Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 109 Boundless Charm
New pastries are either still being baked or fried; the front line is pushing hard, and the kitchen is constantly busy.

Xu Qingmeng originally didn't intend to take action; she only planned to direct operations and help them resolve any problems that arose. However, business was booming, and in the end, she had no choice but to wash her hands and join the fray.

The Gu family restaurant was so busy that there was no time to help. Xinting got up early and prepared the meat and vegetables for lunch, while Tang Sao could handle the vegetarian dishes.

It wasn't until lunchtime that everyone at Jinxiuxuan could finally catch their breath.

Gu Yunyi had already sent someone back to the restaurant to bring over food, so that they could eat first and then get back to work.

Xu Qingmeng checked and found nothing wrong, so she told everyone to go eat and rest first.

The set meals at Gu Family Restaurant consisted of one meat dish and two vegetable dishes. Aunt Tang also cooked soup. The group was exhausted and didn't bother with formalities. They thanked Gu Yunyi a couple of times and then began to wolf down their food.

Xu Qingmeng had just sat down when she rubbed her shoulders and said, "I wonder how Mother is doing?"

"Don't worry about the restaurant. Xinting told me everything before she came this morning, including Aunt Tang and Aunt Li!"

Gu Yunyi said it was nothing, so it must be nothing. He must have made all the arrangements. So she didn't ask any more questions and naturally took a bite of the food in her bowl.

Gu Yunyi served the dishes and then ladled out a bowl of soup. The two of them took the soup from each other and handed it over, doing it very skillfully, as if they did it often.

The women looked down at each other, their eyes filled with smiles, exchanging glances. The owner and her scholar husband had such a good relationship.

Gu Yunyi watched as Xu Qingmeng drank a bowl of soup, then watched her eat a small bowl of rice and a lot of vegetables. As her chopsticks moved slower and slower, he knew she couldn't eat anymore.

"They're not eating enough."

Xu Qingmeng leaned back in her chair and sighed in relief: "That's quite a lot. My appetite has increased these past few days."

The culprit is the person right in front of us.

Ever since the doctor told her to eat more, this person wanted to eat every single hour of the day, and tried every possible way to get her to eat more.

"You're not alone now, you also have a child in your belly, how can this be considered a little bit?"

"Okay, okay." Xu Qingmeng looked helpless and ate some more food before Gu Yunyi finally gave up.

"Then you can rest for a while. There aren't many people up ahead now."

Xu Qingmeng was indeed a little tired, and responded with a sound of agreement.

Behind this shop are several other shops. The side rooms are used to store various ingredients, while the main room has a large table for people to eat at.

Inside the main room was a small room with a soft couch, originally prepared for the steward. However, since Xu Qingmeng intended to cultivate Madam Chen, Madam Huang did not send anyone over.

So the soft couch in the room was left unused. Occasionally, when someone was tired or feeling unwell, they would come over and lie down to rest for a while.

When Xu Qingmeng was teaching before, she would take a nap here when she was tired or sleepy because she was pregnant.

This morning felt like a battle, and I'm quite tired. Plus, because I'm pregnant, I'm starting to feel sleepy at this time of day, so I rubbed my shoulders and went into the little room, intending to take a nap.

After everyone finished eating, they tactfully wiped their mouths and left. Gu Yunyi tidied up the leftover plates and bowls so that he could take the food box with him when Madam He returned.

"Young Master Gu, why don't we pack up together?"

Only Zhong Xin seemed not to notice, and even walked a little closer to Gu Yunyi.

Gu Yunyi glanced at her. His memory was always excellent. It was the girl from last time whose wicked intentions he could tell at a glance. He had been keeping an eye on her ever since.

"No need, you should go and rest." He replied without even looking up, and continued tidying up.

Zhong Xin's heart skipped a beat, and her face flushed with embarrassment. She said shyly, "Mr. Gu... is Mr. Gu concerned about me?"

Gu Yunyi frowned, thinking: Is this person crazy?
Seeing that the tidying was almost complete, and only Zhong Xin's things remained, he said coldly, "Clean it up yourself."

After saying that, he didn't even look at Zhong Xin, and took a glass of warm water into the inner room.

Zhong Xin was still heartbroken because of Gu Yunyi's words when she heard Gu Yunyi's gentle voice from inside the room: "Why aren't you asleep yet? Did I disturb you? Or are you not feeling well?"

His face turned pale instantly. How could he have forgotten that the boss was still inside?

Zhong Xin packed her things, not even knowing how she left. How could she have been so careless? Her employer must have heard what she just said.

Inside the room, Xu Qingmeng was not as furious as she had imagined. She simply said in a high-pitched voice, "Young Master Gu is so concerned about me, how can I fall asleep?"

Gu Yunyi sighed helplessly, "Mengniang, stop fooling around."

Xu Qingmeng covered her mouth and laughed: "I knew before that handsome young men would easily attract young girls, but I didn't expect that Mr. Gu's charm is so great that even Zhong Xin, who is so young, has been captivated by you."

Gu Yunyi shook his head, then said seriously, "When I came here last time, I saw that this girl was somewhat wicked. You'd better take advantage of the fact that Jinxiuxuan has just opened and she has only learned a little bit of the basics. Find an excuse to send her away as soon as possible, otherwise there will inevitably be some trouble in the future."

Xu Qingmeng's smile faded slightly. She had noticed something; she was always observing Xin Ting, intentionally or unintentionally, and the hostility and jealousy in her eyes were never concealed.

Actually, a little jealousy and resentment is a good thing; it can be transformed into motivation and hard work. But if you only envy others without putting in any effort yourself, that won't work.

"Yes, I've noticed that recently too. I'll take this opportunity to talk to her about it, and then discuss it with Madam Huang so that she can start recruiting people as soon as possible to fill Zhong Xin's position and avoid the shop being unemployed."

In the afternoon, Jinxiuxuan remained popular. In fact, many people who had bought some in the morning just to try it out and shared it with their families found it delicious and came back to buy more in the afternoon. As a result, business was even better in the afternoon.

Those families with money all purchased the most basic membership.

In the afternoon, Madam He and Gu Yunyi also helped out, along with the people sent by Madam Huang and the kitchen staff. They were busy until it got dark and the door was closed before they could finally rest.

On the first day of business, everyone was exhausted. They said that after closing, they were all so tired that they collapsed into their chairs, not wanting to move.

Mrs. Huang was very satisfied with today's results and said with a smile, "If business continues to be this good, there will be a bonus at the end of the month."

Upon hearing that there was money involved, everyone became excited and no one mentioned whether they were tired or not.
