Lunch was enjoyed by Gu Lili in the midst of her anticipation.
After Gu Huanhuan finished eating, she went to call Zhang Dahua.
When Zhang Dahua arrived, Gu Lili was clearing away the dishes.
She glanced at Gu Erniu and her face instantly turned red. However, this time, she did not ignore Gu Lili and walked towards her with a smile.
"Sister Lili, is there something you wanted to tell me?" Zhang Dahua asked with a sweet smile.
At some point, Zhang Dahua completely became a fan of Gu Lili.
She and Gu Lili are only less than a year apart, but Sister Lili seems to be able to do everything, as if she is omnipotent.
I wish I could be as good as one of Sister Lili's fingers.
Gu Lili jokingly laughed, "Oh, I thought you were the same as this morning, I couldn't even see where your sister Lili is!"
Zhang Dahua's face grew even redder.
Gu Erniu quickly lowered his head and tidied up the firewood he had just chopped on the ground, pretending that he hadn't heard anything.
If it weren't for the fact that he kept glancing at Zhang Dahua and Gu Lili out of the corner of his eye, people would have really believed that he was working diligently.
Zhang Dahua walked shyly up to Gu Lili and said, "Oh, Sister Lili, please stop teasing me. Tell me what you want to talk to me about?"
If Sister Lili continued talking, Zhang Dahua felt her face burning up.
Gu Lili covered her mouth and smiled, deciding to stop teasing her.
"I called you here to ask if you'd like to work as a chef at a restaurant?" Gu Lili cleared her throat and asked.
When Zhang Dahua heard Gu Lili say that, her eyes shone even brighter.
She nodded eagerly, "Is there really such a good thing? I'd love to! But, would they even be interested in me?"
Although Zhang Dahua loves cooking, there isn't a single restaurant in the entire Donghai Town that has a female chef.
Would anyone want a little girl like me?
Gu Erniu, who was pretending to be working, immediately perked up his ears to listen carefully to their conversation when Gu Lili said that.
Even Gu Sigou and Gu Huanhuan curiously came over.
Gu Lili smiled and nodded, "It's definitely true. Would I lie to you? You cook so well, how could anyone not like you?"
Zhang Dahua had long wanted to go out and find some work to do.
Her father's foot is injured and he can't work for the time being. Moreover, each time he gets medicine, it costs several hundred coins.
Her mother sighed all day long in secluded places, and Zhang Dahua guessed that the family probably had very little money left.
As the only child in the family, I naturally have to shoulder the burden of the family.
My parents raised me, so I have to think about them too.
Aunt Zhang takes care of the family's crops. If I could really become a chef in a restaurant, I could earn some money to supplement the family income.
"Great! Which restaurant is it? I'll go to town tomorrow and check it out!" Zhang Dahua said eagerly.
Gu Lili shook her head and said, "There's no rush. The restaurant hasn't opened yet! Come to our house these next couple of days, and I'll teach you some new dishes."
Gu Erniu had been eavesdropping the whole time, and when he heard Gu Lili say this, he was filled with questions.
He seemed to have never heard his sister mention any restaurants she knew, and what kind of restaurants required her to personally teach him how to cook?
Zhang Dahua asked first, "Sister Lili, the way you put it, it makes me feel like that restaurant belongs to your family!"
Zhang Dahua is indeed more quick-witted than Gu Erniu.
Gu Lili had originally planned to give the two of them a surprise, but it was clear that she couldn't keep it a secret any longer.
Gu Lili smiled and said, "Hmm, Da Hua, you're so smart. You're right. I've taken over this restaurant today. From now on, Er Niu will manage it, and you'll be the head chef. How about that?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Erniu immediately jogged over.
His face was full of surprise; he had no idea when his sister had taken over a restaurant for him.
"Sister, are you serious?" Gu Erniu looked at Gu Lili in disbelief.
Gu Erniu had been following his older sister around, learning how to do accounting and how to sell maltose. He had long wanted to test his own abilities.
However, that restaurant is probably not cheap; my sister said she'd take care of me, so she did.
If I were to ruin this restaurant, my sister would probably smash her head open.
Thinking this way, Gu Erniu became somewhat conflicted again.
Gu Lili looked at the changes in Gu Erniu's face and guessed what the brat was worried about.
If Zhang Dahua weren't still in front of me, and I didn't need to save him some face, I would have jumped up and given him a good whack on the head.
Gu Lili rolled her eyes at Gu Erniu and said, "I saw how well you helped your second uncle sell sugar paintings the other day, so why are you so timid when it's your turn? Don't worry about it! If anything happens, your sister will back you up! Besides, Da Hua's cooking skills are so good, what are you worried about!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Erniu realized that his sister's words made sense.
As long as the food in his restaurant is delicious and the hospitality is good, how could it possibly fail? He then smiled sheepishly and scratched his head.
"Sister, don't worry, I'll do my job well!" Gu Erniu assured her repeatedly.
Seeing Zhang Dahua's troubled expression, Gu Lili asked with some confusion, "Dahua, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Zhang Dahua glanced at Gu Lili and Gu Erniu, hesitating to speak, unsure how to begin.
"Are you afraid of what people in the village will say? This is all my fault. I should have settled your marriage first, then we wouldn't have to worry about what others say!" Gu Lili said first.
Zhang Dahua shook her head and said, "It's not like that, Sister Lili, it's just that... I feel I'm not good enough for Erniu. Your family is so rich now, the gap between our two families is just too big, I..."
Zhang Dahua was interrupted by Gu Erniu before she could finish speaking.
"Big Sister Hua, how are you not good enough for me? If anyone is not good enough, I think it's me who's not good enough for you. You're so beautiful, I'm afraid I'll make you feel bad. All the money in our family comes from your sister, so you don't need to have so many worries. Your sister often tells me that you must be confident and believe that you are the best!"
Gu Erniu's words came out like a burst dam. As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that everyone was looking at him, and suddenly he felt embarrassed.
Gu Lili patted Gu Erniu on the shoulder and agreed, "Erniu is right. You must be confident. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can definitely earn money. You must believe in yourself."
After Gu Lili finished speaking, she took Zhang Dahua's hand and said earnestly, "Dahua, don't have such thoughts in the future. We are all farmers, so what's this talk about being a good match or not!"
