Chapter 416: Why Did You Do This
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong was still in the workshop when the loquats arrived. Those things were not easy to keep fresh, so they had to be made into dried loquat sauce and canned loquats.
The assignments of the workers had already been explained the day before. Now, everyone was in their positions. They washed the fruits, tore off the skins, removed the cores, dried them, and steamed them. Everyone was busy.
The clay pots that Gu Yundong had asked Shao Qingyuan to order two days ago had arrived early this morning. There were already hundreds of clay pots. When the time came, these clay pots would be packed with gauze, grass cakes, bamboo leaves, mud, and other meticulous seals. They would be canned food in ancient times.
She even got the family who made the clay pots to carve Gu’s at the bottom of the clay pot. She had specially asked Yunshu to ask Qin Wenzheng for the word ‘Gu’s’. The handwriting was strong and unique, so it was really difficult to fake.
When she sold the cans later, she could still recycle the containers. She could get the customers to wash them clean and return them. Then, she could refund them for five copper coins or something. She had to use them sparingly.
As she thought about it, she brought Tong An to look at them one by one. If she encountered any problems, she would stop and say a few words.
The workshop was in full swing. Gu Yundong spent almost the entire day there.
She wasn’t the only one. Shao Qingyuan, Ah Shu, Ah Zhu, the Tong family, and Shen Sitian were all helping.
It was almost evening before the group returned.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the house, Aunt Ke said, “Let’s go to the central room first. Shuitao has something to tell you.”
Gu Yundong was slightly taken aback. Seeing the serious look on Aunt Ke’s face, she felt that it was not a small matter. “Why didn’t she look for me at the workshop?”
“I stopped her. It’s your first day of work, so there are a lot of things to do. It’s not a serious matter. If she meets you, it’ll cause trouble for you. She can talk to you when you come back.”
Why did you look like that if it wasn’t something serious?
Gu Yundong was very puzzled. As soon as they entered the house, Tong Shuitao immediately stood up. “Miss.”
Gu Yundong took the water from Shao Qingyuan and gulped down two mouthfuls before sitting down. “Tell me, what is it?”
Tong Shuitao told her everything in detail.
Shen Sitian was the most surprised. She found it unbelievable. “Did Uncle Jiang really pay them?”
Tong Shuitao nodded, then felt a little vexed. “I was too shocked at that time, so I let those hooligans go. Aunt said that we should bring them back. That way, we will have witnesses.”
She was too impulsive. Ah Mao and Ah Gou were also idiots. They had not thought of this.
“But why would he do that?”
Shen Sitian thought of Jiang Yongkang, who had been laughing and helping them enthusiastically yesterday. She felt that it was difficult to combine him with the person who had paid the hooligans to rob her.
Gu Yundong frowned. “Could it be that he saw that the Gu family is rich and deliberately acted this way so that we would be grateful to him? Does he have a favor to ask of us?” It was not that she was narcissistic, but there were indeed many people eyeing the Gu family now.
Gu Yundong had met many people who wanted to build a relationship with the Gu family, including the wealthy families in the county.
Tong Shuitao also felt that it was possible. “Does he want to work in our workshop? But he’s afraid that our family won’t hire him, so he might as well use this method? Perhaps this way, he can become a small manager and earn more money, right?”
Aunt Ke couldn’t help but roll her eyes. These two people were really…
“Can you guys think simpler? Can’t it be because he took a fancy to someone?”
