I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

Mr. Gu was very happy to see that everyone was so reasonable and grateful.

He shouted to the crowd, "To celebrate everyone's recovery, we will have a banquet at home tonight. Everyone come to our home for dinner."

"Great, we're in for a treat tonight. The Gu family's food is one-of-a-kind, and I've never eaten it outside."

"That's right. I didn't know the cook made it this way. The taste is really unforgettable."

"Mr. Gu, I wonder if we can learn how to cook from your cook?" a fat man asked.

Mr. Gu smiled cheerfully and said, "Of course, no problem."

"That's great. The Gu family is so generous."

People praised it one after another.

Everyone lined up and registered what they wanted to borrow one by one.

Gu Dajiang put away the account book, waved it in front of everyone, and said loudly: "I will ask the housekeeper to prepare these things tomorrow morning. You can just go to the mansion to pick them up tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Mr. Gu, we all know it." People responded.

"Okay, then you guys take a rest first, and remember to come to our house for dinner in the evening." After Gu Dajiang gave the instructions, he and Gu Dahai carried the table and went back to the house with Old Man Gu and Zhisheng.

"The Gu family is really generous. They are not secretive at all when it comes to methods of building brick kilns and cement kilns. They just teach as long as they preach." A sturdy man said loudly to the people around him.

"Who said it wasn't? Do you still remember the meal we had on the first day we arrived? Has anyone of you eaten such delicious dishes before? Any one of them can become the signature dish of a restaurant. Someone wanted to learn it today, and you see that he is a family-friendly person, so he agreed without hesitation." A round-faced man also said.

“Hahaha, the one the Gu family agreed to is me,” a chubby man stood up and said, “To be honest, I own a restaurant. The dishes at the Gu family are better than those available outside, but most of them are not seen outside.”

"We are all staying in a small county town, maybe the food here is from the county or the capital." Someone said.

"That's hard to say. But the Gu family is definitely capable." someone continued.

Not far away, Song Renjing, who had been listening for a while, said that the Gu family's dishes were so varied that they had never been seen in the county or even in the capital.

In the crowd, there were a few strong and capable looking men who gathered together to discuss.

"You know, the Gu family is quite good to their servants. The housekeeper just follows around, while the first and second masters of the Gu family carry the tables themselves." A man with a square face and narrow eyes said to the people around him, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Well, the Gu family is kind and righteous." The thin-faced man on the left said with a smile pulled to one side.

"Brothers, have you borrowed any food?" asked a round-faced man opposite with a frown.

"Lend it. If you don't, you'll be hungry next time." said the thin and long-faced man.

"Let's go to the woods and collect some firewood, otherwise how will we cook tomorrow?" said the round-faced man.

Some people have planned ahead and have already started collecting firewood in the woods.

Some also gathered together to continue discussing Gu family cuisine.

Everyone was busy with their own work until it was dark, and the Gu family's house was lit up with a bright yellow halo.

The strange buildings next to the house were also flashing lights of various colors, and the lights connected into one, making the entire Gu family look like a fairy palace.

Zhisheng came out of the house and invited everyone to have a banquet at Gu's house.

A group of people followed Zhisheng and entered the Gu family's house again.

After being frightened last time and it was not dark yet, no one had the energy to look around. After that, everyone fell ill, and meals were delivered to the tent area by the servants of the Gu family.

This was the second time that everyone entered Gu's house. They saw that the house and the corridors were full of lights, as bright as day.

Along the wind and rain corridor, the rockery, trees, flowers and plants along the way are illuminated by various animal or plant-shaped lights, exuding a unique and strange beauty.

The group came to the yard where the kitchen was again.

The courtyard was already filled with banquets. When the Gu family saw everyone coming, they all stood up and greeted them with a smile.

Old Master Gu smiled cheerfully and greeted everyone, "Everyone is here. We have specially prepared a banquet today to celebrate your recovery. Everyone, please take your seats."

After hearing what Mr. Gu said, everyone pulled the people around them to find a seat and sat down. There were more than a dozen tables, and each table was occupied by seven or eight people.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Mr. Gu spoke again, "Fellow villagers, you have all experienced disasters and sufferings, but you have survived, and the past is over. In the future, I hope that you will not forget the friendship we shared in adversity, and let's work together to live a good life in the valley."

"If Weng County is rebuilt, we will send you out if you want to, and we will not refuse you if you want to stay and continue living there."

"So, let's eat and drink well today, and start working hard tomorrow to build a house and settle down as soon as possible."

"Good! Good!" Everyone started to applaud and cheer, no one knew who had led them.

Old Master Gu glanced at his granddaughter who was sitting at the same table with her brothers and smiled kindly.

Everyone looked at the dishes on the table. Each one was exquisite, with cold mountain delicacies, white jade-like lotus roots, spiced beef, and braised meat platters. The people from Weng County had all of them eaten before.

There was also a yellow dish among the appetizers, and no one could tell what it was made of.

Pick up a piece and pull out a long string. Take a bite and the outer shell is crispy, and the inside is soft and sticky. Everyone eats it in a novel and fun way. The most important thing is that it is delicious.

Hot dishes include grilled lamb chops, spicy chicken, braised pork elbow, steamed peach blossom fish, and braised spareribs.

There are two soups, one of which is sweet, called canned yellow peach glutinous rice balls sweet soup, which symbolizes escaping disaster and reuniting with the family.

A salty dish of pheasant and ginseng soup symbolizes soaring into the sky and smooth development.

Looking at the exquisite dishes, no one wanted to talk anymore and just ate the food on the table.

The smart butlers walked between the tables, pouring rice wine for the men's table and fruit juice for the female guests and children.

There were also some very particular people who came to the main table with cups or wine jugs to express their gratitude to the Gu family.

There are also people who cannot hold their alcohol tolerance. After a few more drinks, they will inevitably think of sad things and cry while hugging the people around them.

There were also eyes that were busy looking around at the Gu family.

In short, people were unusually relaxed that night.

The moon was at its zenith, and everyone had eaten and drunk well. Finally, they left Gu's house one by one, supporting each other, or hugging each other, or calling their friends, or chatting and laughing.

After everyone left, several versatile housekeepers of the Gu family helped the kitchen nanny to clean up the yard, tables, chairs and benches, and washed the dishes in batches using the dishwasher.

While the smart housekeeper was cleaning up, Gu Fu had already taken out the things that people from Weng County wanted to borrow according to the records in his second uncle's book.

Most of what they borrowed were food, seasonings, and cooking utensils, which were the basic necessities of life. They had their own set of clothes, plus a set of clothes prepared by the Gu family, which was enough for the time being.

Gu Fu looked at the things that people were borrowing and realized that there were definitely not that many iron pots, but he could still give each family a clay pot.

You can also put two mobile firewood stoves there, which should be able to provide supply during staggered use.

Gu Fu prepared the things in the space and labeled them with corresponding names.

He told Zhibao, "Zhibao, I have already divided the things they want to borrow. Just ask Uncle Sheng to bring them to the door of the house tomorrow morning and let them take them away."

"Okay, miss," Zhibao replied in a clear voice.
