Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 293 Did I miss my meal?
Gu Yunyi was leading Sixth Master through what looked like private rooms to the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard wasn't large, but Xu Qingmeng had left a few rooms and a small living room when she renovated it.

This is the place Xu Qingmeng kept for herself and her family to rest.

After having tea and snacks served to Sixth Master, Gu Yunyi went straight to the kitchen.

Xu Qingmeng had almost finished preparing all the dishes and was having them served!

Xu Qingmeng was surprised to see Gu Yunyi: "Why are you back at this time? Did your uncle come back with you?"

"No, my uncle is quite busy. I came back with Sixth Master."

If Gu Yunyi hadn't known that today was the opening day of Xu Qingmeng's Zhuyunzhai, he would never have allowed him to take leave, not even his own nephew.

"Are you done with your work?"

"Okay, that's about it. Let's get ready to serve the food."

Gu Yunyi's return is very helpful, after all, on the first day of business, one of the three tables of people who came were there just to show their support.

If Manager Lin were to receive Qiao Mingyu's group, it would seem like a lack of sincerity, and it wouldn't be appropriate for Xu Qingmeng, a woman, to be alone.

Besides, she's not really good at this anyway, so now that Gu Yunyi is back, she can just push everything onto him.

The dishes were all ready, so they could be served immediately. Gu Yunyi, Aunt Rong, and Lin Lei carried the dishes out together.

However, before leaving the kitchen, he told Xu Qingmeng that Sixth Master had come back with him.

Xu Qingmeng had originally planned to stop, but after hearing this, she decided to cook a few more dishes.

Gu Yunyi waved his hand and said, "No need. Sixth Master didn't come here specifically to be a guest today. He can just eat with us later."

"Isn't this bad?"

"It's alright, there's still a long way to go. Besides, it's probably time for Zhizhi and Ruirui to be fed by now. Go back and check on them. You can leave things here to Xinting."

Xinting was preparing lunch for them, so she quickly replied, "Auntie, you don't need to get involved anymore. I can cook it. You can go back now."

Seeing that both of them said the same thing, Xu Qingmeng stopped insisting and said with a smile, "Alright, then you do your job well. I'll go back and come back soon."

"Don't worry, Auntie!"

Only after Xu Qingmeng agreed did Gu Yunyi feel relieved enough to leave.

Even though he came back a little late, the moment he entered the kitchen, he saw the two large iron pots and the same dishes on all three tables. Stir-frying was definitely a physically demanding job.

The people at all three tables were already eagerly waiting.

The moment the doorbell rang, everyone's eyes lit up.

Here they are, the food is served. First up is Qiao Mingyu's table.

"I apologize for keeping you all waiting."

Gu Yunyi walked in front, followed by Lin Lei carrying vegetables and Aunt Rong.

"No, no, Brother Gu, you flatter me." Qiao Mingyu stood up and exchanged pleasantries with Gu Yunyi.

"I was a little late because of some other matters and was unable to personally greet you. I hope you will forgive me, Brother Qiao."

"We're all acquaintances, why be so polite?"

As the two exchanged pleasantries, all the dishes were already on the table. A delicious aroma wafted through the air from the entrance, and Qiao Mingyu and Gu Yunyi talked while their eyes remained fixed on the food.

Gu Yunyi wasn't oblivious to such things, and then said with a smile, "Then I won't disturb your meal any longer. If you need anything, just call someone; there are people waiting outside."

"Alright, alright, Brother Gu, you go ahead with your work, we can handle it ourselves."

The way they were trying to get rid of us was so obvious; they were practically saying, "Get out of here, you're making us eat."

Not only Qiao Mingyu thought so, but everyone he invited also thought so: Why isn't this person leaving yet!

After all, they were all well-known figures in the outside world, and it wasn't appropriate to show too much in front of outsiders. Looking at their eager expressions, Gu Yunyi suddenly realized: this really was a delay for them.

Gu Yunyi watched as Aunt Rong served and arranged the last dish, then quickly led his people out.

Before the door was even closed, a voice came from inside: "This is the smell! This smell is amazing! I can't wait any longer, I want to try it first."

Gu Yunyi stood at the door for a moment until he heard exclamations and praises coming from inside, so much so that he could hear the sound of people eating through the door.

Gu Yunyi smiled faintly, already knowing in his heart that his wife was completely settled.

He turned to Lin Lei beside him and whispered, "You wait here. Report back immediately if anything happens. We'll be in the backyard."

Lin Lei nodded repeatedly.

After Gu Yunyi left, Lin Lei subconsciously looked inside, but saw nothing. However, the smell coming from the crack in the door was incredibly enticing.

So hungry!

I'm already looking forward to lunch.

Aunt Rong was busy again, this time heading to the other two private rooms, where Manager Lin had already gone.

Xu Qingmeng went back to the Gu family home to see the children. Gu Yunyi and the other two tables of guests had finished eating and started eating before returning to the backyard.

Xinting has already prepared several dishes. Manager Lin, Lin Lei, Aunt Rong, and others are in charge of the kitchen and three private rooms. Xu Qingmeng has also returned to Zhuyunzhai after breastfeeding her child.

Sixth Master had obviously been waiting for quite some time.

However, Xu Qingmeng had already asked Manager Lin to send over some food and snacks. The food was delicious, so Sixth Master didn't feel there was anything wrong with waiting.

He knew about the Gu family's meals. Pei Cheng was just too busy, otherwise he would go back to the Gu family every day to freeload a meal. What was a little extra waiting if he could get a free meal?

Although Xu Qingmeng didn't cook this meal, Xinting's culinary skills are quite good now, and she can cook quite a few dishes. Although the plating wasn't as exquisite as the guests', it was still a very sumptuous meal.

Thanks to Xu Qingmeng's tutelage, the food tasted excellent. They ate quickly, but the people in the private room ate even faster.

Qiao Mingyu's table finished eating first and was about to pay the bill and leave when Manager Lin hurriedly came to the backyard to tell Gu Yunyi.

Xu Qingmeng was very confident in her cooking skills. After all, whenever she cooked, Gu Yunyi and the others would only focus on eating and had no time to chat.

So it's not surprising anymore.

Not long after Qiao Mingyu left, the other two tables also said they had finished eating and were ready to pay the bill.

Logically, Qiao Mingyu should have stayed to exchange pleasantries with Gu Yunyi and the others, since they were quite familiar with each other. However, it seemed that he had something to do, so he left in a hurry after finishing his meal.

However, Young Master Lin did not rush to leave. Instead, he stayed and chatted with Gu Yunyi.

"Master Gu, actually, besides having dinner, there's something else I'd like to discuss with you today."
