Chapter 137 Thoughts
Tang Jiagen threw away the chopsticks in his hand, and cursed: "You bastard, the family spends so much money, and you won't read it if you say you don't want to read it. Have you thought about why we suffer so much?"

Fang Qiuhua's face was also full of worry: "You are still young, and you don't study to mix in society, what if you are cheated?"

Fang Gucheng didn't show weakness at all this time: "You sent me to my grandfather's house to learn crafts, didn't you just pave the way for me to stop studying?"

"Anyway, I'm not good at studying, and I can save half a year's money if I don't study for half a year!"

"Grandpa said, as long as I study hard, I will be able to become a teacher in two years. When the time comes to set up a shop, how difficult is it to make money?"

"You..." Tang Jiagen was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

Tang Gumeng said at the right time: "Study is your business, we just push you into the classroom, you can't learn anything, and we can't help it."

"I want to open a shop in the future. It's a good idea. As you said, it will take two years to become a teacher. If you don't study now, what's the use?"

Fang Gucheng replied: "It will take me another two years to become a teacher because I don't have time to study now. If I can study and practice every day, I will be fine in half a year."

"And then", Tang Gumeng said, "After half a year, where do you go to get the money plate shop? Give it to you at home?"

Fang Gucheng went back to Sanliwan as soon as he was on vacation, and he also listened to a lot of what the villagers were talking about.Knowing that the family has planted a greenhouse now, people often come to fetch goods, and they have some savings in their hands.

Fang Gucheng thought so, and said directly: "Didn't the family make money this year? Give me the money, and I will return it to you when I make money."

"Hmph, I'm not very capable, but I have a lot of eyes," Tang Gumeng sarcastically said.

"Since you know that your family has money, you should know where the money comes from. I paid for the greenhouses at home, and the money I got back now is not enough to buy the materials for the greenhouses at that time."

"The money the family earns this year has to be used to buy greenhouse materials. You take it, and then ask someone to borrow money for the greenhouse?"

Fang Gucheng's momentum weakened a bit: "Aren't you rich? You can lend me some, I will write you an IOU, press your fingerprint, and then return the principal with interest to you."

Tang Gumeng looked Fang Gucheng up and down, and remembered that when he saw him before, he told himself not to waste the family's money, but to stand up by himself. After a long time without seeing him, he changed his temper.

Sighing, Tang Gu Mengyu said earnestly: "Fang Gucheng, I will say this once today, if you can listen to it, then I won't care about you."

"You want to open a store, have you ever understood what you need to do to open a store? What kind of store to open? Where is the store selected?"

Fang Gucheng became a little impatient: "I just want to open a restaurant in the town, it's so troublesome."

"Of course", Tang Gumeng said: "The purpose of opening a store is to make money. Where there are more people, there will be more money. If you say you want to open in a town, then let me ask, are you opening next to the town station or a supply and marketing cooperative?" , next to the State Guest Hotel, or next to the government, the town is so big, the address is different, the flow of people is different, and the crowd of people eating is also different, have you considered this issue?"

"And you said you want to open a restaurant, whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dim sum. Are you Shanxi cuisine, Shandong cuisine, or Northwest cuisine? Have you considered these?"

"You said that you will be able to become a teacher in half a year, so what special dishes do you have in your hands now, which can sell well when you serve them, and make people want to eat this dish? If not, how can you guarantee that you will be able to open a restaurant? earn money?"

Several consecutive questions made Fang Gucheng completely speechless.

Tang Gumeng sighed: "You go to grandpa's house to learn crafts, and we often don't see each other, so we haven't had a good chat. Since we're talking about this today, let me tell you about my attitude."

"It was my idea to let you go to grandpa's house to learn crafts. I know you don't like reading, and you are not the material for reading, so I want to find a way out for you. Changing your surname is the only condition for grandpa to teach crafts. At first, parents still Disagreeing, I also agreed to let you have a way out in the future."

"You can't just define this as the fact that your family doesn't want to see you and wants to drive you out."

Fang Gucheng said weakly: "I don't."

