Chapter 212 Surprise
Gu Yunyi was very grateful. When he first arrived in the city, he hadn't even arranged his family yet, but Xu Qingmeng had already thought of everything.
She not only drags her heavy body to manage the household, but also plans and arranges all her mother's tasks.
Gu Yunyi really felt like he had found a treasure, and of course he was also thankful that his looks were good enough.
Xu Qingmeng rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's no use saying nice things. Now we should think about how to make some money. I really like that shop. Although I can't do anything about it now, I think the shop will be gone after the baby is born."
Gu Yunyi thought for a moment and said, "How about we go to a noodle shop tomorrow?"
Xu Qingmeng patted his head and said, "Oh, right, how could I have forgotten about it? But I haven't seen the waiter come for a month, maybe he has already prepared the formula?"
After all, the shopkeeper sent someone to ask for so many red chili peppers last time, and he didn't ask again for such a long time. I guess the chef in his own house has prepared the recipe.
However, Xu Qingmeng was not too disappointed, after all, she was mentally prepared.
Gu Yunyi was silent for a moment, then he said soothingly: "My wife's cooking skills are here. Even if there is no such way, the family's current expenses are enough, and there is also a snack shop. Besides, you are going to give birth in two months, so there is no need to be so anxious to make money. I, your husband, am easy to support."
"Besides, even if you can't make money, you can still make a living by copying books and writing calligraphy for me. I won't let you and your unborn child sleep on the streets."
Xu Qingmeng was amused. "If I rely on you to copy books, I guess my child and I will only be able to eat coarse food, not to mention meat."
"My wife is still saying that you cook so much meat every day, but she doesn't eat much. You are too thin now."
Xu Qingmeng looked back at Gu Yunyi and said, "Could it be that my husband likes me better than before?"
"Ahem." Gu Yunyi coughed twice, "That's not necessary."
"Hahaha."
The next day, when Xu Qing woke up from her dream, Gu Yunyi was already reading. After she finished her meal, he accompanied her to the noodle shop.
The noodle shop was still some distance away from the Gu family, but not too far. It was almost noon when the two of them arrived there, because they walked slowly.
Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi remembered that when they first came here, the noodle shop didn't even have a decent signboard. Now when they came again, they could tell from the outside that it had been renovated.
After all, the last time I came here, I heard from the waiter that the boss had also bought the house next door and connected it up.
While the two were still watching, they saw the waiter who was seeing off the guests inside saw them.
"Mr. Gu, Madam Gu, is it really you two? Please come in."
"Let's go in and take a look."
The store has been renovated, the space is much larger, and the tables and chairs are all brand new.
Originally the tables in the lobby were placed randomly, but now it seems that they have been rearranged. It is full of guests. It is not yet dinner time, so I guess business is really booming.
The waiter was very enthusiastic and took the two of them directly to the inner room.
"The shopkeeper asked me to go to Yan County two days ago, but unfortunately I didn't meet you. It just so happens that the shopkeeper is also in the store today."
"Really? What's the matter with going to Yan County?"
"The red chili peppers in the store have been almost used up. You said before that you would come to the capital. The shopkeeper calculated the time and it might be almost time, but I haven't seen you come yet, so I asked me to take a look."
“So that’s how it is!”
The waiter knocked on the door, spoke twice to the inside, and then heard the voice of the shopkeeper.
The door was opened, and the shopkeeper said with enthusiasm: "Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, we are finally expecting you to come."
"The shopkeeper."
The three of them didn't exchange pleasantries much, just briefly exchanged greetings and sat down.
"Dashan, go get me a cup of tea."
"well!"
"I heard from Dashan that you asked him to go to Yan County to find us?"
The shopkeeper immediately said, "Isn't it that the red chili oil is almost used up? You said earlier that you would come to the capital, but there is no news from you, so I thought of asking Dashan to go again."
"It's true that I was delayed for some time. I heard from Dashan earlier that he should come to congratulate you for expanding your business. It's not because of the move that I was delayed. So, I came as soon as I finished my work."
"If you didn't come, I would have gone to look for you. I think we should add more red chili oil. I wonder if Madam Gu can do it?"
"Our young master took over the family shop and wanted to make a career out of it. He plans to open a few more noodle shops and has already started. Is it about the chili oil?"
When Xu Qingmeng heard this, her eyes lit up. She originally thought the shopkeeper wanted to say that they had developed a formula, but unexpectedly he gave her a surprise.
"Of course, that's no problem."
"That's good. I was worried about Madam Gu's health. It's great to hear Madam Gu's affirmation."
The boss has actually tried his own blend, but the results were just not that good?
That's why they had to go to Yan County. The shopkeeper had personally tasted Madam Gu's cooking, so he naturally wouldn't do such a thankless task.
In this case, even if it is the Gu family's red chili oil, I think Mrs. Gu will consider their noodle shop first in the future.
"Where does Madam Gu live now? I'll have someone transport the materials over this afternoon."
Gu Yunyi said, "Poplar Street, you'll know when you get there by asking."
"Very good."
"Boss, I wonder if I could make a request for you." Gu Yunyi said after a moment of silence.
"Mr. Gu, if you have anything to say, please speak up."
"We have just arrived in the city, I wonder if the shopkeeper can give us some advance money?"
"I was wondering what it was. No problem, Master Gu, I'll get it for you right away. Please wait a moment."
The shopkeeper left. Xu Qingmeng looked at Gu Yunyi and said, "Why do you think the shopkeeper agrees to pay us part of the money first?"
"In fact, you have also thought of it. The owner also asked a master to study the red chili oil, but it was unsuccessful. Otherwise, they would not have prepared so many materials in advance. Since we came to this city, they naturally know that we can do business. I think the red chili oil will not only be supplied to their noodle shop in the future. But after all, they are the first. If you can give us convenience now, I think if another noodle shop comes to you for cooperation in the future, they will think of them first, right?"
Xu Qingmeng was thoughtful. It seemed that this boss was not a simple person.
After a while, the shopkeeper came back.
"Mr. Gu, this is one thousand taels. The rest will be settled as soon as the chili oil is ready. What do you think?"
"No problem, it's really troublesome."
"If that's the case, I hope Madam Gu can think of our noodle shop first when selling in the future."
Xu Qingmeng looked at Gu Yunyi and realized that what he said was right. She secretly gave him a thumbs up.
