Chapter 79
Huang Shengfan's words were heard by Li Jiazhu, who worked in their town, and he told Granny Li when he returned, "What are you talking about? I met Ran Niang, and it was said that it was not good for my daughter, so I gave you something to make up for it! What are you talking about? People in that area are saying that in order to get rich, the aunt’s family asked the daughter to come out to meet the male guest! They eat so much food! Now I’m looking for a poor carpenter, and I’m waiting to live in poverty and regret it later. die!"
Mrs. Li was even more annoyed when she heard that, "What kind of bear is this! If you don't get along well, you will lose your reputation! Doesn't Chunxiu know this kind of moral corruption? How dare you tell Niang Ran!?"
Now there is work in the field, weeding, manure collection and top dressing.It's too hot to sell sugar, oil and fruit. They are all the scum of Mrs. Li. Let Li Daniu and Li Erlang sell them in the county.Mrs. Li tends the crops at home.Hearing this, she asked Li Da Niu to rest at home for a day. She went to Baihe County, found Mrs. Gu, and told her about it, "Don't turn around and ruin Niang Ran's reputation!"
"Damn bastard!" Gu Chuhan dropped the rag and wanted to find someone.
Mrs. Gu also turned blue with anger, and hurriedly pulled her back, "That kind of scum, the more you talk to him, the more they will smear your second sister!"
"Could it be that he should be allowed to ruin Second Sister's reputation outside?!" Gu Chuhan was almost suffocated recently!
Mrs. Li also felt that this matter was done too carelessly, "When we met each other, how can we tell him to see Niang Ran?"
Mrs. Gu's face turned ugly for a long time, "Jiulang didn't like it at the time, and didn't let me say anything more. She and Shiro went to your house with the threshing machine, but the second one went to Chunxiu to matchmaker and didn't say anything. Chunxiu didn't like it, so she asked Ran Niang to come out and deliver tea, so he could see it!"
"This Chunxiu is real! This kind of person has found out about him, and he doesn't even talk about it! Even if the family is rich, it's not good for people!" Mrs. Li blamed the niece of her natal family.No matter what, no matter rich or poor, you have to say that you have a good character!
Mrs. Gu pursed her lips and looked down for a long time, she was also angry, and looked at Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang, "You two are not allowed to go! If you really want to find out, if you get involved, there will be even worse things to say! They said they let them Go ahead! When your second sister is engaged, if you find a poor carpenter and don't look for them, then someone with brains will think about it, it's their fault!"
"That's right! I'd rather find poor carpenters than them, that's their fault!" Mrs. Li also nodded sullenly.
Gu Chuhan could only scold his mother a few words, and endured it.
But the He family took action. When Cui went back to her mother's house, she listened to it, and immediately turned back, "Yes! Our family is poor! No one wants to find a poor carpenter from my family. I don’t know what’s wrong! I’ve got something wrong, and I’m still talking about others! If a blind date doesn’t work, it’s bad for someone, and you want to put gold on your face. Who wants to get married with such a person?”
The few people who were discussing were stopped by her and scattered in all directions.
Cui was so angry that she suspected when she got home that Gu Raniang must have been with Huang Shengfan for taking so many things from Huang Shengfan, otherwise where did she get them?
He Mugen heard her guessing and complaining, and told her not to talk nonsense, "They sent things because they wanted to marry the daughter of the Gu family, which means that the daughter of the Gu family is good! The Gu family doesn't want to be relatives with him, that's their problem! It's really good, can the Gu family Don't want to? Still see us?"
Cui was right when she heard it, "That's it!"
He Mugen urged her to buy the dowry as soon as possible, "The two marriages are settled, and nothing they say will work!"
Cui couldn't help asking again, "I've seen the daughter of the Gu family, and she didn't say she was like a fairy, so why does the Huang family have to rely on her!?"
"You don't look good, do you?" He Mugen said directly.
These words pleased Mrs. Cui, thinking of her son, who is handsome and handsome, he can be counted in every family, and happily prepared the dowry.
The matchmaker also went to Gu's house again to ask Mrs. Gu if she had any requirements for the bride price.
This trip is a courtesy, Mrs. Gu said with a smile that she didn't ask for it, "Our family has never held such a happy event, and we don't understand it. Their family can do it as they see fit!"
The matchmaker also wanted to make a show of this matter, and said that Gu Chuhan met He Jingzhi when he was poisoned, and he carried Gu Chuhan to the doctor. virtuous.
The conversation was hot, and I asked what the Gu family's plans were in the future.Although the Gu family said that they didn't have much land, it would cost a lot of money to build the courtyard.And sworn brothers with the magistrate, so he won't just set up a stall in the future.
Mrs. Gu also understood that she was thinking of something so that the dowry could be made depending on the situation. After thinking about it, she said, "The court's decree hasn't come down yet, let's wait for the decree to come and see."
"Oh! It's a great honor to get the court's will! Your Jiulang is really amazing! I didn't use the threshing machine, but I used the rice transplanter! A rice transplanter, did two things. What about the work of the three of you! It is really convenient for the common people!" The matchmaker was envious and praised, and seeing Mrs. Gu also smiled with pride, and followed the words, "Is this Jiulang not young? I don't know who's in the future. My daughter is so lucky!"
What she said was the truth.Gu Jia Jiulang is so handsome and well-groomed, and he even made that thresher. He is so capable at such a young age, I really don't know what kind of wife he will marry in the future!
Mrs. Gu smiled a little guilty, "Jiulang is still young! Study for a few years first! Study for a few years!"
The matchmaker boasted for a long time, and returned to the He family with the words, and told the He family everything he said.
Cui pursed her lips while listening, "I've already done these things, compared to those others, it's already a lot of ostentation, do you want to buy more?"
The matchmaker hurriedly said, "I didn't say I want it, but Kua Jingzhi is a good boy, and I'm very satisfied! Take as much or as little as you like, no objection!"
He Mugen looked at it and said, "Then buy another gold hairpin or bracelet!"
Cui took a deep breath, "That would cost several taels of silver..."
"Some of the work I do here can be collected!" He Mugen said.
Cui was dissatisfied, they were not only Da Lang, but also Xiao Lang!How much money is enough for this?
When I went to the goldware shop, I found that gold jewelry was too expensive. The Canadian ones cost more than a dozen taels of silver. Her family couldn’t afford it, so I bought a flower hairpin inlaid with silver and jade. It was distressing to spend more than three taels It's incredible.
He Mugen saw that the money for the flowers was almost the same, so he didn't say anything.
When the auspicious day came, Gu Chuhan and Mrs. Gu didn't leave the stall and waited at home.
Mrs. Wang and Gu Laowu didn't leave the stall either, and stayed at home to help with the reception.
Mrs. Sun, Mr. Gu, Mr. Lian, Mr. Gu, and Mr. Gu also came over.
Lian walked around a lot, looked at the new courtyard of Sanfang, and panicked in her heart, pulled Sun to speak in a low voice, "It's strange that they don't want to find a poor carpenter if they don't want one son in the family. Yes! I said before that I want to find someone who is rich and good-looking!"
Sun smiled and didn't respond, and asked her, "Have you settled on the marriage of Xianniang?"
"My Xianniang looks good and is a nice person, but she is dragged down! I didn't expect that the youngest of them got engaged first!" Lian was very angry when she mentioned this.
Sun Hui comforted her, "Niang Ran wants to keep her filial piety, and the engagement is just to make an appointment first! On the other hand, Niang, you can get married if you are engaged!"
Lian pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, "Wait and see what kind of bride price this poor carpenter's family can get!" They definitely want it!But if I found a poor carpenter, even if I wanted it, he couldn't get it out!Besides, there are still two sons, so I won't give them both!
From time to time, people hired by the He family came, He Mugen and Cui Shi, He Jingzhi, the matchmaker, and even invited an uncle, sister-in-law and aunt to support the scene.
Gu Chuhan specially made the fruit tea, put mint in it, and hung it in the well in advance to chill it.I bought a dim sum plate in the county again, fried two plates of sugar oil fruit, deep-fried wontons, baked small Huangqiao sesame cakes, and placed small bamboo sticks.
As soon as they met, the two parties greeted each other with a smile, and entered the room modestly, pouring tea and serving snacks.
It was the first time for Cui to come here, and he looked around the room, landscape paintings, antique racks, books and porcelain placed on them, incense burner on the side table, two vases at both ends, all filled with flowers.The eight kinds of snacks on the table are also pleasing to eat, and the smile on the face is even more satisfied.
Mrs. Wang poured tea, greeted Mrs. Cui and the matchmaker, and the two women who came together had tea and snacks and talked.
Sun smiled and praised Gu Ranniang over and over again, "I was a good child when I was young! Not to mention how handsome he is, he can be counted in ten miles! As far as this character is concerned, there is no such virtuous, gentle, and capable person! "
Lien ran over to see the dowry gifts, chicken, fish, meat, wine, wedding cakes, clothes, materials and jewellery, plus a gift money.The things seem to be so strange, and the gift money is only five taels of silver!The jewelry is also not good, silver hairpins and silver bracelets, but the earrings are big, so what's the use of silver pieces?After looking around, Lian couldn't help laughing.If they are willing, the Huang family will definitely be able to double it several times!
Mrs. Gu is not dissatisfied, these things are already very good, and the families in the village are not well-off, so they are much worse.
When handing over, He Jingzhi looked a little puzzled.Mother also bought a silver inlaid jade flower hairpin?
Cui Shi was not willing to wear it on herself.It's already spent a dozen or so. Who in the countryside marry a daughter-in-law like this?Seeing her son's questioning eyes, Cui felt a little guilty, but she was still tense, joking with Mrs. Gu and Sun.
Suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes outside, and he walked in quickly with a swipe of ink, "Mr. Gu!?"
Gu Chuhan heard the sound of waving ink, and came out, "Waving ink? What happened?"
Swiping ink to see so many people in the family, he went up to greet her, then bowed his hands to Mrs. Gu, and replied, "Young master Gu! The imperial court has come to order! Young master wants to help with the rice transplanter and thresher, let's go!" No, let the slaves report to Mr. Gu! The imperial court promised Mr. Gu and his brothers to take part in the scientific examination in the future! There is also a reward of 300 taels of silver! Regarding the matter of Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu said that we will wait until Mr. Gu arrives in Fucheng to receive the reward. discuss!"
Gu Chuhan had already expected it, and nodded, "I see, I'll trouble you to run for a while! To receive the reward, I'll go tomorrow when my second sister is engaged!"
"This is what a slave should do! This slave is here to pick up Mr. Gu!" Hui Mo responded.
Both Mrs. Gu and Gu Shilang came out in a hurry. They heard that they would reward 300 taels of silver, and they also promised that the younger brother of the third house would take the scientific examination in the future.Even though Mrs. Gu was disappointed, she still cheered up. After thanking her with a smile, she beckoned Hua Mo to the wing to rest and drink tea.
Gu Shilang asked if he hadn't eaten yet, so he hurriedly prepared two plates of dim sum and biscuits along with tea and brought them to him.
There was an explosion in the main room here, "It is a great honor to receive a reward from the imperial court! No one of us has received a reward from the imperial court!"
"What a double happiness! Double happiness!"
Mrs. Cui took a few breaths, 300 taels of silver, so much silver in one fell swoop!She was thankful that she was reluctant to part with the flower hairpin but she still wore it on her body, and told the matchmaker that her future mother-in-law would put hairpins on her future daughter-in-law.
The matchmaker understood immediately, she was going to have hairpins, and laughed.
After talking for a while, the matchmaker asked Gu Raniang to come out and see her.
This is already engaged, and it is right to come out to meet the future in-laws for a gift.Gu Raniang changed into a jade-white embroidered blue flower flag dress that was awarded to her by the Red Yu, combed her hair twice, piled with silver pieces of gauze hairpins, and thick-soled plain shoes, making her taller, more elegant and dignified.
Seeing her coming out like this, He Jingzhi's eyes were glued to her body, and he walked every step and inch, his eyes were bewildered.
Mrs. Cui was also very satisfied, and took Gu Ranniang's hand when she came up, "This girl is really good! Our family has also accumulated blessings in the previous life, and we can marry such a good girl as Ranniang as a wife!"
Others should also praise.
Then Cui said, "Your mother's filial piety has not passed yet. Although it is a happy event, I have considered and considered the purchase! Although this flower hairpin is a bit plain, it is a good omen to wear it with silver inlaid jade! It is also a good omen when you are young. Little girl! I'll put it on for you!" Take out the silver inlaid jade flower hairpin and put it on Gu Raniang's head.
Gu Raniang lowered her head, blushed, and slightly bowed her knees to thank her.
"Oh! Wearing it like this, our mother Ran is more elegant and dignified, and looks better!" The matchmaker began to take the lead in boasting.
Seeing that Gu Raniang's face was blushing, Mrs. Wang pulled her out with a smile and asked her to go back to the room.
The bride's family doesn't care about food, after speaking, the ceremony is over, after the Geng Tie, it is officially settled, and then they leave.
After seeing off the guests, the rest of the Gu family didn't leave, and stayed in the third room to talk about the reward of the thresher.
Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er both said they wanted to accompany Gu Chuhan to receive the reward, but they didn't want to give in to each other.
