Chapter 287 It’s hard to be a good person
Some borrowed houses from friends, while others went directly to nearby counties to buy shops and open stores.
Anyway, everyone has to open a shop before the New Year.
Based on the food photos taken by each person, Gu Dajiang gave a corresponding business plan, which included detailed introductions on store location, decoration renderings, training, operation management, etc.
Everyone flipped through their plans, each one looking like they had found a treasure. They simply flipped through them and immediately put them into their sleeves, fearing that others would see them.
"After you go back, you can take a look at this plan first. Prepare it according to what is said here. When you are ready, we will send someone to teach you, and you can also send someone to study together." Gu Dajiang said to everyone.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Gu." Everyone thanked him. They were all anxious to prepare and said goodbye.
Gu Dajiang understood their feelings and did not keep them any longer.
After everyone left, only Zhishu and Zhixing were left in the room.
Fortunately, the food boxes on the table were taken back to Gu’s house by the housekeepers after people finished eating.
After telling Zhixing to close the door, the uncle and nephew returned to Gu's house and began to carry out their next plan.
After they returned, they washed up and had lunch.
Gu Dajiang asked Miao and Zhiying to prepare some snacks for them to take away, and then the three of them plus three smart housekeepers came to the slums with food boxes.
Most of the people living in the slums are the elderly, the weak, women and children, and some of the slums are mostly orphans.
Gu Dajiang has been here for some time and has some understanding of the situation here.
People in the slums saw a rich man suddenly come here with his wife and sons.
Everyone looked at them with vigilance and caution, and the children ran away.
After a while, there was only an old man squatting on the roadside smoking a pipe.
Gu Dajiang took out a portion of non-spicy oden with soup from the food box in Zhixing's hand.
It contains skewered fish balls and tofu, kelp, green vegetables, gluten, etc., soaked in a fragrant soup, emitting bursts of aroma.
Gu Dajiang came forward with a wooden cup in his hand, leaned forward and said, "You are right, old man. I am the owner of Daohuaxiang. This is our homemade food. I would like to bring you a bowl to try. I would also like to ask you something. Is that convenient?"
The old man raised his eyelids and glanced at Gu Dajiang. "What do you want to ask? I'm afraid I don't have what you want to know here."
The old man puffed on his pipe, suppressing his craving for food, and did not take the Cantonese-cooked rice that Gu Dajiang handed to him.
Gu Dajiang was not angry, and still said with a smile: "To be honest, we have opened a shopping mall over there, and we want to find some people with good character and clean hands and feet to work.
We can teach them how to make snacks for free and let them sell them in the food court, so I want to ask you if there is any family here that is diligent, clean, and has good character, so that we can go and ask them if they are interested in learning. "
When the old man heard this, he thought of the rumors he had heard recently, "Are you the boss who wants to trick people into working for you? Go away, I don't know the kind of person you are talking about. I don't have any recommendations."
After the old man said this, he waved his hand angrily to drive Gu Dajiang away.
Gu Dajiang had his legs bent and was almost knocked off balance by the old man's swing.
Fortunately, he had practiced martial arts for a long time and his position was stable enough, so he was able to keep the soup of the oden in his hand from spilling.
Miao hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and after seeing that Dajiang was fine, she said, "Father, you misunderstood. What you said are all rumors. King Li knew about our plan to teach people how to eat snacks and supported them.
How could I lie to you?
If we want people to work, we can just hire a waiter or buy a servant.
Some are people who want to work in our store.
We have such a big store here, why should we get into all these troublesome things that could lead to lawsuits at any time?
You are so old now, so of course you have some experience. Do you think our family is like that deceitful evil person?
You must not believe in rumors and affect the livelihood of your neighbors."
"Father-in-law, don't worry, we are definitely not a scammer here." Gu Dajiang also said.
The old man still looked at them suspiciously.
Gu Dajiang handed the oden in his hand forward and said, "Try it first. It won't taste good if it gets cold. If you don't want to talk about it, we won't ask. Just consider it as an apology for disturbing you."
Gu Dajiang said as he stuffed the oden into the old man's hands and was about to leave with Miao and Gu Ji.
Suddenly the old man said, "Wait! Is what you said true?"
"Old man, of course it's true." Gu Ji said.
"Wait a minute." The old man said, and then he started eating oden in front of the few people.
The old man couldn't stand the taste any longer, so he started eating without hesitation.
After taking a bite, I felt the rich taste. After drinking a mouthful of soup, my whole body warmed up.
The old man ate all the food in one go, not even leaving a drop of soup. He pulled up his sleeves to wipe his mouth, then raised his head and asked, "Do you want me to teach you how to make this dish, too?"
"That's right, father-in-law." Gu Dajiang said.
"Why do you want to hand over this business of making money to outsiders?" the old man asked doubtfully.
"To fulfill my father's wish." Gu Dajiang had no choice but to say this.
The Gu family has been with Gu Fu for a long time, and having learned modern knowledge, they have been influenced to some extent by modern ideas.
For these snack secret recipes and even the knowledge learned, especially when you know that in another world, knowledge is almost all public.
They did not even think about hiding it, but instead thought about promoting it so that people of their generation could also benefit from it.
But nowadays, if you talk to people about selfless dedication, they will just think you are a fool, so you can only blame it on gods, Buddhas, and faith.
When the old man heard this, he stopped asking questions.
He took a few puffs of his pipe and then said, "Just go three blocks ahead and on the right there's a house. The woman there is very particular, she's usually very neat and tidy, and she cooks delicious food. You can ask her if you want to learn how to cook. And..."
The old man mentioned three or four families in a row and said, "There are no other ones. The people living here are quite mixed, and these few have lived here for a long time. I know their character, so I dare not recommend the others to you."
Gu Dajiang bowed and said, "Thank you, old man. Here are some other foods in the store. You can try them." As he spoke, Gu Dajiang took out a portion of cake and a pot of soy milk, and also picked up a piece of silver and handed it to the old man.
The old man did not refuse. He took it without even looking at it. He just squeezed it casually, waved his hand, turned around and left. He must have taken it back for his family to taste.
Gu Dajiang shouted from behind: "Father-in-law, if anyone in your family is interested, they can also come to Daohuaxiang to find me to sign up."
The old man didn't respond, he just walked faster.
