Chapter 89 Buying a bed, impossible!
With Shen Jinwen's tasting experience before them, He and the others no longer had any concerns. They picked one up and opened it to find that it was fresh meat.
He took a bite, but did not wolf it down. Everyone was relatively polite. They made it themselves, so the ingredients were real. He tasted the meat in the second bite.
"This salty fresh meat rice dumpling is really good." After taking a few bites, He accepted it immediately.
Wang Cuiqin, the eldest sister-in-law of the Xu family, also echoed, "When my younger sister pickled the meat, there was quite a bit of fat in it. When you eat it, it's not greasy at all. The flavor of the meat has melted into the glutinous rice. It's delicious."
Gu Yunyi just ate without saying anything. He, Yun Sheng, and Yun Mo were all carnivores. They loved meat in the past, and it was even more so at this moment.
However, this glutinous rice is not easy to digest. Yun Sheng and Yun Mo are still young, so Xu Qingmeng only allowed the two little guys to eat one each and did not allow the other two to eat it.
Gu Yunyi had an evil taste that he didn't know where it came from. While enjoying the depressed expressions of the two people, he tore them apart one after another in front of them, filling them with hatred.
He looked at her eldest son, who had opened several candies, and was worried that he would be too full: "Yun Yi, take it easy, you've already eaten five."
Gu Yunyi: “... ahem, mother, the last one.”
There is no doubt that Gu Yunyi truly loves that fresh meat dumpling.
But he kept his word. If he said he would be the last one, then he really was the last one.
The next day, Xu Qingmeng had just gotten up when Gu Yunyi also got up.
Ever since Xu Qingmeng made someone angry last time, Gu Yunyi has been ignoring her. Xu Qingmeng was too lazy to explain the initial attitude, but she secretly complained in her heart that such a grown man was really stingy and had such a bad temper.
Although he said so, he still had some gentlemanly manners. In the past few days, he had been curled up on the small bamboo bed in front of the window. Since Gu Yunyi was quite tall, his feet were always resting on the stool at the end of the bed.
Xu Qingmeng looked at it and felt somewhat guilty.
Xu Qingmeng saw that he got up so early today, thinking that he might not have slept well, so she said, "If not, let's get another bed."
Although the eldest sister-in-law has already gone back, if Xu Qingmeng moves back, it will definitely arouse He's suspicion.
Gu Yunyi paused while buttoning his shirt and said, "No need. I'm used to it now."
Xu Qingmeng felt that he couldn't sleep well when she saw him like that, so she naturally didn't believe him. "Then why did you get up so early today?"
Gu Yunyi was silent for a moment, then said, "I feel like I've been a little slack in my studies these days, so I just want to get up early and study."
Xu Qingmeng thought about it and realized that it was true. Compared to before the provincial examination, Gu Yunyi had hardly studied at all in the few days since he came back.
After finding out the reason, Xu Qingmeng stopped worrying about it, packed up and went to the kitchen.
Gu Yunyi just stood there, looking at Xu Qingmeng's back for a long time.
“Buy a bed...haha!”
That's impossible!
Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and rice dumplings are about to start selling. Aunt Li cooked the sweet and salty rice dumplings separately, and cooked two large pots. When the steaming rice dumplings came out of the pot, Sister-in-law Xu had already cleaned them up.
Xun Ge'er can already get out of bed, but his arms cannot be moved freely. He has no problem taking care of himself in daily life, so Wang Cuiqin is relieved. He has been out for so many days, and today is the Dragon Boat Festival, so Wang Cuiqin is ready to go back.
It was still dark at this moment, and thinking that sister-in-law Xu Qingmeng had to hurry on her way, He hurriedly took out a few rice dumplings and buns for Wang to eat.
Seeing this, Gu Yunyi also came over, and peeled off the rice dumplings leaves skillfully with his slender fingers, and ate them with such delicious taste.
Xu Qingmeng brought the soup over and asked, "Aren't you studying in the study?"
Gu Yunyi turned around, took the soup bowl from her hand, and served it to his sister-in-law Wang Cuiqin, saying, "I smell the fragrance and feel a little hungry."
"Eat, eat. There's a lot of food cooked. Only when you're full will you have the energy to study." Wang Cuiqin said.
Xu Qingmeng looked doubtful. He thought that if he ate too much, his blood sugar would rise and he would just feel sleepy. How could he have the energy to read a book?
However, since her sister-in-law was here, she couldn't say anything, so she thought about renting a carriage. Wang Cuiqin thought it was too expensive and refused to rent it.
Xu Qingmeng had no choice but to give up, and then prepared a lot of things, thinking of asking her sister-in-law to take them back. But Wang Cuiqin took a look and found that she only carried a large bag of buns, pies and rice dumplings, and did not take the other cloth, meat and pastries.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you take these?"
"Sister, I know. It's only been a few days since you last went back. You gave them so many things. Don't spoil them."
Xu Qingmeng and her sister-in-law pushed and shoved for a long time, but neither of them won the fight, so they had to give up.
As soon as the sister-in-law left, the Gu family restaurant became busy.
"Madam Gu, I heard that the restaurant made rice dumplings, and they were salty ones, meat dumplings. Are you keeping them for yourself or planning to sell them?"
Xu Qingmeng was stunned, looked up and asked: "How did you know?"
"Haha, I went to the grocery store last night to buy something and saw Boss Shen eating rice dumplings. He was eating so deliciously. When I asked, I found out that it was Madam Gu who made them. I haven't eaten such salty rice dumplings either, so I wanted to try them too, so I came here to ask."
As soon as he finished speaking, several people behind him echoed him. They were all residents living nearby. This Chen Ji grocery store was relatively comprehensive and large, and its business was getting better and better.
There are quite a few guests coming and going every day, and Shen Jinwen is not the type to hide his feelings. When eating a zongzi, it is not just one or two people who are greedy, but many people.
The person who just asked the question was still a little nervous. After all, the meat and salted duck eggs are not cheap. If the rice dumpling is too expensive, he will buy one to try it.
Xu Qingmeng smiled and said, "The candied dates and red beans are three cents each, the fresh meat is four cents each, the pure egg yolk is five cents each, and the egg yolk and fresh meat is six cents each."
This price was agreed upon by everyone yesterday, and it is almost impossible to make any profit.
"Gu's steamed buns are not cheap, but these rice dumplings are quite cost-effective."
"That's right. The candied date dumplings at Old Li's are not big, and they cost three cents each. The dumplings at Gu's are much bigger than his."
When Mrs. He and Mrs. Tang were carrying the zongzi out, they heard this and immediately said, "It's the Dragon Boat Festival now. We don't make any money from these zongzi, but we just want to celebrate the festival with everyone. We'll only sell them today, three pots in total, first come first served, if you're late they'll be gone."
"Really? Then I'll have to buy a few more. I'll definitely miss out if I get off work late at night."
"Fellow villagers, let's make it clear first. One person can't buy too much. You can only buy two. One person can buy a maximum of six. Even if it's just for fun, you have to leave some for others, right?"
