027 Long way to go

She carried the basket and walked to the old house, where the whole family was enjoying the cool air in the yard.

"Qing'er, why did you come here if you weren't at home to have a good rest?" The old lady looked at the basket in her hand, "What is this?"

Gu Qing smiled and said, "I have nothing to do at home. We all made some cakes together. This pot is milk tea made by Mo Li. I brought some here for you to try."

She took out the cake mold from the basket and placed it on the table together with the teapot. There were twelve people in the old house, and the cake was cut into small pieces, which was enough for each person to taste.

Mrs. Song, Gu's third daughter-in-law, quickly brought a chair to Gu Qing and asked her to sit on it. Before the old lady could speak, Mrs. Sun said quickly: "Taozi, Xiaolu, what are you still doing?

Hurry over and get it, if you get there late, it will be gone!"

Mrs. Sun twitched her lips. Her eldest niece was too stingy. This thing was cut into such small pieces. Who could eat it?

Gu Qing had a panoramic view of everything.

She didn't say anything and let Gu Tao and Gu Lu each pick a piece to go. Everyone in the second room had a piece of cake.

She took the teapot and poured two cups of milk tea. One cup was handed to the old lady, and the other to the old man.

The cups were small, and one pot was enough to pour out twelve cups. When everyone had finished taking them, Mrs. Gu's third daughter-in-law, Mrs. Song, said, "Xiaozhi, Ergou, Xiaomeng, Xiaoxue, you guys should try a piece too."

Gu Qing smiled. In just a few minutes, she could figure out who was easy to get along with and who was more considerate.

She said: "Third uncle and three aunt, you guys should also try my cake and milk tea, and give me some valuable advice. I'm going to open a shop in town to sell it."

Mr. Gu put down his milk tea and stared at the soft and sweet cake in his hand, a little surprised: "Granddaughter, do you think this is a cake?"

Old Mrs. Gu was very happy: "Old lady, I have never seen anything like this in my sixty years of life. Is this really made in your courtyard?"

Gu Er said carelessly: "The things my eldest niece brought over can't be any worse. You'll know after you take one bite."

He picked up the cake and stuffed it into his mouth. He was stunned: "No wonder it's called cake. It's soft, sweet, and tender. It even has fruits. Oh my God, it's so delicious. My eldest niece, you really made it."

Really? How did you do it? This is amazing!"

Gu San also quickly took a bite and swallowed it whole: "Why does it still taste like hawthorn? This stuff is so sour. I haven't touched it before, but it's actually quite delicious when put in this cake..."

Gu Lu, the youngest, finished the meal in one go and wiped her mouth: "Sister, it's delicious and very fragrant. I haven't eaten enough. Is there any more?"

Mrs. Gu glared at her coldly: "Who taught you the rules of eating when you open your mouth? This is what your eldest sister sells for money. It must cost at least 5 cents per piece. If you want to eat again, just give me the money!"

Gu Qing thought this old lady was so cute, and he helped her solve a big trouble invisibly.

She smiled and said: "I plan to sell this cake for 10 cents a piece, do you think it's feasible?"

Mrs. Sun took a breath. This thing costs 10 cents a piece. That's crazy. 10 cents is enough to buy three big meat buns. Oh, the price of meat buns has increased now. It costs about four cents or two cents.

You can buy a steamed bun with only 10 cents, so why spend 10 cents on this unsatisfactory snack?

However, she would not be kind enough to remind her that her eldest niece would be shut out and she would not earn a penny. Let’s see how the old lady can still be partial!

She smiled and said: "I think 10 cents is a bargain. This thing is the fault of the Gu family. It is the only one in Youshui Town. Selling it for 15 cents is not too much."

Gu Qing originally priced it at 15 cents, but due to natural disasters, many people had little savings at home, so 15 cents was a bit expensive, and she was worried that no one would take it.

10 yuan a piece is not too cheap and acceptable, and she can make a small profit.

After everyone tasted the cake, Gu Qing urged everyone to drink milk tea. After drinking, everyone felt that Gu Qing was going to make a fortune, especially Gu and Gu, who looked at the two elders of the Gu family. They were both grandparents, and their children

Just like a piece of wood, why is the eldest niece so smart?

After everyone finished eating, she said, "I'll think about it some more. I'll go back and rest first."

When she carried the basket back, everyone from Gu Shan, the eldest, to Gu Lu, the youngest, looked at her eagerly. It was obvious that they had not eaten enough, but Gu Qing was the one who wanted them to taste and give opinions, not to make them full.

.

After Gu Qing left, the old lady entered the house and said to Old Man Gu: "Qing'er wants to open a shop, but I don't know if I have enough money."

Old Man Gu was smoking a dry cigarette and thought for a long time before saying: "My family has sold a lot of mushroom money in the past few days. You can give some to your eldest granddaughter. It is not easy for her to take care of a whole family by herself."

Mrs. Gu was busy counting her savings.

Gu Qing has been doing math.

A piece of small cake costs 6 cents, a cup of milk tea costs 4 cents, a month's rent is more than 6 taels of silver, and a day is more than 200 cents.

You have to sell at least 80 small cakes and 80 cups of milk tea every day to make money.

After all, she might as well make money by reselling silver jewelry, ugh!

Gu Qing sighed heavily, there is still a long way to go!

When he got home, Zhu Han was already kneading dough. There were three men at home, and they worked quickly. The three of them took turns kneading out the thin fascia that year.

Gu Qing took a bath and lay comfortably on the bed, sleeping until dawn.

After selling the mushrooms, another thirty taels arrived, and then it was time to bake bread. Zhu Han was very capable of understanding. After making a cake once, he made the bread according to the book. Gu Qing tasted it and it was very good. Zhu Han

Han is really suitable for staying in the kitchen.

Others, especially Gu Nuo, ate three or four meals in a row and were not afraid to hold on.

After eating, Mrs. Gu came over and took Gu Qing into the house. The mysterious Gu Qing didn't know what she wanted to do.

After entering the house, the old lady took out ten taels of silver and placed them in front of Gu Qing.

"Grandma, what are you doing?" What are you doing to give her money?

"Didn't you say you want to open a store? Grandma and your father have discussed it. Since you have turned around and changed your mind, how can we as grandparents not support you? Don't think it's too little." The old lady's family's total savings are only 300,000 yuan.

Two, there are a lot of grandchildren in the family who are getting married.

Gu Qing refused repeatedly: "Grandma, I don't want it. Please take the money back quickly. I have the money myself! Besides, it will be hard for you to let the aunts know about it."

"Here you go, just take it. Why are you talking so much? How can I, the mother-in-law and the head of the house, be afraid of two daughters-in-law?" Mrs. Gu said angrily.

"Grandma, I'm really not short of money, why don't you believe it!" Gu Qing had no choice but to say, "I can earn ten taels of silver by harvesting mushrooms every day, I really am not short of money!"

Even if it's bad, it's really not bad for these 10 taels!
