"Little girl, what do you mean by that? You don’t believe I’m serious, right? Let me tell you, my father has long said he wanted to give me a shop to hone my skills a bit. It’s just that I’ve been too lazy to take it on. I’ll go back today and tell him I want Qinglin Restaurant. You just need to deliver those smoked sausages tomorrow. Oh, and the recipes for the dishes made with the smoked sausages. You don’t need to worry about anything else."
"Alright, let’s settle it that way. Tomorrow, I’ll have my second brother bring over the remaining smoked sausages from home. As for the cooking methods..." Gu Nian thought for a moment and said, "How about we have my eldest brother go back with us today? I’ll teach him the recipe, and he can teach the restaurant’s chef later. How does that sound?"
There weren’t actually many smoked sausages left at home. Gu Nian figured that even if the new dish was introduced, it definitely wouldn’t become an instant hit, so there should be enough to last a few days.
Meanwhile, she would take advantage of these few days to make some more. As for the future, she’d decide based on how they were received at the restaurant.
Smoked sausage and cured sausage were still unknown in this world. People might not immediately accept new things, so she had to be prepared for the worst in every situation.
Even if it really failed, there wouldn’t be any loss, at most just no progress.
Having Dahu return home one day later didn’t seem like a big deal to Zheng Shaochen either.
Leaving Qinglin Restaurant, Dahu was still carrying some food to bring to Nan Jin Yu. Gu Nian walked beside him and asked the question that had been on her mind, "Big brother, why don’t I see any chili peppers in the dishes at Qinglin Restaurant?"
Gu Nian had a heavy taste and always loved spicy food. However, given the current conditions, she couldn’t ask for too much.
But it was quite strange that the restaurant’s dishes didn’t even use chili peppers as a seasoning.
"Chili peppers?" Dahu was a bit confused, "What’s that?"
Gu Nian furrowed her brows even tighter. He actually didn’t know what chili peppers were!
"Then how do you get the spicy flavor in your dishes when you cook?" Gu Nian asked.
"It’s obviously with pepper powder," Dahu replied, still very curious. He continued to ask, "Little sister, what’s that chili pepper you mentioned? Is it something to eat?"
Gu Nian shook her head, then smiled, "I was just asking casually."
With that, Gu Nian skipped forward, catching up to Mrs. Jiang, and stretched out her small hand to hold her big hand, while Dahu carried the items over to Erhu’s stall to help out.
Inside the fabric shop, Mrs. Jiang bought a large bag of cotton, gritted her teeth, and bought a set of ready-made clothes and bedding.
Gu Nian looked and asked her, "Mom, are these clothes also for Pandi?"
"Yes, after all, she’s getting married. Wearing a new set of clothes to someone else’s house looks respectable, doesn’t it?" Mrs. Jiang replied casually.
Gu Nian pointed to a set of red clothes hanging on the other side and said, "Pandi is getting married, and since you’re going to buy her clothes anyway, why not get this red set? It can serve as her wedding dress." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ nοvelfire.net
With Gu Nian’s suggestion, the shop assistant quickly came over to introduce, saying that if one is getting married, they must wear a red wedding dress.
Mrs. Jiang pulled her over and spoke with an unmistakable tone, "Just what we picked earlier, we’re not buying red."
After paying the silver and leaving the fabric store, Mrs. Jiang said, "You little girl, you don’t understand. That red clothing is expensive. There’s actually no need for us to get involved in this. Giving her a quilt and a piece of clothing is already kind. How can we just focus on buying the best for her?"
