Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 252 Bamboo Rhyme Studio

"I heard you bought a shop around here. What are you planning to do with it? Is it still related to food?"

"Yes, but it's still under renovation and not ready yet. Mengniang is having a baby, so we plan to reopen after the New Year."

"Really? But your wife's cooking is excellent, so her business won't be bad. The weather's perfect today, take me to check it out," Mr. Shen said, wiping his mouth after finishing his breakfast.

Gu Yunyi naturally had no reason not to agree, so he helped his master out. Xu Qingmeng was tidying up in the kitchen at the time, and when she saw the two of them come out, she came out of the kitchen as well.

According to Gu Yunyi, the gentleman wanted to visit the shops on Elm Street and then led the way.

However, we haven't decided on a name for the shop yet, but the interior decoration is almost finished.

"Have you decided on a name yet?" Mr. Shen asked.

Xu Qingmeng scratched her head and said, "Not yet, sir? I've thought of a few, but haven't decided yet."

"Really? Tell me about it, and I'll give you some advice."

"Elegant Pavilion, Fragrant Pavilion, Grand View Pavilion".

"They're all good!" Mr. Shen said after hearing this.

"Mengniang thinks they're all pretty good, so she's torn between them," Gu Yunyi said, looking at Xu Qingmeng with affection.

"Oh, I see!" The man couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Qingmeng pinched Gu Yunyi's arm shyly.

"What do you think of Zhuyunzhai?" Mr. Shen asked, looking at the two of them.

Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi both nodded, thinking that the gentleman's suggestion was very good. They thought that the gentleman must like it very much, otherwise he would not have brought up the name of the shop, nor would he have offered to write a few pieces for the empty space for calligraphy and paintings.

Xu Qing agreed without hesitation. There were still many places that needed to hang calligraphy and paintings. Gu Yunyi had originally planned to do it himself, but after having a child, he had less time. If he really waited for himself, he didn't know when he would be able to do it.

Moreover, Mr. Shen was a scholar who passed the imperial examination twice and was also Gu Yunyi's teacher. Shouldn't his calligraphy and painting be better than Gu Yunyi's?
Moreover, the book mentions that many scholars and literati greatly admire Mr. Shen. If Mr. Shen's calligraphy and paintings were displayed there, many people would come to Zhuyunzhai just to see his works. This would be a form of invisible publicity!
Later, Xu Qingmeng had to go back to breastfeed the baby, so she returned to the Gu family home shortly afterward, leaving Gu Yunyi to accompany Mr. Shen on his shopping trip.

When Gu Yunyi returned home, Xu Qingmeng noticed him and was surprised that her husband hadn't come along.

"The gentleman said he wanted to try Xiaoyu's cooking, so he didn't come along." Xu Qingmeng understood.

"But~"

Xu Qingmeng looked at him in surprise, "But what?" "Didn't we agree that I would be in charge of all the calligraphy and paintings in the shop? Why did you agree to that, sir?" Gu Yunyi said with a regretful expression.

"I can't refuse, can I? Besides, look at yourself, how much time have you spent here since they were born? Whenever the little ones are awake, whenever you're home, aren't you always playing with them?"

"Besides, it's not long before the New Year. Do you have enough time to display so many calligraphy and paintings? Furthermore, although I haven't seen Mr. Shen's calligraphy and paintings before, since he is your teacher, they must be of high quality. He brought them up himself, and you're acting all wronged. Displaying his calligraphy and paintings can give us some indirect publicity, isn't that great?"

"The gentleman's calligraphy and painting are undoubtedly excellent, and I have no grievances whatsoever. I just feel that this was prepared together..."

Xu Qingmeng glanced at him and immediately understood. In modern terms, he was a hopeless romantic, and his love for Zhizhi was so intense that he was definitely a doting father.

No wonder Mr. Shen said he wasn't like a real man earlier. He had that sticky, gooey vibe.

Gu Yunyi also understood that if it weren't for Zhizhi and Ruirui, he would definitely be fine on his own. Right now, he really spends most of his free time with the two children. If he were to come alone, he might not be able to make it in time after the New Year.

The atmosphere of the Lunar New Year is getting stronger, the festive spirit is getting stronger, there are more and more people selling New Year's goods on the streets, and people are getting busier and busier taking care of their families.

Due to the popularity of hot pot restaurants, the opening of various branches of noodle shops, and the introduction of various channels by the noodle shop owners, the demand for chili oil has increased dramatically. Not only that, but many restaurants have also approached us privately to cooperate.

Xu Qingmeng is now extremely grateful that she kept so many people back then. If the orders are still this many after the New Year, she will definitely have to buy some more people.

The popularity of this red chili oil is so high that the business of this hot pot restaurant is booming. Now, He Shi and Xin Ting have no time to stay at home. They go out to help every day. Even the cook at home is busy making various hot pot bases every day.

Even more so, many people asked whether Gu's hot pot base was sold separately. Xu Qingmeng had actually considered it, but there was no suitable packaging available at the moment, so she had to give up.

Knowing that his family was quite busy, Gu Yunyi turned down almost all invitations and gatherings from his classmates and stayed at home. When the child woke up, he would take care of the child, and when the child was asleep, he would go to the study to write and paint. This caused many classmates to gossip behind his back.

Of course, whether he was antisocial or afraid of his wife, Gu Yunyi had no idea, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

However, the chili oil workshop will stop taking orders after the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, and the hot pot restaurant has already agreed to close on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month and reopen on the 8th of the first lunar month. After all, it is her first New Year in this world, and she has two more lives to carry on. She feels that money can always be earned.

The news came as quite a surprise. Mrs. He thought she had misheard, so she confirmed it with Xu Qingmeng again and even counted on her fingers that it would take eight days in total.

"Mengniang, hasn't this been sitting out for too long?"

Not only will the hot pot restaurant be closed for so many days, but the workshop will also be closed after finishing the orders on hand. With so many days of work, how much money will be lost? Mrs. He is still a little heartbroken.

He Shi's expression was so obvious that Xu Qingmeng felt a little sorry for her when she saw it and was about to agree. However, Gu Yunyi noticed and said, "Mother, this year is the first year that Mengniang has come to our family, and it is also the first year that your eldest grandson and granddaughter have come into this world. It won't hurt to stay a few more days."

Mrs. He thought about it and agreed, "Alright!"
