Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 11 Pig into the water

Xu Qingmeng bought two chickens and a duck, as well as some peanuts, bean curd sheets, tofu, kelp, and other vegetarian dishes, and some fresh vegetables.

Xu Qingmeng bought some more soybeans, planning to add them to her steamed buns, soy milk, and tofu pudding when she sells them tomorrow morning. She also bought some mung beans to make mung bean cakes for the two little ones.

After buying everything, I saw Yunmo, who was following me obediently, so I bought some candy, thinking of giving the two little ones a treat first.

On their way back from shopping with Yunmo, Xu Qingmeng saw a vendor selling candied hawthorns again. However, the candied hawthorns now only came in one variety: bright red hawthorns, five on a skewer, costing three coins per skewer.

Xu Qingmeng's eyes widened at the sight of the skewers, and she wanted to eat them too, but then she thought about her figure and decided against it. She bought one skewer each for Yunmo and Yunsheng, and let Yunmo carry it himself.

Yunmo is the kind of child who is perceptive. Even though he was also a little tempted, he saw that Xu Qingmeng wanted to eat some too, so he held the candied hawthorn high and handed it to Xu Qingmeng, saying, "Sister-in-law, you eat it."

Xu Qingmeng felt a warmth in her heart. "Yunmo, eat this. Your sister-in-law doesn't like sour food." She also reminded Yunmo, "Let's go, take the other one home for your sister."

Yunmo followed happily with his short legs.

Yun Sheng was delighted by the candied hawthorns that Xu Qingmeng brought back. She followed behind Xu Qingmeng, constantly calling her "sister-in-law" like a little follower.

Xu Qingmeng first soaked the soybeans and mung beans in water separately, and then tried to make soy milk and tofu pudding in the evening. After boiling the eggs, she prepared to wash the pig offal.

Yun Sheng covered her little nose, looked at the thing in Xu Qingmeng's hand with disgust, and then tactically retreated.

"Sister-in-law, this stuff smells awful, why are you making this?"

“This is delicious,” Xu Qingmeng quickened her pace, then looked at the pig intestines in her hand, trying to clean and remove the smell as quickly as possible.

Pork intestines are a rather special ingredient. If cooked well, they can be even more delicious than meat, and they can be addictive. However, this is not certain, as the distribution of people who like the taste is unpredictable. After all, people who don't like the taste won't be able to bring themselves to eat it, no matter how delicious it is.

This stuff is incredibly cheap here, but if it's made well, it can sell for a high price. I don't know if everyone here will like it, but there will definitely be some people who will.

Yun Sheng couldn't stand the smell any longer and quickly ran inside, leaving Xu Qingmeng alone in the courtyard to wash. Madam He hadn't returned yet.

Before long, Madam He returned. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Xu Qingmeng washing the stinking pig intestines. She quickly went to the kitchen and boiled a large pot of water.

At this moment, Yunmo also helped Gu Yunyi out to bask in the sun. As soon as Yunmo came out, she quickly pinched her nose and said in disgust,
"Brother, let's go back, the yard smells awful."

Yunmo's voice... wasn't he taking care of Gu Yunyi?

Xu Qing dreamt of something and suddenly turned around, only to see Gu Yunyi standing not far away, his body looking as if he might collapse at any moment.

He held Yunmo's hand in one hand and just looked at her like that.

"Why did you come out? It's chilly outside. You've only just recovered. You should go back to your room quickly," she said, instinctively trying to get up and help him.

Gu Yunyi was about to say something when Yunmo quickly stopped him.
"Sister-in-law, don't come any closer! You really stink!"

Xu Qingmeng paused, then remembered that her clothes were stained with a lot of dirty water while washing pig intestines. However, Xu Qingmeng immediately became angry, placing her hands on her hips and glaring at Yun Mo.

"Who told you to say a girl smells bad? Being fat is also unacceptable, understand?"

Yunmo asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"Do you even want to get married in the future? Even if you really smell bad or are really fat, you can't say that, understand?"

“But children shouldn’t lie!” Xiao Yunmo said firmly.

Xu Qingmeng snorted coldly, "Then you can go hungry at noon and skip lunch."

"No, my sister-in-law isn't fat at all. She smells nice and doesn't stink at all."

Xiao Yunmo quickly changed his mind, afraid that Xu Qingmeng really wouldn't let him eat, after all, his sister-in-law's cooking was delicious.

Xu Qingmeng was finally satisfied, but then she remembered that Gu Yunyi was still there. She saw a slight smile on his lips, and her face instantly turned red. When did she become so childish?

When Madam He came out with the boiled water, she just resolved the awkward situation. "Mengniang, go wash up first. Tell me how to deal with these things, and I'll take care of them."

Xu Qingmeng wasn't being coy. The big shot was still here, and the pig intestines had been washed. She also felt that the smell on her body was very unpleasant.

He then told Mrs. He how to deal with the remaining ingredients.

Chickens and ducks need to be plucked with hot water, but don't chop them up; leave them whole. Pig's trotters also need their outer hair singed off before splitting them in half. The fatty meat should be cut into large chunks. Vegetables are even easier to prepare.
Although He Shi wasn't good at cooking, she had helped Gu Hongxin a lot when he was around. She was capable of handling these things, and after Xu Qingmeng finished speaking, He Shi understood the gist of it.

Xu Qingmeng then went to take a shower without worry.

Xu Qingmeng took a comfortable shower, changed into clean clothes, and looked much more energetic.

Xu Qingmeng walked out of the room and saw Gu Yunyi sitting in the yard, basking in the sun, reading a book.

Xu Qingmeng couldn't help but sigh. The doctor's medical skills were quite good. After only a few doses of medicine, Gu Yunyi's aftereffects from being drugged had improved considerably. He was no longer so weak, and Gu Yunyi could sit in the courtyard for so long. The way he was engrossed in reading was truly pleasing to the eye, except that he was too thin.

Gu Yunyi wasn't actually reading, so when Xu Qingmeng came out, he immediately knew. He closed his book and said seriously...
“My mother told me that you paid for the doctor’s visit and medicine, and I will definitely make it up to you someday.”

Xu Qingmeng paused for a moment, then said, "It's not much money, don't worry about it." She then took the clothes she had changed out of and went to wash them.

Gu Yunyi's mind raced. Xu Qingmeng was still the same person, but her attitude had changed so quickly, and there was also her skill. He wasn't worried about the money; given her family's doting on her, the money was entirely possible. But he couldn't figure out the reason for her change...
When Xu Qingmeng returned after washing the clothes, He Shi had already prepared lunch. However, given He Shi's cooking skills, she simply stir-fried some cabbage and made a few cornbread pancakes. That would be a simple lunch.

After all, Xu Qingmeng's skills were not up to par, so she could only make a simple pancake. Xu Qingmeng didn't mind, but she didn't rush to eat. She first soaked the spices that He Shi had bought in hot water. However, she then remembered that Gu Yunyi was still recovering and that what He Shi made was not suitable for Gu Yunyi, so she decided to make it for him separately.
