Gu Mingzhen put the copper coin and silver naked into the space, thinking about the old lady Gu's expression today, she didn't feel wrong, she still had to plan early.

In ancient times, there were not as many jobs as in modern times, and it was difficult to find a good job in this era, she wouldn't be able to embroider, and neither would the original owner, so there was no need to worry about exposure, farming was feasible, but now there are no more families to plant, so she can only mix food and clothing, Gu Mingzhen thought about it, it seems that in addition to cooking, she has no skills that she can master.

Sinking the spirit into the space, Gu Mingzhen looked around, there were a lot of spices, but it seemed that there were very few that could be sold, Gu Mingzhen picked and picked chicken powder and Maggi fresh, but how to sell things is also a problem.

"Sister, has Chen Yu'an returned to the county?"

Gu Mingyu said curiously: "Sister, why did she suddenly think of Second Brother Chen? I don't think so! In the morning, I heard Xiao Yan say that he seemed to have lunch at home before leaving." ”

"I'm looking for him for something, mother, I'll go out and come back before dinner. ”

Gu Mingzhen explained, pulled out his legs and went out, and found the Chen family along the road in his memory.

Chen Yu'an's father is the head of the village, the number one person in the village, although the family population is not large, but their yard is spacious and bright, the courtyard wall of the mound is covered with ivy, and the greenery adds a lot of color to this winter.

Gu Mingzhen pinched the knocker and knocked three times, and asked loudly, "Is anyone at home?"

A gentle female voice said inside, "Who?"

Immediately, the footsteps sounded from far to near, and the sound of the door was ringing, revealing Chen Yu'an's beautiful face.

Seeing that it was Gu Mingzhen, he was obviously surprised and a little surprised, and let go of the side, saying, "Sister Mingzhen." ”

Aunt Du, the daughter-in-law in the hall, also came out when she heard the voice: "It's Mingzhen! Have you eaten it?

The original owner is smart, capable, and beautiful, and there are almost no aunts and aunts in the village who don't like her, and Aunt Du is no exception.

Gu Mingzhen noticed that their family was already having lunch, and it was so early now, probably because Chen Yu'an wanted to go back to the county.

It's obviously not good to disturb other people's meals, but the county is not familiar with her own life, except for Chen Yu'an, she can't think of a second person who can help her.

Chen Yu'an obviously noticed her hesitation, and took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong, how can I help you?"

The other party took the initiative to open his mouth, Gu Mingzhen no longer twisted, and said generously: "I want to ask you about something, you eat first, and I will come to you later." ”

"No, I've already finished eating. ”

He shouted into the house, "Mother, I'll be back in a while." So he took the courtyard gate.

The two walked casually, Gu Mingzhen organized the language and asked, "Second Brother Chen, can you tell me what restaurants there are in the county?"

Chen Yu'an said: "There are a total of six big restaurants, Yunlai Inn, Guilinju, Jixiangju, Lijingyuan, Fulaixi and Orchid Restaurant. Does Sister Mingzhen want to find a job, or does she have food that she wants to sell?"

It's not an important secret, not to mention that people shouldn't hide it, Gu Mingzhen said honestly: "I made some condiments myself, which can add flavor and freshness to the dishes, and I want to sell them, you also know the situation of my family, my grandmother doesn't want to see us, a few days ago I had an accident The medical expenses were too high, my mother couldn't afford it and I almost died, I thought it would be better to have some money in my pocket, at least don't panic, Second Brother Chen, thank you for your fish." ”

She described her situation as a bit miserable.

Chen Yu'an looked at her and said slowly: " Fish is a trivial matter, you and I don't have to thank you for a fish since childhood, these restaurants in the county, Orchid Wine Shop specializes in Hu wine, the food is not the same as ours here, the condiments in the Central Plains are not very suitable for them, Yunkai Inn and Lijingyuan are mainly engaged in inn business, food is incidental, and the rest of Guilin Ju Jixiangju Fulai Xi can try, Jixiangju is my aunt's shop, I can still say a few words, if you believe me, you can come to me, if the taste is okay, the price will definitely satisfy you. ”

Gu Mingzhen's face was full of gratitude: "I heard that the second brother is about to leave, it is almost noon now, I went to the county and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back at night, can I go to you tomorrow?"

The corners of Chen Yu'an's lips curled: "Naturally, Jixiang lives on Shunyi Street outside Min'an Fang, you can see it when you arrive, I will talk to Xiao Er, you can sign up at that time." ”

Things went very smoothly, and Gu Mingzhen thanked Chen Yu'an again and again, and then returned home happily.

Today's turn for Li to cook, don't look at her not very good-looking, but the rice is indeed better than Ye's, her face at the dinner table is beaming with joy, Li can't get used to stabbing her twice, and he doesn't care.

After lunch, Gu Mingzhen walked out of the house again, Gu regretted that the little girl was probably excited and couldn't extricate herself, and early in the morning, Gu saw her go to Grandma Gu's house with two huge black circles under her eyes.

When she arrived at the place, Gu Mingzhen told her about going to the county tomorrow, but Gu regretted that she didn't react, but Grandma Gu thought widely: "It's okay for you to go and see with Zhen Yatou, the Chen family kid is the second shopkeeper, I can take you to their back kitchen to have a look, you go to see the long insight." ”

Early the next morning, the sky was bright, Gu Mingzhen was called up by Ye's family, she lived very close to the company in modern times, and she didn't go to work until nine o'clock, she always got up very late, and now it has only been four days since she crossed over, and she has already gotten up three days early, and her biological clock is really a little unbearable.

