Chapter 302: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 30
"Xiuqin, very good!" After the man left, Gu Yong also gave Li Xiuqin a thumbs up.
"Hmph, that's it!" Li Xiuqin felt a little embarrassed. She said it awkwardly and turned around to do something else.
Gu Qian grinned and looked at Gu Yong, their eyes full of smiles but they both tacitly did not make any sound.
There weren't many people eating noodles in the afternoon. Apart from that man, there were only four or five people who came to eat noodles and dumplings.
The main reason is that in such a small place, few people are willing to spend twelve cents on a bowl of noodles.
Those who have the money and are willing to spend it generally would not choose to eat noodles in such a small shop, but would rather prefer to eat in a restaurant.
However, Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin were not discouraged. After all, this was something they had thought of a long time ago.
In the past, they were not willing to spend twelve cents to buy a bowl of noodles, not to mention that a family of three needed thirty-six cents, which was enough for a month's food if they lived frugally.
The only thing they didn't expect was that the steamed buns were selling so well.
There were about a hundred buns in total, and they were all sold out. They made nearly 200 wen just from selling buns. Including noodles and dumplings, they made a full 300 wen a day.
After deducting the costs of meat, vegetables, flour, etc., they can easily make a net profit of 200 coins.
In the past, Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin combined could not earn this two hundred coins in a month.
Now, they can earn it in a day.
At night, they thought about it and could only think that maybe it was because Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu's bun shop laid a foundation for them, so that many people habitually came to buy buns in the morning.
However, after this incident, the reputation of their steamed bun shop was completely established.
Many people know that the Liu’s Steamed Bun Shop in the west of the city has changed its owner and is now called Gu’s Steamed Bun Shop, and the taste is even better than before.
So much so that every day they would move the steamers filled with buns outside, and they would all be sold out in a short time.
Moreover, most of their time is actually spent on getting the buns.
The person who bought twenty buns from them on the first day would buy so many buns from them almost every day.
If you are unable to come due to lack of time, there will be other people who will come to take care of you.
Later, Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin found out that the man was a smart and sweet-talking servant in the house of Mr. He, a famous merchant in Wu County.
Mr. He made his fortune in his early years by hoarding land with the remaining money from his family. Many courtyards and plots of land in Wu County belonged to him.
Later, after Wu County developed, he sold part of it and kept the rest as rent, making a huge fortune.
When he had money again, he built a restaurant and an inn in the best location on the main street.
The largest He's Restaurant and Decai Inn in Wu County belong to him.
It can be said that he is the richest man in Wu County.
Ever since the day he brought the buns back from their home, everyone in the He family, from the steward to the other servants and maids, had been clamoring to eat them. Even Mr. He, who only tasted a bite after being repeatedly persuaded by the steward, couldn't stop praising them and later ate two more.
So, it later evolved into collective purchasing.
Because there were many people in the He Mansion, Mr. He simply sent someone to order thirty meat buns and thirty vegetarian buns directly from the bun shop every day, and the servants of the He Mansion would come to pick them up.
This is the fastest and largest order the bun shop has received since it opened, and it is also the one that has lasted the longest.
Almost as long as this bun shop has been open, Mr. He's family has been placing orders from them.
As for the noodle and dumpling business, although it is not as popular as the steamed buns, the reputation of the steamed buns has attracted many diners who want to try their noodles and dumplings.
Of course, Li Xiuqin almost lived up to everyone's expectations and tried her best to do everything perfectly every time.
Although there are occasional accidents, they do not have much impact on the overall business.
In this way, Gu’s steamed bun shop opened in Wu County for eight years, and Gu Qian grew from a little girl into a young girl.
Over a period of eight years, Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin bought a yard in Wu County. The yard was not big, but it was close to the bun shop, and Gu Qian spent his entire childhood here.
At the same time, two years after opening the bun shop, Li Xiuqin, who had not given birth for many years, became pregnant again, and Gu Qian also had a younger brother, Gu Xuan, who was ten years younger than her.
Little Gu Xuan has been particularly fond of Gu Qian since he was in Li Xiuqin's belly. Whenever Gu Qian gets close to him, the fetus will move.
Later, he was born and cried loudly when the midwife patted him. But as soon as Gu Qian approached, he stopped crying and looked at her with his big tearful eyes, as if he wanted to remember the person he loved.
In this family, his favorite person is Gu Qian, followed by Li Xiuqin, and the one who is treated the worst is of course Gu Yong.
When he was just born, Gu Yong couldn't even get close to Gu Xuan. As long as he tried to hug him, Gu Xuan would immediately burst into tears.
At this time, as long as Gu Qian came, Gu Xuan would immediately stop crying and shouting, then grin and look at her and reach out for a hug, and the effect was immediate.
Of course, he also liked Li Xiuqin very much. As long as Li Xiuqin held him, he would not cry or make a fuss. He would only cry when he wanted to eat or because of some physiological problems.
Gu Yong racked his brains but couldn't figure out why he was so unwelcome. This had never happened when Gu Qian was born. Why did it become like this when it came to this brat?
Of course, Gu Qian was also thinking about this question.
In the end, she concluded that this was probably because newborn babies generally have weaker senses but better perception abilities.
The rich spiritual energy on me attracted him, so he liked to be close to me so much.
However, Gu Qian also really enjoyed having such a cute and adorable creature acting coquettishly beside her every day.
Although having a big age gap between siblings is not a good thing, one good thing is that she is old enough to hold a child.
A cute big-eyed baby likes to lie on your shoulder and act coquettishly every day, calling you "sister" and "sister" in a soft voice. Who wouldn't be happy about that?
Gu Qian is almost melted by cuteness, okay?
As for why he was so repulsed by Gu Yong, it was probably... because of the smell on him.
Because of opening the store, Gu Yong had to do a lot of things. Many of the hard work that Li Xiuqin could not do fell on Gu Yong alone. In addition, he had a physique that sweated easily, which led to a mixed odor on his body.
Little Gu Xuan might be averse to such smell, so he doesn't like Gu Yong's approach.
Perhaps Gu Yong later realized this, or perhaps it was because of Li Xiuqin's reminder. In any case, every time before he wanted to hug little Gu Xuan and get close to him, he would first wash his body and change into clean clothes.
The result was obvious. Gu Xuan no longer rejected his approach. Although there was no joy on his chubby face, it was still cause for celebration. Gu Yong finally got the recognition of his beloved son.
