Chapter 85 The Shy Guiqiu (1)
Master Zhou was interested in Gui Qiu, and Gui Chongyang had already told Gui Wu. Now that he heard Gui Chongyang's words, Gui Wu also felt that he should mention it, and he couldn't let the woman speak first.
Although it is not as good as Master Zhou's original, and Gui Qiu is the son-in-law who has been to the house for several years, they are all in the town and there is nothing that cannot be discussed.
Gui Chongyang is worried about the reproduction of the population, and Gui Wu also thinks about this problem. When he has a great-grandson and great-granddaughter at home, his second grandmother Gui will not just stare at him.
At this moment, Wang Xiaosan'er had already come back with a big bag.
Xiji is originally a small town, and all kinds of food are not as expensive as the city, and they are all good things that are affordable and full.
When Gui Chongyang saw one by one, he saw meat buns, vegetarian buns, steamed buns, sesame cakes, chestnut cakes, date cakes, sugar cakes, rice cakes, wontons, cold noodles, fried tofu, fried dough sticks, scallion cakes, etc.
Each one is a piece or a portion, and a full table is filled with less than a string of money.
Wang Xiaosaner handed the remaining money to Gui Chongyang. Gui Chongyang took it away, and then counted ten dollars to hand it to him and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
The sun was in full swing outside, and Wang Xiaosaner was sweating on her forehead and was breathless when she walked, which was really plagued. Despite this, Wang Xiaosaner did not collect the money immediately. She looked at Gui Wu, and then called "third brother" to collect it when she saw Gui Wu nodding.
Three and three, this ranking cannot be avoided.
Gui Chongyang said "haha" twice and asked: "Which one was bought from shops, those ones were bought from stalls, and which ones were bought from the dock?"
Wang Xiaosaner is illiterate and has a good memory. She says clearly: "Buns were bought at the bun shop, steamed buns were bought at the steamed bun shop, sesame cakes, fried dough sticks, wontons, cold noodles, fried tofu, chestnut cakes, date cakes, sugar cakes, rice cakes, and scallion cakes were bought at the docks and cross-basketballs."
Gui Chongyang nodded, but said nothing, and asked the two to try it together.
Meat buns, vegetarian buns are fine, steamed buns, sesame cakes, etc., fried dough sticks, fried tofu, and wontons are a bit cold, and the taste is just average. Among the few cakes and scallion oil cakes, only chestnut cakes are better, while the others are just ordinary.
Seeing Gui Chongyang's face seemingly dissatisfied, Gui Wu said: "These snacks are too thick. If you want to be more delicate, you have to find a special shop."
Gui Chongyang said: "It is not necessary to be more detailed. These tastes enough. It just looks bad, and the unified model will be much better."
After hearing this, Wang Xiaosaner hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother San wants to open a food shop, should he hire a dim sum master?"
Gui Chongyang said: "Do you have any familiarity?"
Wang Xiaosaner pointed to the remaining chestnut cake on the table and said, "The people who sell this cake are from our neighbors. They are crafts passed down from ancestors. Originally, they opened a snack shop at home, but later they offended the Hong family's housekeeper, so the shop was swallowed by the Hong family. Now they only make some cakes at home and sell some at the dock."
Gui Chongyang thought that chestnut cake was good, and it tasted the best among several pastries. However, Xinshuzi was most afraid of trouble. Even if he didn't like the Hong family, it was also a "big thing" for Gui Chongyang now.
Gui Chongyang looked at Gui Wu and said, "Uncle Wu, is it a hindrance?"
Gui Wu shook his head and said, "It's not a problem. The Hong family acts domineeringly and will not last long."
Gui Chongyang glanced at Wang Xiaosaner. Are these words appropriate to say in front of an outsider? Or is it that Wang Xiaosaner is not an outsider in the eyes of Uncle Wu?
Wang Xiaosan'er held the vegetarian bun and lowered her head to eat, nodding while eating, as if she was savoring the taste.
Gui Chongyang couldn't help but pick on the corner of his mouth, he was really smart.
Gui Wu ordered Wang Xiaosaner to continue cleaning the shop, so he went to the Zhou family shop with Gui Chongyang.
Today is the festival day, but it is not a big festival every ten, but just a small festival, so it ended in half a day.