But Sun thought that Sanfang's son would be able to take the scientific examination in the future, and Gu Jiulang and Gu Shilang were studying again. After winning this award, they must study hard to prepare for the scientific examination in the future.Then this business of setting up a stall must be taken over by someone!
Lien has already said, "I got 300 taels of silver in one fell swoop, and you are no longer short of money! Maybe you should go to study hard to catch the exam! But there is no time to set up a stall!? At this time, you still have money to buy!" Don't share with us? Everyone else's family has got a good fortune, but our family's kindness is not kindness, right?"
Speaking of this, I stopped talking.
Mrs. Gu didn't think that 300 taels of silver was too much, where did this little money go?Go and deal with those high-ranking officials, I'm afraid they won't be able to send them in, and the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate may even look down on the gatekeepers!How can you save the third child! ?
Gu Chuhan did not have much time, but she was unwilling to ask her to hand over the stall to them!And people from the Xie family will also come to talk about it when the time comes!
Having said that, Boss Gu has something to say, "In the future, when Jiulang and Juro study, they have to take the test of merit, so we can't rely on my Dalang? Whenever something happens, it is our Dalang who runs it! This time, the thresher is also owned by our Dalang. The credit for Lang’s running away! Among the four households, he took the most money from our family, and Da Lang paid filial piety when he came back, so mother never thought of us!? What’s so good that you can’t think of me?”
Lian was not convinced, "I can't think of anything good about your family? Didn't Dalang help me to meet the magistrate before he took the exam for a scholar!? Our family has nothing! No one can think of us!"
"Isn't your daughter working in the embroidery workshop!?" Elder Gu yelled at her angrily.
"That's my daughter's embroidery work! She is so good that the proprietress let me in! How can you help us!? Our family is the poorest with a few houses. If you need something, you can find our house. When will you be there?" It’s a good thing to think of our family!? If it’s not our family this time, I’m not finished!” Lian also yelled angrily.
Mrs. Wang frowned, "Today is the day of Ranniang's engagement, and it is a great thing that the court has rewarded her. Can you argue first!" The more you argue, the more mad mother-in-law and Jiulang will be!
Mrs. Sun also gave Boss Gu a look, and hurriedly responded with a smile, "It's already noon, let's cook and eat quickly! Let's pass this happy event! Let's talk about other things after Jiulang receives the reward!"
Seeing that Mrs. Gu's face was very ugly, she didn't say much.
Mrs. Wang and Gu Laowu said goodbye first and went home.
Mrs. Sun saw that Mrs. Gu didn't intend to keep food, so she also told Boss Gu to leave.
Seeing that they were all gone, Lian Shi wanted to say something more, but was called home by Gu Er Er.
"Grandma, don't be angry with them! Our family is getting better and better, they can only envy and hate!" Gu Shilang came over to persuade.
"Today, our family has double happiness. Your second sister made a good marriage, and our family got rewards and money. I'm not angry!" Mrs. Gu took a few breaths.
Gu Raniang also came to persuade, "But our family can take the science test, so we really have to think about what to do in the future!"
Gu Chuhan waved his hand, "Make a big lunch at noon! Get a few dishes, order sweet wine chilled, let's talk after eating!"
Mrs. Gu also felt that since it was a happy event, she had to rejoice, "Okay! Cook some good dishes!"
Several people started cooking together, cooked a piece of fish, boiled white meat, braised eggplant, scrambled eggs and two green vegetables, and a fermented egg drop soup.
Looking at it with a swipe of ink, I secretly thought that this family really knows how to live and eat.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Gu divided the wedding cakes into pieces and chopped up the meat, and asked Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang to go to the village to make friends, and several of the Gu family's own family gave them away.Meat is only sent to those who have a good relationship with the eldest, second, fourth and fifth families.
"Let's keep the chickens at home first! Raise them until the [-]th day of the eighth month and eat them!"
The four are all red roosters, and they won't lay eggs if they are raised. Gu Chuhan asked Ming'er to take them all to the county town, "One for my aunt's house, one for my aunt's house!"
"Alright!" Mrs. Gu replied, so I won't buy another one.
Lian Shi carried a catty of meat, and snorted, "Take a few dozen catties of meat, just chop us off! Keep those things for yourself to eat!"
"It wasn't much at first!" Gu Er Er said to her.
Lian looked at the things and felt really shabby, and felt that it was a pity that the Huang family's marriage failed. After thinking about it, she thought of her daughter, and said to Gu Laoer, "Let's go to Chunxiu and say Let’s see if you can talk it over with Xianniang?”
"Chunxiu doesn't even want to say it, can it be done?" Gu Laoer frowned, hopelessly.
Lien's face pulled back, "I can't say that! Xianniang wants to look good, and she wants to be skilled! What's worse!? Besides, Sanfang received a reward from the court, so why don't we borrow it!? It hurts us I didn’t say anything good about it!”
Thinking of this, Gu Laoer also became more confident, "Then talk to Chunxiu? But it's not good if we don't get along with Ran Niang!"
"If you want to talk about this, how can you trap a good family!" Lian Shi is also angry, but because of anger, he can't let the good family go and let the girl find a poor one.Thinking of this, he was filled with resentment, "If it's a reward, it should belong to our family! Bad things are supported by us, and good things are all eaten by them!"
Gu Lao Er also felt resentful, but the thresher was not something they reached out to make, and the rewards were all down, so what can they do?The boss was afraid that he wanted this reward more than anyone else, and he didn't even make sense of it!
Boss Gu made up his mind to go to Fucheng with him.
Gu Laoer also stared.
The next day, I got up before dawn, came directly to call the door, and just stared at it.
Mrs. Gu was also worried that something might happen to Gu Chuhan, so she didn't refuse, and let the two go with her.
Gu Chuhan asked Mrs. Li to help first, and she took Gu Shilang along with her, "Go out too, let's see!"
"Okay! Don't worry at home!" Mrs. Gu responded.
The four of them followed Hui Mo into the carriage and drove all the way to Fucheng.
On the way, Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er seized the opportunity to talk about rewards and stalls.
Gu Chuhan just pouted back and ignored him, leaned back in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing her disgust, he was also afraid of offending her, so Boss Gu didn't say any more, thinking that when he got to the place, let the eldest son talk about it, and then he would definitely be able to say it!
Gu Laoer saw that he didn't say much, and he didn't say much.
When they arrived in Fucheng, Cheng Yi was already waiting, "Jiulang!"
"Brother!" Gu Chuhan greeted him with cupped hands.
Gu Shilang also bowed his hands in salute, looking at Cheng Yi with gratitude in his eyes. Although 300 taels of silver cannot save father, it is a reward from the court, which is different!Their family has passed the scientific examination, and with Brother Nine's intelligence and contribution, he will definitely pass the examination!
Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er also rushed to say hello.
Cheng Yi brought a few people to the government office, "Wash and rest first, let's talk after dinner!"
Gu Chuhan declined, "I came here with my eldest uncle and second uncle, and I agreed before that I will live with my eldest brother!"
Cheng Yi saw a few of them, and it was not easy to arrange for the censor to live in the government office, so he nodded regretfully, "Okay! Let's eat first!"
I brought a few people to order Ximian and had a meal.Cheng Yi called Gu Chuhan aside, "That's why I asked you to come here. Since this Eunuch Li is able to deliver the decree, he is the one who can deliver the message! You can be bought!"
Almost poor and empty, the reward is only the 300 taels of Gu Chuhan who is about to fly before he gets it: ...
Cheng Yi looked at her and laughed, "You don't have to worry about the money, although I don't have any, but Junfeng has plenty of it! Pick him up a bit in advance! Just tell you, see how much is suitable! Then Li My father-in-law likes to eat tiger skin wontons, so I will offer the recipe later! Let him go back so we can pass the word!"
"Then... put in 300 taels! I also offered the recipe for Huangqiao Shaobing!" Gu Chuhan said weakly.
Cheng Yi laughed heartily, and couldn't help but pat her on the head, "Okay! Just 300 taels! That's enough!"
Gu Chuhan felt that his heart was dripping with blood. 300 taels!
When the two came out again, Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er asked suspiciously, "What did you say? Is there anything else?"
"Talk about some private matters!" Cheng Yi said, and led him to see the court censor and decree officer.
As soon as Boss Gu heard this, he pulled Gu Chuhan, "You don't understand anything when you see the officials of the imperial court. Let's go and see you after calling your elder brother over!"
Gu Chu coldly stared at him, "The court officials belong to your family, so you can see them as you please?"
Boss Gu's face suddenly turned ugly.
Gu Lao Er said from the side, "Brother! This matter cannot be delayed! It is an honor for us to meet with you! Isn't it? Jiulang!" He also asked Gu Chuhan for approval.
Gu Chuhan glanced at the two of them, then quickly followed Cheng Yi.
Receiving the reward is also simple, the official directly announced the will of the current emperor to Gu Chuhan, and then gave her 300 taels of silver, which was also registered by the government.
Gu Chuhan saw that it was different from receiving the imperial decree in the TV series, so he pursed his lips secretly, but still expressed his gratitude respectfully.Looking at the three big silver ingots on the tray, it seemed that there was a hatred.The reward is in her hands, not hers!It won't work if it's warm for a while!
Fan Yushi looked at Gu Chuhan as a child, and asked that he was only 12 years old. He couldn't believe that she made the rice transplanter and thresher, "Can this thresher remove wheat seeds and rice?"
Since he asked, Gu Chuhan explained to him the working principle of the thresher, "If you talk about dewatering rice, because when the early rice is harvested, the ears of rice are ripe, but the stems are still green and wet, but the effect is not as good as that of threshing wheat. It will be skinned, and it needs to be peeled again. The late rice can be harvested a few days later, and the situation will be much better."
Before meeting Fan Yushi, she worked in the Ministry of Industry and was responsible for this area, so she couldn't help but test her.
The operating principle of the machine was nothing to Gu Chuhan. He not only answered the questions fluently, but also subtly mentioned a few things that were difficult for Fan Yushi.If you don't believe her and feel that she is cheating, then let him think about it for himself!
"Is this Gu Chuhan really only 12 years old?" Fan Yushi couldn't help asking Cheng Ju.
Cheng Ju was also a little confused when he heard it just now, and nodded for sure, "It's only 12 years old!" He didn't believe it at first, but his son knew it, but he couldn't make rice transplanters and sewing machines!
Fan Yushi's eyes changed when he looked at Gu Chuhan again.
Cheng Yi looked at it, and immediately invited him to the production factory, "We don't know much about some things, we know one thing but don't know the other, why don't you go and have a look and let Chu Han explain it to you!?"
Originally, he had no intention of doing so, but looking at Gu Chuhan, Fan Yushi nodded.
Cheng Yi also invited Eunuch Li, the messenger, "Eunuch doesn't know, not only the tiger skin ravioli, but also the Huangqiao biscuits, which were all made by my foster brother. Now that he's here, he can also let Eunuch taste it." Try that Huangqiao biscuit! If my father-in-law likes it... then it will be our honor!"
Wen Xian knew the elegant meaning, and Eunuch Li immediately understood that if he wanted to bring back the tiger skin ravioli and the Huangqiao pancake recipe, he would not have made the trip in vain. ! When I came to Xiangyang Mansion, my mouth was also stained!"
Seeing that he understood, Cheng Yi also laughed.
The letter was sent to Yan Junfeng in advance, and he was already waiting.
Threshers and sewing machines did not establish separate workshops, but were directly combined to form Yan's Manufacturing Factory.
Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er also went to the production factory together, seeing such a large film, they were all envious.If Gu Jiulang really did this, then wouldn't he also have the money in it! ?How much do you earn! ?The two thought at the same time and looked at each other.
Gu Chuhan followed Fan Yushi and Eunuch Li to an unformed threshing machine, and stretched out his hand to install it while explaining it.
Seeing her completely handy posture, Fan Yushi nodded.Those who don't know how to do this will definitely not be able to pretend.
Going to the sewing machine again, there is more to talk about. Gu Chuhan only briefly explained the operating principle of the sewing machine, and then focused on explaining the function and operation of the force between the bearing and the bearing. "This principle is interlinked and can be applied to other sewing machines. Get on the machine!"
"Oh? What machines can be used?" Fan Yushi asked.
Gu Chuhan saw that he was really curious, so he laughed, "The thresher is used! There are other things, and printing is also acceptable. Although there is no research on the wooden cattle and horses that Kong Ming used to transport grain and grass, if there is, it must have used this aspect The role of principle and force!"
"Printing? You said printing is also possible?" Fan Yushi was surprised.
Gu Chuhan nodded, "Yes! But I have never seen a printing machine, but I can also imagine that it is possible to make a printing machine by using the operation of bearing gears, which is similar to the theory of a sewing machine!"
Fan Yushi had seen the printing machine before, but it was completely different from what she said. He didn't ask about the sewing machine right away, but asked her about the printing machine instead.
Yan Junfeng, who followed behind, looked at Cheng Yi inquiringly: Why is there another printing press?
Cheng Yi shook his head, he didn't know either.But seeing Gu Chuhan's confident and calm smile, and what he explained to Fan Yushi seemed to be hand-crafted, the little people seemed to have light on their bodies, and that vibration felt inexplicably in their hearts.
