Wan Lifang said sincerely: "Dad, you also know the situation of our family. Life is becoming more and more difficult every year. If there is no more income, our father and son will not be able to continue reading this book. If there is Miss Gu, With the dowry and the continuous dividends from Gu's Restaurant and Gu's Workshop, our family's life will definitely be better."

Wan Xiucai knew that his family's life was difficult. After listening to Wan Lifang's words, he pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "My son is right. You can't study and learn without money."

"It's just that... Dad is still not willing to accept it. Our Wan family is of your generation, and it is fitting that we should marry a girl from an official family. Now we can only marry a girl from a well-to-do family with some money."

Wan Xiucai beat his chest and lamented that the fate of his Wan family was not good. After two generations of hard work, he had not yet become an official.

Wan Lifang was a wolf. In order to comfort Wan Xiucai, he choked with red eyes and said: "Dad, it is just a temporary measure for us to marry Gu Dafu's daughter in order to have money for our father and son to study. After a few years, we will have a son." After passing the examination, she will be demoted to a concubine, and she will beg to marry an official lady and become the lintel of my family."

Wan Xiucai was stunned, feeling that his son had gone too far: "Isn't this bad?"

But Wan Lifang said righteously: "Dad, when it comes to marriage, we have always paid attention to the right family. If his son is admitted to the official position and becomes an official, he will naturally marry an official lady. Gu Dafu can't say anything. After all, when the time comes, My son is an official."

Wan Xiucai thought about it and felt it was right, so he nodded.

Seeing that he agreed, Wan Lifang immediately said: "Dad, you still have to go talk to Mom, I'm afraid she won't agree."

Wan Xiucai's face turned cold and he snorted: "I am the head of the family, how dare she refuse to agree? If she refuses, I will write a letter of divorce to divorce her."

It's okay if she doesn't help the Wan family, but she still dares to use the Wan family's money to supplement her parents' family. It's okay not to want such a mother-in-law.

Gu Yumei didn't know that she had been targeted by Wan Lifang and was still eating with the Yuan family's mother-in-law.

Gu Jinli and the others were very busy, so they could only take turns eating in the kitchen. After eating, I had to bring food to the guests, so I was very busy.

While he was busy, Liang Zhuzi came with two restaurant owners.

Wang Yongfu recognized Liang Zhuzi. When he saw him, he directly welcomed him into the shop and shouted towards the side room: "Master, Brother Liang is here."

After hearing this, Gu Dashan hurried out. When he saw Liang Zhuzi, he was stunned: "Brother Liang, I haven't seen you for more than a month. You have changed a lot. I didn't dare to recognize you at first glance."

Today, Liang Zhuzi is wearing a brand new brown gown and a hat. He has gained weight and his face is rosy. He looks completely different from the tired one more than a month ago.

Liang Zhuzi laughed and said, "Brother Gu, you see, no matter how I change, I will still be the same Liang Zhuzi."

He quickly introduced Gu Dashan: "Brother Gu, this is Shopkeeper Feng from Changfeng Building in Hukang County; this is Shopkeeper Lin from Yongxing Building in Daxing Town. They like your shop's braised meat and roast duck very much, and came here to place an order with you." .”

Gu Dashan had heard of Shopkeeper Lin from Yongxing Building. However, this was the first time Gu Dashan had heard of Shopkeeper Feng of Changfeng Tower.

Shopkeeper Feng was only in his early forties, but he was thin and had two deep nasolabial lines on his face. He looked like he was fifty years old. When he saw Gu Dashan, he held his hand and said to him: "Gu Dongjia, this is Hu Kang The shopkeeper of Fenglou, the county magistrate, after eating your roast duck and braised meat in Daxing Town, he felt that the taste of these two items is really wonderful. Today I came here to buy the goods. I also hope that for the sake of Brother Liang, Mr. Gu will add some braised meat and braised meat. Roast duck for us at Changfeng Tower.”

Shopkeeper Lin next to him also said: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Lin also came here specially to ask for goods. Brother Liang should have told you about our Yongxing Building. Our Yongxing Building is a century-old store that has been around since the previous dynasty. You can rest assured when doing business with our Yongxing Building."

Gu Dashan would not reject Shopkeeper Lin. As early as when they were making braised food, they had been thinking about doing business with Yongxinglou. Just because Shopkeeper Lin is sincere and has been doing business with Liang Zhuzi and others for so long, he has never lowered Liang Zhuzi's price. When Liang Zhuzi and the others encounter trouble in Yongxing Town, Shopkeeper Lin will help them. He is a good person.

It’s just Shopkeeper Feng…

Shopkeeper Feng is not a fool if he can be a shopkeeper. Seeing Gu Dashan's worries, he directly took out his household registration and handed it to Gu Dashan: "Gu Dongjia, please see, this is Feng's household registration. Feng's family background is innocent, although it is not You are from Tianfu County, but you can rest assured when doing business with our Changfeng Tower."

Gu Dashan didn't know many Chinese characters, and there was a large seal specially stamped by the county government on the household registration, so he couldn't read it.

Gu Jinan had noticed this place for a long time and invited Shang Xiucai and Shang Lichang over.

"I'll take a look." Shang Lichang took the household registration from shopkeeper Feng, squinted at it for a while, and then handed it to Shang Xiucai directly: "Old man, my eyes are hard to use, Wen Yuan, you scholar, come and take a look. .”

After hearing this, Shopkeepers Feng and Shopkeeper Lin were both surprised and bowed to Shang Xiucai: "It turns out that this brother is actually a scholar. I am disrespectful and disrespectful."

Shang Xiucai said: "A small scholar is not worth mentioning. You two brothers don't need to be so polite."

Shangli snorted twice and said in agreement: "He is indeed a young scholar, not comparable to your father-in-law, who is the county captain of our Tianfu County."

Gu Jinan held back his laughter. Chief Shang was worthy of being a chief. These two words shocked Shopkeeper Feng and Shopkeeper Lin.

But Gu Jinan underestimated Chief Shang Li. After he said this, he added: "Speaking of which, your father-in-law is just a county lieutenant or an assistant officer. He is not as good as Xu County Magistrate, who is the chief official of our Tianfu County. But The county magistrate is a good eater. Because he loves the braised meat and roast duck from Dashan's shop, he heard that the shop was opening today and sent Master Tian to deliver a plaque. He can be regarded as a loyal gourmet. "

This time, not only shopkeepers Feng and Lin, but also Liang Zhuzi were shocked and asked: "Brother Gu, the county magistrate sent someone to deliver a plaque to your shop?"

Gu Dashan smiled and nodded: "Yes, I gave you a plaque from Gu's Restaurant, which is already hanging on the door."

There were many guests in the lobby waiting to get things. After hearing this, someone living in the town said: "No, when Master Tian and Master Jiang came to deliver the plaque in the morning, everyone in our town saw it. , everyone came to watch the excitement for a long time, Brother Gu and the others are so handsome that everyone who opens a shop in the town is envious of them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qingtian came out with a basket and handed it to the person who had just spoken: "Uncle Hong, here are your two kilograms of braised fish cubes, one kilogram of fried tofu, and eight bean dregs cakes. Go to the counter. Pay, where will Grandpa Qin collect the money?"

The shop opened today and it was too busy. Mr. Qin was old and didn't like to entertain guests, so he just sat at the counter and collected money.
