Chapter 35(1/2)
035. Sweetness Restaurant is officially opened~
Gu Xiaoxiao also told Zhou Zeyun that Teacher Xu suggested that he take the children's examination.
"Really? Can I really do it? I... I have only studied for one day. Master, are you really sure? What if you don't pass by then..."
"Don't worry, I believe you. Teacher Xu said you can do it. You will definitely succeed. After all, he came from the Imperial College. This shows that people still have some ability. Just relax, study hard, and go there when the time comes.
Just take the exam, I will wait for you outside the exam room!" Gu Xiaoxiao reassured with a smile.
Zhou Zeyun looked at her bright eyes, which strangely relaxed his heart, as if as long as she was here, he could try anything, just for her!
He nodded, looked into her clear eyes, and said, "Well, okay!"
After that, he studied more seriously, and the children were also very serious, which made Gu Xiaoxiao happy.
Early on the next morning, Qian Bin led people up the mountain, including several masons from the town.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he saw a group of villagers blocking the road. They were all men, and they all wanted to join the construction of the medicine village.
Yesterday he came home very late from the town, and his mother took the initiative to tell him what happened during the day. After hearing this, he carefully told his mother to be more careful when speaking in the future, and not to get into trouble for Mrs. Gu again.
At the same time, he admired Mrs. Gu even more. She could resolve what was originally a farce with just a few words, and even encouraged the villagers to get rid of their grudges and become willing to support her.
Although Qian Bin already knew that someone would join the construction, he was still a little shocked when he saw so many villagers coming.
Without saying anything else after that, he led the people up the mountain. Now that there were more people and more strength, he could more quickly complete the tasks assigned by Madam Gu.
When Qian Bin and others arrived at the center of the mountain forest, they immediately saw a wall of vines blocking the way in front of them. Each vine was covered with dense thorns.
Others have never been into the mountains, so they don't know what it was like here originally. They just assume that the thorns and vines have always been there.
But Qian Bin and Mrs. Gu just came for an on-site inspection yesterday, and he was also surprised when faced with the situation that appeared out of thin air.
However, he guessed that Mrs. Gu might have done this, but what surprised him was that he had no idea how Mrs. Gu did it?
Such a large thorn bush is difficult for anyone to touch. How did Madam Gu move it here?
He would never have imagined that these thorn bushes, which were half as tall as a man, were just tiny seeds yesterday!
Madam Gu is very capable! He no longer hesitated, and knew that this was the boundary drawn by Madam Gu for him, so he called everyone to start work!
Gu Xiaoxiao was also waiting for the villagers to sign up at home. She did not expect that early in the morning, most of the idle women from various families would come and sign up very enthusiastically.
She also knew that many people came here for the twenty cents a day.
But she doesn't care. People die for money and birds die for food. This has been the truth from ancient times to the present!
She made the prerequisites very clear yesterday. If you want to enter the medicine store, you must first look at your character, and secondly, you must learn the knowledge about medicinal materials from her. Only if you pass both of them can you enter the medicine store.
There is an endless stream of people signing up.
Outside Gu Xiaoxiao's house, Wu Huilan secretly observed the situation in the yard.
Of course she didn't come to sign up. She just heard that Gu Xiaoxiaobao was building a medicine store on the next mountain, so she came to see if it was true. She didn't expect that it was true and so many people came to participate!
She was jealous in her heart, why are they both women, even Gu Xiaoxiao was not as good as her before. In the past, Gu Xiaoxiao was fat, lowly, and had a bad reputation! But now why is he so good-looking and still favored by so many people?
He still had the money to buy such a big mountain, but he didn’t even know how to give it to his family. How could he say that the sick man’s surname was also Zhou?
People's lives are getting better and better, but what about her? She can only live in Lao Zhou's house watching the faces of those two immortals. Her husband has been bedridden since he was beaten and vomited blood by Gu Xiaoxiao last time, and she still has to take care of her.
!
They are both women, and she is unwilling to accept it!
He glared angrily at Gu Xiaoxiao, who was smiling and talking to Aunt Zhao, and turned around to go back to Lao Zhou's house.
Gu Xiaoxiao's smile pierced her eyes, he looked extremely proud! She felt that Gu Xiaoxiao was just showing off!
Here, Gu Xiaoxiao was talking to Aunt Zhao, who also came over early to help her with her work. With so many people, they had to separate and line up. Zhou Zeyun and the children also went to class after breakfast. She was indeed a little busy by herself.
Come on, luckily Aunt Zhao is here!
Gu Xiaoxiao divided the applicants into several groups, one group was young women, one group was older women, and one group was older people.
Young women can remember things faster and do things more quickly, so they can be well cultivated.
Women have more experience, are stronger, have their own understanding of things, and are often responsible for handling crops. They can be arranged to be herb farmers and cultivate medicinal materials.
If the elderly do not have any physical diseases and are still healthy, they can do some easy things, such as working in the medicine store, tidying up, collecting some medicinal materials, etc.
In short, as long as people are willing to come, she will give them the most suitable and best treatment if she thinks it is acceptable after inspection!
Then he began to teach them the knowledge of medicinal materials. Gu Xiaoxiao took out some of the various medicinal materials picked during this period in the space early to facilitate their understanding and learning.
Everyone also brought benches from home. At this time, they were sitting in rows in the courtyard and carefully observing every medicinal material Gu Xiaoxiao picked up. Among them were Sister Chunhua from the village chief's family, Aunt Zhao and Sun Shengniang.
Here I am!
When Wu Huilan returned to Lao Zhou's house, she immediately told her husband and two elders about the matter. She wanted them to come forward and maybe get some benefits. Even if they didn't get anything practical, they could cause trouble for Gu Xiaoxiao.
