Gu Rao was already thinking about tomorrow.

"What should I give you?"

Bieye said, "We are in the food business, so let's give them some food."

-

The next day, the couple got up early as usual. After preparing the food to be sold today, Gu Rao came to Xiang's door with a food box.

Just in time the door opened from the inside.

Zhou Yanzhuo took the broom and was about to sweep the door. When she saw Gu Rao and the food box in her hand, she asked in surprise, "Why did you come here so early in the morning?"

Gu Rao smiled and said, "Come and bring you some food."

Zhou Yan put the broom next to her and wiped her hands on her apron. She went to take the food box from Gu Rao's hand and said sheepishly, "Why are you so embarrassed?"

"Why are you giving us food for no reason?"

The food box has three layers in total.

When I opened the food box, I saw that there was a large bowl of mochi on the top shelf, at least ten of them, a plate of milk cakes on the middle shelf, and some fruits on the bottom shelf.

They are two apples, two pears, two red pitayas, two large mangoes, two peaches, half a catty of lychees, and a small watermelon.

The watermelon and lychee are chilled, and there is still a hint of coolness on them.

Zhou Yan was stunned.

"Why are there so many fruits?"

He quickly returned the food box and said, "Such an expensive fruit must be very expensive. It's still so fresh. You can keep it for yourself!"

Gu Rao said, "Yesterday, your master brought someone to take care of our business. We should naturally reciprocate. These fruits are our heartfelt wishes. Just accept them."

Zhou Yan's heart moved slightly.

"Then I won't be polite this time."

"You have a wide variety of fruits. For some people who specialize in buying fruits, not only are the fruits not as diverse as yours, they are also not as fresh as yours."

"May I know where you bought it?"

Without waiting for Gu Rao to answer, he thought that they were doing business with these fruits. He knew that his question was a bit presumptuous, so he added, "If you don't want to say it, forget it."

"When our family wants to eat fruit occasionally, can we buy it from yours? Your fruits look really fresher than those on the market."

"It looks like it was just taken off."

Gu Rao, "..."

I touched the truth unintentionally, wasn't it just picked from space in the morning?

This cannot be said externally.

"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I can't say it."

"The people who sell the fruit to us are our relatives. They sell it to us at cost price and make almost no money from us. If people in the market know about it, it will be difficult for them to make more money in the future."

"They do a lot of business, and merchant ships often pass by us. The fruits we buy are brought to us by them, and they don't even confiscate the freight."

Zhou Yan had no choice but to give up her thoughts.

Gu Rao has a relative who is in the fruit business, so she can get the fruit at cost price without shipping. If she buys it, the price may not be lower than the prices offered by other fruit merchants in Yebo Town.

"I was abrupt just now."

Gu Rao smiled and said, "I'll discuss it with my relative next time and see if we can sell us more fruits. At most, we can give him more money so that he can make some money."

"If you still want to buy fruit then, you can buy it from me. I will sell it to you at whatever price you got it from your relatives."

Zhou Yan was moved.

"Then I'll get rid of you."

"I'm not taking advantage of you in vain. From now on, when you go to our restaurant to eat, I will only give you the cost of buying groceries, and I will never charge you with the price."

-

After Zhou Yan took the fruit back, she did not wash it for her family to eat.

She divided the fruit into three parts. One part contained an apple, a pear, a dragon fruit, a large mango, a peach, three liangs of lychees, and a small watermelon; one part contained an apple, a pear, a dragon fruit, and two Two lychees; the last portion had a big mango, a peach and two big, red lychees.

The family members got up one after another.

After breakfast.

Zhou Yan gave the largest portion of fruit to Xiang Fengsheng and the slightly smaller portion to Xiang Shuiqi. In addition to the fruit, she also wrapped some mochi and milk cakes in paper bags.

"Feng Sheng, take these to the academy and give them to your wife. When you study in the future, if you encounter something you don't understand, don't be embarrassed and ask him more."

"Shui Qi, take these to your master. He usually teaches you very attentively, and even praises you as the most satisfactory disciple he has taught. You have to thank him."

Xiang Fengsheng was a little helpless.

"Mom, just buy some things to give as gifts. This is what Boss Gu sent for us to eat, but you gave it away again. Isn't it good for others to find out?"

Zhou Yan glared at him.

"What's wrong?"

"Wouldn't it be a waste to eat such an expensive thing by yourself?"

Xiang Fengsheng, "..."

Zhou Yan continued, "The things you gave to your master have been given by others before. There is nothing new. Master will not remember you at all."

"The fruits delivered this time are all good, and they are so fresh. There is no other fruit shop in town that can buy such fresh fruits. My wife will definitely like them."

"I eat more salt than you walk. You can do whatever I ask you to do. Where does all this nonsense come from? Is it because you have read some books and you think you are more tolerant than a mother like me?"

A loving mother often loses her sons.

Even if the eldest son is a scholar, in front of her as his own mother, he must first be filial and obedient as a son before he can have the dignity of a scholar.

She doesn't look down on some families. Except for one precious child who is studying, he is treated as an ancestor and the whole family listens to the scholar.

Before the scholar in the family has passed the examination, she, the mother, still has to make the decision. Only when she sees her son's true ability will she be willing to listen to her promising son in everything.

Xiang Fengsheng reluctantly agreed.

"It's up to you."

-

Gu Rao knew nothing about what happened to the Xiang family. He only knew that many scholars came to the shop to buy food today. After asking, he found out that they were all from Qiushui Academy on West Street.

It turned out that after Mutian left Xiang's house yesterday, he did not go home. Instead, he asked the boy to come to the casserole rice noodle shop to buy food and bring it to the classmates in the college to taste.

After having a taste, these scholars came today.

Those who could afford to study and enter Qiushui Academy either had real talents and were admitted without tuition fees, or their families were not short of money.

Scholars spend money lavishly.

It’s clear that he doesn’t have a big appetite, but he still wants to try every flavor. We share a table together and it’s better to buy and taste together. Some people buy all the food in the shop by themselves and can’t finish it in the end. I also knew how to save, so I packed them up and took them back. Some of them got up and left as soon as they wiped their mouths, leaving the rest alone.

-

Before closing time, all the desserts and milk teas were sold out. In the afternoon, only casserole rice noodles were available for sale, and there were far fewer customers coming to eat.

Gu Rao sat down and rested for a while, finally not feeling so tired anymore.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his smooth forehead and said to Bieye beside him, "I have been customizing a batch of milk tea cups before. Who knows that I have been very busy during this time, so I finished this task."

"It just so happens that there isn't much business this afternoon. You can't do it alone. I'll go to the carpenter's house and get this done."