Yan Junfeng also looked at Gu Chuhan, feeling that she was not just not simple anymore.He had never heard of these things!How did Gu Chuhan, a child of a rural farm family, know this?His eyes fell on Gu Shilang.
Gu Shilang is not stupid, he listened to his question, and said directly, "After my mother passed away, my ninth brother broke his leg and lay on the bed and couldn't move, and then he became enlightened!"
"Opened the divine aperture?" Yan Junfeng wanted to laugh a little. Could it be that such a thing really happened?
Gu Shilang stopped talking to them.Brother Nine said, everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty!Whoever has a baby will be charged!He can't say more!
Gu Chuhan didn't care about this, and failed to save Gu Lingshan.Now that the imperial court sends someone here, if she doesn't catch her, it will be difficult to say when the next time is!Don't wait for her to finally open a way to save Gu Lingshan, he has already been tortured and abused to death!
The printing machine talked for a long time, and Fan Yushi couldn't understand it.But seeing that Gu Chuhan had never seen a printing machine, he also said that she couldn't make it, so he had to let her go, took the working principle diagram of the sewing machine, and planned to take it away from the Ministry of Construction for research.
Gu Chuhan drew the drawings in great detail and annotated them in small print.
Fan Yushi saw that her handwriting was really not very good, so he smiled and pointed her a few words, "Practicing good handwriting is not only decent, but also very useful for scientific examinations!"
Gu Chuhan hurriedly thanked him, "My little one started school at an early age, but there was an accident at home. My father was exiled because of wounding someone to death, my mother hanged herself, and my little brother never went to school again. I also set up a small stall with my grandma this year. Fortunately, I was helped by my righteous brother, so the younger one and my younger brother went to school again!"
"Is there such a thing? Tell me!" Fan Yushi asked.Before, I knew that the Gu family was a crime in the family, and the children who were strangled were not allowed to participate in the scientific examination, but when they ran into it, they still asked.
Gu Chuhan reported the matter truthfully.
Cheng Zhifu also explained, "Because of the law, murder pays for life. Although Wang Ergou died on the tenth day after being hacked, Gu Lingshan could not escape the punishment of the law. After reporting it, he was sentenced to exile for three thousand miles in the Western Region."
Fan Yushi nodded, expressing his understanding of the matter, and told Gu Chuhan to let her practice calligraphy and study hard.
Gu Chuhan respectfully agreed.
Gu Shilang also cupped his hands and responded respectfully.Looking forward to it in my heart, this official asked Brother Jiu so much, and even took away the blueprints, can he help their family to ask the present saint to let dad go! ?
Coming out of the factory, Cheng Zhifu accompanied him to dinner.
Gu Chuhan washed his hands and went into the kitchen.
"Is it easy to make biscuits without a stove?" Cheng Yi also followed.
"No problem! That stove just makes the biscuits more delicious, and this general stove for baking biscuits can also do it!" Gu Chuhan responded, woke up with the noodles, picked several kinds of fillings, and made small Huangqiao biscuits. Grill on.
Cheng Yi asked her about the printing press, "Did you just remember it? I'll take you there to see the printing press when I turn around! We can catch the ones we can now!"
Gu Chuhan glanced at him, then went to turn over the charcoal fire, "I don't dare to be too radical now!" She wanted to save Gu Lingshan, but she had to guarantee her family first.All the young and old depended on her!
Cheng Yi froze for a moment, frowned and nodded, "Then spend more money, and I'll have someone watch over there in the capital. If the imperial court makes a printing press, as long as someone sends a message saying that you deserve the credit, the Holy Majesty will have it." Possible pardon!"
"Hmm! I thought so too!" Gu Chuhan smiled.
Not only Eunuch Li likes Huangqiao sesame seed cakes, but also Fan Yushi likes them very much.
After the meal, Gu Chuhan came over with two prescriptions and three bank notes to greet Eunuch Li.
Seeing the gift, Gu Chuhan stuffed the silver ticket into his sleeve, and Gu Chuhan smiled, "These two snacks in my family are delicious, although there are many people, but they are a bit difficult to be elegant, all thanks to the father-in-law's guidance!"
"Oh! This child is really sensible!" Eunuch Li patted her hand, smiling brightly, "I have tasted that biscuit, it is crispy and sweet on the outside, soft and delicious on the inside, and the filling is still tender and delicious, but This is the best sesame seed cake I have ever eaten! I believe nobles will like it too!"
This is a promise to present two prescriptions.
Gu Chuhan accompanied him and said nice things again, "The little one won't disturb the father-in-law's rest! The little one will leave!"
"Wait a minute!" Eunuch Li called her to stop, and took out a thumb-sized opal to reward her, "Look at you, you are sensible and capable, I also like you, Eunuch! Here is this little thing for you Take it and play!"
When Gu Chuhan saw it, he quickly accepted it overjoyed, thanked him again and again, and then withdrew.
Eunuch Li felt a little regretful holding the three bank notes, "He is handsome, capable, and has a good mouth. It would be great if he could enter the palace!" But he was just thinking about it. The merits of this machine, as long as it is not too bad, it is not too difficult to get a fame and glory!Definitely won't enter the palace either!How pitiful as he is, the family is poor and has no food, so sell him into the palace as a eunuch!
Thinking of his pitiful experience, he sighed again and put away the cash, "I can only count on these things!"
Gu Chuhan also counted on the energy value of this silver flower.
Although the 300 taels of silver were gone, Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang had no complaints.
"Ninth brother! Do you think that Eunuch Li can help our family talk?" Gu Shilang couldn't sleep.
"Yes! They just collect money and things to do things!" Gu Chuhan answered him.
Gu Shilang breathed a sigh of relief, "I hope it will be useful this time, and I can let dad go! Even if I don't let go... don't let dad be so far away, at least let dad change to someone closer!"
"Let's look at the situation first! Let's work hard!" Gu Chuhan told him to go to bed early.
The two of them slowly fell asleep.
Gu Dalang's rented small courtyard was packed, and Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er were huddled together with Gu Sanlang, talking and discussing rewards and merits.
Meng Shi also hoped that her husband and son-in-law would be successful, so she felt proud, but if her father-in-law asked her to persuade her, she dared not tell Gu Dalang.The threshing machine Xianggong didn't participate in the work, so he was unwilling to let him share the credit!He also helped to find a way to save the third uncle!
An uneasy night passed.
Just after breakfast, people from the production factory came to invite Gu Chuhan, saying that he would go to the production factory to give some advice.
Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er listened, packed up and followed.Boss Gu even called Gu Dalang, "You go too!"
"Yesterday, I received the prefect, the censor, and the herald! The production factory does not allow outsiders to enter!" The steward who received them directly stopped them.
Seeing their ugly faces, Gu Dalang also said, "This is not the rule of the Yan family, it is also the rule of the government! Dad! If I don't go to school today, I will take you and my second uncle around the city! Jiulang and he If you are busy, let him do it! When you are done, I will see you off!"
After Gu Chuhan greeted him, he took Gu Shilang and got into the steward's car.
Soaked in the factory for two days, while instructing and maintaining those threshers and sewing machines, I also took the opportunity to teach Gu Shilang.Although she does not agree with the cramming-style teaching, it is a rare opportunity, and it is worth remembering more.
Gu Shilang also knew that the opportunity was not easy, so he worked hard.
Eunuch Li's mission was completed and he was about to return to Beijing to return to his order. Fan Yushi also returned to Beijing with the working diagram of the printing press.
Gu Chuhan followed the county magistrate He who rushed over, and a group of people came out to see him off.
Boss Gu failed to speak a few times, so don't be too angry.
Gu Laoer turned his head and smiled, "Jiulang! It's not safe for you to hold the reward of 300 taels of silver! If you don't let me go, I'll take it for you! Don't worry, I will give it to your grandma as soon as I get home! "
"That's not necessary! There is a bank, and you can use it anytime you go! Baihe County also has it!" Gu Chuhan refused.
Cheng Yi looked at it and asked her to stay for a few more days, "I will also pay my respects to Master. You and Shiro will study in Fucheng from now on! After all, Master is better educated in Fucheng. After studying hard for a few years, you will get a good grade in the exam!"
"This matter can't be said, my mother's filial piety period has not yet passed!" Gu Chuhan smiled and did not agree.
Cheng Yi saw that he couldn't say anything, so he raised his hand angrily, and patted her twice, "You really want to piss me off!"
Gu Chuhan smiled and pretended to hold his head, turned around and saw Mrs. Cheng, looked at her from a distance, and raised the corners of his mouth, "I've been very busy these two days, and I haven't gone to say hello to Mrs. Cheng yet!"
Cheng Yi took her and Gu Shilang there.
Mrs. Cheng was watching her chatting and joking with Cheng Yi, her face turned blue with anger, but when she saw her approaching this way, she immediately got worried and became afraid again.
With a smile on the corner of Gu Chuhan's mouth, he looked at her with cold eyes and cupped his hands, "Mrs. Cheng!"
Mrs. Cheng was stared at by her cold eyes, and her whole body was stiff. She pulled it twice before she smiled, "Are you leaving? I'll ask Nanny Tang to seal Yicheng for you!"
Yicheng didn't say anything last time.
When Cheng Yi said this, he also thought of something, "Jiulang! I'll get you a broken carriage! You guys drive away when you go back!"
Gu Chuhan looked at him, "The carriage?"
Cheng Yi smiled, "I made the car, but the horse is made by the factory! You deserve it!" Then he said, "I'll let someone drive the carriage over first!"
Gu Chuhan looked at Gu Shilang with anticipation and excitement, "You go and see first?"
Gu Shilang couldn't help but nodded, and followed Cheng Yi.
Only Gu Chuhan and Mrs. Cheng were left, followed by Madam Tang.
Tang Momo looked at Gu Chuhan warily, "Gu Jiulang! You don't know why you got poisoned or where you got poisoned, but it was definitely not my wife who gave you the poison! You don't even want to falsely accuse our wife! Your reward today Glory, it was our young master and adults who helped your family!"
Gu Chuhan cast a gloomy glance at her, looked at Mrs. Cheng and smiled, "False accusation? I don't know that Cheng Yi had to do this. Does he also think it is a false accusation? Let Cheng Ju know that he also thinks it is a false accusation? Let the general public You know, and you all think it's a false accusation?"
"You..." Mrs. Cheng's face turned blue.
Gu Chu coldly snorted, "Madam magistrate, poisoning people's lives, you don't trust your own son, but you poisoned me! Rewards and honors? Then do you think, without my rice transplanter and thresher, the Cheng family would have rewarded you! ?”
"I didn't poison you! I never thought of harming anyone!" Mrs. Cheng looked at her sad face and forced herself to be calm.
Gu Chuhan sneered, "You really think I dare not? I didn't poke it out, and I didn't tell Cheng Yi, but it was because Cheng Yi was a righteous brother! If he knew that his mother was so vicious, you, my mother, might be It's going to be scrapped!"
"Don't be too presumptuous!" Madam Tang yelled angrily, but she didn't dare to speak loudly for fear of attracting people.
Gu Chuhan looked deeply at Mrs. Cheng, "If this kind of thing happens again, no matter whether Cheng Yi is my righteous brother or not, I will let your Cheng family be buried with me!"
Seeing her leave directly after the harsh words, Mrs. Cheng trembled with anger and her face turned pale.
Tang Momo supported her, and comforted her in a low voice, "He just doubted randomly! He didn't dare to do anything! He was alive and kicking, and no one would believe it!"
It took a while for Mrs. Cheng to calm down.
The carriage over there is indeed not new, but it doesn't look like it has been used for a long time. The wood is very thick and strong, and the horse is also a strong red horse.
Gu Chuhan smiled and said, "This is a big gift, it will be hot to accept!"
"As you said, the chief engineer of the production factory doesn't even have this thing, so I'm poor!" Yan Junfeng also came over and said with a smile.
After saying this, Gu Chuhan accepted it bluntly, "Charge it all to my account! I will write it off later!"
"It's a congratulatory gift!" Yan Junfeng didn't take it seriously.He wants to know about printing presses!
Gu Chuhan thought for a while, gave him a copy of the blueprint, and asked him to study it by himself compared with the old printing machine, "If you can develop a printing machine by yourself, the name of the manufacturer will be really famous!"
"The Gu family really has a genius! They are so well versed in business management!" Yan Junfeng seemed to understand Cheng Yi's kindness to him.
"Congratulations! Congratulations! I don't dare to be a genius, but a talent is still outstanding!" Gu Chuhan laughed.
Several people laughed.
Gu Chuhan took the opportunity to say goodbye.
With the carriage, Gu Chuhan drove the carriage home directly.
"The county magistrate is also in Fucheng, and he has to go back. We should follow the county magistrate! It's safe on this journey!" Gu Laoer looked at the magistrate He and said to Gu Chuhan.
Gu Chuhan was not interested, "Magistrate He still has official business, so he won't be with us!" He drove the car and walked away.
After following him for a while, he didn't get any benefit, so he ate two meals, and Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er were full of anger.
