Chapter 589: It’s hard to eat when you see someone who is so hungry

 Xia family.

Mr. Xia saw Brother Cheng running into the study yard with a jar in his arms. He immediately ran over and took the jar from his hand. After realizing that it was very heavy, he scolded the boy who was following him: "You are Is he dead? I saw Brother Cheng holding such a heavy thing and didn’t know how to help."

 What are you raising them for?

The young man did not dare to feel any grievance, and only explained respectfully: "Replying to the master, I originally wanted to help you get it, but the young master of the Gu family refused to let it go, saying that this was something for the husband, and he wanted to take it as a gift himself. gentlemen."

Mr. Xia laughed when he heard this. He knelt down and looked at Brother Cheng and said, "Brother Cheng is interested. What is this?"

 Brother Cheng smiled proudly: "My second sister made the soy sauce. It tastes very good, almost like minced rice sauce."

Mr. Xia was fine with the first half of the sentence, but was shocked when he heard the second half: "What did Brother Cheng say? The taste of this soy sauce is similar to that of fermented soy sauce? What is the soy sauce made of?"

 Brother Cheng: “Soy beans.”

 Soybeans!

Mr. Xia felt dizzy... Why is the fresh glutinous rice paste so expensive? It's because it's made from meat, but this soy sauce, which tastes similar to soy sauce, is actually made from soybeans.

 The cost of a cheap thing costing three cents per catty is ten times that of meat worth tens of cents per catty.

If soy sauce could be produced on a large scale and sold across Dachu, Mr. Xia simply couldn't imagine the profits.

He was pacing back and forth, scratching his head. He had many questions to ask, but he didn't know where to ask them. Moreover, Brother Cheng only said it was made with soybeans. If he asked more questions, he would stop talking.

 The little guy covered his mouth and said: "This is the second sister's thing. You can't tell the husband too much. Don't tell me."

Mr.

 “Try this, madam.” He poured out half a cup of soy sauce and handed it to Mrs. Xia.

Mrs.

Mr. Xia said: "It's not fresh glutinous rice sauce, it's soy sauce made from soybeans."

"Soy sauce? Made from soybeans!" Mrs. Xia was shocked and hurriedly asked Mr. Xia: "What's going on with this soy sauce? Tell me quickly."

Mr. Xia told everything he knew: "Brother Cheng only knows so much. I will ask Brother An again when he comes to pick him up."

Then he said: "This is a good thing. Thirteen hundred years ago, the Zhongyuan clan made fresh glutinous rice sauce, so it has been passed down to this day. Although the recipe of fresh glutinous rice sauce has been known by most of the powerful, when it comes to fresh glutinous rice sauce, Who wouldn’t praise the Zong family and say that it belongs to the Zong family? If soy sauce can be passed down in the name of the Lu family, it will not be difficult for the Lu family to revive!"

Mr. Xia was very excited, but...

"Guanzhu Hu said in his last letter that since our people despise the Cui family for being ruined by a farmer, despise the Gu family for being of rural origin, and are unwilling to help the Gu family too much, we shouldn't be jealous of what the Gu family does. "After Mrs. Xia was scolded by Guanzhu Hu, she became more awake and reminded Mr. Xia.

After hearing this, Mr. Xia became even more anxious. He thought for a moment and came up with an idea: "If the Gu family takes the initiative to give us the soy sauce, it will not be considered a robbery, and Guanzhu Hu and the others cannot blame us."

Mrs. Xia was a little frightened: "Is this possible?"

Mr. Xia said: "Madam, please let me do it once. If you can do it, I will have no regrets after doing it."

"Okay." Mrs. Xia has always been the most supportive of Mr. Xia. She agreed with Mr. Xia's approach and went to the kitchen with the soy sauce to cook a table of dishes. When Brother An came to pick up Brother Cheng, Mr. Xia left him to eat. seats.

Gu Jinan knew about his sister's idea when Gu Jinli sent soy sauce to the Xia family. Hearing this, he did not refuse and stayed to eat. He also praised: "Mr.'s food is really more delicious than the food at home, with fresh fermented soy sauce on it." What Mr. Xia was waiting for was his words: "Today's dish is not filled with fresh minced rice sauce, but your home soy sauce."

He then asked: "What are you going to do with this soy sauce? Why not, we two can jointly open a soy sauce workshop."

Gu Jinan smiled and refused: "Soy Sauce already has a partner, so we can no longer cooperate with Mr. Xia."

Mr. Xia was anxious: "There is a partner, who is it?"

Gu Jinan: "It was the Zheng family from Jinling who followed the official family."

Mr. Xia was heartbroken when he heard that it was these two families. These two families are aristocratic, and they are relatives of the emperor and the country. Now is the time of prosperity. Cooperating with these two families can ensure that both the soy sauce and the family are taken care of.

But…

“Brother An, the power of your family is not inferior to that of the Zheng family and the Shangguan family. If you cooperate with your family to make soy sauce, you can also protect the soy sauce and your family. Moreover, the relationship between our two families is different from that of the Zheng family and the Shangguan family.”

 The Gu family and the Lu family are related.

However, Gu Jinan shook his head and said: "The power of your family may have been under that of one person before, but now, do you dare to go to the capital to tell the Emperor of Chu your true identity?"

 How can we talk about power if we don’t even dare to risk our lives?

besides…

“In the eyes of our family, there is no difference between the Zheng family, the Shangguan family, and the Xia family.”

After hearing this, Mr. Xia was choked to death.

After Gu Jinan said these words, it was the old man who was there to eat. He also brought a lot of good dishes to Brother Cheng and told him: "Eat more, Mr. Xia's food today is very delicious."

 Brother Cheng looked up at him: "But when I was at home, my eldest brother said, don't eat too much, just eat until you are nine percent full."

Gu Jinan: "Today is different, you can eat more."

 Because, it’s hard to eat when you see someone eating poorly.

Brother Cheng didn’t understand much, but it was rare that his elder brother allowed him to eat more, so he was not polite and had a full meal. After eating, I took the mule cart and followed my elder brother home.

Mr. Xia was very frustrated and told Mrs. Xia about this.

Mrs. Xia comforted him: "Master, forget it. Hu Guanzhu is right. Since we have decided not to help them, let them live by their own abilities. Let's see how capable they are and whether they can afford to prosper the Lu family. Do you have a heavy responsibility? Then don't be jealous of their things and let them go. I just need to do my own thing well and teach Brother Cheng and Brother An to become talents. "

Mr. Xia was silent for a long time after hearing this, but he still wrote a letter to Guanzhu Hu that night, telling her about the soy sauce made by the Gu family.

 This matter is too big not to be discussed.

Hu Guanzhu knew this. She had heard it from Gu Jinli a long time ago. She was not surprised when she received Mr.

Soy sauce is good, but soy sauce alone cannot prosper the Lu family. The most important thing for them now is to have a good relationship with the Gu family. The rest will be discussed when the time is right.

 Mr. Xia gave up his mind only after receiving Hu Guanzhu's letter.

After Gu Jinli boiled the soy sauce and wrote the menu for the restaurant, he left it alone and went to visit his third shop in the town.
