Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Gu Cheng and Gu Tai walked over together while talking about the banquet. From a distance, they saw a group of people sitting together in the school, and everyone had a happy smile on their face.

When they got closer, they saw that it was the Gu brothers and sisters who were chatting with some relatives and friends.

Gu Cheng looked at Gu Yan and asked with a smile, "Brother Yan, we have just discussed with the elders and drafted the dishes for the banquet. Do you want to take a look?"

Gu Yan curled his lips slightly, smiled and waved his hand, and replied: "Second uncle, there's no need to look. I'm sorry to bother my uncle, second uncle and the elders to help with the arrangements."

Gu Tai laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He said with joy:

"Easy to say, easy to say!

I knew that Yan Ge'er was a rare talent, and he really brought honor to our Gu family!

This time, he won the first place in the college examination, which is really amazing!"

After hearing Gu Tai's words, the people around him gave him a thumbs up and praised him endlessly.

Someone lamented:

"First of all, there is only one in a state!

Even the county magistrate said he would come to the banquet tomorrow."

The next morning, Sheng Tang was bustling with activity. People gathered near the school early, eagerly waiting for the banquet to begin.

It is said that the chef in charge of cooking this time is from Manjianglou and is a very famous master chef.

Everyone was talking about this and praising the Gu family's strength and connections.

"Oh my, this Gu family is so powerful that they can even invite the master chef from Manjianglou!"

"That's right. After all, the young man from the Gu family is the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Such a big happy event should naturally be celebrated."

"Yeah, I wonder how sumptuous today's banquet will be..."

"There is only one case leader in the entire Jiangzhou, and now he is here with us!"

The folks in Sheng Tang were particularly proud when they talked about this matter. "The first place in the imperial examination actually came from their Sheng Tang!"

During this period, when they go out to visit relatives, they feel particularly proud when they are asked about their work. They have earned a lot of face.

At this time, they selectively forgot about the previous rumors about Gu Yan, and only remembered that Gu Yan won the first place in the case.

Even the aunts and uncles who hadn't been in touch for a long time came to inquire about the situation after they heard that someone in their village had won the case.

Some families that had never been able to get married before have now become popular.

These days, many families in the village have gotten engaged!

Not to mention the people of the Gu clan, the old patriarch felt it was an honor to go out.

Just this morning, he brought his son, Gu Tai from the prosperous Tang Dynasty, clan elders, and uncle and nephew Gu Cheng, and waited for the arrival of the county magistrate at the intersection of the village road early in the morning.

In fact, there was no need for Gu Yan to come in person, but in order to help the folks in Sheng Tang earn an extra layer of security, he came anyway.

He will soon go to Jiangzhou to study. The journey is long, and it won't be easy for him to come back here in the future.

As the saying goes, a county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. How can we not give face to the magistrate who is both the county magistrate and the current manager?

If we have a good relationship with him, the folks in Shengtangli will be able to get an extra layer of protection from him in the future.

He also kept some people here to develop.

After all, Pengze County is his roots and he cannot abandon it.

By building up a good relationship with the county magistrate, you can also take advantage of the development of his power here.

Now that he knows he may have another background, of course he has to think more about it, as an extra layer of protection is always good.

The magistrate of Pengze County never expected that he had been serving his term here for several years, yet this year a top criminal case appeared in the county. He felt surprised.

When the news came, he immediately asked someone to inquire, and only then did he know that there was such a task in the county under his jurisdiction.

It is said that a family has produced three scholars in two generations. The young man who won the first place is only sixteen years old this year. He passed the examination and became a student at a young age a few years ago.

If there had not been such a major change in his family, he might have passed the imperial examination and become a scholar a few years ago.

After learning about this, County Magistrate Chen was overjoyed and thought: The county has achieved such impressive results this year, the people above will definitely notice me!

He felt that he finally had a chance to move up.

This is great news.

What surprised Gu Taihe and the elders was that there were actually quite a few scholars who made the list this year who came with the magistrate.

Gu Yan didn't have any special feelings about this. After all, to him, it made no difference whether there were more or fewer people.

Among those who made the list this year from Pengze County, there are several of his classmates, and they also attended the banquet.

As for others, the reason they came to the banquet was because Gu Yan was the top scorer in this college examination.

And according to the current development trend, it is estimated that it is a foregone conclusion that he will pass the provincial examination in a few years.

Therefore, everyone wants to build good relationships in advance so that they may get some help in the future.

Pursuing profit is human nature.

After exchanging greetings for a while, everyone presented the gifts they had brought.

After Gu Yan had people register the gifts one by one, he arranged for everyone to take their seats.

The banquet usually starts at noon and ends at the end of the afternoon.

As people in the prosperous Tang Dynasty were eagerly waiting, the country women who had helped in the kitchen, which had already prepared the food, began to serve the dishes one after another.

The first dish was steamed chicken. Fragrant steamed chickens were placed on the table, exuding an enticing aroma.

But this is no ordinary steamed chicken, each chicken is stewed with precious medicinal herbs to make it taste more delicious and have nutritional value.

Moreover, these chickens are mountain chickens purchased from the countryside and were just raised this year.

They live in the fruit trees on the mountains, foraging for food freely. Their meat is tender and juicy with an excellent taste.

Not only that, the chicken seems to have a light fruity aroma, which increases your appetite.

This first dish made everyone eager to taste it. It was swept away as soon as it was served. Everyone smacked their lips, still wanting more.

Then, the second dish came out. A large pot of steaming mutton offal soup with a meaty aroma appeared before our eyes.

The mutton offal inside is stewed until it is soft and tasty, extremely fresh and fragrant, and mouth-watering.

The hot and spicy mutton offal soup stimulates the taste buds and makes everyone exclaim in delight.

The third dish is braised rabbit cubes, which are bright red in color and fragrant; the fourth dish is sliced ​​mutton, which is as thin as a cicada's wing and melts in the mouth; the fifth dish is braised pork belly, which is fat but not greasy and has a mellow taste.

It has to be said that the chef at Manjianglou has superb cooking skills. Even when he is cooking rural big pot dishes, his cooking is not inferior and he maintains the level of a master chef.

Several meat dishes were served and everyone enjoyed them with gusto and praised them highly.
