Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Gu Xiaoyu looked at Gu Huanxi, her mother must be reliable.

Gu Huanxi smiled and said, "Your father is teasing you, so just listen to what he said..."

Xu Huaiyi protested, "What I said makes sense."

Both mother and son pretended not to hear what he said, and one of them asked, "Mom, do you think it makes sense for dad to do this? Are you really not asking for trouble?"

One answer is, "It's meaningful. Frustration can temper people's will better than praise, prompting people to grow quickly and achieve a career."

Gu Xiaoyu was thoughtful.

Gu Huanxi asked, "Have you read "Mencius' Letter to Confucius"?"

Gu Xiaoyu shook his head.

Gu Huanxi then read out the passage that has been passed down for thousands of years and is still required to be memorized and tested in textbooks, "Shun was born among the parents, Fu Shuo was raised among the building blocks, and Jiao Ge was raised among the fish and salt. , Guan Yiwu was promoted to the scholars, Sun Shuao was promoted to the sea, and Baili Xi was promoted to the city. Therefore, when Heaven is about to assign a great responsibility to a person, he must first strain his mind, overwork his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and disturb his behavior. What I did, so I tempted my forbearance, was beneficial to what I couldn't do."

After she finished reading, seeing him looking at her in confusion, she explained again, "...make every action he takes unsatisfactory, so as to stimulate his will, make his temperament persevering, and increase the abilities he does not have."

Gu Xiaoyu understood, and was shocked inside.

Xu Huaiyi said at this time, "Now you know how great dad is, right? You also feel how good dad is to you, right? Such good things have not left you behind."

Gu Xiaoyu, "..."

The excitement in my heart dissipated instantly.

But the frustration education continues.

Gu Huanxi held her daughter in her arms and refused to go in. Only the two of them were looked down upon. In Xu Huaiyi's words, "A man protects a woman from the wind and rain. He must protect his wife and daughters, rather than letting them charge into battle." , then what’s the use of having a man?”

Gu Xiaoyu listened with a dull face, he was still a child.

When they entered the fourth store, they were finally not asked out. The shopkeeper finally didn't mind their shabby clothes and gave them a chance to show off.

With this display, the shopkeeper couldn't take his eyes away.

The jewelry worn by women nowadays is mostly made of gold, silver and jade, and there are also wooden hairpins and silk flowers, but those silk flowers are far less delicate and lifelike than these velvet flowers.

If this were inserted into the hair, it would be very eye-catching.

The shopkeeper in charge of the jewelry shop certainly had good eyesight and taste in this area. After seeing their value, he couldn't help but feel glad that he had not turned Xu Huaiyi away just now.

Otherwise, you will miss out on this business.

Gu Huanxi waited outside for about a quarter of an hour. Xu Huaiyi came out holding Gu Xiaoyu's hand, teaching him as he walked, "As long as you persist in anything, you will definitely gain something. The most afraid thing is to give up halfway or fail. Dig holes everywhere with a hoe. If water doesn’t come out after digging here for a few times, dig somewhere else. If you don’t have the patience to carry on, don’t even try to dig out water. Remember? The key is persistence..."

Gu Xiaoyu listened with a smile in his eyes.

"Daughter-in-law, it's done." The moment he saw Gu Huanxi, Xu Huaiyi, who had wanted to hold on for a while, suddenly broke through and showed a big smile.

Gu Huanxi's eyes lit up. He suppressed his excitement and asked in a low voice, "All sold? How was the price negotiation? Have you said anything about subsequent cooperation?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded with a lively eyebrow, and after he was far away from the store, he explained to her one by one, "The shopkeeper's surname is Zhang. He is not a bad person. At least his eyes don't reach the top of his head. He speaks kindly, but When it comes to business, he is very shrewd and tactful and refuses to give in. Thanks to the fact that our velvet flowers are really good and unique, I am at an advantage and not at a disadvantage. Otherwise, I would have to be suppressed and beaten..."

"You can manage such a big shop, but you can still be stupid? You must be smart. Tell me, how much money did you get from selling it?" Gu Huanxi urged, wanting to know whether the job of making velvet flowers was worth it.

Xu Huaiyi stretched out five fingers towards her.

"Fifty taels?"

"Is it surprising?"

It's not just an accident, this is a surprise. In the countryside these days, ten taels of silver can feed a large family for a year, so this money is really a lot of money.

Of course, for those who support scholars at home, this amount of money is not enough to read. They can burn them all by buying pens, inks, paper and inkstones a few times.

"Tell me more specifically."

Xu Huaiyi told the price of each item. The cheapest one was the velvet flower she taught the villagers to make, which only cost about one hundred yuan. The reason why she brought one here today was to help inquire about the price. , others are much more exquisite, some are even pierced with pearls, and the price is a bit more expensive, with a total of twenty taels.

But correspondingly, this cost is also high, especially in ancient times, pearls were not cheap. In later generations, due to large-scale artificial cultivation, pearls devalued.

Therefore, they also earn high profits from this hammer.

"What happens next?"

"Shopkeeper Zhang was very happy and said that as long as we can make it as exquisite as today, we can send it to him and the price will be absolutely fair."

Gu Huanxi breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's buy some silk thread later, we can do this job."

"Well, I'll help the villagers with some."

"Okay, don't buy too many designs. I'm afraid they won't be willing to spend too much money at first. Silk threads are not cheap."

"Listen to you, you won't become fat in just one breath, just take your time."

The couple discussed while walking. This time when looking for a shop, they didn't want to select only those tall and high-profile ones. Even if they didn't chase them away, they didn't want to send them to their door to be slaughtered, so they looked for a shop in a remote location that was not eye-catching. Went in and were greeted warmly.

The enthusiastic Gu Huanxi almost couldn't resist.

Well, compared to the cold shoulder he received before, this is simply the other extreme, even fatal. Xu Huaiyi has to deal with it like a duck to water.

Sure enough, the two of them went back and forth, as close as long-lost brothers, but when they turned around, one showed no mercy when asking for a price, and the other refused to give in when making a counteroffer.

Gu Huanxi was so impressed that they were all talented people.

Finally, when an agreement was reached, one person shouted, "Hey, it's a big loss. I really won't make any money from you this time. Just treat it as a customer. From now on, my little brother will have to come often to take care of our business." ..." One of them was in pain, as if his blood bag had been drained out, but when they dispersed, everyone had a satisfied smile on their face, and everyone was happy.

Gu Xiaoyu was so numb looking at it.

It turns out that this kind of business can still be done, but he has limited knowledge.

After buying the silk thread, they went to the grain store to ask about the price. Compared with previous years, the price was a little higher, but still within the affordable range. Especially the beans, which were only four cents a pound, only one cent more expensive than before.

So, the two of them bought 500 kilograms at a time. They bought too much, and the shop was responsible for delivering it to their door. But when they heard that it would be delivered to Hutian Village, their expressions instantly became wonderful.
