Outside, Zhou Ying counted the dowry with Mrs. Qiu, Mrs. Sun, Kuihua, and Shizhu.

After finishing, she looked up at Butler Feng and said, “Uncle Feng, I’ve finished counting.”

“I’m relieved. You guys go ahead. I’ll go back now.” After Butler Feng finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

Zhou Ying quickly stopped him. “Wait. You’ve helped us a lot before. It’s not easy for you to come to visit us, especially on such a joyous occasion. How can you leave?”

“But I…”

“No buts. As long as no one dies, there’s nothing more urgent than this. It’s the same if you go back early after having a meal.”

After saying that, Zhou Ying directly helped him into the house. She said to Gu Chengrui, “Rui, I’m leaving Uncle Feng with you. I’m going to cook now.”

“Okay, remember to make some shredded radish salad.” Gu Chengrui stood up and said,

“Got it.” Zhou Ying turned around and left after that.

Gu Chengrui guided Uncle Feng to sit and poured him a glass of water.

Uncle Feng looked at King Rui with a troubled expression.

Seeing this, King Rui nodded and said, “Do stay, Uncle Feng. It’s rare for you to get a chance to taste Mrs. Gu’s cooking.”

“Alright.” Uncle Feng sat down with a clear conscience.

Gu Chengrui said, “If Your Highness likes to eat Ying’s dishes, you can come over more often in the future. She has nothing much to do now and is quite free.”

“I will.” King Rui nodded.

However, the problem wasn’t whether Zhou Ying was busy or not. He’s getting busy, and it was inconvenient for him to come.

After Zhou Ying entered the kitchen, she saw that Gu Wanning was trying her best to slice the radish. She went forward and said, “You don’t have to be so careful. It’s much easier to shred the radish after you flatten one side.

“In addition, when pressing the ingredients with your left hand, your fingers must dig deeper, or else it would be easy to cut it.”

After saying that, she demonstrated it to Gu Wanning again. After ensuring she learned it, she quickly peeled the outer skin and shredded it.

Zhou Ying then soaked it in light salt water.

She walked to Biaozi, who was processing the fish and said, “Brother Biozi, I’ll be cooking today, so you watch carefully from the side. If you can’t remember anything, write it down in your notebook.

“When the restaurant opened, these dishes would be on the menu.”

“Alright, I will definitely study hard.” Biaozi nodded solemnly.

At the same time, he was very grateful to Zhou Ying. He knew that in this era, all craftsmanship was passed down to the younger generation; even teachers were unwilling to teach their apprentices anything.

There were very few people like Zhou Ying who didn’t hide anything. Biaozi knew he couldn’t miss this opportunity.

After all the ingredients were prepared, Zhou Ying explained to him step by step how to cook these dishes, especially how he should control the flames.

Gu Wanning also took a notebook and listened earnestly.

Zhou Ying made a total of ten dishes and one soup, which symbolized perfection.

They were Squirrel Mandarin Fish, Steamed Pork with Rice Noodles, Eight Treasures Chicken, Roasted Lamb Chop, Mushroom and Pork, Braised Eggplant, Mushroom with Rapeseed, Sweet and Sour Radishes, Beef Sauce, and Fried Salted Peanut.

The soup to end it all was Duck Soup.

As for the carbs, Gu Wanning made scallion pancakes, meat pies, vegetable rolls, and pumpkin biscuits.

However, because there weren’t many guests and they had to be divided into two tables for men and women, the amount of food cooked wasn’t too much.

On the matchmaker’s side, it was mainly Zhou Ying, Mrs. Mother Qiu, and Haitang.

As for the men’s table, it was Gu Chengrui and Gu Chenglin who had rushed over.

After the meal and sending off the satisfied King Rui and the rest, Zhou Ying gave the list of betrothal gifts to Gu Wanning and said, “You and Chenglin discuss how you’ll arrange these betrothal gifts. The two of us won’t interfere..”