She was also happy. Anyway, she was only responsible for encouraging the two elders, and she just watched the show from the sidelines!
But she didn't expect that the second elder was not what she wanted. Instead of going to trouble Gu Xiaoxiao, they wanted to go to Zhou Zeyun and ask him to arrange for his family to go to the medicine store.
They didn't dare to confront Gu Xiaoxiao head-on anymore, so they could only adopt roundabout tactics. What's more, they thought that after all, Zhou Zeyun was the one who made the decision in the family, and Zhou Zeyun was also a member of their old Zhou family, so he would naturally help his family.
of!
As soon as Zhou Zeyun opens his mouth, Gu Xiaoxiaoding can't stop him! No matter who in their family enters the medicine store, it will be very easy to take the medicine store as their own from the inside!
During this period, Zhou Zeyun has been staying at home and studying with the children. He has not been seen in the village since he was detoxified. Therefore, many people do not know that Zhou Zeyun's "illness" has been cured, especially the old Zhou family.
I don't know, they are still thinking that Zhou Zeyun is still bedridden, and he is afraid that his death is coming, but their family has not been in vain, so they still have some breath!
As long as there is energy, it will work! The two elders of the Zhou family don't care about his life or death, but they are glad that he is not dead yet, at least not before they enter the medicine store!
The two elders had made a plan in their hearts to go to Zhou Zeyun to talk about the matter when Gu Xiaoxiao was not at home.
Wu Huilan was a little regretful that the second elder did not plan to face Gu Xiaoxiao directly, but she thought that if Zhou Zeyun was asked to enter the medicine store, their family Zhou Weijie was still lying in bed, and the second elder of the Zhou family was not too young, so she would be the most suitable one for the whole family. If she were
If she can enter the medicine store and get the medicine store, she will no longer have to look at anyone's face!
Thinking about it like this, I no longer felt regretful in my heart. Instead, I began to look forward to the life after getting the medicine village. The corner of my mouth curled up secretly.
Gu Xiaoxiao taught herbal medicine knowledge all morning, and her mouth was dry. She looked at the sky and it was time to make lunch. She couldn't delay Zhou Zeyun and the children's meal!
He told them to go home. These women also wanted to go back to cook for their families, so they picked up the benches and went home.
After lunch, Zhou Zeyun and the children continued their class. Everyone in the morning came over one after another, and Gu Xiaoxiao continued to train them.
In this way, the day for the opening of Sweetness Restaurant soon came. Gu Xiaoxiao promised Xiao Mu and the others that they would go there, so those who studied medicinal materials did not need to come today.
After breakfast, Gu Xiaoxiao simply tidied himself up, informed Zhou Zeyun, and then drove the carriage leisurely to the town.
When she arrived at Tiantianzhai, she saw Xiao Mu constantly looking at the door, and his eyes lit up when he saw her figure.
"Ms. Gu, you're finally here! Everything is ready and waiting for you!" Xiao Mu stepped forward and said eagerly.
Gu Xiaoxiao raised his eyebrows, "Why are you so anxious! It's not like you don't know how far away my home is from here. I'm already here early, I came here right after breakfast!"
Xiao Mu didn't dare to have any opinions on the surface, but he kept slandering in his heart.
He knew that the distance between Gu Xiaoxiao's home and here wasn't too far! It only took an hour to walk, not to mention she was driving a carriage!
Even though she had set out after breakfast, she looked like she was not in a hurry, the carriage was moving slower than her legs could move, and why was she in such a hurry? This was really, really annoying!
Xiao Mu curled her lips calmly and invited Gu Xiaoxiao in.
Gu Xiaoxiao took the lead to go to the backyard to check on the four people. They had already prepared the first batch of pastries for sale. When the four saw Gu Xiaoxiao coming over, they said hello with a forced smile.
Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at their faces and knew that they were too nervous. After all, it was the first day!
She smiled and joked, "Why are you nervous? Aren't the ones in front of you who should be nervous the ones who face the customers directly?... Just do your job well, serve every pastry, make sure it tastes good, and so on.
Don’t even think about it! Got it?”
The four of them knew that Mrs. Gu was trying to comfort them. Indeed, they did not need to contact customers, they just needed to do their own thing well!
Immediately, his smile was no longer so stiff, and the nervousness in his heart disappeared a lot. He bared his teeth and replied crisply, "I know, Mrs. Gu!"
Xiao Mu ran over at this time and said to Gu Xiaoxiao: "How are you doing here? We will open if possible!"
Gu Xiaoxiao gave the four of them a final look and asked, "Are you ready?"
"Ready!" the four of them responded in unison.
"Okay! Sweetness Restaurant is open!"
"Okay!" Xiao Mu responded.
Then Gu Xiaoxiao followed Xiao Mu to the door. There was a burst of firecrackers. Xiao Mu and Gu Xiaoxiao stood at both ends of the plaque. At the same time, they pulled off the red cloth in their hands. The red satin covering the plaque was peeled off, "Sweet
The three characters "Weizhai" have come into public view.
Pedestrians on the street were attracted by the movement here, and soon a large number of people gathered.
Xiao Mu faced them and said with a polite smile: "Sweetness Restaurant is officially opened today! Everyone is welcome to visit the store. The taste of pastries is unique. You can buy it and try it!"
Gu Xiaoxiao then said: "Big opening bonus today! Buy one pastry and get one free, affordable, the event is only for three days, no waiting after the expiration date, don't miss it!"
Xiao Mu was a little surprised when he heard this, and slowly approached Gu Xiaoxiao and whispered in her ear: "Ms. Gu, the price of pastries is already quite low, and I want to buy one, get one free, and pay back three days. As a businessman, this
The business is a loss!"
