Today, the county magistrate sent someone to deliver a message, and when the village headman heard it, his mind was buzzing.
Who would have thought that in just a few months, Gu Lili would be promoted from a township lady to a county lady.
You should know that back in the spring, this little girl almost starved to death.
It seems that ever since that incident, Gu Lili has been on a lucky streak.
The ancients were right: those who survive a great calamity are sure to have good fortune in the future!
After being shocked, the village headman asked the messenger who had come to deliver the message in detail.
Only then did I realize that Gu Lili was granted the title of county princess because of Digua.
Gu Lili had also sent a lot of these sweet potatoes to his family. Following the method taught by Gu Lili, they had grown long vines.
They should be able to propagate by cuttings in the next few days.
After the yamen runners left, the village headman quickly gathered the villagers and told them the good news.
After discussing it, they decided to wait at Gu Lili's door to welcome her.
Fortunately, Gu Lili decided to go home early today, otherwise they would have had to wait a long time.
Everyone rushed to thank Gu Lili, and Gu Lili felt her face getting sore from smiling.
"Wait a minute, everyone. Things happened so suddenly today, and I didn't prepare any food to treat you all. Luckily, I bought some sweet cookies a few days ago, so I'll share them with you all!" Gu Lili said with a smile.
Generally speaking, when there is a happy occasion in the family, a banquet is held to entertain everyone.
But this happened so suddenly that there was no time to prepare.
In addition, Gu Lili has been very busy lately and has no time to prepare a banquet, so she decided to buy some sweet cakes to treat everyone.
Gu Yun Chu was a little curious about when her sister had bought the cookies, as there were enough to share with so many people.
You should know that the people standing at his door right now are the entire Guzhuang village.
There were probably over a hundred people, young and old, and that's quite a lot of stuff.
When everyone heard that Gu Lili was going to give out sweet cookies, they all laughed and agreed.
"Alright, then we'll gladly accept your offer and share in your good fortune, Lili!"
Gu Yun Chu was still confused when Gu Li Li pulled her into the courtyard, with Gu Chen Xi following closely behind.
When Chang'an heard that they were going to move the sweet cakes, he exchanged a glance with Li Tiansheng and then stepped out of the crowd to follow Gu Lili to move the sweet cakes.
"Wait for me outside!" Gu Lili said to the people behind her once they were outside.
Without waiting for a reply from the person behind her, Gu Lili opened the door and went inside.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Lili bought the sweet cake from the trading space.
Looking at the pile of cookies, Gu Lili called out, "Come in!"
When they heard Gu Lili call them, Gu Yun Chu led the way and they went inside.
Everyone was stunned when they went inside.
Why would Gu Lili buy so many cakes when she's perfectly fine?
However, before they could ask any questions, Gu Lili took a sieve and led the way out.
One by one, everyone carried the dice and went outside.
At the doorway, someone had already helped move the dining table from Gu Lili's kitchen.
The sweet cookies that Gu Lili was carrying were placed right on the dining table.
Gu Lili bought this cookie, which had a little red in the middle, which suited the atmosphere quite well.
"Everyone line up, it's time to share the cookies!" the village headman called out happily.
Upon hearing this, everyone spontaneously lined up, waiting for Gu Lili to distribute the cakes.
Gu Lili bought a lot, so each person got two, symbolizing that good things come in pairs!
The Gu family members helped distribute the cookies, and soon everyone had two cookies in their hands.
Even Han Mingyue, Master Yuan, and Yuanbao mingled in the crowd and received two sweet cakes.
The village head, seeing that the assignments had been made, stepped forward and said, "Alright, alright, we've all shared in the good fortune, so let's all go home and not bother Lili!"
Upon hearing what the village head said, everyone bid farewell to Gu Lili and went home.
Gu Lili finally breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, she is somewhat socially anxious.
The villagers left, leaving only the Gu family members behind.
"Oh dear, Yun Chu, quickly go and bring down the sea cucumbers we picked today," Gu Lili said hurriedly, slapping her forehead.
Sea cucumbers are very precious. If they are kept out of the seawater for a long time, they will turn into a puddle of water and become inedible.
Upon hearing Gu Lili's words, Gu Yun Chu quickly got into the carriage and took out all the seafood he had collected that day.
Gu Lili stood under the carriage, took the bucket, and breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, there was no sign of it being used for paddling.
Once we get these sea cucumbers home, we need to process them as soon as possible.
"Grandma, go boil a pot of water. Chenxi, Yunchu, come quickly and help me prepare the sea cucumbers," Gu Lili said to everyone as she looked at the sea cucumbers in the bucket.
Originally, everyone was waiting for the villagers to disperse so they could ask Gu Lili some questions.
But seeing Gu Lili's flustered expression, everyone wisely refrained from asking and quickly helped Gu Lili clean the sea cucumbers.
The sea cucumber needs to be opened up, then washed with clean water, and then boiled in a pot for about half an hour.
After the food shrinks during cooking, it needs to be washed again and soaked in clean water for two days, with the water changed several times in between.
Two days later, the sea cucumbers will become larger and softer than when they are cooked, and then they can be dried.
After drying, when you want to eat it, you can take it out, soak it in cold water, and then use it to cook.
After soaking the sea cucumbers in water, everyone finally surrounded Gu Lili and asked her the question.
Gu Yun Chu: "Sister, when did you buy those wedding cakes?"
Grandma Li asked, "Lili, isn't the county magistrate more important than the township magistrate?"
Li Tiansheng: "Wow, Lili, I heard the Emperor bestowed upon you three hundred acres of fertile land. What are you planning to plant?"
"......"
Gu Lili didn't know whose question to answer for a moment, so she just picked a few questions to answer randomly.
“Grandma, the county magistrate is indeed more important than the township magistrate. Third Uncle, I haven’t decided on the land yet. We’ll talk about it later.”
As Gu Lili spoke, she turned her gaze to Gu Yun Chu.
"Yun Chu, these sweet cookies were bought for you and Da Hua's engagement ceremony. I never expected they'd come in handy today!"
Gu Lili spoke earnestly, which immediately made Gu Yun Chu blush deeply.
This matter had been arranged with Aunt Zhang long ago, but it was delayed because Uncle Zhang injured his leg.
It's not too surprising that Gu Lili is using this as an excuse now.
Zhang Dahua will be working at the Donghai Town restaurant with Gu Yunchu every day from now on, so this matter needs to be settled as soon as possible.
Otherwise, over time, people will definitely start gossiping behind your back.
Everyone smiled and looked at Gu Yun Chu, who quickly said, "I'll go feed the chickens and ducks!"
