Gu Huai'an walked over to take a look, and found that it was true, and he was slightly surprised: "How could our bowl appear at the door inexplicably?" ”

"This ......" Gu Changning scratched his face, smirked at his brother twice, and said, "It should be the sixth uncle and grandmother who brought it......

"Sixth Uncle Grandmother?" Gu Huai'an was surprised, "How could our family's bowl be at the sixth uncle and grandmother?" ”

"Well, that's the case......" Gu Changning explained what he had been doing these days to his brother, and Gu Huai'an understood what was going on.

No wonder my sister has secretly left the house for a while to start the meal as soon as she has finished cooking, because the stove is now under her control, and she naturally has the final say on when the meal will be served.

He only occasionally came out of the yard to walk and rest when he was tired of copying books a few times, and he happened to see her coming back from outside, and he didn't ask much, just as she was walking at the door to breathe in the fresh air.

It turned out that he went to deliver food to the sixth uncle and grandmother.

It's just that he doesn't understand some things, so he can't help but ask: "If you send food, you will deliver food, why do you want to hide it from me and A-Niang?" It's not something to be seen for. ”

"......" Gu Changning reacted to his reminder, and said with a confused face, "Huh? That's right! Why should I hide this? That's not a wrong thing! ”

Gu Huai'an twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at his sister with caring eyes, and then took in all the neatly stacked bowls at the door and put them back in the cupboard in the stove room.

Gu Changning, who received his brother's eyes, twitched the corners of his eyes, and left with a depressed face.

She was used to being cautious in her previous life, no matter what she did, she would subconsciously hide it first, and then talk about it, it's not good to go on like this!

Gu Changning thought in his heart as he went to the place agreed with Chen Shuang and them.

***

A month after the incident of Zhou Damiang, the discussion about this matter in the village gradually subsided, although everyone didn't say anything, but everyone had a tacit understanding to avoid the Zhou family, and even Zhou Dalang's family rarely went out, as if they were going to be isolated from the world, and the door refused to open.

In fact, the first month of filial piety mainly refers to the women and children in the family, the labor force in the family should go out or go out, otherwise it will be a busy farming period, and then come out after the first month of filial piety, the weeds in the field are almost more than the crops, so Zhou Dalang will still go to the field every day to farm, but will avoid the crowd far away.

In the past, when everyone was tired and resting in the fields, they would gather under the shade of the trees next to the village road to chat and talk about what happened to someone's house, which was also a way to relieve fatigue, and Zhou Dalang was no exception, although he would not actively participate in the discussion, but he would sit on the side and listen to others happily.

Now he sits in the field without saying a word, and after resting for a while, he gets up to do farm work, finishes today's business early, goes home early, and hardly communicates with others.

Seeing this, the mean-spirited villagers said that he deserved it, and that with such a pair of parents, the children were not necessarily good seedlings.

And some soft-hearted villagers expressed sympathy, feeling that the fault of the parents should not be blamed on the children, and wanted to pull Zhou Dalang back into the chat team, but he was rejected one by one, and everyone shouted a few times to not move him, so they had to forget it.

The affairs of the Zhou family also slowly faded after Uncle Zhou was executed, like a stone sinking to the bottom of the sea, except for the ripples that first appeared on the sea surface, and then the wind and waves were calm, and there was no trace of wind and waves.

Summer is the rainiest time of the year, with a rainy season or two in a row, and for villagers who depend on farming for their livelihoods, the more rain the better, so that the crops can grow faster.

For Gu Changning, more rain is also beneficial, because many fungus will grow in the mountains and forests at the beginning of the heavy rain, although they are not big, but there are many of them, and every time after the heavy rain, she will go to the mountains to pick them back, wash them, dry them, and put them away.

From the first time she started picking fungus, to about July, two months had passed, and in the past two months she had picked up a lot, and the pots in the house were full of several, and she wondered if it was time to go to town and sell them.

A pound of dried fungus can soak out more than ten catties of wet fungus, and she has to have three catties of dried fungus after picking it, so that there are at least thirty catties of wet fungus.

According to the calculation of five cents per pound of wet fungus, it can be calculated as almost one penny and five cents of silver.

Gu Changning couldn't help but sigh after passing the seconds in his heart, he could only earn one and a half cents of silver after two months of hard work, and it was nine dollars of silver in a year, less than one or two pieces of silver.

Not to mention that the fungus only comes out in summer and autumn in a year, so it is good to be able to collect black fungus for half a year.

In this way, there will be less money, Gu Changning shook his head, trying to comfort himself in his heart.

The so-called accumulation of small amounts, no matter how small the fly is, it is also meat, how much can this fungus be sold, anyway, there is no capital, and selling a copper plate is also profitable.

Now that he has decided to sell it, Gu Changning has also begun to prepare relevant items.

Because I still remember the last time she went to the market to set up a stall without Ah Niang's permission, and when she came back, Ah Niang was so angry, this time she didn't dare to make up her own mind, and directly told Ah Niang her intentions, waiting for Ah Niang to nod.

