Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 133 Cold Chicken Noodles
The road from Quan County to the prefectural city was not easy to travel, and the journey was quite bumpy. Xu Qingmeng was very uncomfortable. Now that they had entered the prefectural city, which was very lively, she naturally did not want to go back to the carriage.

Just as Xu Qingmeng was about to speak, she saw Sun Jingyi walk slowly to Jiang Mingyu's side.

She turned slightly to the side and said to Jiang Mingyu in a coquettish tone, "Husband, it's so stuffy in the car. Shall we walk over?"

Jiang Mingyu looked at the others somewhat embarrassedly.

Gu Yunyi was fine, but Xu Qingmeng was pregnant, so he looked at her and saw her nod slightly before saying, "It's already noon, how about we have lunch together first?"

Huang Boyang had no objections: "Sure, it just so happens that this place is relatively close to my courtyard. Let the driver take the luggage over first, and then tell Old Li, the gatekeeper, to see if there are any better courtyards around."

"That would be a real hassle for Brother Boyang."

Everyone expressed their gratitude.

Huang Boyang waved his hand, gave the coachman a few instructions, and then took Gu Yunyi and the others to eat.

He had been to the prefectural city many times and was quite familiar with the place, so he quickly led them to a decent restaurant.

However, it was noon, and the hall was quite crowded, so the better seats were all taken.

Huang Boyang consulted several people before casually finding a seat to sit down.

The others followed behind.

Sun Jingyi paused for a moment, her gaze sweeping across the bustling hall, a fleeting look of dissatisfaction on her face.

Xu Qingmeng noticed that Jiang Mingyu's wife seemed a little dissatisfied, but she could have been mistaken, so she didn't pay much attention.

"Wife, let's go, what are you daydreaming about?" Jiang Mingyu called out to her as he turned around.

"Hey, I'm here." Sun Jingyi forced a smile.

As soon as everyone sat down, they called over the waiter and couldn't help but introduce the restaurant's specialties to everyone.

"This shop mainly serves various noodle dishes, especially the cold chicken noodles and sesame sauce noodles, which are quite good right now. You can try them later."

After Huang Boyang said that, the others watched and ordered one of the two, and then added a few refreshing cold dishes, which were perfect for summer.

Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi each ordered a different dish so they could share it. Finally, Gu Yunyi asked the waiter, "Do you have any hot soup?"

"Our kitchen has special small soups that have been simmered for more than three hours. Today we have beef soup, which is very nourishing. Would you like a bowl, sir?"

Gu Yunyi nodded and ordered a bowl of beef soup.

This kind of beef is rarely found at the market, so they were lucky today.

When the food was served, the small soup bowls were indeed quite small, somewhat similar to modern earthenware pot soups, except that the ingredients were different, but the principle was the same.

Cold chicken noodles and sesame sauce noodles are the restaurant's signature dishes, both served in large portions.

Chicken noodles, topped with shredded chicken, cucumber, and radish, with a spoonful of thick sauce in the middle.

Gu Yunyi first placed the small bowl of beef soup in front of Xu Qingmeng, and then, imitating Huang Boyang's previous actions, mixed the shredded chicken noodles.

The noodles were rinsed in water, and after being mixed with the sauce, they looked even more tempting.

Gu Yunyi handed the chicken noodle soup to Xu Qingmeng, then started mixing the sesame sauce noodles for himself. The sesame sauce noodles were simply topped with shredded cucumber, and there was a small bowl of condiments on the side, mainly consisting of sesame paste, soy sauce, vinegar, and so on.

Gu Yunyi poured the seasoning from the bowl directly into the noodles and mixed it in just like before.

Gu Yunyi asked the waiter for a small bowl, picked up a mouthful of sesame paste noodles, and handed it to Xu Qingmeng so she could try it before he began to eat himself.

Gu Yunyi took a bite and found it quite delicious. However, he often ate the noodles that Xu Qingmeng made at home, so it wasn't particularly outstanding, but compared to others, it was already very good.

"Delicious! This is exactly what you need for a bowl of cold noodles on a hot summer day. It's really great." Zhou Yuanjia let out a satisfied sigh.

The others nodded in agreement.

Huang Boyang only felt relieved after paying close attention to the feedback from the others.

As Huang Boyang ate his noodles, he remarked, "If we added some chili oil, it would taste even better and be more stimulating. Right now, it's a bit bland."

Everyone at the table had eaten chili oil before, except for Jiang Mingyu, who didn't live in Quan County. He asked about it as soon as Huang Boyang finished speaking.
"I think I heard about this chili oil once before. It's made by your family, Brother Gu, right? The person said that the taste is absolutely amazing, and the mushroom chili sauce is also wonderful. It goes well with any food."

Gu Yunyi smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated, but it does go very well with these noodles."

Turning his head to look at Xu Qingmeng, Gu Yunyi frowned. She hadn't drunk much soup, but she had eaten quite a lot of noodles.

"The noodles are a bit cold, have some soup first before eating."

Xu Qingmeng looked up at him, then pushed the bowl of soup in front of him, gesturing for him to try it.

Gu Yunyi was very puzzled, then picked it up and took a bite, and immediately frowned.

The soup didn't have any seasonings added, so the flavor was very bland. If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, but it also had a fishy smell, which made my mouth feel very uncomfortable.

"Cough cough, never mind, I'd better not drink it." He put the soup aside, then drank a glass of water to rinse his mouth, and then asked the waiter to bring a pot of hot water.

Xu Qingmeng smiled gently. This person was very picky, just like Yun Sheng and Yun Mo. In fact, it was because she had spoiled him.

Seeing this, Sun Jingyi felt a pang of jealousy. They were both husband and wife, but looking at the other couple and then at the people around her enjoying their meal, she felt even angrier.

She couldn't help but pinch Jiang Mingyu, but not hard.

Jiang Mingyu, puzzled, turned to ask, "Wife, what's wrong?"

Sun Jingyi raised her chin, gesturing for Jiang Mingyu to look.

Who knew this fool misunderstood? The moment he looked up, Gu Yunyi had already discarded the soup, and was even smiling as he said...

"Look, I was just about to say something like, 'Why order hot soup on such a hot day? Isn't that a waste?'"

Gu Yunyi smiled and said, "These cold noodles are quite cold; drinking something hot is better for your health."

Everyone knew that he was doing this for Xu Qingmeng, who was pregnant, and that it was right to take extra care of her. They all smiled kindly.

Just then, the waiter brought over the hot water. Jiang Mingyu, who also had a wife, decided to pour one for his wife after Gu Yunyi poured one for Xu Qingmeng.
