Chapter 438: Tough Mo Qinzi
Crescent moon cakes are snow skin mooncakes.
Da Chus moon dumplings are round sesame cakes filled with meat or sugar fillings, which are not very tasty. Gu Jinli didn't like Da Chu's mooncakes, so he wanted to make snowskin mooncakes for his family.
After Brother Cheng heard Gu Jinli say that the snowskin mooncakes were beautiful and delicious, he took it in his mind and waited eagerly for Gu Jinli to make the snowskin mooncakes.
"Second sister, I was wrong. I'm sorry. Remember to make me crescent moon dumplings." Brother Cheng apologized to Gu Jinli directly. His eldest brother had taught him that a man should be able to bend and stretch.
Gu Jinli glanced at him: "Small snack, please make the fire better, not too big. If the fire is too strong, the ointment will burn."
After hearing this, Brother Cheng immediately pulled out two sticks of firewood from the small clay stove.
After Gu Jinxiu crushed and sifted the medicinal materials, he took out a small copper scale, weighed the medicinal materials according to Gu Jinli's instructions, and placed them one by one, weighing out fifty portions in total.
Aunt Wu gave a lot of medicinal materials. Even if she made fifty batches, half of the medicinal materials were still useless. Xiaoyu said she would keep them and make them later to sell them for money.
Gu Jinli had to make a lot of scar removal cream this time, so he changed it to a large copper pot. The copper pot was also given by Aunt Wu. Because she made the scar removal cream for Aunt Wu, she got a lot of medicine-making tools for free.
The three siblings got up early in the morning and were busy working at midnight. Finally, they finished fifty portions of scar removal ointment.
"Sister, these are the white porcelain bottles sent by Aunt Wu. After the ointment has cooled down, you can put the ointment into the porcelain bottles and put them in the box in our house. Let's go first." Gu Jinli brought the white porcelain bottle and put it away. On the side, follow Gu Dashan, Cui Shi, and Gu Jinan to the workshop.
Today is already the 13th, so we have to give holiday gifts to the workers in the workshop. The workshop will have a holiday tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so that everyone can have a good holiday.
He Laoguo and He Dazhuang had cleaned up the workshop after finishing their work and were waiting for the owner of Gu's workshop to give them a gift.
Mo Qinzis family and Mo Chunyues family also received the festive gifts and went home happily. But Mo Kuizi was a little embarrassed when he received the Qi family's gift.
After Mrs. Zhang and Mo Qinzi came back, they hurriedly called Mrs. Zhang into the room and whispered: "The Qi family gave a lot of gifts, including three roast ducks, and two pieces of cotton cloth, one red. They said they were making autumn clothes for Sister Qin, tell me... are you going to mention that to our family? Should I quit my job after the festival... otherwise, it won't look good."
Ever since He Cuier's mother slandered Sister Qin that she was interested in Qi Kangping, Gu Daya became interested and asked the third grandmother to quietly mention it to Mrs. Zhang twice that she wanted to marry his sister Qin. The son became Qi Kangping's wife.
Mrs. Zhang is very satisfied with the Qi family: "The Qi family is indeed a good family. Although Qi Kangping is a bit older, he is more honest, his family is reliable, he has a good relationship with his little boss and his family, and he runs a braised food shop. We If Sister Jiaqin gets married, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life."
Mo Kuizi had a dark and sad face: "I know the Qi family is good, but I just think the Qi family is good, so I want to quit my job. How can a father-in-law work for his son-in-law's family in this world? It's not nice to say it. , our sister Qin is still a head shorter than the Qi family, so we dont want the girl to suffer any injustice.
Mrs. Zhang felt that what Mo Kuizi said was reasonable, so she gritted her teeth and said, "You should quit your job after the festival. After you quit your job, our family will relent and agree to the marriage."
"I can't resign." Mo Qinzi opened the door and came in. She looked at Mo Kuizi and said to Zhang, "Dad, you rely on your hard work to earn a living. What's the point of being embarrassed? My daughter doesn't think you are embarrassed. Besides, our family needs money to build a house." House, land, and sending Xiang Ming to school. Without the work of the Qi family, our family will have to lose several taels of silver every month. My daughter cannot let the family lose several taels of silver for the sake of her own face."
Mo Kuizi could earn hundreds of cash a day by killing ducks for the Qi family, which was a few taels of silver a month, but it was quite a lot.
Mo Kuizi saw her coming in and said angrily: "Girl, you have learned how to eavesdrop. Get out quickly. Your parents will decide your marriage."
Mo Qinzi said: "If my daughter's marriage will affect the family's loss of a few taels of silver every month, then my daughter would rather not get married. Our family is no better than the local families. We came here to escape famine. We have to work hard to make money, buy a family business, and the Qi family's work Its very important to our family.
Mo Kuizi was not moved when he heard this, but was angry: "What do you know? Dad didn't do this just for you!"
Mrs. Zhang also said: "Yes, Sister Qin, your father-in-law goes to work for your son-in-law's family. You don't look good on your face."
Mo Qinzi wanted to continue talking, but Mo Kuizi and his wife kicked her out of the house.
Mo Qinzi had no choice but to bite the bullet and run to Qi's house to find Gu Daya.
