The waiter took a closer look and said, "This is the cousin of Manager Guo from Wenxiang Ju." They returned to the round table, and the waiter continued, "Please take a seat."

After seeing Aunt Wu and Miss Wu sitting down, he poured tea for them very considerately and said, "This man is called Guo Shun. He works with some able-bodied men from villages outside the city. The able-bodied men all call him Foreman Guo, but they prefer to be called Young Master Guo."

Xue Qing remembered Aunt Liang saying that this Li man used to work for a foreman, but later he was injured and could no longer do heavy physical work, so he stayed at home to look after a few acres of land.

Although it is not as good as before, after all, the family still has some assets after two generations.

I heard the waiter say, "Foreman Guo came to our Youranju for dinner a few days ago, and he ordered all our signature dishes."

Shopkeeper Xie asked the chef to prepare the signature dishes more carefully. He was not afraid of Guo Shun coming to snoop on the dishes, because the methods could not be hidden at all, but the ingredients were different.

Xue Qing suddenly noticed that the waiter had already treated her as a family member, which made her feel relieved. The waiter's attitude towards the Wu family represented the attitude of Shopkeeper Xie and even the boss.

I suddenly became a shareholder of Youran Ju. The boss and Manager Xie valued the cooking recipes I had, but the waiters below might not have such a high level of awareness.

But I can also see that my choice was right, Youran Ju is very good from top to bottom.

Xue Qing nodded and asked, "What's your name, little brother?"

The second brother replied respectfully: "No, no, my surname is Xie and my given name is Jiang."

Xue Qing smiled and said, "Xie Xiaoge, can you pass a message to Shopkeeper Xie to see if he can find out where Foreman Guo has been recently?"

"Miss Wu, I will go find the shopkeeper right away," and then she left the private room.

It was already past noon when the few of them went downstairs. They didn't see Shopkeeper Xie, and it was Brother Xie who saw them out. Before they left, Xue Qing asked casually, "Brother Xie, do you usually get a lot of children with you when you dine?"

Xie Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Not a few."

Xie Jiang didn't know why Xue Qing asked this question, so he just replied respectfully.

Xue Qing didn't say anything else after hearing that.

Because he bought a lot of cloth, rice, flour, etc. this time, all of which were sent to Youran Ju. Xie Jiang asked a maid in the kitchen to help deliver them to the city gate.

When Li returned home, Zhao Da was working on the vegetable garden in the yard. He was covered in mud. He frowned and suppressed his annoyance: "I'm back."

Li was very good at embroidery. She usually embroidered handkerchiefs, purses, bellybands, etc. at home. Every time she went to the city, she would sell her embroidery. Of course, she did sell some of it.

This is also the reason why Zhao Da is grateful to Li. Although the family can still make a decent living, Li still works hard on embroidery every day and then sells it in the county town for money.

Seeing Li coming back, he ran over happily and said, "My wife, you are back."

My wife is getting more and more beautiful. I don’t know how many lifetimes she has accumulated to gain this blessing.

Zhao Da wanted to hold Li's arm, but Li dodged him. Zhao Da saw the mud on his hands and chuckled twice in embarrassment.

Li went into the house on her own. Zhao Da was overjoyed. It had been a long time since Li took the initiative to talk to him. He quickly fetched some water, washed up, and went into the house.

Li gave a forced smile: "Do you know that now everyone in the village goes up the mountain to pick mushrooms?"

Zhao Da saw Li's smile, and his heart warmed. He controlled his hand and said, "More and more people in the village are going to pick mushrooms."
