"Oh my, I thought it was my imagination, Sister Lili, it really is you back!" Zhang Dahua's loud voice came from behind Gu Lili.
Gu Yun Chu said she was going to close the shop for a lunch break, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't come back.
Worried, Zhang Dahua hurriedly went out to search.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped outside, I saw three carriages parked at the entrance of the alley next to the restaurant.
Upon seeing Zhui Feng, Zhang Dahua jogged over.
She guessed that Gu Lili must have returned.
As I walked by, I was surprised to find that it really was Gu Lili.
"Oh my, Big Flower, you've grown so tall! Come on, help me help Madam Yu with this!"
It turns out that not only Gu Yun Chu has grown taller, but Zhang Da Hua has also grown taller.
Moreover, it looks even better now.
Zhang Dahua chuckled and quickly stepped forward to help.
The two of them worked together to lift Yu Yirou down.
The people in the other carriages also got off, curiously looking around the main street of Donghai Town.
"Sister, who are they?" Gu Yun Chu asked, tying the ropes up and looking at the people standing next to Gu Li Li.
Gu Yun Chu had many questions in her mind about why Li Er Shu stayed in Jiangdu.
And why did Gu Lili bring so many people back?
Gu Lili glanced at the people around her and laughed, "I'll explain to you later. We didn't even have lunch. We rushed all the way to Donghai Town. Let's get some food for ourselves first!"
Upon hearing that Gu Lili hadn't eaten yet, Zhang Dahua nodded quickly and ran inside to prepare a meal.
Gu Yun Chu welcomed the group into the restaurant, closed the door, and then hurried to the kitchen to help.
Gu Lili found a larger table and had the five of them sit down and rest before eating.
Old Zhou looked around Baiweixuan with curiosity and asked, "Master, is this your restaurant?"
It's not surprising that Gu Lili could buy a manor and own a restaurant in Jiangdu.
Gu Lili nodded, "It's my family's, you're welcome to take a look around. I'll go check out the kitchen and help out."
Upon hearing that Gu Lili was going to help in the kitchen, his three grand-apprentices immediately stood up.
"Honey, you rest, we'll go!"
Gu Lili smiled wryly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable being a housewife.
If they knew they had an eight-year-old brother and a nine-year-old sister.
I wonder if they'll still be able to call these two kids grandpa and grandma then.
"No need, you're not familiar with each other, I'll go!" Gu Lili waved her hand, indicating that the others should sit down and rest.
The group had no choice but to give up and followed Lao Zhou on a tour of the four places.
"Sister Lili, let me help you."
Just as Gu Lili was about to leave, Mu Lian stepped forward and grabbed Gu Lili's hand, wanting to go with her.
After standing at the door for a while and enjoying the breeze, Xiao Mulian's motion sickness had subsided.
After glancing at Yu Yirou, Gu Lili nodded and led Xiao Mulian into the kitchen.
When Gu Yunchu saw Gu Lili come in, she immediately tried to kick Gu Lili out.
"Sister, you've been working so hard for so many days, just relax and wait for your meal."
Although Gu Lili was smiling, Gu Yun Chu could see the weariness on her face.
Gu Lili chuckled and said, "I'm just helping to chop some vegetables, it won't be that tiring."
As Gu Lili spoke, she handed Mu Lian a plate of spicy snails that Gu Yun Chu had just served.
"Mulan, go and bring this dish to the table. Take a rest, we'll be out in a bit."
Little Mulan blushed, nodded sensibly, took the snail, and walked outside.
While helping Zhang Dahua chop vegetables, Gu Lili briefly recounted the events of the past month to Gu Yun Chu.
Gu Yun Chu also recounted the embarrassing story of how Wei Yue and Wei Yin were assassins back then.
Gu Lili laughed so hard that tears almost came out after hearing this.
She was also relieved that she had only given him a tranquilizer gun, and Gu Yun Chu had not caused a major disaster.
Gu Yun Chu, on the other hand, was shocked when he heard that Gu Li Li had taken someone the same age as his maternal grandfather as her apprentice.
"Sister, so you mean I'm a grandfather?" Gu Yun Chu asked.
Gu Lili paused in her chopping, looked up and rolled her eyes at Gu Yun Chu.
"Old Zhou is getting on in years, and his three apprentices are more than ten years older than you. Don't make jokes like that!"
She wouldn't force Lao Zhou and his three apprentices to change their way of speaking.
It's best to call them by their first name; otherwise, it would be too awkward.
Gu Yun Chu stuck out her tongue and quickly handed the plate of food to Zhang Da Hua.
Since everyone was hungry, they didn't make any complicated dishes.
The braised dishes and large intestines at Baiweixuan were delivered by Li Qingshan and Zuo Xiuhong every morning.
Cut it up, heat it up, and you have two dishes.
They stir-fried a plate of crab, cooked a bowl of sauerkraut fish, and stir-fried a few vegetable dishes before serving the food.
Everyone at the table was seated, waiting for the meal to begin.
Everyone except Chang'an was curious when they saw Gu Lili and the others bring out the dishes.
During these past few days of travel, Gu Lili always took them to restaurants for meals.
However, I have never seen dishes like those at Baiweixuan.
Gu Lili had anticipated this, so she taught them how to eat while explaining the process to them.
Old Zhou admired Gu Lili even more.
"Master, you're amazing! How do you know everything?" Old Zhou praised while taking a bite of the fatty intestines.
Gu Yun Chu's face was full of pride.
"My sister knows so many things!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, which made Gu Lili feel embarrassed.
Everyone loves this dish.
Having not eaten familiar dishes for a long time, Gu Lili ate to her heart's content.
Gu Yun Chu served braised pork intestines and braised meat twice before the group was full.
The group burped, their faces full of embarrassment.
It's not that they're greedy; they've simply never eaten such delicious food before.
"Master, I feel like I've wasted these past few decades, I've never tasted anything this delicious!" Old Zhou said with a satisfied look on his face.
His three apprentices nodded in agreement.
Indeed, following Master to Donghai Town was the right decision!
Just as the saying goes, if you follow your master, you'll live a life of luxury!
The food at the Housewife's Restaurant is absolutely delicious!
Yu Yirou chimed in, "Yes, Uncle Zhou and I both feel like we've been eating for nothing all these years!"
After Yu Yirou finished speaking, everyone laughed.
After finishing their meal, Gu Lili led the group to Gu Manor.
"Yun Chu, Da Hua, please be careful on your way back."
Seeing that Gu Yun Chu and Zhang Da Hua nodded in agreement, Gu Li Li loosened the reins and headed towards Gu Village.
Along the way, Gu Lili looked at the rice that had already sprouted ears and felt very comforted.
Judging from the rice's rapid growth, the mud crabs in the paddy fields must have played a role.
When it's time to harvest the rice, Gu Lili will be able to make a profit again.
Xiao Mulan heard from Gu Lili that there was a sea on the way to Gu Village, so she had already lifted the carriage curtain to take a look.
