Qin Lao and Qin Sanlang saw that the Gu family was fine, and they also went home to do their work.

The third grandmother asked Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, those people are coming tomorrow, how do you want to reply to them?" Do you really want to sell them all the tofu? ”

The third grandmother knows that this tofu is in demand, and the more she sells, the more profitable she is, but there are so many people in their family, and they can only make so much tofu every day. But there is no tofu stall.

Gu Jinli said: "Third grandmother, don't worry, I'll talk about this matter in the evening." ”

The third grandmother had no choice but to give up, no longer asked, and the three of them entered the yard together.

With a squeak, Cui Shi opened the door of the hall and walked out with Gu Jinxiu and Cheng Ge'er.

Cui Shi and Gu Jinxiu's faces were still frightened, and Gu Jinxiu even had a firewood knife in his hand.

Seeing this, Gu Jinli was very satisfied, when he encountered danger, it was much better to be able to pick up a knife to defend himself than to be beaten passively.

It was Brother Cheng, the little man was firm, without the slightest fear, and he was still holding a flat pole in his hand, and said to Gu Jinli: "Second sister, I will protect my mother and eldest sister." ”

Gu Jinli smiled: "Well, Brother Cheng is very powerful. ”

He added: "However, when the opponent is too strong, you can't hit it hard, you can sneak away first, and then find a chance to beat the opponent fat later." ”

"Well, I remember, second sister, don't worry, I won't let myself be beaten by others." Cheng Ge'er assured.

Cui Shi felt that Gu Jinli shouldn't teach his brother like this, but he thought about what he encountered on the way to escape from the famine, and then pressed down his words, and asked about Gu Jin'an instead: "How is Brother An?" Can Shang Xiucai accept him? ”

Gu Dashan said with a smile: "Accept it, in the future, our brother An will be Shang Xiucai's student, and from today on, follow Shang Xiucai to study." ”

Cui Shi was very happy, and his eyes were moist: "That's good, that's good, our brother An'er can finally go to school." ”

Gu Dashan saw her like this, and his eyes also reddened.

Gu Dashan and Cui's have always felt very sorry for Brother An, because Mrs. Gu dislikes them, several children have also been abused by Mrs. Gu, and Brother An has been bullied even more.

Brother An is smart and likes to study very much, when he was a child, he saw Second Uncle Gu's father and son studying, and he also followed suit, but was driven away by Second Uncle Gu's father and son.

Brother An was very sad and hid and cried.

Cui's felt sorry for his son, so he quietly taught An Ge'er to read and write, and An Ge'er learned quickly, but one day when An Ge'er was writing on the ground with a branch, he was seen by Mrs. Gu, and at that time, he hit An Ge'er's hand with a cane, and directly swollen An Ge'er's hand. If it weren't for Brother An'er's fast running, it is estimated that his hands would have been scrapped by Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu warned the couple that if she saw Brother An writing again, she would break his hand and sell him again.

Mrs. Gu is so excited, the reason is very simple, that is, she can't see Brother An'er's future.

Brother An is smart, and since then, he has only quietly practiced calligraphy in the house, and has not been discovered by Mrs. Gu again.

But Cui and Gu Dashan have remembered this matter for half their lives, and they feel so guilty that they can't do it. Now that Brother An can finally go to school openly, the husband who worships is still a talented man, and the couple are so excited that they cry.

The third grandmother looked at the couple with tears in their eyes, and said angrily and funny: "You two, quickly wipe away your tears, this is a great joy, why are you crying?" ”

"Eh, stop crying." Cui Shi wiped away his tears and said to Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, you can make a crystal guru meat tonight, your brother likes to eat this, today is his big day, let's give him a good time." ”

Last time Shang Xiucai's family came to their house for dinner, she heard from the head of the family that Brother An'er's child had eaten a lot of crystal grunt meat, and it seemed that he liked sweet and sour taste, so she thought about making a crystal grunt meat for Brother An'er today and letting him eat it openly.

"Okay." Gu Jinli responded happily, and the family of three began to work at home again.

Gu Jinli didn't squeeze the oil again today, but took out the two spices of sand kernel and cumin, knocked them into half with a hammer, and grinded the spices with Gu Jinxiu and the third grandmother.

Just after grinding a catty, the third grandfather and they came back.

The third grandfather's face was not very good, and after putting down the burden, he sat in the yard and sighed.

When the third grandmother saw it, she hurriedly asked him, "Old man, what's wrong with you?" ”

The third grandfather thought about it and told them about today's events in the town: "The two food shops on the front street and the back street, as well as the Fuguilou on the main street, are all selling our fried five-spice tofu, which tastes exactly the same as ours." ”

"What? Someone in town sells pan-fried spiced tofu? The third grandmother stood up angrily and scolded: "This group of goddamn people, how can they be so shameless, this is something that Xiaoyu came up with!" ”

After scolding, he anxiously asked the third grandfather: "What can I do then?" They made pan-fried spiced tofu, didn't they want to take away our guests? ”

Gu Jinli had long expected that someone would follow to sell fried five-spiced tofu, but she was not in a hurry at all, and after hearing the words of the third grandmother, she asked the third grandfather: "Third grandfather, how is our business today?" Is it still as prosperous as before? ”

The third grandfather nodded: "It's really the same as before, but the white tofu sold too fast, and almost as soon as we arrived in the town, we were snatched up, or the noble daughter-in-law forcibly left two loads of white tofu, so that the stall can be opened today." ”

The third grandmother was confused: "Isn't someone selling fried five-spice tofu?" Why is our business still so good? ”

Gu Jinli smiled: "Third grandmother, where did their tofu come from?" I bought it from us, so it doesn't matter if they make pan-fried spiced tofu or not, it doesn't have much impact on us, but the white tofu and spices are in our hands. ”

"With these two things, we are not afraid of them. If they want to make pan-fried spiced tofu, they have to spend money to buy white tofu from us, and the more white tofu they buy, the more we earn, which is no different from them working for us. ”

She looked up at the third grandmother and smiled slyly: "If our income decreases, we can also increase the price of white tofu." ”

After listening to Gu Jinli's words, the third grandfather and the third grandmother were stunned for a while, and then reacted, and the third grandmother smiled: "Eh, we are still smart." Well, if they want to sell pan-fried spiced tofu, go sell it. "Anyway, no matter how much you sell, you're helping them make money.

The third grandfather and the third grandmother no longer worried about this matter, and began to work again.

The third grandmother also told the third grandfather that the villagers of Lianghe Village came to buy white tofu, but they were almost beaten as a villain.

Xiaoyu said that this matter would only be answered after several families discussed it.

When the third grandfather heard this, he originally wanted to ask Gu Jinli what his plans were, but he gave up and patiently waited until the evening to divide the money.

Not long after the third grandfather came back, Gu Jinan also came back from Shang Xiucai's house, but he was about to return to the end of the village, but he was stopped by Gu Dexing.
