The mother-in-law obviously has the skill to make buns, but she is very shady! She has been hiding it for so many years, and this sister-in-law got it for nothing. She made so much money, but this shameless little bitch didn't share any benefits and came to beg for money...
Zhang really didn't understand why her mother-in-law would stand up for this ungrateful daughter-in-law at this point? A daughter- in-law
like her is an ungrateful and ungrateful person!
Just when Zhang wanted to instigate her sisters-in-law to add fuel to the fire, Chen Xuanxuan told the old lady Liu and Chen Daming's brothers about her experience during this period in a few words.
After hearing what Chen Xuanxuan said, the old lady Liu asked first, "My dear, even if I come in person, I guess those people will argue with us endlessly..."
Chen Xuanxuan listened and nodded with a smile, thinking to herself that as a daughter, she never liked to pit her own family. She asked her family to help, so how could she treat them unfairly?
These are her natural allies. She still has to make good use of them.
So, Chen Xuanxuan said calmly and sincerely, "Mom, brothers and sisters-in-law, don't think this matter is troublesome."
"In fact, before I came here, I had already thought of some rules. Mother, you are the most capable woman in our area. If you stand up for me and talk to the elders of the Gu family, I promise they will listen."
Before the old lady Liu could speak, Chen Xuanxuan said cheerfully, "Mother, it is not difficult for those people to get a living and skills from me. The key is that they have to show some sincerity and formally worship me as their master. To learn skills from a master, you must first teach them. Some tuition fees, right? They have to work for me for a few days from time to time, right? ..."
Seeing everyone's stunned look, Chen Xuanxuan smiled, "Mom, you don't need to be surprised. I don't do this for my own profit. In fact, I'm thinking about everyone in our Chen family and the Gu family! Mom, please rest assured, I will give you a lot of filial piety for every day of your labor..."
Chen Daming, who was very quick-witted, touched his chin unconsciously.
"Third sister, when we go over there later, what do you want our mother to say? How do you want to say it?"
After hearing this, Chen Xuanxuan leaned over and whispered several times in the ear of old lady Liu.
After listening to this, the old lady Liu smiled continuously.
She turned around and whispered a few words to Chen Daming, then readily agreed.
"Okay, my lady. It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's go now!"
With that, the old lady Liu took Chen Daming and Chen Xiaoming, along with Chen Xuanxuan and Gu Yanzhang, to Gujiagang.
When the elders of Gujiagang saw the old lady Liu coming with her sons, they immediately broke out in sweat. They secretly thought to themselves that it was not easy to take advantage of others for nothing.
After all, the skill of making buns belonged to Liu.
If she didn't nod, they, the Gu family, couldn't kill Yan Ge'er's wife, Chen, for such a small profit, right?
Thinking of this, the head of the Gu family, Gu Yuxi, clenched his hands into fists unconsciously.
He secretly told himself that this matter should be done slowly.
After all, as the ancestors said, things will be better if they are slow.
So, the head of the Gu family, including the elders, greeted her with a smile.
"Old lady Liu, what brings you here today?"
Don't think that these elders of the Gu family have scolded old lady Liu countless times in secret, thinking that she is not faithful to her husband and dislikes her for cheating on her man. However, they, like the people in Chenjia Village, never dared to insult or bully Old Lady Liu in front of her. Instead, they were all kind and respectful to her.
Even those scholars who had read a few books and even passed the imperial examinations did not dare to look at her in the face.
After all, everyone here knew that Old Lady Liu was a vengeful person!
If they didn't let her off easily, she would turn around and ask her son to tell her lover, Captain Huang, and those who offended her would have to drink a few pots of wine!
Because sometimes, Captain Huang was more useful than the county magistrate.
...
Seeing that several old men of the Gu family were smiling at her warmly, old lady Liu said directly, "Come on, I'm a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush with you."
"My daughter learned the cooking skills from me. As the saying goes, there is no order without rules. In our business of making buns, we also have to follow rules."
Upon hearing what old lady Liu said, Gu Yuxi, the patriarch of the Gu family, became curious, "Old lady, what rules are there for making buns?"
Seeing such an old guy pretending to be deaf and dumb, old lady Liu laughed out loud, "Gu Yuxi, you are also educated and have been out. Logically speaking, you know more about rules and regulations than those useless young men in the Gu family. No matter how you pretend in front of me, I don't believe it. I'm going to say this today: if you in the Gu family want to learn how to make a living from my daughter, you have to follow the rules passed down by our ancestors! Otherwise, I'd rather let my daughter divorce her husband than let you off easily! "As
soon as these words came out, all the Gu family members present were shocked. They whispered to each other and pointed at Old Lady Liu and Chen Xuanxuan. Their words and expressions seemed to express all kinds of disapproval and vague contempt...
However, when Old Lady Liu glared at them with her stern eyes, the villagers who were stared at were frightened and shut their mouths.
The clan leader Gu Yuxi was also worried that if the matter got out, people from other villages would think that his Gu family coveted the Chen family's craftsmanship and failed, and Old Lady Liu forced her daughter to divorce... In this way, the reputation of their Gu family would be tarnished...
So, after thinking about it, Gu Yuxi couldn't help but ask, "Old lady, you just said that we have to abide by the rules of making buns, then can you tell me first, what are the rules here?"
Old Lady Liu listened, nodded, and said, "This matter is easy to talk about."
"Making and selling steamed buns is actually no different from running a restaurant, selling tofu, making earthen bricks, or being a carpenter in the city. You have to learn from a master, burn incense to the gods, and pay respect to your ancestors. You have to learn slowly for more than ten years. By then, you can open a snack shop in the county town."
Seeing the people from the Gu family, her eyes became brighter. Old lady Liu said leisurely, "Don't think that making buns is simple. But different trades are like different mountains. If you don't seriously learn from a master, you won't be able to make the kind of buns that are fluffy, elastic, and especially delicious." "To be honest
