"Gu family, when will you start selling? This is much later than usual. It's already past time. We have been waiting for a long time." A customer couldn't wait any longer. After seeing several families coming, he asked loudly.
Mrs. Chen hurriedly said: "Don't rush, don't rush. Guests, please line up first and prepare your money. We will start selling in half an hour."
"It's still half an hour later, can't you hurry up? We're here to give you money." Some guests complained even more after hearing this.
Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "I know, I know, all the customers are the gods of wealth in our shop. We also want to start selling as soon as possible, but the auspicious time is the middle of the hour, so we have to wait."
Gu Dagui raised his hands and said to the guests surrounding the shop: "Guests, please wait a moment. When the auspicious time comes, we will open the shop after worshiping the heaven and the earth."
These are people from the town or nearby villages. They are already familiar with the Gu family tofu stall, so naturally they can wait. After complaining for a while, they said: "Okay, let's wait first."
Daughter-in-law, please go in and make golden bean cakes, otherwise you will be too busy when the store opens. The third grandma urged Mrs. Chen, who was still standing at the door of the shop, handing out money from the shopkeepers wife.
After hearing this, Ms. Chen exclaimed and hurriedly went into the shop to work. At the same time, she called some of her children to help in the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Yan, and Aunt Tian were already busy with their children.
Gu Jinxiu didn't like the excitement, so he didn't enter through the main entrance of the shop. Instead, he followed Gu Daya and the others around to the back of the shop and went to the back house of the shop. Now I am helping to pour the raw soy milk into the pot in the kitchen of the back house, add water and sugar to boil.
After boiling the soy milk, she put the soy milk into jars, picked it up to the door connecting the backyard and the shop, and said to Gu Jinli, who was holding fermented fermented beans on the corridor of the kitchen of the shop: "Xiaoyu, the soy milk is cooked, take it." Go and share it with the guests."
They didnt sell soy milk in the past, but today they opened and there were too many customers, so they brought soy milk and gave it to customers for free.
"Hey, here we come." Gu Jinli just responded, but before she got up, Luo Wu came to the door and took the burden from Gu Jinxiu's shoulder, saying, "You can call me to do this kind of heavy work from now on." Do."
Gu Jinli:
Brother Luo Wu, dont think that you can say such flirtatious words to my eldest sister when my parents and eldest brother are not here.
Gu Jinxiu smiled and said, "It's not heavy. I carry water every day at home."
Luo Wu looked at her smile and was in such a good mood that he didn't want to leave, but Luo Huiniang had already ran over and said: "Brother, why are you looking at Sister Xiu and giggling? Hurry up and pick out the soy milk, otherwise the guests will complain. La."
Luo Wu gritted his teeth, why is this girl Huiniang so blind?
But he could only say: "I'll pick them out right now."
He also told Gu Jinxiu: "There are many people outside and it's very chaotic. Just stay in the back house and don't go out, lest you get hit by others."
"Okay, the house in the back hasn't been cleaned up yet. I'll go and clean up the house, and then show my aunt's house the fire in the kitchen at the back." Gu Jinxiu said with a smile.
Brother, why arent you afraid that I will be hit by someone? Luo Huiniang asked stupidly, I am younger than Sister Xiu.
Luo Wu didn't want to pay attention to her, and walked out with a jar full of soy milk: "You know how to punch and kick, and you kicked someone before they bumped into you. I don't need to worry."
Luo Huiniang thought about it and felt that it was right. Her boxing and kicking skills were very powerful.
She ran to the kitchen, picked up a load of wooden bowls, followed Luo Wu to the front shop, and distributed soy milk to the guests waiting outside the shop.
The guests had only seen the people at Gu's tofu stall drink soy milk, but they had never drunk it before. But after tasting the silky and fragrant taste of soy milk, they all liked it so much that they asked one after another: "This is what you often drink." Soy milk is delicious. Not only does it have the aroma of beans, but it also has a sweet taste. Does it contain sugar? Will soy milk be sold in the store in the future? If so, we will definitely buy it."
The third grandpa smiled and said: "We are opening today, so the soy milk is for everyone to drink. It is only for this day and will not be sold in the future." Soy milk is used to make tofu, so it is not cost-effective to sell soy milk alone. Besides, opposite their shop It's the tea house where Ganchang made his fortune. What the tea house sells is drinking. If they sell it, it's equivalent to robbing business and making enemies.
The guests were very sorry to hear that it would not be sold, but they thought it was something for drinking and not as good as eating, so they didnt mention it.
Shang Xiucai has arrived, Shangli Chang has arrived! Zhu Changshou and Wang Yongfu stood on both sides of the shop, clearing a path to greet the distinguished guests who came to congratulate them.
When the surrounding customers heard that Shang Xiucai and Shang Li were coming, they all got out of the way and stopped crowding at the door of the shop.
When Third Grandpa saw Shang Xiucai and Shang Li Chang, he hurriedly took several men to greet them: "Wenyuan, Shang Li Chang, you can come, the shop is really flourishing, please come in quickly."
Gu Jinan bowed to Shang Xiucai and said, "Greetings, sir."
Shang Xiucai glanced at him, nodded, and said to the third grandfather with a smile: "Today is a big day for the third uncle Gu's family. How could Wen Yuan not come?"
It's a pity that the shop was open and crowded, so he couldn't bring his wife and daughter.
He also introduced the third grandfather: "This is Wenyuan's cousin, who is also the head of our area. These two are the grandsons of my cousin's family. The third son, Zimao, and the fourth son, Sheng, are somewhat like teachers and students to me. Qingyi, you can be regarded as my student, and Im here to congratulate you today.
Shang Zimao and Shang Zisheng were about the same age as Gu Jinan. They were both wearing long robes and turbans, dressed as scholars. They bowed to the third grandfather and the others and said, "Junior, I pay my respects to Mr. Gu and several uncles."
The third grandpa looked at the elegant and elegant two people and kept nodding his head: "Yes, yes, these two young men are good at first glance."
Shang Li always loves to eat Gu Daya's braised meat. The first thing he said when they met was not congratulations, but asked: "Brother Gu, the braised meat and roast duck are also sold in this shop?"
Grandpa San replied: "Yes, we will sell it here for the time being. We will move it there after the braised food shop is built."
Shang Li was very happy: "Hey, that's good, that's good. I came here just for the braised meat and roast duck."
The third grandpa laughed when he heard this and invited Shang Lichang and his party into the shop.
Ah Jiu and the servants of Shang Lis family also entered the shop carrying congratulatory gifts.
Not long after Shang Lichang and the others sat down, a sound of gongs and drums came from far and near towards the shop.
Shang Lichang asked: "Brother Gu, your family also hired a musician? Not bad, it should be more lively and festive."
Third Grandpa shook his head: "We don't have any musicians in our shop. Could it be that someone in this town has a happy event?"
"Oh, you didn't invite me? Whose family invited me?" Shang Lichang was also confused.
On the other hand, when Gu Jinan saw Shang Xiucai's presence, he immediately thought of what Shang Xiucai had told him a few days ago, asking them not to make a plaque for their shop, saying that someone would send it to them on the opening day.
This is... coming?
Shang Xiucai glanced at him, nodded slightly, stood up first, and said, "Uncle Gu, maybe something happy is coming to your door. Let's go out and have a look."
