Chapter 248: Want to open a shop

Chapter 248: Opening a shop

During this period, Gu Dexing also made a scene. He knelt down and begged Gu Dafu for a day and a night. He also took out the letter written by Shang Xiucai and said that he was going to study in a private school in the town. After ten years of study, he would definitely get a good name. , going to Songzigou to study was a mistake for his future.

Gu Dafu did not agree. It was said that the town was prosperous and there were many wealthy families, so he was afraid that if he went to study in the town, his mind would become more impetuous, so he was asked to go to Songzigou to study for a year or two first. If his character is suppressed and calm, then send him to a private school in the town.

Because of this matter, Gu Dexing has been keeping a straight face for the past few days. He even miscalculated the accounts the night before. When he counted the money, he found that the money was less. Did everyone think that the money was lost?

 Fortunately, Gu Jinan was here and calculated the accounts again, so the matter was settled. Otherwise, the money would have to be paid by Gu Dafu's family.

 …

 Gu Jinli’s family.

 Gu Daya heard what the third grandmother scolded Chen, and thought of her eldest brother's tofu and spice business, and asked uneasily: "Are your brothers and sisters worried about us?"

"Don't pay attention to her. She is just like this. She is afraid that her family will suffer a loss, so she is too busy." The third grandma poured oil into the pot, then poured the chopped chicken into the pot, and started to stir-fry until the chicken was cooked. After it changes color, take the sauce prepared by Gu Jinli, pour it into the pot, stir-fry for a while, pour in water, cover the pot and simmer.

Gu Daya was still very worried, fearing that her family would bring trouble to her eldest brother's family, but she did not dare to make a sad face, fearing that everyone would feel uncomfortable. When she heard what the third grandma said, she smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Don’t worry, I won’t think too much.”

“That’s right.” The third grandmother quickly took out a piece of cabbage and said, “Let’s make a dumpling stuffed with cabbage and meat.”

Qi Kangle and Gu Jinxiu were rolling out dumpling wrappers, and Gu Jinli was making croquettes. After everyone was busy, they finally made more than a dozen sumptuous dishes.

“Let’s eat!” Third Grandma shouted, leading Ms. Cui and others to carry the food to the main room.

Because there were so many people, two tables were put together to form one table.

Gu Daya looked at the large table full of dishes, mostly meat dishes, with red circles in her eyes.

It’s not that her family has never eaten good food, but those exquisite dishes were all given to them by the master after they had eaten them. They were delicious, but they felt uncomfortable after eating them.

Now that they are home, the table they are eating is specially cooked for them by the third grandma, not leftovers from other people’s meals.

“Don’t be stunned, hurry up and eat.” The third grandmother urged: “In a few days, several families will come to the house to settle the accounts, and we have to eat quickly.”

When Gu Daya's family heard this, they hurriedly ate, fearing that if they ate too slowly, they would miss the business of other families.

The third grandma kept picking up vegetables for them. Two chickens and four chicken drumsticks were all given to Gu Daya's family. There were no chicken legs on Qi's plate, and the third grandmother still hated him and didn't put any for him.

We had a late dinner today, and everyone was very hungry. There was a gust of wind, and soon we were full.

Third Grandma said: "Don't stop using your chopsticks. Eat all the meat and vegetables. Don't be afraid if you are full."

Gu Daya's family couldn't help but displease the third grandma, so they obediently ate all the meat and vegetables on the table.

　　After they finished eating and rested for a while, several families came to the door, all bringing gifts. One family brought some cloth, another some tables and stools, another family brought two lamps, and the other family brought some food.

"This quilt is new. It has not been used at home. Erlang Sanlang went to the military station again. It is no longer needed. Let's give it to my eldest niece's family." Mr. Qin brought in the unused thin quilt at home.

