There was a cart, a pot, a gas stove, and a sign that read 'Gu Keep'.
"Peanut candy, peanut candy, freshly baked, fragrant and crispy peanut candy!”
"Don't miss it when you pass by. Gu's Peanut Candy. You won't forget it once you eat it, but you'll feel itchy after eating it twice."
"Buy it for your family. I guarantee that they'll say it's great ~ great ~ great ~"
A handsome young man in a white shirt and white trousers was pushing a cart by the roadside and shouting.
"Good morning, Little Xuan.""Good morning
, Fourth Granduncle
.""Good morning, Little Xuan.""Good morning, Aunt He."
The passers-by greeted him warmly as if they knew him.
The young man responded to them one by one with a smile on his face, not neglecting anyone at all.
This young man was called Gu Mingxuan. He was 18 years old this year and had dropped out of school after finishing his third year of middle school to start a business to help his family make ends meet.
In the past three years, he had sold newspapers, cigarettes, errands, and horse racing tickets.
Gu Mingxuan did not earn much money, but he had learned something more important than money.
Gu Mingxuan called it a business book.
At this moment, even if it was just selling peanut candy, Gu Mingxuan treated it seriously. This was Gu Mingxuan's way of doing business, and it was also a businessman's code that he strictly abided by.
"Xiao Xuan, why are you so early today?”
An old woman walked to the front of the cart.
"Good morning, Granny Zhang. Take two pieces of peanut candy to eat."
Gu Mingxuan took out a small paper bag and filled it with several pieces of peanut candy before handing it to the old lady.
"Xiao Xuan, you're really a good child. However, I'm from the same village as you. I'm eating your peanut candy for free every day, so I'm quite embarrassed.”
"How about this? You weigh five catties for me today, and I'll buy it for my family!”
After saying that, the old lady took out a 50-dollar note and placed it on Gu Mingxuan's table.
"Alright, Granny Zhang, please wait a moment."
Gu Mingxuan skillfully picked up the knife on the chopping board and cut the peanut candy. When he felt that it was about five pounds, he put it on the weighing scale and weighed it.
Five catties and two coins!
Just nice.
After Gu Mingxuan packed the paper bag, he did not forget to put the one he had given to the old lady into it as well.
"Granny Zhang, take it well. "
Little Xuan, I find that you're becoming more and more business-minded." The
old lady smiled and left after taking the bag.
After that, other neighbors came to take care of Gu Mingxuan's business.
Although there was never a long queue in front of the stall, business never stopped.
Just like that, Gu Mingxuan sold out all the peanut candies in the morning.
Counting the total, Gu Mingxuan realized that he had received 390 yuan, 50 more than yesterday!
It seemed that he had to increase production tomorrow! This way, he could get closer to his target.
At the thought of this, Gu Mingxuan was filled with motivation. He quickly packed his things and headed home.
When he got home, he saw a white-haired old man brewing syrup in front of a stove.
"Mom, how many times have I told you? If you're sick, just rest at home. I'll take care of these things.”
Gu Mingxuan's eyes reddened at the sight of the old woman's back. He hurriedly walked over to support her.
"Xiao Xuan, I'm happy that your business is so good. Mother was old and couldn't help Xiaoxuan sell peanut candies. She could only help Xiaoxuan prepare ingredients at home.
Li Xiulian allowed Gu Mingxuan to help her sit on a chair. She patted Gu Mingxuan's head lovingly, feeling sorry for him.
Other people's children should still be studying at this age, right? However, her child had long dropped out of school to learn how to run a business at home. Not only did he have to earn money to support his family, but he also had to repay the bank loan.
"Mom, Dad has already left. I don't want to lose you again. Promise me, take good care of your illness and don't think of anything else.
Although 'Gu Mingxuan' was not the same Gu Mingxuan from three years ago, after spending some time together, he had long treated Li Xiulian and Gu Shoucheng as his biological parents.
His father, Gu Shoucheng, passed away two years ago. Since then, Li Xiulian's health had worsened. Gu Mingxuan did not want to lose another family member. This was his last blood relative in this world.
"Xiao Xuan, I'm sorry!”
Li Xiulian suddenly cried and hugged Gu Mingxuan. Every time she thought of her family's situation and her illness, she could not control her emotions.
Gu Mingxuan knew that she was feeling guilty.
She felt guilty towards Gu Mingxuan because she had not fulfilled her responsibility as a mother. Even though Gu Mingxuan had advised her many times, she still remained the same. Gu Mingxuan did not know what to say. He could only hug her tightly and tell her some jokes to cheer her up.
After helping his mother to her bed, Gu Mingxuan continued to boil the syrup. After the color of the syrup was even, he added the syrup and stir-fried it over medium heat. He didn't add the peanuts until the pot was bubbling. Then, he stirred and stir-fried it again before pouring it into the mold.
After cooling down, the peanut candy turned into shape.
Gu Mingxuan opened a small piece and tasted it.
To be honest, he always felt that the peanut candies he made were crispy enough, but they were not tasty enough.
He thought about it for a long time and felt that the problem should be the ratio of materials. He had tried this ratio countless times, but he had always failed. Of course, it wasn't that he didn't gain anything in the process. At least, he made some slight improvements.
