175 Sell Asparagus
My sister is in good health, and there is no money left in this family. Because more than a month of seeing a doctor, recuperating, and Gu Ningan's food bills added up to seven or eight, all the money in the family was spent.
There is a saying that it is good, after decades of hard work, you will return to before liberation.
However, looking at her lively younger sister, Gu Xiaowan felt that if the money was gone, it would be gone, so she thought it was going to make money to eliminate disasters.
Because the weather has been hot recently, and spring has started again, Gu Xiaowan planned to go to the mountains to see how the spring bamboo shoots were. When I told Shitou, Shishi also had the same meaning. I hadn't seen it for several days, and it was time to see it. Look.
As soon as they said they went, a few children took the tools again and planned to go for a walk in the bamboo forest.
I was lucky this time. After digging for an afternoon, several people dug up dozens of catties of bamboo shoots. Gu Xiaoyi is small and just right. She is responsible for pulling out the bamboo shoots, while Gu Ningping and Gu Xiaowan are responsible for digging. Several people work together, and the baskets they bring are full.
"Brother Shito, the sun goes down, let's dig some more, you and Ning Ping will go to the town to sell tomorrow!" Gu Xiaowan suggested.
Originally, I didn't want Gu Ningping to follow along. If I go, there will be one less labor force in the family, and there must be not many bamboo shoots dug, but Gu Xiaowan is too embarrassed to speak. Although she urgently needs money now, she cannot take advantage of others.
Shitou knew that Gu Xiaowan had spent all the money in the family recently. When Xiaoyi was ill, hundreds of dollars were spent like this. Later, he cultivated at home. It was chicken, meat, and egg. Because Gu Xiaoyi was afraid of drinking the bitter medicine, Gu Xiaowan went to buy it specially. Come back with some sweet treats, the money in this flower is like running water, no amount of money can't help but spend it like this!
This Xiaoyi is good, Gu Xiaowan is eager to dig bamboo shoots to make money, it is obvious that the family has no money.
Shitou quickly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll go sell it with my mother tomorrow, and you will dig bamboo shoots at home!"
The stone wants them to dig a little more, and when the time comes, they will dig more and sell more money. Gu Xiaowan knew what he meant, and now she didn't refuse even if she needed money urgently.
Early the next morning, Shitou and Aunt Zhang set off for the town. Gu Xiaowan cooked some breakfast casually. She and Gu Ningping made sorghum gnocchi, while Gu Xiaoyi cooked porridge with minced meat.
Gu Xiaowan told Gu Ningping exactly what happened at home, while Gu Ningping was shocked, she was also very nervous. My brother is studying in the academy. Every day he reads and writes, he spends money. If there is no money at home, what should my brother do when he reads?
Gu Ningping desperately wanted to make money. Therefore, when digging bamboo shoots, Gu Ningping worked very hard.
In the morning, the three dug another two baskets. As soon as they got home, they saw Shitou and Aunt Zhang's ox cart approaching. Gu Xiaowan hurriedly greeted her and asked happily, "Aunt Zhang, how is the sale this time?"
Unexpectedly, both Aunt Zhang and Shitou looked a little unhappy. Hearing Gu Xiaowan's question, Aunt Zhang sighed and pointed to the basket: "Oh, they didn't sell it, and they all dragged back."
"What?" Gu Xiaowan didn't believe it, she took a look at the basket and saw that the big bamboo shoots with mud were still lying in the basket as in the morning.
"None of them sold?"
"Well, none of them were sold!" Shi Shi was a little depressed: "We just started going to Jinfu Building, and the door of Jinfu Building didn't let me and my mother enter! As soon as we got to the door, people were coaxed away."
"What? What about the boss of Jinfu Building? Can't find the boss, what about Xiao Shengzi?" Gu Xiaowan was a little anxious, she had dug up so many bamboo shoots, and she was hoping to sell it for a little money, how could she not sell it? !
"None of them were touched!" Shitou continued, "We rushed early and went to Jinfu Building. As soon as we arrived at the entrance of Jinfu Building, a person was blasted out. We explained to him that we had an appointment with the boss. Yes, who came to deliver bamboo shoots, that person just didn't believe it, and said we were liars, beggars, and threw us away."
"We also went to other restaurants. When they heard that we were here to sell bamboo shoots, they refused to accept them, saying that the bamboo shoots were not delicious!" Aunt Zhang said.
how is this possible!
Gu Xiaowan had a big question mark in her heart, but there were not a few bamboo shoots in the baskets in the car, but she gave her a blow! Jin Fu Lou has re-recruited a lot of customers with this dish. If other restaurants didn't know about it, it would be completely impossible.
Bamboo shoots are delicious, everyone in this town should know, why do they say bamboo shoots are not delicious?
"But later, my mother and I stayed there for a long time and said it was not delicious, but we still saw people buying bamboo shoots!"
"Yeah, especially Jinfulou, I bought a dozen baskets of bamboo shoots this morning!"
"Aunt Zhang, what do you mean, this Jinfulou buys bamboo shoots from other people's homes, not ours, right?"
After hearing Aunt Zhang's words, Gu Xiaowan felt very curious. The owner of Jinfulou, Boss Li, clearly told himself that in the future, the first bamboo shoots they dug would be sold to them at Jinfulou, no matter how much they got. Moreover, before the Chinese New Year, I met Xiao Shengzi again. According to Xiao Shengzi's meaning, Boss Li asked them to dig bamboo shoots and sell as many as possible!
Why didn't they accept the bamboo shoots when they actually sent them over?
Gu Xiaowan felt very curious, it seemed that she would go for a run in person tomorrow.
"Aunt Zhang, Shitou, don't worry, don't be sad, these bamboo shoots can be kept for a long time and won't go bad. Tomorrow, Brother Shitou and I will go to the town again to see what's going on!" Gu Xiaowan said.
"Well, good!" Stone will
The two new bamboo shoots dug today were put on the ox cart and returned.
After digging up the bamboo shoots for a day, Gu Xiaowan felt a little sore in her arms and back. Thinking of the bamboo shoots dug up, the restaurant would not accept them, and Gu Xiaowan felt a little regretful. Seeing that her sister was silent, Gu Ningping quickly comforted her: "Sister, don't be discouraged, there will be a way!"
Gu Xiaowan smiled comfortingly at Gu Ningping, she really wasn't worried about not being able to sell it, she was just curious. How could Li Fan do things in person and behind the scenes? She still thinks that Boss Li is very kind.
