Chapter 15 Braised Food
Xu Qingmeng's braised dishes are very flavorful. She told He that if customers wanted, she could add some braising broth and stir it in.

After Madam He understood, Xu Qingmeng went inside. There were still some mung bean cakes left, so she went in and took them out. If anyone bought more, she would give them an extra piece.

There was still some tofu pudding left, but when Xu Erge came before, Xu Qingmeng took all the tofu pudding back with him.

"Sister-in-law Gu, this fresh food smells delicious! How much is it?"

"Yeah, I heard you talking about this braised food this morning, but it just looks like braised meat, doesn't it?"

"But the aroma is making my mouth water; it's everywhere."

The aroma of the steamed buns in the morning was truly irresistible, attracting a large number of customers.

Mrs. He greeted them with a smile and explained, "This is no ordinary braised meat. It's my daughter-in-law's special braised dish. You can all try it; the taste is extraordinary."

As she spoke, Mrs. He picked up a small tasting dish from the side and handed it out to the onlookers one by one. Even if the taste was good, the price was still not low, so the tasting was necessary.

After trying it, many people nodded in approval, and some even smacked their lips in lingering relish.

Soon, those with some money to spare would buy some, while others, really craving meat, would buy vegetables like potatoes and tofu instead.

In the end, the vegetarian dishes were the most numerous, but they were the first to sell out. The meat dishes were not plentiful to begin with, but some were still left over.

Madam He wasn't worried, after all, she had great confidence in Xu Qingmeng's cooking skills, and once they tasted it, they would definitely crave it.

As long as they keep thinking about it, they'll definitely come back again. Once is never enough; after all, it's only the first day, and many people still don't know that Gu Family Restaurant has reopened and is selling food again.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. He was about to pack up and go home when she saw someone hurrying over.

"Shopkeeper, have you sold out of food?" A young nobleman hurried over.

He was delighted when she heard this. Yes, yes! When she opened it, there were two pig's trotters, a piece of braised meat, and a large bowl of fatty intestines left.

After all, Xu Qingmeng sells braised pork intestines for the same price as meat. Even though some people have tried it and found it to be quite delicious, very few people buy it because they feel it's not worth the price.

The young nobleman's eyes lit up. "I didn't expect the restaurant to serve braised pork intestines!"

"Has the young master eaten?"

The young nobleman nodded, his face full of nostalgia. "I was fortunate enough to have this taste once when I traveled to the South a few years ago. The flavor was absolutely amazing, but it's rarely seen, so I haven't had it for many years."

"Would you like to try some, young master?"

He said with a smile, and at the same time brought out the bowl of braised pork intestines, and a fragrant aroma immediately filled the air.

The young nobleman sniffed it, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. "This smell is quite nostalgic."

As he spoke, he took the chopsticks that Mrs. He handed him, picked up a piece of fatty intestine, put it in his mouth, and savored it carefully.

"Hmm, it tastes good." The young master nodded in satisfaction. "The braised pork intestines are very flavorful and the texture is just right. They retain the freshness of the intestines while removing the fishy smell. It's really rare. It tastes much better than what I've had before."

Upon hearing this, Madam He's face lit up with joy. "Thank you for your kind words, young master. These were specially made by my daughter-in-law. If you like them, you may take some back with you."

The young nobleman smiled slightly, "That's exactly what I was thinking."

As he spoke, he bought all the remaining braised pork intestines and also asked Mrs. He to pack up the remaining pig trotters and braised meat.

Mrs. He was overjoyed and quickly packed everything up. She even gave the remaining few pieces of mung bean cake to the young master, saying...
"Young master, these are mung bean cakes made by my daughter-in-law. Please try them when you get home; they're delicious, sweet but not cloying." The young master thanked him and then asked, "Will there be any more tomorrow?"

"Yes, yes, young master, you can come again tomorrow. My family still has steamed buns and tofu pudding in the morning, you can come and have a taste."

The young nobleman nodded and turned to leave.

Watching his departing figure, Madam He secretly rejoiced. She then quickly packed up her stall and, once the front hall was tidied up, she closed the door.

In the kitchen, Xu Qingmeng was kneading dough, while Gu Yunyi, Yun Sheng, and He Yunmo were serving dishes.

Xu Qingmeng had been busy all day, so she didn't make anything too complicated. She made something very simple. She had just kneaded the dough and before it had risen, she took a piece, put some chopped green onions on it, and made a few simple green onion pancakes.

Xu Qingmeng had saved some of the braised dishes, so she cut up a plate of both meat and vegetables, stir-fried some hot and sour shredded potatoes, and also stewed some pork bone soup, which was quite delicious.

When the food was served, Xu Qingmeng drank a bowl of soup, which warmed her up considerably before she began to eat.

She cooks quickly and efficiently, but eats slowly and deliberately. Although she is quite overweight, she now exudes an elegant and composed demeanor in every gesture.

Gu Yunyi had only been observing casually, but as he looked, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

He discovered that Xu Qingmeng had changed completely ever since the day she drugged him and forced herself on him.

But the person is still the same, but their personality and overall demeanor are completely different.

This kind of temperament cannot be faked; it flows out naturally, and she probably doesn't even know it herself.

"Cough cough."

Gu Yunyi suddenly snapped back to his senses and met He Shi's gaze. His usually expressionless face instantly turned red.

Xu Qingmeng was puzzled, then stared at He Shi, assuming she had caught a chill, and quickly asked,
"Mom, what's wrong? Did you catch a cold? Is your throat sore?"

Upon hearing this, Madam He appeared taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening. Xu Qingmeng, unaware of Gu Yunyi's unusual behavior, smiled and waved her hand, saying...

"It's alright, Mom just ate a little too fast, it's nothing."

Xu Qingmeng was relieved, but still couldn't help but give some advice.

"Mother, it's still a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings, so we should be careful."

"Alright, Mother knows. Before, you slept in separate rooms because Yunyi wasn't feeling well. Now that Yunyi is much better, shouldn't you sleep in the same room?"

Xu Qingmeng looked at Gu Yunyi and then quickly said, "Mother, my husband is only a little better. I'm too fat. If I accidentally step on him, his body might not be able to take it. Let's wait and see."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunyi glanced at Xu Qingmeng. Before, she wanted to be with him all the time and had marital relations with him, even resorting to drugging him. Now, however, she refused, which Gu Yunyi couldn't understand at all.

After hearing this, Madam He was somewhat disappointed, but considering that Xu Qingmeng's words made sense, she did not insist, and simply said,
"Then you can decide for yourselves. I was just saying that."

Xu Qing dreamed that Madam He did not bring up the topic again, and her heart instantly relaxed.

Seeing her like this, Gu Yunyi was unhappy, his face growing darker and darker. He hadn't even shown any disdain for her!
