Novel Bin Chapter 666: Opening
On the eighth day of the ninth month, the weather was clear. It was suitable to marry, enter the house, and open for business.
Early in the morning, the Gu family tidied themselves up in high spirits. Other than Gu Dajiang, who was still going to the academy, everyone else went to Gu’s Shop on Dahui Road.
At the same time, many people in the city rubbed their palms together and prepared. The fliers clearly stated that if they spent a tael of silver, they could receive a bag of dried fruits for free.
One tael of silver was not a lot to many people in the prefectural city. Even if they did not have it, some smart people wanted to pool it together with others. If each of them bought a little, they would be able to get a bag of dried fruits.
Among them was Madam Sun, the neighbor of the Su family.
Madam Sun also happened to receive a flier two days ago. After getting someone to help read the words on it, she was immediately interested. She had long heard about this canned food. She heard that it was very delicious. The supply in Jinxiu Restaurant was not enough, and the price was especially expensive. It was not easy to buy.
Madam Sun did not have the connections to buy it with money, but there were canned food sold in other shops. It was just not authentic and was cheap. She had bought it and eaten it. The taste was simply indescribable. It had a strange taste.
When she heard that the Gu family’s shop was selling the canned food from Jinxiu Restaurant, she had an idea. Coincidentally, her son had given her his salary a few days ago. She was not very tight on money.
Therefore, early this morning, she put on her new clothes and went out to look for the other two neighbors.
Unexpectedly, the moment she opened the courtyard door, the Su family next door also opened.
Su Changshun was also wearing brand new clothes and was standing at the door talking to Mother Su.
“Mother, I might be back late tonight. You and Little Sister can eat first. You don’t have to wait for me.”
Mother Su nodded. “I know. Hurry up and go. Don’t delay your work.”
Madam Sun giggled when she heard that. “Yo, you’re going to work in a small shop, and you even specially made new clothes. Look at how capable you are.”
Mother Su and Su Changshun ignored her. Madam Sun snorted and left.
Only then did Su Changshun say, “Mother, when I earn money, we’ll buy a bigger courtyard and not be neighbors with her.”
“Alright, Mother will wait.” Mother Su wiped the corners of her eyes and said with relief.
Not only did she not want to be neighbors with Madam Sun, but she also did not want to be neighbors with those who had mocked her son and avoided her family like snakes and scorpions.
Su Changshun left quickly.
Gu’s was about to open for business today. He was completely relieved.
When he arrived at the shop, Gu Yundong and the others had just arrived. When they saw Su Changshun, they nodded slightly.
“Come in.”
The shelves in the shop were already filled with things. There were canned white sugar fruits, dried fruits, and jam from the fruit shop. There were also all kinds of exquisite sweets. There was a dazzling array of things.
As soon as Su Changshun entered, he rolled up his sleeves and got busy. Unexpectedly, Gu Yundong waved her hand. “There’s no hurry. Come with me.”
On the first day, besides Zheng Gang, Su Changshun, and Ah Shu, people including Ah Zhu, Chen Jinbao, Tong Ping, Xue Rong, Lu Sheng, and even Madam Niu, Lu Hongxiu, and Tong Shuitao had to help receive the guests.
Feng Daneng and the others had wanted to help, but they were not hired workers. Moreover, she had enough manpower, so Gu Yundong did not agree. She only said that they should rest in the backyard. If anyone asked about the renovation of the shop, she would bring them over.
They followed Gu Yundong into the backyard and saw her get someone to bring out a large box from a room.
