Chapter 690 Old Friends
Dou Shaodong's family frowned slightly. He didn't want to be an official, nor did he want to please the literati. He just wanted to make money. He wanted to take the ham to the capital immediately, for fear that something would go wrong if he kept this good thing in his hands.
Dong Dong's family whispered to him: "Don't be stupid. If you can get acquainted with Mr. Ouyang, your father will think highly of you when you return home, and you will be able to take charge of the Dou family."
The Dou family is the strong rival of the Dong family in Jinling. Although the Dou Shaodong family has a flamboyant personality, they are very good people. They know how to do things and leave a way for other merchants to fall back on. They will not kill them all. Dong Dong's family likes to deal with him very much and hopes that he can take charge of the Dou family and be the head of the Dou family.
After weighing the pros and cons, Dou Shaodong's family finally nodded: "Sure, I will go to Magistrate Zheng's house to stay for one night."
Hmph. Ouyang Hu snorted coldly: Todays boys are all those who get an advantage and still behave.
Dou Shaodong's family pretended not to hear, and turned around to laugh at Boss An: "Old man, where are you going to transport your ham to be auctioned? There is the Dong family in Jinling, the Dou family in Beijing, and there is also a place for your An family in He'an Prefecture. But He'an The people in the house are all poor, who would spend thousands of taels of silver to buy you a pig leg?"
Boss An was very angry and pointed at him and said: "Shu Zi, don't be complacent. We also have many wealthy families in Jianghuai. It's no problem to spend thousands of taels of silver to buy one or two treasures."
"Oh, isn't it a pig's leg? Why has it become a treasure again?" Dou Shaodong's family is young and energetic. They think Boss Qi'an is very funny. He said that many people in Jianghuai are poor, people in Jianghuai don't know how to do business, and there is no madness in Jianghuai. Shi, Jianghuai has no important officials.
Not to mention Boss An, Gu Jinli was almost angry when he heard it. Her family is also from Jianghuai now.
"This Dou Shaodong family has a really vicious mouth. He must have accumulated good deeds in his previous life to survive until now." Otherwise, he would have been beaten to death long ago.
Qin Sanlang came to the window, glanced down, and saw that Dou Shaodong's family was still scolding Boss An, but Boss An was already being supported by Boss Tian and looked like he was about to faint. He smiled: "The mouth is indeed very poisonous."
He was also very flamboyant. When he was a child, he thought his stepmother would poison him to death. In order to survive, he went to the largest restaurant in the capital to shout that if he died, if he couldn't give birth to a son in the future, if he grew up to be useless, if he didn't get married, he would give birth to a bastard. , it must be the stepmothers fault.
Although this trick is rogue, it is very effective. His stepmother would take a detour when she saw him and did not dare to harm him again.
At that time, "Dou Ke" was only six years old.
Qin Sanlang just glanced at it and turned around and sat back down.
Dou Shaodong glanced at the second floor, then quickly turned back and continued to mock Boss An.
Boss An couldn't bear it anymore. He asked Gu Jinan and said that the ham would be auctioned again on January 20 next year, and then he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Mr. Qi asked him to wait and went to get close to Gu Jinan: "Brother An, your ham is a big seller."
Then he asked in a low voice: "Is there still any ham? What is Xiaoyu girl's plan? Maybe give some to the Qi family? Don't worry, the Qi family doesn't come to the auction. I thought it was almost the Chinese New Year, so I bought it for my eldest brother so that he could Give it to Shangfeng as a New Year gift."
Mr. Qi has been working hard for many years and has finally been promoted, but he has not yet established a firm foothold. If he can send a ham to Shangfeng, his official position will be stable.
Gu Jin'an said: "Mr. Qi, I already said when we were bidding that Yanfu House will only produce ten hams this year, so they cannot be distributed evenly to the Qi family. However, if Mr. Qi really wants to buy it, he can sell it to the Qi family after the year." One of yours has a base price of one thousand taels."
Character!
Mr. Qi cursed secretly in his heart, but nodded and said: "Sure, I will send someone to get it after that year."
Something is better than nothing.
