?Chapter 27: Twenty-seven new business opportunities!_1 Chapter 27: Twenty-seven new business opportunities!_1 He worked so hard to earn money, actually to give this family a better life.
To keep Ji Pianran.
To make up for his past mistakes, to protect this family, to give Tangtang a complete family.
And for himself, he really had no need for money.
Poor or rich, he could live any kind of life anyway.
Upon hearing this, a barely noticeable touch of emotion and surprise appeared again in Ji Pianran’s beautiful but indifferent almond eyes.
Three years!
This was the first time in three years that Gu Chen had so openly called her his wife.
He said he had a wife too, he wanted his wife to manage the money.
Had he forgotten what their relationship was?
Or did he truly see her as his wife now?
Thinking about it, Ji Pianran’s heartbeat quickened a little.
A face that was indifferent yet delicate couldn’t help but turn a little red.
The dim incandescent light cast a soft shadow on her long eyelashes, making her look incredibly beautiful.
Her voice was soft and somewhat stuttering.
“Still, better you keep it yourself, after all, selling vegetables also has its costs…”
“No worries, if I’m short of money, I’ll just ask you for it,” Gu Chen said, then seemed to remember something.
“Right, since we’re going to town together tomorrow, it’s a good time to buy you a new quilt and, oh, a set of new clothes too, one for you and one for Tangtang.”
What is the standard for New Year?
Isn’t it new clothes?
Without new clothes, what kind of New Year is that!
Although he wasn’t even considered a ten-thousand-yuan household now, buying clothes for his wife and child was nothing to fuss about.
Ji Pianran hadn’t expected Gu Chen to actually want to buy her new clothes.
A part of her heart involuntarily softened.
She pursed her lips and smiled.
“You just got the money and you’re already spending recklessly. There’s a long life ahead of us, we need to save… I don’t need new clothes.”
For Ji Pianran, as long as Gu Chen was good to Tangtang,
as long as she could see hope, that was enough.
She, had never feared hardship.
“Just listen to me on this one!”
Having said that, Gu Chen first served Ji Pianran a bowl of soup and then picked out a chicken leg for her.
Only then did he serve another bowl for Tangtang.
The little girl had already been drooling with anticipation; these few days since daddy had been back, her meals had been too good not to enjoy.
Every day, there was meat to eat, and it was very, very tasty meat.
She could also accompany daddy to sell vegetables, getting to eat meat-stuffed buns and candied haws, which were the happiest days in the world.
Ji Pianran, worried about the child burning herself, cautiously blew on the soup before feeding Tangtang.
With the spoon in hand, she blew on it and reminded gently, “Be careful, it’s hot. Drink slowly.”
The little girl opened her mouth and with a slurp, a spoonful of chicken soup went into her stomach.
The taste was simply delicious.
Seeing Tangtang enjoying her soup so much made Ji Pianran happy too.
She scooped another spoonful and again carefully blew on it at the edge of her mouth.
“Goji berries are very nourishing; our Tangtang should drink more so she can grow up white and plump.”
Gu Chen hadn’t expected Ji Pianran to recognize the goji berries at a glance and was a bit surprised.
Truth be told, Ji Pianran was an outsider.
She had suddenly appeared in the village one day.
Having settled down here, he had never seen her parents, nor did she have any relatives.
She told outsiders that her hometown was too poor, that she had struggled even to eat since she was young.
A refugee.
But how could someone who supposedly struggled to afford food recognize goji berries?
It wasn’t that they were expensive; rather, if someone had trouble even getting food, who would have spare money to buy such things for their home?
Without access, it’s even less likely to recognize them.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen started to wonder about Ji Pianran’s background.
Who was she, really?
Where had she come from?
Did she really come here as a refugee, just like she said?
Gu Chen broke the cooled pie in half, giving one piece to Tangtang and the other to Ji Pianran.
Trying to sound casual, “This thing was given by Old Tang from the neighboring stall. He just said it’s good for making soup, so I took it. I have no idea what it’s actually for.”
Goji berries are warm in nature, nourishing for the liver and kidneys, and strengthen the essence and yang energy.
But how could she tell that to Gu Chen?
Thinking about it, Ji Pianran’s face flushed red, getting redder and redder.
Although she had already become a mother, she was still a woman!
Talking about these things openly with a man, she really couldn’t bring herself to say it.
Gu Chen, “???”
Why had her face turned so red?
Looking at the baffled Gu Chen in front of her.
Ji Pianran swallowed nervously, her tone slightly flustered.
“Nothing, nothing, it’s just that it clears the liver and improves vision, moisturizes the lungs, boosts the immune system, and can also be used for beauty and complexion. As for the rest, I, I’m not too sure…”
Goodness!
Gu Chen was astounded.
He had always known goji berries were a treasure.
They also had some medicinal value.
But he had no idea they were so effective!
Especially since these berries came from the north.
Their village was more to the south, so these berries were definitely more expensive!
The key point was, he owned Spirit Field. If he were to sell them, wouldn’t that be convenient?
And perhaps he could make a good sum of money.
However, after all, they were given to him by Old Tang.
Old Tang had been good to him, and if he were to sell them, that would be like stealing Old Tang’s business.
No way!
Thinking of this, Gu Chen sighed.
He couldn’t help but smile.
He was really going crazy thinking about money.
If he really started selling goji berries, his friendship with Old Tang would essentially come to an end.
Although they hadn’t known each other for long, they were still friends.
Such money could not be earned.
It’s better to just grow more bok choy; after all, that also makes money.
As for anything else, we’ll see after the year is over!
Seeing Gu Chen sigh and smile.
Ji Pianran felt a bit puzzled as she paused in feeding chicken soup to Tangtang.
Looking at Gu Chen, she asked in confusion, “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing, just suddenly thought about whether I should also start selling some goji berries,” Gu Chen explained offhandedly.
“Oh.” Ji Pianran nodded thoughtfully, then considered it seriously.
“If you want to sell, it’s actually not impossible. Places like clinics and hospital entrances, I guess you could get a good price.”
At these words, Gu Chen’s deep pupils instantly brightened.
Yes, why didn’t he think of that!
At the hospital entrance, there are either patients or visitors.
As long as he sells, there will certainly be buyers. Sёar?h the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
And everyone knows, the things sold at the hospital entrance… when it comes to pricing…
Clicking his tongue.
A baked sweet potato, with a cost of just a few cents, sells for three yuan at the hospital entrance!
Candied hawthorns, five yuan!
For something like goji berries, it would have to be at least fifteen yuan!
The most critical point was, Old Tang only sells in two places, Beiqiao Market and Southgate Market.
And his target was the hospital!
This way, there would be no impact on Old Tang’s business at all.
The more Gu Chen thought about it, the more excited he became, giving Ji Pianran a thumbs up.
“Great idea!”
While excited, he became even more curious about Ji Pianran’s identity.
Did she really come here as a refugee?
Just what kind of woman is she?
