"Oh dear, Chenxi, this kind of work should be done by men. We girls should do what we're supposed to do."
Thinking of Li Tiansheng, Gu Lili's eyes darted around, and she teased, "If you turn into a tomboy, who would dare to marry you in the future!"
Gu Lili's words were meant to test Gu Chenxi's intentions and see her reaction.
To everyone's surprise, Gu Chenxi's face instantly turned red with embarrassment upon hearing this.
"Girl, I don't want to get married, I just want to serve you for the rest of my life."
Gu Chenxi spoke from the heart. Ever since her mother died, she had secretly made up her mind never to marry.
She really didn't want to end up like her mother, tormented to death by her husband.
Seeing Gu Chenxi's determined gaze, Gu Lili could only sigh for her third uncle, "The road to winning back his wife is long and arduous!"
Gu Lili took Gu Chenxi's hand and walked forward, saying as they walked, "Don't be so resolute. If you meet someone you like in the future, just tell me quietly, and I'll help you find a match. If he's a good person, I'll prepare your dowry so you can have a grand wedding."
Gu Chenxi's heartstrings trembled at Gu Lili's words.
She felt that meeting Gu Lili was like a stroke of good luck, as if her mother had appeared to her.
Based on what Gu Lili said, her own father would definitely not say such things.
Gu Chenxi secretly vowed in her heart that she would serve Gu Lili even better in the future.
She would even be willing to risk her life if necessary.
Gu Chenxi didn't respond, afraid that if she spoke, her voice would be choked with sobs, which would worry Gu Lili.
Seeing that Gu Chenxi didn't respond, Gu Lili took it as a yes and took Gu Chenxi's hand, walking towards the grocery store.
They got up early today, so there are still plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables available.
Gu Lili and her two companions quickly filled the shopping cart to the brim with all kinds of meat and vegetables.
Moreover, Gu Lili also selected a few honest vendors and negotiated with them to deliver these fresh ingredients to the restaurant every day, so that they wouldn't have to make the trip back and forth every day.
Gu Lili has now been granted another 300 acres of fertile land, and she has decided to grow some vegetables, which will make things even more convenient.
What the restaurant can't use, it can sell.
Moreover, we can grow some vegetables and fruits that are not available here, which is another way to make money.
After washing and preparing the vegetables, the group ate their lunch ahead of time. Gu Lili fed the little one some formula again, and soon after, people started to eat.
Most of the people who came had heard the rumors yesterday and came specifically to join in the fun.
Several of them were repeat customers from yesterday.
Because Gu Lili was afraid that the guests would bow to her upon seeing her, making everyone uncomfortable, she stayed in the kitchen to help out today.
Gu Chenxi and Aunt Zhang helped serve the dishes and clean up the dishes, and the morning passed by in such a busy manner.
Fortunately, having learned from yesterday's lesson, Gu Lili made sure to prepare plenty of meat and vegetables.
Even so, by the time it was time to rest, most of the prepared vegetables had been used up.
The five of them were so busy they barely had time to breathe. Once everyone had left, Gu Yun Chu closed the door, and the group of them slumped down on stools without any regard for appearances.
"Looks like we'll have to hire a few more people to help," Gu Lili muttered to herself.
In a few days, when Lord Lin arrives, Gu Lili will no longer be able to come and help.
We need to help Lord Lin grow the sweet potatoes, and we also need to plan how to plant the 300 acres of land.
After resting for a while, Gu Lili got up, found paper and ink, and began to write and draw.
Upon seeing this, Gu Yun Chu and the other three all stood up, wanting to see what Gu Li Li was up to.
Of the four people, only Gu Yun Chu knew a few characters. In total, Gu Yun Chu didn't even know ten characters, so they couldn't understand it no matter how they looked at it.
Gu Yun Chu asked, somewhat puzzled, "Sister, what are you writing? Who is this? What is this?"
Gu Yun Chu pointed at what Gu Li Li had written, her face full of doubt.
Gu Lili sighed, realizing she had been busy teaching Gu Yun Chu how to do accounts lately.
I didn't tell him to learn to read properly, but it seems he still has to learn.
Otherwise, they'd be selling someone out and then still paying the customer for it.
Gu Yun Chu looked completely puzzled, unaware that his sister was about to entrust him with a difficult task.
"I'd like to hire a few waiters to help out. Once Lord Lin arrives, Chenxi and I won't be able to come and help anymore," Gu Lili explained patiently.
Gu Lili brought Gu Chenxi along to avoid suspicion.
Otherwise, as a young woman, following a group of men around all day, people would inevitably gossip about her after a while.
After several months in this world, Gu Lili has gradually adapted to everything here.
Gu Yun Chu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we should hire another kitchen helper to help Sister Da Hua with the preparation of ingredients, so that she won't be so tired."
Aunt Zhang's face was full of relief after hearing Gu Yun Chu's words.
In contrast, Zhang Dahua was already blushing with embarrassment and hurriedly left towards the backyard under some pretext.
Seeing this, Gu Yunchu scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
Gu Lili smiled and handed the paper she had written to Gu Yun Chu, asking him to mix some paste and stick it on the outside of the door.
Just as Gu Lili was talking to Gu Yun Chu, she suddenly heard several whimpering sounds.
Gu Lili slapped her forehead, hurriedly gave Gu Yun Chu a few instructions, and then quickly headed to the kitchen.
I was so busy just now that I almost forgot about the little one.
It's probably calling out now because it's hungry.
There was already boiled water in the pot, so Gu Lili quickly grabbed a large bowl, filled it with water, and hurriedly carried it to the backyard.
As soon as the door to the cabin opened, the little guy looked at Gu Lili with a face full of grievance.
It seemed to be an accusation that Gu Lili was no longer caring about her.
"Oh dear, I was so busy just now. Here, I'll make you some to drink right away," Gu Lili said gently, stroking the little guy's head.
This water was originally boiled for washing dishes, and it's already been boiled. The current temperature is perfect for making milk.
Gu Lili quickly dissolved the milk powder in water and handed it to the little guy.
To everyone's surprise, the little guy not only refused to eat, but also took a step back, looked towards the door, and continued to whimper.
Gu Lili suddenly realized that she hadn't helped the little guy relieve himself since morning, and judging from his appearance, he must be desperate to go.
Gu Lili quickly picked up the little one and brought him out of the backyard.
The moment I put him on the ground, the little guy squatted down and peed.
After a splash of water, the little guy came over contentedly and rubbed against Gu Lili's leg.
