Chapter 103 Menu

When Guo Kun was eating, Gu Jinyao told her that she was going to the city at the end of the month to make rice cracker candies.

At that time, she will be busy for a few days. I don't know if there will be any seats here at that time. If there is, she can make preparations earlier.

Guo Kun nodded in response.

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

Just as Guo Kun finished his breakfast, Guo Baogen graciously helped the master wash the dishes and pots.

Yesterday, Gu Jinyao had already prepared the things needed for the banquet, and today Guo Kun put up the menu, and then he just waited to solicit business.

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

More money and less money is one thing, the most important thing is not to lose face of the host family.

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

He also gave the three lists nice names, namely: Wealthy Banquet, Furong Banquet and Auspicious Banquet.

Fugui Banquet is naturally the best menu, in addition to the six cold dishes that are often seen at banquets, three steamed nine buckles and eight bowls, there is also a large plate of squirrel fish, and a whole chicken in soy sauce in a crock pot.

Soy Sauce Chicken is not a dish 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 may not be any people in small villages and towns who can afford a rich banquet.

But regardless of whether he has it or not, preparations must be done, lest people ask you that you can't get it out, and you will lose your grade.

The list of Furong Banquet is missing squirrel fish and crock pot chicken, cold dishes and eight big bowls have also shrunk.

This list is not bad, those families who are financially well-off can afford it.

The auspicious banquet made some cuts. The main dishes in the eight bowls were kept, and the cold dishes were only the common vermicelli, dried beans, bean sprouts and pig ears, and then added some stir-fried and stewed dishes.

While writing, Guo Kun told the three apprentices about the customs and local specialties.

It was the first time for Gu Jinyao and the two senior brothers to hear these things, so the three of them took it as something strange and enjoyed it.

Once the menu is listed, the preparatory work for the banquet is almost ready.

He asked the three apprentices to do more publicity outside, and it will have to wait and see if there is any work.

"By the way, No. 18 Lu's family has already called me to marry a daughter-in-law. For the first banquet, you all have time to spare. I will talk about it as I go, so I don't have to say it twice."

NO.18 Lu family?
Isn't that the happy event between Lu Zhen and Gu Liuying.

At that time, Lu and Gu's family had set a wedding date, so Liu Xiaoli released the day and asked everyone to go to her house for dinner.

Gu Jinyao didn't plan to go at first, so she just gave away two pillowcases at that time. It happened to be Sunday, and she wanted Ji Shaobei and Grandpa to go there to pretend, but she wanted to hide but couldn't. I ran to Lu's house.

"Little Gu, what's the problem?"

Seeing that Gu Jinyao was startled, Guo Kun asked her.

Gu Jinyao shook his head, "It's nothing. Master, it's your first time going out of the mountain, don't worry, I will definitely follow suit, and the banquet will be beautiful."

Just go if you can't avoid it, in fact, it's nothing.

I didn't plan to go at the beginning because I didn't want to hinder people's eyes, so as not to have a happy event, and I didn't have a good face.

Now, she's going to be a cook, not to attend a wedding, so it's fine if she doesn't come forward.

There is still one week before NO.18. Guo Kun asked Gu Jinyao to stop using it for the next few days if he is fine. If he receives a job then, he will send someone to notify him.

In this way, Gu Jinyao went back first, and asked someone to build a stove for her big yellow rice.

That afternoon, the ordered steamer arrived, and the long-term boss also sent Gu Jinyao [-] catties of rhubarb rice, and the rest will be delivered within this week.

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

Steaming rice, drying, and pressing rice flowers are all simple tasks, and everyone knows them without teaching.

It's just that there is not enough space, so the dustpans are placed outside, and the courtyards of Wu's and Zhao's are borrowed to dry them.

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

The last time Zhao Xiaogang received an order, he went to Yuanbao Town to tell him about it.

Xiang Wenfeng was also very happy. The manufacturer who helped them make the wrapping paper had something to do with the Xiang family, so she wanted the wrapping paper to be ready and sent directly to the city, so she wouldn't take it here, and would have to move it when she could.

This is of course good, Gu Jinyao wrote down the address of the yard negotiated in the city, and handed it to Xiang Wenfeng to deal with, she will pay the deposit first, and the balance will be settled when the time comes.

Xiang Wenfeng only opened here after having lunch. Before leaving, she told Gu Jinyao that Song Shiguang didn't work in the supply and marketing cooperative, and now follows her to take care of the store.

"I'm too busy here. He's here all day long, so it's not a problem to occupy the seat over there. Why don't you just come over and do it with me."

Since Gu Jinyao has increased the amount of sugar used here, the sugar used to make rice cracker candies is all brought back from the city by Xiang Wenfeng.

The materials in the city are relaxed, and the sugar factory is found to provide licenses. These things do not require tickets and are not limited.

It's just that the distance is long, and there are few people in the village who even go to town, and it's impossible to go to the city to buy things.

Song Shiguang's willingness to leave his job as an official 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.

There is no market this day, so in the morning Gu Jinyao marinated half a piece of pork he bought at home, preparing to make bacon and sausages for the Chinese New Year.

In the afternoon, she washed two sheets of dried kelp early, mixed them with pig's trotters and stewed them in a pot, and then she was ready to go to town.

Tomorrow the Lu family will marry a daughter-in-law, and the Gu family will marry a daughter. The feast for both men and women will begin tonight.

It's just that to greet relatives who came from afar tonight, tomorrow will be the banquet.

In the morning, Liu Xiaoli even made a special trip to ask Gu Jinyao and Gu Ping to have dinner in the evening, her smiling face like a flower, in Gu Jinyao's eyes, is definitely showing off.

Gu Jinyao didn't bother to talk to her, and she didn't mention the matter of going to Lu's house to be a cook.

Gu Ping must be going, there are so many relatives here, it would be rude for him not to go.

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

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

"I have something to do in the unit, come back late, don't read it."

The man means that he will not come back today.

Gu Jinyao felt a sense of loss in her heart.

It is common 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 after going to town tonight. There are only three dolls and Ji Lan left in this family.

Thinking that the Lu family still had thoughts about Ji Lan, Gu Jinyao became a little worried.

She told Ji Lan a few words, and then went to talk to Zhang Taohong, let her come to sleep tonight, there are several people to take care of her.

Gu Jinyao left quickly, and first went to Guojia Village to join Guo Kun and two senior brothers.

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