Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

There were not many people eating at the Gu family that night, including the Gu father and mother, the eldest brother and his wife, the second brother and his wife and their two youngest children, Gu Chunjing and Gu Chunlan, the third brother and his wife and their two children, Gu Youming and Gu Youxing, and finally Lin Shu and Gu Youhui.

There were fourteen adults and children, just enough to fill one table, which was completely full.

Normally, there aren't so many people eating at home. My eldest and second brothers and their spouses usually live in the dormitory at their workplace, and they only come home for dinner occasionally or during the Chinese New Year or other holidays.

When the food was served, the last plate of fried rice bugs scared the children.

"Wow, bugs!"

"Bugs, why are they on the table?"

The children looked at the fried rice bugs in the bowl with horror.

"Who got this?" Gu Mingqi picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he picked up another piece and gave it to his youngest daughter Gu Chunlan: "It's fragrant and crispy. Do you want to try one? It tastes very good."

8-year-old Gu Chunlan protected her bowl in fear, "No, I don't want to eat bugs."

Father Gu asked with a smile: "I haven't eaten this rice bug for many years. Who got it?"

Wang Suzhen looked at the nanny with a questioning look.

Nanny: "Shushu brought it back this afternoon."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Lin Shu smiled and said, "I heard that eating these insects is good for the body and can be eaten by adults and children, so I bought some."

"It's good to eat it." Second sister-in-law Li Ling ate one herself and gave another to eldest daughter Gu Chunjing: "Try it. You don't have the chance to eat it normally. This time you have the rare opportunity to eat two more."

"Hey, Mom, are you sure you can eat it?" Gu Chunjing pursed his lips, looking like he was refusing.

"Sure, eat it. You stupid kid, would I eat it if I couldn't eat it?" She had clearly just eaten one first, but the child was still questioning her.

Gu Chunjing was still struggling with his conscience.

Lin Shu picked up one and fried it. The insect was no longer white, but slightly yellow, and exuded a very special fragrance. He threw it into his mouth and bit it lightly, and the insect burst. It was crispy and had a special fried fragrance, which was really delicious.

"When I was a kid, my dad would sometimes bring back these rice bugs and fry them in oil for us brothers and sisters to eat. We all liked the taste, and since I was the youngest in the family, I was always the one who ate the most."

Gu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded: "It tastes good. We also ate it when we were young."

The other adults took one to taste, and the fear in the children's eyes was lessened a lot when they saw it.

Gu Chunjing picked up the insect and took a small bite. His eyes lit up as he rolled his tongue. "It smells so good."

Gu Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing, and picked up one for each of his two sons, "Hurry up and try it, your old man won't lie to you."

Except for Gu Chunlan, who refused to eat it no matter what, the other three bravely tried it. Later, they were conquered by the fragrance of the rice bugs and all the half bowl of bugs on the table went into their mouths.

The Gu family has a large population and everyone eats together, so the quality of the food is definitely not as good as before in the county town.

I only fried four dishes tonight, two of which were green vegetables, one was dried fish with chopped peppers, and the other was fried eggs with leeks.

However, because there were so many people, the portion of each dish was quite large.

After dinner, I returned to the second floor and was found by Gu Youhui.

"Aunt, this is your capital and share today."

Lin Shu took the stack of bills he handed over, nearly one hundred and eighty.

She was startled. “How many bundles did you sell? Why are you paying me so much?”

Gu Youhui said happily: "Six bundles, the capital is 90, and the profit is 89."

Lin Shu looked at the boy helplessly, counted out ninety yuan from it, and stuffed the rest into his pocket. "From now on, you only need to give me the principal. Whatever you earn, no matter how much you earn, is yours. You don't have to give it to me."

"Didn't we agree to be partners?" Gu Youhui wanted to take out money, but Lin Shu held his pocket. "On the first day, I just took you to get familiar with the environment. Just give me the money that day. From now on, treat it as your own business and don't worry about me."

"Okay." Gu Youhui scratched his head embarrassedly, but he became excited when he thought that he had earned more than 170 yuan today.

Why would you still go to work if you can earn so much in a day?
