Chapter 1276
1276 A Table Full of Braised Intestines
“Mei Mei, this entire table of meat dishes is really too greasy. I don’t think my body can take it,” Qiao Qiang said with a troubled expression.
“I have already prepared a plate of vegetables for you! You can just try a bit of each dish and give me your feedback,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
During this period of time, Qiao Mei was busy with all these things at home and the two babies had also moved back to her house with her. Xia Zhe was the one who stayed at home every day to take care of the children, not Qiao Mei.
...When the neighbors saw this, they were all locked in a heated discussion. They had not heard of the woman going out to work while the man took care of the children at home. However, Qiao Mei did not care about the opinions of these people at all. They could say whatever they wanted. It was none of her business as long as they did not stop her from making money.
Xia Wen came to Qiao Mei’s place as soon as he got off work. He even brought along many toys for the two children. From the moment the children were born until now, the toys which Xia Wen had bought for them could already fill up every inch of the two children’s rooms! He had almost brought back every item available in the toy shop!
“I can already smell the fragrance from the door. What is it that smells so good?” Xia Wen asked.
“Eldest Brother, you’re here at the right time. Come and take a look at my new dish! Braised intestines!” Qiao Mei said confidently.
“I never expected you to like things with such strong taste… Don’t tell me you only made braised intestines?” Xia Wen looked at Qiao Mei fearfully.
Qiao Mei never expected that Xia Wen did not like to eat such things and said with a troubled expression, “You can eat vegetables with my grandfather then! There’s a lot of stir-fried vegetables in the kitchen!”
After everyone finished eating Qiao Mei’s dishes, they were full of praise for her. Qiao Mei numbered all the flavors and asked everyone to vote for the one they liked the most. She would solely focus on that flavor from now on!
“I thought you’re going to sell seeds? Why are you doing this as well?” Xia Wen asked.
“The more the merrier! Will anyone think that having more money is a bothersome thing?” Qiao Mei said.
“Eldest Brother, it’s not like you don’t know that my wife is a little money-grubber. As long as it’s something related to earning money, she’s always the first one there,” Xia Zhe said laughingly.
Xia Zhe had only recently discovered that Qiao Mei was like a little god of wealth. As long as it was something related to earning money, Qiao Mei could always seize the business opportunity promptly.
Xia Wen gave Qiao Mei a brief update about the search for the factory. Qiao Qiang was not interested in such things and brought the four children out for a walk in the park.
The rest of the group were looking forward to having this matter settled as soon as possible. Although they had already rented the factory, the fixtures and fittings were really too old and could no longer be used. They still had to find professionals to do some repairs.
Since she was going into the food business, she must pay particular attention to the hygiene aspect. People in this era did not have an awareness of such things at the moment, but in the future, this would be a major issue. For the sake of their future, Qiao Mei intended to have strict requirements right from the beginning.
Otherwise, it would be too late when someone reported her to the authorities!
Many enterprises failed due to the issue of food safety, so Qiao Mei could not afford to be careless at all.
After many days, the day finally came for Qian’e to be discharged from the hospital. Ever since Zheng Peng fainted, there had been no news of him at all. Luo Yu brought her straight to the courtyard house where Zhou Shuang and the rest lived. Qiao Mei was already waiting for her there.
“I know you don’t want to return to the place you used to stay. This is my house. The people living in the front yard are all my friends. They’re all nice people and won’t hurt you. I know you’re not used to living with so many people, so I’ve arranged for your room to be in the backyard. You’re the only one living in the backyard,” Qiao Mei said.
Qian’e held Qiao Mei’s hand and said slowly, “You… don’t have to do this for me…”
“When I met with the accident back then, if you hadn’t stayed at my house to take care of my grandfather and my mother, they probably could not cope. You’ve helped me so much, so why don’t you let me help you? Aren’t we good friends for life? Or are you still eyeing Xia Zhe?” Qiao Mei said jokingly.
“Thank you,” Qian’e said.
“Why are you thanking me? If you really want to thank me, then come and help me! I have so many businesses but no one to help me! Aren’t you already thinking of getting a new job?” Qiao Mei said.
