Shopkeeper Liu secretly let out a sigh of relief. He originally thought that the peppers had been bought out by Yipin Pavilion, but it turned out that they had not. This was easy to explain.

But in the past few months, he could only watch Yipin Pavilion make a lot of money.

Shopkeeper Liu stood up and bowed: “Second Master Gu, I’m also busy in the shop, so I won’t bother you anymore. If the peppers are harvested, you must notify me first.”

Gu Zhang laughed: “Of course, of course, I’ll let my son send you a letter when the time comes.”

After sending Shopkeeper Liu away, Gu Zhang hummed a tune and returned to the backyard.

Mrs. Chen asked with a smile: “What’s wrong? Seeing you like this, is there any good news?”

Gu Zhang smiled and said: “It’s wonderful news. The shopkeeper of Zuixianlou came to our house to buy peppers. I guess, the more time passes, the more people will know about this pepper, and the more people will buy it.”

“Our peppers will be sold without any worries.”

Mrs. Chen said angrily: “Are you still worried about this? I knew that peppers would be sold without any worries after they were grown. That Young Master Zhu is not a fool. How can he spend so much money to buy them if the products are not good?”

Gu Zhang bowed and said: “My wife is wise.”

Mrs. Chen smiled and said: “I don’t know where you learned to be so slick every day.”

During dinner, Gu Zhang discussed with Mrs. Chen: “It’s already the New Year, it’s time to send this year’s silver and grain to Mother.”

Mrs. Chen said: “Should we take coarse grains or fine grains?”

Gu Zhang paused. In previous years, he always took coarse grains, but now his family eats rice and flour every meal, so it seems unreasonable to give coarse grains to his mother.

He thought about it: “How about giving her two taels of silver in total, and buying whatever she likes to eat.”

Mrs. Chen nodded, it was better this way, so as not to be criticized.

After dinner, Gu Zhang waved his hand and called Gu Fei: “Let’s go to the farm together.”

Gu Fei was free at the moment, so she happily followed her father.

Arriving at the farm, Gu Zhang went to the upper room to give the old lady money, and Gu Fei went into the eldest aunt’s house. The eldest aunt’s family was making ginger candy.

The family had no income, so they had to find ways to make money.

When Gu Fei walked in, she saw a long iron nail nailed to a pillar in the house, and her eldest cousin was pulling candy.

He threw the syrup on the nail, hung it, stretched it, threw it again, hung it, and stretched it again, repeating this action over and over again.

Gu Fei saw that the candy had been pulled white, and a sweet and greasy fragrance filled the room.

The eldest aunt was sprinkling flour on a chopping board, and turned back to smile at Gu Fei: “Xiao Fei, you came at the right time, the candy is about to be ready, and I will cut a few for you to try later.”

“This candy is softer and delicious than the ones sold outside.”

So Gu Fei waited obediently for the candy.

After the candy was pulled, the eldest cousin put it on the chopping board and rolled it into thin strips. The eldest aunt took a pair of scissors, smeared it with oil, and cut it diagonally, and the ginger candies came out one by one.

Juhua took one and gave it to Gu Fei. Gu Fei put it in her mouth. The soft candy was still warm and a little sticky when chewed.

While chewing the ginger candy, Juhua said proudly: “I have been going to the city with my eldest brother to sell candy every morning recently, and I can sell dozens of coins a day.”

“Juhua is capable.” Gu Fei praised with a smile.

Juhua blushed: “No way, my cousin is capable.”

While talking, a sharp woman’s voice suddenly sounded outside: “Shameless thing, what are you doing?”

Gu Fei heard it sounded like Mrs. Qian’s voice.

What happened?
