Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1126 - 1128: Young Master Guo’s Wife

While Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming were searching for Xue Zhiyi, Li Fugui had already arrived in Lin County.

He brought his research team and dined at all the big and small restaurants in Lin County, not only researching fish dishes but also exploring other signature cuisines of the area.

Through their development and modification, they introduced many new dishes to Yuelai Restaurant. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Thanks to Li Fugui, the business of Yuelai Restaurants everywhere improved.

Li Fugui wasn’t just focused on dishes; sometimes he would inspect Yuelai Restaurant to see customer feedback and make improvements, and occasionally he would even personally help with cooking.

Ever since his setbacks, Li Fugui changed from his previous young master demeanor. Even though his position at Yuelai Restaurant is high, he doesn’t put on airs.

He gets along well with everyone at the restaurant, and everyone affectionately calls him Head Chef Li.

On this day, because there was a newly developed dish and he wanted to hear customer feedback, Li Fugui came to the Yuelai Restaurant kitchen to prepare a taste test for everyone.

Seeing Li Fugui arrive, everyone was in high spirits, "Head Chef Li."

Li Fugui nodded and greeted everyone one by one, then said, "Today, I brought a new dish; let’s let the customers try it later."

"Alright! Everyone, quickly lend Head Chef Li a hand," Chef Jiang waved and called everyone to action.

Seeing this, Li Fugui instructed everyone to prepare the ingredients and condiments for the dish.

This is a fish dish. It’s really simple: just steam the fish and then pour a sauce over it, with the secret mainly in the sauce ingredients.

When Li Fugui poured the prepared sauce over the fish, the dish was complete.

The unique fish aroma from the sauce filled the air, and everyone praised it before even tasting it, "The flavor is amazing; the customers will definitely love it."

"Don’t just smell it, quickly have a taste."

Upon hearing Li Fugui, everyone hurriedly picked up their chopsticks to try the fish, dipping it in the sauce at the side. The taste was fragrant, and the fish was tender, almost melting in the mouth.

Everyone had one bite and wanted more, repeatedly praising it and asking, "This dish will definitely become a signature dish; does it have a name?"

Li Fugui replied, "Call it ’Fortune with Fish.’"

"Head Chef Li, that’s a great name with a wonderful meaning."

Everyone ate happily, and Chef Jiang said, "I wish this dish came a few days earlier so I could have shown it off at the Guo Mansion."

"Hmm?" Li Fugui asked puzzledly.

An assistant chef explained, "Head Chef Li, Chef Jiang is going to the Guo Mansion this afternoon to prepare dinner especially for the young mistress there."

Wherever people are, gossip follows. No matter the place, mentioning the Guo Mansion, the kitchen staff began to gossip, "The Guo family, they’re the owners of the largest dyeing workshop in our county."

"Yes, now it’s managed by the Young Master."

"Currently, there’s only Madam Guo as the female head in the Guo family. All those women that Master Guo used to have, who knows what tricks Madam Guo and Young Master Guo used, but they were all sent away."

"Yes, indeed. The Guo family now has such a huge fortune, and it’s all under the young master’s control. Many women wish to marry him."

"But over the years, he never sought a match. And then, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, a young mistress of Guo appears, and it’s said she’s already several months pregnant. See? The Guo family treats that young mistress exceptionally well. So much so that since her appetite was poor, they came here to invite a head chef to cook for her."
