Chapter 123 Begging

Gu Jinli understood and asked, "Do you want to come to my house to buy tofu and then sell it?"

The middle-aged man immediately said: "Yes, yes, that's what we mean. But after we talked for a long time, this old man named Qin just refused to let us in to talk."

Gu Jinli looked at them and said, "With so many of you coming to the door, which one dares to open the door to you?"

There are only women in the house, and suddenly a group of grown men show up. Who knows what they are here for? Who dares to let them in?

Gu Jinli said to Mr. Qin and the others: "Grandpa Qin, Uncle Luo, thank you very much."

Mr. Qin waved his hand: "Thank you, we have to protect several families at home. When we see so many strangers coming to the door, we naturally have to stop them."

When the third grandmother heard the voices of Gu Dashan and Gu Jinli, she hurriedly shouted from the door: "Da Shan, Xiao Yu, you are finally back." This group of people didn't know what was going on, and they banged on the door as soon as they came. , he said he was going to come in and talk about the tofu business, but he didn’t even give his name, he was like a bandit, he was scared to death!”

The third grandma was frightened by them and was very angry. She was not speaking very nicely at the moment and made the group of people turn red in the face.

The middle-aged man hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Old man, this little girl, and the Gu family brothers, it's our fault today that so many people came all of a sudden."

He hurriedly announced his family name: "My surname is Liang, my name is Liang Zhuzhu. I come from Lianghe Village in front of me. I'm not a bad person. I came here today to sell some tofu from your house and sell it to various villages in Qingfu Town."

Other people in Lianghe Village also said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, we are all responsible people and will not do anything bad. We came here today to talk about the tofu business. There is no malicious intention."

No malicious intent?

Gu Jinli sneered: "Selling tofu from us? Our Gu family's tofu stall is always open. White tofu and seasonings are sold at the stall. If you want to sell tofu, just go to the tofu stall in town. Is it necessary for such a large group of people to surround my house? Are you buying tofu? Those who don’t know better would think you are coming to rob me."

Gu Jinli knew that it was true that this group of people wanted to buy tofu, but it was also true that they had other thoughts, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people coming to the door together.

When the people in Lianghe Village heard Gu Jinli's words, they were even more ashamed, but they were stupid and didn't know how to reply.

It was Liang Zhuzi who said, "Little girl from the Gu family, besides buying tofu today, we also want to talk to your family about other things."

There was some embarrassment on his face. He looked at Gu Dashan and then at Gu Jinli and said, "This matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Why don't you open the door first and let us in. Let's sit down and talk. What do you think?"

Liang Zhuzi's tone was very good, but Gu Jinli and the others still didn't let them in.

Liang Zhuzi had no choice but to continue pleading: "We did something wrong today, but we really want to make a living, and we ask your family to help."

Their village, Lianghe, was poor. In addition to farming, the villagers did odd jobs for others, and they could not earn much money all year round. However, some time ago, something called tofu suddenly appeared in the town. Hey, the one who sells it is called a good one. From all over the country, as long as someone from the village goes to the town, they will definitely ask the people who go to the town to help bring back a few kilograms of tofu.

How many kilograms does this family have? With so many people in a village, that's several hundred kilograms, not to mention there are so many villages in Qingfu Town.

Liang Zhuzi was smart. After learning about this, he immediately invited his two younger brothers. The three brothers went to the town to buy tofu, and then carried the tofu to various villages and sold the tofu at high prices. Don't tell me, such a move really made them a fortune.

But they had only been doing it for less than ten days, and the people in the village knew about it and wanted to sell tofu with them. However, the Gu family's tofu stall only had so much tofu in a day, which was not enough for the people in their village to share.

Liang Zhuzi wanted to come to the Gu family to talk about this, so that the Gu family could supply them with enough tofu every day and let them pick and sell it in various villages.

If possible, lower the price for them and sell to them cheaper.

But who would have thought that they came at the wrong time, and the men of the Gu family were not there, only a few women. They came with so many men again that they frightened the Gu family woman and refused to open the door. They also alerted the two families next door who came to stop them and almost started a fight.

Liang Zhuzi apologized profusely: "I'm really sorry. We didn't know there were no men in your family today. This is really... we really don't have bad intentions."

Gu Jinli didn't care whether they had bad intentions or not, but the tofu matter couldn't be discussed today.

She said: "The tofu business is a joint venture between several of us. It's useless for you to come to our house."

"This..." Liang Zhuzhu and the villagers in Lianghe Village became anxious: "It was actually done by several families in partnership? Then, who should we talk to about this?"

Liang Zhuzi knew about the third grandfather, so he asked: "But are you looking for the old man of the Gu family?"

I heard that the old man of the Gu family also lives in this courtyard.

Gu Jinli said: "Grandpa Third can't decide this matter alone. We will have to discuss it with several parties before we can give you an answer. You can leave first."

In fact, she has also been thinking about making a living from tofu these days.

There is a huge demand for tofu in Qingfu Town. Their tofu business is getting better and better. They also sell seasonings and spices very well. Their family is simply too busy. If they want to make money without getting tired, then The business model needs to be changed.

But she has not told several family members about this idea, and Liang Zhuzi and the others came too unexpectedly today, which scared her family, so she will not let Liang Zhuzi and the others get their wish soon, and has to delay them no matter what, lest this group of people Find trouble for her in the future.

After hearing this, the villagers in Lianghe Village were very anxious and asked one after another: "How long will the discussion take?"

Gu Jinli said: "I don't know."

Liang Zhuzi knew that today's matter was a failure, so he could only say: "Then let's go back first and come back tomorrow."

Then he turned to Gu Dashan and said, "Brothers of the Gu family, we will come again tomorrow. I can't help but apologize for today's incident."

With that said, he took two baskets from the hands of the two villagers and handed them to Gu Dashan: "This is a small gift we brought, please accept it, Brother Gu."

Gu Dashan waved his hand and refused to accept the gift: "You can take the things back. I don't know if it will work out."

Seeing that he refused to accept it, Liang Zhuzi simply put the gift on the ground and ran away with the villagers of Lianghe Village.

"Hey, take your gifts back." Gu Dashan shouted, holding the gifts and trying to catch up, but Gu Jinli stopped him: "Dad, stop chasing me, they're all gone."

Ms. Cui and the others were very frightened, so this gift should be regarded as a shock payment.

Gu Dashan looked at Liang Zhuzi's group of people running away and could only give up.

The third grandma opened the courtyard door and said angrily: "It's almost time to leave. I've never seen anyone talk like this. If this is a good thing, it has to be a bad thing."

"They were just too anxious and made things worse." Father Luo and the others still had work to do. After saying this, they went home and continued grinding beans.
