Chapter 293: Delayed meal?
At this time, Gu Yunyi was taking Sixth Master through the private rooms to the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard was not big, but Xu Qingmeng had left behind several rooms and a small living room when he renovated it.
This is the place Xu Qingmeng reserved for himself and his family to rest.
After Gu Yunyi had Sixth Master served tea and snacks, he went straight to the kitchen.
Xu Qingmeng had almost finished preparing all the food by now, and was having people prepare to serve it!
Xu Qingmeng was surprised to see Gu Yunyi: "Why did you come back at this time? Did your uncle come back with you?"
"No, my uncle was busy, so I came back with Sixth Master."
If Gu Yunyi hadn't known that today was the opening day of Xu Qingmeng's Zhuyunzhai, he would never have allowed him to take leave, even for his own nephew.
"Are you done with your work?"
"Well, it's almost done, let's prepare the food."
It is very helpful that Gu Yunyi can come back. After all, on the first day of opening, one of the three tables of people who came came to show their support.
If Manager Lin were to receive Qiao Mingyu's table, people would always feel that he was not sincere, and it would naturally not be a good idea for Xu Qingmeng, a woman.
Besides, she is not very good at this. Now that Gu Yunyi is back, she can push everything to him.
The dishes are ready and can be served directly. Gu Yunyi, Aunt Rong, and Lin Lei went out together with the dishes.
But before leaving the kitchen, he told Xu Qingmeng that Sixth Master came back with him.
Xu Qingmeng had originally planned to stop, but after hearing this, she decided to cook a few more dishes.
Gu Yunyi waved his hand and said, "No need. Sixth Master didn't come here specially to be our guest today. Just eat with us when the time comes."
“Isn’t this bad?”
"It's okay. There are still many days to come. Besides, it must be time for Zhizhi and Ruirui to be fed. You can go back and take care of them. Just leave things here to Xinting."
Xinting was preparing lunch for them, and she quickly responded, "Aunt, don't get involved. I'll cook it. You can go back."
Xu Qingmeng saw that both of them said so, so he stopped insisting and said with a smile: "Okay, then you do it well, I will go back and come back soon."
"Auntie, don't worry!"
Only after Xu Qingmeng agreed did Gu Yunyi go out with peace of mind.
Even though he came back a little late, the moment he entered the kitchen, he saw the two big iron pots. There were the same dishes on three tables, and flipping the pots and stir-frying was a very physical job.
The people at the three tables were already looking forward to it.
There was a knock on the door, and everyone's eyes lit up.
Here it comes, the food is served, and Qiao Mingyu’s table is served first.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Gu Yunyi walked in front, with Lin Lei and Aunt Rong carrying dishes behind him.
"No, no, Brother Gu, you're too polite." Qiao Mingyu stood up and greeted Gu Yunyi.
"I was a little late because of something else. I was unable to receive you in person. I hope Brother Qiao will forgive me."
"We are all acquaintances, why are you being so polite?"
As the two of them exchanged pleasantries, all the dishes were already served.
The aroma was already wafting in the air as soon as the door entered. Qiao Mingyu and Gu Yunyi were talking, their eyes fixed on the dishes on the table.
Gu Yunyi was not the kind of person who didn't know how to look at things. He smiled and said, "Then I won't disturb you all while you're having your meal. If you need anything, call someone. There are people waiting outside."
"Okay, okay, okay. Brother Gu, you just do your thing. We can do it ourselves."
The way you were trying to chase someone away was too obvious. You could almost just say, "Get out of here! You're delaying our meal."
Not only Qiao Mingyu thought so, but also the people he invited thought so. Why doesn't this guy leave yet?
After all, they are all well-known people in the outside world, and it is not good to show too much in front of outsiders. Gu Yunyi looked at the eagerness of several people and suddenly understood: this is really delaying others.
Gu Yunyi watched Aunt Rong serve the last dish and arrange it, then quickly took her people out.
Before the door was closed, a voice was heard from inside: "This is the smell. This smell is simply amazing. I can't wait any longer. I want to try it first."
Gu Yunyi stood at the door for a moment until he heard sounds of admiration and praise from inside, so exaggerated that he could hear the sounds of people eating through the door.
Gu Yunyi smiled faintly, knowing clearly in his heart that his wife was completely safe.
He turned around and whispered to Lin Lei beside him: "Just wait here. If there is anything, report it in time. We are in the backyard."
Lin Lei nodded repeatedly.
After Gu Yunyi left, Lin Lei subconsciously looked inside, but saw nothing. However, the smell coming from the crack in the door was so fragrant.
So hungry!
I'm already looking forward to lunch later.
Aunt Rong was busy again, this time going to the other two private rooms. Shopkeeper Lin had already gone there.
Xu Qingmeng returned to the Gu family to look after the children. Gu Yunyi and the other two tables of guests finished their dishes and started eating before returning to the backyard.
Xinting has already prepared several dishes. Manager Lin, Lin Lei, Aunt Rong and others are responsible for the kitchen and three private rooms. Xu Qingmeng has also returned to Zhuyunzhai after feeding her child.
It was obvious that Sixth Master had been waiting for a long time.
However, Xu Qingmeng had already asked Manager Lin to send some food and snacks over. The food was delicious, and Sixth Master didn't think there was anything wrong with waiting.
He knew about the Gu family's meals. Pei Cheng was too busy, otherwise he would have to go to the Gu family every day to eat. It was nothing to wait a little longer to get a meal.
Although the dishes on this table were not prepared by Xu Qingmeng, Xinting’s cooking skills are quite good now, and she can cook quite a few dishes. Although the plating is not as exquisite as that of the guests, it is also very sumptuous.
After Xu Qingmeng's training, the food tasted very good. They ate very quickly, but the people in the box ate even faster.
The table of people led by Qiao Mingyu finished eating first. Just as they were about to pay the bill and leave, Shopkeeper Lin hurried to the backyard to speak to Gu Yunyi.
Xu Qingmeng was very confident in her cooking skills. After all, whenever she cooked, Gu Yunyi and the others would only focus on eating and had no time to chat.
So it's not surprising.
Not long after Qiao Mingyu left, the other two tables also said they had finished eating and were ready to pay the bill.
Logically speaking, Qiao Mingyu was familiar with Gu Yunyi and the others, so he should have stayed to exchange a few words, but it seemed that something was going on, so he did not stay after the meal and left in a hurry.
However, Mr. Lin was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he stayed and chatted with Gu Yunyi.
"Boss Gu, actually, I came here today not only to have dinner, but also to discuss something with you."
