After Gu Chengrui left, Manager Liu looked at Chef Zhou and said, “I’ll have to trouble you to work hard today and study these three things thoroughly.
“With these few things, we can let those who don’t like to eat meat have a taste of meat.”
“Don’t worry; I’ll start now.” After Chef Zhou was done speaking, he took a piece of braised dried tofu and chewed it slowly, trying to find out what spices had been added to make it so delicious.
Mrs. Yao saw Gu Chengrui driving the donkey cart at the village entrance. She immediately stood up and said, “Chengrui, did your family really buy a donkey?”
“Yes, Auntie. Nice to see you basking in the sun.” Gu Chengrui replied politely and drove the cart forward.
“Eh, why did you buy three broken water tanks?” After Mrs. Yao saw the hole at the bottom of the water tank, she asked curiously. At the same time, one of her hands tightly grabbed the side of the carriage.
Gu Chengrui looked at her intensely. He understood what she implied without her asking.
This was because Gu Chengxi had made a special trip to his house before he left in the morning. Gu Chengxi told him their family had been eyeing Gu Chengrui’s wealth source. However, he had not expected them to act in full view of everyone.
“What did he buy? Chengrui brings a water tank in and out every day. Don’t you know that?” At this time, Sixth Aunt stood up and walked over. Her eyes narrowed when she saw Mrs. Yao’s hand holding the carriage’s side.
She knew what was going on now. How else would these two ladies suddenly want to learn how to sew shoes from her? It turned out that was a lie, and what they really wanted was to stop Gu Chengrui.
However, she was also quite curious about what kind of business they were doing, so she asked, “Chengrui, what are you doing here every morning? ”
“I’m just sending some bean sprouts to Hongyun Restaurant and stocking up on some medicinal herbs.” Gu Chengrui replied.
“Bean sprouts? What are bean sprouts?” Hearing this, Sixth Aunt Gu became even more curious. She had never heard of bean sprouts before.
“Chengrui, are you referring to the new bean sprouts dish from Hongyun Restaurant? I heard their vinegar-fried bean sprouts are crunchy and refreshing, with a hint of spiciness. They’re very delicious.” At that moment, a woman spoke up.
“Now that you mention it, I heard of that too. Two days ago, when I was at the market, I heard there was a new bean sprout dish that was delicious, and I had to line up in advance. Any later, and it will be gone.”
“Is that true? We have to line up to enjoy a dish?”
“I’ve only heard of it, but I’ve never eaten it before.”
“Chengrui, the bean sprout you’re talking about, is it the same dish they’re talking about? “Sixth Aunt asked Gu Chengrui.
“Yes, but it’s just a vegetarian dish. There’s a lack of vegetables in winter, so that’s why everyone else is interested in it for now.” Gu Chengrui replied.
“That’s already very impressive. We’ve lived our entire lives without even thinking about it.”
“Thanks for the praise. We’ll treat you to some bean sprouts when you come over.”
“Sure, sure, I’ll go when I’m free.” Sixth Aunt Gu smiled and nodded.
“Chengrui, I heard that these vegetables are quite expensive. Can you teach us how to grow them? We can also earn some money to celebrate the new year. ”
“Yes, yes. It’s such a good way to get rich. You shouldn’t keep quiet about it.”
“That’s right. We’ve been affected by your family one way or another. You can’t just keep it to yourselves. ”
…
…
Sixth Aunt Gu felt guilty when she realized they were going too far. She wouldn’t have been curious if she had known this would happen.
She waved her hand and said,” Alright, alright. Are you trying to rob him or something?”
“That’s right. These people have been affected, so why don’t you mention the benefits you got from it?” Mrs. Liu said indignantly.
