Chapter 62 Dairy Products
Gu Sang and Gu Da had no teacher to teach them how to read and could not understand, but they were soon persuaded by Gu Feixue.
The three of them skipped class while Gu Tingchuan was concentrating on writing an article.
When they arrived at the street, the three of them saw a prosperous scene, and they had no idea that a few months ago, this place was full of refugees fleeing famine.
Today was a market day, and all sorts of merchants and vendors were walking around, pushing carts and shouting loudly. Passersby would stop and take a look from time to time, and would be warmly welcomed by the stall owners.
Although Gu Feixue was only a few years old, Gu Sang and Gu Da already looked like grown-up children, so they did not receive unfair treatment.
The few of them first visited a number of snack stalls and bought so many snacks that they couldn't even hold them all.
Of course, these were snacks bought for Gu Sang and the others. She had eaten modern snacks before.
I have no interest in these candied haws, meat buns, and malt candy at all.
Then Gu Feixue discovered that snacks in ancient times were also scarce, and there were only a few of them.
Think of modern popcorn, French fries, potato chips, cheese wafers, and cream cakes, these are what we call snacks!
Hey, why don’t she start with these snacks? After all, women and children like to eat snacks, and it’s easy to make money.
Once she makes her first pot of gold and opens up sales channels, wouldn't it be great if she could earn money from adults?
Do it as soon as you think of it. Gu Feixue thought about the snacks she liked to eat nowadays which were not cheap.
Women definitely like dairy snacks, especially cream cakes and cheese wafers. In ancient times, plumpness was considered beautiful, so they were definitely not afraid of getting fat.
Children like dairy products more, so you can also start a milk powder business, providing a one-stop service for dairy products, which is definitely high-end!
"Xue'er! These are so delicious! How can you people from the Central Plains come up with such delicious snacks? We only have milk lumps over there!"
Gu Sang had a mouthful of slightly sweet dried sweet potatoes and kept praising the snacks from the Central Plains.
Gu Da was eating the crispy fried peanuts and mumbling:
"Yeah, but our milk lumps and milk tea are delicious too!"
When Gu Feixue heard what the two said, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes! These two are nomadic, so they must consume a lot of dairy products. I can check it out for her and give her some advice.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible, so Gu Feixue patted his chest and said:
"What's this? There are even better ones. Do you want to try them?"
The two were stunned when they heard this. When Gu Sang heard that there was something even more delicious, he couldn't contain his excitement and said:
"What's more delicious? Let's try it!"
Gu Da was more steady than Gu Sang, but there was also a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
When Gu Feixue brought the two to the carriage and horse market, they obviously didn't understand what delicious food there was.
"Xue'er, horse meat doesn't taste good..."
Seeing Gu Sang's troubled expression, Gu Feixue couldn't help but feel ashamed. This kid was too cruel.
"I'm not asking you to eat horses. I brought you here to buy a cow so we can make dairy products."
When the two heard about dairy products, although they were still very curious, they lost their excitement.
"Is it milk pimples? We've eaten it before. My parents both know how to make it."
The two of them didn't expect that Gu Feixue shook her head.
"I'm going to make something that you've definitely never eaten."
Now their interest was piqued again, and they followed Gu Feixue to the place where the cattle were sold.
Although it is called the Carriage and Horse Market, it also sells some large livestock, either domesticated or hunted in the mountains and forests, and there is a lot of trading going on.
Thinking back to when they passed by here before, Gu Feixue saw someone selling dairy cows. The three of them searched for a long time, and finally, their hard work paid off and they found a shop selling dairy cows.
"Uncle and Madam, how much are you selling your cows?"
People in the Central Plains don’t often drink milk and they also think milk is fishy. Naturally, no one comes to the couple’s dairy cows, and their stall is deserted.
"Little kid, do you want to buy my cow? Where are your parents?"
The lady selling the cows was a little impatient while waiting, but she was kind to them.
Gu Feixue said, "Auntie, my mother asked my brother and sister and I to come out to buy a cow. We brought some silver."
When the old lady heard what Gu Feixue said, she was delighted to see that she didn't seem to be lying. However, she didn't expect that before she could say anything, a dozen or so people suddenly rushed in from the front, each holding a stick in their hands.
"Everyone, get out of my way! I'll beat anyone who dares to block my way to death!"
Listening to the other party's bad tone and the clothes that were familiar to Gu Feixue.
Gu Feixue was so angry that she was fuming:
"How ridiculous! It's Qian Youliang again! Is he addicted to forced buying and selling?"
Last time, I saw those evil servants cheating the old man’s ducks, which was bad enough. Now this group of people has even come to the carriage and horse market to make trouble. Do they have any respect for the law?
However, what Gu Feixue didn't expect was that this time Qian Youliang's men were not forcing the sale, but had no intention of paying at all.
"Butler Wang, there are two cows here. Should we take them back as well?"
The group quickly robbed some cattle and horses and rushed to Gu Feixue and his group.
The few people didn't care about the presence of Gu Feixue and the other two. Instead, they looked at the two cows with greed in their eyes.
"Keep them! They can't be sold anyway. Go back and milk them for the master's new concubine!"
After saying this, Qian Youliang's servants, led by Steward Wang, showed very obscene smiles on their faces.
Gu Feixue almost vomited.
Ugh, so shameless and disgusting.
Seeing that this group of people were about to take away the two cows, the old man and the old woman did not dare to stand up and object. Gu Feixue could not bear it and said:
"Stop! Why are you stealing other people's cattle?"
In his previous life, he was a special forces soldier who spent his whole life defending his country and protecting the people.
In this life, she saw someone forcing a sale, afraid of causing trouble for her parents, so she didn't dare to speak up, so she had to buy the duck from him. However, now these people didn't even give a penny and wanted to rob him, they were simply bandits!
This is intolerable!
"Who's talking? I think you're rebelling!"
Steward Wang looked around and saw that the speaker was actually a girl of a few years old. His face turned a little unhappy:
"Get out of the way, we're just robbing it, what's it got to do with you?"
Gu Feixue shouted, her aura startling everyone present:
"Just mind my business. If you try to rob me today, it will be your responsibility if your master is arrested by the government and paraded through the streets in the future!"
It is said that a dog relies on the power of the master, so naturally, the group of Butler Wang have to rely on the power of their master. As soon as Gu Feixue mentioned the incident of Qian Youliang being paraded through the streets, the more than 20 people naturally felt embarrassed.
"Where did you come from, you little brat? Do you believe I'll beat you to a pulp?!"
Gu Feixue had a well-reasoned answer and spoke in a very calm tone:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just left, and Duke Zheng hasn't left Liangcheng yet. You dare to act like this? Aren't you afraid that if Duke Zheng finds out, he'll execute your master on the spot!"
Perhaps it was because Gu Feixue's aura was too strong, some of the stall owners around her whose livestock had been robbed also became much more imposing in an instant.
