Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 150 Business is too good!

The fire in the stove, which was on the verge of dying out, suddenly blazed up again.

What did you prepare for lunch?

Xu Qingmeng lifted the lid of the large pot and took a look.

A large plate of chopped eggplant was placed on the steamer, along with steamed buns and a bowl of steamed egg custard.

The eggplant was cut reasonably well, not unevenly shaped, and the steamed egg custard looked pretty good too.

Xu Qingmeng was quite surprised, and raised an eyebrow at Gu Yunyi: "Not bad! It's quite a lot, you made it."

Gu Yunyi coughed twice to cover his embarrassment: "Hehe, well, I only put in two steamed buns, the rest was prepared by Brother Fang."

"I noticed my sister-in-law had left some chili oil, so I peeled some garlic and planned to make an eggplant salad. Yuanbao wanted steamed egg, so I steamed it. But it was my first time making it, so I don't know if it will turn out well."

"There's also mung bean porridge cooking under the steamer. I was thinking that if you come back late, the mung bean porridge will be cold, so I can bring it to you. It'll be cool and refreshing."

"It was Brother Gu who suggested sending the food. I also stir-fried two simple vegetarian dishes. I can't make up for the meat ones."

Xu Qingmeng glanced at Gu Yunyi and felt quite pleased. He even thought of bringing food. Not bad!
Children can be taught!
Xu Qingmeng glanced at it and saw that Fang Ziheng had stir-fried tomatoes and eggs, stir-fried some green beans, and added the eggplant in the pan. She thought it would be about the same.

They had planned to add some meat, but it was too hot and meat wouldn't keep well. They were out of meat at home, and they had been chatting so happily on their way back that they had forgotten about it.

After thinking about it, I simply made another cold dish that was like a mixed stew. With what Fang Ziheng made, that made a simple lunch.

To be honest, Fang Ziheng's cooking skills are not bad; the food is salty and flavorful, not bad at all.

Hui Niang said with a smile, "My cooking skills aren't good enough, so he'll have to do it himself."

"Hahaha!"

······
At noon, Xu Qingmeng rested for a while. When she got up, Huiniang was already busy.

Seeing Hui Niang's excited expression, Xu Qingmeng realized that she was still basking in the excitement of making money that morning. When she saw that Xu Qingmeng had gotten up, she quickly said, "Why don't you all rest for a while? I've almost finished preparing the ingredients, but I'm worried that there will be too many people tonight and we won't have enough ingredients, so I went to buy some more. Can you see if there's anything else we're missing or that we need to prepare?"

Hui Niang handles the things she cares about very meticulously. Don't let her carefree attitude fool you; she's actually very meticulous when it comes to work.

He speaks and acts very well, which is why Xu Qingmeng is willing to be with him.

Although this business is quite profitable, Xu Qingmeng's health has been taken into consideration. Making money is a small matter, but health is the most important thing. Originally, they were thinking of not setting up the stall in the afternoon, but Xu Qingmeng insisted.

Looking at all the ingredients Hui Niang had prepared, Xu Qingmeng couldn't help but say, "Why don't you take a break at noon? You've been busy all this time since you ate lunch, there's no need to rush."

"It's alright. I don't usually rest at home either. It's good to have something to do now, so I won't get bored."

Xu Qingmeng knew that Huiniang wanted her to sit for a while longer so that she could rest more.

Xu Qingmeng was still touched. She smiled and didn't say anything, but she understood.

Although Xu Qingmeng was pregnant, she was still very quick to respond, and the two of them worked together very well.

They quickly blanched the ingredients, then placed the chili oil and some seasonings on a small cart, and the two left together.

In the morning, the two were unsure how business was going and worried that the vegetables would spoil in the heat, so they hadn't filled the jars completely. Now, the jars are full, and they've brought three kinds of chili oil this time: mild, medium, and regular spicy, so they can adjust the flavor according to the customers' preferences.

Actually, I brought two kinds this morning, but I got busy and forgot about it.

"Ladies, you've arrived. The sun is almost setting; you're probably a bit late," said the woman who runs the steamed bun shop.

Hui Niang quickly replied, "My sister is pregnant, and I wanted her to rest. I didn't stay idle either; I went back and started working right away. I'm already quite early."

"That's true, health is still quite important."

The owner of the steamed bun shop chuckled and said, "You think it's still early? But look, several people have already come to wait. There's Old Li selling snacks over there, and that old man with the goatee over there. These people greeted us early on, saying to tell them when you arrive."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingmeng and Huiniang quickly and efficiently parked the stroller.

Hui Niang said apologetically, "Um, everyone, I'm really sorry. This is our first day setting up a stall here. We're so sorry."

The people sitting behind the wonton and steamed bun stalls stood up and said with a smile, "Don't listen to what he said. We're all from around here. There aren't many people in the stalls right now. We're just killing time, so we came over to chat and wait for you to set up your stalls."

"That's right, that's right. My wife, business is a small matter; your health is the most important thing."

Whether they were waiting specifically for them or just passing by, they were all guests, and Xu Qingmeng and Huiniang naturally couldn't neglect them.

The first wave of business in the afternoon started with these few people.

These people all own shops, and each of them weighs three or four boxes, with each box weighing a full half jin (250 grams). In the end, each of them took away a full two jin (1 kg).

Xu Qingmeng filled them to the brim, each person getting more than they needed, and two people even bought six boxes, which weighed more than four pounds.

The owner of the steamed bun stall was very envious. After the group had walked away, he couldn't help but say, "It's still better to have a shop. Those people are all rich and don't have to worry about the price when they eat a cold dish."

Unlike him, who wants to eat but doesn't dare to indulge, he has to be stingy and reluctant to buy even a pound.

The old lady couldn't stand it anymore: "Old man, what are you muttering about? Girl, give us a pound, the spiciest one."

Xu Qingmeng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alright! Auntie."

"Old woman, why are you so stingy? Just buy half a pound to try."

"What's wrong? I've done this my whole life, and all I want is to eat a cold dish? You can't even do that?"

"Ahem, that's not what I meant. How about we buy another half a pound? There are a lot of people in my family."

"You, I think you're the one who wants to eat the most, but you don't want to spend the money, yet you still want to eat."

The steamed bun stall owner felt embarrassed by what was said and quickly went back to work.

Honestly, the steamed buns and mantou sold at this stall are doing better than many shops with storefronts.

They've been here for several days and have eaten at several different places, but none of them are as delicious as this old lady's.