Gu Daya looked at the things sent by several families and felt very embarrassed. She refused and didn't want to accept them, but was stopped by Third Grandpa: "Take them, our family came all the way to escape from the famine, and we lived life and death together, and we love each other." It’s not an ordinary share. If I give it to you, just take it. If anything happens to the other families in the future, you can just help me.”

“Hey, okay, then we’ll take it.” Gu Daya said, and he and a few children took the things and piled them in the main room.

Mrs. Chen couldn't wait any longer and said, "Let's settle the daily accounts quickly, divide the money, and then talk about the affairs of Sister Da Ya's family." Gu Dagui glared at her: "You are the only one who talks too much."

Ms. Chen rolled her eyes at him and found a stool to sit on.

"Okay, Brother Xing, let's settle the accounts." Third Grandpa said, and Gu Dexing began to settle the accounts. Third Grandma went back to the house, took out the money earned from setting up the stall today, poured it on the table, and asked for it later. Counting money.

With a crash, all the copper coins and bits of silver were poured out. When Gu Daya's family saw this, they were stunned for a while, then quickly got up, carried Qi Kangping, and walked out of the main room to avoid it.

 This is a family business, and her family has no share, so it’s not easy to stay there.

Gu Jinli did not stay with them and let them sit in the courtyard first.

 Mrs. Chen was very proud to see Gu Daya's family going out. It seemed that Xiaoyu didn't want Gu Daya's family to buy shares and share their dividends.

Two-quarters of an hour later, Gu Dexing finished the calculation and reported to everyone: "Today, the white tofu and seasonings at home made a net profit of twenty-four taels, and the tofu stall in the town made a net profit of eleven taels, for a total net profit of thirty-five taels." , after deducting the reserved principal of five taels of silver, our family can divide thirty taels."

After Gu Dexing finished reporting the accounts, several family members looked at Gu Jinan: "Brother An, are the numbers correct?"

Gu Dexing was a little unhappy, but he made a miscalculation the night before, and it was understandable that several families didn't trust him.

Gu Jinan smiled and nodded: "The number is correct."

 “That’s good, let’s divide the money quickly.” Mrs. Chen rubbed her hands and stared at the pile of money on the table.

The third grandma was upset when she saw Chen's miserly behavior: "Hurry up and give her some points. This kind of virtue has not improved at all for a long time."

Mrs. Chen chuckled and let her third grandma scold her. Why didn’t she make any progress? She has grown a lot, and now she has a lot of private money buried in her house.

 Not long after, Gu Dexing divided the money among several families.

 Chen said again: "Xiaoyu, your aunt and her family are here, what are the arrangements for the future? What do you want to do for a living? Please tell us all quickly."

 If she didn't say anything else, her heart would be scratched to death.

Gu Jinli raised his eyebrows, glanced at Mrs. Chen, and said with a smile: "Since your aunt is so concerned about the future livelihood of my aunt and her family, I will tell you about it."

 “Speak quickly!” Mrs. Chen shouted in her heart, God bless Xiaoyu, please don’t let Gu Daya’s family become a shareholder and do business with them in tofu and seasonings.

The more people buy shares, the less money they can share among their families.

Gu Jinli looked at Mrs. Chen's extremely anxious look and gave her an extremely bright smile: "Don't worry, Auntie, my aunt's family will not do the tofu and spice business with us, and will not share everyone's dividends. Your money , not even a copper penny is less.”

Mrs. Chen was embarrassed and said with a smile: "You kid, what are you talking about? That's not what your noble aunt means. I'm just worried that Sister Da Ya's family will not be able to make a living in the future, so I'm asking."

Gu Jinli gave her a look that said, "Who believes what you said?"

After a while, she said: "My uncle used to be a salesman and did business in the streets. My second cousin is also smart. I thought about lending money to my aunt's family to open a shop and do business."

"What? Opening a shop for business?!" Ms. Chen shouted, feeling extremely sad. They were all still setting up a stall, but Xiaoyu actually wanted to lend money to Gu Daya's family to open a shop.