Mrs. Gu, Gu Raniang, Gu Ruoniang, and Mrs. Li were all very happy, "I didn't expect to get a carriage!"
Both Li Erlang and Li Xiaolang were so curious that they reached out to touch it.
The horse was quite docile, and Cheng Yi picked it on purpose. Not only Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er tried to drive the car, but even Gu Shilang drove a long way outside.
Hong Yu knew that she wanted to invite her to her home for dinner.I also want to mention the marriage, Gu Raniang's marriage is settled, and next to Jiulang is next!
Gu Chuhan said a few words politely, saying that it was another day, and picked up Mrs. Gu and Gu Raniang, and Mrs. Li rushed home.
Gu's second child leaned in front of Mrs. Gu, "Mother! This is a happy event! Do you want to celebrate!?"
"I'm already happy!" This matter is paving the way for celebration, so I can't find the north!
He didn't even celebrate, Gu Er Er suddenly felt very boring, didn't get anything, and went home angrily with the burden.
After they all left, Gu Chuhan left Mrs. Li, grandson and grandson at home to discuss the wonton stall and Huangqiao Shaobing.
Mrs. Li saw that she wanted to learn how to set up a stall and sell money for herself. Although she also wanted to make more money, make the family feel better, and send her grandson to study, she still shook her head, "If I teach it, I should teach it to your uncle's family." Let's go! Although your uncle is a little bit generous, your uncle's mother is still easy. Dalang is studying and has passed the exam. He is also a benevolent person. If he teaches their family, he will help you more in the future! My family has that candy Oily fruit! I only sell less in hot weather, and when the weather cools down, they will sell quickly! I can also make a lot of money!"
She has already persuaded Mrs. Gu, "After a few children, there must be someone to help! Even if there is something wrong with their family, they are better than others! Don't they still have to save Ling Shan!?"
Mrs. Gu also hesitated, "Teaching them is not so easy to teach!"
"You guys just listen to me! At least Dalang is benevolent and righteous, and he and Jiulang will help each other in the future!" Mrs. Li persuaded.
Gu Chuhan frowned, he really didn't want to, especially when he thought of Gu Yishan's posture and style, he was not sure that it wouldn't get worse if he gave it to him.
But thinking of Gu Dalang, she couldn't help but sigh again.Taking the exam also needs money!Relying on Meng's embroidery work, family subsidies, and Gu Dalang copying books for others, these are barely tight.If you go to Beijing to catch the exam in the future, you will definitely travel poorly!
In the end, the family and Mrs. Li discussed it and decided to teach Dafang the same Huangqiao biscuits.
"There will definitely be trouble in the second room!" Gu Shilang curled his lips, and she could make trouble even in the upper beam, and now she will definitely make trouble if she gets the chance.
"And the Xie family!" Gu Raniang frowned.
Gu Chuhan's face darkened, "Accordingly, the only way is to teach them all!"
Tiger skin wontons need a sense of mystery, and the same is true for Huangqiao biscuits.
"You can't teach them all! We just presented the prescriptions, but the bottom ones are all good, so what's the matter?" Mrs. Gu said with a sullen face.
She wants to save her son wholeheartedly, whoever bumps into her will definitely hate him!
"Teach them something special! Anyone who wants to learn can come!" Gu Chuhan thought about it, and he didn't teach tiger skin wonton or Huangqiao biscuits.
Gu Shilang's eyes lit up immediately, "What are you teaching? Brother Nine!"
"Just eat the fish!" Gu Chuhan replied to him.
"What noodle fish? Steamed noodle fish?" Several people were curious.
Gu Chuhan talked about the recipe for the fish below. She just ate it, so she guessed it was made like that, "Cook it in advance, put it in cold water, whoever wants to buy it, take a bowl with a colander, top it with red oil, hot and sour seasoning and chopped green onion Coriander, cool and delicious, better than cold noodles!"
After listening to it, I want people to try it.
"Then give it a try first? Do you think it will work?" Mrs. Gu also didn't want to teach the tiger skin wonton and Huangqiao biscuit to the public. If these two recipes are presented, they will become the food of the palace, and they can't be sold indiscriminately. Sometimes it was their family who annoyed the boss!
Gu Chuhan found the colander at home, first stirred the batter, flour, rice flour and starch, mixed with vegetable leaf juice, and made a few bowls of green noodle fish in a short time.
Topped with red oil, hot and sour seasoning, one bowl per person.
"How about a taste!" Gu Chuhan picked up a bowl first.
Several people held bowls, picked up spoons, and started eating.
The taste is hot and sour and delicious, and the noodle fish is chewy and refreshing. I couldn't help nodding, "Delicious!"
"This is cool and refreshing. It's delicious!" Li Erlang picked up a bowl in the blink of an eye.
Mrs. Li also praised, "Jiulang is so smart! This must be a good seller!"
When the news got out, Gu's family and Xie's family could learn how to sell, and everyone crowded into Gu's third room, chattering and discussing non-stop.
"Anyone who doesn't want to learn, or who has other things, you can go out! I don't have much time, so I only teach once!" Gu Chuhan looked around like a star.Several companies looked bad.
Boss Gu's face is long and dark, he just taught me how to make noodles, and he still pulls so many people, who can sell it for money! ?
Seeing so many people, Lian also scolded over and over again in his heart because he was not teaching tiger skin wontons and Huangqiao biscuits.If you earn money by yourself and get soft hands, you are not even willing to teach them a wonton!
Xie Yuanzhi didn't say he didn't want to learn, but he kept asking about rewards.
Xie Gaozhi was full of anger, "When something good happened, I never thought of my uncle's house! It's all accidents, and I took the money and found us! One wonton, you don't teach how to make pancakes, how can you teach me noodle fish!? "
Seeing that someone was making trouble, Lian couldn't help but say, "The reward is 300 taels of silver! You are not short of that money, and you still insist on not teaching! You have to teach me a noodle fish, What can you do!? You didn’t think of us when you borrowed kindness, but it’s as if we owe you your family!”
Mrs. Gu shouted angrily, "Get out if you don't want to learn!"
"Am I wrong? Why don't you teach tiger skin wontons and Huangqiao biscuits?! The daughters of the old five family and the Xie family have already learned it! Why don't you teach us!?" Lian opened his mouth and nodded.
"What did you say at the beginning, is there anyone who doesn't know? If you have to force me to learn, why don't you think about our family? I only think about myself, not others, who would miss you!?" Mrs. Gu said angrily.
Gu Chuhan pointed to the gate, "I have given the recipes of tiger skin ravioli and Huangqiao biscuits to Eunuch Li in the palace, and no one will teach them! If it becomes a tribute, we will not sell it again! Noodle fish I also want everyone to earn some change to subsidize the family, and anyone who doesn't want to, can go out immediately!"
Seeing that Xie Gaozhi still wanted to talk, Gu Chu coldly glanced at him and said again, "I don't need to be kind enough to teach you how to make money, I also need to listen to your lectures based on your face! Anyone of you who thinks you are capable can come up and have a discussion with me !"
Xie Yuanzhi held Xie Gaozhi to stop him from saying more, "It's the same if you can learn the same thing! Brother, don't talk nonsense if you don't want to. If everyone can't learn it, how many people will hate you!"
Mrs. Zhao didn't let Xie Gaozhi say any more, and said with a smile, "That's what you said! Jiulang can think about our family, this is good-hearted! What kind of noodle fish is he? How did you do it!?" Hurry up Open the topic.
Gu Chuhan looked at Xie Gaozhi, saw that he pulled his face and stopped bluffing, and then swept towards Lian Shi.
Gu Laoer smiled and pulled Lian Shi back, "Let's learn! Let's learn!"
The atmosphere became harmonious on the surface, and Mrs. Gu also got busy, teaching everyone how to make noodle fish.
It was simple, but it took a while to teach everyone.
"This noodle fish looks simple, but it tastes refreshing and delicious. The most important thing is the taste and ingredients of the noodle fish. Only by making it delicious can it sell more! As for how to manage it, it depends on one's ability! Our family Make room, or stop selling tiger skin wontons and sesame seed cakes, and sell noodle fish! Let’s see which one of us cooks better and sells more! You can try each other, and then try mine !" Gu Chuhan said in a deep voice.
Several families tried each other's food, but the taste was not as good as that made by Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu taught it again, emphasizing the proportion of flour, the degree of cooking, the time of soaking in water, and the ratio of ingredients again, so that they can remember them all.
Several families finished their studies, and they all dispersed.
Xie Yuanzhi lagged behind, asked about Gu Raniang's engagement, and said that Xie Siniang was not young anymore.
This hint is obvious enough.Xie Yuanzhi wanted to find a wealthy family for his daughter, but it was not easy.This nephew is handsome and capable, and if he develops in the future, his future should not be bad!
He also inquired about the reward, "Now that the sage allows you to take the scientific examination, you are going to study, right? Then the magistrate also got the reward, did you say anything about your scientific examination achievements?" If you can get a fame, After that, if a girl marries him, she must be a rich wife, not an official wife!If this is the case, then it is better to let the girl marry him!
"I haven't studied for a long time. In the past few years, I should settle down to study and prepare for the exam!" Gu Chuhan directly pushed the words away.
Seeing what she said, Xie Yuanzhi made it clearer, "After your second sister gets married, she should be next to you, right?"
"I haven't thought about it yet! Let's see it in a few years! It's not too late for a boy to get married after he's [-] or [-] years old! First test his merits, and then save my father!" Gu Chuhan also pushed it more clearly.
Xie Yuanzhi heard some voice-over, and felt a little displeased.His daughter is good-looking and can read and write. Even if she is not a young lady, she is well-educated!Embroidery work, tea and food are all grasped, don't you think he is not good enough for him? !
"It's getting late, so I won't send my second uncle off any more!" Gu Chuhan said with a smile.
Xie Yuanzhi left feeling depressed.
"It's obviously a good thing, but it doesn't look like it's going to be bad!" Gu Shilang was not happy.
"I don't expect to be as good as them! But when outsiders say it, they will say that we will repay us with gratitude!" Mrs. Gu sighed.
After packing up, the grandparents and grandchildren couldn't eat enough for dinner, and they were full after eating noodles and fish.
After several companies took action and started setting up stalls, the government also posted reward notices.Praise Gu Chuhan for making rice transplanters and threshers for his contribution to the common people. He has made great contributions and rewarded a farm ox.
When Gu Chuhan went to the county government office, he heard the magistrate He's praise in public. Amidst the applause and congratulations of the crowd, he took the cow home.
"Now our family has horses and cows! This year we don't need to borrow cows to plow the land, and we don't need people to pull the plow!" Mrs. Gu was very happy from the bottom of her heart, with tears in her eyes.
The Gu Chuhan siblings went to the grave to burn paper for Mrs. Xie, and told her all the good things about the family, and also told the old man Gu, the ancestor of the Gu family, who had passed away for many years.
Just after returning home, Gu Erer and Lian Shi came over to borrow money.
"Our family is the poorest of all the families. Even if you teach us, we don't have the capital to set up a stall! Just lend us a few taels of silver first! We will pay back when we earn!"
Gu Chuhan handed it directly to Gu Shilang, "Settling the score!"
Gu Shilang took out a pen and paper, "The noodle fish stall only needs one table, and I have it at home, and it doesn't cost money. I have flour at home, with rice noodles and starch, and you can make a dish for another three hundred yuan. Come in a hundred bowls. Red oil and seasoning cost less than [-] yuan. You can sell them for money and buy them again. It was the same when I was a child. The rough porcelain bowls are only a few yuan each, and the spoons are cheaper. Thirty sets are worth [-] yuan. Wen. Two sets of tables and stools, old ones are fine. The total cost is about one tael of silver, even if the laying is larger and the work is done more, it will cost less than two taels of silver. "
"Your family doesn't have two taels of silver. Where did Gu Wulang go to school? Where does the family often eat meat?" Gu Chuhan asked coolly.
"My family only has that little money, and it's almost gone! You put it into the account every day, and even rewarded 300 taels. It's not that there is money!" Lian said.
Mrs. Gu said angrily, "Who dares to try the idea of that money?! It's to save the third child, so don't let anyone else think about it!"
Lian Shi was startled, and his face gradually turned black and green.
Gu Laoer looked at it and said hurriedly, "Mother! We don't want to borrow that money! Mother sets up a stall and earns money every day, so lend us a few taels of silver as the capital!"
"No!" Mrs. Gu refused directly.
Gu Shilang said from the side, "In order to present the recipe to the palace, Brother Cheng discussed with Brother Jiu, and gave that eunuch a lot of money! Our family is almost done now!"
Seeing that the loan would not work, Gu Laoer's eyes flashed, and he said his real purpose, "Then the production factory also has your family's share? I don't know how much it earns! You must not be short of money! Just our family I don’t have a serious job, and I don’t have any money! Goro is good at studying, and I don’t want to delay him. I want to keep him studying, and I will also take the test of merit in the future! Don’t worry, Goro is sensible and kind. If you want to help, I will definitely help each other with your brothers Help! Tell me, let me go to the manufacturing factory! It’s nothing to do, I’ll be a small steward in such a big manufacturing factory, so there’s someone in our family watching over there!”
"To work in a factory?" Gu Chuhan smiled.
