Chapter 192: A Visitor from the Prefecture
Seeing this, Mrs. Tang went to make tea as if she was familiar with it, while Aunt Li went to clean up.
Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi were both slightly stunned when they heard this, "From the capital?"
"Well, he looks young, and they say that their shopkeeper has dealt with you before."
When the two heard this, they looked at each other and knew who was coming.
This was the noodle restaurant that Xu Qingmeng had previously cooperated with in Fucheng.
Before leaving the city, Hui Niang helped her make a lot of chili peppers with red oil, enough to last them for at least a month.
The two had discussed before that they would return to Yan County in a month to pack up and make some arrangements, and then rush to the provincial capital at the end of September or the beginning of October.
In this way, it will not affect the noodle shop's business.
Xu Qingmeng glanced at Gu Yunyi and felt strange. Although this was because Gu Yunyi was injured and might not be able to catch up.
But it’s only been a few days, the noodle shop shouldn’t run out of food so quickly!
Gu Yunyi said: "Then go and take a look."
"Yeah." Xu Qingmeng packed up simply and went to the front yard.
When Xu Qingmeng walked to the front hall, she saw the waiter of the noodle shop and knew that she and Gu Yunyi were right.
The young man stood up quickly: "Ms. Gu, long time no see."
"As soon as my mother said that, I guessed it. Did your shopkeeper ask you to come?"
Xu Qingmeng is quite familiar with this waiter. The owner of the noodle shop is not in the noodle shop every day.
The shopkeeper had only been to the yard they rented once, and after that, it was the waiter who went to get the red chili peppers every time.
Xu Qingmeng sat down and poured herself a glass of water.
When Mrs. Tang saw that the two of them had something to talk about, she tactfully went to the yard, leaving the front hall for Xu Qingmeng to talk.
The waiter scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm really sorry, Madam Gu. We had an agreement that the noodle shop would have enough for a month, but now the college entrance examination is over and many students have passed. Those with good families will come to the capital to study. After all, the teaching quality is better. Now it's almost used up."
"Boss, there is no other way. We can't just ignore this business. So I came to Yan County to find Madam Gu. I want to ask Madam Gu to help me with some more work."
Xu Qingmeng understood it in her heart. Besides being close to the examination hall, there was also a college nearby.
Gu Yunyi had said before that any student who passed the exam and whose family was slightly wealthier would go to that academy, and naturally there would be many people renting houses there.
When they first arrived, they couldn't clean up the mess for a while, so they just bought some food. The noodle shop's business was already good, and with the addition of the red chili oil, it's even better, no wonder.
The noodle shop business was booming, and the operation was expanded. The noodle shop's chef was also very capable.
With this red oil chili, many new products have been developed, and they all taste very good.
Xu Qingmeng understood, and then said: "In theory, it's a good thing for you to come to me to buy things, but you also know that it takes time to make this, and there are no materials in this house, so you will definitely not be able to take it away today."
The waiter hurriedly said, "Mrs. Gu, don't worry. The shopkeeper asked me to bring the chili powder and other ingredients."
Xu Qingmeng nodded: "In that case, my restaurant will open the day after tomorrow. I will make some time tomorrow."
"Oh, that's great, Madam Gu, just do as much as you can tomorrow." The waiter said excitedly.
Xu Qingmeng nodded: "In that case, it's settled then."
Next, we talked about money.
The price was still the same as before, but because it was their noodle shop, the owner asked the waiter to bring the money over.
Upon delivery, you can pay in full.
After the two finished talking, the waiter asked someone to move the materials down.
The shopkeeper really prepared a lot. He had half a car full of stuff. The oil he would need was also prepared in advance, loaded in barrels.
The waiter didn't come alone to carry this truck of stuff, he came with a few other guys.
The waiter ordered them to move the things to Gu's yard.
He looked at the sacks and asked, "What are these?"
Before he could finish his words, he saw several men carrying barrels of oil into the yard, and he immediately knew what they were.
Shen Jinwen did this every time, directly bringing the materials over, and then they made red oil chili peppers.
Xu Qingmeng handed over the matter to the waiter. Since the other party had too many people, it was naturally impossible for them to stay at Gu's house. After saying goodbye to Xu Qingmeng, he led everyone to the inn.
"Madam Gu, who are these people? They don't look like they are from Yan County. Are they your relatives?"
With such a big commotion, all the neighbors naturally knew about it and asked about it.
Xu Qingmeng did not intend to hide it from everyone, so she said, "No, it's a business friend."
"This looks like it's for making red chili oil. Could it be that you guys are not cooperating with the Shen family?"
In addition to the few bottles of red chili oil given away at the beginning, the Gu family also has some used in the restaurant. Later on, they have been cooperating with the Shen family. There were even many people who wanted to take advantage of the Gu family, but He refused them directly without even waiting for Xu Qingmeng to come.
Xu Qingmeng had never concealed it before, and she had no intention of hiding it now. She said, "Aunt, these are from the capital city. They have no conflict with Boss Shen's business."
“I see!”
Just like that, after a while, everyone around here knew about it, saying that the Gu family's red chili oil was incredible, and everyone in the city loved it extremely.
The big bosses in the city all came to ask for the red chili oil, bringing the ingredients.
This spread actually led to another peak in the popularity of red chili oil in Chen Ji Grocery Store.
But that’s all for later.
After seeing off the people from the provincial capital, Xu Qingmeng went back and told He and the others about the noodle shop.
"No wonder old people always say that those with skills are not afraid to travel around the world. This red chili oil is rare even for people in the capital city." Mrs. Tang said.
"The people in the city know what's good. Anything that comes from Meng Niang's hands cannot be bad." Aunt Li sighed.
"Of course not. My mother Meng's craftsmanship is absolutely top-notch." He said with confidence.
Xu Qingmeng was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Her mother-in-law was now blindly confident in her.
When Xu Qingmeng returned to the room, Gu Yunyi asked, "What's wrong? Is there something going on at the noodle shop?"
Xu Qingmeng shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just that the noodle shop's business is so good that all the prepared food was used up in a flash."
"Oh, then you'll have to work hard again."
"Mom, Sister Tang and Aunt Li are here, don't worry, I'm fine."
After Xu Qingmeng came out, the three He family members looked at the red chili peppers piled up in the yard and felt worried.
