After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 101 Unhappy

Zhang Yuniang held a seventy-tael banknote in her hand. Thinking of Liu Xiaoru's character, she asked suspiciously: "This is too much. Did you send all the money in the shop?"

Liu Xiaoru quickly waved her hand and said: "Sister, you don't know how good the business in the store is during the Chinese New Year. When you went back, there was only one pot in the store, but now there are three pots in the store. Just like that, the supply is still in short supply! "

Zhang Yunniang was shocked when she heard this and said: "If you sell three pots every day, can you sell them all?"

Liu Xiaoru said with a smile: "Two of the pots were ordered by Chunfeng Tower."

Zhang Yunniang didn't expect such a good thing, and said: "Two big pots, have Chunfeng Restaurant sold out?"

Liu Xiaoru said: "Why can't it be sold out? Chunfenglou always pays in advance, for fear that I won't sell it to him. He directly sells the braised food from our place at three times the price. This profiteer can earn as much as us." many!"

Zhang Yunniang was not as angry as Liu Xiaoru, and said with a smile: "He can sell it because of his ability. We don't have a restaurant, so we should hope that their business will become more and more prosperous, so that we can sell our braised food without worrying about it."

When Liu Xiaoru heard this, she stamped her foot and said, "Sister, why are you saying exactly the same thing as Cheng He!"

Cheng He is the owner of Chunfeng Restaurant and someone who buys two pots of braised food every day.

Zhang Yunniang asked again if the remaining pot of braised food was good for sale.

Liu Xiaoru said: "There are people queuing up early in the morning, and they can be sold in one morning. Our shop is really popular!"

Only then did Zhang Yuniang feel relieved.

Liu Xiaoru didn't just give away money. She worked calmly and settled the accounts of this period one by one.

"Sister, now you have to believe that we really made so much money." Liu Xiaoru said with a smile.

Zhang Yunniang nodded.

Liu Xiaoru added: "Since my sister will live in the county in the future, I have an idea. There are people coming and going in the shop. Although Mrs. Feng is diligent, she is not as trustworthy as her own family. It is better to cook braised food in this yard in the future. Once it’s done, send it to the shop for sale?”

The yard that the Gu family rents is not far from the shop, so it is convenient to deliver braised food there.

When Zhang Yuniang heard this, she couldn't help but ask: "Did you notice anything strange when you suddenly said that?"

Liu Xiaoru nodded lightly and said, "Maybe I saw it wrong. During the Chinese New Year, I always feel like there are shadows in the yard at night, as if someone has entered."

Zhang Yuniang suddenly felt her heart in her throat and asked, "Are you injured?"

Liu Xiaoru shook her head and said, "That man was timid and ran away when he heard the sound. I asked Capt. Chen to come around a few times during the day, but the man never came again."

Zhang Yunniang wants Liu Xiaoru to move here and live together.

Liu Xiaoru is a peaceful woman who has no apparent blood relationship with the Gu family. If they really live together, outsiders don't know how to arrange it. Liu Xiaoru naturally refuses to do such a thing that will drag down the reputation of the Gu family.

"With Mrs. Feng accompanying me, what big thing can happen? Besides, that person is either trying to make money or want the braised food recipe. Once everything is delivered here, I'm not afraid that he will come again. I will raise a dog in the yard later. If the thief returns, If he dares to come, he will never come back." Liu Xiaoru said.

Seeing that she insisted on doing this, Zhang Yunniang didn't mention it again.

Both of them were action-minded, and they quickly hired people to set up a stove. Since the business was good and they didn't lack money, they started five pots in the Gu family's house.

Mrs. Gu was originally worried that she wouldn't be able to help in the shop, but now looking at the mountains of ingredients, she and Mrs. Feng couldn't handle them. Even the old and confused Mr. Gu had to be pushed by her ears. to help.

After the first lunar month, people in the entire county seemed to have woken up from the impulsive spending caused by the New Year. The business in the shops was much worse, and even the amount of braised food required at Chunfeng Tower was reduced a lot.

But the impact on the Gu family is not particularly great. After all, the food in the shop has only been sold for one day. If there are fewer people buying today, they will make less food tomorrow.

Since there are many family members, things that cannot be sold can be digested internally, or some can be sent to the yamen to maintain relationships, so nothing is wasted. But the money she received each month became less and less. Zhang Yunniang was still able to hold on, but Mrs. Gu couldn't.

"well."

The old lady sat on the threshold and sighed after watching people take away the braised meat made at home early in the morning.

"Grandma, look at my black general!" Gu Zhao held a black cricket in his hands and brought it to Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu forced a smile and said, "Okay, okay, I saw it, take it aside quickly."

Gu Zhao held the cricket but did not move. Instead, he stood there and looked at Mrs. Gu steadily.

Mrs. Gu was so frightened by him that she asked, "Azhao, do you have anything else to do?"

Gu Zhao asked: "I've shown you General Black, why are you still not happy?"

Mrs. Gu was confused: Huh?

Gu Zhao continued: "General Black is my treasure. It took me several days to find it. Even if my mother wants to see it, I have to think about it."

Mrs. Gu's heart softened. She immediately understood that it was she who had been unhappy and made the children worried.

The old lady looked at Niuniu aside, and the little girl also looked at her with worry.

"It's okay, grandma is not unhappy." Mrs. Gu forced a smile on her old face.

Seeing her smile, Gu Zhao stopped worrying and went to play with the baby General Black in his arms.

Niu Niu did not leave, but leaned into her grandma's arms and asked softly: "Why is grandma unhappy?"

Mrs. Gu didn't know how to answer.

Niuniu asked again: "Are you too bored staying in the yard?"

Mrs. Gu nodded quickly, trying to get rid of this matter.

Niuniu grabbed the old lady's hand and walked out of the yard: "It's too boring. I'll go out with grandma for a walk."

Mrs. Gu was not very happy to go out.

She has always had a very clear understanding of herself. She feels that she is just an old country lady. Now she is very satisfied to be able to help her son and daughter-in-law at home, but when she goes out, she has to look dark.

"I'm doing fine at home. I'm very happy to have you with me." Mrs. Gu said.

Niu Niu stood there and looked at her grandma seriously: "Grandma, are you lying to me?"

Mrs. Gu didn't expect her granddaughter to be so sharp. She hesitated and didn't know what to say.

"How can you be happy if you don't even go out? When you were in the village, you liked to go out and chat with other people's grandma." Niu Niu said.

The old lady thought to herself that when she was in Qingshui Village, she was the first old lady in the village. When she went out, people would gather around her and compliment her. Of course she was happy to go out, but who knew her in this huge county? .

"My dear, grandma just wants to stay with my dear at home. With my dear here, grandma is happier than anyone else. Do you want to eat plumeria? Grandma will make you a bowl right now?" Mrs. Gu said obediently, Trying to get this thing out of the way.
