Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 123 Be Yourself
At noon, Xu Qingmeng made stewed goose and simple scallion pancakes. Everyone ate with gusto, sweating profusely, except for Gu Yunyi, who put down his chopsticks after only two bites.

The others enjoyed their meal. Since they already had good appetites, they ate even more when they saw Gu Yunyi, who wanted to eat but couldn't.

Seeing the smiling faces of his family, Gu Yunyi slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyes softened even more.

It's so good to have you!

That day, Xu Qingmeng and Xinting were chatting and sat down in the courtyard.

"Auntie, Sister Chen asked me to tell you that Su Xiang Ge has changed its pastry chef. I heard that he is from the capital. Today, the manager was very respectful to him, nodding and bowing."

"A master craftsman from the capital?"

"Yes, and I also saw Zhong Xin there. Sister Chen also had someone tell Madam Huang that we were going to go to Suxiang Pavilion to inquire, but Madam Huang said that we should just do our own thing."

Xu Qingmeng nodded and said, "What Madam Huang said makes sense. As long as you do your job well, let alone what the masters in the capital are like, even if ten or eight come, we won't be afraid. As for Zhong Xin, since she is no longer considered part of our shop, it is her freedom to choose where to go."

"Yes, I absolutely believe that. It's just that I think the pastries from Wufangzhai are not as good as the ones you make, Auntie," Xinting said playfully.

Xu Qingmeng accepted this blatant flattery and said to Xinting, "Once everything at home is settled, it's time for Jinxiuxuan to start making new pastries. Tell them tomorrow that whoever masters the pastries they have can learn to make new ones with you."

"Everyone will definitely be happy."

Jinxiuxuan's monthly allowance is tied to the number of dim sum sold each day. The more dim sum you can sell, the more money you can earn, but you'll also be more tired.

But everyone is very willing to learn a skill and earn more money in this way, even if it's tiring.

Xu Xinting was actually the most tired. She not only had to learn how to make pastries, but also how to make drinks. However, Xu Qingmeng did not intend to limit Xinting to this area, so she also had to learn how to make dishes every day.

The next morning, Gu's Restaurant was busy as usual. Although people didn't ask questions, since Gu's Restaurant served not all the locals, quite a few people still asked questions while buying breakfast.

At first, Mrs. He was quite patient, but when she saw that this was wasting time, she simply hid in the kitchen and let Aunt Tang and Aunt Li go to the front.

Aunt Li was a woman who didn't talk much and gave off a cold feeling, so no one would come up to ask her anything.

Tang's wife is always smiling at everyone, but she's not a talkative person. She prefers to be a listener rather than a talker.

When asked about the Gu family, she would always say she didn't know. If someone pressed her for details, she would simply smile and shake her head.

Seeing that the two of them were like this, everyone's desire to gossip instantly vanished.

And so, until Xu Qingmeng woke up, nothing went wrong at the Gu Family Restaurant.

When Madam He saw that Xu Qing had woken up and seemed to be in good spirits, she packed some steamed buns and asked her to deliver them to Jinxiuxuan.

Xinting woke up late today and left in a hurry without eating anything in the morning.

Xu Qing dreamed that Jinxiuxuan would open early every day, and that there might be people in the kitchen who hadn't eaten yet, so she packed up some extra food.

Xu Qingmeng rarely goes out, and now that she is pregnant, she goes out even less. She knows most of the people on West Street, but she knows very few people on East Street.

The journey was quiet. Just before entering the store, remembering what Xinting had told her yesterday, she curiously peeked inside. To her surprise, Su Xiang Ge was indeed quite different.

She had initially thought the store was about to close, but now, looking inside, there were still some people standing outside. She could clearly smell the same odor as her own home.

After all, Zhong Xin was inside, so it's not surprising that she could have done it. Speaking of which, this girl's learning ability is really good. If she studied properly, Xu Qingmeng might have focused on cultivating her talent, but...

Then I smelled a salty aroma, which was quite nice. It must have been made by that master from the capital. After all, he was from the capital, so he must have some skill.

"Why is the master here!" Madam Chen had just come out with her snacks and immediately spotted Xu Qingmeng.

Xu Qingmeng was carrying steamed buns and pies. She casually gave one portion to Madam Chen and another to Manager Yang.

"Sister Chen, Manager Yang, I think today's food is pretty good. Have you had the steamed buns and pies you made at home for breakfast? Would you like to try some?"

Even if you've already tried the steamed buns and pies at Gu Family Restaurant, you'll still want to try them again. After all, Gu Family Restaurant is so popular that you won't be able to get any if you go too late.

It's not that Manager Yang's family is poor; it's just that they live in opposite directions from the Gu family, so it's not on their way. But they've always kept it in mind.

Madam Chen, however, was reluctant to part with him.

Manager Yang's portion included a braised pork bun and a meat pie, both of which were the most famous dishes at Gu's Restaurant.

When he received it, it was still warm, so he quickly unwrapped the oil paper.

Xu Qingmeng ignored it and went to the kitchen with Chen Niangzi.

The people in the kitchen were pleasantly surprised by Xu Qingmeng's arrival. Apart from Zhong Xin, the remaining people were all sensible and knew how to be grateful.

Although they inevitably had their own gossips, they understood that it wasn't their place to concern themselves with such matters. They simply focused on doing their own job and didn't voice any of it.

Xu Qingmeng called out to Xinting and said to everyone except Chen Niangzi, "I brought some steamed buns and pies, which I left in the back hall. There was nothing to eat this morning, so you can go and have some."

Xu Qingmeng called Xinting away, and everyone in the kitchen who could put aside their work also put it down and followed her.

Of course, there were also a few who were busy making products and couldn't leave, so they sped up their work even more.

"The food the owner brought must be breakfast from the eatery. I wonder if they have braised pork buns. Those are famous from Gu Family Eatery, they're delicious! But they're too expensive."

"I've eaten it. Although it's a bit pricey, the meat inside is really plentiful and the pieces are quite large. And the taste is unforgettable once you've tried it."

"I really think that shumai is the most delicious thing in the world."

"No, no, no, there are also those pies, so delicious! I have to finish this batch quickly so I can go and grab one to try."

Everyone returned with their favorites, each carrying one in their hand and another in their mouth.
