Chapter 175 Handkerchief
Gu Yui was frightened by so gangsters talking dirty words around the courtyard wall. She had been honest for more than a month, but she was still jealous of Gu Jinli in her heart. She thought she was just lucky, so she made tofu and seasonings. .
If she is willing to do it, she will be able to make sothing more popular than tofu and spices.
But its just a thought. Not to ntion making other hot-selling new things, she cant even make tofu and seasonings.
Gu Yui felt angry when she talked about this. She talked about starting a business of tofu and spices with several families, but so far they don't know how to make tofu?
They all know about soaking soybeans, grinding beans, filtering soy milk, and boiling soy milk. They also know that making tofu requires brine, but they dont know what the brine is.
Without that kind of brine, she wouldn't be able to make tofu.
There are also the seasoning spices. She knows the raw materials of several spices, but she just can't match the delicious taste.
She tried to grab a handful of each spice and mix it, but the sll was so strong that she wanted to vomit. Not to ntion the delicious fragrance, it almost killed her!
Her second aunt found out about her grabbing powdered spices to make spices. She scolded her and said she was wasting things. The few handfuls she grabbed could be sold for dozens of pennies.
She was not convinced, but had no choice but to hold her breath. I was so bored at ho that I wanted to go out and play with the girls in the village, but I was afraid of eting gangsters and didn't dare to go out. Now because she wants to open a workshop, people from the village co to her ho every day to flatter her.
"Sister i, these are the eggs that my sister-in-law cooked in the morning. Try them. They taste delicious." He Xiangzi's wife took out two eggs and put them on the table for Gu Yui to eat.
Gu Yui glanced at the two eggs, picked up a bean dregs cake, took a small bite, swallowed it slowly, and said: "My family is not short of eggs, you can take it back."
Since starting the tofu business, her family's life has beco easier. Although they can't eat at every day, her father loves them and gives them an egg every day. So it's impossible to bribe her with just two eggs.
When He Xiangzi's wife heard this, her face turned pale. He Danhua hurriedly said: "Sister i, then you can eat my candied dates. My father bought these candied dates in the town and said they were infused with honey. , its so sweet.
With a smile on his face, He Danhua carefully opened the handkerchief and handed a candied date in front of Gu Yui.
"Danghua, there are at least six candied dates in a pack in this town, all wrapped in red paper. Did you really buy this candied date at ho? Could it be so garbage picked up in a nook and cranny?" He Cui'er covered it. Face smiled and said, exposing He Danhuas lies in one sentence.
He Danhuas face suddenly turned blue and white, He Cuier was right. Her family was poor, so how could she afford candied dates? These candied dates were rewarded by a rich man when her father was doing odd jobs in the town. One of the candied dates was given to each worker. Her father didn't eat it, so he took it ho and saved it for her mother, saying that it was Save it for giving gifts or entertaining guests.
It happened that news ca out that the Gu family was going to open a workshop. Her parents wanted to work in the Gu family's workshop. Seeing that she was about the sa age as Gu Yui, they asked her to bring candied dates to flatter Gu Yui so that she would agree to allow her family to work in a workshop.
Gu Yui was very happy to be held by soone, but when she heard this, her face darkened, and she even let her eat the things she picked up. Maybe He Danhua didn't want to work in her workshop anymore.
She snorted coldly and ignored He Danhua.
He Danhua wanted to explain, but He Cui'er took the lead: "Sister i, look at this. This is the handkerchief my eldest brother bought at Qingyun Embroidery Shop in the county town. It is made of brocade. It is from the county town. It is only used by rich girls. It is very expensive. One piece costs one hundred cents. My eldest brother bought two and I kept one for myself. This piece is specially brought to you. You can take it." brocade ?
Gu Yuis eyes lit up when she heard the word brocade.
When she was in her hotown, life was good, and she also had a brocade handkerchief. But since she fled the famine, she has only used burlap. Although life is better now, the family has developed a trend of frugality. Although her father loves her, he only buys cotton and brocade for her, not brocade.
Although Gu Yui knew that it was not good to accept the handkerchief, the handkerchief in her hand was made of cotton, with a cluster of grass embroidered on it with thick threads. It was not comparable to the brocade handkerchief He Cuier gave her. The brocade is so smooth that it can shine through people. There is also a peony embroidered with thin red thread on the brocade, which is so beautiful that it dazzles people's eyes.
Gu Yui was very moved and glanced at the handkerchief several tis. He Cuier was smart. Seeing her like this, he imdiately put the handkerchief into her hand and said with a smile: "Sister i, take it. From now on, each of us will have a brocade." Handkerchief, also do what the rich girls call handkerchief."
Gu Yui pinched the brocade handkerchief in her hand and raised the corners of her mouth. This hundred-penny handkerchief was better than the ten-penny cotton handkerchief. Holding it in her hand, it felt soft and comfortable. She instantly felt that she was more valuable. .
However, how should she refuse He Cuier and not let her family co to work in the workshop?
Surprisingly, He Cuier didn't say a word, as if she didn't give her such an expensive handkerchief just to earn a living.
Gu Yui was very satisfied with this. She felt that He Cui'er was different from He Danhua and Xiangzi's sister-in-law. He sincerely wanted to be friends with her and was not just looking for work in the workshop.
He Cui'er seed to have really co to deliver a handkerchief. After seeing Gu Yui accept the handkerchief, she only sat for a while and then stood up and left: "There is still farm work to do at ho, so I won't stay any longer. I have to go ho and do the work."
With that said, he returned ho, leaving only Xiangzis wife and He Danhua.
He Danhua was still flattering Gu Yui, but Xiangzi's wife looked at Gu Yui with a strange expression. Not long after, she also said goodbye and left, but instead of going ho, she stood at the intersection at the end of the village, waiting for Mrs. Chen.
When Mrs. Chen and others ca back from the stall, Mrs. Xiangzi stopped her and whispered a few words to her. Mrs. Chen imdiately got angry and cursed: "This idiot, she can't live in peace!"
Mrs. Chen didn't even want the burden and ran ho in a hurry. Gu Dagui shouted behind her: "You bitch, why are you so crazy? It's only a few steps away. You're still throwing the burden here. Will you die if you take it back?" "
"Yes!" Mrs. Chen turned around and said one word to Gu Dagui, which scared Gu Dagui. This woman was really angry.
When Mrs. Chen returned ho, she saw Gu Yui sitting in her room, holding a piece of bean dregs cake in one hand and eating it slowly. After eating, she held a brocade handkerchief and slowly wiped the corners of her mouth. He Danhua in the room was still praising her. : "Sister i, your movents are so beautiful, just like the rich lady in the town."
What a rich girl, Gu Yui is just a country girl!
Ms. Chen was almost furious. She suppressed her anger and said to He Danhua: "My sister i still has sothing to do. You should go ho first."
He Danhua saw that Mrs. Chens face looked very bad, so she didnt dare to say anything and ran away in a hurry.
