Gu Shangqing smiled gently, "Okay."
Li Mumu also wanted to go to the kitchen with Gu's mother, but Gu's mother stopped her and said, "You can talk to Shang Qing more. I will go with your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law."
"That's right." Wang Cuizhen said, "Shang Qing will be gone for a long time, so you should talk to him more. We know you can't bear to leave him, and he can't bear to leave you either."
"That's right, don't be polite with us." Zhang Caiping pushed Li Mumu towards Gu Shangqing, then went to the kitchen with Gu's mother and Wang Cuizhen.
Li Mumu stopped exchanging pleasantries with them and went into the hall with Gu Shangqing.
Gu Shangyong and Gu Shangwei also left space for the two of them and ran to the kitchen to help.
With so many people together, the dumplings cook very quickly.
Not long after, Gu Shangyong and Gu Shangwei came back with plates of dumplings.
The dumplings were still very hot, but Gu Shangqing ate them one bite after another.
"Hey, eat slowly, you don't mind it being too hot." said Mother Gu.
Gu Shangqing also wanted to eat slowly, but he also knew that even if he didn't leave today, he would have to leave tomorrow.
"The dumplings are so delicious." Gu Shangqing said in a relaxed manner.
Mother Gu was reluctant to let Gu Shangqing leave, her eyes slightly reddened, but she still tried to hide it, and said with a smile: "I'll make it for you when you come back."
"But you have to eat noodles on the first day you come back," said Mother Gu.
"Why?" Gu Shangqing asked.
"It makes sense. We eat dumplings when they leave and noodles when they come back." Gu's mother explained.
"Okay, then let's eat noodles first." Gu Shangqing nodded.
He really couldn't eat any more and he had no excuse to delay any longer.
Then he put down his chopsticks and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm done eating."
"I... will definitely come back as soon as possible." Gu Shangqing said.
"Okay." Mother Gu blinked and held back her tears. "Remember, we are all waiting for you at home. You must come back early."
"Also... take care of yourself..." said Mother Gu, "Come back safely."
"Okay." Gu Shangqing nodded.
Everyone sent him out the door together, and Li Mumu had already given all the instructions he needed to give.
No matter how much you say at this moment, they are all words of reluctance.
The more you say these words, the sadder you will feel, but they won't change anything.
Li Mumu watched Gu Shangqing get on the horse.
Gu
Shang Qing didn't even dare to look at his family again.
The more I see, the less courage I have to leave.
Li Mumu saw Gu Shangqing leaving without looking back, and she could only look at Gu Shangqing's back.
Because they got up early, even though they had some dumplings, there were not many people on the street.
Gu Shangqing rode his horse very fast and soon disappeared at the entrance of the alley.
Gu's mother didn't know what Gu Shangqing was going to do, but she guessed that what he was doing must be dangerous, and she felt sad.
What's more, Li Mumu knew exactly what Gu Shangqing was going to do, so she didn't dare to cry in front of everyone in the Gu family.
He could only sniff, go back to his room, get out pen and ink, and start organizing his thoughts and writing about expanding the freight shop.
Originally, she thought there was no need to rush and that she could take it step by step, steadily and slowly.
But now it's no use, she has no time and must hurry.
The one in Chong'an has been opened, but the ones closer to the border have not been opened yet.
Li Mumu wrote a letter to Min Huilan and asked the freight company to deliver the package urgently.
The letter did not mention Gu Shangqing's affairs, but only asked Min Huilan for help to open a freight shop at the border as quickly as possible.
Apart from these, there was nothing she could do to help Gu Shangqing, and she could only try her best to do what she could.
Try to provide Gu Shangqing with a hiding place on the border.
But I still hope Gu Shangqing won't need it.
Li Mumu sighed, it would be great if he could do business in the Turkic region.
Seeing that Li Mumu had become even busier than before, everyone in the Gu family thought that she was just trying to keep herself busy so that she didn't miss Gu Shangqing that much, so they didn't try to stop her.
If Li Mumu can be happier when she is busy and not so worried about Gu Shangqing, then she should be busy.
Even the rest of them were trying hard to keep themselves busy.
Gu's father, who had been living a leisurely life since leaving Yong'an Village, also specially asked his servants to clear out a vegetable plot in the garden.
I don't ask anyone to do anything else, from moving the soil, loosening the soil, sowing seeds, applying fertilizer, etc., I do it all by myself. In short, I never let myself be idle.
There are many servants in the house now, and there are many people in the kitchen alone.
You don't need to do anything yourself.
Only when Li Mumu is researching new dishes will she bring Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping with her to personally prepare them.
And the morning of the day when Gu Shangqing left
In the morning, they also cooked the dumplings themselves.
Including serving the dumplings, everything was done by Gu Shangyong and Gu Shangwei.
All matters related to sending Gu Shangqing off were handled by no one else.
But now, when Gu's mother has nothing to do, she will stroll into the kitchen and buy cloth to make clothes, bags and various small storage bags for the children.
I do whatever I can think of, I just don't want to let myself be idle.
Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping also went to Gu's snack shop and the errand shop every day to see if there was anything they could do to help.
Seeing that everyone wanted to be busy, Li Mumu put Gu's fried chicken shop on the agenda.
The signboard was already ready, and Li Mumu taught Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping how to make various fried chicken snacks and hamburgers.
Although Zhang Caiping's cooking skills are average, she has a solid foundation in cooking.
As long as the recipe and the heat are right, there will be no problem.
It's actually quite simple to say, and Zhang Caiping learned it easily.
Then they started recruiting workers.
Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping trained the chefs and taught them how to make these snacks.
Li Mumu was also busy. In addition to expanding the freight shop, he also trained the store employees on how to serve customers.
After many busy days, Gu's Fried Chicken finally opened.
Because the store is located in a good location, the street is prosperous, and Gujia snacks have a good reputation, Gujia Fried Chicken aroused the curiosity of many people as soon as it opened.
On the opening day, Li Mumu specially invited lion dancers, accompanied by gongs and drums, making the scene extremely lively.
The newly hired guys cut the fried chicken and various snacks into thumb-sized samples and gave them to the onlookers to taste.
Even if they didn't try the food, the aroma of frying food would make the onlookers hungry.
The guy was handing out sample samples and flyers to them at the same time.
There is also the guy in the errand shop who always adds a flyer of Gu's Fried Chicken when delivering goods to people.
There is a menu of Gujia Fried Chicken on it, as well as discounts for the first three days of opening.
For example, ordering a fried chicken comes with mashed potatoes and a drink.
Order a hamburger combo and get a free fried chicken coupon, so you can save a lot next time you buy fried chicken.
This is the first time someone has done this in Daxi.
Especially when coupons are given, many people can't resist the temptation to go into the store and exchange them for coupons because they realize that the price is so much cheaper than the original price.