"You don't want yourself to have it, but you are not convinced." Tang Gumeng pointed out Fang Gucheng's thoughts in one sentence: "Our family has not had much contact with my grandpa's house for so many years. When you go, you are a guest. You have to bow your head when you are under the eaves." , in order to make you feel more comfortable at grandpa's house, I give them ten yuan every month, as family members, we never treat you as outsiders."

Fang Gucheng replied in a low voice: "Then every time I come back, you all eat big bowls and small bowls so well, usually when guests come, you will treat me like this, you just treat me as a guest."

Fang Qiuhua looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table, and began to wonder if he had done something wrong.

Tang Gumeng said: "When you left, only Dad was the only one earning money in the family. The financial aspect was really tight. In the past six months, I have been doing business outside, and I earned a greenhouse in winter. It can be said that our family is now the richest family in the village. It's normal for the family to have more money and food to keep up, you can ask Gu Lin, Gu Ting, how much less meat has been eaten at home in the past few months."

Gu Lin was already sensible, and he chimed in and said, "Third Brother, you see, I've gotten fat from eating meat. Tomorrow, let our mother make meat buns for you. The meat inside is big and fragrant, and the aroma makes the calf and the others feel like they're all fat." Xiang cried."

Tang Gumeng went on to say: "My son travels thousands of miles and my mother is worried. Putting so many dishes is not treating you as an outsider, but a mother's concern for the child. She is worried that you will not eat well outside, so she cooks so much. I hope I can use these few dishes. Make up what you owe in a few days. If one day, when you go home, your family ignores you, then they really don’t want you. "

Seeing this, Fang Qiuhong picked up the conversation: "Gucheng, you are the eldest son of my mother. My mother just saw that you seemed to have lost a lot of weight, so she wanted to make up for you. Or what do you want to eat in the future? Tell me, Mom will do it for you again."

Fang Gucheng lowered his head, and replied nonuo: "I'm sorry, I was thinking about it."

Seeing that he listened, Tang Gumeng continued: "Then let's talk about reading. There are few people studying around now, and you think it's no big deal if you don't study, but you can't feel outside because you live in a well. There is nothing unstoppable in the world."

"Outside, especially in big cities, how many people try their best every year to study and burn the lamps and nights. All schools are expanding their enrollment. This means that ten or twenty years from now, there will be no more illiterate people in this society. It's a high diploma. When the time comes, you, a person who graduated from elementary school, can you still get it?"

"Anyway, it's only half a year. After half a year, that junior high school diploma. If you don't study now, you will be wasting the previous two and a half years. It's up to you to decide how to choose."

Tang Jiagen saw that what Tang Gumeng said was reasonable, so he followed suit: "Gucheng, look at your eldest sister. After going out to the city for half a year, she speaks and does things differently. I am uneducated, so I can't say much, but I think you The idea is immature."

"If you really want to open a restaurant in the future, then think clearly about the questions your sister asked, and you can also think about it in the distance. For example, you can open the restaurant in the city, the capital of the empire. Don't keep thinking about it here. Goof around in the small town."

Tang Gumeng said: "Business is your own business. You won't distribute the money to others after you earn money, so don't pin your hopes on others at the beginning."

"As a big sister, if you ask me, I may not refuse, but doing business is risky. In case I lose all my money in business after two months, and I can't even get the money for food, how can I pay you if you ask me to borrow money?" you?"

"If you really want to do it, you can do it yourself step by step. If you don't have a money store, you can push a small car to sell it yourself. It's one thing to earn money. You can also sell yourself with liquidity. When the store opens, you don't need to promote it. With a source of customers, there is no problem if we want to expand this point.”

Fang Gucheng sat there steadfastly, speechless.

The reason that should be said has been said, the rest depends on his own comprehension, other people are not talking, the whole room is quiet only the sound of eating.

"Are you eating?" Before the person arrived, the voice came first, and after the words were finished, Tang Gushan entered the door.

Tang Jiagen hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks: "Dashan is here, have you eaten yet, sit down and eat something together?"

Tang Gushan refused: "No need, I just came here after eating. I was afraid that you would all go to the field to build a greenhouse in the afternoon, so I came here sometime."

During the winter solstice, a new leadership team was elected in the village. With Tang Hongwei’s incident in the foreground, the villagers became rebellious. This time there were many more candidates participating in the election. With unanimous votes, the entire leadership team was changed. , replaced by a group of young people.