(End of this chapter)
Huang Shengfan's words were heard by Li Jiazhu, who worked in their town, and he told Granny Li when he returned, "What are you talking about? I met Ran Niang, and it was said that it was not good for my daughter, so I gave you something to make up for it! What are you talking about? People in that area are saying that in order to get rich, the aunt’s family asked the daughter to come out to meet the male guest! They eat so much food! Now I’m looking for a poor carpenter, and I’m waiting to live in poverty and regret it later. die!"
Mrs. Li was even more annoyed when she heard that, "What kind of bear is this! If you don't get along well, you will lose your reputation! Doesn't Chunxiu know this kind of moral corruption? How dare you tell Niang Ran!?"
Now there is work in the field, weeding, manure collection and top dressing.It's too hot to sell sugar, oil and fruit. They are all the scum of Mrs. Li. Let Li Daniu and Li Erlang sell them in the county.Mrs. Li tends the crops at home.Hearing this, she asked Li Da Niu to rest at home for a day. She went to Baihe County, found Mrs. Gu, and told her about it, "Don't turn around and ruin Niang Ran's reputation!"
"Damn bastard!" Gu Chuhan dropped the rag and wanted to find someone.
Mrs. Gu also turned blue with anger, and hurriedly pulled her back, "That kind of scum, the more you talk to him, the more they will smear your second sister!"
"Could it be that he should be allowed to ruin Second Sister's reputation outside?!" Gu Chuhan was almost suffocated recently!
Mrs. Li also felt that this matter was done too carelessly, "When we met each other, how can we tell him to see Niang Ran?"
Mrs. Gu's face turned ugly for a long time, "Jiulang didn't like it at the time, and didn't let me say anything more. She and Shiro went to your house with the threshing machine, but the second one went to Chunxiu to matchmaker and didn't say anything. Chunxiu didn't like it, so she asked Ran Niang to come out and deliver tea, so he could see it!"
"This Chunxiu is real! This kind of person has found out about him, and he doesn't even talk about it! Even if the family is rich, it's not good for people!" Mrs. Li blamed the niece of her natal family.No matter what, no matter rich or poor, you have to say that you have a good character!
Mrs. Gu pursed her lips and looked down for a long time, she was also angry, and looked at Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang, "You two are not allowed to go! If you really want to find out, if you get involved, there will be even worse things to say! They said they let them Go ahead! When your second sister is engaged, if you find a poor carpenter and don't look for them, then someone with brains will think about it, it's their fault!"
"That's right! I'd rather find poor carpenters than them, that's their fault!" Mrs. Li also nodded sullenly.
Gu Chuhan could only scold his mother a few words, and endured it.
But the He family took action. When Cui went back to her mother's house, she listened to it, and immediately turned back, "Yes! Our family is poor! No one wants to find a poor carpenter from my family. I don’t know what’s wrong! I’ve got something wrong, and I’m still talking about others! If a blind date doesn’t work, it’s bad for someone, and you want to put gold on your face. Who wants to get married with such a person?”
The few people who were discussing were stopped by her and scattered in all directions.
Cui was so angry that she suspected when she got home that Gu Raniang must have been with Huang Shengfan for taking so many things from Huang Shengfan, otherwise where did she get them?
He Mugen heard her guessing and complaining, and told her not to talk nonsense, "They sent things because they wanted to marry the daughter of the Gu family, which means that the daughter of the Gu family is good! The Gu family doesn't want to be relatives with him, that's their problem! It's really good, can the Gu family Don't want to? Still see us?"
Cui was right when she heard it, "That's it!"
He Mugen urged her to buy the dowry as soon as possible, "The two marriages are settled, and nothing they say will work!"
Cui couldn't help asking again, "I've seen the daughter of the Gu family, and she didn't say she was like a fairy, so why does the Huang family have to rely on her!?"
"You don't look good, do you?" He Mugen said directly.
These words pleased Mrs. Cui, thinking of her son, who is handsome and handsome, he can be counted in every family, and happily prepared the dowry.
The matchmaker also went to Gu's house again to ask Mrs. Gu if she had any requirements for the bride price.
This trip is a courtesy, Mrs. Gu said with a smile that she didn't ask for it, "Our family has never held such a happy event, and we don't understand it. Their family can do it as they see fit!"
The matchmaker also wanted to make a show of this matter, and said that Gu Chuhan met He Jingzhi when he was poisoned, and he carried Gu Chuhan to the doctor. virtuous.
The conversation was hot, and I asked what the Gu family's plans were in the future.Although the Gu family said that they didn't have much land, it would cost a lot of money to build the courtyard.And sworn brothers with the magistrate, so he won't just set up a stall in the future.
Mrs. Gu also understood that she was thinking of something so that the dowry could be made depending on the situation. After thinking about it, she said, "The court's decree hasn't come down yet, let's wait for the decree to come and see."
"Oh! It's a great honor to get the court's will! Your Jiulang is really amazing! I didn't use the threshing machine, but I used the rice transplanter! A rice transplanter, did two things. What about the work of the three of you! It is really convenient for the common people!" The matchmaker was envious and praised, and seeing Mrs. Gu also smiled with pride, and followed the words, "Is this Jiulang not young? I don't know who's in the future. My daughter is so lucky!"
What she said was the truth.Gu Jia Jiulang is so handsome and well-groomed, and he even made that thresher. He is so capable at such a young age, I really don't know what kind of wife he will marry in the future!
Mrs. Gu smiled a little guilty, "Jiulang is still young! Study for a few years first! Study for a few years!"
The matchmaker boasted for a long time, and returned to the He family with the words, and told the He family everything he said.
Cui pursed her lips while listening, "I've already done these things, compared to those others, it's already a lot of ostentation, do you want to buy more?"
The matchmaker hurriedly said, "I didn't say I want it, but Kua Jingzhi is a good boy, and I'm very satisfied! Take as much or as little as you like, no objection!"
He Mugen looked at it and said, "Then buy another gold hairpin or bracelet!"
Cui took a deep breath, "That would cost several taels of silver..."
"Some of the work I do here can be collected!" He Mugen said.
Cui was dissatisfied, they were not only Da Lang, but also Xiao Lang!How much money is enough for this?
When I went to the goldware shop, I found that gold jewelry was too expensive. The Canadian ones cost more than a dozen taels of silver. Her family couldn’t afford it, so I bought a flower hairpin inlaid with silver and jade. It was distressing to spend more than three taels It's incredible.
He Mugen saw that the money for the flowers was almost the same, so he didn't say anything.
When the auspicious day came, Gu Chuhan and Mrs. Gu didn't leave the stall and waited at home.
Mrs. Wang and Gu Laowu didn't leave the stall either, and stayed at home to help with the reception.
Mrs. Sun, Mr. Gu, Mr. Lian, Mr. Gu, and Mr. Gu also came over.
Lian walked around a lot, looked at the new courtyard of Sanfang, and panicked in her heart, pulled Sun to speak in a low voice, "It's strange that they don't want to find a poor carpenter if they don't want one son in the family. Yes! I said before that I want to find someone who is rich and good-looking!"
Sun smiled and didn't respond, and asked her, "Have you settled on the marriage of Xianniang?"
"My Xianniang looks good and is a nice person, but she is dragged down! I didn't expect that the youngest of them got engaged first!" Lian was very angry when she mentioned this.
Sun Hui comforted her, "Niang Ran wants to keep her filial piety, and the engagement is just to make an appointment first! On the other hand, Niang, you can get married if you are engaged!"
Lian pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, "Wait and see what kind of bride price this poor carpenter's family can get!" They definitely want it!But if I found a poor carpenter, even if I wanted it, he couldn't get it out!Besides, there are still two sons, so I won't give them both!
From time to time, people hired by the He family came, He Mugen and Cui Shi, He Jingzhi, the matchmaker, and even invited an uncle, sister-in-law and aunt to support the scene.
Gu Chuhan specially made the fruit tea, put mint in it, and hung it in the well in advance to chill it.I bought a dim sum plate in the county again, fried two plates of sugar oil fruit, deep-fried wontons, baked small Huangqiao sesame cakes, and placed small bamboo sticks.
As soon as they met, the two parties greeted each other with a smile, and entered the room modestly, pouring tea and serving snacks.
It was the first time for Cui to come here, and he looked around the room, landscape paintings, antique racks, books and porcelain placed on them, incense burner on the side table, two vases at both ends, all filled with flowers.The eight kinds of snacks on the table are also pleasing to eat, and the smile on the face is even more satisfied.
Mrs. Wang poured tea, greeted Mrs. Cui and the matchmaker, and the two women who came together had tea and snacks and talked.
Sun smiled and praised Gu Ranniang over and over again, "I was a good child when I was young! Not to mention how handsome he is, he can be counted in ten miles! As far as this character is concerned, there is no such virtuous, gentle, and capable person! "
Lien ran over to see the dowry gifts, chicken, fish, meat, wine, wedding cakes, clothes, materials and jewellery, plus a gift money.The things seem to be so strange, and the gift money is only five taels of silver!The jewelry is also not good, silver hairpins and silver bracelets, but the earrings are big, so what's the use of silver pieces?After looking around, Lian couldn't help laughing.If they are willing, the Huang family will definitely be able to double it several times!
Mrs. Gu is not dissatisfied, these things are already very good, and the families in the village are not well-off, so they are much worse.
When handing over, He Jingzhi looked a little puzzled.Mother also bought a silver inlaid jade flower hairpin?
Cui Shi was not willing to wear it on herself.It's already spent a dozen or so. Who in the countryside marry a daughter-in-law like this?Seeing her son's questioning eyes, Cui felt a little guilty, but she was still tense, joking with Mrs. Gu and Sun.
Suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes outside, and he walked in quickly with a swipe of ink, "Mr. Gu!?"
Gu Chuhan heard the sound of waving ink, and came out, "Waving ink? What happened?"
Swiping ink to see so many people in the family, he went up to greet her, then bowed his hands to Mrs. Gu, and replied, "Young master Gu! The imperial court has come to order! Young master wants to help with the rice transplanter and thresher, let's go!" No, let the slaves report to Mr. Gu! The imperial court promised Mr. Gu and his brothers to take part in the scientific examination in the future! There is also a reward of 300 taels of silver! Regarding the matter of Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu said that we will wait until Mr. Gu arrives in Fucheng to receive the reward. discuss!"
Gu Chuhan had already expected it, and nodded, "I see, I'll trouble you to run for a while! To receive the reward, I'll go tomorrow when my second sister is engaged!"
"This is what a slave should do! This slave is here to pick up Mr. Gu!" Hui Mo responded.
Both Mrs. Gu and Gu Shilang came out in a hurry. They heard that they would reward 300 taels of silver, and they also promised that the younger brother of the third house would take the scientific examination in the future.Even though Mrs. Gu was disappointed, she still cheered up. After thanking her with a smile, she beckoned Hua Mo to the wing to rest and drink tea.
Gu Shilang asked if he hadn't eaten yet, so he hurriedly prepared two plates of dim sum and biscuits along with tea and brought them to him.
There was an explosion in the main room here, "It is a great honor to receive a reward from the imperial court! No one of us has received a reward from the imperial court!"
"What a double happiness! Double happiness!"
Mrs. Cui took a few breaths, 300 taels of silver, so much silver in one fell swoop!She was thankful that she was reluctant to part with the flower hairpin but she still wore it on her body, and told the matchmaker that her future mother-in-law would put hairpins on her future daughter-in-law.
The matchmaker understood immediately, she was going to have hairpins, and laughed.
After talking for a while, the matchmaker asked Gu Raniang to come out and see her.
This is already engaged, and it is right to come out to meet the future in-laws for a gift.Gu Raniang changed into a jade-white embroidered blue flower flag dress that was awarded to her by the Red Yu, combed her hair twice, piled with silver pieces of gauze hairpins, and thick-soled plain shoes, making her taller, more elegant and dignified.
Seeing her coming out like this, He Jingzhi's eyes were glued to her body, and he walked every step and inch, his eyes were bewildered.
Mrs. Cui was also very satisfied, and took Gu Ranniang's hand when she came up, "This girl is really good! Our family has also accumulated blessings in the previous life, and we can marry such a good girl as Ranniang as a wife!"
Others should also praise.
Then Cui said, "Your mother's filial piety has not passed yet. Although it is a happy event, I have considered and considered the purchase! Although this flower hairpin is a bit plain, it is a good omen to wear it with silver inlaid jade! It is also a good omen when you are young. Little girl! I'll put it on for you!" Take out the silver inlaid jade flower hairpin and put it on Gu Raniang's head.
Gu Raniang lowered her head, blushed, and slightly bowed her knees to thank her.
"Oh! Wearing it like this, our mother Ran is more elegant and dignified, and looks better!" The matchmaker began to take the lead in boasting.
Seeing that Gu Raniang's face was blushing, Mrs. Wang pulled her out with a smile and asked her to go back to the room.
The bride's family doesn't care about food, after speaking, the ceremony is over, after the Geng Tie, it is officially settled, and then they leave.
After seeing off the guests, the rest of the Gu family didn't leave, and stayed in the third room to talk about the reward of the thresher.
Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er both said they wanted to accompany Gu Chuhan to receive the reward, but they didn't want to give in to each other.
But Sun thought that Sanfang's son would be able to take the scientific examination in the future, and Gu Jiulang and Gu Shilang were studying again. After winning this award, they must study hard to prepare for the scientific examination in the future.Then this business of setting up a stall must be taken over by someone!
Lien has already said, "I got 300 taels of silver in one fell swoop, and you are no longer short of money! Maybe you should go to study hard to catch the exam! But there is no time to set up a stall!? At this time, you still have money to buy!" Don't share with us? Everyone else's family has got a good fortune, but our family's kindness is not kindness, right?"
Speaking of this, I stopped talking.
Mrs. Gu didn't think that 300 taels of silver was too much, where did this little money go?Go and deal with those high-ranking officials, I'm afraid they won't be able to send them in, and the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate may even look down on the gatekeepers!How can you save the third child! ?
Gu Chuhan did not have much time, but she was unwilling to ask her to hand over the stall to them!And people from the Xie family will also come to talk about it when the time comes!
Having said that, Boss Gu has something to say, "In the future, when Jiulang and Juro study, they have to take the test of merit, so we can't rely on my Dalang? Whenever something happens, it is our Dalang who runs it! This time, the thresher is also owned by our Dalang. The credit for Lang’s running away! Among the four households, he took the most money from our family, and Da Lang paid filial piety when he came back, so mother never thought of us!? What’s so good that you can’t think of me?”
Lian was not convinced, "I can't think of anything good about your family? Didn't Dalang help me to meet the magistrate before he took the exam for a scholar!? Our family has nothing! No one can think of us!"
"Isn't your daughter working in the embroidery workshop!?" Elder Gu yelled at her angrily.
"That's my daughter's embroidery work! She is so good that the proprietress let me in! How can you help us!? Our family is the poorest with a few houses. If you need something, you can find our house. When will you be there?" It’s a good thing to think of our family!? If it’s not our family this time, I’m not finished!” Lian also yelled angrily.
Mrs. Wang frowned, "Today is the day of Ranniang's engagement, and it is a great thing that the court has rewarded her. Can you argue first!" The more you argue, the more mad mother-in-law and Jiulang will be!
Mrs. Sun also gave Boss Gu a look, and hurriedly responded with a smile, "It's already noon, let's cook and eat quickly! Let's pass this happy event! Let's talk about other things after Jiulang receives the reward!"
Seeing that Mrs. Gu's face was very ugly, she didn't say much.
Mrs. Wang and Gu Laowu said goodbye first and went home.
Mrs. Sun saw that Mrs. Gu didn't intend to keep food, so she also told Boss Gu to leave.
Seeing that they were all gone, Lian Shi wanted to say something more, but was called home by Gu Er Er.
"Grandma, don't be angry with them! Our family is getting better and better, they can only envy and hate!" Gu Shilang came over to persuade.
"Today, our family has double happiness. Your second sister made a good marriage, and our family got rewards and money. I'm not angry!" Mrs. Gu took a few breaths.
Gu Raniang also came to persuade, "But our family can take the science test, so we really have to think about what to do in the future!"
Gu Chuhan waved his hand, "Make a big lunch at noon! Get a few dishes, order sweet wine chilled, let's talk after eating!"
Mrs. Gu also felt that since it was a happy event, she had to rejoice, "Okay! Cook some good dishes!"
Several people started cooking together, cooked a piece of fish, boiled white meat, braised eggplant, scrambled eggs and two green vegetables, and a fermented egg drop soup.
Looking at it with a swipe of ink, I secretly thought that this family really knows how to live and eat.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Gu divided the wedding cakes into pieces and chopped up the meat, and asked Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang to go to the village to make friends, and several of the Gu family's own family gave them away.Meat is only sent to those who have a good relationship with the eldest, second, fourth and fifth families.
"Let's keep the chickens at home first! Raise them until the [-]th day of the eighth month and eat them!"
The four are all red roosters, and they won't lay eggs if they are raised. Gu Chuhan asked Ming'er to take them all to the county town, "One for my aunt's house, one for my aunt's house!"
"Alright!" Mrs. Gu replied, so I won't buy another one.
Lian Shi carried a catty of meat, and snorted, "Take a few dozen catties of meat, just chop us off! Keep those things for yourself to eat!"
"It wasn't much at first!" Gu Er Er said to her.
Lian looked at the things and felt really shabby, and felt that it was a pity that the Huang family's marriage failed. After thinking about it, she thought of her daughter, and said to Gu Laoer, "Let's go to Chunxiu and say Let’s see if you can talk it over with Xianniang?”
"Chunxiu doesn't even want to say it, can it be done?" Gu Laoer frowned, hopelessly.
Lien's face pulled back, "I can't say that! Xianniang wants to look good, and she wants to be skilled! What's worse!? Besides, Sanfang received a reward from the court, so why don't we borrow it!? It hurts us I didn’t say anything good about it!”
Thinking of this, Gu Laoer also became more confident, "Then talk to Chunxiu? But it's not good if we don't get along with Ran Niang!"
"If you want to talk about this, how can you trap a good family!" Lian Shi is also angry, but because of anger, he can't let the good family go and let the girl find a poor one.Thinking of this, he was filled with resentment, "If it's a reward, it should belong to our family! Bad things are supported by us, and good things are all eaten by them!"
Gu Lao Er also felt resentful, but the thresher was not something they reached out to make, and the rewards were all down, so what can they do?The boss was afraid that he wanted this reward more than anyone else, and he didn't even make sense of it!
Boss Gu made up his mind to go to Fucheng with him.
Gu Laoer also stared.
The next day, I got up before dawn, came directly to call the door, and just stared at it.
Mrs. Gu was also worried that something might happen to Gu Chuhan, so she didn't refuse, and let the two go with her.
Gu Chuhan asked Mrs. Li to help first, and she took Gu Shilang along with her, "Go out too, let's see!"
"Okay! Don't worry at home!" Mrs. Gu responded.
The four of them followed Hui Mo into the carriage and drove all the way to Fucheng.
On the way, Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er seized the opportunity to talk about rewards and stalls.
Gu Chuhan just pouted back and ignored him, leaned back in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing her disgust, he was also afraid of offending her, so Boss Gu didn't say any more, thinking that when he got to the place, let the eldest son talk about it, and then he would definitely be able to say it!
Gu Laoer saw that he didn't say much, and he didn't say much.
When they arrived in Fucheng, Cheng Yi was already waiting, "Jiulang!"
"Brother!" Gu Chuhan greeted him with cupped hands.
Gu Shilang also bowed his hands in salute, looking at Cheng Yi with gratitude in his eyes. Although 300 taels of silver cannot save father, it is a reward from the court, which is different!Their family has passed the scientific examination, and with Brother Nine's intelligence and contribution, he will definitely pass the examination!
Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er also rushed to say hello.
Cheng Yi brought a few people to the government office, "Wash and rest first, let's talk after dinner!"
Gu Chuhan declined, "I came here with my eldest uncle and second uncle, and I agreed before that I will live with my eldest brother!"
Cheng Yi saw a few of them, and it was not easy to arrange for the censor to live in the government office, so he nodded regretfully, "Okay! Let's eat first!"
I brought a few people to order Ximian and had a meal.Cheng Yi called Gu Chuhan aside, "That's why I asked you to come here. Since this Eunuch Li is able to deliver the decree, he is the one who can deliver the message! You can be bought!"
Almost poor and empty, the reward is only the 300 taels of Gu Chuhan who is about to fly before he gets it: ...
Cheng Yi looked at her and laughed, "You don't have to worry about the money, although I don't have any, but Junfeng has plenty of it! Pick him up a bit in advance! Just tell you, see how much is suitable! Then Li My father-in-law likes to eat tiger skin wontons, so I will offer the recipe later! Let him go back so we can pass the word!"
"Then... put in 300 taels! I also offered the recipe for Huangqiao Shaobing!" Gu Chuhan said weakly.
Cheng Yi laughed heartily, and couldn't help but pat her on the head, "Okay! Just 300 taels! That's enough!"
Gu Chuhan felt that his heart was dripping with blood. 300 taels!
When the two came out again, Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er asked suspiciously, "What did you say? Is there anything else?"
"Talk about some private matters!" Cheng Yi said, and led him to see the court censor and decree officer.
As soon as Boss Gu heard this, he pulled Gu Chuhan, "You don't understand anything when you see the officials of the imperial court. Let's go and see you after calling your elder brother over!"
Gu Chu coldly stared at him, "The court officials belong to your family, so you can see them as you please?"
Boss Gu's face suddenly turned ugly.
Gu Lao Er said from the side, "Brother! This matter cannot be delayed! It is an honor for us to meet with you! Isn't it? Jiulang!" He also asked Gu Chuhan for approval.
Gu Chuhan glanced at the two of them, then quickly followed Cheng Yi.
Receiving the reward is also simple, the official directly announced the will of the current emperor to Gu Chuhan, and then gave her 300 taels of silver, which was also registered by the government.
Gu Chuhan saw that it was different from receiving the imperial decree in the TV series, so he pursed his lips secretly, but still expressed his gratitude respectfully.Looking at the three big silver ingots on the tray, it seemed that there was a hatred.The reward is in her hands, not hers!It won't work if it's warm for a while!
Fan Yushi looked at Gu Chuhan as a child, and asked that he was only 12 years old. He couldn't believe that she made the rice transplanter and thresher, "Can this thresher remove wheat seeds and rice?"
Since he asked, Gu Chuhan explained to him the working principle of the thresher, "If you talk about dewatering rice, because when the early rice is harvested, the ears of rice are ripe, but the stems are still green and wet, but the effect is not as good as that of threshing wheat. It will be skinned, and it needs to be peeled again. The late rice can be harvested a few days later, and the situation will be much better."
Before meeting Fan Yushi, she worked in the Ministry of Industry and was responsible for this area, so she couldn't help but test her.
The operating principle of the machine was nothing to Gu Chuhan. He not only answered the questions fluently, but also subtly mentioned a few things that were difficult for Fan Yushi.If you don't believe her and feel that she is cheating, then let him think about it for himself!
"Is this Gu Chuhan really only 12 years old?" Fan Yushi couldn't help asking Cheng Ju.
Cheng Ju was also a little confused when he heard it just now, and nodded for sure, "It's only 12 years old!" He didn't believe it at first, but his son knew it, but he couldn't make rice transplanters and sewing machines!
Fan Yushi's eyes changed when he looked at Gu Chuhan again.
Cheng Yi looked at it, and immediately invited him to the production factory, "We don't know much about some things, we know one thing but don't know the other, why don't you go and have a look and let Chu Han explain it to you!?"
Originally, he had no intention of doing so, but looking at Gu Chuhan, Fan Yushi nodded.
Cheng Yi also invited Eunuch Li, the messenger, "Eunuch doesn't know, not only the tiger skin ravioli, but also the Huangqiao biscuits, which were all made by my foster brother. Now that he's here, he can also let Eunuch taste it." Try that Huangqiao biscuit! If my father-in-law likes it... then it will be our honor!"
Wen Xian knew the elegant meaning, and Eunuch Li immediately understood that if he wanted to bring back the tiger skin ravioli and the Huangqiao pancake recipe, he would not have made the trip in vain. ! When I came to Xiangyang Mansion, my mouth was also stained!"
Seeing that he understood, Cheng Yi also laughed.
The letter was sent to Yan Junfeng in advance, and he was already waiting.
Threshers and sewing machines did not establish separate workshops, but were directly combined to form Yan's Manufacturing Factory.
Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er also went to the production factory together, seeing such a large film, they were all envious.If Gu Jiulang really did this, then wouldn't he also have the money in it! ?How much do you earn! ?The two thought at the same time and looked at each other.
Gu Chuhan followed Fan Yushi and Eunuch Li to an unformed threshing machine, and stretched out his hand to install it while explaining it.
Seeing her completely handy posture, Fan Yushi nodded.Those who don't know how to do this will definitely not be able to pretend.
Going to the sewing machine again, there is more to talk about. Gu Chuhan only briefly explained the operating principle of the sewing machine, and then focused on explaining the function and operation of the force between the bearing and the bearing. "This principle is interlinked and can be applied to other sewing machines. Get on the machine!"
"Oh? What machines can be used?" Fan Yushi asked.
Gu Chuhan saw that he was really curious, so he laughed, "The thresher is used! There are other things, and printing is also acceptable. Although there is no research on the wooden cattle and horses that Kong Ming used to transport grain and grass, if there is, it must have used this aspect The role of principle and force!"
"Printing? You said printing is also possible?" Fan Yushi was surprised.
Gu Chuhan nodded, "Yes! But I have never seen a printing machine, but I can also imagine that it is possible to make a printing machine by using the operation of bearing gears, which is similar to the theory of a sewing machine!"
Fan Yushi had seen the printing machine before, but it was completely different from what she said. He didn't ask about the sewing machine right away, but asked her about the printing machine instead.
Yan Junfeng, who followed behind, looked at Cheng Yi inquiringly: Why is there another printing press?
Cheng Yi shook his head, he didn't know either.But seeing Gu Chuhan's confident and calm smile, and what he explained to Fan Yushi seemed to be hand-crafted, the little people seemed to have light on their bodies, and that vibration felt inexplicably in their hearts.
