It was Nanny Qian. She carried a basket with a smile.

“This is Laba porridge. Young Madam asked me to send it over. Miss Gu has just arrived in Fengkai County. You can try our local Laba porridge and see if it’s any different from yours.”

Gu Yundong was a little surprised. Why did Madam Yao send her Laba porridge?

However, Nanny Qian quickly resolved her doubts. “Young Madam said that she came to Gu’s with Young Master to celebrate Miss Gu’s opening a few days ago. She hit it off with Miss at first sight. Unfortunately, there were many guests that day and business was booming. Miss was busy, so our Young Madam didn’t have the chance to talk to Miss.”

As Nanny Qian spoke, she took out an invitation. “Seeing that Miss’s shop has stabilized over the past few days, Young Madam wants to invite Miss into the residence as a guest. Coincidentally, there’s a plum garden in the Peng Residence. At this time of the year, the plum blossoms are blooming. Young Madam sent me over to send Miss an invitation. Please don’t decline.” This essence is securely nested within the heart of Nøv€lß¡n★

“Huh?” Gu Yundong asked. Guest? Invite her to the Peng residence to admire the plum blossoms?

No, no, no. She didn’t have any romantic cells in her. She was a vulgar person who only wanted to earn money every day and didn’t have time to admire the flowers.

“Yeah.”

Zhuangzi couldn’t wait to open the lid. His eyes lit up.

The Laba porridge in Peng Manor was indeed different. There were many ingredients such as river rice, white fruit, walnut kernels, chestnuts, red dates, longan, and so on. To Zhuangzi, it was even more sumptuous than the Spring Festival’s food.

Gu Yundong also glanced at it, then retracted her gaze and went back with the invitation.

Zhuangzi immediately went to find bowls and chopsticks to share with Zheng Gang.

Yongfu Village was very lively. The Laba Festival was a day to worship ancestors and gods and pray for a bumper harvest and auspicious luck. Every family had more or less prepared Laba porridge. Even if the ingredients were not rich, it had to be done.

The workshop was not on holiday, but the Laba porridge that Gu Yundong had asked the Tong family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to cook in the morning was very sweet. She gave everyone in the workshop a big bowl to bring back.

Everyone in the workshop looked at the full bowl of Laba porridge and their smiles never faded.

As expected, working in the Gu family’s workshop was simply too good. After eating the porridge, they worked even harder.

Gu Yundong had been busy for two days and had almost forgotten the date she had agreed on with Madam Yao..
