"Oh, homemade!" The fat man smacked his lips, watching Gu Xin eat until her forehead was sweating and she was already eating her second bowl. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
It smells fucking good!
The other people at the tables around Gu Shouxin were in the same situation; they couldn't help it because they were too close, and the aroma wafted over.
The shopkeeper noticed the situation and hesitated before stepping forward to ask Gu Shouxin, "Sir, may I ask if you can sell the food you brought?"
Originally, the family had planned to go directly to the shopkeeper to buy the food, and then borrow the kitchen to cook a dish for the shopkeeper to taste.
But just now, Cai Xiaolian changed her mind and only asked the shopkeeper to borrow the kitchen and some seasonings, and they would pay her.
The innkeeper was naturally happy to accept the order of a table full of dishes.
Although Gu Shouxin was unaware that Cai Xiaolian had changed her plans at the last minute, he knew that things weren't going according to plan because she brought the dishes out so quickly. So, he remained particularly calm: "That's fine, but, shopkeeper, how about we talk about it later?"
"Yes, yes, I'm so sorry, sir. I've disturbed your meal. To express my apologies, I'll bring some snacks to your table. Please enjoy your meal!" The innkeeper was relieved to hear that they could talk, and then sincerely ordered the waiter to bring a bowl of white fungus and wolfberry soup, as well as a pastry.
Each person gets a bowl of white fungus soup. The white fungus is cooked until thick, with brown sugar added, and garnished with red goji berries. It looks very delicious.
The pastry was just a very ordinary osmanthus cake.
Lu Zheng was curious about the magic of the pickled chili peppers, so he couldn't resist scooping up a spoonful to eat.
"It really goes well with rice," Cai Xiaolian said when she saw that Lu Zheng was finally eating the dish.
Lu Zheng took a bite with some skepticism. It was a bit spicy, but within his tolerance range, especially when eaten with white rice. Mmm, delicious, really fragrant!
No wonder Xin'er, who usually has a light appetite, likes it so much.
After the group finished eating, the innkeeper invited them to the reception room in the backyard.
Seeing that the Gu family didn't stop him from going along, Lu Zheng shamelessly followed them.
"What is your surname, sir?" the innkeeper asked after the guests sat down, having the waiter serve tea.
"My surname is Gu, and I am the second son in my family," Gu Shouxin replied, sitting upright.
Gu Nian and Gu Xin sat next to Cai Xiaolian, their postures upright. Apart from Gu Xin looking a little nervous, the mother and daughter seemed very natural.
"My surname is Cheng. May I address you as Second Master Gu?" The shopkeeper couldn't quite tell who Gu Shouxin was.
Although he was driving an oxcart and carrying a basket commonly used by farmers, his overall demeanor didn't seem like that of a peasant family.
And there was his wife and daughter beside him. His younger daughter probably rarely went out and was a bit reserved, but his older daughter didn't look like a village girl at all. And his wife didn't look like an ordinary village woman either.
The manager is very responsible; he personally inspects all the ingredients used in the restaurant, so he has come into contact with many vegetable farmers.
This family didn't look like vegetable farmers at all, so after thinking about it, he decided it wouldn't hurt to call them "Second Master."
"Manager Cheng," Gu Shouxin said, bowing slightly.
"Second Master Gu, you just said we could discuss this. May I ask how many vendors sell this food?" Manager Cheng cupped his hands in greeting and then asked.
"To be honest, Manager Cheng, my wife and daughter made this food together. As for the price, perhaps you should discuss it with them," Gu Shouxin said with a smile.
