When Gu Erniu and his two siblings heard Gu Lili say this, they were stunned for a moment. They thought Gu Lili would agree.
After all, this is his own uncle, so naturally he needs help!
The three of them couldn't understand why their uncles and maternal grandparents were so good to them, yet their sister didn't help them.
Li Ershu was slapped by Old Madam Gu and quickly covered his head.
Upon hearing Gu Lili's words, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
Li Ershu was only asking around, so it's understandable that Gu Lili disagreed.
After all, this is their livelihood, and naturally they don't want others to get a share.
Grandma Li agreed with Gu Lili's words. If this were given to Li Ershu, her eldest daughter-in-law would definitely make a fuss about wanting it too.
This is too much trouble for Lili and the others. Although she really wants to earn money, she can't make things difficult for her grandchildren.
"Second Uncle, we supply this candy to the shops in the nearby towns. If you try to sell it at a lower price than the shops, people will definitely come after you. If you offer the same price as them, people will definitely choose the shops first, since they have shops there and everything is guaranteed. Why don't I teach you a new way to do business?" Gu Lili explained with a smile.
Gu Lili had long wanted to help her maternal grandmother's family, but she was afraid that Old Mrs. Li would disagree.
Now that her second uncle has brought this up, Gu Lili is still very happy.
Gu Lili was naturally happy to help her second uncle, who wanted to make money.
However, what Gu Lili said was indeed true.
Upon hearing Gu Lili's words, Gu Erniu and his sister immediately broke into smiles.
They said their sister wouldn't be that kind of person.
My sister always asks them to send any good food she has to my grandparents; she must be thinking of them too.
Upon hearing Gu Lili's words, Li Ershu blushed instantly.
It turned out that he had misunderstood Gu Lili; he thought Lili didn't want him to sell candy.
“Lili, this is too much trouble for you. You don’t need to worry about these things for us. Your second uncle just talks nonsense all day long. You don’t need to take it to heart,” said Grandma Li disapprovingly.
Gu Lili waved her hand dismissively, saying, "Grandma, we're family, so there's no need to talk about trouble or not!"
Gu Lili smiled and turned to Li Ershu, saying, "Second Uncle, if you want to learn, you might have to stay at my house for a few days. Do you have time?"
Li Ershu nodded repeatedly, saying, "I have time, I have time!"
Seeing this, Old Mrs. Li stopped talking. Her second son was already eighteen years old and still not married.
His third son is a year younger than him, and he is also unmarried.
Grandma Li knew very well that her two sons were still single because her family was poor.
She may sometimes be too afraid of bothering others, but she should try to change that.
My daughter just took after me in this way, but isn't that how family members help and trouble each other? That's how the relationship deepens.
Seeing that his mother no longer refused, Li Ershu knew that this meant she had agreed.
His smile grew even brighter; he wasn't going to take advantage of Lili for nothing.
When I earn money, I will definitely pay it back double.
My parents are getting old, and they can only make ends meet by working in the fields.
He must work hard to earn money so that his parents can live in a new house before they die.
After discussing the matter, Old Mrs. Li prepared to return home.
Gu Erniu drove the oxcart to take Old Lady Li back home, just as Li Ershu was returning home to collect some clean clothes.
Before Gu Erniu left, Gu Lili gave him a list and asked him to go to Donghai Town to bring back some glutinous rice.
If you look closely at this form, you'll find that the stamp on it is the same as the one given to Zheng Qian.
After Gu Erniu and the others left, Gu Lili took Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou to pick peach blossoms.
Gu Lili thought that while there were still peach blossoms these days, she could make more peach blossom wine and sell it.
They can definitely make another fortune.
Peach blossom wine is not easy to preserve. After this busy period, Gu Lili thought she could brew some other wines to sell.
Because this was the last time they were brewing wine this year, Gu Lili shook the peach blossoms almost completely clean.
"Huanhuan, Sigou, shake it hard!" Gu Lili said with great enthusiasm.
Luckily, this peach tree is wild; otherwise, if the owner saw it, they would be heartbroken.
The two nodded and, imitating Gu Lili, started shaking their heads wildly.
After shaking for more than an hour, I had shaken up almost a whole basket of flower petals.
Gu Lili then took the two of them home.
After resting at home for a while, Gu Lili, along with Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou, washed the peach blossoms.
They picked a lot of flower petals this time; they could probably brew more than 200 jin of wine.
Yesterday, I didn't make peach blossom wine for the village head. Perfect timing, I'll make some this time and send some to him.
Just as the flower petals were drying, Gu Erniu and Li Ershu returned.
Gu Erniu and Li Ershu carried the glutinous rice down, and Gu Lili found a bucket to soak the glutinous rice.
"Second Uncle, come here, I'll teach you how to make money!" Gu Lili said with a smile as she called Li Ershu over.
Soaking glutinous rice takes some time, and it's too early for dinner, so I decided to teach Li Ershu how to do it.
Gu Erniu and his sister also gathered around, wanting to see how Gu Lili would teach her second uncle.
Gu Lili took out a marble slab that she had prepared in advance and placed it on her backpack.
Then they took out the maltose.
The maltose has now solidified and needs to be heated to melt it before it can be handled.
"Huanhuan, go start the fire, I'll boil some water," Gu Lili said to Gu Huanhuan.
Just as Gu Huanhuan was about to get up, Li Ershu pressed her down and made her sit down.
"Huanhuan, your second uncle is here!" Li Ershu said with a grin.
I came here to learn how to make money, so I can't be lazy. I should do what I can myself.
Before Huanhuan could say anything, Li Ershu trotted into the kitchen.
Gu Lili shook her head, smiled, and followed her inside.
Li Ershu quickly added some water to the pot, and when he saw Gu Lili arrive, he hurriedly asked, "Lili, is there enough water?"
Seeing Gu Lili nod, Li Ershu then lit the fire.
The water boiled quickly, so Gu Lili placed the bowl of sugar in the pot to heat it over the water.
"Second Uncle, watch carefully! This water can't go into the bowl; it's heated by heating it over a double boiler!"
