Chapter 144 Secret Joy

 Coming out of the restaurant, Gu Zhang and Gu Qing looked at each other, their faces full of joy.

The four of them got on the carriage, Gu Qing drove the carriage, and Gu Zhang, Gu Fei and Lian'er sat in the carriage.

Gu Zhang was so excited that he rubbed his hands and said repeatedly: "My daughter is really capable. She just made a few dishes and got a yard and twenty acres of land!"

 Gu Fei smiled, there was nothing unusual about cooking. The key is that chili pepper is a new thing, and the recipe is just an instruction manual for chili pepper.

“Dad, I need to trouble you to copy out the recipe in the next few days.”

Gu Zhang nodded repeatedly, "It should, it should." He stretched out his head, "By the way, Dalang, see if there is a literary shop on the street and buy some better paper."

Gu Qing quickly found a shop selling paper and pens on the street, sold a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, and then returned to Zhuangzi.

The carriage rushed in, and several people got out of the car. Liu Zhuangtou came out and asked with a smile: "Second Master Gu is full of joy, has the land been bought?"

With a smile on his face, Gu Zhang said vaguely: "It may be possible, but we have to wait a few days to see."

Liu Zhuangtou nodded and went about his business. He would just listen to Gu Zhang's words. The land around Ping'an City was in hot demand. He didn't believe that Young Master Zhu would be willing to give some to Gu Zhang.

Ms. Chen was cooking in the front yard when she heard the sound and ran out, "You're back now? The rice is ready. Hurry up and eat."

 The old lady was there during the meal, and Gu Zhang and Gu Qing kept silent.

After the old lady got up and went back to her room, Gu Qing beamed with joy and said in a low voice: "Mom, you don't know, but just now I made an agreement with someone to teach them how to cook with chili peppers, and they gave us some Twenty acres of land and a yard are worth almost three hundred taels of silver."

Ms. Chen was so shocked that she dropped the chopsticks in her hand, "Really, just cooking a few dishes?"

Gu Qing shook his head, "There are more than a few, the girl said there are twenty or thirty dishes."

“It’s not worth so much, isn’t it? I just want to cook a few dishes?” Mrs. Chen picked up the chopsticks on the table, still unable to believe that such a big pie fell from the sky.

 Gu Fei was eating, "Mom, this little money is nothing. In those high-end restaurants, they can sell any dish for one and a half taels. This little money can be returned in a few days."

Li Chunhua suddenly said from the side: "Sister, why don't you open your own restaurant? Your cooking is so delicious."

Gu Fei shook his head, "It costs a lot to open a restaurant, and you also need to have some connections. Besides, the dishes I know are all home-cooked dishes. They are not actually suitable for the table, but they are just fresh."

“A real chef needs to practice knife skills for many years, so that doesn’t matter to me.”

Over the next few days, the whole family suppressed their secret joy and peeled the pepper seeds together with the door closed. Everyone’s hands were swollen from the heat, and finally all the pepper seeds were peeled out.

 Gu Fei saw that the peppers would not sell well after peeling the seeds, so he asked Lian'er to cut them into minced peppers.

 Gu Fei wrote the recipe first, modified some contents such as what and how many grams, and then gave it to Gu Zhang to copy.

This morning, the father and son had breakfast and went into the city with chili peppers.

The door of Yipin Pavilion was open, and just after a few people entered, the shopkeeper came to greet them, "Second Master Gu is indeed here. My eldest son told me to wait for you."

 He brought several people into a room, took out a written document and handed it to Gu Zhang, "Master Gu, take a look. Is there anything inappropriate?"

Gu Fei leaned over and the two of them looked over the receipt and found nothing wrong.

Gu Zhang took the recipe and handed it to the shopkeeper, and took his fingerprint.

 Next, the shopkeeper sent someone to follow them to the Yamen to apply for the land deed.
