Chapter 68: “Help to Speak Up Later”
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“What porridge?” Guan Chibei looked at her meaningfully.
“Congee,” Ye Lulu said confidently. She had already thought of selling congee from the modern Guangdong. Transportation in the twenty-first century was advanced and convenient, so it was too easy to go to any city. Therefore, although Ye Lulu was not there, she had flown there to eat local delicacies several times. At home, she had even learned how to cook congee, so she knew how to cook it. “It’s a porridge that can be quickly cooked with ingredients on the spot. It’s delicious and rich, and it’s easy to cook. It’s very suitable to be sold at the docks.”
?
Upon hearing this, Guan Chibei once again felt that she was really good at eating. He reckoned that she had other ideas about food.
He said, “I don’t have any objections, but do you want our family to do this business?”
After all, Ye Lulu was still in confinement and could not go there personally.
“Yes, it’s too wasteful for Eldest Brother and the rest to go out and do manual labor every day,” Ye Lulu explained. “Since the family is so harmonious, why don’t we do a family business?”
Guan Chibei’s eyes were deep. “I agree, but I have to tell them.”
Ye Lulu’s eyes lit up. She did not know that she was leaning forward at this moment. As she was leaning against the bed, she raised her head and looked up at Guan Chibei with widened eyes. Her attitude was like a cat squinting its eyes. Her voice became lighter. “Then you have to help speak up later.”
Her suggestion was natural and reasonable.
Guan Chibei paused. In the current dynasty, few women could act so freely.
He thought for a while before turning around and walking out of the house to help Ye Lulu call Mother Rong in.
Mother Rong sat by the bed with a puzzled expression and asked, “What’s the matter? Why are you so mysterious?”
Ye Lulu told her about starting a business again.
Mother Rong first widened her eyes and was extremely stunned. “Go to the docks and start a food business?”
Then, her expression changed. It was an extremely complicated reaction. She seemed to be a little excited, a little worried, and a little hesitant and timid.
“This is too…” It was not that Mother Rong did not agree. She just looked at Ye Lulu hesitantly and said, “Lulu, why did you suddenly think of going to the city to do business? I thought you were tired enough with the triplets… It’s not that we can’t do this… It’s just that we don’t have any money at home. First, we can’t do it. Then, even if we do it but don’t earn money at all, then…”
This was the worry of farmers making money.
To put it bluntly, their family was too poor and they couldn’t afford to undergo any experiments. If they failed, they would really be living on air. Farmers relied on farming to survive. Although it was tough, it was stable and allowed them to live in a place for their entire lives. Although there were natural disasters, the risks were shared. If the harvest wasn’t good, everyone would work together. There wouldn’t be a sudden failure in business.
The Guan family indeed had no capital. They were so poor that all the money earned from manual labor was used to buy rice and noodles.
Guan Chibei remained silent. He could hunt, but he did not hunt much to improve the Guan family’s life.
Although the Guan family was poor, he did not seem to have any intention of interfering.
The Guan family did not rely on him to hunt. Mother Rong and the rest seemed to think that it was very difficult to hunt. One needed skills and luck. They did not think that Guan Chibei needed to hunt to support the Guan family’s life.
