When Gu Yu'an returned home, it was already evening.

After he handed all the things he bought to Chen Xuanxuan, he said happily,

"It's better to do business to make money..."

"Working for others, the money you earn is pitiful. Not only do you have to read people's faces, but sometimes you have to beg for money. Otherwise, people will deliberately pay less. Or even give you nothing..."

When he thought about how he encountered many setbacks and suffered a lot of losses in society when he was young, Gu Yu'an sighed softly.

Feeling that Gu Yu'an was suddenly unhappy after making money, Chen Xuanxuan smiled and replied, "Isn't that true?"

"Boss, I actually think that doing business is not that simple..."

"Just because it's easy to make money today doesn't mean it will be easy to make money tomorrow."

"Like the buns in our family,... it's because you met a good man like Boss Yan. If you hadn't met him today, and he didn't buy more than a hundred buns from us. Then the more than 300 buns you brought today might not be sold out!"

"So, our family still has to make progress in the future, and we still have to sell more variety. When you sell buns, you can also sell some side dishes and tofu. The fermented tofu and tofu skin we make are still very delicious."

"Besides, I'm thinking that when we have money in the future, we'll have to buy a big stone mill. And then buy a donkey. In this way, we can make more tofu, and then we can make tofu-filled buns. And the donkey we bought can carry you to the county town every day..."

Although Chen Xuanxuan was talking about some daily matters, Gu Yu'an still listened very carefully. He felt very relieved.

The family should buy a big stone mill. They have to grind sorghum flour and soybeans every day.

A toy stone mill for a kid can't do anything big.

These kids grind three pounds of flour a day, which is already quite diligent.

Thinking of this, Gu Yu'an nodded readily, "When our family earns more money in the future, we should indeed buy a stone mill and a donkey."

Gu Yu'an, who was sitting aside, added a handful of firewood to the stove in a distracted manner.

To be honest, he really didn't like his son and daughter-in-law to spend money lavishly.

A brand new large stone mill would cost at least 800 coins! That is nearly one or two taels of silver.

It took a family of more than 20 people half a year to earn such a large amount of money.

Gu Yu'an felt that even if his family had a few taels of silver on hand, they had to save it.

Moreover, he thought that donkeys and the like should not be bought.

Because all the work at home can be done by his whole family.

Even if they reclaim ten more acres of land next year, they can't handle it now. In fact, he can let his daughter-in-law come to farm together.

In the past, when his daughter-in-law was at home, she didn't show off her money-making skills. But, she is like an old donkey. When she is at home, she can do all kinds of work.

Unfortunately, in the past six months or so, his daughter-in-law's mentality has changed. She

doesn't want to do anything.

She just opens her mouth and talks about this and that. She only thinks about spending money all day long.

Thinking that his daughter-in-law is becoming less and less competent, Gu Yu'an suddenly said something angrily.

"Daughter-in-law, don't forget that our family still owes more than two taels of silver to your brothers from your mother's side. How much will it cost to buy a donkey for the millstone?"

"When will we be able to pay off your family's debt?"

Chen Xuanxuan felt that her father-in-law's tone was a bit aggressive, so she looked at him seriously.

"Father-in-law, are my parents asking for payment? Why are you so anxious?"

"Isn't it just two taels of silver? Your son can even afford a new house now, are you still worried that our family can't come up with two taels of silver?"

"We made more than 300 coins today. After deducting all those miscellaneous costs, we make about 200 coins a day. I'm not saying that we make 200 coins every day. If we make more than 100 coins a day in the future, it will be about three taels of silver in a month. In a year, it will be nearly ten taels."

"So, I think you really shouldn't look down on us young people..."

Gu Yanzhang, who was sitting on the side, felt particularly comfortable when he heard his wife say this. He didn't know why.

When he was young, he was full of youthful vigor and had a lot of ideas of his own.

But every time he thought about learning from his brother-in-law and doing some small business outside, his father liked to pour cold water on him.

Sometimes he said he was not good at this, and sometimes he said he was not good at that. Sometimes he was still saying that the world outside was dangerous. He was worried that he, an only child, would accidentally die outside. He was

often persuaded by his father, and after a long time, he really gave up the idea.

He thought that being a farmer and living a stable life there was not bad.

However, since his wife got the hang of things half a year ago and asked her family for help, so that he could learn to do some small business, Gu Yanzhang's original spirit came back. After

doing small business for a while, he made a lot of money, ate better food and wore more fashionable clothes. Gu Yanzhang deeply realized that what his wife always said was very reasonable.

People like them should open their eyes to see the world. When they are young, they should go out for a walk.

Go out and have some fun, see some things, earn some money, and save some property.

Only in this way can he live a life with a clear conscience. As for what kind of bad people he will meet when he goes out..., it all depends on the probability.

If he meets a good person, he will meet a good person.

If he meets a bad person, he can only think of ways to escape that disaster.

However, before those messy things happen, he should actually follow his own ideas and make his life more comfortable.

Eat well, drink well, sleep well, and dress well. Only when the days are getting more and more prosperous can he have a goal.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanzhang said to his father with a serious face.

"Dad, my wife is right!"

As soon as the words fell, Gu Yu'an's heart suddenly surged with anger.
