Chapter 200 Isn’t he only able to cook one dish (1)
"If you dare to say it again, I will burn all your obscene pants, what else do you wear?" Gu Xiaobei stared.

The two bought some New Year's goods while bickering, and went back to the village after telling everyone in the restaurant.

In the following time, apart from Gu Xiaobei occasionally going into the city to see the progress of the construction of the second restaurant, Gu Datian and Gu Changjue were busy at home celebrating the Spring Festival.

During the Spring Festival in previous years, the brothers and sisters had no money to buy anything, and they didn’t even want to kill a chicken. They only bought a piece of pork for the New Year. The pork was bought because they had to bring some meat to worship the ancestors and gods. , otherwise they would be reluctant to buy it, so their life is very simple.But this year when we have money, the whole family is very happy, and they all want to celebrate the Spring Festival with vigor and vitality, so a lot of preparation time has been spent.

In addition to these two things, Gu Xiaobei was busy with these two things, and the other thing was to wash clothes for Bai Qingli every day. Although it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, Gu Xiaobei didn't think it was too hard to wash these clothes, because Gu Datian was very free recently, and went up the mountain to chop After bringing back a lot of firewood, there was enough firewood, and every time Gu Xiaobei washed clothes, Gu Datian would boil a lot of hot water for her, so Ben was not afraid of getting his hands frozen.

Shagu's health also improved, and she helped Bai Qiaoer with the New Year's affairs.Ten days before the Spring Festival, Bai Qingli also gave the children a holiday, and Master Mo returned to his home.

During this period of time, Gu Datian and Gu Changjue had helped Ling Muchen and his son renovate the old yard. On the eve of the new year, when everyone else was cleaning the house and sending it to the kitchen, Ling Muchen and his son finally moved out of the Bai family's compound and lived in the old courtyard. After entering the old courtyard of Gu Xiaobei's family, they began to cook and eat by themselves, and officially became a member of Nanmen Village.

On New Year's Eve, the courtyard of Gu Xiaobei's house was newly built, so she didn't clean it much. She woke up early in the morning with Gu Datian and went to Bai's house to help Ling Muchen's mother, Liao, move. All the sisters from the Mu family came to help. Ling Muchen hadn't been here for a long time and didn't have much. After a while, everyone helped her move.

"Thank you very much. Although there are not many things, if I moved alone, it would probably take a day. You came to move me, and the move was finished so quickly." Liao looked at the crowd gratefully and said.

"It's okay, Mu Chen is very busy in the restaurant and can't come to help you move, so we will naturally come to help you. After all, he didn't come back to help you because of the restaurant. You can treat it as us helping you move. You'll be fine, don't be so polite." Gu Datian said with a smile.

"Auntie, you are too polite. We are all from the same village. We should help each other." Mu Caixia said with a smile.

"We are new here, and we don't know the people in the village very well. Thanks to you, otherwise I would have a sore back and back pain from moving today." Liao said a little embarrassedly.

She used to live in the city all the time, most of the people in the city were rich and well-off, and they didn't have much contact with each other, but later they lived in small alleys when they fell down, and others never looked at them when they saw them down, let alone Say deep friendship.So she was not used to living in the village all of a sudden. During this period of time, she always stayed in the Bai family's yard, helping the Bai family with small jobs, and then she was busy with her own housework, and rarely went out at all. The people in the village are not very familiar. Today, many people don't know that they are going to move, so they don't come to help.Fortunately, there are not many things, and it is almost enough to have Gu Xiaobei and a few people to help.

"It's okay, auntie, you will often go out and chat with your neighbors in the future, and you will be able to get acquainted with the big guys soon." Mu Wenhong said with a smile.

"That's right. When our family first came here, I was not used to it. Now I'm hanging out with Wen Hong and the other girls. I think Liao has a good needlework. I just need to communicate more with others. I'm afraid everyone will run to your house every day, begging you to teach them, won't they all be familiar with each other by then?" Bai Qiaoer also helped Liao Shi.

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Today, Aunt Liao, you just moved into the yard. Although it is not a new yard, it is also a festive event. Although we don't have a lot of banquets, we can still hold small banquets. Today I I will cook by myself and cook a few tables of delicious food for you. We won’t invite those elders anymore, just invite the daughters-in-law and girls in the village. Aunt Liao, you and Wenhong will invite them. Anyone who wants to come is welcome. Come on, we won’t force you to come if you don’t want to, and we won’t accept gifts from them anyway, and treat them to free food.” Gu Xiaobei smiled and said, “I promise, after today, Aunt Liao will be familiar with everyone. .”

"Good idea. When we lived in the city, we couldn't go out often, and we hardly knew anyone. But after being invited to other people's banquets, we met people, made more friends, and didn't feel lonely anymore. , I can also invite a few friends over to play from time to time, very happy." Bai Qiaoer said with a smile.

"Okay, that's the deal." Liao also agreed happily.

So everyone divided the work, Mu Wenhong and Bai Qiaoer took Liao Shi to invite the wives in the village in person. When they went, Gu Xiaobei specially brought some candies from home to Liao Shi, and asked them to go to other people's houses to meet Xiao The children hand out some candies.Others stayed at Liao's house to help buy some food and wine.

Seeing that they were very busy, Gu Datian and Bai Qingli also went home and brought a lot of vegetables to Liao Shi and the others.

"Why are you standing here? We won't prepare the banquet for you guys today. If you want to eat, you have to go back to your own home." Gu Xiaobei saw her elder brother leave, and Bai Qingli was still sitting in front of her with a smile on her face. Watching them busy, Gu Xiaobei couldn't bear to see them, so he ruthlessly bit him away.

After Bai Qingli was blasted away by Gu Xiaobei, Gu Xiaobei started to stir-fry vegetables, and Sha Gu and Mu Caixia brought two maids to help.After a while, several village women came to Liao's house one after another, and they helped out as soon as they entered the door. Gu Xiaobei knew without thinking that these people must have been offered to help after Liao's invitation, so she did not refuse Well, anyway, these village women often work, and they are quick at work, and they can prepare a table of dishes in a short time.

By the time Liao Shi, Mu Wenhong, and Bai Qiaoer came back after inviting the women in the village, the dishes were already half cooked, and everyone was busy for another half an hour. A total of five tables of dishes were finished, and the women in the village also started cooking one after another. Come, most of the village women in the village have come, only a very few people did not come.

"The yard is too small for five tables, what should I do?" After all the dishes were fried, everyone began to help set the tables and start eating. Only then did they realize that the yard was too small for five tables, and everyone immediately panicked. Embarrassed.

"Why don't you go into the room and set up two tables." Liao said hurriedly.
