Chapter 85: The Shy Guiqiu (I)
Master Zhou took a fancy to Gui Qiu, and Gui Chongyang had already told Gui Wu about it. Listening to Gui Chongyang's words now, Gui Wu also felt that he should mention it, and he couldn't let the woman speak first.
Although it is not possible to let Gui Qiu be a door-to-door son-in-law for a few years as Master Zhou's original, it is all in the town, and there is nothing that cannot be discussed.
Gui Chongyang is worried about the reproduction of people, and Gui Wu also thinks about this problem. When there are great-grandchildren and great-granddaughters at home, and Grandma Gui is busy, she won't just stare at him.
At this time, Wang Xiaosan'er had already returned with a big bag.
Xiji is a small town, and all kinds of food are not as expensive as those in the city, and they are all good things that are affordable and satisfying.
When Gui Chongyang looked at it one by one, he saw meat buns, vegetarian buns, steamed buns, sesame baked cakes, chestnut cakes, jujube cakes, sugar cakes, rice cakes, wontons, cold noodles, fried tofu, fried dough sticks, scallion pancakes, etc.
Each of them was either a piece or a serving, and the table was full, and it cost less than a string of money in total.
Wang Xiaosan'er handed the rest of the money to Gui Chongyang, Gui Chongyang accepted it, and then counted out ten dollars and handed it to him: "Hard work!" ”
The sun was shining outside, Wang Xiaosan'er was sweating on his forehead, and he was wheezing when he walked, and he was really affected. Despite this, Wang Xiaosan'er did not collect the money immediately, looked at Gui Wu, and saw Gui Wu nodding before calling "Third Brother" to accept it.
Three, three, three, this ranking is unavoidable.
Gui Chongyang said "haha" twice and asked: "Which ones were bought by the shop, those bought at the stall, and which ones were bought from the wharf?" ”
Wang Xiaosan'er is illiterate, but his memory is not bad, and he said clearly: "The steamed buns are bought at the steamed bun shop, the steamed buns are bought at the steamed bun shop, the sesame baked cakes, fried dough sticks, wontons, cold noodles, fried tofu are bought at the stalls, and the chestnut cakes, jujube cakes, sugar cakes, rice cakes, and scallion pancakes are bought from the dock cross-basket people." ”
Gui Chongyang nodded, but didn't say anything, beckoning the two to try it together.
Meat buns, vegetarian buns are fine, steamed buns, baked cakes have nothing to say, fritters, fried tofu, wontons are a little cold, the taste is just average; Among the several cakes and scallion pancakes, only chestnut cake is better, and the others are just ordinary.
Seeing the dissatisfied look on Gui Chongyang's face, Gui Wu said: "These dim sum are too coarse, if you want to be fine, you have to find a special shop." ”
Gui Chongyang said: "There's no need to be fine, these flavors are enough, but they look bad, and the unified mold will be much better." ”
Wang Xiaosan'er listened, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The third brother wants to open a food shop, do you want to recruit a dim sum master?" ”
Gui Chongyang said: "Do you have acquaintances? ”
Wang Xiaosan'er pointed to the remaining chestnut cake on the table and said: "The one who sells this cake is our neighborhood, it is the craftsmanship handed down by the ancestors, and the family originally opened a dim sum shop, but later offended the housekeeper of the Hong family, and the shop was swallowed by the Hong family." Nowadays, I only make some cakes at home and sell some on the docks. ”
Gui Chongyang already thought that the chestnut cake was good, it was the best tasting among several pastries, but the new shop was most afraid of trouble, even if he didn't like the Hong family's actions, but it was also a "behemoth" for the current Gui Chongyang.
Gui Chongyang looked at Gui Wu and said, "Fifth uncle, is it in the way?" ”
Gui Wu shook his head and said, "Don't get in the way, the Hong family is domineering, and it won't last long." ”
Gui Chongyang glanced at Wang Xiaosan'er, is it appropriate to say these words in front of outsiders? Or in the eyes of the fifth uncle, this Wang Xiaosan'er is not an outsider?
Wang Xiaosan'er took the vegetarian bun, lowered his head and ate, nodding while eating, as if he was savoring the taste.
Gui Chongyang couldn't help but pick the corners of his mouth, he was really clever.
Gui Wu instructed Wang Xiaosan'er to continue to clean up the shop, so he went to the Zhou family's shop with Gui Chongyang.
Today is the day of the set, but it is not a big set every ten, but a small set, so it will be dispersed in half a day.
