After Xiao Fubao's Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital Chapter 161

Chapter 161 Reach the sky in one step

Shopkeeper Luo is like a cat that sneaks into the kitchen when it smells something.

Zhang Yunniang hurriedly said to Zheng Cuier: "This is the owner and shopkeeper of De Shenglou in the county, shopkeeper Luo."

"Shopkeeper Luo, this is my sister-in-law, Mrs. Zheng."

Zhang Yunniang gave Zheng Cuier another look: "Put a bowl of both sweet and salty ones."

Zheng Cuier hurriedly filled out two bowls of bean curd, poured the toppings on them and brought them to him.

Zhang Yunniang took out a small plate of prepared braised dried beans and braised bean paste from the cabinet.

Shopkeeper Luo loves to eat and knows how to eat. After getting the beancurd, his whole face was almost buried in the bowl.

Liu Xiaoru was a step late. She rushed over after all the braised food in the shop was sold out. When she entered the kitchen and saw everyone immersed in eating beancurd, she didn't need anyone to greet her, so she shouted: "I want something sweet!"

Niuniu puffed up her cheeks and silently gave up her position.

Shopkeeper Luo ate quickly, even eating two bowls, but he finished the dish faster than Niu Niu.

"It's delicious, but it's a pity that the tofu pudding is not freshly baked. Has it been reheated for a second time?" Shopkeeper Luo asked tentatively.

Zhang Yuniang couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and said: "They say that shopkeeper Luo loves to eat, and I can see it today."

Liu Xiaoru also put down her chopsticks and said, "The dried tofu sold well in this store today, and the braised bean dip diners also like it."

Zhang Yunniang turned to Liu Xiaoru and explained: "Of the two baskets of dried tofu you made, I will sell one to the braised food shop, and I will keep the other basket for Shopkeeper Luo to keep an eye on."

Shopkeeper Luo picked up a piece of braised dried tofu from the plate. After tasting it, he said: "The taste is just too strong, but it's a little bit too hard to eat. Could you please Madam Gu and make another stir-fry?"

Fried dried tofu is a quick dish, and Zhang Yunniang cooked it quickly.

Shopkeeper Luo tasted a few pieces and said, "Yes, I bought as much dried tofu as you can get."

When Zheng Cui'er got the money for two baskets of soy products, she couldn't stop the surprise on her face. She originally thought it would be difficult to do business in the city, but she didn't expect the money to come so quickly.

Shopkeeper Luo added: "It's a pity that we don't sell breakfast in our store. Otherwise, we could ask Mrs. Zheng to make a special trip to our store to sell beancurd."

After hearing this, Zhang Yuniang asked: "Shopkeeper Luo, what do you think if Mrs. Zheng comes to the city to set up a stall?"

Shopkeeper Luo said with a smile: "The relationship is so good, I can't say I have to visit the stall every day."

Liu Xiaoru said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Luo said that, and it's definitely true."

Shopkeeper Luo added: "If you make dried tofu well, the tofu should be good as well. You can open a tofu shop in the city and the business will definitely be good."

Zheng Cuier sighed and said, "The rent of shops in the city is expensive, I'm afraid I can't afford it."

Liu Xiaoru suddenly became excited and said: "If you go to the city to open a shop, you don't need a good location. You can just take over the shop where we sell braised meat. The rent is cheap, so you don't have to worry about making money."

Zheng Cuier suddenly moved and looked back at Gu Laosan.

Gu Laosan was a little hesitant. He had spent his whole life in the countryside and rarely faced such a big decision.

Zheng Cuier could still chat and laugh with shopkeeper Luo and Liu Xiaoru. When Gu Laosan saw a stranger entering the kitchen, he immediately acted like a quail and didn't dare to say a word.

Zheng Cuier had been with her husband for so long and understood his character quite well, so she said, "You capable people all say so, and you are absolutely right. But I can't make the decision on this matter. I still need to discuss it with my family."

Liu Xiaoru didn't force her to agree on the spot. After all, there was a braised food shop with a booming business, so she didn't have to worry about losing her shop.

After Niu Niu finished eating her beancurd, the group of people changed places to talk. Gu Laosan moved closer to Zheng Cui'er and said, "Cui'er, we really want to come to the city to open a shop? Didn't we say that we should try setting up a stall first?"

Zheng Cuier nodded and said, "Everyone is willing to help. It would be best if we could open a shop directly."

Gu Laosan, however, was trembling with his hands on his family.

"Tui'er, our family only has this little money. What if we lose it all..." Gu Laosan said.

Zheng Cuier frowned and said, "Let's come to the county again tomorrow."

"What are you doing here?" Gu Laosan was confused.

Zheng Cuier is a person who wants to do whatever she wants, so she said: "Send the tofu over and give it to Deshenglou."

"Free gift?" Gu Laosan was reluctant to part with it.

Zheng Cui'er said: "I don't want to let the child go without trapping a wolf. If shopkeeper Luo likes it, let's talk to him again. If there is a restaurant, we can buy our tofu steadily. The money earned will probably be enough to pay the rent of the shop. Then we can sell it in small pieces." The tofu that goes out is pure profit.”

The more Zheng Cuier thought about it, the more she felt that this business could be done.

The more Gu Lao San thought about it, the more uncertain he became. While Zheng Cui'er was washing the dishes, knowing that she would probably help tidy up the kitchen soon and would not leave the kitchen for a while, he quietly walked into the yard and found Gu Lao San. too.

"mother…"

Mrs. Gu held a handful of chicken food in her hand, stretched her neck and looked into the room, pricking up her ears to hear what was said inside. When she suddenly heard a sound, she was so frightened that she almost dropped all the chaff.

"Why are you scaring me?" Mrs. Gu scolded dissatisfied.

Gu Laosan promised: "Tui'er wants to come to the city to open a shop."

Mrs. Gu was frightened again: "Why are we opening a shop so soon?"

"I think so too, it's too fast... Why do you want to reach the sky in one step?" Gu Laosan said pitifully.

Mrs. Gu was not as pessimistic as he was, and said directly: "If you really reach the sky in one step, then your life as a third-bedroom wife will be much easier."

Gu Laosan's eyes lit up and he said, "Mom, I'm just asking you to come up with an idea. If you say we can do it, we'll do it."

Mrs. Gu thought about Gu Mingda's evaluation of Zheng Cuier, and said after careful consideration: "Your wife has an idea. Since she thinks so, there should be no problem. Just listen to her from now on."

Gu Laosan was stunned when he heard this and said, "Mom, do you think we should come to the county to open a shop?"

Mrs. Gu said: "I actually don't know for sure, but I believe in your wife."

Mrs. Gu was afraid that her son who had no idea would be confused, so she said earnestly: "Third son, although your wife is the stepmother, we all see how she treats her two children. In the past six months, Xiaoya and Xiao Bao, you are much stronger and more cheerful than before. This is all due to your wife, you must be grateful."

Gu Laosan nodded and said, "I know everything."

Because Niuniu likes Zheng Cuier, the old lady's five-point trust in Zheng Cuier has now become ten-point.

The old lady still remembers that the people Nannan liked in the past were all first-class good people. Since Niuniu is the reincarnation of Nannan, their vision should be the same.

Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaoya rushed out of the kitchen, fighting.

In order to make life easier for the third bedroom, Mrs. Gu took her two children and warned her as she had done countless times before: "The stepmother is very good to you. You must be filial to her in the future. If she has children in the future, you must also help take care of her." ,do you know?"
