Chapter 193 Noodle House

"There are so many things. We can't finish them in one day. And can your body handle it?" He said with a frown.

"Mom, I thought you could find two more people nearby to help. Just go and ask Boss Shen if he needs any goods. If he does, make them tomorrow and continue to make Shen's the day after tomorrow, and then the restaurant will reopen."

Xu Qingmeng originally thought that the dim sum shop's monthly revenue was about right, but who would have thought that the shop's business would decline drastically in the second half of the month.

When we go to the provincial capital, we have to buy a yard, right? It is inevitable to open a shop and do business, which will cost a lot, right?

The price of this red chili oil is very high. If you make these two batches, you can get a lot of money.

He nodded, "Okay, I'll go ask now."

Time is tight and there is no time to waste, so He went out after saying this.

Xu Qingmeng and the other two started to get busy.

Most of the goods in the city are already ground chili powder, which saves them a lot of effort.

He left in a hurry and came back quickly. She came back after a while and went to look for Aunt Liu from the next street.

Aunt Liu and Mrs. He have a very good relationship. Whenever Mrs. He said she wanted to look for someone, Aunt Liu said she would do it since she was free at home anyway.

"Mother Meng, if there is anything you need done, just tell me. Don't think your Aunt Liu is stupid and can't do it well."

Xu Qingmeng smiled and said, "Aunt, what are you talking about? Mother always praises you at home for doing things neatly and efficiently."

A few of the people knew each other, so after a few brief words, they started to get busy.

Aunt Liu comes from a farming family. She is very strong at the stove and is a good hand at housework.

Like the eldest sister-in-law of the Xu family, she quickly got the hang of it and, following Xu Qingmeng's example, started frying peppers in the big pot next to her.

Soon, the five people were busy working.

Xinting came back early and saw everyone busy, so she joined in to help.

The Gu Family Restaurant was filled with the aroma of chili peppers all afternoon, and it only faded a little when it got a little dark.

"Okay, it's already late today, so let's just do this."

He was also a little out of breath, and Xu Qingmeng also shook her arms. She was very tired after this afternoon. Xu Qingmeng was in poor health, and even after Xinting came back to take over, she was still a little tired.

"Sister Tang, Aunt Li, Aunt Liu, thank you for your hard work today."

Aunt Liu waved her hand: "It's not hard, it's not hard."

She used to go to the fields to farm frequently, but it was only in recent years that her son became successful and brought them to the county town, where they have enjoyed a few years of happiness.

Sister Tang and Aunt Li also said that it was not hard at all.

After gathering their things, the three of them prepared to go back.

Of course Xu Qingmeng and He wanted to keep the three people for dinner. It was already dark, and there was no reason to let them go back with empty stomachs.

Xinting came back and was already cooking dinner.

"No, no, don't be so polite. You still have to come to work tomorrow!"

"That's right, I still have to go back and cook for the head of the household. Auntie, Meng Niang, I'm leaving now."

"I'm leaving too. I still have work to do at home."

"Wait, don't panic."

Xu Qingmeng signaled He to keep the people, and she went in to hand the snacks that Xinting brought back to the three people.

The three of them did not insist on refusing, and finally one of them left with a snack.

After sending those people away, Xu Qingmeng came to the kitchen.

"How is it? Are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, aunt, go sit down and rest for a while."

Xinting made stir-fried pork, which was made by slicing pork belly, stir-frying it and then adding fresh chili peppers.

The taste is spicy and fresh, and it goes best with rice.

What Xinting made was a little different from what Xu Qingmeng made. She stir-fried it for a longer time, so the surface had a slightly burnt aroma, but the soft texture inside was not affected at all. However, the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes.

Xu Qingmeng was very pleased. This little girl had only been following her for a few months and had been exposed to snacks even later. It was already very good that she could have this now.

The little girl's talent is really excellent.

"In a few months, we will go to the capital together. You will have to learn more in the future, so you are not allowed to complain about the hard work."

As soon as Gu Yunyi's health gets a little better, Xu Qingmeng and the others will set out for the provincial capital. This is something everyone knows.

Xu Qingmeng and He never discussed this matter in public, and Xun Ge'er and Xin Ting never asked about it.

Xun Ge'er is easier to deal with, as he is still learning from Accountant Zhou, so he definitely won't be able to go with them for the time being.

After all, if he went to the provincial capital, where could he find a master like Zhou the Accountant who could teach him everything he knew?

Xinting didn’t know.

First, Xinting is doing very well in Jinxiuxuan now. She is the only one who can make small cakes now. The monthly salary she gets is not small, which is enough for her to find a good husband in Yan County and also to be looked up to by her husband's family.

Second, as the Gu family’s hometown, the Gu Family Restaurant must not be sold, and the Gu Family Restaurant must continue to operate.

Since this shop is going to be run, Xinting must be the best candidate. She can cook, make dumplings, and braised food. If there is any problem with the dim sum shop and Xu Qingmeng cannot be contacted, they can come to her.

Xu Qingmeng didn't say anything, but Xinting was still feeling nervous.

When Xinting heard Xu Qingmeng's words, she was stunned for a moment.

"Little... aunt, can I go to the provincial capital with you?" She opened her mouth and asked nervously.

Xu Qingmeng was stunned for a moment, looked at her and said, "Of course, although you are my niece, you are also my apprentice. If you don't follow me to the capital, where are you going?"

Xu Qingmeng thought she couldn't leave her hometown, so she said earnestly, "Xinting, you don't have to be reluctant to leave. Yan County is your uncle's home. We still have to come back during the holidays. Besides, the world is big, and we can't just stay in such a small county for the rest of our lives. Some horizons are not what you see in books. You need to walk out of them step by step."

Xinting felt a lump in her nose and quickly lowered her head so that Xu Qingmeng wouldn't see her.

Growing up, her mother only knew to make her work, and told her to find a good family in the future and help her younger brother. Her father had to work and could not always care about her. She was not a sweet talker, and her grandfather was the village chief, so he could not pay any attention to her.

Before, when Xu Qingmeng was around, she could eat every meal full. But after Xu Qingmeng got married, she could only work and could not eat enough until she came to the Gu family.

In the past, Xu Qingmeng only ate and slept. Even though everyone thought that Xu Qingmeng was a bad person, in Xu Xinting's heart, her aunt was a good person.

This was also the first time that Xu Qingmeng taught her so patiently, reasoned with her, and talked to her about life plans.

She sniffed, secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "Little aunt, no, Master, I will go. I will go to the capital city with you. No matter where you go in the future, I will follow you. You can't leave me."

Xu Qingmeng looked up and saw her slightly red eyes. Then he realized what was wrong with this girl and his heart softened.
