Chapter 10 How the two get along
After hearing what He said, Xu Qingmeng's face instantly turned red and she subconsciously lowered her head even lower. How could she be considered a lucky star? If her original body hadn't drugged Gu Yunyi, she might have recovered already.
That fortune teller was just a half-baked one, and was hired by the original body in order to marry Gu Yunyi. What was the point in thanking the Buddha? If she hadn't come through the book, this family would have been doomed to fall apart.
After they finished their meal, He and Xu Qingmeng began to count this morning's earnings.
A total of 240 buns and 40 pies were sold, with a total revenue of 668 coins.
There is still some dry goods left from yesterday. After deducting various expenses, I made about three hundred coins. I already have flour at home, so I didn't calculate it very carefully, but it's about the same.
"So much? Three hundred coins a day, that's nine taels a month. I never thought I could earn so much money. It's more than your father-in-law made when he was alive." He was excited.
"Mom, you can't calculate like that. Our family doesn't need to pay rent, and the firewood was all sent by my brother and his family. These are not even considered costs."
When He thought about it, this statement was indeed true. But even so, He was extremely happy. After all, since the death of the head of the family, this was the first time she felt that she had hope in life.
After the two of them calculated all this, Xu Qing dreamed that there were some pig offal sent by the butcher's stall owner at home, so he thought about braising it first. However, he also needed to buy some pig hearts, pig trotters, chickens, ducks, tofu, dried tofu, etc. However, there were not many spices at home, so he had to buy some more.
However, the spices used in modern times were all traditional Chinese medicines at that time, so she might need to go to the pharmacy. However, Xu Qingmeng also had to buy vegetables and a steamer. She saw a grinding wheel in the yard, so she could provide soy milk in the morning and make tofu pudding later. Xu Qingmeng liked this very much, but she didn't like sweet food, she preferred salty food.
He saw Xu Qingmeng frowning and asked hurriedly, "What's the matter?"
Xu Qingmeng expressed her worries, and He quickly said, "What's there to worry about? Just write down the spices you want to buy on a piece of paper. I can't read, but the apprentice in the medicine shop must be able to read!"
Xu Qingmeng slapped his head. Yes, how could he have forgotten this? But when he thought of his handwriting, his face drooped again.
"What happened again?"
"Mom, I guess only I can understand what I write."
"I thought it was some big deal. Have you forgotten the scholar in our family?"
Xu Qingmeng then remembered the big man in the room, but thinking of the embarrassment just now, her face turned red again, but she still walked into the room carefully and stammered,
“That…that.”
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Gu Yunyi interrupted her and said coldly.
"I'm going to buy some groceries, and I want my mother to buy some spices. But the clerk in the pharmacy probably won't be able to read my handwriting, so I want you to write it for me."
After Xu Qingmeng finished speaking, she lowered her head even lower, almost burying it in her chest. She was afraid that Gu Yunyi would refuse, and even more afraid that he would laugh at her.
There was silence in the room for a while, and Gu Yunyi did not answer immediately, which made Xu Qingmeng even more uneasy.
After a while, Gu Yunyi stood up and prepared to get out of bed. Xu Qingmeng came over to help him. Gu Yunyi sat down at the table.
"Go ahead."
The two simple words came out of Gu Yunyi's mouth. Although it was cold, Xu Qingmeng's tense heart relaxed instantly.
She quickly told Gu Yunyi what spices she wanted to buy, and he wrote them down one by one.
After Gu Yunyi finished writing, he handed it to Xu Qingmeng. She took the paper in her hand, looked at the words on it, and couldn't help but praise him in her heart. As expected, a big boss is a big boss. However, she just sighed and didn't dare to delay any longer. After all, she had to hurry to buy things.
Gu Yunyi looked at Xu Qingmeng who left with the paper. This woman was really something. She didn't even say thank you after using it. However, his cooking skills were really good.
Xu Qingmeng took the paper and hurried to find He. The two prepared to act separately. He went to buy spices. He also said that she would buy the steamer, and let Xu Qingmeng go buy vegetables directly.
But it’s not easy to distribute the two little ones at home.
There was only Gu Yunyi at home, and He was a little worried, but the two little guys wanted to go out with Xu Qingmeng.
Xiao Yunsheng took Xu Qingmeng's hand and was about to go out.
Yun Mo simply grabbed Yun Sheng's clothes and stopped her from going.
"I'll go today. You went yesterday."
Yun Sheng was unwilling to do so. "Brother is a man. Mother said that men and women should not touch each other. You have to stay at home."
Yun Mo was blocked by Yun Sheng's words and was unable to refute. He could only let go of her hands angrily and turned away without looking at them.
When the twins are getting along well, they can wear the same pants, but when they are quarreling, they want to strangle each other to death.
Xu Qingmeng had never taken care of a child before and had no idea what to do. She was at a loss. He told her not to worry about it and that they would just have a quarrel and then something would happen.
When Xu Qingmeng came out after packing up, the two little guys really had results.
"Did you two come to any conclusion?"
"Yes, let my brother go with you, sister-in-law."
Xu Qingmeng looked puzzled, "Why are you so well behaved?"
"Of course, Yun Sheng is a good boy." Yun Sheng said with a smile.
"Well, my Yun Sheng is the best. Sister-in-law will come back to make you something delicious. Just be good, ha."
Xu Qingmeng came to the street. The stall selling pork was the same one from yesterday, but she didn't recognize him yesterday. But this place is so small that now she knew Xu Qingmeng was the fat daughter-in-law that the Gu family restaurant at the end of the street had married.
The others may not be easy to recognize, but considering Xu Qingmeng's figure it is much easier to recognize.
The meat stall owner seemed even more polite. He gave Xu Qingmeng only the best quality meat and offered a lot of favorable prices. After all, how much meat could one get on the street every day?
But I heard that today was the first day that the Gu family was selling buns and the business was booming. If he could sell meat to them for a long time, even if they had it delivered to his home every day, he would be willing to do so.
Xu Qing dreamed that since she was going to make braised food, she bought more, six pig trotters and four pig ears, and then she gestured at the pieces of meat she liked.
"Give me half of this, and two pounds of this."
"Okay," the butcher packed up the things and casually threw in the pork offal that was not sold.
Xu Qingmeng saw that no one really wanted to buy it, so she turned to the stall owner and said, "Shopkeeper, what do you do with your pigs when they are low-level?"
"Madam Gu, these are what you are talking about. Usually, they are reserved for wealthy families. Their housekeepers will buy them to feed their dogs. After all, they are cheap. Or they are given away, but many people won't want them. I saw that you didn't dislike them yesterday, so I thought of giving you some more today."
"Thank you so much. Please leave all these to me from now on. Just give me a better price."
"Madam Gu, do you really want it?"
"Um."
"Okay, okay, I will definitely give you a discount, don't worry."
Xu Qingmeng bought a lot of things today because it was her first time making braised food. The first pot of braising soup had to be cooked well, so the ingredients had to be sufficient so that the braising soup could be well maintained in the future.
