Seeing the 60-year-old man in front of him nodding and saying "very good" repeatedly, Gu Yanzhang grinned and said, "It's also thanks to you, Boss Yan, that you are willing to come and enjoy it..." "

Boss Yan, since you think my buns are good, why don't you buy a few more this time? You and I have been doing business for a while, and I am very generous when it comes to prices. If you buy a lot, like the sauerkraut bun just now, I will charge you one cent each. And the pumpkin bun is also one cent each..."

"Actually, I have other flavors here..."

Just when Gu Yanzhang was enthusiastically promoting, Boss Yan said to him, "...Okay!"

"Give me 100 of your pickled cabbage buns. And 50 of your pumpkin buns. Send them all to my restaurant. When the items are delivered, you can directly settle the bill with my shopkeeper."

After saying this, Boss Yan left with a servant.

Looking at his thin back, Gu Yanzhang sighed in his heart, "...It seems that the life of rich people is not so comfortable..."

Since he started doing business with Boss Yan, he found that he never had a day to rest all day long. He

is already an elderly man, and he still has to travel around for business. It's not easy!

...

When Gu Yanzhang delivered more than a hundred buns to Boss Yan's Yanji Restaurant, the shopkeeper who was cleaning the bill inside also noticed him.

"Gu family boy, are you here to deliver food again today?"

"Let me tell you, the pickled vegetables you make are really good, but we really don't need them these days..."

Gu Yanzhang smiled shyly and said, "Boss, I'm not here to deliver sauerkraut today, but steamed buns. Boss Yan just ordered 150 buns from me. 100 sauerkraut buns, 50 pumpkin buns...are these all fresh and hot. Shall I deliver the hot buns now?"

When the traveling merchants who were eating in Yan's Restaurant heard that there was still fresh food, some of them raised their throats and said loudly, "Give me ten buns! Five sauerkraut buns, five pumpkin buns..."

Hearing that some diners wanted to eat, the shopkeeper didn't dare to refuse.

After asking Gu Yanzhang to quickly serve the man 10 buns, he asked the waiters in the shop to bring all the buns that Gu Yanzhang had sent.

He learned that each bun cost one penny. The shopkeeper did not cheat him.

After the kitchen gave Gu Yanzhang a silver coin, he handed him 50 copper coins.

"Gu family boy, come here and sign here. Our account for today will be settled."

After Gu Yanzhang signed, he took the money and went out.

Then, he started to sell buns along the street.

Tongzhen is a very prosperous place with many people doing business.

Once there are more people doing business, business opportunities will come.

In less than one morning, all the 300-odd buns that Gu Yanzhang brought were sold out.

He earned 300 yuan a day, and after deducting the necessary costs, Gu Yanzhang felt that he had earned more than 100 yuan a day.

After earning so much money, he suddenly realized that it would be more profitable to run a small business than to carry bags for others and do hard labor at the dock.

When he thought of this, Gu Yanzhang had an idea. He felt that he didn't need to do that kind of heavy physical work in the future.

It was thankless and he didn't make any money.

If he accidentally got sick and had a fever, the money he earned from working wouldn't even cover the money for medicine.

With so much money, Gu Yanzhang followed Chen Xuanxuan's request and bought several feet of blue cloth in the town, as well as 50 kilograms of soybeans, three kilograms of black sesame seeds, and 10 kilograms of glutinous rice. After

buying these things, he spent all the money he earned today.

Seeing that his son spent all the money he earned today, Gu Yu'an felt very distressed.

"Son, I know that business is good today and we made some money, but no matter what, our family is not a wealthy family. The money is not much, why did you spend it all at once?"

Gu Yanzhang listened, endured it, and threw out a sentence directly. "This is what your daughter-in-law specifically asked for. She asked us to buy it, not to eat it. As the saying goes, you have to give to gain. If we don't spend money to buy these things, then how are we going to make money when the time comes?"

Gu Yu'an didn't listen to this at all. Because he was thinking that the money earned by this family must be saved, and more must be saved, and less must be spent, and it is best not to spend money.

But Gu Yanzhang was thinking in his heart that last night, his wife said that if he earned money today, bought glutinous rice and soybeans, then their whole family could make tofu skin again.

Especially the glutinous rice made of Shaomai. This thing is as delicious as steamed buns. If it is sold, the profit may be a little higher than the buns.

Thinking that he will definitely make more money in the future, Gu Yanzhang comforted his father.

"Dad, the soybeans I bought are for making tofu. This year, our family didn't have time to plant beans. Next spring, we will open up a few more acres of wasteland and plant more beans, so we don't have to spend this money to buy soybeans."

Gu Yu'an nodded heavily when he heard this. "It should have been done a long time ago."

"Son, after this winter, let's let your wife quickly find wives for all our grandsons. This way, our family can have a few more money-making laborers for free. With the help of those grandsons' wives, even if your wife is lazy and does not do anything, our family can still make a good living..."

After hearing this, Gu Yanzhang could not help but retort. "Dad, can you pay more attention when you talk? When did my wife become lazy and quit? Isn't she busy all day long?"

Hearing him say this, Gu Yu'an couldn't help but look at him, "Come on! Don't I know your wife's temper?"

"She just wants to be lazy all day long. She has so many excuses."

"Think about it yourself, how many times has she forced us to take a bath recently? How many times has she washed our hair? How much water has been wasted? How much firewood has been wasted?"

"Our granddaughter, who is only a few years old, is always around the stone mill, grinding soybeans there. And your daughter-in-law, apart from cooking meals for our family, does less than the children..."

When he said this, Gu Yu'an felt a fire burning in his heart.

In the past, he had a hard time, and he could turn a blind eye to his daughter-in-law's lazy behavior.
