Chapter 127 Pushing
Mr. Luo’s idea came to him very quickly.
Luo Zhang showed a good talent for reading at a young age, and his future career was bright and promising to the naked eye. The Luo family had only a few heirs, so the Luo family cared more about their family's health than sharpening their heads to climb the ladder.
Mr. Luo was inevitably led astray by the wet nurse. He thought Luo Zhang really cared about Niu Niu.
After dinner in the evening, Mr. Luo left his grandson alone.
"A Zhang, grandpa, will you ask Niuniu to be your wife from now on?" Mr. Luo asked directly.
As soon as Luo Zhang took a sip of tea, he started coughing and coughing, and his face turned red from the coughing.
"Grandpa, I'm only seven years old. Isn't it too early for you to say this?" Luo Zhang said anxiously.
Mr. Luo carefully observed his grandson's expression and asked suspiciously, "You don't want Niuniu to be your wife?"
Luo Zhang emphasized again: "I'm only seven years old! Seven years old! Who can arrange a marriage for a seven-year-old baby!"
The seven-year-old child was more shameless than anyone else and had no love in his mind. In his heart, Niu Niu was just a special playmate.
Mr. Luo said: "What's wrong with the age of seven? Many people get married while they are still in the womb."
Luo Zhang's ears were red, and he just felt that it was impossible to explain to the old man, and said: "Grandpa, don't just say that you want to be my wife when you see someone. The last time you saw my aunt's daughter, she said the same thing."
Mr. Luo said: "That time it was adults teasing you, why did you take it seriously?"
Luo Zhang shook his head and said, "I'm only seven years old. I won't talk about getting a wife until I gain fame."
When Mr. Luo saw his grandson's firm look, he suddenly looked regretful and said with emotion: "Niuniu is so cute. No one who has ever seen her can say anything bad about her. Why don't you know how to settle first and what to do if someone robs you later?"
Luo Zhang looked at his grandfather like an ignorant child.
Mr. Luo was annoyed when he saw this look in his eyes, so he simply drove them away: "Go back, you have no vision, you will regret it in the future."
But these words finally planted a seed in Luo Zhang's heart. When he stopped reading in the evening, he suddenly looked at Fang Yuan who was sleeping on the table next door. He couldn't help but think about it. I am Niuniu, I will definitely not sit here and doze off.
Wait until I see Niu Niu again the next day.
Luo Zhang saw the little girl jumping and running towards her from a distance, and he felt excited for some reason.
But he still didn't understand why he was so excited. Just like before, he would be happy when he saw Niuniu, and he felt particularly happy playing with her.
Mr. Luo thought that his grandson was unwilling, so he stopped thinking about going further. He still let the Gu children eat from time to time, and instead treated Niu Niu as his granddaughter.
The days are getting warmer day by day, and in a blink of an eye, I take off my cotton-padded jacket and put on a thin summer shirt.
Thanks to Deshenglou's tireless publicity in the past few months, the Gu family's stewed vegetable business has taken off completely. They used to cook three pots a day, but now the five pots in the Gu family's house are full every day.
Almost everyone in the county knows that there is a delicious braised food restaurant on Yuanbao Street in the county.
The braised food shop and Desheng Lou are like tied together. Desheng Lou proves that the braised food shop sells high-quality braised food, and the braised food shop in turn proves that Desheng Lou does not sell delicious food.
Under this win-win effect, Deshenglou's business is booming every day, and there is also a long queue at the door of the braised food shop.
Liu Xiaoru originally wanted to hire a few helpers to cook three large pots in the backyard of the shop, so that she could sell eight pots of braised food a day.
But Gu Mingda stopped him. His reason is also very simple: "First of all, there are many people, and if someone steals the recipe, the gain will outweigh the loss. Secondly, things are rare and expensive, and selling too much is not good. Our shop does not sell overnight braised food. If it’s not sold out on any given day, wouldn’t the remaining braised food be wasted?”
The Gu family now sells five pots of braised food, two pots are sold to individual customers every day, and three pots are sold in restaurants, including two pots in Desheng House and one pot in Chunfeng House.
Liu Xiaoru listened to the advice and finally did not bother with this issue anymore. Now she sells five pots a day and her family already earns a lot of money.
But Liu Xiaoru still had her own worries and complained: "Other restaurants also want to buy our braised food. I really don't want to sell it to a guy named Cheng. He comes to the store every now and then to pester me. I get annoyed when I see him."
Zhang Yunniang glanced at her distressedly, but still advised: "Doing business is based on integrity. Since it was agreed before, we should not change our words easily."
Liu Xiaoru almost started from scratch, learning how to be a businessman. She naturally understood this truth, but it was just a vain complaint.
"I will be in charge of the shop during this period. You have a good rest. If the man named Cheng comes, I will just send him away." Zhang Yunniang said.
Liu Xiaoru shook her head and said, "It's okay. I'll let Mrs. Feng deal with him. If he keeps nagging me, I'll let Mrs. Feng beat him with a broom."
Niu Niu, who was eating snacks on the side, heard this and immediately became excited: "A fight? I want to fight too! I will protect Aunt Liu!"
Liu Xiaoru was naturally overjoyed when she heard this. She hugged the little girl into her arms and said, "It's a pity that Cheng only comes when Niu Niu is going to school. I can't see Niu Niu showing off her power."
Niu Niu also had a sad face when she heard this, but she quickly became positive again and said: "When people come, go to Luofu to find me. I will ask for leave from my husband."
Zhang Yunniang stretched out her hand and tapped her daughter's smooth and white forehead: "I don't agree with you asking for leave and not studying at will!"
When Niuniu heard this, she was about to get involved with her mother.
A familiar voice sounded outside: "Xiaoru."
Liu Xiaoru hated Cheng He to the point where she felt sick when she heard his voice.
Niu Niu suddenly got up from her arms and rushed to the corner nimbly. The little man, who was no taller than the table, raised a broom that was almost as tall as herself and shouted towards Cheng He:
"Don't pester Aunt Liu!"
Niu Niu stood at the door of the shop, thinking that one man was in charge and no one could get through.
But in reality, in everyone's eyes, she looked like a little kitten jumping up and down.
As expected, Cheng He didn't take it seriously. Instead, he bypassed him and headed towards Liu Xiaoru: "Xiaoru, we have such a close relationship, you might as well give me some extra time..."
"Don't pester Aunt Liu! Hit you, hit you, hit you!" Niu Niu, the little cat, hit her with a broom.
Cheng He also didn't expect that Niu Niu would be beaten as soon as she said so.
The child's unorganized attack was actually not difficult to deal with. Cheng He grabbed the broom and pulled Niu Niu staggering, almost falling to the ground.
Liu Xiaoru suddenly rushed over in a hurry and beat him: "Cheng, come to me if you can! Bullying children is nothing!"
Cheng He was completely stunned. He remembered that he had been careful enough and didn't do anything to Niu Niu at all.
"I didn't hit her, I really didn't hit her!" Cheng He explained eagerly.
