Chapter 36
"Dad has seen my accounting skills. From now on, I will be the one to do the accounting and manage the money at home. Don't you have any objection?" Gu Xinxin raised an eyebrow and asked. Gu Daniu did not speak. Originally, he trusted Gu Chenshi more, but it was obvious that Gu Chenshi made a huge mistake this time - she should not have secretly taught the Chen family the method of making small fried dough twists, and did not even ask Gu Daniu for help.
Gu Xinxin... He didn't trust her very much, but Gu Xinxin was his daughter, and Gu Xinxin also valued her younger brother Gu Xiangrong very much.
So as long as Gu Xiangrong is still his son, even if Gu Xinxin gets married in the future, she may not be able to escape from his control.
Furthermore, the way to make money still depends on Gu Xinxin.
After pondering these things for only a moment, Gu Daniu nodded: "Okay, I'll let you manage the family's money."
He left Gu Chenshi behind and went to search the house. A moment later, he came out with a clay pot. The moment he saw the pot, Gu Chenshi felt like she was being put into a frying pan. She cried out heartbreakingly, "No, Brother Daniu, you can't do this. Put it down. Please, don't..."
The voice was so miserable that even Second Aunt couldn't help but ask through the wall: "Xinxin, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, my father and stepmother are arguing." Gu Xinxin shouted with a smile, calling the second aunt: "I learned a new way to cook potatoes today, I'll teach it to you now?"
It is similar to wolf tooth potatoes, but this time it is tornado potatoes, which means the potatoes are cut into spiral-shaped slices, fried, and sprinkled with seasoning. The difficulty lies in the knife skills. If you are not careful, the potato slices will easily be cut, and then you will not be able to make a tornado.
Of course, potato chips are just as delicious, but there are still some differences.
The second aunt was immediately delighted: "Really? Then come here, I'll go get the potatoes now."
Gu Xinxin proactively called out to Gu Qiuhe, "Come and help Second Auntie wash the potatoes, or your mother won't vent her anger on you again."
If Gu Chen was deserted by everyone, Gu Xinxin would be the happiest.
Gu Qiuhe hesitated for a moment, but after a moment she quickly stood beside Gu Xinxin. Gu Chenshi was shaking with anger, and then she saw Gu Xinxin come over again and take the earthenware jar from Gu Daniu: "Then I'll put it in my room first."
As for where she put it, she definitely couldn't tell Gu Chenshi. As for Gu Qiuhe... she was just a child, could she really climb up to the beam to see it?
She turned around and got a rope to hang herself up, just like doing yoga, pulling the rope to move upwards. The beams were low now, so she could climb up...right?
He thought about it in his mind, but didn't show it on his face. He put the clay pot in his box for the time being and quickly took Gu Qiuhe to the next door house.
Second Aunt didn't ask about the quarrel between Gu Daniu and Gu Chen. After all, that's how couples are, fighting at the head of the bed and making up at the foot of the bed. As long as no one was killed, it would be better to stay out of other couples' affairs so as not to get into trouble.
She watched Xinxin chopping potatoes with great interest: "This is quite difficult. What is it called? Xuan..."
"Tornado potatoes." Gu Xinxin helped her fill in the blanks and then asked, "My aunt's family is now running their own potato chip business. How do you manage to harvest the potatoes?"
"I contacted the two families in front and behind my house. I don't care how much they charge, I only want two cents per pound." The second aunt said immediately, paused, and added: "Your eldest aunt's family did the same, but she contacted the families of her two daughters-in-law."
In this way, although they may give out more, they save time and manpower. If the money saved is used in business, it will definitely be earned back.
"And I'll wash and peel the potatoes. I'll ask the neighbor next door." Second Auntie added, "Eight copper coins per person per day."
This was inspired by Gu Xinxin. Gu Xinxin and Wang Daya only cost the same price. With one more person to help, Gu Xinxin could make more small fried dough twists.
Gu Xinxin nodded. "That way, everyone in the village can make money. Second Auntie can also find some people to sell potatoes. After all, the seasoning recipe is in your hands. Alternatively, you can separate your eldest cousin and his wife and ask the villagers to help them separately. The men can help your eldest cousin, and the women can help his wife. Two stalls will definitely make more money than one."
The second aunt slapped her thigh and said, "I wouldn't have thought of this if you hadn't told me. Fine, I'll ask your eldest cousin's wife. Don't worry, even if we split the stalls, I'll definitely give you every penny I owe you."
If it's less, Gu Xinxin will feel a rift in her heart and may not help them with advice in the future.
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but reach out and touch Gu Xinxin's head: "How come this little brain has so many good ideas?"
Gu Xinxin smiled and said, "It's the same size as yours, but I got some advice from my mother."
"It's almost the end of the year, so when you visit your mother's grave this year, you have to kowtow to her properly," said the second aunt. Gu Xinxin nodded quickly. "Never mind, it's ancestor worship. She kowtowed a lot in modern times." "A man's knees are made of gold..." That's a man's business. What does it have to do with a girl like her?
She knelt before heaven, earth, ancestors and parents, without feeling wronged at all.
After teaching Second Aunt, Gu Xinxin took Gu Qiuhe home. Gu Qiuhe had a gloomy face, probably because she was still feeling uncomfortable because of what happened just now. Gu Xinxin did not try to comfort her, as she was not idle.
Since she didn't see Gu Chen when she entered the Gu family, Gu Xinxin ordered Gu Qiuhe to boil water. She was also busy preparing things for the next day and washing the clothes from the day. In short, she didn't want to use Gu Qiuhe as a child laborer in vain, so she also helped Gu Qiuhe wash clothes.
Gu Wenshu and Gu Xiangrong came back late. When they entered the house, they found the atmosphere at home unusual, so they asked quietly.
Gu Xinxin didn't hide it. As she spoke, she carefully observed Gu Wenshu's expression. She saw that Gu Wenshu was first angry, then embarrassed, and then silent. Then, he angrily put down his bowl and chopsticks and rushed to the main room: "Mom, how could you do this! When you went to the Chen family, did you ever think of me?"
Gu Xinxin burst out laughing and poked Gu Xiangrong: "Look, I have already regarded this Gu family as my own."
Gu Xiangrong comforted her: "It's okay, I will make a bigger one for you in the future. Do you still need to learn to read today?"
Gu Xinxin cheered up: "Admit it, come on, teach me everything you have learned." In order not to be illiterate, she worked very hard.
Gu Xiangrong took a branch and scratched on the ground: "I learned a few words today..."
He read out one by one, because he was going to come back to teach Gu Xinxin, so he was extremely serious and hardworking in school, for fear that he would remember it wrong and teach it wrong again when he came back. Then his sister would be embarrassed outside, and he would also be embarrassed.
