Chapter 70 Is this going to cause trouble?
"You and Brother Tan should also be careful of my second sister-in-law. She has bad intentions." Gu Xiaoxi said.
"Okay, I understand." Mrs. Tan nodded in understanding after hearing this.
However, his man's cousin is also a person with bad intentions. I really don't know what trouble he will cause in the future.
The appearance of the Mo family had a slight impact on Gu Xiaoxi and the others. They sold a bowl of rice for three cents, while others sold it for two cents.
Hearing the price, Gu Xiaoxi actually laughed.
When she set the price, it was because their chestnuts were free, and the only cost she had to pay was the sugar and oil paper.
However, if chestnuts need money to be purchased, there is almost no profit even if they are sold for three cents.
In order to seize the market, my second sister-in-law and her friends only sold the product for two cents, which clearly showed that they did not know how to calculate.
Not to mention my second brother, he's a nerd.
This is a good idea. I can empty their family assets at once. Then the woman's true colors will be revealed and she will dump my second brother sooner or later, which will make him give up.
"Sister, they are still affecting our business." Gu Nanming said.
"It's okay. If we can't sell them all by noon, we can take them over there and sell them." Gu Xiaoxi reassured her third brother.
Um!
Gu Nanming nodded.
At the stall opposite, Mrs. Mo saw that there was a customer at her stall and looked at Gu Xiaoxi with a smug look on her face.
Gu Ximing felt sorry for his family and didn't dare to look up.
Seeing that his business was gradually getting better, Tan Youcai smiled from ear to ear and looked at his cousin and cousin-in-law with the same pride.
"What a character! He's as ugly as shit." After cursing, Mrs. Tan spat and continued to work.
Even if the customers were diverted, the impact on her would not be that big.
After all, in addition to the business brought by chestnuts, there is also the business brought by three-fresh porridge.
The chestnuts sold by Gu Xiaoxi and his team are a little slower than usual, but merchants from all around are still buying them.
By the time it was time for lunch, all the students in the academy came out.
Chen Youcai had been staring at the entrance of the academy. When he saw Chen Qinian come out and pointed over there, he said, "Look, that's Mr. Chen. His family is rich and powerful in the city. If you can coax him to come here to buy candied chestnuts, they will never be so proud again."
When Mrs. Mo heard what Chen Youcai said, her eyes lit up.
Isn’t this the rich second generation?
As soon as she arrived here, she became the wife of a poor man. She was surrounded by poor people and it was difficult to see a rich person.
Now that the opportunity has come, she must seize it. What are these broken things?
Once she hooks up with a rich second-generation man, she won't have to live such a poor life anymore.
Thinking of this, she pulled her clothes and walked over with a big bowl of chestnuts.
Chen Qinian had been waiting for the get out of class to end so that he could eat sugar-roasted chestnuts that were sweeter than his wife, but as soon as he came out, he was stopped by a woman.
"Mr. Chen, I heard that you like sugar-roasted chestnuts. Would you like to try ours?" Mrs. Mo looked at Chen Qinian with a charming smile. She was determined to trap this rich second generation.
Chen Qinian was just a young boy who had not yet fallen in love. How could he understand the little tricks of a woman? He grabbed a few chestnuts, peeled one and stuffed it into his mouth.
After taking a bite, he frowned.
"Pah, it's disgusting!"
He spat it out, walked around Mrs. Mo in disgust and went to Sister Xiaoxi's stall.
Mrs. Tan and Gu Xiaoxi also saw Mrs. Mo step forward to stop Chen Qinian. When they saw Chen Qinian spitting, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Gu Xiaoxi felt that Chen Qinian was a sentimental person, and even if the chestnuts from the Mo family were really delicious, he would not go.
Mrs. Mo was so angry that she touched her face and looked at her clothes.
It must be because this outfit is too shabby and not pleasing to the young man.
She bit her lip hard and twisted her slender waist back to the stall.
There were originally quite a few people at the stall, but when some saw Young Master Chen's disgusted look, they turned around and went to Gu Xiaoxi and the others.
This really ruined Tan Youcai's luck. He had originally thought that he could make a lot of money by letting them set up a stall here, but he didn't expect it to be so useless.
