Chapter 125: Picky

Shopkeeper Yang followed the aroma and came in, his eyes sparkling: "Boss Xu, I can smell it outside, it's so fragrant, not as light as the Suxiang Pavilion across the street."

Xu Qingmeng just smiled, then asked someone to bring out the wife cakes. Everyone was not polite and stepped forward to take one, not even minding the heat, and stuffed it into their mouths.

"Hmm, so delicious!" Mrs. Chen took a bite and her eyes widened.

Xinting also enjoyed the meal very much. As expected, she is still the younger sister and she still has a lot to learn.

The other dishes also received high praise, whether they were salty or sweet, they all received rave reviews.

In fact, even if they didn't speak, Xu Qingmeng could feel at ease just by looking at the way they ate.

There were quite a few in the pot, but not too many either, so he planned to take a few for Yun Sheng and Yun Mo. Then he remembered the last time Gu Yunyi was in a bad mood, and he paused for a moment, and finally picked up eight, four sweet and four salty.

The others quickly shared and ate up the rest, but Xinting, relying on her sister-in-law, managed to get an extra one. She smiled as if she had found gold on the road.

When Xu Qingmeng returned home in the afternoon, she saw Yun Sheng and Yun Mo running towards her.

Yun Sheng asked as he ran, "Sister-in-law, what delicious food did you bring today?"

Xu Qingmeng was helpless. The little girl was always obsessed with food.

He heard it in the courtyard and said directly: "Sister-in-law has been out for a long time, why don't you ask if she is tired? As soon as you open your mouth, I know you want to know. Sister-in-law loves you very much."

Yun Sheng stuck out his tongue, walked to Xu Qingmeng, touched her belly, and said in a condescending manner, "Baby, be good in your sister-in-law's belly, or I'll beat you when you come out."

He was so amused by Yun Sheng's childish behavior that she slapped her on the head and said, "This child, the baby hasn't even come out yet, and you're already scolding her. What will happen when it comes out?

Yun Sheng raised his chin disapprovingly: "We have to teach it now, so that the baby will be obedient when it comes out, right!"

“You!”

Yun Mo on the side was relatively quiet, but he kept staring at Xu Qingmeng's hand with his sparkling eyes, with an expectant look.

Xu Qingmeng was also at a loss for words, "Today we have some new snacks, some sweet and some salty."

Yun Sheng cheered when she heard it and reached out to take it. Xu Qingmeng gently hit her hand and said, "Wash your hands first. Those who don't like to be clean won't get anything to eat."

Yun Sheng pouted reluctantly, but her sister-in-law always kept her word, so she had to go and wash her hands obediently.

Yun Mo also followed Yun Sheng to wash his hands, and then the two of them ran back in a hurry.

Yun Sheng likes sweet food, so he handed him a sweet one, but Yun Mo prefers salty food.

Yun Sheng took it in his hand and took a bite impatiently. His cheeks were puffed up and he said incoherently, "Sister-in-law, this is really delicious. It's different from the snacks I used to have. It's crispy and crunchy."

Although Yun Mo didn't say anything, you could tell from his satisfied expression that he liked it too.

The two little guys were eating with gusto, and Gu Yunyi just happened to come back from outside.

As soon as he entered the house, he asked, "Is there anything I can eat quickly? I haven't had time to eat lunch yet."

Xu Qingmeng glanced at Gu Yunyi in confusion, wondering how he could go out and still starve himself.

Gu Yunyi understood what she meant, shook his head, and motioned for her to continue talking later.

Xu Qingmeng handed him the snack in her hand and said, "Yes, you can eat a snack first. I'll serve you a bowl of soup and you can put the noodles in it."

The chicken soup was made from an old hen that had been waiting for an entire afternoon. Xu Qingmeng was pregnant, so He bought it specially for her.

This kind of old hen soup is more fragrant and nutritious.

She took a bowl and handed it to him, then put the noodles rolled on the chopping board into the pot. Shuiku said, "We have steamed buns and shaomai at home. You left in such a hurry this morning, why didn't you eat them? Why didn't you eat at noon?"

Gu Yunyi shook his head and sighed.

Gu Yunyi was probably extremely hungry. Even though the chicken soup was a little hot, he took a bite of the wife cake and a sip of chicken soup and finished the whole bowl of chicken soup.

"Slow down, don't rush."

After Gu Yunyi ate two wife cakes and drank a bowl of chicken soup, he felt a little better in his stomach and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was busy with some things today and missed the meal due to negligence." Gu Yunyi explained.

Xu Qingmeng thought to herself, did Gu Yunyi encounter any difficult situation? Otherwise, with his calm attitude, he would not make such a mistake.

Xu Qingmeng looked at him with suspicion.

Then she saw that the chicken noodle soup in the pot was ready, so she picked up his bowl, filled it up for him, and handed it to him.

Yun Sheng looked at his eldest brother and said, "Brother must be picky about food?"

Gu Yunyi coughed, then lowered his head in embarrassment.

He: "Why? Yun Sheng and Yun Mo are picky. You are such a grown-up, why are you also picky?"

Xu Qingmeng also smiled helplessly, thinking, how bad could this taste?

There was more food at home, and Yun Sheng and Yun Mo had become picky. The snacks from outside were no longer tasty to them, and they even ate less candies. They no longer accepted everything given by others, but became selective. This attracted a lot of praise from people, who said that the two children were becoming more and more well-educated.

Although Gu Yunyi is a little picky, he wouldn't refuse to eat a single bite!

Sure enough, after hearing what He said, Gu Yunyi's face instantly flushed, and he said softly: "The main reason is that the food is not cooked, and the meat feels a little rotten."

He was angry. "So you are disgusted with meat? Our family really has... a young lady, a young master, and a big young master!!!"

Yun Sheng and Yun Mo opened their eyes wide innocently: Aren't we talking about the eldest brother? How did they get involved again? They were really touched.

Gu Yunyi set a bad example for his younger siblings. He was already having a headache because of the problems of the two little ones!

He didn't say anything, just lowered his head and ate noodles.

Xu Qingmeng helped to smooth things over: "Yun Yi still has to take the next exam. I think he is worried that he will get sick and miss the exam. I am hungry, mother, let's eat. By the way, isn't Xun Ge coming back for dinner today?"

He brought all the food Xu Qingmeng had prepared to the table and said, "Don't go back. You won't be here this afternoon. Young Master Zhou is here. He said that Xun'er will go to the banquet with Accountant Zhou today."

Gu Yunyi heard it and asked, "Is Zhou Yuanjia here today?"

He had already gone out with the bowl, and Xu Qingmeng had already heard what He said, so she replied, "Well, mother said she came here to borrow two books from you, but she left when she saw you were not at home."