"You're going to sell fungus?" Yang Huiyun was holding a small bucket of water in her arms, and was scooping a gourd to water the soil ridge in the backyard, and when she heard Gu Changning's words, she asked with some surprise.

"Well, I have collected more than three catties of dried fungus, and after soaking, it will be at least thirty catties, and it should be able to sell when accumulated."

Yang Huiyun was silent for a moment, looked at her daughter again, and hesitated for a few seconds before nodding and responding: "Okay, you can take it to the store and ask, but A-Niang told you that this thing is afraid that it will not sell well." ”

Smaller stores are doing small business and pay more attention to stability, and vegetables with unstable quantities such as fungus are generally not wanted.

Because if the sales are good, it is easy to lose customers if you can't purchase them stably.

If it doesn't sell well...... If it doesn't sell well, what does the store do with it, and keep it for the New Year's tooth sacrifice?

Gu Changning also knew this truth, she was not hit by A-Niang's words, she only nodded, and said, "A-Niang, don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

Yang Huiyun knew that Gu Changning was stubborn and didn't admit defeat easily, so she didn't say anything and let her try it herself.

She didn't know that Gu Changning was going to take it to the restaurant to ask for the price.

Smaller stores focus on long-term business and small profits but quick turnover, so they naturally want to retain regular customers, so they need to have a stable supply of vegetables.

But places like restaurants don't pay so much attention to small profits and quick turnover.

After all, a dish of food in a restaurant can be sold for one or two taels of silver, and the business direction of the same small shop is different, Gu Changning feels that he still has a good chance to sell it.

With Yang Huiyun's permission, Gu Changning began to calculate which town it would be more cost-effective to sell in.

There are several neighboring villages in the vicinity of Xinghua Village, and these villages are surrounded by several towns, so she naturally has to think about it.

Since it is to be sold to a restaurant, it must be a rich town, and this town must be accessible in all directions, with many caravans coming and going, and the restaurant business is constantly the best.

Gu Changning thought about it, but still felt that Donghuang Town was the most in line with her inner requirements.

There is a vast river in Donghuang Town, which is one of the branches of the waterway that undertakes the north and south, there is a big wharf by the river, there are many traders who come and go every day, and there are many people who live in the store to rest, she thinks that the fungus may be able to be sold in Donghuang Town, so she wants to try it.

"Donghuang Town?" Gu Huai'an was slightly stunned, but quickly understood her plan, and said briskly, "Okay, let's go to Donghuang Town tomorrow." ”

Although Yang Huiyun agreed with Gu Changning to sell this dried fungus, she still didn't allow her to go out alone, just because Gu Huai'an would take a break in the school tomorrow and have time to accompany her.

When he got up early the next morning, Gu Changning still wore his brother's old clothes that he used to wear like he did last time when he sold raspberries, dressed as a little boy and followed his brother to the town with a basket of fungus.

Today is not the market day of Donghuang Town, there are not many people coming in and out of the city gate, a few in twos and threes, even the guards guarding the city are lazy, sitting at the square table on the edge of the city gate and chatting, only from time to time to lift their eyelids and glance at the people who enter and leave the city, and then retract their eyes with an indifferent face, and continue to talk with other guards.

Because Gu Changning's sale this time was not for the people who were rushing to the market, she didn't care if it was a market day or not, she only picked a day when her brother's school was on holiday and came together.

"Ning Ning, have you figured out which restaurant to go to sell these dried fungus?" Gu Huai'an looked at this bustling town and asked a little crampedly.

Although he also studied in the town, but Xingshui Town and Donghuang Town can not be compared, there are not so many merchants, nor so many gorgeous and exquisite small items, he has seen so many shops on both sides of the street since he entered the city, and the people of Donghuang Town are also walking on the street endlessly, which is more lively than when Xingshui Town catches up with the market.

"Of course, it's the best restaurant." Gu Changning was much calmer than Gu Huai'an, although she was also looking left and right at these small shops selling all kinds of jewelry, fabrics, spices, gouache and so on, but her face did not change in the slightest, as if she had seen it countless times, she was used to it.

"I just don't know which restaurant is the best restaurant in Donghuang Town, let's ask?" Gu Changning said.

"It's fine." Gu Huaian obeyed his sister's arrangement and had no objections.

Just as they walked from this street to the next main street lined with restaurants, Gu Changning's pupils shrank suddenly, and he stared directly at a certain restaurant on this main street.

"Ning Ning, what's wrong?" From Gu Huai'an's point of view, he could only see Gu Changning staring at a certain restaurant with a luxurious appearance, but he couldn't see the waves under her eyes, and thought that his sister had taken a fancy to this restaurant, so he consciously raised his feet and went over, "Do you want to pick this one and ask?" Let's go, then. ”

"Wait." Gu Changning saw that his brother was about to walk to that restaurant, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab him, shook his head and said, "No, we don't choose that one." ”
