The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night
Chapter 134: Opening a Shop
Just after sending Bao Tating away, Yunniang came over to report that it was time for lunch. Gu Yiyao was also hungry, so she went to Shouxi Hall where Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu lived.
Now my uncle is preparing for the imperial examination. He has gone to Lushan College recommended by Xie Tingzhou to study for the exam and is not at home.
Gu Yichen went to study at the Imperial College, and as soon as Gu Yulang's eldest son Gu Qianche entered the capital, he was sent to school by Gu Yulang.
Gu Yubai, Yuze and Gu Yu'an had many trivial matters to take care of in the Bo's Mansion, and they basically didn't have much time to eat at home during the day.
Therefore, the huge dining room seemed a little deserted. As soon as Gu Yiyao came in, Gu Qiancheng and Gu Qianchen cheered.
Oh, the big sister is here! It’s time to eat. I want to eat the big chicken drumstick!
Gu Yiyao looked at the two little babies who were dancing with joy with amusement.
The two little kids are the happiest people after moving to Beijing. Before, in Gujia Village, they could only eat meat during festivals.
Now that they have moved to the capital and have the silver rewarded by the emperor, there is meat on the Gu family’s table every now and then.
The two little kids said that the capital was a great place and they would never go back to Gujia Village again!
A baby’s happiness is simple, as long as he has delicious food.
They don’t think about where the delicious food comes from, they simply think that there is meat to eat in this home in the capital!
"Yao girl, I have some extra money and I plan to open a grain store in the capital. What do you think?"
Gu Xiucai had just taken two bites of food when he asked Gu Yiyao somewhat unconfidently.
He had lived in the countryside all his life and suddenly came to the capital city, and he was still a little uncomfortable with the adaptation.
But he still couldn't help but worry about the livelihood of his family. After much thought, he felt that opening a grain shop would be more appropriate.
After listening to her grandfather's words, Gu Yiyao agreed very much. Money is useless if kept in one's hands. Only by buying shops can money make money and buy more shops!
She liked her grandfather's flexible and adaptable thinking.
"Of course, Grandfather. We are from farming backgrounds. You know the most about grain, and buying grain is your main business. But you must ask your second uncle to handle the formalities for you at the government office."
Gu Xiucai received the affirmation from his granddaughter. He suddenly felt that the food that had just been tasteless had become extremely delicious and he grinned.
It seemed as if most of the confusion and helplessness I had felt in the capital over the past few days had disappeared!
"Girl, I'm planning to open a food store on this street to sell spicy noodles!"
Yang also happily said to Gu Yiyao that the hot and sour noodles were not available for purchase for the time being, and she came up with this idea after much thought.
Gu Yiyao looked at Yang in shock. Her aunt was truly a talent among talents!
She only told Yang how to make hot and sour noodles, but never mentioned that there was such a thing as spicy noodles.
She actually invented a spicy noodle dish that people can't stop eating in later generations without any instruction.
"Aunt, how do you know the term for spicy noodles?"
Gu Yiyao asked Yang with some disbelief.
"It's easy. I saw how you made hot and sour rice noodles. I originally wanted to make hot and sour noodles, but I felt that the hot and sour noodles didn't taste as good as the hot and sour rice noodles. After thinking about it, I decided to make spicy noodles. Later, I thought it would sound better to call it spicy noodles. I've even decided to call the noodle shop Gu's Spicy Noodles!"
Yang replied happily that she had already let the Gu family taste it and it had received unanimous praise, so she was very confident in her noodle shop.
"By the way, Yao girl, when is the best time for me to plant the green and red pepper and chili seeds you gave me?"
It was obvious that Yang was completely focused on her career and had no appetite at all. She kept asking Gu Yiyao questions.
"You can plant it in spring and autumn, but it's almost winter now, so it's a bit too late. Aunt, you can plant it next year. I still have a lot of seasonings here. Come with me to my yard after dinner and get them. I guarantee you can use them until next spring!"
When Yang heard that Gu Yiyao still had a lot, she was extremely happy. She looked at Gu Yiyao cheerfully and said:
"Girl Yao, when I make some money, I'll give you a share of the profits. We'll split it 50-50. You can save more for your dowry in the future!"
Gu Yiyao, who was originally a cheerful person, suddenly looked downcast.
The only hobby of these adults is to worry about their own marriage all day long. Who said that girls have to get married?
She won't marry a bastard!
"I don't want your dividends. I don't care about your little money. I am a famous doctor who is worth a lot of money. How can I care about the money from your noodle shop?"
Gu Yiyao had a look of disgust on her face.
After hearing this, Yang knew that the girl didn't want to share her money, but then she changed her mind and thought that Gu Yiyao was very capable.
There was also a wealthy master who really looked down on her and didn't insist.
Life in the capital requires money everywhere, so she has to make money well and try not to drag down her sister-in-law and cause trouble to this girl!
Yang had always thought that she was infertile and really treated Gu Yiyao as her own child. Even after her health improved under Gu Yiyao's care, she gave birth to two sons.
But her love for Gu Yiyao has not diminished at all, and she still treats her as her own daughter. Naturally, she doesn't want to see Gu Yiyao work too hard.
Seeing that her sister-in-law had already found a job to make a living, Xiao Gu became anxious and secretly vowed to herself that she must finish the embroidery as soon as possible and earn some money.
The day after the Gu family moved to the capital, they asked Bao Da Ting to sell an embroidery shop on Luxi Street. She must not be outdone by her sister-in-law!
As soon as Yang finished her meal, she couldn't wait to urge Gu Yiyao to get her some green and red peppers and chili peppers.
Gu Yiyao had no choice but to return to the yard and let Yang wait outside.
She returned to the house, actually she went to the space to give Yang what she needed, and only after sending her away did she feel at peace.
Gu Yiyao calculated the date and found that her mother's wedding was about 10 days away.
She knew that her grandfather bought three shops in the outer city district in not-so-good locations: one was a noodle shop for her eldest aunt, one was an embroidery shop for her third aunt, and the other was a grain shop for himself. He also used the remaining money, including the reward from her eldest uncle, to buy a shop for her mother in the inner city district.
So, in addition to the reward given by the Emperor when he conferred the first-rank imperial edict on my mother, there was also the betrothal gift from the Xie family. In fact, the Gu family did not have and had no ability to prepare any dowry for her.
Xie Tingzhou, including Old Master Xie and Old Lady Xie, would not have any objection, but she learned from the gossipmonger that the Xie family is a large family.
Xie Tingzhou is only the eldest son of the family. There are also the second, third and fourth sons. Although they no longer live in the same house, they certainly have frequent interactions.
She also needs to prepare some gifts for her mother for their first meeting, to avoid giving her any reason to gossip.
My mother has been too well protected by weirdos in her life and doesn't understand the ways of the world, but she would never let her be laughed at by others.
