Chapter 153 The shopkeeper is really evil
Zhou Yuanjia originally thought that it would be fine if he failed the exam, but since he met Xinting, his idea changed.
He must work hard and try to pass the exam so that he can tell Xu Xinting.
Before Zhou Yuanjia returned to his room, he touched Xiao Jinbao's face.
Everyone felt more and more that Zhou Yuanjia had a goal, and he would definitely work hard in this entrance examination.
Xu Qingmeng's mind moved slightly, and she turned to look at Gu Yunyi.
I saw that his eyes were also on Yuanbao, and then he looked at Xu Qingmeng's belly.
Sure enough, when a man reaches a certain age, he all wants to be pampered by a woman.
Xu Qingmeng's hand subconsciously touched her belly, her eyes were gentle and her face was kind.
"Are you feeling unwell? Stop thinking too much." I felt a heat beside my ears and heard a man's low voice.
Xu Qingmeng raised her head and found that he had walked to her side without her noticing. Then, she found that he had held her hand without her noticing.
"No, I'm not thinking about anything." She looked at Gu Yunyi and smiled gently.
In the next few days, Xu Qingmeng and Hui Niang'er went out to set up their stalls at noon and afternoon every day.
Fang Ziheng has to bring gold ingots every day, and Gu Yunyi will go to help when he has free time from reading.
The reputation of Xu Qingmeng's cold dishes gradually spread, and soon, everyone who lived nearby knew that there was a cold dish stall on this street, and the taste was amazing!
There were a constant stream of customers every day. After all, Xu Qingmeng and Hui Niang were only two people, and there was also a pregnant woman, so their ability was limited.
There was only so much that the two of them could do, which of course led to frequent complaints from customers about not being able to buy anything.
The two had no other choice but to apologize with a smile.
On the third day, it was time to deliver the chili oil to the noodle shop as agreed.
Gu Yunyi and Xu Qingmeng went together and asked the shopkeeper how much he wanted this time.
When the shopkeeper saw Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi, it was like seeing the God of Wealth, and his eyes narrowed into slits from smiling.
“We sold this cold noodle with red chili oil in our store. We added eight cents to each bowl. On the first day, it didn’t sell very well because people complained about the high price.
But, I tell you, there are people who are not short of money. They ate two bowls in a row, and the news spread by the next day. One third of the money was used up in one day. There were even more people yesterday, and it was almost not enough.
Madam Gu, look, from now on, send thirty kilograms every three days, ten kilograms of mildly spicy food, and twenty kilograms of spicy food. Right now, the customer is likely to order more."
After hearing this, Xu Qingmeng couldn't help but think that this shopkeeper was really corrupt, charging eight cents for just a small spoonful of red chili oil.
But I just thought about it in my mind. After all, this is a provincial capital. The consumption level here is not comparable to that of a small county town.
Moreover, the shopkeeper is able to sell it at such a high price, which shows his ability.
This also gave Xu Qingmeng absolute confidence in the food market in this capital city. After all, such a small noodle shop could sell at such a high price.
Gu Yunyi was worried about Xu Qingmeng's health. He looked at her without saying anything.
Xu Qingmeng also understood, and signaled to him that he could do it, and then said to the shopkeeper: "Okay, but shopkeeper, you also know that if I have more in my current body, it will not work. This is already my limit."
The shopkeeper nodded quickly: "I know, I know. I'm really going to trouble you, Madam Gu. Look, there are so many at once. When do you think it will be ready? You don't have to send them. I'll send someone to get them directly."
Xu Qingmeng also knew about it. The shopkeeper just said that it was out of stock and that they would be served at noon. The store would not do without it.
"The materials are ready. It will take about an hour. You can ask someone to come get them." Xu Qingmeng thought for a moment and said.
In reality, it shouldn't take more than two hours, but she still added extra time just in case anything went wrong, and she would have time to remedy the situation.
Xu Qingmeng and the others also need to use it on a daily basis, and Gu Yunyi is lucky. He went to several grocery stores and they all had ground chili powder, which saved Xu Qingmeng a lot of trouble.
The shopkeeper agreed, and Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi walked back.
Xu Qingmeng returned home and had just finished making the chili peppers. Before the agreed time, the shopkeeper sent someone over.
The waiter who entertained them last time had a smile on his face and was holding a big watermelon in his hand, which looked to weigh about ten kilograms.
"Mrs. Gu, I'm so sorry. A lot of people suddenly came to the store and asked for this. The shopkeeper asked me to come and take a look in advance. This watermelon belongs to the shopkeeper's relative, who brought it from the countryside. It's very sweet, so he asked me to bring it over for you to try."
"It's okay, it's all ready. Thank your boss for me." Xu Qingmeng said with a smile, and pointed to the red chili peppers that were cooling down on the side.
"I'll install it for you right away!"
"Okay!"
Hui Niang took the big watermelon from Xiao Er. Xiao Yuanbao was very curious. He patted the watermelon with his hands and looked up at his mother: "Watermelon, watermelon, eat!"
"You little foodie!"
The watermelons had been exposed to the sun all the way and were very hot, so Hui Niang went to fetch a bucket of well water and put the watermelons in it to keep them cool.
When Yuanbao saw his mother put the watermelon in the bucket, he ran directly to the bucket and squatted, staring at it without blinking.
Everyone laughed out loud at his amusement.
Thirty kilograms of red chili peppers were packed into two oil barrels and carried away by the waiter.
Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi walked him out the door. As soon as they reached the door, they saw Sun Jingyi with an angry face and was about to go in.
"sister in law."
When Su Jingyi saw Xu Qingmeng, Gu Yunyi and the people who followed them out, the anger on her face suddenly subsided a lot.
Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Come in and sit down."
Sun Jingyi didn't say anything, nor did she go in. She just waited at the door.
Gu Yunyi chatted with Xu Qingmeng and the waiter for a few words. The two watched each other leave, looked at each other, and then turned to look at Sun Jingyi.
"I haven't seen you for two days. How come you have time to come here today?" Xu Qingmeng asked.
Sun Jingyi didn't answer. She stuck her head out and took a look outside: "Sister-in-law, why did that man look so familiar? He seemed to be the waiter at the noodle shop where we ate the day we first arrived."
"Yeah, it's him."
Sun Jingyi looked curious: "Why is he here? Sister-in-law, did you know each other before?"
Xu Qingmeng glanced at Gu Yunyi, who understood immediately. Without waiting for Xu Qingmeng to speak, he said, "Where's Brother Jiang? Why didn't he come with you?"
