Gu Lili was naturally more than happy to accept it.
Although the county magistrate had previously told her to let him know when the restaurant opened, Gu Lili was still too embarrassed to do so.
Although Gu Lili often went to the county government office, she wasn't very familiar with the county magistrate.
Inviting the county magistrate here rashly would be impolite.
Gu Lili thought the magistrate was just being polite, but she didn't expect him to actually come.
"Our shop opens tomorrow. If the magistrate and Master Li have time, you are welcome to come and have a taste, and give us your feedback," Gu Lili said with a smile.
Although Gu Lili was granted the title of Township Head by the Emperor, it was ultimately a title bestowed arbitrarily.
Nothing can compare to the illustrious reputation of the local officials of Donghai Town.
If the county magistrate were to actually come, many people would surely follow and come to taste it.
This is also a great opportunity to promote your restaurant.
Master Li smiled and agreed, then hurried back to the county office to find the magistrate.
When they arrived at the county government office, the magistrate was still busy receiving people from the capital.
Li Shiye walked discreetly to the magistrate's side and, in a voice only the two of them could hear, informed the magistrate that Gu Lili Restaurant would be opening the next day.
After listening, the magistrate quickly understood Li's intention.
He continued smiling and chatting with the people from the capital.
After Gu Lili and the other two finished preparing the dishes, they drove the carriage home.
Since the restaurant is opening tomorrow, Gu Lili thought she would go to the beach first to see if there was any seafood that she could use to entertain guests tomorrow.
The carriage stopped by the roadside, and Gu Lili led the two of them toward the seaside.
It wasn't low tide, but that didn't stop Gu Lili from going beachcombing.
Since the locals eat seafood like conch, it's actually a good deal for Gu Lili.
The weather has probably warmed up recently, and many snails have come to the shore to lay their eggs.
When Gu Lili went down, she saw the densely packed snails and her eyes narrowed with delight.
"Beep, spicy snails are thirty coins a pound!"
Hearing the system's voice, Gu Lili became even happier.
Fortunately, Gu Lili had the foresight to prepare the bucket in advance.
This bucket was brought out by Gu Lili from the restaurant.
"Dahua, Yunchu, you two pick these snails, and we'll take them to the restaurant to sell tomorrow!" Gu Lili said excitedly.
Zhang Dahua had never eaten snail meat before, and she couldn't help but frown when she saw the snail.
Zhang Dahua asked doubtfully, "You can eat this ugly thing?"
She really hadn't expected that this thing could be eaten.
Wouldn't your teeth just fall out?
Gu Yun Chu had already eaten, but looking at the spicy snails, she unconsciously swallowed.
"Big Sister Hua, these spicy snails are delicious. I'll send them to you to try after I've cooked them tonight!" Gu Yun Chu said with a smile.
Gu Lili pursed her lips. Wow! This second brother really knows how to take care of people.
These spicy snails are indeed delicious, but they're quite similar to houttuynia cordata.
Spicy snails have a natural spiciness and bitterness, which some people can accept, while others cannot.
However, these rocks are not only home to snails, but also to scallops.
Then, we can let everyone taste everything before they order.
If these conch shells become popular, it will provide a way for people in the village who can't do heavy work to earn some money.
Seeing the teasing smile in Gu Lili's eyes, Zhang Dahua blushed and glared at Gu Yun Chu. Without saying a word, she quickly lowered her head and began picking up the spicy snails.
Gu Yun Chu was a little confused as to why Sister Da Hua would suddenly want to look at her.
Seeing that Gu Lili and Zhang Dahua had started picking snails, he also hurried to pick some.
Gu Lili was afraid there wouldn't be enough for people to enjoy tomorrow, so she resisted the urge to sell the snails into the system today.
If this is popular, selling one copy will definitely be more cost-effective than selling it through the system.
The group lowered their heads and began picking snails. It has to be said, picking snails is a real stress reliever.
Watching the snails fill the bucket one by one, Gu Lili felt a great sense of accomplishment.
In her past life, she always thought that it would be great if she lived by the sea so she could go beachcombing every day.
Now, my dream has come true.
After collecting a bucket of snails, Gu Lili and the others began harvesting oysters.
This oyster omelet is also a must-try; I believe many people will enjoy it.
With no competitors, the oysters quickly filled a bucket.
Gu Lili then took the two of them home.
By the time I got home, it was past lunchtime.
"Sister, there's rice left in the pot for you!" Gu Huanhuan said as soon as she saw Gu Lili return.
This must have been done by Gu Chenxi.
Gu Lili nodded and asked, "Huanhuan, have you eaten? Where's your sister Chenxi?"
Gu Lili was a little curious because she didn't see Gu Chenxi when she came in.
"Sister Chenxi went to plant trees!" Gu Huanhuan answered truthfully.
Gu Huanhuan felt as if her family had gained someone even more impressive than her second brother.
That's Gu Chenxi.
She seemed to have inexhaustible energy, just like her family's oxen.
After eating breakfast, Gu Lili and the others went to Donghai Town. Gu Chenxi chopped firewood at home and then went to work in the fields by herself.
It was probably something that Grandma Li told her when she went to sleep last night.
After planting the trees, Gu Chenxi rushed home to cook lunch. After eating and washing the dishes, she went back to the fields.
During lunch, Grandma Li praised Gu Chenxi highly.
She said that even Li Tiansheng wasn't as quick as her at planting trees.
It's hard to imagine how someone so thin could seem so full of energy.
Gu Lili nodded, indicating that she understood.
Then he had dinner with Gu Yun Chu and Zhang Da Hua.
After eating, Zhang Dahua went home.
Gu Lili then took Gu Yunchu to the fields to help with the work.
Everyone is busy, so it's not good for Gu Lili to just stay at home.
Moreover, she's not the kind of person who can stay idle.
When Gu Lili arrived at the field, she was stunned by the sight before her.
Li Tiansheng and Gu Chenxi seemed to be competing to see who could plant trees faster.
Although Gu Chenxi was covered in sweat, her hands did not stop moving at all.
She quickly buried a sapling in the soil, and once it was buried, she didn't stop for a moment.
Pick up the next one and start again.
In contrast, Li Tiansheng, standing to the side, seemed rather flustered.
Although he kept planting trees, his eyes kept glancing in Gu Chenxi's direction, so he couldn't keep up with Gu Chenxi's pace at all.
"Third Uncle, Sister Chenxi, you two should take a rest!" Gu Lili said with a smile.
These two are clearly sweating profusely, yet they're still secretly competing with each other—how childish!
"Lili, you're back!" Li Tiansheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Lili return.
During dinner today, my mother kept comparing herself to Chenxi, saying that she was not as good as Chenxi.
