Lin Xiyao, who was resting in Gu Lili's room, came out because of the fragrance.
Looking at Lin Xiyao's gluttonous expression, Gu Lili smiled indulgently, "This is nothing yet! It will smell even better when I've finished cooking!"
Lin Xiyao nodded hurriedly; she truly believed Gu Lili's words.
Gu Lili finished cooking the vegetables, and the workers returned.
Although Grandma Li and Li Tiansheng were not home today, Lord Lin and Lin Xiyao were there, so Gu Lili still ate at two separate tables.
Gu Lili sat at a table with Lord Lin and Lin Xiyao, while Lord Lin's entourage sat at a table with Chang'an and the others.
"Lili, the way you stir-fry it makes it taste so different! It's really delicious! You have to teach me how to make it so I can make it for my mother when we get back!" Lin Xiyao praised as she ate.
This crab is fragrant and spicy, and even the side dishes inside are infused with the crab's fresh aroma, making it simply irresistible.
Gu Lili nodded as she ate, saying, "This is no small matter. However, you probably won't be able to easily bring these crabs to the capital."
Donghai Town is too far from the capital, and people rely on carriages and horses for transportation. Obviously, it is impossible to transport this delicacy to the capital.
but......
Gu Lili thought of waterways. Perhaps one day, Gu Village would have its own port, which would allow these delicacies to be quickly transported to other places by water.
Lin Xiyao felt regretful after hearing what Gu Lili said.
Lord Lin watched as Lin Xiyao pouted and took a bite of crab, saying, "Sigh, wouldn't it be better to bring your mother here sometime? That way she can eat some too."
Crabs can't get across, but people can, right?
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyao clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Father is right! I'll write to Mother tonight and ask her to come!"
Father is so clever! Donghai Town is so beautiful, and Lili is so lovely. Mother will definitely love this place.
Lord Lin nodded, agreeing with Lin Xiyao's words.
I haven't seen my wife in a long time, and I really miss her terribly.
Most importantly, there are so many delicious foods in Donghai Town, and I can't share them with my wife. I always feel a little guilty whenever I eat them.
Gu Lili looked at the father and daughter with a smile. If Gu Shan and Li Xihua were alive, perhaps the four of them would be as innocent and carefree as Lin Xiyao.
However, the premise is that Gu Jingsheng's family must die.
“Lord Lin, you don’t actually need to plant the sweet potatoes yourself. You can just stand by and observe.” Gu Lili chatted with Lord Lin while eating.
Lord Lin only needs to observe how others plant and then record it.
Growing the crops yourself would be too tiring.
Lord Lin smiled and shook his head, saying, "By planting it yourself, you'll know better what to do. When you watch others, you can't see things clearly, like how many inches to insert the plant and which direction to insert it. You have to remember these things."
It was planted by Lord Lin himself, and he made a special mark on it.
The plants were initially grown in a room with charcoal burning, so there are no records available for reference.
This time, he made special marks on the plants, recording the planting depth, direction, and even the time clearly.
Once the sweet potatoes were planted, he would go to the field every day to observe their growth and record it.
When it's sweet potato harvest season, it's good to compare which method yields more sweet potatoes.
Gu Lili nodded, indicating her understanding.
Isn't this precisely the purpose for which the Emperor sent Lord Lin?
"Lord Lin, if you encounter any difficulties, perhaps I can help you," Gu Lili said.
Gu Lili is quite outstanding. As for the sweet potato, Lord Lin only needs to ask any villager to find out that it was only discovered this year.
If Gu Lili really knew everything, she might have been arrested and put into research.
This is why Gu Lili is always so careful when doing things.
Gu Lili knew very well that people in this era were simply backward, not unintelligent.
It is essential to conceal one's shortcomings.
Therefore, when Gu Lili talked about the planting method, she was referring to what Gu Shan had told her.
Anyway, Gu Shan sacrificed his life for the country, and there's no way to verify it now.
Lord Lin nodded repeatedly after hearing Gu Lili's words, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Princess."
After finishing his meal, Lord Lin took Lin Xiyao back to Donghai Town.
The house the imperial court built for him is estimated to take another three to five days to complete.
During this time, Gu Lili made an agreement with Lord Lin that he would have meals at her house.
Not long after Lord Lin left, Gu Yun Chu and the others returned in their oxcart.
You're back so early, the restaurant must be doing good business.
Tie Dan's mother and Aunt Da Zhu said goodbye to Gu Lili and headed home.
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Yun Chu got off the carriage, she walked towards Gu Li Li with a smile.
"Sister, we'll probably need to add more dishes tomorrow, there's not enough for today!" Gu Yun Chu said cheerfully.
Who wouldn't be happy if they could make money?
Gu Lili slapped her thigh, realizing she had completely forgotten about it.
When she was at the restaurant, if she noticed that the dishes were running low, she would secretly buy more from her spatial storage and add them back in.
However, since I didn't go today, I forgot to remind Gu Yun Chu to ask the vegetable vendors to send more vegetables.
No wonder Gu Yun Chu came back so early today.
Gu Lili nodded and said, "Okay, then have the vegetable vendor deliver more tomorrow. Oh, and also, put this paper on the door tomorrow."
As Gu Lili spoke, she took out the paper she had prepared and handed it to Gu Yun Chu.
At this moment, Zhang Dahua, Gu Huanhuan, and Zheng Yue also walked over here.
Gu Yun Chu opened the paper, which clearly stated that Baiweixuan would be closed for one day the day after tomorrow.
"Sister, why do you suddenly need to rest? Did something happen?" Gu Yun Chu became anxious the moment she saw that she needed to rest.
Taking a day off would mean losing several dozen taels of silver.
Gu Lili looked at Gu Yun Chu with satisfaction; it seemed that this guy had learned a few more words recently.
Zhang Dahua was also a little anxious. She didn't want to rest either, so she came over to hear what Gu Lili had to say.
Gu Lili smiled slyly as she looked at the anxious expressions on their faces.
"My younger brother is getting engaged to the eldest daughter of the Zhang family the day after tomorrow. Do you think I should close Baiweixuan for a day?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dahua's face instantly turned bright red.
Gu Yun Chu nodded hurriedly, blushing as she said, "Sister, that's absolutely right!"
Now that Uncle Zhang's leg has healed, it's time to arrange an engagement for the two of them.
In the countryside, engagements usually involve exchanging tokens and birth dates privately, without the need for a banquet.
Unlike people in town, they don't invite relatives and friends to witness their engagements.
Now that Gu Lili's family owns their own restaurant, all of this is a natural progression.
