Since then, Gu Xianting has never forgotten Mr. Li, who had a three-way connection and saved his life.
At this time, following her was the maid Xiu'er.
As the wealthy daughter of Gu Xianting, she should not appear in the streets as easily as these ladies. It was Xiuer who saw Gu Xianting looking very melancholy and unhappy, so she suggested to go out for a walk.
Gu Xianting originally refused, but when Xiu'er said she was going to the Seven Lanes and Nine Lanes, she became a little tempted. There are many stories between the Seven Lanes and Nine Lanes and Wang Wushuang, and she has always admired Wang Wushuang, and she has been in Suzhou for more than two months.
If you don’t visit Wang Wushuang, it would be nice to see things and things related to Wang Wushuang.
Gu Xianting came to Suzhou for two purposes. One was to celebrate the birthday of the head of the Gu family in Wuzhong, and the other was to meet Wang Wushuang. After completing these two things, he would return to Huizhou, but he never had the chance to see Wang Wushuang.
.
There is another thing that she has been thinking about, which is waiting for Mr. Li from Wuxi County to come to her. She has been waiting for more than two months. She made it very clear in her letter, but she doesn't know.
Did Mr. Li not receive the letter, was still unwilling to see her, or had something unexpected happened...
This is the reason why Gu Xianting is melancholy and unhappy.
In the past two months, Gu Xianting has not been idle. It is too painful to miss someone. Gu Xianting has focused her energy on the kitchen. In addition to making the pastries and snacks she is good at for people around her to taste, she also makes other snacks based on the style of Suzhou snacks.
She created a few original snacks to show off her talent in cooking.
Entering the kitchen was originally a job for servants, but when it came to Gu Xianting, it became a matter full of art, because she raised the category of cooking skills to a special level, and the use of cooking skills can also be elegant.
Things can also be full of cultural connotations.
Gu Wanru, the current head of the Gu family in Wuzhong, has been inseparable from Gu Xianting ever since he ate Gu Xianting's food. Gu Xianting has no plans to leave Suzhou for the time being, just in line with his wishes. In just two months, he has become very fond of Gu Xianting. If Gu Xianting is not from the same clan, the Gu family cannot form a relationship.
In-laws, Gu Xianting is already his designated grandson-in-law.
Gu Wanru's eldest son, Gu Chong, was then the Minister of Rites and lived in Chang'an. The couple came to Suzhou to celebrate Gu Wanru's birthday. After the birthday banquet, they should have returned to Chang'an immediately, but the couple stayed for two more days for Gu Xianting. Before leaving,
Gu Chong's wife, Gu Zheng, reluctantly held Gu Xianting's hand and told her to visit Chang'an when she had time.
Gu Xianting made the women of the Gu family understand one thing. It turns out that good cooking can also tie a man's heart and make him miss you, and it can be enjoyed by both young and old.
Gu Cui, the wife of Gu Wanru's second son Gu Mou, lived in Suzhou and was very close to Gu Xianting. In addition to being able to taste the delicious food, she also took the initiative to learn cooking skills from Gu Xianting. Gu Xianting changed Gu Cui's understanding of cooking.
Well, it can also outshine the talented Xianwan.
A very realistic thing is before us. It has been almost more than ten years since Cui married into the Gu family. Gu Wanru has always been unfavorable to her, the second daughter-in-law. If it weren't for the fact that she was Cui's daughter, it would have been Gu Wanru's attitude.
, in the Gu Mansion, I was afraid of being ignored and bullied, but Gu Xianting had only been in Suzhou for two months, and the old man was very fond of Gu Xianting.
Once, Mrs. Lu, the wife of the governor, came to the Gu Mansion as a guest. Gu Cui specially brought Gu Xianting's cakes to entertain her. Mrs. Lu was naturally full of delicacies, and she was still unsatisfied after eating the cakes. Later, Mrs. Lu followed Gu Xianting to learn cooking skills.
, and later introduced new noble ladies to participate, and even brought their own daughters to study.
Probably having tasted the benefits and realized the importance of cooking skills to a woman, this group of noble ladies has grown larger and larger in a short period of time. They simply took advantage of the trend and established a boudoir cooking society headed by Gu Xianting.
, to facilitate gathering and communication.
When men see them, it is rare for them to have some entertainment and stop pestering and accompanying them. Why not do it? Naturally, they will support them strongly behind their backs.
For some unknown reason, these noble ladies actually encouraged Gu Xianting to open a restaurant. Gu Xianting had no such plan and politely refused. These noble ladies simply bought the prestigious Wanghe Tower next to Xumen.
The name of Wanghe Tower is not grand, but its scale is quite large. It covers an area of almost ten acres with the garden behind it.
The business is booming, so the owner behind Wanghe Tower is naturally not very happy, but the people who want to buy the deal are the most powerful ladies in Suzhou City. Not to mention a group, just one of them will make him unable to eat. These ladies are
Behind him are all the connections of distinguished people in Suzhou City. If he offends them all, he will no longer be able to live in Suzhou City. The owner of Wanghe Tower has no choice but to part ways.
Although the money was paid by these ladies, they regarded Gu Xianting as their big boss. This restaurant was originally opened for Gu Xianting. Of course, Gu Xianting was not short of money. The Gu family in Huizhou was the richest man in Huizhou, so there was no shortage of money.
Naturally, these noble ladies do not open restaurants to make money. They probably regard Wanghe Tower as a place for recreation and gathering.
Xiu'er suddenly said: "Miss, Mrs. Gu and the others have taken over Wanghe Tower. You are the big boss."
Gu Xianting smiled and didn't answer. As she walked, her mood improved a lot. It felt good to be able to walk freely on the street, but this was a luxury in Huizhou. She was too famous in Huizhou.
Xiu'er added: "That day, Mrs. Gu and the others suddenly had a whim and cooked an Hui dish by themselves. One of them, Shi Nansheng, ate it and started yelling in the hall on the spot."
Gu Xian smiled and said: "They are all veteran chefs who have been in their ten or twenty years. How can we compare with someone who has learned cooking skills for just a few days?"
Xiu'er added: "Since this time, Wanghelou's business has plummeted, and now it's completely empty."
Gu Xianting didn't answer, looking at the scenery along the way.
Xiu'er said to herself: "Mrs. Gu and the others said, it doesn't matter whether there is no business or not, it doesn't matter whether you make money or not. The main thing is disappointment and loss, and it also ruined your reputation."
Gu Xianting asked: "Xiu'er, it was Mrs. Gu and others who asked you to be a lobbyist, right?"
Xiu'er coaxed: "Miss, Mrs. Gu and the others love you so much, so just go with their wishes."
Gu Xianting has a quality that makes people love her involuntarily. These ladies all wish to love Gu Xianting as their own women. Gu Xianting is loved by all, and some of them have secretly designated Gu Xianting as their daughter-in-law.
Gu Xianting said softly: "I am obsessed with cooking, and my father often blames me. Miss Qianjin should not dance like this. Mrs. Gu and the others are all noble ladies. If it is okay to treat it as a hobby and pastime, it would be too much to open a restaurant.
It's ridiculous, and it's even more unreasonable to cook for others. If outsiders know, where do Grandpa Gu and Uncle Gu put their face? If my father knows, he will definitely blame me for encouraging others to do ridiculous things.
."
