When Shen Dahai heard this, he knew that Jiang Guixiang must know something, and he hurried to ask her.

Jiang Guixiang had no choice but to tell Shen Rong about the medicine purchase before, which made Shen Dahai so angry that he scolded the two of them for being stupid.

"His father, the boss must have been harmed by them and became like this! Even if I risk my life, the Gu family will not have peace." After saying this, the Shen family's woman was ready to get up and find Gu Lingze to settle the score.

"Stop right there! Don't you think the noise is not big enough?" Shen Dahai shouted.

The wife of the Shen family sat on the ground and started howling, and she also wanted to go to the government office, which made Shen Dahai's head buzz.

In fact, he couldn't swallow this breath, but what else could he do? If the commotion got out, would it be said that Shen Rong went to Gu's house to poison him and was beaten stupid? Even if he went to the government office, they wouldn't make the decision for them.

Shen Dahai sighed deeply, as if he had aged several years overnight, and then he hunched over and went into the inner room.

Gu Lingze looked at Zhang Zhihe who was kneeling in the middle of the main hall and found that his face had become more bruised.

A little bit of rice can be a favor, but a big bit of rice can be a grudge. It's nothing more than this.

You can give away some things, but if you want to get them back, it may be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"Master, I have collected five hundred taels. Do you think it is enough..." Zhang Zhihe said carefully, holding the silver.

"I will never go back on my promise. Here is your indenture contract. Take it and go." After saying that, Gu Lingze took out his indenture contract and threw it on the ground.

Zhang Zhihe stood up and put the banknote on the table, then picked up the indenture and put it in his arms. His eyes changed slightly as he bowed.

Of course, Gu Lingze did not miss this scene. The saying "A dog will always eat shit" is indeed true.

"Now that you are free, you should go home and live a peaceful life. Otherwise, even if you lose your indenture, I have thousands of ways to make you regret what you are thinking right now."

After hearing this, Zhang Zhihe felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his face. He quickly knelt down and said yes, no longer daring to think about what he had been thinking just now.

He waved his hand, and Zhang Zhihe retreated to the door and turned away.

Gu Lingze stretched lazily. Since coming here, he met many people who only cared about food and not about beatings. Now he finally had some peace and quiet.

The Shen family didn't come to make trouble, which means there are still one or two people with clear brains. Shen Rong also paid a price, so he was too lazy to care about it.

"Lingze, come and try the snacks that Auntie has just made." Aunt Tao placed a plate in front of him.

Gu Lingze quickly picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and then his eyebrows curved.

"How does it taste? I made it just as you said." Aunt Tao looked at him expectantly.

Gu Lingze's mouth was filled with sesame peach pastry and he couldn't speak, so he could only nod quickly.

Aunt Tao smiled and patted him on the back. "Why are you eating so hastily, kid? This plate is all yours. No one is going to snatch it from you."

Gu Lingze liked to eat desserts in this life and often watched a cooking program that taught how to make desserts. He couldn’t make Western-style desserts for the time being, but he could definitely make Chinese-style desserts.

There were many kinds of food in this dynasty, but the types of dim sum and snacks were very poor. At most, there were red bean and mung bean cakes, dried sweet potatoes, melon seeds and the like.

So Gu Lingze wrote down the recipe for sesame peach pastry and asked Aunt Tao to give it a try.

I didn't expect Aunt Tao to be such a good cook, and her snacks were impeccable. Gu Lingze was very satisfied with the meal.

As soon as Zhao Chengmo entered the main hall, he saw Gu Lingze with his cheeks puffed up, eating a round cake in one hand happily, looking like a squirrel in the back mountain.

"Zhao boy, come and try the snacks that Auntie has just made." Aunt Tao saw Zhao Chengmo, smiled and waved to him.

Zhao Chengmo walked to the table and picked up a piece. He glanced at Gu Lingze, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Gu Lingze was so focused on eating that he didn't notice his expression.

"Lingze, what is the name of this dessert?" asked Aunt Tao.

Gu Lingze picked up the teacup and took two sips. He pushed the food in his mouth down and replied, "Sesame peach pastry, peachy and crispy."

"Sesame peach pastry, peach pastry? This pastry is delicious and has a nice name. It's what you had in your original home..." Aunt Tao suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing and her face looked a little embarrassed.

Gu Lingze didn't care about it at all, but he couldn't tell the truth about the peach pastry. He could only say vaguely that he liked snacks and made it up randomly.

Zhao Chengmo looked at him with a slight gleam in his eyes, but said nothing.

After hearing this, Aunt Tao praised him for his intelligence. Gu Lingze could only touch his neck and responded with embarrassment.

During dinner, Aunt Tao specifically asked everyone to eat less and save some room for snacks after the meal.

After the others tasted it, they all praised it highly. When they heard Aunt Tao say that it was Gu Lingze's idea, everyone was about to praise him.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Gu Lingze hurriedly asked Uncle Xu, "Uncle, how do you think this snack sells in Yunlai Restaurant?"

As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. This is also a good livelihood. Gu Lingze is not a stingy person. Of course he is willing to share money with everyone, but the three members of the Xu family will definitely not ask for his money for no reason.

Xu Mingyan is just a scholar now. He had been ill for so long that his family's assets had been drained long ago. The family's land had also been sold, and they only relied on the little income from Uncle Xu's purchasing business. They had always lived a very tight life.

Uncle Xu thought that it was Gu Lingze who wanted to sell it, so he said cheerfully, "I don't think it's a big problem. This snack is delicious and not troublesome. The shopkeeper will definitely agree after tasting it. If this is successful, let your aunt help."

Gu Lingze smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not that I want to do it. First, I don't have the skills, and second, I don't have the time. I just want uncle and aunt to make more money. Brother Xu will need money to study and take the exam in the future."

Before Uncle Xu and Aunt Tao could react, Xu Mingyan politely declined, "This is a dessert recipe you came up with. How can we monopolize it? Now that I'm well, I can help the library copy books to earn money, and I can save some slowly."

"I gave this to you willingly. How can you say it's usurpation? You're going to take the imperial examination soon. Why lose the big picture for the small? Besides, I really don't have the energy to do this. If you don't want to, then leave it at home and we can eat it ourselves."

Aunt Tao was a little hesitant. This snack was delicious and looked good, and it was indeed a good way to make money. But now she was eating and living here, and it would be embarrassing if she took the recipe again.

Gu Lingze took out a few more recipes he had written before dinner and placed them on the table, saying seriously, "These are also snack recipes. If you feel embarrassed, Aunt Tao, you can ask Doctor Li and Uncle Zhou's wife to help you make money."

"Both families have been kind to us three siblings, and this is just a small way of repaying them." He said sincerely, looking at the three members of the Xu family.
