Qin Di smiled slightly and then asked, "Amei, you seem to have some status at home?"

Gu Rumei smiled sweetly and said, "I am a junior, so how can I have any status? But as a girl, I am the best among the younger generation. In the whole family, only my brother plays better than me, so my grandfather likes me very much."

"Oh, you have another brother, what's his name?"

"My brother's name is Gu Rugen, who teaches music at Hunan First Normal University."

Qin Di did not hide his purpose and said directly: "Amei, it's true that I came to Sichuan to find a peaceful place, build a huge granary, and build a batch of factories. I have already decided on the address of the factory, mainly built in Dukou City (Panzhihua), because there are rich mineral resources there. The location of the granary cannot be too far from Chongqing. I think the peninsula where your home is located is very good."

Gu Rumei was a little surprised: "Sir, why do you want to build a granary? Even if you want to build it, it should be built in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Sichuan is called the country of Tianfu. As long as there are no natural disasters, there is generally no shortage of food."

"Sir, how big a granary do you want to build?"

"At least 5 million tons, calculated based on one kilogram of ration per person per day, it is enough for a million people to eat for three years."

When Gu Rumei heard this, she felt that she was staring at her eyes. She didn't know what these numbers mean, nor did she know how many acres of land the granary would occupy.

She wanted to speak but stopped, and hesitated for a moment, and still plucked up the courage to ask: "Sir, I heard that food is not cheap. Do you have so much money to buy 5 million tons of food?"

Qin Di smiled and said, "Amei, you don't know that a Great Depression is happening in the United States, and the food prices are falling again and again, and they are unimaginably cheap. I imported a large amount of food not to make money, but to save people. I saved both the Chinese people and the American farmers. This is doing good deeds."

Gu Rumei was in awe and said, "Sir, I will take you to see my grandfather tomorrow, and I will help you speak."

Then, the three of them went back to their rooms and said nothing all night.

The next morning, Gu Ruhu came and together with Gu Rumei, he led Qin Di to meet his grandfather Gu Cheng.

Because he wanted to discuss the matter of becoming a disciple, neither Yan Xue nor Qin Yue went there.

Gu Cheng lives in the deepest part of the village, near the roots of Aiping Mountain. The houses are tall, with green bricks and green tiles. Although there are no carved beams and painted buildings, they are full of flowers, plants, trees, white stone paths, and bluestone railings. It is obvious that it is the courtyard of the wealthy family.

The yard was very quiet. In the hall, there was an old man with white hair, Gu Cheng, accompanied by middle-aged black-haired Gu Chen, and a young man in his twenties stood beside him.

Gu Rumei smiled and said, "Grandpa! Fourth Uncle! Haha, I didn't expect that the third brother is back too! Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Qin, knowledgeable and talented, proficient in music and chess, and his art is amazing, and he has reached the pinnacle! Ahu and I want to worship him as our teacher!"

The old man Gu Cheng smiled and looked at Qin Di up and said, "Welcome to Gu's family as a guest."

Gu Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, I was in a hurry yesterday and didn't have time to speak. I heard at night that you are the chess saint who compiled "Go Youminglu". I was so excited that I had not been asleep all night, so I hoped that it would be dawn soon to see you!"

The young man standing next to him had a stern face and looked dissatisfied, saying, "I have lived in Lingnan for a long time and worked in Taigu Cang, Guangzhou. I have met Mr. Qin."

Qin Di bowed to the old man Gu Cheng and said, "Mr. Qin Di, I have paid homage to Mr. Gu and met Mr. Gu Si." As for the young man, he just nodded slightly at the other party.

Gu Chengdao: "Please take a seat by distinguished guests."

Everyone sat down, and then a maid brought incense tea.

Gu Cheng smiled and said, "I want to ask Mr. Qin, is Lingtang really a famous medical scientist Zhu Wan, who is famous both at home and abroad?"

Qin Di nodded: "My mother devoted herself to medicine all her life, and she luckily made a breakthrough in the past few years and invented sulfonamide drugs and penicillin. Recently, she has developed a new drug called streptomycin. If it goes well, it may be able to cure tuberculosis in a few years."

Gu Cheng was shocked when he heard this, opened his eyes wide, stared at Qin Di and said, "Is that true? If so, that's a great fortune! Lingtang will be regarded as Guanyin Bodhisattva! In recent years, there have been too many people suffering from lung diseases! There are two or three out of ten, and its mortality rate is extremely high, and about 50% of them will die. However, I am worried that the new medicine is too expensive and most people cannot afford it. Do you think so?"

Qin Di smiled bitterly: "Whether it is penicillin or streptomycin, it must be cultivated with food and extracted from tiny bacteria. After many processes, it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, so the price cannot be reduced for a while. However, the penicillin we sell in China is much cheaper than abroad, and it can be considered a benefit to the Chinese people."

Gu Chen smiled and said, "Yes! It used to cost hundreds of dollars for a penicillin, but now it only costs three dollars, which is already very good! Last winter, Zhujing suffered from pneumonia, and luckily it was Penicillin that had to be cured!"

The young man Gu Rusong suddenly said, "Mr. Qin, Lingtang has developed a new medicine and must have made a fortune! Why are you just wearing a long gown and not even a watch?"

Gu Chen frowned, feeling that Gu Rusong shouldn't have asked so directly, obviously it was not a way to treat guests.

The old man Gu Cheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said lightly: "Asong, a gentleman is like righteousness, and a villain is like profit. I see that you are infected with bad habits in the ancient foreign business and even forget the way of a gentleman!"

Qin Di did not go to see Gu Rusong, but looked at the old man Gu Cheng and said, "I heard that the Gu family is a famous scholarly family in Sichuan. The old man is also a master of playing the piano. I wonder if he has reached the level of Taoism?"

Gu Cheng smiled and said, "I am old and my hands are not flexible and I can't play it. I heard that Mr. Qin is very good at piano skills, but I wonder if I can play a song so that I can appreciate and learn from it?"

Qin Di had known that this level would be there, otherwise the Gu family would not believe it, and would not have allowed Gu Rumei and Gu Ruhu to become disciples, and would not be able to discuss the construction of a granary.

Gu Cheng coughed dryly, raised his voice, and said, "Give me my beloved Guqin!"

There were two maids who carefully carried the guqin and placed it gently on the table.

Qin Di turned his head to look at Gu Rumei and said proudly: "My piano skills have exceeded the level of 'entering the Tao'. A few days ago, what you heard in Wuchang was only 10% of my skills. Today, you cover your ears and listen with your heart!"

Gu Rumei nodded: "Yes!" Then she raised her hands and prepared to cover her ears.

Qin Di said again: "Ahu, go out! And this little brother, you go out too!"

Gu Ruhu was unwilling to accept this, but he still raised his legs and walked out.

But Gu Rusong stood still and didn't move, humming: "Why should I go out? This is my home. If you want to leave, you can stay."

Qin Di ignored him and looked at Gu Chen and said, "I don't know if you are proficient in piano skills. If your level is not as good as Amei, it's better to go out too."

Gu Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll stand outside the house and listen. Asong, come with me, don't stick here!"

Gu Rusong was very stubborn: "I won't leave, I will stay here, Uncle Fourth, I want to stay here!"

Gu Chen shook his head and walked out.

Qin Di looked at Gu Cheng and said, "Old man, be careful! Keep your spirits inward, hold on to Yuan Shuyi!"

The old man Gu Cheng felt a stern and quickly corrected his posture, put his hands on the back of the chair to prevent it from sliding down.
