The worst time travel, surviving seven years of famine

After hearing what Gu Liang said, the old man smiled and stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "This is all thanks to you. I heard from your second aunt that you came up with the method of making ice jelly, and you also told your second aunt how to please the yamen runners on the construction site and let us do light work. Grandson, you have helped a lot. God has eyes, my old Gu family's ancestral tomb is burning red, so that I can have such a good grandson..."

The old man Gu became more and more excited, making Gu Liang embarrassed to speak. He thought to himself that he only proposed two methods. Is it necessary for his grandfather to be so exaggerated? If he leads his family through the famine in the future, wouldn't the old man Gu have to worship his grandson?

Old Man Gu took a sip of rice wine and said comfortably: "If it weren't for the method you proposed, I might have died of exhaustion in Jiangzhou. You don't know that King Ying wanted us to do the work of two people, not to have enough food, to have porridge for every meal, and to help them work at night. It wasn't until your second aunt came that we felt better and suffered less.

Old woman, help me get the bag I brought back, I have to praise my grandson."

When Gu Liang's mother Chen heard that her father-in-law was going to take the bag he brought back, she hurriedly advised: "Dad, you drank too much and are drunk. As your grandson, Gu Liang should be filial to you. He is still young and doesn't need this."

Gu Liang was confused by what Old Man Gu and Chen said. What bag, what praise, what not to use this, he didn't understand what was going on at all.

At this time, while untying his bag, Old Man Gu explained: "Your second aunt used your recipe for ice jelly and made a lot of money. Before we went home, she gave us half of the money we made and asked us to take it home. Since you came up with this recipe, you should have half."

After that, Old Man Gu threw the money bag in the innermost part of his bag from the table to Gu Liang.

The money bag fell on the table, and there was only a dull sound. Gu Liang thought: "Good guy, this sound is so dull, it doesn't sound like copper coins, could it be?"

The fact is just as Gu Liang expected, the money bag did not contain copper coins, but broken silver. Gu Liang never thought that this mere ice jelly could make so much money, and how many bowls of ice jelly could be sold with so much money.

"Here are thirteen taels of silver, all of which belong to you. I hope you don't spend it carelessly. Maybe you can keep it for marrying a wife in the future." At this time, Old Man Gu's face was red because of drinking, and he spoke much slower than normal.

Chen felt very bad at this time. She thought that a child like Gu Liang didn't need so much money, so she quickly persuaded Old Man Gu to take it back.

Old Man Gu was so angry at this time that he interrupted Chen and warned her: "Daughter-in-law, this money was earned by Gu Liang's method, so you should give it to him. I tell you, as long as he doesn't spend it recklessly, you are not allowed to take it back. Do you understand?"

Chen was naturally not as stubborn as her father-in-law, so she quickly sought help from Old Lady Gu, but Old Lady Gu felt that what Old Man Gu said made sense, and recently Gu Liang and Gu Boxi made more and more money from collecting herbs. The family is not short of money now, so this money will be regarded as a reward for the eldest grandson.

After receiving the words of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Chen had nothing to say anymore. It would not be good to refuse more. She warned Gu Liang not to spend money recklessly and let it go.

In this way, Gu Liang now has a full 40 taels of silver, which is already a "huge sum" for Gu Liang. Although it is not as good as other novels, the protagonist can earn hundreds or thousands of taels right away.

Just when the Gu family thought that Li would wait until the weather turned cooler or the construction site was finished before returning, Li and Gu Changan came back in a few days.

At noon that day, the Gu family was having lunch, and suddenly heard a noise outside. At first, they thought it was a passerby. But the sound was not right, not like a passerby, the sound kept ringing, and the big bear passing by would basically bark a few times, but today it was silent.

Old Mrs. Gu took the rice bowl and went out to see what was going on, and then she found that Gu Changan and his wife were carrying large and small bags to move home one by one!

When Old Mrs. Gu saw that it was the two of them, she hurriedly called the family inside to help move together. The Gu family was also confused. Didn’t Li say before that the ice jelly business should be carried out at least until autumn, so how could he come back in just a few days?

Old Mrs. Gu asked Li what was going on, why did he come back suddenly, what happened?

Li was ashamed, but she kept hesitating and didn't dare to say anything.

She ate first. It was hard to travel all the way, and there was no hot food.

At the table, Mrs. Gu turned around and asked Gu Changan. It was difficult for Li, a woman, to say anything, but what was there for him, a man, to say?

Gu Changan also embarrassedly told the whole story, and everyone knew what happened.

It turned out that two days after Old Man Gu and his friends left, Li and his friends were still doing business normally. But who would have thought that one day their small stall suddenly lost business. They didn't quite understand why they suddenly lost business, so they went to ask around.

It didn't matter if they asked around. They learned that there were people selling ice jelly on the other side of the construction site. They sold it cheaper than them. They sold it for four cents a bowl, and the opposite side sold it for three cents a bowl. Li was puzzled. This ice jelly was obviously invented by her nephew Gu Liang, and she didn't even tell her family, so how could someone else know this.

But after asking around, the ice jelly sold by that person was exactly the same as theirs, and people who had eaten from both families said there was no difference. This is really strange. Li really didn't tell anyone that she had run out of ice jelly seeds recently, so she had to ask local children to help her buy goat milk fruit. Logically, not many people would care, and since she bought goat milk fruit, no one would guess that she was using the seeds inside.

So the couple went to the opposite side to look for it when no one was out of the construction site that day, but found nothing. This happened several times in a row. Someone clearly said that another ice jelly seller was setting up a stall here, but every time they came to look for it, there was no trace, as if the opposite side deliberately avoided them.

Until the next day, Li didn't set up a stall directly, dressed up and secretly went to find out what was going on. As a result, the stall really appeared and shouted loudly, "Ice jelly for sale~~Cold ice jelly, only three cents a bowl now, come and eat it"

After Li found out, she covered her face with a headscarf and sneaked over, ready to see which great god was so powerful that he could figure out the method of making ice jelly.

It didn't matter that Li found out that she actually knew the person at the stall. It was...
