Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 729: Proposal

Bai Shitang had always mentioned doing business in Fucheng before, so Su Mulan nodded, "Okay, I heard there are a lot of snacks here. Let's go for a walk in the alleys tomorrow. Go away."

Big restaurants and shops sell their products based on word of mouth and reputation. The food cannot be said to be bad, but in order to cater to the tastes of many people, the taste has been improved over and over again. Although the taste is good, it is lacking in the end. Somewhat unique.

If you really want to eat snacks that are full of characteristics and have unique taste, you have to walk around the small streets and alleys, and look for a place that has been open for a long time, but is small and shabby enough. .

"Then go to bed quickly and get up early in the morning to see what food is available on the streets." Bai Shitang said softly and kissed Su Mulan on the forehead.

"Well, go to bed early." Su Mulan reached out and hooked Bai Shitang's neck.

 The new moon at the beginning of the month has now set.

 In the pitch-black night sky, there are only a few stars, like gems on a ribbon, shining brightly.

Gu Xiuwen was sitting in the courtyard, a little lost in thought.

“Sir, the tea has cooled down. I’ll give you another cup.” The boy took away the tea cup, brought a new cup over, and placed it on the stone table.

Gu Xiuwen picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

The tea has a refreshing fragrance and is very comfortable in the mouth.

 It’s just that I drank too much tea, and now I feel a little empty in my stomach.

Gu Xiuwen reached out to grab the pastries on the plate on the table, but found nothing.

 Looking up, he started laughing.

 The plate was already empty, not even the dregs of the mung bean cake was left.

 But even though the mung bean cake was completely eaten at this time, the delicate and sweet taste is still in the mouth and has not dissipated for a long time.

Gu Xiuwen was a little distracted.

"If you want to eat cakes, sir, there are some peanut cakes in the kitchen. Can you go get some?" The boy scratched his ears, "It just doesn't taste as good as this Qilixiang mung bean cake..."

It's okay to eat it. After all, I've finished eating the mung bean cake. If I want to eat it again, I have to wait until tomorrow to buy it in Qilixiang, or I have to wait until the day after tomorrow for Lu Wenqing to deliver it.

"No need." Gu Xiuwen only drank most of the tea and went to the bedroom.

 The next day, the Lu family.

 In the main hall, Lu Jingyan smiled broadly, raised his hands and asked, "I wonder what you are doing, Mr. Gu, when you suddenly come to my humble residence?"

Gu Xiuwen returned the favor and responded politely, "I wonder if Shopkeeper Lu is at home?"

"Unfortunately, my little sister went to the Lu Chamber of Commerce today and said she had something to discuss. If Mr. Gu wants to see my little sister, I will send someone to call her back." Lu Jingyan said.

"That's not necessary." Gu Xiuwen pinched his fingers in his sleeves and said, "This matter needs to be discussed with Master Lu."

"Oh?" Lu Jingyan was a little surprised for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. He stood up and saluted Gu Xiuwen again, "I wonder what the matter is with Mr. Gu? If our Lu family needs help, Mr. Gu No matter how much you ask, the Lu family will do their best.”

Gu Xiuwen took care of the Lu family a lot, both overtly and covertly. Lu Jingyan could see that he respected Gu Xiuwen as a person and was grateful as a beneficiary, so he expressed his stance immediately.

 “It’s not a business matter, but a private matter…”

Gu Xiuwen stood up and his attitude became very respectful, "I came today to propose marriage on my behalf."

After bowing again, Gu Xiuwen said, "I, Gu Xiuwen, would like to ask your sister to be my wife."
