Chapter 175: Handkerchief

Gu Yumei was really scared because of the fact that she was surrounded by a few bastards around the courtyard wall after the Lantern Festival, and she was quite honest for more than a month, but she was still jealous of Gu Jinli in her heart, thinking that she was just lucky, so she made tofu and seasoning spices.

If she was willing to do it, she would be able to make something more popular than tofu and spices.

But this is just a thought, not to mention making other new things that sell well, she can't even make tofu and seasoning spices.

Speaking of this, Gu Yumei didn't like Gu Jinli even more, and said that a few companies were doing tofu and spice business together, but so far they don't know how the tofu is made?

They all know about soaking soybeans, grinding beans, filtering soy milk, and boiling soy milk, and they also know the need to marinate tofu, but they don't know what the brine is.

Without that brine, she wouldn't have thought about making tofu.

There are also the seasoning spices, she knows several spice raw materials, but she grabbed a handful of each spice and mixed it, and the flavor that came out made her want to vomit, not to mention the fresh fragrance, almost didn't kill her!

She caught a few spice powders to make spices and told her second aunt about it, and the second aunt also scolded her, saying that she wasted things, and the few handfuls she caught could be sold for dozens of dollars.

She was not convinced, but she had no choice but to hold her breath by herself, panicked at home, wanted to go out to play with the girls in the village, and was afraid of meeting bastards, so she didn't dare to go out. Now because of the fact that she wants to open a workshop, people in the village come to her house every day to flatter her.

"Sister Mei, this is the morning boiled egg at my sister-in-law's house, you taste it, it tastes good." He Xiangzi's daughter-in-law took out an egg, put it on the table, and let Gu Yumei eat it.

Gu Yumei glanced at the egg, picked up a bean dregs cake, took a small bite, swallowed it slowly, and said, "My family is not short of these things, sister-in-law take them back and eat them at home." ”

Since starting the tofu business, her family's life has improved, although they can't eat meat every day, but her father loves them and will give them an egg every other day. So if you want to buy her with an egg, it's impossible.

When He Xiangzi's daughter-in-law heard this, her face turned white, and He Danhua hurriedly said: "Sister Mei, then you eat my family's dates, the dates were bought by my father in the town, but they are delicious." ”

He Danhua smiled, carefully opened the handkerchief, and handed a candied date in the handkerchief to Gu Yumei.

"Danhua, there are at least six dates in a pack in this town, all wrapped in red paper, your date is really bought at home? Isn't it garbage picked up in a corner? He Cuier covered her face and smiled, exposing He Danhua's lies in one sentence.

He Danhua's face suddenly turned pale, He Cuier said right, her family is poor, where can she afford to buy dates, this dates were rewarded by a rich man when her father was doing odd jobs in the town, one for each person, her father didn't eat it, took it back to the family, saved it for her mother, and said that it was kept as a gift.

It just so happened that the Gu family was going to open a workshop, and her father wanted to come to the Gu family workshop to work, seeing that she was about the same age as Gu Yumei, so she asked her to bring dates to slap Gu Yumei, so that she could agree to allow her family to work in a workshop.

Gu Yumei was originally very happy to be held, but when she heard this, her face fell, and she was actually asked to eat the things she picked up, He Danhua didn't want to come to her workshop to work.

She snorted coldly and ignored He Danhua.

He Danhua wanted to explain, but He Cui'er robbed the conversation: "Sister Mei, look at this, this is the handkerchief that my eldest brother bought in Qingyun Embroidery Village in the county seat, it is made of brocade, it is a thing that is only used by rich ladies in the county, it is very expensive, one costs 100 yuan, my eldest brother bought two, I kept one for myself, this one is specially given to you, you take it." ”

Damask?

Gu Yumei's eyes lit up when she heard the word brocade.

In the past, when she was in her hometown, the life of the family was good, and she also had a brocade handkerchief, but since the beginning of the famine, she used burlap, although the days are better now, but the family has developed a thrifty atmosphere, although her father loves her, but only buys her cotton cloth, brocade or something, but will not buy it for her.

Although Gu Yumei knew that it was not good to accept this handkerchief, the handkerchief in her hand was made of cotton cloth, and a tuft of grass was embroidered with thick thread on it, which was comparable to the brocade handkerchief given by He Cui'er, the brocade was so smooth that it could shine on people, and a peony was embroidered with a thin red thread on the brocade, which looked so dazzling.

Gu Yumei was very moved, she glanced at the handkerchief several times, He Cuier was a smart person, seeing her like this, she immediately stuffed the handkerchief into her hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Mei'er take it, in the future, we will each have a brocade handkerchief, and we will also make the handkerchief that the rich ladies said." ”

Gu Yumei pinched the brocade handkerchief in her hand, the corners of her mouth curled, this handkerchief of 100 yuan is better than the cotton handkerchief of 10 yuan, pinched in her hand, soft and comfortable.

But......

Gu Yumei looked at He Cui'er, waiting for her to ask her for a workshop job, but unexpectedly, He Cui'er didn't say a word, as if she didn't give her such an expensive handkerchief to make a living.

Gu Yumei was very satisfied with this, and felt that He Cuier was different from He Danhua and Xiangzi's sister-in-law, she really wanted to be good friends with her, not flattering her, just for the sake of workshop work.

And He Cui'er seemed to be really here to deliver the handkerchief, seeing that after Gu Yumei accepted the handkerchief, she only sat for a while, then got up and said goodbye: "There is still farm work to be done at home, so I won't stay long, I have to go home to work." ”

Saying that, he turned around and left, and went home, leaving only Xiangzi's sister-in-law and He Danhua.

He Danhua was still flattering Gu Yumei, but Xiangzi's sister-in-law looked at Gu Yumei with a strange look, and after a while, she also said goodbye and left, but did not go home, but stood at the intersection at the end of the village, waiting for Chen.

When the Chen family came back from the stall, Xiangzi's sister-in-law stopped her and whispered a few words to her, and the Chen family immediately exploded and scolded: "This idiot, she can't live in peace!" ”

Chen didn't even want a burden, and hurriedly ran home, Gu Dagui shouted behind her: "You mother-in-law, what are you crazy about, it's just a few steps, you still throw the burden here, you will die if you pick it back?" ”

"Yes!" Chen turned around and said a word at Gu Dagui, which scared Gu Dagui, this mother-in-law was really angry.

When Chen returned home, he saw Gu Yumei sitting in his room, pinching a piece of bean dregs cake in one hand and eating it slowly, after eating, pinching a brocade handkerchief, slowly wiping the corners of his mouth, He Danhua in the room was still praising her: "Sister Mei, your actions are so good-looking, like the rich lady in the town." ”

Rich lady fart!

Chen was about to explode, suppressed his anger, and said to He Danhua: "Sister Mei still has something to do, you go home first." ”。

He Danhua saw that Chen's face was very bad, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly ran away.
