Peasant woman's day

Chapter 74

"It's just some small things in the countryside. We have a small business in our own family. There is no cook. It's just dawdling." Gu Qingchen said lightly.

Grandma Fan had a smile on her lips: "Then you are too modest. Furong is not such a fool. When she was at home, she was the most careful and careful. Even the grandmother was full of praise for her and wanted to keep her forever. by my side."

Fu Rong's eyebrows twitched slightly, and then she calmed down again.She really didn't like this tone of voice.She said sternly, "I'm just helping out in my family's shop. The eldest young mistress has won the prize. I'm just a country woman, how can I understand these things."

Gu Qingchen cleared his throat: "I don't know why Young Mistress Fan asked us to come today?"

"It's nothing special, but I heard that you have some friendship with the owner of Zuixiangju. They have some new dishes, and they all use chili sauce. I don't know if you have tried them?" Mrs. Fan Da There was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Gu Qingchen immediately understood in his heart that the Fan family must have known the origin of the chili sauce.He also pretended to be stupid and didn't understand, and said with a smile: "I tried it before."

Young Mistress Fan's eyes froze: "Shopkeeper Gu, although our Fan family is not a famous family, we have some connections in this town. When a store is first opened, it is always very hard. At this time, if If someone can help you, then the road ahead will be much easier."

Fu Rong's hand suddenly tightened.Yuanyuan suddenly hugged Furong's neck: "Mom, I want to pee." Furong stood up, smiled at Young Mistress Fan, hugged Yuanyuan and went out.

"About the matter just now, shopkeeper Gu, please think about it. Furong came from our family, just like my own sister, and I just want to help her." Furong hugged Yuanyuan After walking around outside for a while, when I came back, I heard Mrs. Fan Da say so.

Gu Qingchen had already got up, cupped his hands and said: "There is still something to do at home. Then let's take our leave first."

Young Mistress Fan looked at the backs of the two leaving, and the smile on her face subconsciously subsided.It turned out that Furong married such a family.At the beginning, when I wanted to praise her, she was so unwilling, but she was willing to endure hardships with others.It can be seen that this is not on the table, and it really is not on the table.

However, that little face just now flashed across Young Mistress Fan's mind, and she caressed her stomach unconsciously.If I could have such a child, I wouldn't need to work so hard.

"She suggested that she could help us set up a bigger store. The premise is that we must sell some of the items in the store in Fan's restaurant, and we will cut off contact with other restaurants in the future." Back to At home, just as Furong closed the door, Gu Qingchen said.

Fu Rong turned her head, stuffed Yuanyuan into Gu Qingchen's arms, and shook her arms: "Yuanyuan is getting heavier and heavier. I hugged him for a while, but I can't hold him anymore."

Gu Qingchen took Yuanyuan with a smile, weighed him, and said, "It's so kind of you, mother, to support him. Look at this little butt, it's a bit meaty. What do you do about the shop?" Look?"

"You are the manager of the shop, you are the master." Fu Rong stood up and tugged at the front of her clothes, "I'm going to cook first, you can take Yuanyuan to change clothes."

Gu Qingchen naturally understood what Furong was thinking.Furong doesn't want to have anything to do with her previous life.He didn't want Fu Rong to be unhappy because of the past.Although Fan's proposal is very tempting, it is to make Furong's shop completely attached to the Fan's business.The consequence of this is that Furong can't get rid of the shadow of the Fan family.She doesn't want to, and neither does he.

Young Mistress Fan's conversation this time did not receive any results, at least within the time she expected, she did not receive any news from Gu Qingchen and Fu Rong.But at the same time, there was news that on the day Gu Qingchen opened the store, the shopkeeper of Zuixiangju proposed to cooperate with them, but Gu Qingchen did not agree.Only then did Mrs. Fan feel relieved. I'm afraid they really only want to guard this three-acre land.

"Eldest young mistress, why do you give such an ignorant girl another stage, she can't even climb up. You loved her enough back then, but she bit Lu Dongbin like a dog and didn't know good people. They are just ordinary pastries, so how can tofu be sold for the price of meat?" Aunt Qian, the nanny of Young Mistress Fan, persuaded, "She is also worthy of being a stepmother."

