Chapter 123 Be Yourself
At noon, Xu Qingmeng made stewed goose and some simple scallion pancakes. Everyone was sweating while eating, except Gu Yunyi, who ate two bites and then put down his chopsticks.
The others were enjoying the meal. They had good appetites to begin with, and seeing Gu Yunyi wanting to eat but unable to, they ate a lot more.
Looking at the smiling eyes of the family, Gu Yunyi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his eyes became even gentler.
It’s great to have you!
That day, Xu Qingmeng and Xinting were chatting and they sat in the yard.
"Aunt, Sister Chen asked me to tell you that the pastry chef at Suxiang Pavilion has changed. I heard that he is from Beijing. Today, I saw that the shopkeeper was very respectful to him, nodding and bowing. He was very respectful."
"Master from the capital?"
"Yeah, and I saw Zhong Xin was here too. Sister Chen also had someone tell Madam Huang about it. I wanted to go to Suxiang Pavilion to ask around, but Madam Huang said that we just need to do our own thing."
Xu Qingmeng nodded and said, "That's what Madam Huang said. You just need to do your job well. Let's not talk about how the masters in Beijing are. Even if there are ten or eight of them, we won't be afraid. As for Zhong Xin, since she is no longer in our store, it is her freedom to choose where to go."
"Well, I absolutely believe it. I think the dim sum from Wufangzhai is not as good as the ones made by you, aunt." Xinting said playfully.
Xu Qingmeng accepted this blatant flattery and said to Xinting, "After all the things at home are settled, it's time for our Jinxiuxuan to serve new pastries. Tell them tomorrow that whoever practices the pastries they have can learn new pastries with you later."
"Everyone will be happy."
Jinxiuxuan's monthly salary is linked to the number of dim sum sold every day. The more dim sum you can control, the more money you can naturally get, but it will also be more tiring.
However, this kind of work allows one to learn skills and earn more money, and even though it is a bit more tiring, everyone is willing to do it.
Xu Xinting was actually the most tired. She not only had to learn how to make pastries, but she also had to learn how to make drinks. However, Xu Qingmeng did not intend to restrict Xinting to this, so she also had to learn how to make dishes every day.
The next morning, Gu's Restaurant was busy as usual. Although those people did not ask questions, after all, the guests served by Gu's Restaurant were not all people from the surrounding area. There were still many people who asked questions while buying breakfast.
At the beginning, He was quite patient, but later, seeing that this was wasting time, she simply hid in the kitchen and asked Mrs. Tang and Aunt Li to go to the front.
Aunt Li is a quiet person and gives people a very cold feeling, so no one comes forward to ask anything.
Mrs. Tang is a person who smiles at everyone she meets, but she doesn't talk much. She prefers to be a listener rather than talking.
Whenever someone asked her about the Gu family, she would say she didn't know. If someone followed up and asked her about it, she would just smile and shake her head.
When everyone saw the two of them like this, their desire to gossip instantly died down.
In this way, nothing went wrong at the Gu family restaurant until Xu Qingmeng woke up.
Seeing that Xu Qing had woken up from her dream and was in good spirits, He packed some buns and asked her to deliver them to Jinxiuxuan.
Xinting got up late today and left in a hurry without eating in the morning.
Xu Qing dreamed that Jinxiuxuan opened early every day, and there might be people in the kitchen who had not eaten, so he packed some more.
Xu Qingmeng seldom goes out on weekdays, and now that she is pregnant, she goes out even less. She still knows most of the people on West Street, but when she arrives at East Street, there are very few people she knows.
It was very quiet along the way. Just before entering the store, she thought of what Xinting had said to her yesterday and took a look inside out of curiosity.
You don’t know until you see it. At first glance, Suxiang Pavilion is indeed a little different.
It looked like it was about to close, but now, looking inside, there were still some people standing outside. She could clearly smell the same scent as her own home.
After all, Zhong Xin is in it, so it's not surprising that she can do it. Speaking of which, this little girl's learning ability is really good. If the little girl studies hard, Xu Qingmeng may focus on training her, but...
Then I smelled a salty and fragrant smell, which was pretty good. I thought it must be the work of the master from Beijing. After all, he was from Beijing, so he must have some skills.
"Why is the boss here!" Madam Chen had just come out of the snack and saw Xu Qingmeng at a glance.
Xu Qingmeng was holding buns and pies in her hands. She gave one to Madam Chen and another to Shopkeeper Yang.
"Sister Chen, Shopkeeper Yang, I feel that the buns and pies made at home are pretty good today. Have you had breakfast with them? Would you like to try them?"
You have to try the buns and pies at Gu’s Restaurant again even if you have already eaten them. After all, this Gu’s Restaurant is so popular that you won’t be able to eat them if you go too late.
It’s not that Manager Yang’s family is short of money, it’s just that he and the Gu family are going in opposite directions and are not on the same route, but they have always been thinking about each other.
Madam Chen was reluctant to let go.
Shopkeeper Yang's portion included a braised pork bun and a pie, both of which are the most famous dishes of Gu's restaurant.
When he took it, it was still hot, so he quickly opened the oil paper.
Xu Qingmeng ignored it and went to the kitchen with Chen Niangzi.
Several people in the kitchen were very surprised by Xu Qingmeng's arrival. Without Zhong Xin, the remaining people were sensible and knew how to be grateful.
Although they could not help but have some gossip in their minds, they also understood that it was not their business and they just had to do their own duties, so they didn't say anything.
Xu Qingmeng called Xinting and said to everyone except Chen Niangzi, "I brought some buns and pies and put them in the back hall. If you don't have anything to eat in the morning, you can go over and have a taste."
Xu Qingmeng called Xinting away, and everyone in the kitchen who could delay their work put down their work and followed.
Of course, there were also a few who were busy making the oven and could not leave, so they sped up their movements.
"The food the host brought must be breakfast food sold in the restaurant. I wonder if there are any braised pork buns. Gu's restaurant is famous for them. They are delicious! But they are too expensive."
"I've eaten it. Although it's a bit expensive, the meat inside is really good and big. And the taste is unforgettable once you've tasted it."
"I really think that siu mai is the most delicious food in the world."
"No, no, no, there's also the pie, it's delicious. No, I have to finish this pot quickly and then go get one to try."
Everyone came back with their favorites, and each of them not only had one in their hands but also had one in their mouths.