At the door of Zhou's shop, Gui Qiu and Zhou Lilac were at the noodle stall.
Seeing the two uncles and nephews coming, Gui Qiu hurriedly greeted him and said, "Fang Cai Ding said that she looked like the fifth uncle, I thought she was wrong, it was really the fifth uncle and Chongyang who came." ”
Zhou Dingxiang also stepped forward and greeted the two generously: "Fifth Uncle Gui, Chongyang." ”
Gui Wu nodded, and Gui Chongyang said, "Sister Zhou collects the stall?" Shall I help you? ”
Zhou Dingxiang saw that Gui Wu seemed to have something to say to Gui Qiu, so she smiled and nodded: "Then I'll be tired of Chongyang, I'll make somen noodles for you to eat when I go back." ”
The two went to clean up the stall, Gui Wu called Gui Qiu aside and said, "Seeing that you get along well with Miss Zhou, if you want, would it be good for me to propose to the Zhou family?" ”
Compared with Mei Duo, Zhou Lilac is black and fat, which can be said to be ugly, so Gui Wu can't get Gui Qiu's thoughts, so he asks this sentence first.
If Guiqiu is willing, everything is easy to say; If Guiqiu is unwilling, the favor of the Zhou family is just a favor, and he will find a way to repay it.
Gui Wu has been the one who has made his own ideas since he was a teenager, so he does not act like an elder in front of several nephews and makes his own opinions, but pays more attention to his own opinions.
Gui Wu is Gui Qiu's own uncle, so he is naturally qualified to propose to the Zhou family on behalf of the Gui family. However, Gui Wu is just saying this now, how can this kind of thing never cross the Yang family, and he will always talk to his family before he officially mentions this to the Zhou family.
Gui Qiu immediately jumped up like a rabbit with a tail, and said at a loss: "What? What kind of propose? But his face was flushed, and he covered his mouth as if he was afraid that others would hear it.
Gui Wu saw it in his eyes, where was there anything he didn't understand? He glanced at Gui Qiu angrily and said, "It's not a big girl, why are you blushing when you mention relatives?" Your eldest brother is married, so naturally it will be your turn! ”
Gui Qiu put down his hand, still smirking: "Didn't I expect it?" I thought that I would mention this after my eldest brother got married. ”
Gui Wu snorted lightly and said, "Since you are not in a hurry, then let it go again, and wait for your sister-in-law to enter the door." Since you haven't thought about it, you can see that you haven't looked at the girl from the last week's family, so then look at others when the time comes......"
Before he finished speaking, Gui Qiu was already in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I don't want others!" "Now my face is red to the base of my neck.
"Out of breath!" Gui Wu sneered: "Then what did you pretend to be confused before?" Even Chongyang saw that Master Zhou wanted to recruit you as a son-in-law, so I don't believe you didn't see it! ”
Gui Qiu said "haha" twice, unable to speak, but there was a hidden worry in the joy.
When Gui Wu saw it, he sighed in his heart, and said, "But in front of you, your son-in-law is just a son-in-law, not a door-to-door son-in-law." The Gui family's son-in-law only needs to have me. If the Zhou family nods and marries normally, everything is easy to say; If the Zhou family should not, then it can only be that you have no fate! ”
Gui Qiu's face turned pale, he was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, I know." ”
Not far away, Zhou Dingxiang was cleaning up the tables and chairs, and at the same time paying attention to Guiqiu's movements.
Seeing that Gui Qiu's expression was wrong, Zhou Dingxiang's dark face showed a little uneasiness, and he leaned in front of Gui Chongyang and whispered: "Chongyang, but is there anything going on at home?" ”
Gui Chongyang said curiously: "It's okay." Speaking of this, he said, "By the way, there is a happy event!" ”
Zhou Dingxiang immediately asked, "What happy event?" ”
Gui Chongyang didn't deliberately tease her, and said directly: "Brother Chun's marriage is one thing, and the old house is one thing." ”
Zhou Dingxiang smiled and said, "Good things come in pairs, next time I go over and say hello to Sister Mei." ”
Gui Chongyang said: "Sister Zhou will go when we move to a new house." ”
Zhou Dingxiang said happily: "Okay, when the time comes, I'll go and cook for you and help you make a warm pot feast!" ”
Master Zhou went to the front and called Gui Qiu, and when he saw Gui Wu, he hurriedly beckoned him to come in and talk.
Gui Wu glanced at Gui Chongyang and said, "It just so happens that this little guy has set up a few shops, and he is looking for your help with something......
