049 Family Wealth
Gu Xiaowan was delighted, and gently pinched Gu Xiaoyi's nose: "If there is a chance in the future, my sister will buy you steamed buns every day!"
The happy Gu Xiaoyi giggled, everyone was full, so what should I do with the things I bought!
Gu Xiaowan first put the torn quilts on the kang aside, and then spread out the two large quilts she bought. Because they were newly bought quilts, they were very foamy and soft. Gu Xiaowan touched them. I am happy to think that I will finally not be cold tonight.
After laying down the quilt, Gu Xiaoyi was the first to climb onto the bed, lying in the soft quilt, humming comfortably, and the other people in Le laughed again.
Gu Xiaowan didn't dare to put rice, noodles, meat, etc. in the small kitchen. There was no lock in the small kitchen. I was afraid that someone would attract thieves. So she took a wooden tub and packed all the meat, and put it in a hidden place in the big house. corner.
It's a little late today, and Gu Xiaowan feels a little tired, so Gu Xiaowan decides to cook lard again tomorrow.
Then there are about five hundred taels of silver on him. With her back to Gu Xiaoyi, Gu Xiaowan took out the bank note, and quietly told Gu Ningan about her experience in the town.
Gu Ning'an was shocked when he heard that a ginseng was sold for five hundred taels of silver.
It wasn't until Gu Xiaowan took out the bank note and placed it in front of Gu Ning'an that Gu Ning'an believed it!
"Sister, a ginseng plant can actually sell for so much money!" Gu Ning'an couldn't believe it was true.
Gu Xiaowan didn't explain much. These children are young, so they probably don't know the preciousness of ginseng. I'll talk to them slowly in the future. The only thing I have to do now is to tell them not to put this Say something.
Gu Xiaoyi is still too young, and she can't hide things in her heart. Maybe when others coax her, she will tell everything. Gu Ningping accompanied him all the way. He knew everything. Gu Ning'an was the eldest son of the family, and he had to tell him about it.
"Only the three of us know about this matter. If we say it, it is very likely that we will not make money in the future. Moreover, the four of us are children, and this is the situation at home. It is inevitable that it will not be noticeable. Some robbers and thieves are attracted, it's just fine for people who just steal money, if someone wants to make money and kill them, we're in danger." Gu Xiaowan is not alarmist, but really afraid.
This home is not a modern single-family home. There is a fence in the yard and a lock on the big house, which can be easily pried open by others. If there is really a rumor and the money is stolen, it’s fine. If someone has impure motives, they will make money and kill them!
Gu Xiaowan didn't dare to think about it. There are no adults at home, and the four are half-year-old children. If something happens!
Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping both nodded and swore: "Sister, don't worry, we will never say anything!"
Seeing that the two younger brothers nodded, Gu Xiaowan was relieved. Although these two younger brothers are young, they are sensible children. She is relieved!
Gu Xiaowan didn't worry about putting all the five hundred taels of silver together, but divided them into three parts, and hid them in the innermost part of the cabinet, one part was hidden on the kang, and the other part was made of the stuffed buns just now. It was wrapped in oil paper and hidden on the beam.
If there is a real burglar in the house, it should not be all three stolen.
Gu Ning'an saw that her sister had been busy for so long and hid the money in three places. She understood her sister's thoughts and felt that Gu Xiaowan was really thoughtful.
After all this work, Gu Xiaowan was really relieved. After seven or eight days, go to town again, and you can get your clothes back. If not now, wash your hair well, it's almost knotted.
Gu Xiaowan looked at her hair with disgust, it was dry and yellow, the result of long-term malnutrition.
However, if the family has money, if you eat more good food in the future, you will definitely be able to make up for it.
I heard that Gu Xiaowan was going to wash her hair and take a bath. Gu Ningping and Gu Ningan didn't need Gu Xiaowan to do anything. One went to carry water and the other made a fire. Gu Xiaowan reluctantly found some clothes in the cabinet and made do with them first.
The four of them were busy for half an afternoon, and then they washed clean. After washing, Gu Xiaowan only felt refreshed and refreshed. She brought Gu Xiaoyi, Gu Ning'an, and Gu Ningping to lie down in the soft new quilt and slept comfortably. got a good night's sleep.
The next day, instead of getting up early, Gu Xiaowan stayed in bed, and when she almost woke up naturally, all four of them got up. Gu Xiaowan didn't plan to wash the clothes she changed yesterday. After washing, she won't have any clothes to wear, so she can only wear them on the spot.
Gu Xiaowan got dressed, then dressed Gu Xiaoyi and combed her hair. Gu Ningping had already gone into the kitchen to make a fire, and learned how to brush the pot and boil water like Gu Xiaowan. Gu Ning'an took the bucket to fetch water.
When Gu Xiaowan came to the kitchen with Gu Xiaoyi, the water was almost boiling. Gu Xiaowan washed Gu Xiaoyi's face and hands as usual, and cleaned up herself. Then she came to the big house again and took some flour. Gu Xiaowan has already made up her mind, let's make white gnocchi today!
Then I cut a bit of fat and refined meat, and I cooked shredded pork and white gnocchi this morning to eat.
Because of the meat, the white gnocchi tastes different. When it's done, the whole kitchen will be filled with the smell of meat. Every one of them is drooling. Gu Xiaowan and the others are so happy!
After breakfast, Gu Xiaowan saw that the time was still early, so she thought about going to the waterfall again. The weather is very good now, but since the Chinese New Year is coming, it is probably too late to make dried fish and sell it. Moreover, if you can't supply a lot at one time and let others know, then you won't have any advantage if you do it next year.
Gu Xiaowan thought about it and decided.
I decided to put the work of making dried fish aside first, and decided to do a little bit of it first, and solve the food at home first.
Although there is money to buy in the town, Gu Xiaowan is a person who plans ahead. If she can not spend money, Gu Xiaowan will never spend money. She still kept the money for emergency use.
Gu Xiaowan planned to go into the mountain, but she was opposed by Gu Ningping this time.
"No, sister, if you go into the mountain again this time, I'll go too!"
