Chapter 144: Secret Joy

After coming out of the restaurant, Gu Zhang and Gu Qing looked at each other with joy on their faces.

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 20 acres of land!"

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

"Dad, I'll trouble you to copy the recipes these days."

Gu Zhang nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course." He stretched his head out, "By the way, Dalang, see if there is a stationery store on the street and buy some good 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 the manor.

The carriage drove in, and several people got off. The village head Liu came out and asked with a smile: "Second Master Gu is full of joy. Did you buy the land?"

Gu Zhang smiled and said vaguely: "It may be possible, but we have to wait a few days to see."

The village head Liu nodded and went to work. He just listened to Gu Zhang's words. The land around Ping'an City was in great demand. He didn't believe that Master Zhu would be willing to give some to Gu Zhang.

Chen was cooking in the front yard. When she heard the sound, she ran out, "You're back? The meal is ready. Let's eat quickly."

The old lady was there during the meal, and Gu Zhang and Gu Qing kept it to themselves.

After the old lady finished eating and went back to her room, Gu Qing's face was full of joy. She lowered her voice and said, "Mom, you don't know yet, my sister just negotiated with someone to teach him how to cook with peppers. He gave us 20 acres of land and a yard, which is worth about 300 taels of silver."

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

Gu Qing shook her head, "More than a few, my sister said there are 20 to 30 dishes."

"That's not worth that much, isn't it? It's just a few dishes?" 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. Those high-end restaurants can sell any dish for one or half a tael. This little money will be back in a few days."

Li Chunhua suddenly said beside her, "Why don't you open a restaurant yourself? Your dishes are so delicious."

Gu Fei shook her head, "Opening a restaurant requires a lot of capital, and you need some connections. Besides, the dishes I know are all home-cooked dishes. In fact, they are not presentable, but they are fresh."

"A real chef needs many years to practice knife skills. What I can do is nothing."

In the next few days, the whole family suppressed their secret joy and peeled the pepper seeds together behind closed doors. Everyone's hands were swollen from the spiciness, and finally all the pepper seeds were peeled out.

Gu Fei saw that the peppers did not look good after the seeds were peeled, so she asked Lian'er to cut them all into pepper powder.

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

That morning, the father and his sons went into the city with the peppers after breakfast.

The door of Yipin Pavilion was open. As soon as they entered, the shopkeeper came to greet them, "Second Master Gu is here. My eldest son told me to wait for you."

He took them into a room and handed a document to Gu Zhang, "Second Master Gu, take a look. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Gu Fei came over and the two of them read the document and found nothing wrong.

Gu Zhang took the menu and gave it to the shopkeeper, who put his handprint on it.

Next, the shopkeeper sent someone to go with them to the government office to get the land deed and house deed.
