Chapter 127 Pushing
Mr. Luo's idea came to him very quickly.
Luo Zhang showed an outstanding talent for study at a young age, and his future career was obviously bright. The Luo family had few descendants, and compared to trying hard to climb up, the Luo family cared more about the well-being of their family members.
Old Master Luo was inevitably led astray by the wet nurse, and he thought Luo Zhang really cared about Niu Niu.
After dinner in the evening, Mr. Luo left his grandson alone.
"A Zhang, can grandpa let Niu Niu be your wife in the future?" Grandpa Luo asked directly.
Luo Zhang had just taken a sip of tea when he immediately started coughing, his face turning red.
"Grandpa, I'm only seven years old. Don't you think it's too early?" Luo Zhang said anxiously.
Mr. Luo carefully observed his grandson's expression and asked suspiciously, "Don't you want Niuniu to be your wife?"
Luo Zhang emphasized again: "I'm only seven years old! Seven years old! Who would arrange a marriage for a seven-year-old?"
A seven-year-old boy is more proud than anyone else and has no idea of love. In his heart, Niu Niu is just a special playmate.
Mr. Luo said, "What's wrong with seven years old? Many people get married when they are still in the womb."
Luo Zhang's ears turned red. He felt that he couldn't communicate with the old man, so he said, "Grandpa, don't ask everyone you see to marry me. The last time you saw my aunt's daughter, she said the same thing."
Mr. Luo said, "That time the adults were just teasing you, why did you take it seriously?"
Luo Zhang shook his head and said, "I'm only seven years old. I'll talk about getting married when I have achieved success."
Seeing his grandson's determined expression, Mr. Luo immediately looked regretful and said with emotion: "Niuniu is so cute, everyone who has seen her has said nothing good about her. Why don't you decide on her first? What if someone snatches her away in the future?"
Luo Zhang looked at his grandfather like a child who didn't understand anything.
Mr. Luo was annoyed when he saw this look, and simply drove him away: "Go back, you have no vision, you will regret it later."
But these words planted a seed in Luo Zhang's heart. When he stopped reading at night, he suddenly looked at Fang Yuan who was sleeping at the table next to him. He couldn't help thinking that if the person reading with him was Niu Niu, she would definitely not fall asleep while sitting here.
Wait until the next day to see Niu Niu again.
Luo Zhang saw the little girl jumping and running towards him from afar, and for some reason he also started to jump for joy.
But he still didn't understand why he was so excited. Just like before, he was happy to see Niu Niu and felt particularly happy playing with her.
Grandpa Luo thought that his grandson was unwilling, so he stopped thinking about going any further. He still invited the Gu children to dinner every now and then and started treating Niu Niu as his own granddaughter.
The days are getting warmer, and in a blink of an eye, I take off my cotton jacket and put on thin summer clothes.
Thanks to Deshenglou's unremitting promotion in the past few months, the Gu family's braised food business has become extremely popular. Originally they cooked three pots a day, but now there are five pots in the Gu family's house, and they are full every day.
Almost everyone in the county knows that there is a braised food shop on Yuanbao Street in the county that serves delicious food.
The braised food shop and Deshenglou seem to be tied together. Deshenglou proves that the braised food shop sells top-quality braised food, and the braised food shop, in turn, proves that Deshenglou only sells delicious food.
Due to this win-win effect, Deshenglou has a booming business every day and there are long queues in front of the braised food shop.
Liu Xiaoru originally wanted to hire a few helpers and use the three large pots in the backyard of the shop to cook, so that she could sell eight pots of braised food a day.
But he was stopped by Gu Mingda.
His reason was simple: "First, there are too many people and if someone steals the recipe, it will not be worth it. Second, scarcity makes things valuable. Selling too much is not good. Our shop does not sell overnight marinated food. If we can't sell it all one day, the remaining marinated food will be wasted."
The Gu family now sells five pots of braised food, two of which are sold to individual customers every day, and three are sold to restaurants, including two at Deshenglou and one at Chunfenglou.
Liu Xiaoru was a person who listened to advice, and in the end she didn't dwell on this issue anymore. Now she sold five pots a day, and her family earned a lot of money.
But Liu Xiaoru still had her own troubles, complaining: "Other restaurants also want to buy our braised food. I really don't want to sell it to Cheng. He comes to the store every now and then to bother me. I get annoyed when I see him."
Zhang Yunniang looked at her distressedly, but still advised: "In business, trust and loyalty are the foundation. Since we have already agreed on it, it is not easy to change your words."
Liu Xiaoru started almost from scratch, learning how to be a businesswoman. She naturally understood this principle, but it was just a waste of time for her to complain.
"I will take care of the shop for the time being. You should have a good rest. If Mr. Cheng really comes, I will send him away." Zhang Yunniang said.
Liu Xiaoru shook her head and said, "It's okay. I'll let Mrs. Feng deal with him. If he keeps pestering me and saying something, I'll let Mrs. Feng pick up a broom and beat him."
Niuniu, who was eating snacks nearby, immediately became excited when she heard this: "Fight? I want to fight too! I'll protect Aunt Liu!"
Liu Xiaoru was naturally overjoyed when she heard this. She hugged the little girl into her arms and said, "It's a pity that Cheng only comes when Niuniu is going to school. I can't see Niuniu show her power."
Niuniu also had a bitter face when she heard this, but she soon became positive again and said, "When people come, come to Luo's house to find me. I will ask for leave from my husband."
Zhang Yunniang reached out and tapped her daughter's smooth and fair forehead: "I didn't agree that you could just take a leave and not study!"
When Niu Niu heard this, she was about to argue with her mother.
A familiar voice sounded outside: "Xiao Ru."
Liu Xiaoru hated Cheng He to the point that she felt sick just hearing his voice.
Niuniu suddenly climbed up from her arms and nimbly rushed to the corner. The little man who was not as tall as the table raised a broom that was almost as tall as himself and shouted at Cheng He:
"Don't bother Aunt Liu!"
Niu Niu stood at the door of the shop, thinking that she was the only one who could block the passage of ten thousand.
But in everyone's eyes, she looked like a jumping kitten.
Cheng He really didn't take it seriously. Instead, he walked around him and headed towards Liu Xiaoru: "Xiaoru, since we are so close, why don't you give me a little more..."
"Don't bother Aunt Liu! I'll hit you, hit you, hit you!" The little kitten Niu Niu raised the broom and hit her.
Cheng He didn't expect that Niu Niu would hit him as soon as she said so.
The child's random attack was actually not difficult to deal with. Cheng He snatched the broom and pulled Niu Niu, causing her to stagger and almost fall to the ground.
Liu Xiaoru rushed over in a hurry and hit him on the head: "Cheng, come at me if you dare! What's the point of bullying a child!"
Cheng He was completely stunned. He remembered that he had been careful enough and did not do anything to Niu Niu at all.
"I didn't hit her, I really didn't hit her!" Cheng He explained anxiously.