Young Mistress Fan nodded and sighed again: "Anyway, there is still a child ahead, and she will still have a lot of money in the future." I'm celebrating the New Year, but I'm only 25.The children under the second young lady's knees are almost five years old.Young Mistress Fan's hand touched her belly unconsciously: Why are you so disappointing?

The child was the pain in Mistress Fan's heart, so Aunt Qian knew it.She said quietly: "If you don't have a child by your side, you can say that your poor relatives can't support you. I heard from the old man that you can have more children this way."

"But, where do such children come from?" Young Mistress Fan thought about those children in the family, and shook her head, "There are not many in my family who are attractive."

Aunt Qian lowered her voice and said, "It's okay to go outside and buy a clean one. As long as it looks clever and cute. Don't worry, young mistress, I will find a good one for you."

Young Mistress Fan suddenly flashed the child in her arms when she saw Fu Rong that day, and said, "It's better to have a tiger head and a tiger brain, with big eyes, and it looks smart."

Aunt Qian understood and agreed to go down.Young Mistress Fan leaned on the pillow alone, closed her eyes, and remembered her big round eyes.It would be great if I could have such a child.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Fu Rong and Gu Qingchen went back to Lin's place for a reunion dinner.Fu Rong carefully arranged a gift and looked back at the house, not only Gu Lao and Gu Lao Niang had it, but Gu San Bo and Gu Er Auntie also had it.On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Fu Rong and his shop reopened.

The business is a little worse than before, but there is still a daily income of one or two silver.Just relying on this horseshoe, I'm afraid it won't last long.Especially in this age without machines.Furong hired several short-time workers to help peel the chestnuts.Gu Qingchen ran all over the villages in the town, and collected everything he could get.Furong estimated the quantity, and it should be no problem to make it into autumn.It is the last word to develop other things.

Fleur's idea turned to egg rolls.In this era, egg rolls are a precious thing, and eggs are the most expensive.Furong has chickens at home, but there is no shortage of eggs.It's just that the flour should be good.Furong tried to make some, all freshly made, but it attracted some people.It's just that this thing can't be put in more than horseshoe cake, and it's fragile.Furong only makes some every day to keep it fresh.For other things, Fu Rong pondered for a long time, because of limited conditions, it was difficult to do.

Gu Qingchen saw these situations in his eyes.That night, they had just had dinner, Furong was washing dishes in the kitchen, and Gu Qingchen leaned against her: "Daughter-in-law, why don't we go for a walk in the county town."

Furong raised her head, saw Gu Qingchen's eyes, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why do you want to go to the county town?"

"Daughter-in-law, I heard from Sanbo that the county town is bigger than the town, and many things are passed from there. Let's go over and have a look, maybe we can come up with more pastries." Gu Qingchen took it He picked up the bowl in Furong's hand, wiped it dry and stacked it up, looking at Furong with anticipation in his eyes.

The customs in the county are indeed different from those in the town.Furong felt that it was worth the long journey.

After getting out of the car, Gu Qingchen took Furong and went straight to the restaurant.The two found a secluded corner, Gu Qingchen asked Xiaoer for a towel, and wiped Yuanyuan's hands.Yuanyuan's eyes rolled around, but she didn't cry or make a fuss, she was close to Furong.Ever since she was almost taken away last time, Yuanyuan has been a little scared, especially when she was going out, she definitely followed Furong closely and didn't take a step too far.Every time Fu Rong looked at it, she would feel a surge of self-blame in her heart.

Wine hugs in county towns are much more expensive than those in towns.The portion of a plate of stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers is nearly one-third less than that in the town, but the price is ten cents more expensive.Furong tasted it, and the heat was indeed much better.Or the place is different, and the target audience is different.

Fu Rong and Gu Qingchen went to several pastry shops and bought some special pastries to taste.Yuanyuan especially likes the little dumpling made of glutinous rice.Fu Rong thought of the mugwort balls made by her grandmother that she had eaten when she was a child, and she knew it immediately.

The streets in the county town are much wider than those in the town, and they are much cleaner and tidy.Gu Qingchen paid attention to the clothes of the people around him, then looked at Furong's clothes, pulled Furong up and went to the nearby tailor shop.

"What are you doing here? I just bought two bolts of cloth last time, and I'm still keeping them at home." Fu Rong whispered in Gu Qingchen's ear.

Gu Qingchen just smiled, looked at the clothes hanging in the store, walked to the counter, and asked, "Boss, besides these clothes, do you have anything better here?"
