Gu Chengyu then revealed his true purpose, saying, "I am not trying to steal your secret recipe, but the porcelain made in Hexi Village is very popular in the capital. Are you interested in developing a business and supplying it directly to the royal family? If the quality is up to standard, you can become a royal merchant."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Taohua had a brain storm and was almost about to hit Gu Chengyu.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation..."
"You are good to begin with."
“…” I was so flattered that my legs went weak.
"Think about it carefully. This is the reason why I came here. I also want to try to secure more milk soap and vanishing cream for the capital, so that the maids in the mansion won't have to fight over such a small thing."
Gu Chengyu said half-jokingly.
"I will go back and think about this carefully."
"I have nothing else to do here, but you would like to see your braised meat shop?" Gu Chengyu suddenly asked.
"certainly."
After finishing their conversation, Zhao Taohua and her daughter accompanied Gu Chengyu to their newly opened braised meat shop. The owner of the shop was Li Erniu.
After all, Zhao Sanzhu was too busy. He opened up businesses with various people and his business grew bigger and bigger over the years. The Zhao family bought big houses in Zuozhou Prefecture, Xiaozhou Prefecture, and their county town.
As the old couple of the Zhao family said, there is no place like home, and they always want to go back to Hexi Village, their own house.
So she would only stay in these big houses occasionally when she came over, and Zhao Taohua also particularly liked the humane Hexi Village.
"Aunt, Taohua, you guys were shopping, why are you back so soon?" Li Erniu was very busy and asked his men to greet the guests before he had time to talk to Zhao Taohua and the others.
When she looked up at this moment, she found that Zhao Taohua was followed by a handsome young man of noble status. When he came in, the whole room seemed to be brighter.
The key is that this person looks familiar.
“You, you, you…”
Li Erniu thought for a long time, then suddenly slapped his forehead and remembered, "You are not the live-in son-in-law before Taohua. I heard from the villagers that you couldn't let go of your childhood sweetheart from your hometown and ran away in the middle of the night. How did you become rich?"
Zhao Taohua: “…”
Gu Chengyu: “…”
Everyone was silent because of Li Erniu.
"Well, your identity wasn't easy to reveal at the time, so people were saying all sorts of things. I thought any explanation would be a cover-up, so I didn't say much. I thought it would be over soon, but I didn't expect..."
Zhao Taohua hurriedly explained haltingly.
Gu Chengyu finally saw the panic on her face, and his mood gradually changed from weird to funny. "It's okay, they don't know what's going on. Um, Brother Erniu, right? I didn't run away. I just went home for something, and now I'm here again."
Li Erniu, despite his quick tongue, guessed he had made a mistake and gave an awkward smile, "It's good that you're back. Do you still want to be Taohua's live-in son-in-law? You don't know, the Zhao family's door was trampled down, and the marriage proposals almost got into a fight. Taohua has been thinking about you all the time, and no one agreed."
Zhao Taohua: "..." Do you want me to chop you to death?
Old Mrs. Zhao was furious: "Erniu, if you can't speak, stop talking and get back to work. I made you the shopkeeper, not here to stir up trouble, bang bang bang..."
"oh."
Li Erniu had no choice but to nod and leave.
Zhao Taohua gave Gu Chengyu an awkward smile, "Well, you country bumpkin, you can't talk, please don't..."
"I don't blame him, nor do I blame you. I just didn't miss him. How come you still miss me?" Gu Chengyu laughed.
Zhao Taohua's mother tongue instantly turned into speechless.
