Translated version
Vermicelli-maker
Father Goriot's nickname and former profession. During the years of the revolution, he managed to take advantage of famine and grain shortages to accumulate a huge fortune by trading flour and pasta. This shows that he was an astute, hard businessman, and not always such a helpless old man.
Original version
Vermišelininkas
Gorijo pravardė ir buvusi profesija. Revoliucijos metais jis sugebėjo pasinaudoti badu ir grūdų trūkumu, kad sukauptų milžinišką turtą prekiaudamas miltais ir makaronais. Tai rodo, kad jis buvo apsukrus, kietas verslininkas, o ne visada buvo toks bejėgis senis.
