Chapter 15 Braised Food
Xu Qingmeng's braised dishes are full of seasonings. She told He that if the guests need it, they can add some braising soup to mix it together.
After He understood, Xu Qingmeng went in. There were still some mung bean cakes left, so she went in and took them out. If anyone bought more, she would give the customer an extra piece.
There was still some tofu pudding left, but when Second Brother Xu came, Xu Qingmeng took all the tofu pudding back to Second Brother Xu.
"Mrs. Gu, this fresh food smells so good. How much do you want to sell it for?"
"That's right. I heard you talking about this braised food this morning. But it looks like braised pork, isn't it?"
"But this fragrance is killing me. It's everywhere."
The smell of the buns in the morning really attracted a lot of people, so there were quite a lot of people coming to support it.
He smiled and walked forward, explaining, "This is not ordinary braised meat, this is the braised meat specially made by my daughter-in-law. You can try it, the taste is extraordinary."
As she spoke, He picked up the small tasting dishes on the side and handed them out to the guests one by one. Even if the dishes tasted great, they were still expensive, so tasting was necessary.
After tasting it, some people nodded in praise, and some couldn't help smacking their lips as they savored the taste.
Soon, those who were relatively well-off would buy some, and some who were really greedy would not buy meat, but some vegetables, potatoes, tofu, etc.
In the end, more vegetarian dishes were cooked, but they were also the first to be sold out. There weren’t many meat dishes to begin with, but there were still some left in the end.
He was not worried either. After all, she was very confident in Xu Qingmeng's cooking skills. As long as they had tasted it, they would definitely remember it.
As long as they are thinking about it, they will definitely come next time. If they come once, they will come twice. After all, today is the first day, and many people don’t know that their Gu’s Restaurant has reopened to sell food.
Seeing that it was getting late, He was about to pack up his stall and go back, when he saw someone walking towards him in a hurry.
"Shopkeeper, have you sold out all the food?" A nobleman came over hurriedly.
He was delighted when she heard that. Yes, yes, when she opened it, there were still two pig's trotters, a piece of braised meat, and a big bowl of pig intestines left.
After all, Xu Qingmeng sold the braised pork intestines at the same price as meat. Even though some people tried it and found it tasted really good, few people bought it as they thought it was not worth the price.
The young man's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect the store also makes pig intestines?"
"Have you eaten it, sir?"
The nobleman nodded, his face full of nostalgia, "I was lucky enough to eat it once when I was traveling in the south a few years ago. The taste was really unique, but it is rare, so I haven't eaten it for many years."
"Then Sir, would you like to try it?"
He said with a smile, and at the same time brought out the bowl of braised pork intestines, which immediately filled the air with fragrance.
The nobleman sniffed it, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "This smell is really nostalgic."
As he said this, he took the chopsticks handed to him by He, picked up a piece of pig intestines and put it into his mouth, savoring it carefully.
"Well, it tastes good." The nobleman nodded with satisfaction. "This pig intestine is well-marinated and has just the right texture. It not only retains the freshness of the pig intestine, but also removes the fishy smell. It's really rare. It's much better than what I've eaten before."
After hearing this, He's face was filled with joy. "Thank you for your compliment, sir. This is specially made by my daughter-in-law. If you like it, you may take some back with you."
The nobleman smiled slightly, "That's exactly what I meant."
As he said that, he bought all the remaining braised pork intestines, and asked He to pack up the remaining pig's trotters and braised meat as well.
He was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She quickly packed up the things and gave the remaining pieces of mung bean cake to the young master. She said,
"Sir, this is the mung bean cake made by my daughter-in-law. Go back and try it. It's delicious, sweet but not greasy."
The nobleman thanked him and asked, "I wonder if there will be any tomorrow?"
"Yes, yes, sir, just come back tomorrow. I have steamed buns and tofu pudding in the morning. Come and have a try."
The young master nodded and turned to leave.
He looked at his departing back, secretly delighted in her heart, then quickly packed up the stall, and closed the door after everything in the front hall was tidied up.
In the kitchen, Xu Qingmeng was kneading dough, while Gu Yunyi, Yun Sheng and He Yunmo were serving the dishes.
Xu Qingmeng had been busy all day today, so she didn't make anything complicated. She just made something very simple. Before the dough had just been kneaded and had yet to rise, she tore off a piece, put some chopped green onions in it, and simply baked a few scallion pancakes.
Xu Qingmeng had saved some of the braised food, so she cut a plate each of meat and vegetable, fried some spicy and sour potato shreds, and stewed some pork bone soup, which was also very good.
When the food was served, Xu Qingmeng drank a bowl of soup, which warmed her body a lot, and then she started to eat.
She cooks quickly and neatly but eats slowly and leisurely. Although she is fat, her every move is elegant and calm.
Gu Yunyi was observing casually at first, but after watching for a while, he couldn't take his eyes away.
He discovered that Xu Qingmeng had become a completely different person since she drugged him and raped him that day.
But the person is still the same person, but his personality and whole temperament are different.
This kind of temperament is not something that can be deliberately pretended, but it comes out naturally. I think she may not even be aware of it.
“Ahem.”
Gu Yunyi suddenly came back to his senses, and then met He's eyes. His usually expressionless face suddenly turned red.
Xu Qingmeng didn't understand why, and then stared at He, thinking that she had caught a cold, and asked quickly,
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Did you catch a cold? Is your throat uncomfortable?"
He was stunned when she heard this, then she realized that Xu Qingmeng didn't notice Gu Yunyi's abnormality, so she smiled and waved her hand.
"It's okay, Mom just ate a little too fast, it's okay."
Xu Qingmeng was relieved, but still couldn't help but remind him,
"Mom, it's still a little cold in the morning and evening, so you better be careful."
"Okay, mom knows. It was because Yun Yi was not in good health before that you slept in separate rooms. Now that Yun Yi is well, shouldn't you sleep in the same room?"
Xu Qingmeng looked at Gu Yunyi, and then quickly said, "Mom, my husband has just gotten better. I'm too fat. If I accidentally press on my husband, I'm afraid his body won't be able to bear it. Let's wait and see."
Hearing this, Gu Yunyi glanced at Xu Qingmeng. Before, she wanted to stick with him all the time, wanted to have sex with him, and even drugged him. But now, she refused. This made Gu Yunyi unable to understand her at all.
After hearing this, He was a little disappointed, but she thought that what Xu Qingmeng said made sense, so she didn't force it. She just said,
"Then you can do whatever you want. That's all I'm saying."
Xu Qing dreamed that He didn't insist on this topic anymore, and his tense heart instantly relaxed.
Gu Yunyi became unhappy when he saw her like this, his face became increasingly darker. He didn't even dislike her!
