Chapter 339 Paving the way

The county magistrate was shocked at that time and asked Jiang County Lieutenant: "Is this true? Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Instead, you said it was your son-in-law's idea?"

Jiang County Lieutenant sighed: "This matter is a credit to the adults, but for a boy from a peasant family, his coming up with such an idea would be a disaster for his life. It was he who begged his humble son-in-law not to tell this matter. Lord County Magistrate, lest others know that the idea came from him, those removed chiefs will cause trouble for his family."

Magistrate Xu asked: "You mean, the younger generation wants to hide it himself?"

Jiang County Lieutenant's Head: "Exactly, the low-ranking son-in-law originally wanted to hide it from him for the rest of his life, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate to hide it from the county magistrate, so he told the matter to your Majesty, hoping that you would forgive me."

Jiang County Lieutenant will tell County Magistrate Xu the truth. In fact, he wants to help Gu Jinan and pave the way for him in advance.

The county magistrate now has a good relationship with the prefect. If he can tell the prefect about this and let the prefect know about Gu Jinan's existence, Gu Jinan will not be tampered with when he takes the exam for merit in the future.

After all, if you want to obtain fame, the county examination is only the first step. Next, there are the government examinations and the college examinations, all of which have to be taken in the prefectural city. The literati are fiercely fighting, and some students will be killed every time they take the scientific examination.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Xu admired Gu Jinan a little: "At such a young age, he has such intelligence. He is a talented person."

Because of the appreciation of the county magistrate, or maybe because I feel guilty for taking credit from others, I decided to send a plaque to the shop today.

Gu Jinan took a few steps forward and bowed deeply to Master Tian: "Junior Gu Jinan, I would like to pay my respects to Master Tian."

Master Tian looked at Gu Jinan and saw that he had an outstanding appearance and a tall figure. Although he was from a peasant family, he had the spirit of a nobleman. He nodded with satisfaction: "I heard that you are studying with a scholar? How are you doing?"

Gu Jinan replied: "Now I am studying the Four Classics, and I will start studying the Five Classics in the second half of the year."

Four books? Master Tian smiled and said, Then let me test you and see how well you learn?

Gu Jinan said respectfully: "Please give me a question."

After a while, Hu Dongjia looked at the third grandfather and asked: "Mr. Gu, how much can your shop give us Fu Tai Lou for the braised meat and roast duck?"

Third Grandpa said: "Tell Dashan about this. Braised meat and roast duck are the business of his family and Daya's family."

Hu Dongjia then looked at Gu Dashan. As soon as he saw Gu Dashan, he made up his mind. He seemed to be an honest person at first sight. It would be appropriate to do business with such a person.

Gu Dashan has made much progress than before. He is not in a hurry to do business with Hu Dongs family. Instead, he first tells Hu Dongs family about the rules for receiving goods. If Hu Dongs family accepts their rules, it will not be too late to discuss it later.

The Hu Dong family has a good relationship with Jiang Qi. Jiang Qi had told him this rule before coming. When I first heard about it, I felt a little disgusted. I felt that the Gu family was too shrewd, but then I thought about it. They at Futai House also inspect the goods every time they make a purchase. Everyone is the same, so they are not so resistant.

Hu Dongjia said: "This is fine."

Seeing that he agreed, Gu Dashan asked: "Brother Hu, how many goods do you want to take in a day? What kind of braised food do you want? Tell me first. If it is possible, we will sign a contract and finalize the sale."

Hu Dongjia said: "One hundred roast ducks, eighty kilograms of various kinds of braised meat, eighty kilograms of each kind of vegetarian braised food, and three hundred braised eggs."

"So much." Gu Dashan was shocked and reminded Hu Dongjia: "Brother Hu, the weather is hot now. Although the braised food is not easy to go rancid, we can't sell it out on one day. If you eat it the next day, the taste will never be as good as the first day." Okay, you buy this older one, it might get broken if the restaurant cant eat it.

What Gu Dashan said was not very pleasant, but Hu Dongjia was not unhappy after hearing it, but was very happy. If he were the shopkeeper of another shop, he would not say this at all.

Jiang Qi said from the side: "Brother Gu, you don't have to worry about this. Brother Hu's family has more than one restaurant, and there are two restaurants in two towns near the county seat. How much braised meat and roast duck does your family give him? His restaurant All can be eaten.

After hearing this, Gu Dashan felt relieved and said, "If it's done, we'll supply Brother Hu."

Hu Dongjia added: "There are also white tofu, dried fragrant beans, and fried tofu. They also give us fifty kilograms every day."

The rich old ladies in the county are older and prefer to eat soft and glutinous vegetarian food. White tofu and dried tofu are the best.

Gu Jinan knew that Gu Jinli was going to sell bean curd, so he turned to the backyard and brought two bowls of bean curd on a tray: "Dong Hu, this is the new bean curd made in our workshop. Please try it."
