Chapter 357 Consignment
Seeing that they were talking cheerfully, Third Grandpa also joined in the fun: "Since you can't bear the money, then if you lose, the old man will give you the money."
Gu Jinli said: "Third Grandpa, if you give me money, our bet will be increased to two taels of silver."
The third grandpa smiled and shook his head: "Your third grandma is right, you just care about money, and you don't even let us two old guys spare the money. Well, isn't it just two taels of silver, we can afford it, Bet on it."
It goes without saying that the winner was Gu Jinli.
After two days of drying the mosquito-repellent incense, the family lit up the mosquito-repellent incense on the second night. Light smoke drifted out from the lit mosquito-repellent incense, carrying a faint scent of flowers and plants. In just one cup of tea, the house was filled with mosquitoes. .
The third grandmother held an oil lamp and looked at the dead mosquitoes on the ground. She was startled: "Xiaoyu, this mosquito coil of yours is too powerful. The mosquitoes are all killed. Isn't the mosquito coil you made poisonous? Then Will we be poisoned?"
The third grandma looked back at Gu Jinli, her face full of worry.
Gu Jinli shook his head firmly: "No, mosquito coils are made of herbs. The three kinds of herbs can only kill mosquitoes and remove insects, and will not harm humans and animals."
It seems that it is difficult for her to sell her mosquito coils. She needs help from Dr. Wu and the Jiang family, otherwise others will not dare to buy her mosquito coils.
Fortunately, the Qiao Qiao Festival will be held in two days. Mrs. Jiang sent a message to her family as early as the end of June, inviting the sisters to go to Jiang Mansion to beg for clever things.
Just in time to go to Jiang Mansion for a banquet, she brought the mosquito coils with her.
However, before going to Jiang Mansion, she first went to Xuanhufang and showed the mosquito repellent incense she made to Dr. Wu.
Gu Jinli bought her medicinal materials at Xuanhufang. Old doctor Wu knew what mosquito coils she was making. When he saw her bringing two bundles of incense, he was not surprised and asked, "Is this the mosquito coils you made?"
Gu Jinli nodded: "Exactly, it's made of white stem chrysanthemum, white aphid, and red back thorn. These three medicinal materials are harmless to the human body, and they will not produce any toxins when mixed together."
White-stem chrysanthemum, this thing can actually smoke mosquitoes. Old doctor Wu was very surprised. White-stem chrysanthemum is mostly used to remove heat toxins and treat boils, but no one has ever used it to kill mosquitoes.
How do you plan to sell this mosquito coil?
Gu Jinli said: "There are five pennies a piece, I will take four pennies and Xuanhufang will take one pennie. What do you think?"
Im naturally happy to have made a penny for nothing. Dr. Wu sent Gu Jinli out of the backyard and said to her, Ill send someone to notify you after its sold or if there are any problems.
Sure, youve been taking so much trouble. After Gu Jinli left Xuanhufang, he went to Gus Restaurant to help.
After helping to sell out all the food in the shop, I followed Luo Huiniang and the others home in the late afternoon and started preparing gifts for the Jiang family during the Qiqiao Festival.
On the day of the Qiao Qiao Festival, the third mistress called her sisters before dawn and asked them to freshen up.
After two and a quarter of hours of fussing, the third grandma looked at Gu Jinli and Gu Jinxiu who had changed into new clothes and were standing together. She couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes. She said to Cui behind her: "Look, our sister Xiu and Xiao How beautiful is the fish?
Ms. Cui also dressed up her two daughters for the first time. Looking at her two daughters who looked beautiful in long, well-fitting dresses, she couldn't help wiping her tears: "They look good."
When she was in her hometown, how could she dare to believe that her daughter could wear such a beautiful dress? The good clothes at home are all from the second, third, and fourth family. It would be nice if her children could have patched linen clothes to wear.
Gu Jinli said: "Third Grandma, mother, why are you still crying? Wipe your tears quickly, we have to leave."
"Okay, don't cry anymore." The third grandma wiped away her tears and urged them: "Hurry up and have breakfast, or Shang Xiucai's family will come to pick you up."
Sister Gu Jinli hurriedly went to have breakfast.
Not long after we finished eating, the mule cart from Shang Xiucais family arrived.
Gu Jinli, Gu Jinxiu, Gu Jinan, and Luo Huiniang took a mule cart and went to the county seat.
Luo Huiniang was sitting in the mule cart, very excited: "Last year, we went to the county government office to apply for a new household registration. We were in a hurry. I was still hungry and so dizzy that I didn't even see what the county seat looked like. This time I finally You can go take a good look."
Then he asked: "Xiaoyu, let's go play by ourselves. Wouldn't it be bad if we don't call her Gu Yumei?"
