Seeing that the cooks were ready to get to work, the assistants they brought with them put their tools in the kitchen on the thick brick table made of brick and stone.

Then they cleaned the boards and props, and then picked up the cleaned chickens and ducks and began to chop them into pieces of meat of the same size.

Suddenly there was the sound of knives and chopping boards in the kitchen.

Due to the small number of people, they can only speed up as much as possible.

………………………

As time passed, the people in the village came to Gu Anning's house with the gifts they had prepared.

Among these people is Gu Qing from the village chief's family.

He didn't come with the village chief, but by himself.

"An Ning, I'm here to help you with the work." came to her side and watched her constantly busy, and then offered to help.

Gu Anning stopped what she was doing when she heard this, "No need! Brother Gu, you go and sit on the side first. After finishing speaking, Gu Anning began to get busy with the work at hand again.

Just as she was about to turn around, a slender one grabbed her arm.

Gu Anning stopped turning around, looked down and grabbed the hand of her arm.

The owner of that hand was Gu Qing, and he found that he actually grabbed An Ning's slender arm in a hurry, and his face turned red and he quickly let go of his hand.

"yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." As he spoke, he was so nervous that he even paused to speak.

Looking at his flushed face, Gu Anning shook her head with some amusement.

Judging from the appearance of the big brother Gu in front of him, he should have never touched other women physically, such as his hands, otherwise he would not be so innocent.

"It's fine."

Except for his mother, he has never been close to a woman, and his whole person is extremely nervous, and his red face is still red, showing the nervousness and shyness of his master.

Seeing that the big boy in front of him was nervous and didn't know what to say, Gu Anning smiled: "I'll go and get busy first."

Maybe it was her words or maybe it was her smile, Gu Qing, who was originally nervous, immediately calmed down.

"An Ning, I know how to read, I'll help you memorize the gift book."

Just as she was about to leave after speaking, Gu Anning hurriedly spoke, but this time he didn't dare to reach out again.

Gu Anning heard this, and then nodded with him.

So, Gu Qing, who had taken an errand, went to move a table and stool to the door. At the same time, Gu Anning went to the study, took out a set of four treasures from a cabinet and walked out.

When he came to Gu Qing's side, Gu Anning put the set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his hand on the table in front of him.

"Use this, and I'm sorry for you."

put all the four treasures of the study in his hand on the table, and shouted, Gu Anning left without caring about it.

When Gu Qing heard this, he looked at this set of fine pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, and the whole person couldn't help but reach out and carefully touch this new set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and his eyes were full of love.

Although his eyes were full of love, there was no greed.

Although he likes this set of four treasures of the study, he still understands the truth that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way.

Gu Anning, who was busy, came to a room dedicated to storing sundries and took out firecrackers.

…………………

At the door, Gu Qing was holding a brush in his hand, and people from the village were already coming with gifts outside.

When they came to the door, when they saw that the person who gave the gift and the name was Gu Qing from the village chief's family, the villagers all had a smile on their faces!

"Ah Qing, you are here to remember the ceremony!"

When Gu Qing heard this, the whole person laughed softly, "Yes, I just happened to be free to help." ”

"Alright, alright, come and help us write these things down." The villager who spoke smiled and placed the basket of eggs on his table.

Gu Qing, who had a scholarly atmosphere, counted the eggs in the basket, then took the brush and dipped it in ink, and wrote down the name of the giver and the number of gifts given on the blank book.

The gifts brought by the man were noted, and he walked inside.

Gu Qing put the basket of eggs on the table on the bluestone slab behind him, and then marked who gave them to him.

After remembering one after another, among these villagers, those whose families are in good condition will give some eggs, and those who do not have eggs will give some gift money.

Those who lived in poverty could not take out eggs, so they took out one or two copper plates as gifts.

Although you can't give too much money, it's all a little bit of heart you can give.

In addition, some people send some chickens, or some grain, and some people also send a pound or two of cotton, etc., which can be said to be all kinds of things.

As time went by, there were more and more gifts piled up behind Gu Qing, and there were still a few rooster crows from time to time among these gifts.

In the kitchen, there were assistants and some women next to them to do chores and hand things, and the three chefs began to show their skills.

The hot pot, the rich aroma of the dishes in the pot, the chefs' condiments and stir-frying.

The smell of incense began to slowly diffuse, lingering throughout the new mansion, and still wafting outward.

The chef is indeed a chef, and the stir-fried dishes are more fragrant than those made by many people.

The aroma lingering in the courtyard was inhaled by many villagers, making them hungry and greedy.

On the side of the old mansion, Gu Youyin and Gu Chun, who were standing at the door, looked at the villagers who were walking in one direction with their gifts, and their eyes showed longing.

But because of their grandfather, they can only resist their desire to go.

As time passed, the two sisters and brothers, who were looking at the villagers with smiles on their faces on their faces, twitched their noses one by one.

"It smells so good."

"If only I could eat it."

The two of them, who were fascinated by the aroma, showed an obsessive look on their faces.

"Brother, it's better to go secretly while grandpa doesn't know."

Gu Chunlai, who couldn't stand the invasion of the aroma, licked her thick lips and said to his brother with a longing face.

Gu Youyin, who was also eager, was moved by his sister's words. But thinking of his grandfather, he shook his head suddenly.

"No, if grandpa finds out at that time, grandpa's current temper will definitely beat us up."

For his fierce grandfather, he was a little afraid in his heart.

Gu Chun looked into the distance and licked his thick lips, "The cheap girl's family is so rich, there must be a lot of meat in today's dish, and it is worth it to be beaten if you can eat a meal." ”

The two of them discussed with each other's voices suppressed.
