked Gu Chengyu who had just entered the main room.

"Of course, tomorrow I'll wait for the elder sister and the others to cook. Let's try some dishes. The dried tofu tastes good, and there are several dishes that can be prepared!" Gu Chengyu thought of deep-fried tofu, which is an auxiliary ingredient for hot pot!
He has always wanted to launch hot pot, but he thinks that the ingredients are too monotonous. When he has fried tofu and vermicelli, he can make it with fish balls and the like, and it will definitely be a hot seller in Juxianglou.

"The way you tell them, don't let your third brother say it, or your third sister-in-law will be unhappy!" For this daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lu couldn't tell. There are too many children.Now that she finally got pregnant, her temper is much more rampant than before.

"How can I be so stupid? Mother, don't worry! Is the third brother coming back today?" It stands to reason that Father Gu and the others should send the news of him being a scholar to the town.

"Who knows?" Mrs. Lu replied angrily. Recently, the third child has become more and more alienated from him. It was all instigated by that woman, and the number of times she came back was much less than before.

When the afterglow of the sunset faded away in the sky, Gu Chengyu heard Gu Chengyi's voice, and he was greeting Gu Chengli.

"Second brother, you run outside all day long. What are you doing? I don't see you all the time." Gu Chengli finally caught someone this time, and took the opportunity to ask.

"Where can I go? Just in the fields! Just hang around in the village if you have nothing to do!" Gu Chengyi's voice was a little impatient.

"Why didn't I see you in the field? The grass in your field has grown tall, and you don't know how to pull it out? What are you wandering around in the village? I didn't see you in the village either." Gu Chengli was a little puzzled, logically Said that the second child didn't drive an ox cart, and he couldn't run far, so where else could he go?But he really didn't see Gu Chengyi in the village.
