Gu shouxin recounted the incident of selling the dregs of sea pepper. âXin Xin, come, calculate for Grandpa. How much money can your family earn from selling this dregs of sea pepper this month?âGrandpa Gu was surprised after hearing this. After he calmed down, he gave his granddaughter another chance to calculate. âFour hundred Wen per catty. One hundred catty is forty taels of silver. Once every three days, ten times a month, thatâs four hundred taels. Isnât that right, Grandpa?âGu Xin put down her chopsticks and answered crisply. âYes, yes, yes. Xin Xin is really amazing. Youâve got it right.âGrandpa Gu smiled. âOnce every three days, one hundred catties at a time. Even if you only have fifty catties of sea pepper in a hundred catties, you still need five hundred catties of sea pepper in a month. Where do you get sea pepper from?âGrandma Gu immediately thought of the question and asked with a frown. Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nianzhi both looked at Gu Shouxin, wanting to see how he would answer. The family had not yet decided on what to say about the source of the pepper. They had not expected that they would have to sign the contract with the restaurant directly today. Gu Xin lowered her head and ate her rice. She was not used to lying to her grandparents. Unlike her parents and sister, they would definitely be able to tell that she was lying in an instant. Therefore, the best solution was not to speak. âMother, we have our own sources for the sea pepper. Donât worry about it. There are still a lot of sea pepper in the jar at home, enough for two deliveries. There were some sea pepper in the yard before, we plucked them all and made them into dregs of sea pepper.âGu shouxin had thought about this question just now, therefore, his answer did not falter at all. The parents in the hostâs memory were not as easy to fool as the brothers. âYou and your wife still have some benefits from your laziness this time!â! Did you say that you bought chili from the South Prefecture? The weather there was good, and there was such a thing all year round. But the price was not cheap either, and you sold it to the restaurant at this price? Can you make money from it?âGrandma Gu thought that the couple was too lazy to tidy up the vegetable garden, that was why she picked up this bargain. She believed Gu Shouxinâs words, but at the same time, she was worried about the problem of the source of the goods. âMom, thereâs no problem with this. If we canât find the source of the goods or feel that itâs too expensive, we can directly ask the restaurant to provide the raw materials. Weâll do it and charge some processing fees. Anyway, I wonât do a loss-making business with my son,âgu shouxin said with a smile, he said. It made him very happy to have a wife and daughter in his new life. Similarly, he was also very happy to have such sensible parents and brothers. It was as if what was missing in his previous life had been made up for in this life. âSecond uncle, you might as well sell the recipe directly to that restaurant. You Donât have to go to the trouble of finding chili and grinding rice and noodles,âsaid Gu Hui from the large house. âSister Huihui, you donât understand. Itâs a loss to sell directly. If the price is high, people wonât buy it. If itâs low, we wonât sell it,âsaid Gu Nianzhi. âYou donât do embroidery anymore? Second Uncle Wants to study, and second aunt often goes out to chat with others. Donât tell me youâre planning to let Xinxin make this dregs of sea pepper all by herself?âGu Hui said bluntly. She had long disliked the second wife and her family of three. She had always felt sorry for Gu Xinxin, and had often made fun of Gu Nianzhi. âI donât do embroidery anymore! Thatâs more eye-catching than cooking food. Sister Huihui, be honest, the food I make tastes better, and the embroidery looks better?âGu Nianzhi wasnât angry at Gu Huiâs attitude at all, and asked with a smile.
