Guoguo struggled to get down, but Zhou Ying quickly hugged her tightly and said, “Just watch. It’s cold down there, so you can’t go down.”
Guoguo shook her little body unhappily and clapped her hands again as she watched Gu Chengrui catch the fish.
In the end, Gu Chengrui only got two large grass carp and a few small fish that had frozen to death.
“Guoguo, how do you want to eat fish today?” he asked.
“Fish.”
“Yeah, how do you plan to eat it?” Gu Chengrui asked.
Guoguo was in a dilemma and turned her head to look at Zhou Ying.
“Except for the fish you picked out for her today,” Zhou Ying said with a smile. “I usually make fishballs for her. I’m afraid she doesn’t know how else to eat them.”
“I see. So let’s eat fishballs tonight, with some winter melon slices and vermicelli.” Gu Chengrui said.
“Ball.” Guoguo immediately clapped her hands with a smile.
“Yes, ball. Let’s go back and make fishballs.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he picked up the fish and returned with them.
When they returned, the two brought Guoguo to make fishballs.
When they were almost done, Zhou Ying boiled the remaining fish heads, bones, tails, and other scraps into a fish soup. She planned to make a big pot for everyone.
Mrs. Hu, who smelled the soup, ran over and saw them busy in the kitchen. She hurriedly said, “Master, Mistress, why are you doing it yourself? Just let me do it.”
“No need. I have nothing to do anyway. It’s good to take care of the children and do some work.” Zhou Ying replied.
She added, “I’ve made the fishballs and soup. Later at night, you can stir-fry two more vegetable dishes and make some pancakes.”
“Ah, I will knead the dough now.” Mrs. Hu replied and got busy.
Mrs. Hu left the kitchen, went out, and called Mrs. Sun over. The two of them soon got busy cooking pancakes.
On the other end, after Gu Chengrui prepared the fishballs, he brought Guoguo back to the house.
After dinner, Head Hu came in with two account books in the evening. “Master, these are the account books of the manor. Please take a look. I also have a question from the people you asked to stay or leave.
“If they leave, do they need to pay for their freedom?”
“Is there anyone who wants to leave?”
“Yes, there is a manservant. He wants to go home.”
“No need. Just give him his contract and let him go to the government office to change his household registration.”
“Master is benevolent. I will tell him now.”
“Go and tell everyone that this is their only chance.
“Those who choose to stay must pledge their loyalty to the Gu residence.”
“Yes.” Head Hu responded and turned to leave.
After he left, Gu Chengrui glanced at the account books and realized that the main profit of the manor was peaches.
Fish, chickens, ducks, and geese were also raised on the mountain, but their profits were low.
It seemed that this was a manor built specifically for vacations.
Then, he let Zhou Ying take a look.
The two of them drank a pot of tea and washed up briefly before bringing Guoguo back to her room.
The temperature in the room had already risen, so Guoguo also became energetic.
The two of them played with her for a while. After she fell asleep, Gu Chengrui locked the door and windows, and the two of them brought Guoguo into the interspace.
As soon as she entered the space, Zhou Ying received a large amount of incense and countless prayers.
After putting Guoguo into the villa, she immediately walked to the storeroom to check.
She did not expect the prayers to be from the people of the Western Continent, including their new king.
It was almost the new year, but their current rations could only keep people from starving to death, so they were praying for food. Oh, right, there were also prayers for rain. Most of the areas on the Western Continent had not had rain for half a year..