At the door of Zhou’s shop, Gui Qiu and Zhou Dingxiang were at the noodle stall.
Seeing the uncle and nephew coming, Gui Qiu hurriedly greeted him and said, "Just just now, Dingxiang said that she looked like Uncle Wu. I thought she had read it wrong. It's true that Uncle Wu and Chongyang are coming."
Zhou Dingxiang also stepped forward and greeted the two of them openly: "Uncle Gui Wu, Chongyang."
Gui Wu nodded and Gui Chongyang said, "Sister Zhou closed the stall? I'll help you?"
Seeing that Gui Wu seemed to have something to say to Gui Qiu, Zhou Dingxiang nodded with a smile and said, "Then I'll be upset to Double Ninth Festival. I'll make vegetarian noodles for you to eat."
The two went to clean up the stall. Gui Wu called Gui Qiu aside and said, "Look at you getting along well with Miss Zhou. If you originally intended, would I propose marriage to the Zhou family?"
Compared with Mei Duo, Zhou Dingxiang is black and fat, which can be said to be ugly, so Gui Wu was not sure about Gui Qiu's idea, so he asked this question first.
If Gui Qiu is willing, everything will be easy to say; if Gui Qiu is unwilling, the Zhou family’s favor will be just favors, and I will find a way to repay it.
Gui Wu was a person who made his own decisions since he was in his teens, so he did not act as an elder in front of his nephews and took his own actions. Instead, he valued everyone's own opinions more.
Gui Wu is Gui Qiu's uncle, so he is naturally qualified to propose marriage to the Zhou family on behalf of the Gui family. However, Gui Wu said this now, and this kind of thing will never go beyond the Yang family. He has to talk to the family before he will formally mention it to the Zhou family.
Gui Qiu immediately jumped up like a rabbit with his tail stepped on it, and said at a loss: "What? What is the proposal for marriage?" But his face was flushed and he was afraid that others would cover his mouth as if he heard it.
Gui Wu saw it, and there was nothing he didn't understand? He looked at Gui Qiu angrily and said, "It's not my eldest daughter, why are you blushing when you propose marriage? Your elder brother is engaged, so it's your turn!"
Gui Qiu put down his hand and still smiled foolishly: "Didn't I not expect this? I thought I would mention this only after my elder brother got married."
Gui Wu snorted lightly and said, "Since you are not in a hurry, let me put it aside and wait until your sister-in-law enters the door. Since you have never thought about it, you have never looked at the girl from Zhou's family. Then look at others again..."
Before he finished speaking, Gui Qiu was already anxious and hurriedly said, "No, no, don't want others!" He blushed to the base of his neck.
"Prosperity!" Gui Wu sneered: "Then why did you pretend to be confused before? Even Chongyang saw that Master Zhou wanted to recruit you as his son-in-law, but I don't believe it, you didn't see it!"
Gui Qiu said "haha" twice, unable to speak, but she was filled with hidden worries in her joy.
When Gui Wu saw this, he sighed in his heart and said seriously: "But before, your son-in-law is just a son-in-law, so he won't be a son-in-law. I'll have one of the son-in-laws in Gui's family. If the Zhou family nodded and married normally, everything would be easy to say; if the Zhou family doesn't respond, then you will be destined to be together!"
Gui Qiu's face turned pale, she was silent for a while, and nodded and said, "Well, I know."
Not far away, Zhou Dingxiang was cleaning up the tables and chairs while paying attention to Gui Qiu's movements.
Seeing that Gui Qiu looked wrong, Zhou Dingxiang showed some uneasiness on her dark face. She came to Gui Chongyang and whispered: "Dongyang, but is there anything at home?"
Gui Chongyang said curiously: "It's okay." He said this, and said: "By the way, there is a happy event!"
Zhou Dingxiang immediately asked, "What happy event?"
Gui Chongyang didn't deliberately tease her and said directly: "Brother Chun is engaged, and it is a matter of getting married in an old house."
Zhou Dingxiang then smiled and said, "Good things are in pairs. Next time I go and congratulate Sister Mei."
Gui Chongyang said: "When we move to our new home, Sister Zhou will go."
Zhou Dingxiang said happily: "Okay, I'll go and give you a warm mat when the time comes!"
Master Zhou went to the front and called Gui Qiu. When he saw Gui Wu, he hurriedly called him in and talked.