Yan Junfeng also looked at Gu Chuhan, feeling that she was not just not simple anymore.He had never heard of these things!How did Gu Chuhan, a child of a rural farm family, know this?His eyes fell on Gu Shilang.
Gu Shilang is not stupid, he listened to his question, and said directly, "After my mother passed away, my ninth brother broke his leg and lay on the bed and couldn't move, and then he became enlightened!"
"Opened the divine aperture?" Yan Junfeng wanted to laugh a little. Could it be that such a thing really happened?
Gu Shilang stopped talking to them.Brother Nine said, everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty!Whoever has a baby will be charged!He can't say more!
Gu Chuhan didn't care about this, and failed to save Gu Lingshan.Now that the imperial court sends someone here, if she doesn't catch her, it will be difficult to say when the next time is!Don't wait for her to finally open a way to save Gu Lingshan, he has already been tortured and abused to death!
The printing machine talked for a long time, and Fan Yushi couldn't understand it.But seeing that Gu Chuhan had never seen a printing machine, he also said that she couldn't make it, so he had to let her go, took the working principle diagram of the sewing machine, and planned to take it away from the Ministry of Construction for research.
Gu Chuhan drew the drawings in great detail and annotated them in small print.
Fan Yushi saw that her handwriting was really not very good, so he smiled and pointed her a few words, "Practicing good handwriting is not only decent, but also very useful for scientific examinations!"
Gu Chuhan hurriedly thanked him, "My little one started school at an early age, but there was an accident at home. My father was exiled because of wounding someone to death, my mother hanged herself, and my little brother never went to school again. I also set up a small stall with my grandma this year. Fortunately, I was helped by my righteous brother, so the younger one and my younger brother went to school again!"
"Is there such a thing? Tell me!" Fan Yushi asked.Before, I knew that the Gu family was a crime in the family, and the children who were strangled were not allowed to participate in the scientific examination, but when they ran into it, they still asked.
Gu Chuhan reported the matter truthfully.
Cheng Zhifu also explained, "Because of the law, murder pays for life. Although Wang Ergou died on the tenth day after being hacked, Gu Lingshan could not escape the punishment of the law. After reporting it, he was sentenced to exile for three thousand miles in the Western Region."
Fan Yushi nodded, expressing his understanding of the matter, and told Gu Chuhan to let her practice calligraphy and study hard.
Gu Chuhan respectfully agreed.
Gu Shilang also cupped his hands and responded respectfully.Looking forward to it in my heart, this official asked Brother Jiu so much, and even took away the blueprints, can he help their family to ask the present saint to let dad go! ?
Coming out of the factory, Cheng Zhifu accompanied him to dinner.
Gu Chuhan washed his hands and went into the kitchen.
"Is it easy to make biscuits without a stove?" Cheng Yi also followed.
"No problem! That stove just makes the biscuits more delicious, and this general stove for baking biscuits can also do it!" Gu Chuhan responded, woke up with the noodles, picked several kinds of fillings, and made small Huangqiao biscuits. Grill on.
Cheng Yi asked her about the printing press, "Did you just remember it? I'll take you there to see the printing press when I turn around! We can catch the ones we can now!"
Gu Chuhan glanced at him, then went to turn over the charcoal fire, "I don't dare to be too radical now!" She wanted to save Gu Lingshan, but she had to guarantee her family first.All the young and old depended on her!
Cheng Yi froze for a moment, frowned and nodded, "Then spend more money, and I'll have someone watch over there in the capital. If the imperial court makes a printing press, as long as someone sends a message saying that you deserve the credit, the Holy Majesty will have it." Possible pardon!"
"Hmm! I thought so too!" Gu Chuhan smiled.
Not only Eunuch Li likes Huangqiao sesame seed cakes, but also Fan Yushi likes them very much.
After the meal, Gu Chuhan came over with two prescriptions and three bank notes to greet Eunuch Li.
Seeing the gift, Gu Chuhan stuffed the silver ticket into his sleeve, and Gu Chuhan smiled, "These two snacks in my family are delicious, although there are many people, but they are a bit difficult to be elegant, all thanks to the father-in-law's guidance!"
"Oh! This child is really sensible!" Eunuch Li patted her hand, smiling brightly, "I have tasted that biscuit, it is crispy and sweet on the outside, soft and delicious on the inside, and the filling is still tender and delicious, but This is the best sesame seed cake I have ever eaten! I believe nobles will like it too!"
This is a promise to present two prescriptions.
Gu Chuhan accompanied him and said nice things again, "The little one won't disturb the father-in-law's rest! The little one will leave!"
"Wait a minute!" Eunuch Li called her to stop, and took out a thumb-sized opal to reward her, "Look at you, you are sensible and capable, I also like you, Eunuch! Here is this little thing for you Take it and play!"
When Gu Chuhan saw it, he quickly accepted it overjoyed, thanked him again and again, and then withdrew.
Eunuch Li felt a little regretful holding the three bank notes, "He is handsome, capable, and has a good mouth. It would be great if he could enter the palace!" But he was just thinking about it. The merits of this machine, as long as it is not too bad, it is not too difficult to get a fame and glory!Definitely won't enter the palace either!How pitiful as he is, the family is poor and has no food, so sell him into the palace as a eunuch!
Thinking of his pitiful experience, he sighed again and put away the cash, "I can only count on these things!"
Gu Chuhan also counted on the energy value of this silver flower.
Although the 300 taels of silver were gone, Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang had no complaints.
"Ninth brother! Do you think that Eunuch Li can help our family talk?" Gu Shilang couldn't sleep.
"Yes! They just collect money and things to do things!" Gu Chuhan answered him.
Gu Shilang breathed a sigh of relief, "I hope it will be useful this time, and I can let dad go! Even if I don't let go... don't let dad be so far away, at least let dad change to someone closer!"
"Let's look at the situation first! Let's work hard!" Gu Chuhan told him to go to bed early.
The two of them slowly fell asleep.
Gu Dalang's rented small courtyard was packed, and Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er were huddled together with Gu Sanlang, talking and discussing rewards and merits.
Meng Shi also hoped that her husband and son-in-law would be successful, so she felt proud, but if her father-in-law asked her to persuade her, she dared not tell Gu Dalang.The threshing machine Xianggong didn't participate in the work, so he was unwilling to let him share the credit!He also helped to find a way to save the third uncle!
An uneasy night passed.
Just after breakfast, people from the production factory came to invite Gu Chuhan, saying that he would go to the production factory to give some advice.
Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er listened, packed up and followed.Boss Gu even called Gu Dalang, "You go too!"
"Yesterday, I received the prefect, the censor, and the herald! The production factory does not allow outsiders to enter!" The steward who received them directly stopped them.
Seeing their ugly faces, Gu Dalang also said, "This is not the rule of the Yan family, it is also the rule of the government! Dad! If I don't go to school today, I will take you and my second uncle around the city! Jiulang and he If you are busy, let him do it! When you are done, I will see you off!"
After Gu Chuhan greeted him, he took Gu Shilang and got into the steward's car.
Soaked in the factory for two days, while instructing and maintaining those threshers and sewing machines, I also took the opportunity to teach Gu Shilang.Although she does not agree with the cramming-style teaching, it is a rare opportunity, and it is worth remembering more.
Gu Shilang also knew that the opportunity was not easy, so he worked hard.
Eunuch Li's mission was completed and he was about to return to Beijing to return to his order. Fan Yushi also returned to Beijing with the working diagram of the printing press.
Gu Chuhan followed the county magistrate He who rushed over, and a group of people came out to see him off.
Boss Gu failed to speak a few times, so don't be too angry.
Gu Laoer turned his head and smiled, "Jiulang! It's not safe for you to hold the reward of 300 taels of silver! If you don't let me go, I'll take it for you! Don't worry, I will give it to your grandma as soon as I get home! "
"That's not necessary! There is a bank, and you can use it anytime you go! Baihe County also has it!" Gu Chuhan refused.
Cheng Yi looked at it and asked her to stay for a few more days, "I will also pay my respects to Master. You and Shiro will study in Fucheng from now on! After all, Master is better educated in Fucheng. After studying hard for a few years, you will get a good grade in the exam!"
"This matter can't be said, my mother's filial piety period has not yet passed!" Gu Chuhan smiled and did not agree.
Cheng Yi saw that he couldn't say anything, so he raised his hand angrily, and patted her twice, "You really want to piss me off!"
Gu Chuhan smiled and pretended to hold his head, turned around and saw Mrs. Cheng, looked at her from a distance, and raised the corners of his mouth, "I've been very busy these two days, and I haven't gone to say hello to Mrs. Cheng yet!"
Cheng Yi took her and Gu Shilang there.
Mrs. Cheng was watching her chatting and joking with Cheng Yi, her face turned blue with anger, but when she saw her approaching this way, she immediately got worried and became afraid again.
With a smile on the corner of Gu Chuhan's mouth, he looked at her with cold eyes and cupped his hands, "Mrs. Cheng!"
Mrs. Cheng was stared at by her cold eyes, and her whole body was stiff. She pulled it twice before she smiled, "Are you leaving? I'll ask Nanny Tang to seal Yicheng for you!"
Yicheng didn't say anything last time.
When Cheng Yi said this, he also thought of something, "Jiulang! I'll get you a broken carriage! You guys drive away when you go back!"
Gu Chuhan looked at him, "The carriage?"
Cheng Yi smiled, "I made the car, but the horse is made by the factory! You deserve it!" Then he said, "I'll let someone drive the carriage over first!"
Gu Chuhan looked at Gu Shilang with anticipation and excitement, "You go and see first?"
Gu Shilang couldn't help but nodded, and followed Cheng Yi.
Only Gu Chuhan and Mrs. Cheng were left, followed by Madam Tang.
Tang Momo looked at Gu Chuhan warily, "Gu Jiulang! You don't know why you got poisoned or where you got poisoned, but it was definitely not my wife who gave you the poison! You don't even want to falsely accuse our wife! Your reward today Glory, it was our young master and adults who helped your family!"
Gu Chuhan cast a gloomy glance at her, looked at Mrs. Cheng and smiled, "False accusation? I don't know that Cheng Yi had to do this. Does he also think it is a false accusation? Let Cheng Ju know that he also thinks it is a false accusation? Let the general public You know, and you all think it's a false accusation?"
"You..." Mrs. Cheng's face turned blue.
Gu Chu coldly snorted, "Madam magistrate, poisoning people's lives, you don't trust your own son, but you poisoned me! Rewards and honors? Then do you think, without my rice transplanter and thresher, the Cheng family would have rewarded you! ?”
"I didn't poison you! I never thought of harming anyone!" Mrs. Cheng looked at her sad face and forced herself to be calm.
Gu Chuhan sneered, "You really think I dare not? I didn't poke it out, and I didn't tell Cheng Yi, but it was because Cheng Yi was a righteous brother! If he knew that his mother was so vicious, you, my mother, might be It's going to be scrapped!"
"Don't be too presumptuous!" Madam Tang yelled angrily, but she didn't dare to speak loudly for fear of attracting people.
Gu Chuhan looked deeply at Mrs. Cheng, "If this kind of thing happens again, no matter whether Cheng Yi is my righteous brother or not, I will let your Cheng family be buried with me!"
Seeing her leave directly after the harsh words, Mrs. Cheng trembled with anger and her face turned pale.
Tang Momo supported her, and comforted her in a low voice, "He just doubted randomly! He didn't dare to do anything! He was alive and kicking, and no one would believe it!"
It took a while for Mrs. Cheng to calm down.
The carriage over there is indeed not new, but it doesn't look like it has been used for a long time. The wood is very thick and strong, and the horse is also a strong red horse.
Gu Chuhan smiled and said, "This is a big gift, it will be hot to accept!"
"As you said, the chief engineer of the production factory doesn't even have this thing, so I'm poor!" Yan Junfeng also came over and said with a smile.
After saying this, Gu Chuhan accepted it bluntly, "Charge it all to my account! I will write it off later!"
"It's a congratulatory gift!" Yan Junfeng didn't take it seriously.He wants to know about printing presses!
Gu Chuhan thought for a while, gave him a copy of the blueprint, and asked him to study it by himself compared with the old printing machine, "If you can develop a printing machine by yourself, the name of the manufacturer will be really famous!"
"The Gu family really has a genius! They are so well versed in business management!" Yan Junfeng seemed to understand Cheng Yi's kindness to him.
"Congratulations! Congratulations! I don't dare to be a genius, but a talent is still outstanding!" Gu Chuhan laughed.
Several people laughed.
Gu Chuhan took the opportunity to say goodbye.
With the carriage, Gu Chuhan drove the carriage home directly.
"The county magistrate is also in Fucheng, and he has to go back. We should follow the county magistrate! It's safe on this journey!" Gu Laoer looked at the magistrate He and said to Gu Chuhan.
Gu Chuhan was not interested, "Magistrate He still has official business, so he won't be with us!" He drove the car and walked away.
After following him for a while, he didn't get any benefit, so he ate two meals, and Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er were full of anger.
