After the halo of the heroine was taken away, I was reborn

While Guo Kun was eating, Gu Jinyao told her that she was going to the city to make rice krispie treats at the end of the month.

She will be busy for a couple of days and doesn't know if there will be any seats here at that time. If so, she can make preparations in advance.

Guo Kun nodded in agreement.

At this time, Lei Laoer and Guo Baogen came over.

Guo Kun had just finished breakfast, and Guo Baogen diligently helped the master wash the dishes and pots.

Yesterday, Gu Jinyao had prepared everything needed for the banquet. Today, Guo Kun would just put in the menu and wait to attract business.

Rural people not only have rules when hosting banquets, but also pay attention to them.

Having more money or less is one thing, but the most important thing is not to lose the face of the host.

Guo Kun already had an idea and quickly wrote three lists.

He also gave the three lists nice names, namely: Wealth Banquet, Lotus Banquet and Auspicious Banquet.

The Wealth Banquet is naturally the best menu. In addition to the six cold plates, three steamed, nine-and-eight bowls, a large plate of squirrel fish, and a whole chicken with soy sauce in a clay vat.

Wagon soy sauce chicken is not a specialty here, but Guo Kun said that he is good at this dish. If someone really wants to make a rich banquet, he will promote this dish.

In this day and age, there are probably not many small places in these villages and towns that can afford to treat rich people to banquets.

But regardless of whether he has it or not, the preparation work needs to be done, lest people ask you when the time comes and you can't take it out, which will cause you to fall down the grade.

The menu for the Furong Banquet was missing squirrel fish and crock pot chicken, and the cold dishes and eight bowls were also reduced.

This is a good list and can be afforded by families with affluent finances.

The Auspicious Banquet made some cuts, retaining the main dishes in the eight bowls, and the cold dishes only included the common vermicelli, dried bean sprouts and pig ears, and then added some stir-fried and stewed dishes.

While Guo Kun was writing, he told his three apprentices about local customs and local specialties.

It was the first time for Gu Jinyao and his two senior brothers to hear these things. The three of them regarded it as strange and enjoyed it with gusto.

The menu is laid out and the preliminary work for hosting the banquet is almost ready.

He asked his three apprentices to do more publicity outside, and it would be up to him whether they would have any work to do.

"By the way, the Lu family has already called me for their bride-to-be on the 18th. It's the first time for you to make time for the wedding. I'll explain it at the same time, so you don't have to say it twice."

The Lu family on the 18th?

Isn't that a happy event for Lu Zhen and Gu Liuying?

At that time, the Lu and Gu families had decided on a wedding date, so Liu Xiaoli released the date and asked everyone to go to her house for a banquet.

Gu Jinyao originally didn't plan to go, so she just gave away two pillowcases. It happened to be Sunday, so she wanted Ji Shaobei and Grandpa to go there to show off. How could she know that she wanted to hide but couldn't, so this time she directly

He ran to the Lu family.

"Xiao Gu, what's the problem?"

Guo Kun saw Gu Jinyao was stunned and asked her.

Gu Jinyao shook his head, "It's nothing. Master, it's your first time out in the mountains. Don't worry, I will definitely follow you and make the banquet beautiful."

If you can't avoid it, go ahead. Actually, it doesn't matter.

I didn't plan to go at the beginning because I didn't want to disturb others' eyes, save myself from having a happy event, and it would also make me look bad.

Now, she was going to be a cook, not attending a wedding, so it would be fine if she didn't come forward.

There was still a week before the 18th, and Guo Kun told Gu Jinyao not to come in the next few days if nothing happened. If he received a job then, he would have someone go over and notify him.

Gu Jinyao went back first and asked someone to set up the stove to prepare her big yellow rice.

In the afternoon of the same day, the ordered steamer arrived, and the boss who had long-term cooperation also sent 500 kilograms of rhubarb rice to Gu Jinyao. Others will be delivered gradually this week.

When the rice arrived, the next day Gu Jinyao called the people he had agreed to come over to help and deal with the five hundred kilograms first.

Steaming rice, drying it, and pressing it are all simple tasks that everyone can do without having to teach them.

There was not enough space, so the dustpans were placed outside, and they were borrowed from the courtyards of the Wu family and the Zhao family to put them in the sun.

The big yellow rice was prepared in an orderly manner. On the day of the market, Xiang Wenfeng came over and discussed the wrapping paper with Gu Jinyao.

The last time he received an order, Zhao Xiaogang went to Yuanbao Town to discuss the matter.

Xiang Wenfeng was also very happy. The manufacturer that made the wrapping paper for them had something to do with the Xiang family. She wanted the wrapping paper to be ready and sent directly to the city instead of taking it here, so as to avoid having to move it when it was available.

Of course that was good, so Gu Jinyao wrote down the address of the courtyard that had been negotiated in the city and gave it to Xiang Wenfeng to handle. She would pay the deposit first and the balance would be settled when the time came.

Xiang Wenfeng had lunch here before leaving. Before leaving, he told Gu Jinyao that Song Guangguang had stopped working at the supply and marketing cooperative and was now managing the store with her.

"I'm too busy here. He's here all day long. It's not a problem for him to occupy the work station over there. Why don't you just come over and work with me."

Since Gu Jinyao's side has increased the amount of sugar used, Xiang Wenfeng has hired someone to get the sugar for rice krispie treats from the city.

Supplies are kept loosely in the city. Find a sugar factory to provide you with a license. There are no tickets and no limit on these things.

It's just that the distance is far, and few people in the village even go to town, let alone go to the city to buy things.

Song Guangguang's willingness to leave his iron job proves that he is open-minded and has ideas, which is of course a good thing.

In the blink of an eye, it’s Saturday again.

He didn't go to the market that day, so in the morning Gu Jinyao marinated half a fan of pork he bought at home, preparing to make bacon and sausages for the New Year.

In the afternoon, she washed two pieces of dried kelp early, mixed it with pig's trotters and stewed it in a pot, and then prepared to go to town.

Tomorrow the Lu family will marry their wives, and the Gu family will marry their daughters. The feast for both men and women will begin tonight.

It's just that tonight we are greeting relatives who have come from afar, and the main dinner will be tomorrow.

In the morning, Liu Xiaoli made a special trip to ask Gu Jinyao and Gu Ping to come over for dinner in the evening. Her face with a smile like a flower was just a show off in Gu Jinyao's eyes.

Gu Jinyao didn't bother to pay attention to her, and she didn't mention going to the Lu family to work as a cook.

Gu Ping must go. There are so many relatives here. It would be rude for him not to go.

After arranging things at home, Gu Jinyao rolled out her foreign car and was about to leave. The postman from the town came in and brought her a telegram.

The telegram was sent by Ji Shaobei. It only had eight words on it, which was very simple.

"I have something to do at work, so I'll be home late, so don't think about it."

The man means that he will not come back today.

Gu Jinyao felt disappointed in his heart.

It is common for me to work overtime and change shifts at the end of the year, but I just miss him.

If Ji Shaobei doesn't come back, Gu Jinyao will find a place to sleep there tonight after he goes to town. There will only be three children and Ji Lan left in the family.

Gu Jinyao became a little worried when he thought that the Lu family still had thoughts about Ji Lan.

She gave Ji Lan a few words and then went to tell Zhang Taohong that she would come over to sleep tonight and someone would take care of her.

Gu Jinyao left quickly and first went to Guojiacun to meet Guo Kun and his two senior brothers.

When she arrived, the person who came to pull things from the Lu family was already there. By coincidence, it was Lu Zhen.