The previous campaign was somewhat useful. Tang Dashan won the most votes among all the candidates and took the position of secretary.

Tang Gushan didn't make a fuss, and said why he came today: "I heard that Gu Cheng has been learning crafts from his grandfather for the past six months, so I don't know what's going on?"

Because of the blow just now, Fang Gucheng was sleepy and didn't reply.

Tang Gumeng replied on his behalf: "Simple home-cooked dishes are still fine. If it's a state banquet, it probably takes more than ten years of experience."

Tang Gushan smiled: "We ordinary people just eat home-cooked food."

"The Chinese New Year is coming now. During the Chinese New Year in the past, the village always ate big pots of rice. When the whole village gathered together, it was lively and full of New Year's flavor."

"After the land was distributed this year, there were fewer opportunities to eat big pot meals, and the people in the village were not as close as before. It happened that the village made a little money because it contracted the cooking for the archaeological team, and there were also development funds allocated by the government. I I just thought that during the Chinese New Year, let the villagers get together to have a big pot meal, and the family members sit together to get close and have a good time."

Fang Qiuhua replied: "Yes, you don't know. We used to count on eating big pot rice for Chinese New Year. Usually the family is reluctant to eat meat, and big pot rice can fill our stomachs. There are still a few families in the village who are not happy. If there is no big pot rice, This year's Chinese New Year is to eat bran swallowed vegetables."

Tang Jiagen's family used to be the tail of the crane in the village. Knowing the hardships of the poor during the New Year, they immediately said: "I also made some money at home this year, so I will take out and add some vegetables to the village. See if it will work."

"Okay, Auntie is still kind, I can thank Auntie on behalf of the whole village." Tang Gushan replied with a smile: "But Auntie is not enough to make one dish, you have to work hard."

Fang Qiuhua did not refuse: "There is nothing to do in winter, as long as you can use it, you can just say hello."

Tang Gushan set his sights on Fang Gucheng: "Of course I'm not welcome when I need my aunt. Our family has to go to battle neatly. But this year I have to use Gucheng as an envoy."

Fang Gucheng looked at Tang Gushan in surprise: "I, I can't."

"The big pot dishes in the village used to be made by Uncle Qi. This year, I offended him because of cooking for the archaeological team. I came to invite him two days ago, and he had to ask for three yuan to help. . Gucheng also studied for half a year, so I was wondering if I could save these three dollars."

Fang Gucheng replied: "I've never cooked big pot dishes before, I'm afraid I won't be able to grasp it."

"Gu Cheng, please do Eldest Brother a favor, otherwise Eldest Brother will only be able to light up the whiteboard."

Fang Gucheng looked at Tang Gumeng for help, and Tang Gumeng replied: "Is the meal this year still at noon on the first day of the new year?"

"Yes"

"There are still three days left, you give me the key of the village committee, and I will take Gucheng to practice in these two days."

Tang Gumeng agreed, and Tang Gushan happily left.

Fang Qiuhua asked when the people left the door: "Just agree to come down like this, okay? Can Gucheng do it?"

Tang Gumeng didn't answer, and threw the question to Fang Gucheng: "Gucheng, can you do this?"

"No..." Fang Gucheng swallowed the words when the words came to his lips. He was talking big just now, and he will be a teacher in half a year. Now he dare not even make a big pot of rice. Would it be too embarrassing.But wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if he insisted on taking this matter and screwed up in the end.

There were two villains fighting in Tang Gushan's heart, and Tang Gumeng was not in a hurry to urge him: "The first point of cooking is to make it cooked, and you can't let people eat it raw. The second is to season it properly. This only needs to be done according to the proportion. Just increase the weight, and the last one is to control the fire well, and it should be no problem to arrange a veteran in life when the time comes."

"It doesn't matter if you can't do it. The big deal is to spend three yuan and let Uncle Qi continue to do it. It's just that the eldest brother may be criticized in the village in the future."

Tang Gumeng's words of encouragement and praise made Fang Gucheng make up his mind: "I can do it."

"Really?"

"real"

With Tang Gumeng's confirmation, Fang Gucheng's return was even more certain.
