Chapter 158 Shu Mingzong Discovers Business Opportunities

Shu Mingzheng touched her brother's head lovingly, "Well, sister believes in you. Do you want to pursue a career in literature or martial arts?"

"I want to go into business. Although the status of a businessman is not high, money makes the devil work. Let's spend money in the future and let the devil work for us!" Shu Mingzong's narrow eyes flashed with light, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a bit of arrogance.

Shu Mingzheng smiled and said, "Okay, there are 360 ​​professions and every profession has its top talents. As long as you work hard and can be self-reliant in the future, I will be relieved."

Nanny Wei, who was standing by, also looked pleased and said, "The young master has grown up."

"You're already sixteen, old enough to get married, and it's time for you to grow up," Shu Mingzheng glared at his brother.

Shu Mingzong grinned foolishly.

Shu Mingzheng looked her younger brother up and down with the eyes of an old mother, feeling as if her son had grown up.

Suddenly, she sniffed, took his hand and looked at it. Seeing that there was still a lot of blood stains between the nails, she frowned and said, "Zong'er, you smell of blood. It's getting late. Go back to your room and wash up and rest early."

"Okay," Shu Mingzong raised his arm and put it close to his nose to smell it.

"Wait a minute," Shu Mingzheng suddenly remembered something, stood up and took out something wrapped in oil paper from the box, and handed it to Shu Mingzong: "Zong'er, this is called soap, it was given to me by the benefactor who saved me today. It has the same function as bath beans, try it out."

"Soap? Is it made by Gu Qinghuai's family?" Shu Mingzong asked.

Shu Mingzheng smiled and nodded, "Yes, you can see if it works well. If it does, we will buy some more when we come to thank you in a month."

"Okay, I'll try it!" Shu Mingzong took the soap and left.

He didn't expect that Gu Qinghuai, who sold him the crickets, and her elder brother accidentally saved his sister.

It seems that he has some connection with that family.

A quarter of an hour later, Shu Mingzong, his clothes loose, ran over excitedly and knocked on the door, "Sister! Sister! Open the door! Open the door!"

Shu Mingzheng had just laid down when he put on his clothes and got out of bed, "Zong'er, what's wrong?"

Shu Mingzong spun into the house like a whirlwind, holding the soap in his hand, and asked excitedly: "Sister, is this soap really made by Gu Qinghuai's family?"

"Yeah, that's exactly what Sister Qinghuai said," Shu Mingzheng nodded.

Shu Mingzong's eyes lit up, "Sister, if that's the case, I'm going to go to the Gu family right away. Yes, He Jinyou is from Tuniu Village, I'll go with him!"

Shu Mingzheng still didn't understand what her brother meant. "Why are you in such a hurry to go to Gu's house? Sister Qinghuai said that her family is making adobe bricks to build a house and they are very busy. We can go there in a month."

"No, sis, I can't wait!" Shu Mingzong turned around anxiously, "Business opportunity! I see a huge business opportunity! This soap is so useful, bath beans can't compare to it! Sis, I want to cooperate with Gu Qinghuai! We are going to make a fortune!"

Shu Mingzheng took the soap back. She had never used it before. When she heard her brother say this, she quickly asked Aunt Shu to get a basin of water to try it out.

After trying it, she was also very shocked: "It really is a good thing! This thing will definitely make a lot of money!"

"I told you so!" Shu Mingzong said with pride.

He and his sister both have a natural business sense, thanks to their mother Hua Zhi.

Hua Zhi is the daughter of a businessman. Her grandfather and several uncles are good at business. Although the Hua family is not very famous in Wuzhou City, they are real wealthy businessmen.

It’s just that the Hua family has always been low-key and introverted, not ostentatious.

At the beginning, the old pious woman in the imperial capital agreed to let my father marry my mother because she saw that the Hua family was rich.

But when my mother had just entered the family, the old hag not only seized her dowry, but also said that my mother was the daughter of a merchant and of low status, and was not worthy of them, the son of an official. If she went out to make friends with the ladies of aristocratic families, she would not be able to hold up her face. So she forced my father to marry her niece Gao Yunxiang as his co-wife.

From then on, his mother became depressed and her health deteriorated. When he was five years old, she suddenly contracted a strange disease and passed away.

Shu Mingzong regained his mind, dispelled the depression in his heart, and his eyes were firm: "Sister, with this soap, I will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the business world! Make a name for myself!"

"Well, Zong'er is ambitious," Shu Mingzheng encouraged, "But, Zong'er, Brother Gu and Sister Qinghuai are my saviors, so don't go too far in terms of benefits."

Shu Mingzong laughed and said, "Sister, don't worry, I know what I am doing. I still want to be a long-term partner with the Gu family brothers and sisters. I won't eat meat and suck marrow. We will benefit each other and it will be a win-win situation!"

"Okay, as long as you understand," Shu Mingzheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister, you should rest early. I want to go back to my room and think about it carefully!" Shu Mingzong pointed at his head with his finger and ran out like a whirlwind.

Shu Mingzheng touched her washed white hands and pondered her brother's words.

This business can indeed be done and it can make a lot of money.

If she could cooperate with Qing Huai, then she and Gu Qing Shan would be able to meet more often.

Thinking of this, Shu Mingzheng blushed.

Gu Qinghuai didn't know that she had been noticed by the Shu siblings.

She slept until midnight and suddenly woke up in a daze.

She looked at the alarm clock in the space. It was only 4:30 in the morning. There was a faint glow of fire outside shining through the cracks in the straw hut.

Is there a fire somewhere?

Gu Qinghuai was startled and hurriedly woke up Zhao Ying, "Mother, there is a fire outside, is there a fire? Let's go out and take a look!"

Zhao Ying was also startled and hurriedly got dressed and jumped out of bed.

The mother and daughter walked out of the yard and saw five or six torches lit on the adobe yard, the flames illuminating the entire area.

In the firelight, twenty or thirty people were busy mixing mud and making adobe bricks.

All the crushed adobe bricks were piled up in one place, broken up again, watered and tamped into mud.

Gu Qinghuai and Zhao Ying looked at each other in astonishment and walked towards the adobe yard.

"Aunt Yueying, Second Aunt, Uncle Fangkuai, Aunt Cuihuan, Uncle Fangkuai, Brother Daniu, why are you here so early? There is still more than an hour before work starts," asked Gu Qinghuai.

Guo Yueying smiled and said, "Silly girl, actually, we all agreed yesterday that we have to find some time to remake the adobe bricks that were damaged by the busy workers of the Gu and Li families. Otherwise, the construction period will be delayed."

"Yes, this is all voluntary for everyone," said Second Aunt Su, also smiling.

"Yes, we are all volunteers, Xiao Huai, you don't need to pay us extra wages!" Several workers in the distance laughed heartily.

"We help you make adobe bricks, so we should hand them over to you intact. We can't let your family bear the consequences if anything goes wrong. We only take the benefits."

"That's right. Besides, if we work hard, Xiao Huai will think of us when he needs work in the future. If we cheat, it will be a one-time transaction, haha."

……

Gu Qinghuai felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
