After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 68 Soap
Gu Qing took Mo Li to the yard under the big tree.

The sun is almost here, and the breeze is very comfortable.

She hesitated how to speak. After all, she was not her own child, and she didn't have a sufficient position to ask about it.

Just as he was hesitating, Aunt Zhao from next door came over to return the bowl: "Miss Gu, your lo mei is so delicious, such a big bowl, my man and a few children ate it up in a short while, my man usually doesn't like to eat it." Pig intestines, he likes to eat the ones made by your family, and he can't wait to make some wine to drink..."

Mrs. Gu also happened to come to return the bowl, and said: "This taste is really good. I used to buy pork offal, boiled or fried casually. The children haven't eaten meat for a long time, so I can fry it casually." I could eat it cleanly, and I thought my frying tasted good, but after eating this, I realized that I have spent so many years in vain.”

Gu Qing took the two bowls and said with a smile: "Brother Yang ate the lo-mei and immediately thought of a way to make a living. He said he wanted to buy the lo-mei from me and sell it in the town. won't like it."

Aunt Zhao said: "I don't know what was added to this lo mei. It's a bit spicy. My family likes the light taste. After eating a few slices, I wanted to eat it but didn't dare to eat it again. I thought, is it possible to make something that is not spicy?" Yes, guests can choose two flavors by themselves... I have never done business, so I just said it casually, Miss Gu, don't laugh at me."

"Aunt Zhao, your suggestion is great!" Gu Qing asked earnestly, "If you make something with a sweet taste, will anyone like it?"

"I like sweetness." Mrs. Gu frowned, "But you have to add sugar to the sweet one, it's too wasteful, so let's make it spicy, or don't put anything, because most people like it..."

Gu Qing laughed and started chatting with the two of them, and then they gradually talked about gossip in the village.

Mo Li stood aside and listened, he became bored, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Gu Qing glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and then ended the conversation: "I still have things to do at home, so I won't see you off."

Aunt Zhao and Mrs. Gu turned around and left.

Gu Qing stopped Mo Li: "A Li, I called you out just to ask you, what is Yihonglou?"

Mo Li began to show off his knowledge: "Doesn't the owner often go to drink flower wine? Why don't you know about Yihonglou? Yihonglou is the largest brothel in Youshui Town. Without two dollars, you can't enter the gate of Yihonglou. All the women are willing to spend money, and they can spend seven or eight taels of silver in one night, and the price of braised pork at [-] Wen per catty in Yihonglou should be able to double the price..."

Gu Qing's forehead was throbbing with blue veins: "Have you ever gone in?"

"That's not true." Mo Li coughed, "But my master used to be a frequent visitor there..."

Gu Qing: "..."

What kind of master is this? Look at how he has taught this teenage scholar to become!
If she sees his master in the future, she must have a good talk with his master!

"A Li, places like Yihonglou are not for you to go to." Gu Qing's tone was as gentle as possible, "It's not just you, anyone in our family is not allowed to go!"

Mo Li nodded, and said, "Don't worry Patriarch, we didn't go when our family was poor, how can we go now!"

That's right, Gu Qing suddenly remembered that Yihong Courtyard in Daliang is a place where men serve women, not a place where women serve men.

"Patriarch!" Yang Pei brought Gu Yu and Gu Nuo and the others over, "A Li, it's time for us to go to the ancestral hall!"

Mo Li responded, and they walked towards the ancestral hall.Gu Nuo jumped up and ran forward: "Brother Yang, the pocket money my elder sister gave me is useless, so I will lend it to you as a business book. Remember to return the money with interest when you make money."

Gu Yu also took out his money bag: "I don't have any money to spend, Brother Yang, I'll leave it to you."

Yang Pei accepted it without any refusal. He firmly believed that he could make money, and he also firmly believed that he could make money for both younger siblings.

When a few people arrived at the ancestral hall, the children from the village had come early, put on the cleanest and decent clothes, washed their faces, cleaned up their nose and eye feces, and sat obediently at the table.

The oldest should be Gu Tao, she is 15 years old, and the youngest is a five-year-old child who is also the granddaughter of that family.

Although the ages of the children are different, there is not much difference in their educational level. Only Gu Jinyu, Gu Yu, and Gu Nuo know a little more characters, while Gu Yu is a little better at arithmetic.

Mo Li secretly planned to divide the children into two classes according to their learning level in a few days, one progressing faster and the other slower, and adding another advanced class to teach Gu Yu and Gu Nuo.

Outside the ancestral hall, Li Zheng patrolled around with his hands behind his back, nodding his head constantly. They also have a school in Gujia Village. Although I don't know how long they will teach here, but one day is a day...

After the inspection, Li Zheng walked towards Gu Qing's house.

Gu Qing sat alone under the tree in the yard to rest, she was really tired.

She glanced at the unfinished sand tables in the yard, and thought, it's time to prepare some more pens, inks, papers and inkstones for Mo Li and the others.

It is true that children can use the sand table to learn to read and write at the beginning, but after they are proficient, they can practice writing on paper, the use of the brush, the control of the nib... all aspects need to be mastered as soon as possible.

Going to Yunshan Street to buy these will cost at least a few dozen taels of silver, but these are very cheap in the mall, and you can have as many as you want.

Go to town sometime and get these things out in the open.

Just as she was thinking, Li Zheng walked in from the gate of the yard.

When outsiders came in, Gu Qing could no longer sit carelessly. She stood up and smiled and said, "Why is Aunt Li Zheng here?"

Li Zheng said: "Now that the autumn harvest is over, everyone is free. Madam Gu, what is the next arrangement?"

He told the villagers that Gu Qing would lead them to make a fortune, but in fact he still had no idea.

Gu Qing is a little ashamed, isn't this too urgent?

"Auntie Lizheng, our climate is good. Apart from the fields, there are mountains. We grow food in the fields, but there are so many mountains, shouldn't we make good use of them?"

Li Zheng frowned and said, "What can this mountain do? It's full of shrubs and trees!"

Gu Qing smiled and didn't speak, but went into the room and took out a piece of soap bought in the mall. The honey-colored and slightly transparent soap contained fresh flower petals.

Gu Qing handed the soap to Li Zheng, and Li Zheng immediately smelled a faint scent of honey mixed with fresh flowers, "This is it?"