When she finished washing up and went listlessly to the yard, she found that her sister Gu Mingyu didn't know when she had also cleaned up, and stood with Gu Cheng.

Ye said: "Bring Ayu with you." ”

The pet sister mad demon Gu Mingzhen naturally didn't agree, originally she didn't call her, because she felt that it was so cold now, and it was a happy thing to be able to stay in the bed for a while longer, now that she got up and wanted to go with her, let's go together.

Gu Mingzhen put the chicken powder and Maggi fresh in a clay pot and covered the lid, and carried it on his back with a small back basket, and the three aunts and nephews wrapped them tightly, and stepped on the clogs to meet the slight morning light and went to the county.

Chungu County is not far from Qingshan Village, but if you don't take an ox cart and walk on two legs, it will take at least more than an hour, or three hours in modern time.

When Gu Mingzhen walked halfway, she felt that her legs were numb, and she could only move forward mechanically, and was about to take a break when an ox cart came behind her.

Gu regret meant that he could save it, but Gu Mingzhen stopped the car at once: "Uncle, do you want to go to the county seat?"

There were already a few women sitting on the ox cart, and the old man who was driving the cart looked at the size of his aunt and nephew, and saw that they were all thin, and they could sit down if they were squeezed.

"Get in the car, you two big and one small will give five wen. ”

Going out with two nieces, of course the aunt can't let the niece pay for it, Gu Cheng took out Wuwen and grabbed the car in front of Gu Mingzhen.

The ox cart walked on the road for more than half an hour before arriving at Chungu County, where the gate of the county was built very high, which was not much different from some small towns that Gu Mingzhen had seen on TV in her previous life.

Gu Mingyu grew so big, the farthest place she went to was only in the town, and when she entered the city gate, she was immediately stunned by the prosperity here, and she only wished that she had ten pairs of eyes.

Gu Mingzhen walked all the way, and when it was almost time to eat, she found someone to ask for the address of Shunyi Street.

This street is a commercial street, the small buildings on both sides of the road are lined with pedestrians, looking lively, I am afraid that it is the most prosperous area in the whole Chungu County, Aunt Chen Yu'an's family can open a restaurant here, obviously the family is also very rich.

And Jixiangju can be seen as Chen Yu'an said, walk through the archway at the corner of the street and enter, the first one is.

Jixiangju is a three-story restaurant, looking at the decoration is also quite classy, Gu Cheng looked at the simple old clothes of the three of them and hesitated, Gu Mingzhen didn't have these concerns, took her sister's hand and walked in.

The first floor is a hall, there are not many tables, but they are almost full, and before the three of them enter the door, a junior two will greet them, smiling enthusiastically, and they don't see anything clearly because of the simple clothes of the three people.

"I was tired of the second brother to help deliver a message to the shopkeeper Chen, and said that Gu Mingzhen was looking for it. ”

"Okay, please sit upstairs for a moment. Obviously, he was instructed, and led the three of them to the second floor and sat diagonally opposite the door, and Xiao Er went downstairs to find Chen Yu'an.

There was tea on the table, Gu Mingzhen reached out and saw that it was warm, so he poured three cups, and when the tea was finished, Chen Yu'an led a person to come in a hurry.

As soon as the two sides met, they greeted each other and sat down when they saw each other, and Chen Yu'an introduced: "Sister Mingzhen, this one is our big shopkeeper Ye Chengen, cousin, this one is Gu Mingzhen I mentioned just now." ”

Ye Chengen is about twenty, not ugly, looks very steady, and has a unique smile on his face: "Miss Gu likes to cook?"

Gu Mingzhen said with a smile: "I can't say that I like it, I like to tinker with some gadgets when I am idle." ”

As soon as her voice fell, her attention was drawn to the person who came in at the door.

A group of more than a dozen people hugged each other, and the one who was hugged in the middle was a young man of about twenty, his eyebrows were extremely delicate and handsome, and he could see the elegance in his gestures, but his face was faint, and his thin lips were slightly open and he was whispering something to a young man beside him.

The junior in the hall had already greeted him.

Ye Chengen followed her gaze and smiled: "The young owner of Mingjing Building, does Miss Gu know?"

Gu Mingzhen shook her head: "I don't know, it's just that everyone has a love for beauty, and when I saw that he was good-looking, I took a second look, what kind of place is this Spiegel Tower?"

praised a man for being good-looking so frankly, Ye Chengen found that this Gu girl was really different.

Chen Yu'an said: "Jiang Zhongyi, the owner of Mingjing Building, originally started with the gambling house Qinglou business, and the people on the road called him Jiang Sanye, his name is often better than that of an official, and the one downstairs is the eldest young master born to his first wife, Jiang Yuchen. ”

Gu Mingzhen raised her eyebrows, and glanced at Jiang Yuchen again: "Both the heir and the elder, the prince of the gang." ”

At this time, the downstairs had finished speaking, Xiao Er led them up, the young man didn't know whether he had accidentally heard the words here, he looked up at Gu Mingzhen's side, the two looked at each other for a short time, Gu Mingzhen was calm and calm, and there was no feeling of being caught red-handed.

With a faint glance, the cold young man withdrew his gaze and was led up to the box on the third floor by Xiao Er.