After Mr. Qi said this, he took the return gift from Yanfu Tower and left with Boss An and the others.
Mr. Hus family also came to say goodbye and said apologetically: I originally wanted to come to support your family, but I didnt expect ham to be in such short supply. Its really
Gu Jinan smiled and said: "If Uncle Hu wants ham, he can buy it after the new year. Yanfu House will sell ten hams to Futai House at the base price of one thousand taels of silver."
Mr. Hu was shocked. It was a pie in the sky, and it was stuffed with money: "Brother An, thank you uncle. With these ten hams, Fu Tai Lou can not only gain a firm foothold in Fucheng, but also become a restaurant." Drive to Linhe Mansion." Gu Jin'an smiled and said, "Uncle Hu, you're welcome. The money Futai Tower makes is the money we Yanfu Tower makes."
Fu Tai Lou is selling dozens of Yanfu Lou dishes. The more they sell, the more their family earns.
Hu Dong's family was very grateful and didn't stay much. They took the return gift from Yanfu Tower and left.
Gu Jinan and his son took Brother Cheng away after sending Hu Dong's family, Magistrate Zheng, and Ouyang Hu away, then went up to the second floor and gave Gu Jinli the banknotes they earned today.
"Thirteen thousand nine hundred taels." As soon as Gu Jinan said this, everyone was shocked.
Qin Sanlang has also seen people with a lot of money, but he can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver from just ten pig legs. This is really the first time he has seen Xiaoyu who is so good at making money.
Gu Jinli happily counted the banknotes: "This is all my hard-earned money."
Brother Cheng snorted: "Second sister just stood by and said a few words. Where did the hard work come from? The ones who did the hard work were the Xiong family, the Ma family and the Mei family."
Gu Jinli ignored him and put the banknote away.
After Gu Dashan was shocked, he began to ask worriedly: "Have you seen Brother Wu? It's almost afternoon, why haven't you come back yet?"
Gu Jinli was angry when he heard the word "Luo Wu" and said to Gu Dashan: "Father, leave him alone. Let's go back to have a feast and celebrate the winter solstice."
Gu Dashan said: "Why don't you ignore it? Brother Wu..."
If Brother Wu doesn't come back, how will he talk about his marriage to Sister Xiu? How old is his eldest daughter? He and Mrs. Cui were so worried that they couldn't sleep.
Gu Jinli said, "Dad, let's go back first and give him two hours. If he doesn't come back after dark, Brother Qin will go find him."
In addition to giving Luo Wu a chance, I wanted to go home first, and I also wanted to see the attitude of the Luo family.
Gu Jinli has always been puzzled. Robert's father has such a good relationship with his father, and Mrs. Chu is on good terms with her mother. Why is the marriage between the two families allowed to drag on until now?
Her parents will always wait for the Luo family, not only because they feel that Luo Wu knows everything, but also because they trust Luo's father and the Chu family.
Gu Dashan and Mr. Cui are both people with no independent opinions. They can only rely on the Luo family to protect their brothers and sisters in their hometown and on the road to escape. Therefore, Gu Dashan and Mr. Cui relied heavily on the Luo family and wanted to become in-laws with the Luo family.
After what happened to Zhan Er, Gu Dashan and his wife became more determined on this idea. They were afraid that if they looked for someone else for their eldest daughter, they would find someone who didn't know their roots. For example, the Zhan family was too scary. They didn't want to harm their eldest daughter.
After hearing this, Gu Dashan felt relieved, packed up with the others, and drove the mule cart home.
The house is already very lively. Several families are gathering together to cook. A few old people are sitting in the dining room warming themselves by the fire and talking. Gu Qingxi, Jin Niu and Gui Niu are chasing and playing.
"Xiaoyu, you're back." Luo Huiniang saw Gu Jinli coming back and ran over quickly.
Three years later, Luo Huiniang is already sixteen. She is a big girl. She is much taller, but her face is still round and she looks very cute and cute.
As he spoke, he looked at the Gu family's mule cart again and said disappointedly, "Isn't my brother back yet?"
She was really anxious. If her eldest brother didn't come back this time, he wouldn't be able to marry Sister Xiu!
