Chapter 34 Oh, man!
The buns Xu Qingmeng makes now have five different kinds of folded patterns. Her original idea was to make it easier to distinguish the fillings of the buns. Although there is now a large steamer, there is no need for so many patterns to distinguish them, but the customers were used to it in the early days, so Xu Qingmeng continued to do so. This can be regarded as a feature of Gu's restaurant.
Xu Xinting knew a simple one, and Xu Qingmeng taught her another one. The little girl's fingers were very flexible and her memory was good. After wrapping one or two, she quickly got the hang of it.
Although it is not as regular as the ones Xu Qingmeng made, it is already very good and there will be no problem steaming and selling it later.
In this way, the aunt and niece, Xu Xinting was responsible for two fillings, and Xu Qingmeng was responsible for three fillings, which greatly increased the speed.
Because the original body had been nice to Xu Xinting in the past, and this time she felt that her aunt seemed different, not as sarcastic as before, nor as fat as before, now her aunt was prettier and became so gentle, Xu Xinting was no longer as cautious as before, and was much bolder, so she asked,
"Aunt, I once ate a steamed bun that was sold at a discount store. It only had a little stuffing inside, but it was sold for two cents each. If we sell a bun with such a large amount of meat stuffing for only three cents, won't we lose money?"
Xu Qingmeng smiled and said, "I can't lose money. Your aunt is not such a stupid person. I just make little money. Besides, they are all neighbors. Everyone likes to eat. A little bit adds up to a lot!"
There is some truth to what Xu Qingmeng said, but not entirely.
The price of the buns at Gu's restaurant is high, but the cost is also relatively high. Xu Qingmeng uses real ingredients, and actually doesn't make much. However, the buns Xu Qingmeng makes taste good and many people buy them. The amount sold every day can match what others sell in several days, and there are also pies that the workers love.
In addition, the shop belongs to the Gu family, so there is no rent, and the firewood is delivered by Xu Qingmeng's brothers in turn. There is no cost for these, so they can make a lot of money.
Xu Xinting seemed to understand, but nodded. However, as long as she could make money, it was fine.
With Xu Xinting's help, it was done quickly. Usually, Xu Qingmeng would have to work until the sun rises by herself, but today she finished early.
Xu Qingmeng still had some free time, so she made breakfast for everyone.
When my nephews and nieces come for the first time, I must leave some of my own big buns for them to try. Xu Qing dreams of drinking spicy soup, and since he has time, he plans to do this.
Tofu and soaked dried mushrooms, blanch the black fungus in water to remove the astringency, shred radish, bean curd sheets, soaked vermicelli, beat the eggs, cut some beef, chop it into foam, stir-fry until fragrant,
Use bone broth as the base, add tofu, black fungus, radish, bean curd sheets, vermicelli, and shiitake mushrooms, add salt to taste, add some soy sauce for color, add water starch to thicken, and finally beat the eggs in and quickly make egg flowers, finally sprinkle with chopped coriander, add pepper and chili powder, and add appropriate amount of vinegar, and the spicy soup is ready.
After making the buns, Xu Xinting was not idle. She was very sharp-eyed and went to the front hall to help. It was dawn and more people were getting soup around, so she went to help serve the soup. He and Xu Guodong were selling buns.
Xu Qingmeng was just about to wake up the two kids when she saw Gu Yunyi getting up.
"Are your nephews and nieces here?"
Xu Qingmeng casually handed him a towel from the side.
"Yeah, he came very early. He said he left home at five o'clock in the morning and walked along the night road. I guess he wanted to help in the morning."
Gu Yunyi nodded, "Father-in-law has always loved you very much."
Xu Qingmeng teased, "They get up at five in the morning, but what happened to you today? You slept until this hour?"
“Ahem.”
Gu Yunyi punched me on the lips, and Qingjun's face turned slightly red.
I thought a lot last night. I was worried that Xu Qingmeng knew about Chen Yunyi's existence. I also thought about her previous changes and her current abilities, so I went to bed a little late. And...
His eyes couldn't help but glance at Xu Qingmeng's face. The morning glow was reflected on her face. She was no longer bloated and fat as before. Now she looked more and more charming. Her skin was as white as cream, her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her pair of almond eyes were sparkling as if they could speak, her lips were red and her teeth were white. She was definitely a top beauty.
How come I didn’t realize before that she was so beautiful? Now that I think about it, although the Xu family is just ordinary people, everyone in the family is very good-looking.
It’s just that Xu Qingmeng was too fat before. Once he loses weight, with the good genes of the Xu family, how bad can he be?
In the past, she was as fat as a pig. No matter how pretty her facial features were, they were all squeezed out by the fat. How could you tell whether she was beautiful or ugly? Moreover, she had a bad temper and personality. She even drugged and forced herself on him. He was doing her a favor by not strangling her to death.
Then, the beautiful scene from last night's dream flashed involuntarily through his mind. He dreamed of Xu Qingmeng.
I dreamed of her, wearing a colorful dress as thin as a cicada's wing, with a graceful figure, a little cinnabar between her eyebrows, dancing in the flying flowers. Her dancing posture was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
And he just stood aside, looking at her infatuatedly, with an unprecedented feeling surging in his heart.
Then, she opened her red lips and smiled at him. That smile seemed to melt the ice and snow and soften his whole heart.
She walked towards him slowly, and every step she took seemed to be stepping on his heart, making his heart beat like thunder and unable to control himself.
Just when he thought she was going to throw herself into his arms, she suddenly turned and left, leaving behind only her slim figure. He stood there in a daze, feeling lost and melancholy.
Alas, the hero of the gentle land, he didn't know when he started to have thoughts about her, and he even dreamed about her. Because of this little dream, he delayed getting up early to study. It was really...
"Gu Yunyi, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? Do you want to see a doctor?"
When Xu Qingmeng heard him coughing, he didn't say anything for a long time, but he was very nervous.
The corners of Gu Yunyi's mouth lifted slightly without leaving any trace.
Although she has always felt distant from him since that time, the concern and nervousness in her eyes now are real, and that is enough.
In fact, Gu Yunyi himself didn't know when he developed different feelings for her. Now he was somewhat grateful for what she had done for him, otherwise he didn't know why he would keep her by his side.
"No problem. Maybe I caught a cold because I studied too late last night. I'll just drink more hot water later."
Xu Qingmeng frowned slightly, "Health is the most important thing. There is still some time before the exam, and the book is there, and I can't run away. Why worry about this?"
Xu Qingmeng kept mumbling for a while, but she was still worried, so she went to the kitchen and made him a bowl of ginger soup.
Gu Yunyi smiled faintly, listening to her chattering while cooking, and suddenly said, "It's not intentional. There are a lot of interesting things in the book, and I forget the time if I'm not paying attention. Nannan is so concerned, why don't you remind me from today onwards?"
"Nannan, you are calling me. Besides, how can I remind you at night..."
Xu Qingmeng was stunned for a moment, and stopped what she was doing. She looked up at him, and met his deep, smiling eyes. Suddenly, her mind became clear.
He was telling her to go back to bed and called her by her nickname, right?
Haha, as expected, men! They are all visual animals.
Before, the original body was too fat. As a couple, if they wanted to have sex, they had to drug her. After that, I wanted to kill her and even guarded against her like a thief. Now that she is here and has lost weight, I really want to be her husband and wife.
If you want beauty, just dream!
