It rained for three days in a row, and all the mountain roads in Gujiagang were already full of mud.

There were potholes everywhere, and the villagers were miserable.

"Hey, why is it still raining?! If it continues like this, we don't know if there will be a flood in our area..."

Hearing Gu Yu'an's sigh, Chen Xuanxuan was helpless. The will of

heaven is unpredictable.

How can mortals predict what the heaven will do?

However, thinking that some rivers will really flood in a while, the court will definitely come to recruit civilians to dig ditches and carry mud. Chen Xuanxuan immediately went to find Gu Yanzhang and said to him, "Boss, we have to make some preparations during this period!"

Gu Yanzhang heard the anxiety written on her face and was surprised, "What have you thought of?"

Chen Xuanxuan looked into his eyes and said seriously, "Boss, have you forgotten that in ten days or half a month, our family will have to respond to the government and bring our own dry food to serve?"

"I have already stockpiled more than 200 kilograms of ginger and more than 100 kilograms of chili powder. When the time comes, when you lead your family to dig mud or do other work, you can eat more."

"I have processed the ginger slices. After they are carefully fried, you can leave them for ten days or half a month, and they will not mold. If you eat them directly, they will be a little spicy and your body will easily get hot."

Knowing that his wife did these things properly, Gu Yanzhang responded quickly.

"Wife, I trust you to do everything."

As he said this, he took the bright red ginger from his wife's hand. This ginger was fried with salt, and it was spicy and salty.

Thinking of the heavy rain, his whole body was wet, and his bones were soaked with cold rain and the cold breath, but after eating such a piece of ginger, his whole body was warm. Now Gu Yanzhang, who is very business-minded, couldn't help but mentioned it to Chen Xuanxuan, "Wife, what do you say, we go out and sell this kind of ginger in such weather?"

Chen Xuanxuan was also a little excited after hearing this.

"Great! Why didn't I think of it before?"

"Boss, it's better to do it today than to choose a day. Why don't you go to the county town tomorrow to have a look?"

"By the way, when you go to sell my ginger slices, you must give some to Captain Huang and the county magistrate. And, when you give it to them, don't say it's a local specialty here. Just say it's a Chinese medicine that has been carefully prepared through dozens of processes. This medicine has extremely good effects on removing rheumatism and relieving pain, such as lumbar disc herniation, leg pain, back pain, waist pain, colds and fever and other minor ailments..."

"This stuff can play a preventive role if you take it regularly. It can also help people replenish their physical strength..."

After hearing what Chen Xuanxuan said, Gu Yanzhang quickly realized that his wife was trying to fool him again!

He has been with his wife for so many years. Since he found out that his wife had found her way and was slowly starting a business, she has become more and more eloquent.

Or, in other words, she has become more and more courageous.

You know, in the past, Gu Yanzhang never dared to associate his homemade buns with any dignitaries. However, since he was brainwashed by his wife (she repeatedly emphasized that it was just cultural influence and employee training), Gu Yanzhang found that he was getting more and more courageous.

He now sells buns, and while selling them, he tells all kinds of stories about buns to those foodies in the county.

For example, a long time ago, more than a thousand years ago, there was an emperor who went to the south of the Yangtze River six times (Gu Yanzhang had never been to school, and he had no idea that the so-called historical stories told by Chen Xuanxuan actually never happened in his era. However, Chen Xuanxuan was very good at telling stories, and she often amazed the audience. Even the real scholars in other counties sometimes wondered if they were not serious about studying.)

...

Gu Yanzhang now always introduces to people that the emperor who went to the south of the Yangtze River six times met a strange man who made steamed buns during his trip.

Since the emperor ate the steamed buns, he has been obsessed with them and praised them endlessly.

The common people like to watch and listen to the excitement. Knowing that such a snack that costs only a few coins is praised and liked by the emperor, they naturally like this little thing.

Because of the benefits of the promotion, Gu Yanzhang remembered all the words that Chen Xuanxuan said in his heart. After reciting them by heart, he really took several sons with him and went to the county town early the next morning. After he

went there, he said to his sons, "Your mother has been thinking about it for a while, and recently she has come up with a new dish. It is also a medicine to prevent colds and typhoid fever. We have to go to Captain Huang today and deliver all the good things..."

The five fathers and sons talked all the way to the gatehouse of Captain Huang in the county town.

After knocking on his door, the gatekeeper, Old Huang, came over limping and panting.

He frowned and opened the door, and immediately saw Gu Yanzhang's smiling face.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person.

Gu Yanzhang smiled so sincerely, and called him "Brother Huang" in a friendly way, so Old Huang, who originally wanted to get angry at him, immediately said, "Are you here?"

Gu Yanzhang said, "Of course you're not coming?"

"Brother Huang, I see that you look pale today, and your hands and feet are shaking. It seems that you are not feeling well..."

Hearing his concern, the gatekeeper, Old Huang's eyes were red and he almost shed tears.

He waved his hands with a look of sadness, choking with sobs, "Don't mention it!"

"Brother Gu, you see I'm already so old. Some time ago, I finally found a boy in the clan who could break pots for me and inherit the incense of my branch. But who knew that he seemed to have contracted a strange disease recently. I have spent a lot of money on him, but his health is still not getting better."

"..."

Hearing this, Gu Yanzhang's mind immediately turned.

He thought to himself, do your best and leave the rest to fate.

Now I can just sell him the ginger made by my wife.

If that person's health gets better, they will definitely appreciate his kindness. They think that this ginger has miraculous effects. Just eat it.

If that person's health does not get better. Then, he will not lose out.

At least he could tell Old Man Huang, "King Yan ordered him to die at three o'clock in the morning, how could he keep him alive until five o'clock?"

If it really doesn't work, he can also preach to him the truth that "everything is determined by fate, and nothing can be decided by man".
