Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 104 Joking
Gu Yunyi opened his mouth and ate it. It wasn't as good as what she made, but it was still quite good.

"How about it?"

Gu Yunyi nodded: "It's not bad, but I still think yours tastes better."

"And we shouldn't take this home, otherwise Yun Sheng won't be able to stop eating it, and she'll get a sore throat from eating too much."

She's only interested in food all day long. She eats and eats, and not only is He Shi worried about her, but even her older brother Gu Yunyi thinks she's turning into a little pig.

Xu Qingmeng responded and went to check on the next person.

Of the several apprentices making pastries, all but Zhong Xin were older than Xu Qingmeng.
They had all heard of Xu Qingmeng's reputation before; among the food stalls on West Street, who didn't know about the Gu Family Eatery?
The steamed buns sold in the morning have thin skins, generous fillings, and delicious flavors. Many nobles on East Street would send their servants to queue up to buy them every morning.

The lunch set meals and afternoon braised dishes were also packed with people.

In addition, Gu Yunyi won the top prize twice, which made him even more famous in Quan County. Naturally, more people also learned that Gu Niangzi, who had outstanding cooking skills in West Street, was his wife.

These people had only heard of the two but had never seen them. Seeing the two of them interacting so naturally and without regard for others, they all winked and smiled, creating an atmosphere of enthusiastic onlookers.

"The master and Gu are a perfect match. They are a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven."

"What are you saying? They are clearly a perfect match, both talented and beautiful. They look pleasing to the eye when they stand together."

"Exactly, look at how loving they are. My husband never even goes into the kitchen. He always says that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, putting on airs. He's more knowledgeable than anyone else."

"Judging from Gu Anshou's behavior, the owner is probably pregnant. She's being so cautious. We should always be careful around her."

"I think so too, but since the employer didn't say anything, let's just pretend we don't know. We should all be more vigilant in general."

Several people were chattering quietly, while Zhong Xin stood to the side with her head down, looking sad.

How could such a tall, handsome man, with both talent and good looks, fall for a woman who can only cook in the kitchen?

I heard this woman used to be as fat as a pig, so how did he end up marrying her?

"Xin'er, what are you doing? The food in the oven is almost burnt."

After Xu Qingmeng finished looking at everyone else's, she walked over to Zhong Xin and saw that she was lost in thought, so she frowned.

The child is young, about the same age as Xinting. He is usually talkative and has a sweet tongue. Although he is a bit impulsive, Xu Qingmeng is still willing to take good care of young children, and nothing serious has ever happened to him.

Normally she's full of energy and chattering away, but today she came in without saying hello and stood alone in a corner. Now she's lost in thought, and Xu Qingmeng subconsciously started to worry.

"Are you feeling unwell, or is there something wrong at home? If it's urgent, you can take two days off."

Any more might not be enough, after all, the store is about to open.

Zhong Xin shook her head, but she didn't feel Xu Qingmeng's good intentions. Instead, she thought Xu Qingmeng was deliberately being sarcastic.

"Boss, it's nothing. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night. I'll go do my work now."

As she spoke, she took the burnt food out of the oven, poured it out, and started making it again. Xu Qingmeng had just opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, seeing her like this, she could only give up.

Gu Yunyi, worthy of being the future Grand Secretary, immediately noticed the subtle dissatisfaction that the little girl had inadvertently revealed on her face.

He glanced in that direction and pulled Xu Qingmeng aside, saying, "Everyone has their own thoughts, so don't keep too close an eye on things."

As the saying goes, "The master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you." Right now, it's just a matter of mutual respect and courtesy; there's no need to be so open and honest.

Xu Qing thought for a moment, then sighed softly, "I just feel that she's not usually like this. Her behavior today is really abnormal, and I'm afraid something might have happened to her. But you're right, I can't interfere too much."

After saying that, Xu Qingmeng stopped worrying about it and went to check the drinks counter. Then she saw Xinting return.

"Auntie, all the pastries have been distributed. We only distributed the best-looking ones, not the ugly scraps or waste. Everyone said they were delicious." Xinting's face was flushed; clearly, the praise from the older folks outside made her very happy.

Xu Qingmeng smiled and said, "That's right. Although it's free food, we can't just throw things away, but we can't be careless either. After all, since it's free, everyone will naturally say it's delicious."
"Things will be different when it comes to actually paying later. Right now, apart from Xinting, the drinks are fine. You guys still need to work on the taste a bit. You need to practice more and think more about it. If you don't understand anything, ask me immediately. If I'm not here, you can also ask Xinting. Don't get stuck on the details."

"We understand, sir," Madam Chen quickly replied.

“Miss Xinting is very skilled and easy-going. Master, don’t worry too much. Your health is the most important thing.”

"That's right, don't worry about us."

"Ahem. Okay." Xu Qingmeng was puzzled. I didn't say anything, so why did they all seem to know?

Xu Qingmeng turned her head and glared at Gu Yunyi, indicating that he was quick to speak.

Gu Yunyi, however, looked completely innocent, indicating that he hadn't said anything.

Gu Yunyi then glanced at the sky outside and, seeing that she had almost finished giving instructions, said, "When we came, didn't Mother simmer a pot of chicken soup on the stove? It's about time to go back. Let them practice here, and Xinting can keep an eye on them."

When Madam Chen and the others arrived, they all knew that she was pregnant. They quickly said, "Master, please go back first. We can practice here on our own. If there's anything we don't understand, we'll ask Miss Xinting. If Miss Xinting doesn't know, we'll write it down and ask her together later."

Xu Qingmeng was a little embarrassed, but Gu Yunyi was shameless. Originally, everyone might have been guessing, but now that he had said it, even if they stayed, it wouldn't have much effect.

She tried her best to maintain a calm demeanor: "Then I'll go first. Xinting, keep an eye on things and don't go back too late. I'll leave you some chicken soup."

"Auntie, you should go back now. My cousins ​​are the most important people right now, so don't worry about me," Xinting said with a smile.

Xu Qingmeng glared at her irritably, then pulled Gu Yunyi away.

Liu Zhigang remarked from the side, "Xinting, your boss really dotes on you."

"That's right, my aunt loves me the most, and my uncle's family is also very kind," Xinting said with a smile.

"How far along is the boss's pregnancy?"
