Gu Nian looked at Princess Jinghe and said, "Sister Zhen, you really should do business with our family!"
Gu Hui: "You're absolutely right! Going to the camp would be such a waste of your time!"
Huo Yanyu: "Sister Zhen's idea is truly ingenious!"
Gu Si: "Yes, yes, what you all said makes a lot of sense!"
Princess Jinghe waved her hand modestly, "Oh dear! Our Kangwang Mansion is rich enough. My parents and younger brother have been squandering money for so long and still haven't finished. If I work harder to earn money, wouldn't that leave no way for other merchants to survive?"
Everyone: "..."
...
Within just three days of opening, more and more people from neighboring countries began to enter through the west gate.
One reason is for hot pot, and the other is for strong liquor.
The recipe for the strong liquor in Gu Shouxin's hand was truly potent. Gu Nian once took a small sip and was immediately burned by the spiciness. She estimated it to be over fifty degrees. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, where most liquors were in the twenties, Gu Shouxin's liquor was indeed a strong liquor.
There are over fifty jars available, with limited daily sales of two jars per day. Once they're sold out, they're gone; there are so many people scrambling to get them.
Of course, Gu Shouxin's jars weren't the kind you could lift with one hand; they were more like vats than jars. Each jar could hold dozens of small jars that weighed about a pound.
This is the wine he had brewed this year. He started preparing it after the people from his estate in Qingzhou arrived in the spring. He has a large wine cellar outside the city, and apart from the people on the estate who brew wine for him, probably no one knows how much he has left.
Anyway, Gu Shouxin gave Grandpa Gu a definite answer: two jars a day, and there would be no shortage.
Others wouldn't dare cause trouble at the restaurant and demand more drinks, but General Peng did!
Ever since he failed to get any wine on the third day after the restaurant opened, he has been clinging to Gu Shouxin.
Basically, I want to drink.
Gu Shouxin said the same thing: "Two jars a day. If you can't get one, there's nothing I can do. Your Peng residence is so close to the restaurant, how come you can't even get one jar of wine?"
General Peng refused to accept it, insisting that he wanted it!
I want to drink it myself, and I also want to use your wine when I hold my grandson's wedding. My family doesn't want any dowry, we just want your wine, is that okay?
Gu Shouxin was speechless.
My niece's parents are still alive. You're telling me the marriage isn't suitable? Why don't you go find my older brother and sister-in-law instead!
General Peng is being unreasonable. Your elder brother is in Chunnan City, and your sister-in-law can't make the decision.
Gu Shouxin said, "Then you should have your eldest daughter-in-law come and talk to my sister-in-law! Or when your eldest brother comes back, you can have General Peng and Madam Peng come over, and the four of them can talk while you talk to my parents. Anyway, you can't cling to me."
Upon hearing this, General Peng thought, "Hey, is Gu Er reminding me to keep proposing marriage?"
Well, Gu Er, you haven't even been in the capital for a few days, and you've already learned all the roundabout ways of those civil officials there. They don't speak their minds directly. How boring.
However, General Peng still went back and told his son and daughter-in-law.
The next day, when Uncle Gu returned from Chunnan City with the vegetables the restaurant needed in the past few days, the Peng family gatekeeper went back to report the news. Then, that very evening, the Peng family came to the Gu family again to propose marriage.
There wasn't anyone in Kuncheng qualified to be a matchmaker for Peng Ze and Gu Hui, so both families were straightforward and went straight to a meeting.
Last time, Grandpa Gu asked Gu Hui what she thought, and when the Peng family came again, she agreed.
The Peng family was all military personnel, so they were very efficient. They had already prepared the betrothal gift list and brought it over.
Since the last time, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu have prepared a dowry for Gu Hui. They thought that the two children were not young anymore, so they came to discuss it!
