Gu shouxin recounted the incident of selling the dregs of sea pepper. “Xin Xin, come, calculate for Grandpa. How much money can your family earn from selling this dregs of sea pepper this month?”Grandpa Gu was surprised after hearing this. After he calmed down, he gave his granddaughter another chance to calculate. “Four hundred Wen per catty. One hundred catty is forty taels of silver. Once every three days, ten times a month, that’s four hundred taels. Isn’t that right, Grandpa?”Gu Xin put down her chopsticks and answered crisply. “Yes, yes, yes. Xin Xin is really amazing. You’ve got it right.”Grandpa Gu smiled. “Once 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?”Grandma 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. “Mother, we have our own sources for the sea pepper. Don’t 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.”Gu shouxin had thought about this question just now, therefore, his answer did not falter at all. The parents in the host’s memory were not as easy to fool as the brothers. “You and your wife still have some benefits from your laziness this time!”! 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?”Grandma 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 Shouxin’s words, but at the same time, she was worried about the problem of the source of the goods. “Mom, there’s no problem with this. If we can’t find the source of the goods or feel that it’s too expensive, we can directly ask the restaurant to provide the raw materials. We’ll do it and charge some processing fees. Anyway, I won’t do a loss-making business with my son,”gu 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. “Second uncle, you might as well sell the recipe directly to that restaurant. You Don’t have to go to the trouble of finding chili and grinding rice and noodles,”said Gu Hui from the large house. “Sister Huihui, you don’t understand. It’s a loss to sell directly. If the price is high, people won’t buy it. If it’s low, we won’t sell it,”said Gu Nianzhi. “You don’t do embroidery anymore? Second Uncle Wants to study, and second aunt often goes out to chat with others. Don’t tell me you’re planning to let Xinxin make this dregs of sea pepper all by herself?”Gu 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. “I don’t do embroidery anymore! That’s more eye-catching than cooking food. Sister Huihui, be honest, the food I make tastes better, and the embroidery looks better?”Gu Nianzhi wasn’t angry at Gu Hui’s attitude at all, and asked with a smile.