When Mrs. Mo returned, she received a cold stare from Chen Youcai. She said in a displeased tone, "Don't look at me like that. Even if you can't get any big customers, your business is better than before."
Chen Youcai pursed his lips and said nothing, because what the woman said was right. He could only continue working in frustration.
On the other side, Chen Qinian went to Gu Xiaoxi's stall. He had grabbed two extra chestnuts when he was picking them just now, and he secretly stuffed them into Gu Xiaoxi's stall after he came over.
Gu Xiaoxi tasted it and it tasted like sugar-roasted chestnuts, but the cooking time seemed to be wrong, so the taste was worse than theirs.
She stuffed the remaining one into her third brother's pocket so that he could have a taste too.
Gu Nanming was a little surprised when he took a bite. The taste was not much different, and the price was cheaper than theirs, which made him a little nervous.
As soon as the gate of the academy opened, the sugar-roasted chestnuts on Gu Xiaoxi's stall were quickly sold out. Although not as fast as before, it was a good thing that they were sold out.
As usual, after selling the chestnuts, they had lunch at Mrs. Tan's house.
There were so many people here that many things couldn't be said. After lunch, Mrs. Tan walked them for a while before they started talking.
"Xiaoxi, do you have any backup plan? I see there are a lot of people over there!" Mrs. Tan said worriedly.
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi comforted her, "Don't worry, Mrs. Tan. They bought their chestnuts with money. We picked our own chestnuts from the mountain. We sell them for three cents, and they sell them for two cents. I guess they're still losing money. I want to see how long their pockets can hold out."
Mrs. Tan had never really calculated the cost issue, but now that Gu Xiaoxi said so, it seemed to be true.
"Let's go back. We still need to go to the city to buy some cotton to make winter clothes for our family." Gu Xiaoxi was worried that Brother Tan would be too busy.
After hearing this, Mrs. Tan smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you to buy it. That guy is easy to talk to and can bargain down the price."
"Thank you, Mrs. Tan. You are not just my sister-in-law, you are my real sister!" After saying this, Gu Xiaoxi took Mrs. Tan's hand, and the two of them walked in front with laughter.
First, he went to the cloth shop to buy cotton. After Mrs. Tan left, Gu Xiaoxi went to the pharmacy and sold the medicinal herbs he had dug in the mountains yesterday.
When Mrs. Tan saw that these wild grasses were sold for three taels of silver, she was filled with envy.
"Xiaoxi, can those wild grasses be sold for money?" She couldn't help but ask after leaving the pharmacy.
"Sister-in-law, those are not weeds, they are medicinal herbs. After I finish this, I will teach you to identify them. When you see them when you go up the mountain, just bring them back." Gu Xiaoxi had not originally planned to teach them to recognize medicinal herbs.
Since her sister-in-law asked about it today, she simply agreed.
When they walked out of the pharmacy, they happened to meet Mrs. Mo who came to buy oil paper.
When Mrs. Mo saw Gu Xiaoxi and the others coming out of the pharmacy, she suddenly thought of another way to make a fortune. She could also go up the mountain to dig herbs.
Although I have lost those memories in my mind, maybe I can remember them again when I see those herbs?
It seems that I still have to follow that little bitch Gu Xiaoxi tomorrow.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't see Mrs. Mo. They sold the herbs and went back.
I still took a horse-drawn carriage to go home, also to save time.
When they returned to the village, her eldest brother and the others went back first, and she took the backpack and went up the mountain again.
She planned to finish tomorrow's work in the afternoon and go to her uncle's house tomorrow.
However, when they returned home, her parents told her that her uncle had to go out for a few days for something.
If that's the case, she will continue to go up the mountain tomorrow.
All the thorn balls found before are piled up in the space, and they can be taken out when needed.
…
The next morning, Gu Xiaoxi got up early to teach everyone exercises. After the exercises, she had breakfast, gave Afeng some instructions, looked at her father's legs, applied medicine to him, and went out with two baskets on her back.
When she reached the foot of the mountain, she looked back meaningfully and found that it was really lively today. The four people who had followed her before showed up.
No!
More than four.
Is this going to cause trouble?
