My Entire Family's Gone Haywire Novel! - Chapter 1039

1039 Chapter 1039-making a snack Street

The two little girls were brought into the house and stood there to do odd jobs for Gu shouxin. Gu Si was grinding the ink while Gu Xin was registering at the other side.

Very quickly, the bailiffs brought the citizens in one by one to report the situation.

With the entire city in action, almost every household took the materials for the lantern from the Yamen, which were brought back by Gu shouxin’s men from the prefecture.

The Yamen took up 60% of the lanterns bought, and the commoners took up 40%.

!!
Gu Xin looked at the people who came in and felt that there were some changes compared to when she was shopping before the new year.

The look in their eyes changed. There was light and hope.

Although the amount of silver that each household handed over was not much, they were really happy.

From Gu Xin’s point of view, one tael of silver wasn’t even enough to buy their family’s suit, but one tael of silver was enough to cover the expenses of a family in kun city for a few months.

She felt a little uncomfortable. She thought of the past. Her father was addicted to drinking and gambling, her mother was depressed all day, her sister didn’t like to talk to people, and she was scared every day.

What changed the family?

It seemed that the whole family was working together. Even without grandfather and uncle’s urging, father knew how to do things, and mother had also begun to think of ways to earn money.

Therefore, Gu Xin believed that unity was the most important thing for a family. Next, they shouldn’t be afraid of suffering and should work hard. Only then would their lives be better.

Kun city was different from the other cities. There was nothing that the people could rely on to survive. Even if the people were united and not afraid of hardship, what would they use to make a living?

Farming? Doing business?

Gu Xin recorded the income that the people of kun city handed in and an idea slowly formed in her mind.

Other than the people from the neighboring five countries, very few people came to kun city. Even the merchants from other states would not stay here permanently.

In that case, they might as well do business with the five countries.

The Five Nations usually didn’t even hold lantern festivals, so the food they ate probably wouldn’t be better than the great Zhou!

Gu Xin wrote as she thought about it, extremely focused.

By sunset, they were almost done with the registration.

Gu Xin turned her wrists and neck, then stood up and stretched.

Gu shouxin checked the accounts and put away the broken silver and copper coins.

Gu Xin couldn’t help but ask,’father, the people uncle the Emperor sent haven’t arrived yet? You have a few things to do on your own!”

Gu shouxin knew that his daughter was worried about him, so he said happily, ” “The Emperor had sent a Memorial before, saying that after the selection, he would set off. I think the emperor’s meaning is to choose from the new scholars that entered last year and choose those who don’t bring their families. Then the journey will be faster and we should be able to arrive before the new year.”

Gu Xin,’that’s good, that’s good! Father, don’t tire yourself out. When little brother is born, you still have to play with him and carry him for a walk! If you’re tired, we won’t help you carry it. ”

Gu shouxin smiled helplessly,”you’re really a little worrywart. You have to worry about everyone at home.” Now that your brother Yuan Yuan is back, you can go worry about him!”

“Brother Yuan Yuan doesn’t need me to worry about her!” Gu Xin said proudly. In the Peng family’s military camp, Grandpa Peng and the three uncles of the Peng family were enough to worry about him. By the way, father, sisi, I suddenly had an idea just now. Listen to it and see if it’s okay?”

The two of them put down what they were doing and looked at Gu Xin.

Gu Xin suggested,’let’s make a snack Street! Grandpa and sister knew a lot of snacks, and the people from Qing Province were coming soon to let them learn from Grandpa and sister. After they learned it, they would teach it to the people of kun city. By then, we’ll be able to set up the food street at the trading area, and we’ll be able to earn money from the other five Nations.”
