Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

Chapter 298: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 26

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. Old Gu said that after a hundred years, if Xixi needs help, you can't just ignore her."

"Of course. She's my niece. How could I just ignore her?"

It's done. This is done very neatly. OK, I'm leaving now."

The village chief waved his hand and was about to leave when he was stopped by Gu Yong.

"Wait a minute, Village Chief. I have something to tell you."

"Hey, you have something to ask me too? Tell me, what is it?"

"Village Chief, let's go inside and talk."

Gu Yong welcomed the village chief in, and at this time, Li Xiuqin brought over a few buns.

"Village chief, come and try the buns I made."

"Hey, wife Gu Yong, you still have this skill?"

"Yes, I just learned it recently. Would you like to try it?"

"No need to taste it. Just tell me if you have anything to say." He has been the village chief for more than a year or two and knows what to eat and what not to eat.

It looks like he is asking for help from others. No matter how good-looking or fragrant this thing is, you have to resist it!

Besides, he knew how difficult life was for Gu Yong's family. How could he eat buns made of other people's flour? They smelled like they were filled with meat?

This thing costs a few cents outside!

"Village chief, this thing is not worth much, you can try it. We have no other intentions, we just want to tell you that Xiuqin and I will go to the county to work in a few days."

"Go to the county to work?!" The village chief stared at Gu Yong with wide eyes, as if he had said something huge.

"Yes, Xiuqin and I will go. The shop owner is kind and gave us a small house to live in as a gatekeeper. Oh, and he also agreed that we can bring our child over to live with us."

"This... I have never heard of such a thing?"

"Yes, we didn't believe it at first, but he said it was to make our work easier, otherwise we wouldn't be able to concentrate on our work."

"Yeah, that makes sense. No matter what, this is a good thing. There are so many people who want to go but can't."

"Yes, Xiuqin and I think so too. We don't want to miss this opportunity."

"Well, go ahead. Don't worry, I will take good care of your house and won't let anyone occupy it."

"With the village chief here, we can rest assured. Xiuqin and I had no choice but to tell you. Otherwise, we really wouldn't know who to tell."

"I understand. Just go ahead and do it."

"Hey, thank you, village chief. Then..." Gu Yong pushed the buns towards the village chief, "Village chief, please give us some face and eat two, otherwise we will not feel at ease."

The village chief smiled and waved his hand, "You kid...Okay, I'll try it."

As he spoke, he picked up a bun and took a bite, praising it as he ate, "Oh, this tastes pretty good, the meat filling is quite fragrant."

"That's right, my wife's cooking skills are very good." Seeing this, Gu Yong also laughed.

The two chatted for a while, and then the village chief stood up and said goodbye.

After seeing the village chief off, Gu Yong finally felt relieved.

He really didn't expect that the other party would be willing to take a step back. This is a good thing. He and Xiuqin can concentrate on their own things without always thinking about that side.

The village chief's side has also been dealt with, so now all we have to do is prepare to go to the county.

The next morning, Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin set off on the road pushing the cart.

At this time, Gu Qian was still sleeping soundly on the cart, and the bumpy dirt road couldn't wake her up.

When she was near Wu County, she woke up in a daze.

"Mom and Dad, where is this?"

"We've already arrived in Wu County. When Qianqian wakes up, she can come down and walk on her own, okay?"

At this time, Gu Qian realized that there were so many things on the cart. She was sleeping on it, so it must be so heavy!

Thinking of this, Gu Qian quickly got up and walked downstairs.

"Xiuqin, the shop I told you about is just behind this street. There is also an entrance to Wu County over there, so there are many people coming and going every day."

"Well, if that place is the same as this one, then the bun business will definitely be good."

"Yes, that shop is about the same size as the others I've seen, but it's just a little more expensive because it's on the main street and closer to the entrance."

"It doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive. The bun business needs a lot of people. People will buy it only if it has a lively atmosphere."

Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin chatted and planned along the way, and soon the three of them arrived.

This area was not as lively as the place they had just entered the city, but it was not bad either. Most importantly, there were no steamed bun shops here, only teahouses, small restaurants and inns.

As for why there is no steamed bun shop, it is actually because the shop they are about to see was originally a shop selling steamed buns.

It’s just that the couple is old and can’t work anymore, so they want to sell the shop and go home to enjoy their retirement.

"Knock knock" Gu Yong walked forward and knocked on the door.

"Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, are you here? I'm Xiao Gu!"

"Hey, here it comes, here it comes..."

The sound came from far away and soon the door opened.

An elderly man in his 50s came out and said, "Hey, Xiao Gu, why didn't you come yesterday? I thought you didn't want my shop anymore!"

"I was delayed yesterday by something. Sorry, Uncle Liu."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Do you want it now?"

Seeing Uncle Liu so anxious, Gu Yong laughed secretly in his heart.

"Uncle Liu, you see I came here with my wife, children, and a lot of luggage. If I like her, I will definitely buy her immediately."

Uncle Liu looked at him for a few seconds, then said with a smile: "You are so lucky, kid!"

"That's not the case!"

"Okay, I'll take you to have a closer look. I tell you, if your Aunt Liu and I were no longer able to work, I would not be willing to sell this shop."

Uncle Liu led a few people into the store and introduced them as they walked: "Look at these tables and chairs. Although they are a bit old, the quality is excellent. They can be used for a few more years. And this steamer is also a good thing! I won't take it away. You can use it directly after you take over."

Li Xiuqin looked at the furnishings in the store carefully, her eyes gleaming with excitement, and she was obviously very satisfied with everything here.

At this time, Uncle Liu led them into the backyard again.

"Come, take a look. This is the backyard. If you don't have any extra money, you can live here like us. This way you can save money on accommodation."

The backyard is not too big, with only two rooms and a simple toilet.

One of the larger rooms is where Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu live, and the other is used as a kitchen.

At this time, Gu Yong lost no time in asking, "Uncle Liu, can you give me a price for this shop?"

Uncle Liu thought for a moment and said, "I won't give this shop to anyone else, but I see that you are an honest person, so I won't play tricks on you. This shop and the tools inside, you..."

Uncle Liu paused, then continued, "Just eighty taels, there's no lowering it!"
