Chapter 2 What Are You Going to Eat?
Shinong Industry and Commerce!
Even in the Dajing Dynasty, the merchants were rich in the world, and even if their actual status in society was not low, in the eyes of the rulers, they were always targets that needed to be attacked.
Just by placing the merchants at the bottom of the social class, we can see that they are full of malice towards the merchants.
If there is no backer, those famous businessmen are just lambs to the slaughter after all.
There are people in the DPRK and China who are easy to do.
Driven by this concept, Gu's father did not ask Gu Ming to learn the way of doing business, but sent him to Yangtang Academy, the most famous in Qingyuan County, to learn the scriptures and righteousness, in order to gain fame.
After the death of Gu's father and mother, the entire Gu family's industry was like a huge cake, and everyone wanted to take a bite.
The former partner, the shopkeeper below, seems to be a loyal housekeeper.
One by one, they showed their hideous and ugly faces, and used various means to constantly embezzle the Gu family's property.
Gu Ming, who has no business experience, where is the opponent of these old foxes?
In the end, I can only watch my own industry shrink.
Faced with the sad news of losing his parents, Gu Ming was still able to put away his grief, because he knew that he still had a younger sister to take care of, and he couldn't fall down.
And Gu Nian'er, who heard the bad news, fainted and died at that time, and then had a serious illness.
In order to treat his sister, Gu Ming could only keep selling his property, until the family wealth was about to run out, and Gu Nian'er's body improved.
Otherwise, he would not have fallen here, leaving the prosperous county town and moving to live in the ancestral house in Shikou County.
This ancestral house can be said to be the last property of the brother and sister.
Although there are such and such wicked people in this world, there is no shortage of well-meaning people.
This is the case with Shikou County Lieutenant Qin Tai.
He saw that the brother and sister were really pitiful, and he helped them many times in private.
Seeing that Gu Ming was also a scholar, he found a job in the county government for him to write official documents.
Although he wants to gain strength and avenge his parents, what he needs to solve urgently now is to support himself and his sister.
Therefore, Gu Ming was very grateful to Qin Tai for this move.
......
When Gu Ming came to the county office, Gu Nian'er in the Gu Mansion was sitting at home, thinking about something.
Recalling that in the morning, his brother didn't seem to take his own heart at all, and still regarded himself as a little girl, Gu Nian'er puffed up his face into a small bun angrily.
"Stupid brother, I'm serious this time!"
Gu Nian'er took a sip in her heart.
Although she complained, as soon as Gu Nian'er thought of Gu Ming, a sweet feeling came to her heart, making her smile unconsciously.
In fact, before the Gu family changed, although Gu Ming and Gu Nian'er were brother and sister, they actually didn't have much contact.
Gu's father had great expectations for Gu Ming, and let him learn it when he was very young, followed by the Four Books and Five Classics, and the Sons' Classics.
He is in Yangtang Academy, and it is rare to go home several times a year.
Because of this relationship, there has always been a kind of estrangement between siblings.
Gu Nian'er has been playing with the maids and servants in the house since she can remember, and she doesn't know much about her brother.
In the few meetings a year, although Gu Nian'er felt that the person she should call "brother" should be a gentle and good-tempered person, but for some reason, she was a little afraid of him.
It wasn't until after Gu's father and mother had an accident that the relationship between the brother and sister grew by leaps and bounds.
Both parents died, and he was shocked to hear the bad news, and he fell ill.
Fortunately, with her brother's meticulous care, she got out of the haze and recovered.
This made her feel that it was good to have such a brother.
For some reason, she felt an indescribable feeling between herself and her brother.
It was as if there was a wonderful connection, with a silk thread connecting the two.
"Why don't you cook a big meal for my brother at noon today!"
Recalling his brother's words in the morning that made him so angry, Gu Nian'er had this thought.
When it comes to doing it, although she has never cooked, it does not affect her eager heart to try it out in the slightest.
As for what it will be, only God knows.
However, since it was a big meal, Gu Nian'er naturally had her own ideas, and she was going to go to Jifeng Town.
For the sake of water quality, the tofu produced in Jifeng Town is exceptionally delicious, there is a Great Yasukuni Emperor Weifu private visit here in history, a taste of Jifeng tofu immediately shocked by the heavens, immediately ordered this tofu to be listed as a tribute.
It's a pity that the mountains are high and the water is long, and the tofu is not easy to preserve, and it often rots halfway through, even if there are some immortal methods, it can be kept fresh, but it also has to be given up because of the huge cost, which makes the emperor feel a great pity.
However, as the people of Shikou, everyone still has this blessing.
Jifeng Town is not far from Shikou County, only three or four miles away, seeing that it is still early, Gu Nian'er immediately prepared to set off.
Although Jifeng tofu is also sold in Shikou County, firstly, the vegetable market in Dongshi is also three or four miles away from Gufu, and secondly, there are middlemen in it to make the difference.
However, what Gu Nian'er wouldn't have expected was that along the way, a pair of vicious eyes stared at her
......
In less than half an hour, Gu Nian'er came to Jifeng Town, and at this time, the flow of people came and went, bustling, and it was not lively.
However, Gu Nian'er felt an unusual aura, she looked around and soon discovered the source of this aura.
"Boom. ”
It was a little girl who was crying, I don't know if she was separated from her family or something else, and she was squatting there crying alone.
The strange thing is that there is a lot of people coming and going, but no one seems to notice her, as if everyone is indifferent to it.
Gu Nian'er was a kind-hearted girl after all, and after hesitating, she decided to take a look.
"Little girl, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Nian'er patted her gently, and she quickly turned her head.
This is a very cute little girl, carved in pink and delicate, and there are big tears on her face. It's just that Gu Nian'er doesn't know why, and she feels a little weird.
Gu Nian'er was startled by her sudden turnaround, her heartbeat missed half a beat, and a feeling of uneasiness came to her heart.
However, the next sentence of the "little girl" shocked Gu Nian'er.
"Sister, I'm hungry. ”
This is actually the voice of a little boy!
"Huh?"
Gu Nian'er's eyes widened, and she carefully re-examined him, and found that he was really a little boy, but this little boy looked a little too "beautiful".
"Sister, I'm hungry. ”
The little boy's voice sounded again, and Gu Nian'er came back to her senses: "Are you hungry, sister, buy cakes for you to eat." ”
"I don't like to eat bread. ”
The little boy shook his head.
"Don't you eat the bread? You always eat the meat buns, right?"
In Gu Nian'er's opinion, meat buns are already the most wonderful food in the world.
"I don't eat either. ”
"I don't eat this, I don't eat that, so what are you going to eat?"
At this moment, Gu Nian'er was also a little angry, she was kind enough to buy something for this little boy to eat, but he was still picky, which made her look at him angrily, thinking about whether she wanted to hit this bear child's ass.
As if he was waiting for Gu Nian'er's words, as soon as the words fell, the little boy changed his previous pitiful appearance, his body trembled slightly with excitement, and a pair of eyes stared at Gu Nian'er viciously with endless greed.
"I'm going to eat you!"
