Chapter 207 Baiweixuan takes on a new look



If Chang'an knew that Gu Lili thought this way, he would definitely have a good talk with her.

Chang'an has been working outside for so many days, no wonder he's tanned.

Fortunately, Gu Lili secretly applied sunscreen and wore a straw hat.

Otherwise, it's hard to imagine how hilarious it would be if Gu Lili were to blacken Chang'an like this.

After drinking the water, Gu Lili continued working.

It took seven or eight days of continuous planting to complete the planting of fifty acres of saplings.

Looking at the saplings, Gu Lili couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

In another two or three years, these saplings should grow up and bear fruit.

Then, we can also make mulberry wine.

Speaking of winemaking, Gu Lili bought some grape seedlings and peach seedlings and asked the villagers to help plant them.

It covers a total of more than 20 acres.

Gu Lili used the remaining 20-plus acres to plant flowers and the sweet potato seedlings she had previously cultivated.

Once the flowers are planted, it will be about time to plant the sweet potato seedlings.

Therefore, Gu Lili will be extremely busy these next few months.

One thing after another happened, but luckily Chang'an, her maternal grandmother, and her third uncle were there to help her, otherwise Gu Lili would have had no time to deal with it all.

Everyone has been working very hard these past few days. All Gu Lili needs to do is transport the saplings back to the yard and tell everyone how to plant them, and everyone will plant them according to Gu Lili's instructions.

"Yun Chu, I went to Donghai Town today to see that our Baiweixuan restaurant has been renovated. You and Da Hua can come with me to town tomorrow to take a look!" Gu Lili said to Gu Yun Chu while eating.

Because the craftsmen had never heard of many of the things Gu Lili designed, the progress was somewhat slow.

When Gu Lili went to see it yesterday, the craftsmen were finishing up the work.

Although it was slow, everything was done according to Gu Lili's design, so Gu Lili was quite satisfied.

Gu Lili especially liked those three pavilions.

I'll go check it out tomorrow, get familiar with the environment, clean up, and hang the gauze curtains that Gu Lili prepared on the pavilion. Then we can choose an auspicious day to open for business.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yun Chu quickly shoveled the rice in her bowl into her mouth.

"Sister, I'll go talk to Sister Da Hua about this right away! I'll tell her to get ready tomorrow!"

After saying that, he got up and ran outside without waiting for Gu Lili's response.

Gu Lili shook her head helplessly. This younger brother of hers was really something...

The people at the table couldn't help but chuckle as they watched Gu Yun Chu's retreating figure.

A few days ago, Gu Lili had already told Grandma Li and Li Tiansheng about their plan to open a restaurant.

So, they knew about this.

Gu Lili then turned to Chang'an and Li Tiansheng and said, "Third Uncle, Chang'an, these next few days, you two will lead everyone in planting trees. Chang'an, just like before, write down the names of everyone who comes each day so I can pay them later!"

These past few days, while planting trees, some people have occasionally been unable to come due to family matters.

Therefore, Gu Lili specifically instructed Chang'an to write down all the names.

Seeing that Li Tiansheng and Chang'an both nodded in agreement, Gu Lili continued eating.

Zuo Xiuhong is a woman of her word; she hasn't visited Gu Lili's house in the past few days.

Even the hot pot base was brought back by Li Qingshan, which Gu Lili hadn't expected.

What pleased Gu Lili even more was that the braised pork intestines she taught Zuo Xiuhong to make were very popular.

Zuo Xiuhong spends every day washing and cooking pork intestines.

However, this is just right, as it prevents Zuo Xiuhong from causing trouble, which would put Grandma in an awkward position between the two of them.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Gu Lili took Zhang Dahua and Gu Yunchu to Donghai Town.

Gu Lili parked the carriage and then used the key to open the door.

As soon as they opened the door, Zhang Dahua and Gu Yunchu were stunned by what they saw.

For a moment, I couldn't find any words to describe this restaurant.

Looking at the two of them, Gu Lili smiled and said, "Isn't it quite unique?"

The two then realized that this was the adjective they had been looking for.

When Gu Lili came yesterday, she bought a lot of green plants to put inside.

In addition, Gu Lili separated each table with a screen to ensure the privacy of the diners.

Gu Lili bought these screens from the mall. Each screen has a different pattern, all of them are ink paintings.

Gu Lili had made a point of observing the group when they dined at another restaurant last time.

Most of the people who come to the restaurant to dine are scholars who are treating their classmates to a meal.

Or they might be sons or daughters of wealthy families.

These people value elegance and refinement above all else.

Although this screen is as smooth as a cicada's wing, it allows light to pass through but not people.

Gu Lili also specially hung gauze curtains between the screens, so that if any diners did not want to be spied on, they could lower them to block others' prying eyes.

This is also a great place for girlfriends to have a meal when they go out for a get-together.

Gu Lili's tables are all against the wall, and in the empty space in the middle of the hall, Gu Lili has placed some green plants for people to enjoy.

"Sister Lili, this is the most beautiful house I've ever seen!" Zhang Dahua exclaimed.

Last time she went to Wanxianglou, she thought it was the best restaurant she had ever seen.

Today, I saw Gu Lili's Baiweilou, and it's even more beautiful than that Wanxianglou.

As Gu Lili led the two people from upstairs into the courtyard, their exclamations of amazement never ceased.

There are five private rooms upstairs.

Gu Lili named each room to make serving the dishes easier.

They are Mulan Pavilion, Zhuying Pavilion, Mudan Pavilion, Wutong Pavilion, and Meihua Lane.

Gu Lili specially asked the craftsman to carve her name on a wooden board and then hang it on the door.

To match the name of each private room, the patterns on the doors are engraved with the corresponding names.

Tables were set up in all three pavilions in the courtyard.

After Gu Lili and the two others hung up the gauze curtains, the atmosphere of the pavilion immediately improved.

If the wind blows and the young master or lady were to suddenly feel inspired and play a piece of music, it would be a truly delightful sight.

Gu Lili specially transformed this small courtyard into a pond.

However, the pool is not very deep, only up to ankle height, which ensures the safety of the diners.

Gu Lili has now had the water filled up, and many water lilies that have already sprouted have been planted inside.

I'm sure these three gazebos will be in high demand and booked up by summer.

The paths leading to the pavilion are separate, and each path is fenced off to prevent diners from falling into the pond.

Most of the people who come to eat drink some alcohol, just in case.

"Oh, sister, there are fish in here!"

Gu Yun Chu exclaimed in amazement, pointing to the small red fish swimming happily in the water.
