Chapter 40 Dragon Beard Cake
Xu Xun was thinking, you must listen to your aunt and follow her so that you can have meat to eat.
Xu Qing thought that the little guy didn't eat enough, so he planned to make a dish of dragon beard crispy for the little guy for dinner.
Huang Boyang stayed at Gu's house for quite a while. When he was discussing literature in the study, he smelled the fragrance of Gu's family cooking dinner. He almost lost interest in talking.
So I decided that I must have a meal at Gu's house.
However, the wish is good, but the reality is very bleak.
"Master, the master asked you to go back quickly, saying that he has something important to discuss."
When Huang Boyang heard this, he cursed in his heart. He didn't know how this boy found this place and asked him to go back at this critical moment. He really had no foresight at all.
Huang Boyang complained silently in his heart, but in front of Gu Yunyi, he could only keep a normal expression. His heart was full of regret, but there was nothing he could do even though he was reluctant.
After discussing with him for an entire afternoon, Huang Boyang was still very satisfied with Gu Yunyi. This man was full of knowledge and his knowledge was no worse than his, if not better than his. He deserved the title of first place.
After spending the whole afternoon together, Gu Yunyi was convinced that this man was very carefree and was not trying to cause trouble on purpose.
Huang Boyang doesn't like the imperial examinations, doesn't stick to tradition, and often puts forward some novel ideas that are refreshing, but there is a hint of unorthodoxy that makes Gu Yunyi very puzzled.
Before Huang Boyang left, he politely said goodbye to He and Xu Qingmeng.
He didn't know Huang Boyang's identity. She just thought he was her son's guest, so she was very enthusiastic and repeatedly persuaded him to have dinner at home before leaving. Finally, when it was confirmed that he could not have dinner, she packed a few pieces of the freshly-made dragon beard crisps made by Xu Qingmeng and gave them to him to take with him.
Huang Boyang was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and he almost knelt down to express his gratitude.
You know, when the aroma of the dragon beard crisps drifted all the way into the study, he had been drooling. He thought he would never have the chance to eat it, but he didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to take a few pieces away now.
"Mrs. Gu's kindness, Huang will accept it with audacity. Thank you very much, Madam Gu, for your kindness."
He said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay. If you like, come and visit us next time. Apart from anything else, we will definitely have plenty of delicious food. My Meng Niang likes to prepare food the most.
"Of course, of course. I'll come to bother you next time. I hope my sister-in-law won't think I eat too much." Huang Boyang said jokingly and left.
"Mother, Mr. Huang's family is wealthy, so he has no shortage of delicacies from land and sea. How did you know that he wanted to eat dragon beard crisps?" Gu Yunyi asked.
He looked at Huang Boyang and couldn't help laughing. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Yun Mo say,
"Brother is so stupid. He looks exactly like Yun Sheng, the glutton."
Xu Qingmeng was also stunned. How come she didn’t see that?
After hearing what Yun Mo said, Gu Yunyi looked at him in reproach and stopped talking. However, looking at him, it was obvious that his mother's judgment was correct.
In the minds of the Gu family, Huang Boyang was silently labeled as an invisible foodie just like Yun Sheng.
After cleaning up, Xu Qingmeng prepared a large table of delicious dishes as a welcome treat for his nephews and nieces. When the two saw He and Gu Yunyi's attitudes, they completely put aside the slight worry in their hearts.
After dinner, the family planned to rest. There were three rooms in the east wing of the backyard, one for Gu Yunyi and one for Xu Qingmeng. Yun Sheng slept with Xu Qingmeng these two days. There were also three rooms in the main hall, so Xun Ge'er could sleep with Yun Mo and take care of Yun Mo at night. The bed in He's room was flat, and she had slept there with Yun Sheng before, but now Xinting happened to sleep with He.
After making the arrangements, Xu Xinting and Xu Xun began to pack their bags.
Every night, no matter how tired Xu Qingmeng was, she would insist on soaking her feet. Then she went to boil water, but all the way she was thinking about what Gu Yunyi had said during the day. Was he unintentional or? Xu Qingmeng was unsure.
Gu Yunyi followed him to the kitchen.
Xu Qing dreamed that Gu Yunyi followed closely behind him, "What's the matter?"
Gu Yunyi: "...my wife seems to have changed a lot,"
"You lose weight, but you don't change, right?"
"Madam, it seems you are not afraid of me anymore?"
"When have I ever been afraid of you? Am I afraid that you would use force on me?" Xu Qingmeng said fearlessly.
"Really?"
Xu Qingmeng had a blank expression on her face. "My husband is really too suspicious. I have just figured it out now. A forced melon is not sweet, right? Now I just want to run the restaurant well."
Gu Yunyi:...
Gu Yunyi was speechless.
Xu Qing dreamed that Gu Yunyi had nothing to say, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief. This man was always testing her in subtle ways, causing her to forget her guard inadvertently.
"Of course, if my husband doesn't mind, I don't mind reviewing what happened before." Xu Qingmeng looked at him jokingly.
Gu Yunyi's face suddenly turned red, and he coughed lightly.
"My lady, please stop teasing your husband."
Xu Qingmeng looked at her shy appearance and laughed in his heart, Humph, you want to fight me. She still said seriously on the surface, "Husband, what's so funny about this? Didn't you say that this is how a husband and wife should be?"
Gu Yunyi was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond, so he turned around and left for the study.
After soaking her feet, Xu Qingmeng got into bed.
Although Xu Qingmeng lay down, she was not sleepy. She subconsciously touched her belly. If she didn't have a baby in her belly, she wouldn't have so many worries. With her skills, she could live well on her own.
But the current situation does not allow it. Xu Qingmeng sighed and her thoughts drifted away. Even though Gu Yunyi had changed his attitude towards her a little now, she didn't know how he would react if he knew about it. After all, that incident hurt Gu Yunyi's self-esteem.
Gu Yunyi was also unable to fall asleep for a long time. His mind kept replaying Xu Qingmeng's recent behaviors. She really changed a lot. She was no longer sloppy, greedy, and selfish. Now she made him curious and wanted to explore more.
He couldn't help but think of the way she teased him, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, but he quickly realized his gaffe and frowned.
He felt a little confused about his emotions. After that incident, he just wanted to stay away from her, but now he felt that she was a mystery that attracted him to solve it.
The next morning, just as the buns were sold out, Shen Jinwen arrived.
He: "Mr. Shen, you are late, this breakfast is sold out."
"Aunt He, I came to ask if Aunt He and Madam Gu want to go shopping at the grocery store."
"Is Mr. Shen's shop ready?"
"Well, Aunt He, it's ready. It's on East Street and will open the day after tomorrow. We'll have some offers to reward customers, so I think there will be a lot of people. I wanted to ask if you want to go take a look now. In addition to some common food and drinks, I also asked my friends to prepare some rare items, thinking that Madam Gu would be interested."
Xu Qingmeng became interested instantly when he heard this.
As a food blogger, she is very keen on shopping in supermarkets. She thought that Shen Jinwen's shop should be big, so she became interested all of a sudden.
