My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm Chapter 151 A Good Idea

151 Chapter 151 A Good Idea

“I guess you can call it that way, but it’s not that complicated to hand out flyers. These beggars can get a meal with their work too.”

“You’re right.” Father Gu coughed twice and added, “I came here today to ask for your help.”

“Do say, and we will definitely help if we can.” Gu Chengrui nodded.

Because he wasn’t surprised, Father Gu knew that Zhou Ying had most likely told Gu Chengrui about him looking for them. He openly declared his request, “Do you know that your Aunt Liu and Second Aunt are running a pastry shop?”

“I’ve seen them selling royal desserts and pastries.”

“Yes, but it’s too expensive and hard to sell in this small town, so I…” Father Gu was a little embarra.s.sed when he said this.

But in the end, he continued, “So, I am here to ask Zhou Ying if she has any ordinary dessert recipes. Otherwise, I’m scared that the small shop won’t be able to survive.”

“I can only discuss this with Zhou Ying, as I don’t know the details.”

“Please hurry up. I’ll head back for now.” Father Gu stood up and said.

“Alright, I’ll give you a reply tonight.”

“Sure, you continue your work.” Father Gu turned around and walked out after he finished speaking.

After sending him off, Gu Chengrui returned to the kitchen and told Zhou Ying about the matter.

Zhou Ying laughed. “He still has the nerve to ask for this? So shameless.”

“He’s thick-skinned, but what do we do now? Are we giving it to him or not?”

“It’s simple to make mung bean cakes and the like, so I don’t believe they don’t know those. They’re most likely interested in the desserts Chun Niang makes.”

“But that’s our signature dessert, and we can’t give it to them. Alright, let’s give them the mung bean cake, red bean cake, yellow pea cake, and chestnut cake recipes.”

“Alright, I’ll reply to them this evening.” Gu Chengrui went to his clinic after saying his goodbyes.

After he left, Zhou Ying felt that the desserts they were offering were too little, so she taught Chun Niang the recipe for a series of rice cakes and steamed cakes, asking her to try making them when she was free.

At the same time, she was also indirectly letting the Gu family know she wasn’t someone they could bully.

After she was done, she began to stir-fry two pots of hotpot ingredients.

After she saw that the base ingredients were enough in the afternoon, she mixed the dipping sauce for the hot pot and went to the manor after telling Gu Chengrui in his clinic.

Because the restaurant needed tofu and vermicelli, it wasn’t a good idea to always make them in her inters.p.a.ce. She planned to build a workshop in the manor so that the people in the manor could have some income and she could relax a little.

When she arrived at the manor, she immediately found Chang Shun and told him about the matter. She asked, “Uncle Chang, what do you think?”

“It’s a good idea. There’s no work in the village now, and the strong laborers are going to the labor market daily for work.”

“But now that it’s getting cold, there’s not much work on the dock. If we can build a workshop, it’ll solve a big problem. The best thing about this is that we can work all year round.”

“Alright, this matter is settled then.

“However, beans are scarce in our area because of the bean sprout hype this year. We’ll use what we have in our own restaurant this year.

“We’ll expand the production when the river opens tomorrow and import beans from other places.”

“What about the beans for this year? Do we buy them from the grain shop?”

“We do have to buy some, but I’ve saved some before. When the workshop is done, we’ll use those beans first.”

“Alright, where should we set up the workshop?”

“Let’s set it up in the second courtyard first. We’ll build a workshop next year when we’re renovating the house, so you have to maintain the house well for now.”

“Sure, don’t worry.”

“That’s all. I’ll leave the recruitment to you, so remember to find someone who has difficulties at home but is clean and tidy.”
