In this feudal and backward ancient society, everyone knows that people without money can hardly move forward.
Those without money cannot live in a spacious, bright, and well-protected house. They cannot marry a wife, let alone have children.
However, the lives of those with money are different.
After knowing how important money is, almost all of the brothers in the Gu family, except for the youngest Gu Sizhu, are thinking that in the future, their father will definitely pass on the family's craftsmanship to future generations.
The skill of making steamed buns has been passed on to Gu Dazhu exactly as it is
. Gu Erzhu has completely mastered the skill
of making tofu. As for the skills of making sausages and ginger, Gu Yanzhang and Chen Xuanxuan did not tell them.
However, the brothers knew in their hearts which of these was the most profitable.
For example, raising pigs to make sausages was very profitable.
And making ginger slices...
Gu Dazhu and Gu Erzhu paid close attention to it and found that if ginger slices were really sold as medicine, it would be like selling gold.
"Dad, since we can make a lot of money doing this, let's just sell ginger slices in the future!"
"I think selling buns and the like can make some money, but it's still too hard. You have to get up early and stay up late every day. You have to get up before dawn in the morning, and at night, you have to let the donkeys grind the mill under the moonlight..."
Hearing what Gu Dazhu said, Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but retorted to him, "Do you think the current business is so easy?"
"Selling ginger slices is only temporary."
"Ginger is indeed a good thing, but everyone knows that this thing can't be planted too much. Otherwise, it will be very easy to get worms. As long as the ginger turns a little black, the piece we planted will all die. So, the risk of doing this business is really high..."
"But making buns is completely different."
"Boss, as long as our family works hard, the money will definitely accumulate. Little by little, one day, we will be able to build a few new houses..."
Although Gu Dazhu and Gu Erzhu are very young, less than 20 years old, they still have high ambitions.
They all want to make a fortune.
However, they all know that they can't make a fortune now...
Knowing that their father has made up his mind and will not give up the business of selling buns for the time being, nor will he grow ginger on a large scale. Gu Dazhu and Gu Erzhu sighed with some regret.
Although this family made a lot of money today, when they went back, there was not much happiness on their faces.
Noticing that her adopted sons didn't seem very happy after returning home tonight, Chen Xuanxuan mistakenly thought that the ginger slices she made were not sold.
Thinking that Gu Yanzhang and the others had made a wasted trip today, Chen Xuanxuan thought about it and spoke up to persuade them, "Boss, if we can't sell the ginger slices I made, let's just forget about it."
"It's the same if we eat them at home. I didn't come up with this idea to make money. I just feel sorry for you. I'm worried that you'd catch a cold when you do your labor service. I'm also worried that your legs would be ruined by working in the water every day..."
Hearing Chen Xuanxuan's heartfelt words, Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but hug her tightly, "Wife, I know how you feel about me."
After saying this, he gave her all the money he earned today.
"Wife, why are we doing so well today? All the ginger slices you gave me have been sold out! Here are three taels of silver... and another thirty-seven copper plates."
Seeing so much money in front of her, Chen Xuanxuan was so happy.
"Boss, it turns out that the ginger slices I made are really good..."
Gu Yanzhang nodded heavily, "Not just good. They are very good! The doctors in the county said that our ginger not only preserves its medicinal properties, but also makes it taste better. Several drugstore owners also told me that if we still have ginger, we can send some to them..."
Chen Xuanxuan thought to herself, what else is there to send?
The salty ginger and the sweet ginger were all bought by her on the Qiongheihei app!
In order to buy these ginger slices, she spent all the balance she had accumulated from checking in on the app over the years! There
was not much money in her bank card to begin with.
If she had not been frugal and careful with her budget over the years, she might not have been able to hold on!
Thinking that her life was already miserable, she didn't want to add extra labor to herself, so she said to him seriously, "Boss, I think it's really too difficult to make ginger slices."
"It took me a long time to accumulate experience and dozens of processes to make them."
"Since we made a lot of money today, let's take a break. Anyway, all the ginger I planted has been dug up by me. If you want to sell more, you can only wait until next spring."
Gu Yanzhang listened and nodded. He understood very well.
He had guessed it a long time ago. Although ginger slices are easy to sell, the process of making ginger slices must be quite complicated. Otherwise, everyone would be able to do it.
Thinking that his sons wanted to do easy work today and even thought selling buns was too hard, Gu Yanzhang told Chen Xuanxuan everything.
"Wife, I really didn't expect that our eldest son, who we are optimistic about, is actually a person who likes to do easy work and is afraid of hard work."
Chen Xuanxuan asked in surprise, "What's wrong with him? Isn't he the most diligent on weekdays?"
After learning from Gu Yanzhang about what happened today, Chen Xuanxuan looked helpless and shook her head with a smile.
"Boss, this person likes to seek comfort and want to live a good life easily. It's human nature to not want to suffer or lose. However, everyone living in this world knows that life is really not easy."
"The reason why our children look down on selling buns now is mainly because selling buns really can't make much money. It can only allow farmers like us to make a living."
Gu Yanzhang listened and smiled, "Being able to make a living is actually very good. They are still picky... This makes me very uncomfortable."
After Chen Xuanxuan reluctantly comforted him for a few words, she talked about another matter.
"...Boss, to be honest, I think our family should be divided sooner rather than later..."
Gu Yanzhang was confused when he was told to divide the family for no reason.
We were living well, why should we divide the family?
What happened to my wife?
