Chapter 1078 The Most Profitable Thing
"Yingjiemei, hurry up and write, write more!" Qin Liupo shouted immediately when she saw the opportunity to cheat.
Yingjiemei felt deeply ashamed.
This is Mrs. Guan looking for an excuse to give gifts to several children. How old are they? Why are they still fighting over them? Little Fubao doesn't even write characters and strokes to win the prize.
Therefore, this time the prize was given to Qin Xiaogu. The prize was a clever money box, but the prize was still at Guan's house and would be moved in tomorrow.
But it was also enough to make Qin Liupo jealous. The ingenious money box was something that ordinary people could not have. She wanted it!
So when Old Man Guan asked another simple question, Auntie Qin was not happy and said, "Grandmother-in-law, you can't just give them easy answers on every question. You have to give them something more complicated, otherwise we won't agree."
No, your onion?
What's the point of your not agreeing?
But Madam Guan still gave her face and said with a smile, "Then what kind of questions do you think the niece-in-law should ask?"
Qin Liupo was still thinking about the recipe. She said, "Fangzi, test them. What's the most profitable business or recipe in the world? Yes, that's it!"
Haha, once she knows the recipe, she'll go and do this business herself and make a fortune.
When she becomes rich and powerful, she will be the one who distributes dividends, so that Xiaomi will flatter her and she will deduct dividends from Xiaomi for no reason!
Hey, Qin Xiaomi looked at Qin Liupo's old face, which was almost laughing madly, and turned away with disgust.
This?
"Okay." Madam Guan looked at Qin Xiaogu, then turned to the other children before asking the latest question: "This time, the question is, what is the most profitable thing in the world? You don't need to list the most, just name the top ten most profitable things."
"New dyes, new anthelmintics, and ginseng!" Qin Liupo was the first to give an answer, and proudly said to Mrs. Guan, "Grandma, these three answers given by me are very profitable."
Humph, she just didn't believe it. What else could these half-grown kids with limited knowledge come up with to make more money?
If she could really tell it, it would mean that she knew a new way to make money, and then she could use it to trade and make a lot of money.
Jiang Xiaozhu, Qin Xiaomai, Jiang Erlang, Qin Sheng, Qin Mao and others were really stumped.
It seems that apart from these three, they really don’t know what else can make a lot of money?
However, they still gave their answers one by one.
For example, salt, iron, tea, silk, brocade, cotton, charcoal, etc.
Madam Guan said, "Yes, they are all children who understand the affairs of the household."
Then he looked at Qin Xiaogu: "Xiaogu, what's your answer? Don't be afraid. We're at home, so you should be brave."
This child is too cautious and seeks stability, and lacks the pioneering spirit.
Qin Xiaogu finally gave an answer after hearing this: "It is this."
He took out a silver note.
Ah this?
Hahaha, Qin Liupo laughed: "You have become stupid from studying. This is a silver note, a dead thing. You can't make money. You lose."
Uncle Qin almost choked to death on the tea, and Guan Shuli was also shocked. They all looked at Qin Xiaomi... They both felt that it must have been Qin Xiaomi who taught them.
Otherwise, how could Xiao Gu, a child not even twelve years old, know the real use of the banknotes?
Qin Xiaomi felt quite wronged: "Why are you looking at me? I didn't teach him that. I just said that banknotes are just waste paper."
That is……
"Did you figure it out by yourself?" Uncle Qin asked cautiously. That would be even more terrifying.
Qin Xiaogu was a perceptive child. He seemed to think his answer was too scary, so he said, "Grandpa Xun said so."
Old Man Xun, who wasn't present: "..." Trying to pin the blame on the old man again? Can't you stop copying your cousin!
"Oh, that's good, that's good." Uncle Qin breathed a sigh of relief.
If my nephew is too smart, he might end up in a worse situation than him.
But Qin Liupo only asked Old Madam Guan: "Is Xiaogu's answer correct? It can't be really correct, right? Why?"
Mrs. Guan didn't elaborate, only saying, "Your answer and Little Zhu's answer to the question about salt, iron, and tea are both correct. The prize is a pair of gold bracelets. You can each get one. I'll send them to you tomorrow."
"Oh my God, I really got the first prize!" Qin Liupo was so happy that she showed off for a long time until Madam Guan asked the next question.
There were ten questions in total. After Xiao Fubao got a prize, Madam Guan ended the game.
She continued, "I'm tired. Let's go to the side room in the back house to rest for the afternoon. Sister Shu, you should spend some time chatting with your mother. When you want to go home, just call Grandma."
"Hey," Qin Xiaogu responded.
Jiang Xiaozhu volunteered: "Guan Azu, I will take you to my room to rest for lunch. My room is my aunt's former boudoir."
"Okay, fine, you take Grandpa Guan with you." Old Lady Guan let Jiang Xiaozhu hold her hand and went to the room where she lived.
Seeing this, the other families helped to clean up the table and then tactfully said goodbye and went home.
Lu Jiu and Han Wanniang were shocked again. After returning home, they closed the door and said to their husbands, "The Guan family is so wealthy and well-established. How could a family without such wealth know how to play games like setting tests and giving prizes?"
After being shocked, the two said, "We must keep an eye on mother-in-law. We can't let her say anything that would ruin our relationship with the Fifth Clan and the Guan family... Without these two relatives, our future generations will have much less help."
There was nothing to hide from their men, so they just spoke frankly.
Qin Ying and Qin Jie were quite happy... After all, their wives were willing to be honest with them, which showed that they really wanted to spend their lives with them.
They both felt their wife was right and nodded, "Well, from now on, let's keep an eye on Mom and don't let her ruin our family's fortune."
Not only did Qin Liupo not get to show off when she married this daughter-in-law, but she also had two more people to supervise her. From then on, her life was filled with frustration and she couldn't even speak freely.
Because whenever she wanted to speak freely, her two daughters-in-law would interrupt her, almost causing her internal injuries.
……
At 3 p.m., Grandma Qin had a private conversation with Aunt Qin. Old Madam Guan also woke up and was packing up to go home.
Before leaving, Grandma Qin handed over the invitation and solemnly invited Mrs. Guan to be the main guest of Qin Xiaomi's coming-of-age ceremony.
"Miss Xiaomi is going to be a coming-of-age girl. This is great news. Okay, I will definitely be there." Old Lady Guan took on the responsibility of being the main guest at the coming-of-age ceremony.
He sighed again, "The Qin family is a virtuous family, and their descendants are all unicorns. They should be released to benefit the world. Otherwise, wouldn't their talents and gifts be wasted?"
Because of Qin Er's affair, the Qin family was terrified of taking the imperial examination and becoming an official. But now the situation has changed, and the Qin family's status has changed as well. If they don't enter the court to become officials, and don't compete or fight for power, they will only face death.
"Xiao Gu knows at such a young age that banknotes are the most profitable thing in the world. Such keenness and talent are rare in a million miles. He should be well cultivated and guided and should not be buried." Old Lady Guan said earnestly.
Grandma Qin finally came to her senses and said hurriedly, "You're too kind. He's just a kid. How could he be as serious as you say?"
"Besides, it's just the nature of the banknotes. Lao Er and Xiaomi both know about it. It's not just Xiao Gu who knows."
Madam Guan: "But Xiao Gu is the youngest... He is so young, yet he can see through the silver bills, a tool of plunder, and see through this ancient conspiracy. He is destined not to stay at home and be just a small accountant."
