Gu Yanzhang had understood before that if he wanted to live well and comfortably in this world, the prerequisite was to have enough money.

And how should he make money?

He had been thinking about this problem seriously in the past few years.

He couldn't figure out this problem at first. Later, after doing a lot of business in the county, dealing with many people, and seeing a lot of the market, he slowly figured it out.

If you want to live in this world peacefully and steadily, if you want to make a small fortune and not worry about food and drink, you must either have a skill, be able to do things, cook, and be a good person. Otherwise, you can rely on strong connections. You are born into a good family and are born into a royal family or an official family.

Gu Yanzhang knew very well that a family like him could not dream of becoming a royal descendant.

Unless he could rise up in a time of chaos and become the leader. He could lead troops and kill people everywhere and then secure his throne.

So in times of peace, he could only think hard about how to learn real skills and acquire a special skill. Then let others pay for him willingly.

This person can't live without clothing, food, shelter and transportation.

Gu Yanzhang knew very well that he couldn't be a weaver, a tailor, or a bricklayer. He couldn't be a bodyguard of an escort agency who was always on the move.

Because their family didn't have such a family craft, nor did they have such social connections. With

such a meager family background, he had no other choice but to work hard on food.

As the saying goes, food is the first necessity of the people.

Everyone living in this world needs to eat and drink.

Gu Yanzhang felt that if his family could continue to make food and buy food steadily, then their family would have a legacy!

As long as the family has a legacy, under normal circumstances, it would be more comfortable and better than those farmers who simply dig for food in the fields!

As a farmer himself, he had suffered for decades and endured decades of hardship. He once thought seriously about why his life was so miserable.

Later, he slowly figured it out. Farmers who have been working around those few acres of land all year round and looking to the sky for food every day, what else can they do besides farming?

The simple means of survival are destined to be the tragedy of people like him.

When he thought of this, Gu Yanzhang looked at his wife with bright eyes and said, "Wife, since you want to make fish balls, let's start today."

"The sooner we do this, the sooner we can make money."

Seeing her husband with bright eyes thinking about getting rich, Chen Xuanxuan smiled knowingly at that time.

"Boss, you should leave tomorrow."

"But before you go, you'd better tell our sons about this."

Hearing this, Gu Yanzhang thought for a moment and nodded gently.

"Okay. I'll call them over now." When

Gu Dazhu, Gu Sanzhu, and Gu Sizhu were called into the room by Gu Yanzhang, their faces were tense and their eyes were full of doubts.

"Dad, what are we here for, Ming Cult?"

Gu Yanzhang looked at his eldest son and said, "What can I do? Isn't it because I want you to follow me to the county town early tomorrow morning?"

"Go to the county town? Dad, what are we going to do there?" Worried that his father would be like those other families, selling all the food in the family for such a small amount of money, Gu Sanzhu started to yell anxiously.

Seeing his impatience, Gu Yanzhang said softly, "...can you speak in a softer tone? What can I do? Can't you use your brain to think about it?"

"..."

Being speechless, no one present dared to speak.

"…As for me, I've recently seen many people in the village exchanging grain for salted fish, and I think this deal is a good one."

"If we can exchange more salted fish, we can save money on buying salt, and we can eat fish every day."

When everyone present heard this, before they had time to express their opinions, Gu Yanzhang's father, Gu Yu'an, stormed in angrily.

"Son, do you want me, your father, to be gone?"

"…Ha, no, no, Dad, don't think too much."

Gu Yu'an: "Then why didn't you call me when you discussed important matters?"

Gu Yanzhang thought to himself, aren't you worried that you would make trouble?

Seeing his son suddenly stop talking, Gu Yu'an felt particularly uncomfortable. He had a bitter face, frowned tightly, and his eyes were red.

He felt that his son just didn't like him and was rejecting him.

Thinking that he was particularly unpopular when he got older, and was even rejected by his own son, he felt particularly uncomfortable.

"Son, you will also get old one day!"

"Can you put yourself in his shoes? If one day you are old and useless, and your sons also dislike you and don't call you over to discuss things, what do you think you will think?"

Being scolded by his father, Gu Yanzhang felt ashamed.

He didn't mean it just now, he was just reacting subconsciously.

He would be particularly unhappy if he was really abandoned by his sons when he was older. As he

thought about it, he suddenly had an idea that since his sons were unreliable, he must be nicer to him when he was young.

Just when Gu Yanzhang was distracted, Chen Xuanxuan took the initiative to bring the subject back.

"Well, ... Dad, my husband didn't mean it just now. Please bear with me." "

He was just thinking about using the little money left at home to buy some more food in the county town, and then use the food to exchange for a large amount of salted fish."

Gu Yu'an is a particularly stingy person.

He likes to be calculative and frugal in everything he does.

When he heard his son and daughter-in-law say that they were going to spend the last bit of money in the family to buy food in the county town, and then use the food to exchange for salted fish, he felt particularly unhappy.

"What's the matter? Don't we have enough food at home?"

Seeing her father-in-law say this in a vicious voice, Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but stand aside and curl her lips. Is

there enough food at home? Don't you know, you good money-spending boy?

If it weren't for you, the family should have been able to store enough food.

The food is enough for their whole family to spend the next spring safely.
