Chapter 441 Chang'an, This is the gift I'm giving you



This is actually the reason why Gu Lili waited for Gu Yun Chu in the main room.

After tomorrow, Yin Jiuchen will be leaving.

Gu Lili thought that the restaurant would be busy for a while tomorrow, and then everyone would come back.

Tomorrow night, let's cook a nice meal to bid farewell to Yin Jiuchen.

Gu Lili told Gu Yun Chu her thoughts, and Gu Yun Chu nodded repeatedly.

“Yes, Brother Chang’an has lived in our house for so long that I’ve come to regard him as family. Now that he’s leaving, we should have a proper farewell. Sister, could you tell me what groceries you need to buy? I’ll buy them all tomorrow.”

Gu Lili thought for a moment, then sat down and wrote down a long list of dishes on a piece of paper.

After finishing writing, Gu Lili handed the menu to Gu Yunchu.

Gu Yun Chu took a look and saw that these dishes were all Yin Jiu Chen's favorites.

That's true, the farewell dinner should definitely include some of his favorite dishes.

Gu Yun Chu carefully put away the menu in her hand, then went to wash up and prepare for bed.

I'm really tired after a busy day at the restaurant.

Gu Lili also extinguished the candles in the room and went back to her own room.

Lying in the room, Gu Lili tossed and turned, finding it difficult to fall asleep.

She simply sat up, opened the system, and began selecting items to send to Chang'an.

Essential oil soaps are a must; we should send more.

This way, Yin Jiuchen could give them to those nobles and dignitaries, and Gu Lili wouldn't have to worry about how to open up the market.

As for how to explain the origin of this soap, Gu Lili had already thought of her words.

Anyway, Gu Lili pushed everything she could to Uncle Facai.

Gu Lili also prepared some peach blossom wine.

In addition to peach blossom wine, we also prepared some wine.

These are all wines she plans to brew in large quantities next spring and summer.

As she looked around, Gu Lili suddenly started looking at ready-made clothes again.

I accidentally bought several sets.

Gu Lili sighed helplessly, "So be it."

These clothes were then included in the gift to be given to Yin Jiuchen.

That will reduce the awkwardness.

After some searching, Gu Lili bought two more tranquilizer guns.

Gu Lili originally wanted to give him a knife or sword, but after thinking it over, she decided that this tranquilizer gun was better.

It doesn't hurt people, but it can knock them down.

After buying the items, Gu Lili was a little sleepy.

He tucked the blanket around himself, adjusted to a comfortable sleeping position, and began to snore away.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the rooster in Gu Lili's chicken coop began to crow.

Perhaps because she had rested well, Gu Lili was woken up early this morning by the rooster.

Unable to fall asleep any longer, Gu Lili simply got up.

Gu Lili thought that she was the only one in the family who got up the earliest.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I pushed the door open, I saw that Grandma Li and Gu Chenxi were already busy.

Gu Lili felt more and more that her decision to let Aunt Zhang open the canteen was absolutely right.

After these busy days are over, I'll have to go and buy a few more maids.

Otherwise, once Gu Chenxi gets married and Old Mrs. Li goes back to the Li family to take care of Zuo Xiuhong, she definitely won't be able to manage on her own.

After quickly washing up, Gu Lili started cooking for the two of them.

With three people cooking, the process is faster.

Today we had sweet potato porridge, along with egg and vegetable pancakes, and a few refreshing side dishes.

And so, a day full of energy begins.

After dinner, Gu Lili took the coarse salt she had extracted the day before and prepared to further refine it.

Yin Jiuchen naturally followed behind Gu Lili, helping her with the tasks.

Wei Yin followed closely behind, wanting to help start the fire, but Yin Jiuchen stopped him in his tracks with a sharp look.

Wei Yin was somewhat confused. He felt that there was nothing wrong with wanting to help.

Waaaaah!

Yin Jiuchen helped Gu Lili light the fire, and Gu Lili put coarse salt into the pot, poured in warm water, and stirred it well.

Let the coarse salt dissolve completely in the warm water.

Then filter it, and what's completely dissolved in the water is a high-concentration salt solution.

Those that are insoluble in water are all impurities and should be discarded.

Gu Lili poured the filtered concentrated salt water back into the pot and boiled it again.

"Chang'an, make the fire bigger," Gu Lili said to Chang'an beside her.

Chang'an threw a few pieces of firewood into the stove, and soon the fire grew bigger.

The pot started bubbling and bubbling.

After simmering for a while, salt crystals began to appear in the pot, and Gu Lili quickly asked Chang'an to remove some of the firewood.

Once you see crystals forming, you can start cooking over medium heat.

The salt water in the pot began to crystallize slowly at a visible rate, and Gu Lili started to stir-fry it with a spatula.

As the water in the pot gradually evaporates, the refined salt is extracted.

Gu Lili took out a glass bottle she had prepared beforehand and put all the precious salt into it.

"Chang'an, this is my gift to you." Gu Lili smiled and handed the glass bottle to Yin Jiuchen.

Yin Jiuchen carefully took the glass bottle from Gu Lili's hand.

Overwhelmed with excitement, they successfully extracted the refined salt.

Hard work really pays off!

From then on, the people of Nanyue Kingdom never lacked salt again!

Yin Jiuchen exclaimed excitedly, "Lili, you are truly a lucky star for my Nanyue Kingdom!"

"The Lucky Star of the Southern Yue Kingdom!"

Gu Lili echoed Yin Jiuchen's words.

As soon as she saw Yin Jiuchen about to speak, Gu Lili guessed what he was going to say.

"Yes, yes, yes! Lucky Star!" Yin Jiuchen excitedly repeated.

Such an intelligent woman, I believe the Emperor and Empress will definitely like Gu Lili very much.

He would then take the opportunity to bring up the matter of announcing the annulment of the engagement.

If we mention again that we intend to bring Gu Lili into the Eastern Palace, I believe Father and Mother will agree.

Yin Jiuchen became happier and happier as he thought about it, wishing he could set off for the capital immediately and tell the Emperor and Empress about it the next day.

This also fulfilled my long-cherished wish.

"Oh, Chang'an, what's making you so happy?"

As soon as the two turned around, they saw the village head and Uncle Dazhu standing behind them with smiles on their faces.

When Gu Lili saw that it was Grandpa Village Head, she knew he must have come to measure the land.

She quickly greeted the two men with a smile, "Grandpa Village Head, Uncle Dazhu, wait for me a moment, I'll go and call Aunt Rou over right away."

The village head and Uncle Dazhu nodded repeatedly, and Gu Lili went to Yu Yirou's side.

When Gu Lili arrived at Yu Yirou's room, she found that Lao Zhou and the others had already made the wooden bed.

Judging from this, it must have been rushed out.

No wonder they all finished their meal quickly yesterday evening.

At the time, Gu Lili was thinking that these people were probably just reserved and hadn't adjusted yet.

In a few days, I should be able to fully adapt to family life.

"Sister Lili, you're here!"
