Chapter 256: Shopkeeper Zeng’s end

Chapter 256 The End of Shopkeeper Zeng

Gu Jinli chuckled: "In other words, in order to go find a shop with us, you specifically asked Gu Dexing and Gu Dewang to take leave and go home to prepare spices."

 Sure enough, this is very Chen.

The smile on Mrs. Chen's face froze, and she quickly smiled again: "Why do you ask them to ask for leave? Isn't it because they are too tired from school, and I want them to relax for a long time. How about studying every day, what if they become stupid? "

Finding a shop is a big deal. She is the future shopkeeper of the shop. If she doesn't follow them to find a shop, what if San Bo, Xiao Yu and others are deceived?

Grandpa San looked at Mr. Chen, shook his head and said, "Go if you want."

"Hey, thank you, Third Uncle." Mrs. Chen was happy and glanced at Gu Jinli proudly.

Gu Jinli gave her a big look and said, "You can go, but you can't talk nonsense. If you talk nonsense and mess up the matter, don't blame me for being rude!"

As she spoke, she moved her wrist and took out a dagger, shaking it at Chen.

Mrs. Chen was so frightened that she took a few steps back and said with a stiff smile: "Look at what you said, when has your noble aunt ever messed up things?"

Gu Jinli was too lazy to fight with her and said directly: "If you mess up the matter by talking nonsense, your family's dividends will be deducted when the money is divided at the end of April."

Mr. Chen loves money. When he heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Why should I deduct dividends from my family?"

Gu Jinli grinned at her and said, "I made the spices."

 Ms. Chen was choked and had no choice but to nod in agreement: "Yes."

Gu Jinli saw that she was honest, so he gave up.

 “Let’s go!” Luo’s father shouted, pulling the cart and leaving Gu’s workshop.

Uncle Tian was pushing the cart behind.

Gu Jinli and Luo Huiniang were carrying dry firewood.

Mrs. Chu and Aunt Tian were each carrying spices and the other was carrying a load of bean dregs. Ms. Chen twisted her waist and followed behind, pretending to be a noble person.

Gu Jinli rolled his eyes to the sky and said to Mrs. Chu: "Ms. Robo, this place is still far from the town. You first give the burden to the noble aunt, and you take a rest first. When she is tired, you can take over. .”

Chen's face turned green, and she said to Gu Jinli, "I have new clothes, and I still have to wear them to meet people."

 Gu Jinli gave her a bright smile that you could figure out.

Ms. Chen was angry, but she could only take over Mrs. Chu's burden and said, "Sister-in-law Luo, I'll pick it up. You have a rest first."

　In order to go to the shop, she endured it!

Gu Jinli sympathized with Mrs. Chen. They just went to ask where there was a shop in town today. They couldn't find anything by just asking. But Mrs. Chen thought they were going to buy a shop today. She didn't know what she was thinking. She probably was. It’s crazy to want to be the shopkeeper’s wife.

Mr. Chu did not refuse and gave the burden to Mrs. Chen.

The group of people hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly arrived at the stall in the town at the end of the morning.

The tofu stall was already crowded with customers. When he saw them coming, a man with a pole and a long rope on his shoulders complained: "Brother Luo, why are you here? I've been waiting for a long time. Hurry up, give me ten For two golden bean cakes, add more oil, four of them need spicy food, and the other eight don’t.”

Other guests also complained: "Yes, you should hurry up, we are here early in the morning to wait."

"Hey, don't worry, don't worry, I'll do it for you." Mrs. Chu said, and she and Aunt Tian began to move the things from the cart quickly.

Luo's father and Uncle Tian pulled the cart and ran to Xuanhufang to pick up the stove, iron plates, and other things stored in Xuanhufang. The guests were afraid that they would not be able to buy tofu and bean dregs cakes, so they all shouted: "Give me ten golden bean cakes."

 “I’d like four portions of pan-fried five-spice tofu.”

 “One load of white tofu, one load of white tofu and ten pounds of seasonings!”

These customers also come from other food shops, and they come here specifically to buy white tofu and seasonings.

“We at Fuguilou also need a load of white tofu and ten pounds of seasonings!”

Gu Jinli heard the word "Fugui Building" and looked at the person who spoke. He saw that it was Chef Li who was slightly fat and panting even when he spoke. He was accompanied by two guys in short brown clothes, sleeves on their hands, and rags hanging on their shoulders.

Chef Li also saw her and greeted her with a smile: "Little girl from the Gu family, you are here to set up a stall. I haven't seen you for a long time. I thought you wouldn't come to set up a stall."

Gu Jinli has not forgotten his feud with Fuguilou. He did not talk to Chef Li, but said to the guests: "Everyone, please line up first, and we will start selling in a while."

 The customers knew the rules of the Gujia tofu stall and lined up immediately.

When Chef Li saw that Gu Jinli ignored him, he was not angry, but said to her with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zeng made a mistake two days ago. Last night, my wife sent someone to take his whole family to Zhuangzi. Once you get to work, you won’t be in Qingfu Town anymore.”

Gu Jinli was stunned. Shopkeeper Zeng was no longer the shopkeeper at Fugui Building, and it was Mrs. Zou who sent him to farm in the village. Chef Li even came to tell her about it.

  What does the Zou family want to do?

When Grandpa San heard this, he also looked at Chef Li.

Chef Li squeezed over and said to the third grandfather: "Madam appreciates it, Lao Li will be the shopkeeper of Fugui Building from now on. I'm sorry for what happened before. I hope you guys won't blame me and continue to sell tofu and spices." Give us Fugui Tower.”

Because of Shopkeeper Zeng's incident, the Gu's tofu stall was very wary of their Fu Gui Lou. Every time Fu Gui Lou came to buy white tofu and seasonings, he would take out a booklet and ask them to put their thumbprints, telling them to be conceited and follow them. They have nothing to do with tofu stalls.

If they don’t press their fingerprints, Gu’s tofu stall will not sell tofu and seasonings to them.

Shopkeeper Zeng also thought about buying things from the Gu family, and then poisoning the tofu and seasonings, and then killing someone else, killing the Gu family.

After all, there are so many disaster victims nowadays, and one tael of silver can buy one person, and it will be fine if a lot of people, or even an entire family, die.

But Mrs. Zou disagreed, so she scolded shopkeeper Zeng, and said to Zou Xiancheng: "Sir, although tofu and spices are profitable, are they what our Zou family lacks? Now is the key. At this time, we can’t harm the Zou family’s foundation just because a few families have fled.”

"As long as we hold on to the position of county magistrate and take good care of the newly arrived county magistrate, our Zou family will be able to prosper for hundreds of years. Are you afraid that we won't be able to deal with those families who are fleeing the famine?"

In more than half a year, the term of the Tianfu County magistrate will be up. I heard that he will be transferred. After this magistrate leaves, a new one will be transferred.

It is precisely because of this that the current county magistrate does not pay much attention to the secret fighting between the Jiang family and the Zou family, and just wants to spend his term in office peacefully.

“Besides, the Jiang family is not stupid. They are in charge of cases in the county. How can they not see such a frame-up method? Master, we can’t fall for Zeng Da’s trick and harm the entire Zou family.”

Zou County Magistrate has recently acquired several good maidservants, all of whom were arranged by Mrs. Zou. What Mrs. Zou said was indeed reasonable. After thinking about it, she agreed.

Mrs. Zou immediately took action against Shopkeeper Zeng, drove him away, and let Chef Li take over the Fugui Building.
