The third grandma smiled broadly when she heard this: "That's right, I'm getting old. In addition to finding Fuya's family, my only wish in this life is that our family will live in peace and harmony... Can our family survive?" easy."

When the third grandma said the last words, she couldn't help but shed tears.

When the family thinks about the hardships they suffered while fleeing famine, and then thinks about the good days today, they feel sad and like they are dreaming.

Several members of the family promised: "Don't worry, Third Auntie, our families are all close friends, and no matter what, we will never have any beef over a few dollars."

How much?

Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes in her heart, that was dozens of taels of silver a day, nearly a thousand taels a month, and this business could last a lifetime.

Chen thought about it and almost died of jealousy.

Thinking about it again, half of the money Gu Daya earned would be given to Gu Dashan's family. That would be hundreds of taels in a month, and she felt much more comfortable.

After Gu Jinan finished reporting the accounts and divided the money on both sides, the third grandfather said: "Da Ya has prepared braised meat and roast duck for you guys. Take them and go back now. There is still work to be done in the workshop, so we can't delay it. ”

Then he sighed: "There are still not enough manpower."

Nowadays, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and new products such as dried tofu, fried tofu, and fermented bean curd have been added, and the workshop is a little busy.

Gu Jinli said: "Then let's invite a few more people. My aunt's family also needs people to kill the ducks, otherwise it will be too busy."

Yesterday, He San Leizi and Lao Zhu helped to kill, but they had other jobs to do, especially Lao Zhu, who was good at boxing and kicking. It was a bit unfair to let people kill ducks.

Third Grandpa said: "Sure, let's invite a few more people. He Tieshu, He Dayuan and Mo Kuizi are good. Asking them to help us can make things easier for us."

Several families knew these three people and knew that their nature was good, so they naturally agreed.

"Let's go to the kitchen to get braised meat and roast duck." The third grandma smiled and led several women to the kitchen to get what Daya had prepared. When Gu Yumei heard the sound, she quickly stood up and hid aside, for fear that Mrs. Chen would hit her.

Mrs. Chen glared at her and cursed: "Where are you doing? Why don't you come over and help get the food? You don't want to eat meat anymore?"

Gu Yumei could only trot over to get some points for her own braised food.

Gu Daya was very generous and gave several families ten kilograms of braised food, plus a roast duck. When several families saw so much braised food, they all said it was too much.

The third grandma said: "Just take it for you. You have helped Da Ya's family a lot in the past two days, so you should take some braised food back to replenish it."

"Hey, listen to San Auntie." Several women brought the braised meat and followed their men and children back home.

Gu Daya's family didn't leave. They had to go to the meat stall to buy meat and braise the meat before they could go home.

Qi Kangming will not go back tonight. He will guard the shop and watch the fire in the kitchen.

Ms. Chen was very dissatisfied with this and whispered quietly: "Why don't we let my family keep the shop? The shop obviously belongs to several families, not the eldest sister's family."

She also wanted to live in a shop and be a town citizen.

Several families went to the shop in a grand manner in the morning, and came back in a grand manner in the afternoon. Everyone in the village saw it, and they were envious and jealous.

"Look at how people are living these days. They have all opened shops." Beside the well in the middle of the village, the women in the village were carrying water. They saw several families returning and gathered together to say with envy.

"Is their shop profitable?"

"What about that shop? They have three shops."

"Three? Oh, that's really incredible. Just to build three shops, it will cost several hundred taels of silver. How can this person who escaped from poverty be so rich?"

"Don't say anything about fleeing the countryside. If the village chief hears it, you will be punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall."

The village chief said that the Qin Gu Luotian family can make their He family rich, and they must respect those families more, and don't talk about fleeing from famine, otherwise those families will get angry and refuse to help their He family. , then they will have to continue to suffer poverty.

"I was too quick to talk, so I let something slip." The woman asked again, "Does their shop make money?"

"Can you not make money? Their shop just opened today. My college student went to the iron shop in the town to repair farm tools. When he passed by, he went in and took a look. Oh, the customers almost overwhelmed the shop. There were so many people buying food. , the county magistrate even gave their shop a plaque."

"What? The county magistrate gave their shop a plaque?" He Cui'er's mother heard shouting: "Really or not? The county magistrate lives in the county town, how could he know that their shop opened today and give him a gift?" Plaque, it takes a lot of time to make a plaque.”

Seeing that He Cui'er's mother didn't believe it, He Dasheng's wife put her hands on her waist and said, "My man saw with his own eyes that someone from the county sent the plaque. Do you know who sent it? They are Jiang County Lieutenant's two sons. And Master Tian."

"Master Tian, ​​do you know? If you don't know, ask the village chief. Master Tian is a popular person next to the county magistrate. He came to deliver the plaque in person, so it can still be fake!"

"Hey, the county captain's son and the master came to deliver the plaque. That is definitely true. The village chief is right. Our He family will definitely get rich if we follow those families to make a living. Look at them, the county magistrate is all Help." He Guiwa's mother sighed: "If my Guiwa can work in Gu's workshop, I will lose three years of my life."

He Cui'er's mother could only think of the county magistrate delivering a plaque to Gu's shop. She couldn't stay any longer and hurriedly left with an empty bucket.

He Guiwa's mother shouted to her: "Sister-in-law Da Shu, don't you want to carry water?"

He Cui'er's mother ignored her and hurriedly walked home. With a bang, she kicked open the courtyard door, put down the bucket, went straight to the main room, and snatched the round embroidery shed from He Cui'er's hand. He came over and shouted: "Why are you still embroidering this crap? Hurry up and pester Qi Kangping more."

He Cuier was so angry that she snatched the embroidery shed back and said, "Mom, what are you doing? This is the purse I embroidered for Qi Kangping. I will give it to him in the future. It is made of good fabric and cost five cents." Money bought it.”

"Five cents is nothing. Do you know that the Gu family has become the county magistrate?"

He Dashu and his two sons had just returned from working in the fields. They heard these words as soon as they entered the courtyard. He didn't even have time to wash the mud off his legs. He hurried over and asked, "What are you talking about? The Gu family has climbed up to the county magistrate?"

Mother He Cuier looked at her man and said, "You just climbed up. Dasheng's wife said that Dasheng went to town to repair farm tools today and stopped by the Gu family's shop to watch the fun. She happened to see Jiang County Lieutenant's two sons coming with his master. Gu’s shop sent a plaque, and that plaque was sent to me by the county magistrate.”

She stretched out her hand and tapped He Cuier's forehead, encouraging her: "The Gu family has become so prosperous, but you damn girl is still sitting here embroidering purses and embroidering anything. It's serious to hurry up and get this person." .”
