Gu Yanyi appeared generous on the surface, but in fact he felt sorry for everyone and gave a piece to everyone.

"Tsk, Fatty, I thought you were going to give it all to us."

Of course, having said that, they were still very happy eating.

Gu Yanyi could no longer bear it, and finally said: "Don't call me Xiaopang anymore. Do you hear me? My mother calls me Gu Yanyi, so you should call me Gu Yanyi from now on. Otherwise, if my mother makes something delicious, I won't share it with you."

Everyone tasted it carefully, bit by bit, not caring what Gu Yanyi was saying. They just nodded and savored the wonderful aroma in their mouths.

"Um, Xiaopang... no, Xiaoyi, can you give me another piece? I haven't eaten lard residue for a long time. It's so delicious."

Gu Yanyi looked at his friend drooling with some disgust, and he nonchalantly collected the lard residue. The others looked over here, and at this moment they were all a little disappointed.

"Let me tell you, my mother asked us to pick up dead wood and leaves and bring them back. We paid two kilograms for one penny."

Gu Xiaohu asked in disbelief: "Xiaoyi, are you stupid or is your mother stupid? There are dead trees and leaves everywhere. Do you still need them? Do you want to buy them?"

Gu Yanyi looked at Gu Xiaohu fiercely: "Shut up, I don't allow you to talk about my mother."

Gu Xiaohu: ...Okay, okay, okay, that’s enough for me to say you are stupid.

Gu Yanyi turned his head to look at the others: "Since he doesn't believe it, then don't go. Let's go to the mountain to collect it. When we make money, we can buy lard residue from my mother. We have plenty at home."

Seeing that Gu Yanyi didn't seem to be talking nonsense, the others nodded repeatedly, fearing that they would not be able to do such a good job.

Gu Xiaohu was a little anxious, and he pulled Gu Yanyi's hand flatteringly: "Okay, okay, good brother, I believe you, please let me go with you."

Whether it is true or not, just follow it first to find out. If it is true, you will make money.

the town

Gu Yansui successfully drove the carriage to the town. The carriage was quite impressive, and many people passing by on the street looked to see whose carriage it was.

The carriage stopped at Zuixianju first. When the servants saw that it was Zhao Qiqi, they hurriedly asked the shopkeeper Zhang to come out.

Shopkeeper Zhang had already told us that this was a distinguished guest and that he should be invited out as soon as he was seen.

Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the two people standing in front of the carriage and felt a little surprised. This Aunt Zhao was really not an ordinary person. It had only been a few days and she was already using a carriage. Even if it wasn't for the chili peppers, he still wanted to make friends with her.

"Aunt Zhao, long time no see." Shopkeeper Zhang bowed with both hands and eagerly invited the two to come into the restaurant and sit down to chat.

"No need, Shopkeeper Zhang. Penglai Pavilion has come to me many times to buy chili peppers, so I had no choice but to give you the chili peppers that I was going to keep for my own business."

Shopkeeper Zhang was somewhat happy that Zhao Qiqi still considered their friendship and did not give all to Penglai Pavilion. However, he couldn't help feeling worried when he thought that Penglai Pavilion would also have chili peppers.

After receiving the silver, Zhao Qiqi went straight to Penglai Pavilion. After all, it was getting late and he had to buy the iron pot back as soon as possible.

Zhao Qiqi went directly to the He Mansion because she was doing business with Shen Shihui instead of Penglai Pavilion or the He Family, and had to complete the transaction with Shen Shihui in front of the He Family.

When the servant of the He family saw a carriage parked at the door of his house, he hurried forward to greet it.

However, he did not expect that the people inside were all wearing tattered coarse linen clothes, and the footstools that had been brought out were taken back again.

He didn't even greet them. Zhao Qiqi was speechless. The speed at which his expression changed was even faster than turning the pages of a book.

Gu Yansui took Zhao Qiqi's hand and helped her down.

"Where are you from? Don't park your carriage in front of our He Mansion, okay?" The gatekeeper kept urging them to leave.

Zhao Qiqi asked Gu Yansui to park the carriage in the alley at the opposite corner.

"I'm looking for Miss Shen from your family. Please let her know." Zhao Qiqi tried to speak as kindly as possible.

The two servants looked at Zhao Qiqi warily and asked, "What do you want to do with Miss Shen?"

"Just tell her directly that the Zhao family from Gujia Village is here to visit."

The two looked at each other and winked. One of them went in to deliver the message, while the other kept an eye on Zhao Qiqi for fear that she would run away.

After a while, He Honglian came out.

She lifted her skirt and stepped over the high threshold at the entrance of the He Mansion. This was the first time in Zhao Qiqi's original memory that she saw He Honglian with such a kind smile.

"Oh, I said I felt happy when I woke up today. There must be something happy. Sure enough, it turned out that my sister came."

Zhao Qiqi smiled and inadvertently glanced at the hand she extended.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to look for Miss Shen. I wonder if Miss Shen is in the mansion."

He Honglian pretended to be dumbfounded: "Don't worry, Shi Hui told me about the chili pepper. Don't worry, it will be the same if you leave it to me."

She still thought that Zhao Qiqi was the same Zhao Qiqi who didn't even dare to breathe in front of her.

"Sister-in-law, if Miss Shen is not here, I will come back another day to deliver the things. I don't have enough time today and I have to go home to work."

Hearing this, He Honglian couldn't help but feel contempt in her heart for the old-fashioned villagers who had to be mixed up with the mud all their lives and could only do dirty and tiring work.

But she looked even more eager, because she understood the meaning of Zhao Qiqi's words. What could she send as a gift? It was nothing more than chili peppers.

She didn't care what Zhao Qiqi said, she just held her hand and asked directly: "Where is the thing?"

"Aunt, have you seen my guest?"

Several people walked out of the door, and Shen Shihui's voice suddenly made He Honglian's face change.

"Dad, look, this is my husband's sister. Today, she is here to give me some chili peppers."

She simply ignored Shen Shihui and wanted to take all the credit for herself.

"It's all thanks to my aunt. I only went to look for Madam Zhao once, and she came in person." The implication is that He Honglian had tried to look for someone several times but failed, but she succeeded in the first time. You can imagine how capable she is.

That's what they said, but everyone present knew that He Honglian had sent people to look for Zhao Qiqi several times before, but to no avail.

At this time, Shen Shihui's words were just to let Mr. He and Mrs. He know on the surface that she was protecting the face of her elders.

"Mr. He, Mrs. He." Zhao Qiqi greeted the two first, and then said to Shen Shihui: "Miss Shen, I brought a hundred kilograms of chili peppers this time. My son is in that alley. You can send someone to get it."

Shen Shihui nodded gratefully and sent the two servants guarding the door over: "You two, go and get the things back."

The two servants were a little stunned. This woman really knew Miss Shen and was the eldest brother-in-law's sister. They were so neglectful to her just now.

What made them regret at the moment was not just this. The things were originally at the door, but now they had to walk such a distance to carry the hundred kilograms of things back.