Mrs. Gu, Gu Raniang, Gu Ruoniang, and Mrs. Li were all very happy, "I didn't expect to get a carriage!"
Both Li Erlang and Li Xiaolang were so curious that they reached out to touch it.
The horse was quite docile, and Cheng Yi picked it on purpose. Not only Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er tried to drive the car, but even Gu Shilang drove a long way outside.
Hong Yu knew that she wanted to invite her to her home for dinner.I also want to mention the marriage, Gu Raniang's marriage is settled, and next to Jiulang is next!
Gu Chuhan said a few words politely, saying that it was another day, and picked up Mrs. Gu and Gu Raniang, and Mrs. Li rushed home.
Gu's second child leaned in front of Mrs. Gu, "Mother! This is a happy event! Do you want to celebrate!?"
"I'm already happy!" This matter is paving the way for celebration, so I can't find the north!
He didn't even celebrate, Gu Er Er suddenly felt very boring, didn't get anything, and went home angrily with the burden.
After they all left, Gu Chuhan left Mrs. Li, grandson and grandson at home to discuss the wonton stall and Huangqiao Shaobing.
Mrs. Li saw that she wanted to learn how to set up a stall and sell money for herself. Although she also wanted to make more money, make the family feel better, and send her grandson to study, she still shook her head, "If I teach it, I should teach it to your uncle's family." Let's go! Although your uncle is a little bit generous, your uncle's mother is still easy. Dalang is studying and has passed the exam. He is also a benevolent person. If he teaches their family, he will help you more in the future! My family has that candy Oily fruit! I only sell less in hot weather, and when the weather cools down, they will sell quickly! I can also make a lot of money!"
She has already persuaded Mrs. Gu, "After a few children, there must be someone to help! Even if there is something wrong with their family, they are better than others! Don't they still have to save Ling Shan!?"
Mrs. Gu also hesitated, "Teaching them is not so easy to teach!"
"You guys just listen to me! At least Dalang is benevolent and righteous, and he and Jiulang will help each other in the future!" Mrs. Li persuaded.
Gu Chuhan frowned, he really didn't want to, especially when he thought of Gu Yishan's posture and style, he was not sure that it wouldn't get worse if he gave it to him.
But thinking of Gu Dalang, she couldn't help but sigh again.Taking the exam also needs money!Relying on Meng's embroidery work, family subsidies, and Gu Dalang copying books for others, these are barely tight.If you go to Beijing to catch the exam in the future, you will definitely travel poorly!
In the end, the family and Mrs. Li discussed it and decided to teach Dafang the same Huangqiao biscuits.
"There will definitely be trouble in the second room!" Gu Shilang curled his lips, and she could make trouble even in the upper beam, and now she will definitely make trouble if she gets the chance.
"And the Xie family!" Gu Raniang frowned.
Gu Chuhan's face darkened, "Accordingly, the only way is to teach them all!"
Tiger skin wontons need a sense of mystery, and the same is true for Huangqiao biscuits.
"You can't teach them all! We just presented the prescriptions, but the bottom ones are all good, so what's the matter?" Mrs. Gu said with a sullen face.
She wants to save her son wholeheartedly, whoever bumps into her will definitely hate him!
"Teach them something special! Anyone who wants to learn can come!" Gu Chuhan thought about it, and he didn't teach tiger skin wonton or Huangqiao biscuits.
Gu Shilang's eyes lit up immediately, "What are you teaching? Brother Nine!"
"Just eat the fish!" Gu Chuhan replied to him.
"What noodle fish? Steamed noodle fish?" Several people were curious.
Gu Chuhan talked about the recipe for the fish below. She just ate it, so she guessed it was made like that, "Cook it in advance, put it in cold water, whoever wants to buy it, take a bowl with a colander, top it with red oil, hot and sour seasoning and chopped green onion Coriander, cool and delicious, better than cold noodles!"
After listening to it, I want people to try it.
"Then give it a try first? Do you think it will work?" Mrs. Gu also didn't want to teach the tiger skin wonton and Huangqiao biscuit to the public. If these two recipes are presented, they will become the food of the palace, and they can't be sold indiscriminately. Sometimes it was their family who annoyed the boss!
Gu Chuhan found the colander at home, first stirred the batter, flour, rice flour and starch, mixed with vegetable leaf juice, and made a few bowls of green noodle fish in a short time.
Topped with red oil, hot and sour seasoning, one bowl per person.
"How about a taste!" Gu Chuhan picked up a bowl first.
Several people held bowls, picked up spoons, and started eating.
The taste is hot and sour and delicious, and the noodle fish is chewy and refreshing. I couldn't help nodding, "Delicious!"
"This is cool and refreshing. It's delicious!" Li Erlang picked up a bowl in the blink of an eye.
Mrs. Li also praised, "Jiulang is so smart! This must be a good seller!"
When the news got out, Gu's family and Xie's family could learn how to sell, and everyone crowded into Gu's third room, chattering and discussing non-stop.
"Anyone who doesn't want to learn, or who has other things, you can go out! I don't have much time, so I only teach once!" Gu Chuhan looked around like a star.Several companies looked bad.
Boss Gu's face is long and dark, he just taught me how to make noodles, and he still pulls so many people, who can sell it for money! ?
Seeing so many people, Lian also scolded over and over again in his heart because he was not teaching tiger skin wontons and Huangqiao biscuits.If you earn money by yourself and get soft hands, you are not even willing to teach them a wonton!
Xie Yuanzhi didn't say he didn't want to learn, but he kept asking about rewards.
Xie Gaozhi was full of anger, "When something good happened, I never thought of my uncle's house! It's all accidents, and I took the money and found us! One wonton, you don't teach how to make pancakes, how can you teach me noodle fish!? "
Seeing that someone was making trouble, Lian couldn't help but say, "The reward is 300 taels of silver! You are not short of that money, and you still insist on not teaching! You have to teach me a noodle fish, What can you do!? You didn’t think of us when you borrowed kindness, but it’s as if we owe you your family!”
Mrs. Gu shouted angrily, "Get out if you don't want to learn!"
"Am I wrong? Why don't you teach tiger skin wontons and Huangqiao biscuits?! The daughters of the old five family and the Xie family have already learned it! Why don't you teach us!?" Lian opened his mouth and nodded.
"What did you say at the beginning, is there anyone who doesn't know? If you have to force me to learn, why don't you think about our family? I only think about myself, not others, who would miss you!?" Mrs. Gu said angrily.
Gu Chuhan pointed to the gate, "I have given the recipes of tiger skin ravioli and Huangqiao biscuits to Eunuch Li in the palace, and no one will teach them! If it becomes a tribute, we will not sell it again! Noodle fish I also want everyone to earn some change to subsidize the family, and anyone who doesn't want to, can go out immediately!"
Seeing that Xie Gaozhi still wanted to talk, Gu Chu coldly glanced at him and said again, "I don't need to be kind enough to teach you how to make money, I also need to listen to your lectures based on your face! Anyone of you who thinks you are capable can come up and have a discussion with me !"
Xie Yuanzhi held Xie Gaozhi to stop him from saying more, "It's the same if you can learn the same thing! Brother, don't talk nonsense if you don't want to. If everyone can't learn it, how many people will hate you!"
Mrs. Zhao didn't let Xie Gaozhi say any more, and said with a smile, "That's what you said! Jiulang can think about our family, this is good-hearted! What kind of noodle fish is he? How did you do it!?" Hurry up Open the topic.
Gu Chuhan looked at Xie Gaozhi, saw that he pulled his face and stopped bluffing, and then swept towards Lian Shi.
Gu Laoer smiled and pulled Lian Shi back, "Let's learn! Let's learn!"
The atmosphere became harmonious on the surface, and Mrs. Gu also got busy, teaching everyone how to make noodle fish.
It was simple, but it took a while to teach everyone.
"This noodle fish looks simple, but it tastes refreshing and delicious. The most important thing is the taste and ingredients of the noodle fish. Only by making it delicious can it sell more! As for how to manage it, it depends on one's ability! Our family Make room, or stop selling tiger skin wontons and sesame seed cakes, and sell noodle fish! Let’s see which one of us cooks better and sells more! You can try each other, and then try mine !" Gu Chuhan said in a deep voice.
Several families tried each other's food, but the taste was not as good as that made by Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu taught it again, emphasizing the proportion of flour, the degree of cooking, the time of soaking in water, and the ratio of ingredients again, so that they can remember them all.
Several families finished their studies, and they all dispersed.
Xie Yuanzhi lagged behind, asked about Gu Raniang's engagement, and said that Xie Siniang was not young anymore.
This hint is obvious enough.Xie Yuanzhi wanted to find a wealthy family for his daughter, but it was not easy.This nephew is handsome and capable, and if he develops in the future, his future should not be bad!
He also inquired about the reward, "Now that the sage allows you to take the scientific examination, you are going to study, right? Then the magistrate also got the reward, did you say anything about your scientific examination achievements?" If you can get a fame, After that, if a girl marries him, she must be a rich wife, not an official wife!If this is the case, then it is better to let the girl marry him!
"I haven't studied for a long time. In the past few years, I should settle down to study and prepare for the exam!" Gu Chuhan directly pushed the words away.
Seeing what she said, Xie Yuanzhi made it clearer, "After your second sister gets married, she should be next to you, right?"
"I haven't thought about it yet! Let's see it in a few years! It's not too late for a boy to get married after he's [-] or [-] years old! First test his merits, and then save my father!" Gu Chuhan also pushed it more clearly.
Xie Yuanzhi heard some voice-over, and felt a little displeased.His daughter is good-looking and can read and write. Even if she is not a young lady, she is well-educated!Embroidery work, tea and food are all grasped, don't you think he is not good enough for him? !
"It's getting late, so I won't send my second uncle off any more!" Gu Chuhan said with a smile.
Xie Yuanzhi left feeling depressed.
"It's obviously a good thing, but it doesn't look like it's going to be bad!" Gu Shilang was not happy.
"I don't expect to be as good as them! But when outsiders say it, they will say that we will repay us with gratitude!" Mrs. Gu sighed.
After packing up, the grandparents and grandchildren couldn't eat enough for dinner, and they were full after eating noodles and fish.
After several companies took action and started setting up stalls, the government also posted reward notices.Praise Gu Chuhan for making rice transplanters and threshers for his contribution to the common people. He has made great contributions and rewarded a farm ox.
When Gu Chuhan went to the county government office, he heard the magistrate He's praise in public. Amidst the applause and congratulations of the crowd, he took the cow home.
"Now our family has horses and cows! This year we don't need to borrow cows to plow the land, and we don't need people to pull the plow!" Mrs. Gu was very happy from the bottom of her heart, with tears in her eyes.
The Gu Chuhan siblings went to the grave to burn paper for Mrs. Xie, and told her all the good things about the family, and also told the old man Gu, the ancestor of the Gu family, who had passed away for many years.
Just after returning home, Gu Erer and Lian Shi came over to borrow money.
"Our family is the poorest of all the families. Even if you teach us, we don't have the capital to set up a stall! Just lend us a few taels of silver first! We will pay back when we earn!"
Gu Chuhan handed it directly to Gu Shilang, "Settling the score!"
Gu Shilang took out a pen and paper, "The noodle fish stall only needs one table, and I have it at home, and it doesn't cost money. I have flour at home, with rice noodles and starch, and you can make a dish for another three hundred yuan. Come in a hundred bowls. Red oil and seasoning cost less than [-] yuan. You can sell them for money and buy them again. It was the same when I was a child. The rough porcelain bowls are only a few yuan each, and the spoons are cheaper. Thirty sets are worth [-] yuan. Wen. Two sets of tables and stools, old ones are fine. The total cost is about one tael of silver, even if the laying is larger and the work is done more, it will cost less than two taels of silver. "
"Your family doesn't have two taels of silver. Where did Gu Wulang go to school? Where does the family often eat meat?" Gu Chuhan asked coolly.
"My family only has that little money, and it's almost gone! You put it into the account every day, and even rewarded 300 taels. It's not that there is money!" Lian said.
Mrs. Gu said angrily, "Who dares to try the idea of that money?! It's to save the third child, so don't let anyone else think about it!"
Lian Shi was startled, and his face gradually turned black and green.
Gu Laoer looked at it and said hurriedly, "Mother! We don't want to borrow that money! Mother sets up a stall and earns money every day, so lend us a few taels of silver as the capital!"
"No!" Mrs. Gu refused directly.
Gu Shilang said from the side, "In order to present the recipe to the palace, Brother Cheng discussed with Brother Jiu, and gave that eunuch a lot of money! Our family is almost done now!"
Seeing that the loan would not work, Gu Laoer's eyes flashed, and he said his real purpose, "Then the production factory also has your family's share? I don't know how much it earns! You must not be short of money! Just our family I don’t have a serious job, and I don’t have any money! Goro is good at studying, and I don’t want to delay him. I want to keep him studying, and I will also take the test of merit in the future! Don’t worry, Goro is sensible and kind. If you want to help, I will definitely help each other with your brothers Help! Tell me, let me go to the manufacturing factory! It’s nothing to do, I’ll be a small steward in such a big manufacturing factory, so there’s someone in our family watching over there!”
"To work in a factory?" Gu Chuhan smiled.
