Chapter 285: King Li Visits
Everyone looked at the bowls and plates, so many that they could hardly count them, and looked at each other in surprise.
Before today, they had never imagined that a bowl of porridge and noodles could be made into so many different dishes.
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly came back to their senses and signaled the servant who followed them to record it.
The food is divided into three areas: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
However, many people nowadays are still accustomed to eating twice a day and usually do not eat at night.
The breakfast provided by Gujia includes steamed buns, steamed bread, steamed dumplings, soy milk, tofu pudding, fried dough sticks, various porridges, spicy soup, noodles, rice rolls...
Lunch and dinner include barbecue, grilled fish, hot pot, clay pot chicken, rice set, dumplings, fish hot pot, special stir-fry, pork chop shop, steamed food shop...
The bosses of each restaurant have never seen such a variety of delicious food!
Everyone was attracted by the aroma of the delicious food and felt like they hadn't eaten for several days.
Just as we were about to start, there was a knock on the mall door.
Gu Dajiang ordered someone to open the door, and everyone turned around to look.
I saw King Li, two aides and several followers, standing at the entrance of the mall.
Led by Gu Dajiang, a group of people hurried forward and respectfully welcomed King Li in.
Everyone greeted him, and Gu Dajiang smiled and said, "I didn't know that Your Majesty had come. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
"I came here suddenly. I hope I didn't disturb you all?" King Li asked after taking a look around. "Are you having a banquet?"
Gu Dajiang then told him everything and invited him, "If Your Majesty doesn't mind, please stay and enjoy the food together."
King Li smelled the fragrance in the air and naturally would not refuse. He said happily: "In this case, I will not be polite.
Don't be too reserved, there is no prince here today, I am just an ordinary person who came here to broaden my horizons, everyone please be more casual."
Although King Li said this, everyone was still a little reserved. They all let King Li taste it first before they picked up the food to taste.
However, this state did not last long. After people tasted the delicious food, they remembered the purpose of their visit and each of them was immersed in the delicious food.
King Li was really casual about it. He asked his staff to taste the food as well. He put away his aura and made it easy for people to ignore his presence.
After everyone had tasted their breakfast, they pointed and noted while chewing.
Poor followers, they had to follow their masters and watch them eat happily, and could only swallow their saliva.
In fact, King Li came here today because he heard the rumors in the county.
I was worried that things weren't going well for Gu Dajiang, so I took the time to come and support him.
I happened to see Gu Dajiang leading everyone to taste delicious food, so I joined in.
Prince Li had previously received news from the secret guards in the capital, saying that His Majesty had recently obtained some vegetable seeds, and the ingredients for the royal meals had become extremely rich and delicious. It was said that His Majesty had gained three pounds.
The dignitaries in the capital all hope that Your Majesty will keep them for dinner.
There were even old ministers who went to court on an empty stomach just to appear weak in the court and force the emperor to leave some food for them.
When Prince Li saw the news, he slammed the table in anger and scolded the officials in the capital for not doing their jobs.
But after eating the Gu family’s delicious food today, King Li understood those people.
After tasting these delicacies, who would still want to eat those bland things?
After everyone had breakfast, lunch and dinner followed.
Although everyone didn't eat much, there were so many varieties that even if everyone took one bite they would be full, not to mention that everyone ate more than one bite.
But when Gu Ji opened the hot pot and skewers in front of them...
The overbearing fragrance went straight into their nostrils, and everyone instantly felt as if they had not eaten at all.
"What kind of delicacy is this? The fragrance is so overbearing!" King Li asked.
"Your Highness, these dishes are cooked with the hot pot broth, but since it's hard to place the hot pot, they are served in food boxes to keep warm after cooking.
This dish is quite spicy. Since most of you have never had spicy food, you can try it lightly.
This dish is called Chuan Chuan Xiang. It has something in common with hotpot, but it also tastes unique. It is also spicy, but it can also be made non-spicy. You can all try it.
Knowing that the dish is grilled fish, it is different from our cash flow consideration method. The meat tastes more tender, and the flavor can be spicy, tomato, or numbing. You can all try it. "
……
Under Gu Ji's introduction, Yiyi tasted a variety of dishes. These delicacies simply ignited the taste buds of everyone present.
Everyone wishes they could grow a few more stomachs.
Everyone tasted each of the dishes provided by the Gu family.
It turned out that it was just as the Gu family said, even if everyone opened a food shop, it would not affect each other's business.
Each kind of food has its own unique style, and I believe that no matter which one it is, there will be a certain audience group. It is enough for these shops to survive without worrying about competition.
After everyone tasted it together, it was finally the turn of his followers and confidants to taste it.
After everyone has tasted the food, each family will gather together to discuss which dish to choose.
Gu Dajiang also gave everyone enough time and space to discuss.
King Li took this opportunity to call Gu Dajiang aside and told him about the rumors outside in recent days.
Upon hearing this, Gu Dajiang suddenly realized.
No wonder business has been bad recently.
He smiled helplessly and said to King Li: "This is simply nonsense! A Jing knows everything about my family, but we don't have as much land as they say."
Gu Dajiang was afraid that King Li would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained.
King Li naturally knew that even if there was so much land, the emperor's grandson had no objection, so what objection could he, a king of a different surname, have?
Thinking about it, he comforted her by saying, "Most of the people are ignorant and foolish, so there is no need to bother with them.
I'm sorry for your good intentions, but do you need me to help you clarify this?"
"Thank you, Your Highness. I won't bother you with such a trivial matter." Gu Dajiang declined hurriedly.
Prince Li confirmed it several times again, but seeing that Gu Dajiang insisted, he said nothing more.
He only left one sentence: "If you have any difficulties, feel free to come to the palace to find me." With Gu Dajiang's thanks, he left with his men.
After Gu Ji finished his work, he came over to ask.
Gu Dajiang did not hide it and told Gu Ji all the rumors from outside and what King Li said.
Gu Jichu couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he heard this. His family had spent a lot of effort trying to improve their livelihood, but these people framed them like this.
Fortunately, my family has the relationship between Ajing and King Li, and King Li knows me inside and out. Otherwise, if I were to be suspected by the superiors, I don't know how much trouble would arise just by proving myself.
