Dressed as a blacksmith

After renting the shop, Qiao Yuan was thinking about what to sell in the shop.

First of all, there must be the shop's main flower buns. The complicated patterns need to be customized. On weekdays, some cake-shaped patterns of seven or eight inches are sold.But this must be updated from time to time, and it is best to dazzle people.

The second is dim sum. He knows a lot of Western-style pastries, but there is no electric egg beater here, so it is not suitable for making large quantities.He only intends to make an old-fashioned egg cake, and the person he just hired will beat the eggs and then push the cart to the pier to sell vegetable pancakes.

For small snacks, the sweet ones sell rice cracker candies and dried sweet potatoes, and the salty ones sell meat muffins, millet rice crackers, and multi-flavored peanuts.

Qiao Yuan decided to tentatively decide on these, and then make adjustments based on the actual situation later.

"Then you have to make me a baking pan for making egg cakes. If it's the size, go back to the shop to measure the size of the oven, and then make a manual egg beater." Qiao Yuan roughly drew these two things for Yu Dameng the way things look.

Yu Dameng has always been transparent about ironware, so Qiao Yuan doesn't need to waste his time talking.

The candlelight was flickering, flickering, and Yu Dameng was still practicing Huamo earnestly.

Qiao Yuan looked at him with his chin in his hand, his heart became softer and softer, and he suddenly said, "How about my shop name is Yu Qiao Ji?"

Yu Dameng squeezed Huamo's hand, his face gradually turned red.

Qiao Yuan quickly put away the small table on the bed, took the dough from Yu Dameng's hand, threw him down, and said heroically: "It's late at night, we have to do something that only the two of us know."

......

On the second day, Qiao Yuan proposed to buy dried dates in the village.

Father Yu and Lin Cuifen both agreed, "It's not easy for people in our village to plan food from the fields. If you have other income, you will be happy if you earn more or less, and you can save some money for the New Year."

Qiao Yuan said: "When the shop opens, we will need more dried dates, and now we only charge one hundred catties."

Jujube trees are planted in almost every household in several villages near Xianhe Village, and there are many jujube trees along the roadside.Jujubes taste sweet, and after they are planted, they are either left for the family to make tooth sacrifices, or sold in the county town for money, but the bad thing is that there are too many jujubes in this area. Anyway, few families in Xianhe Village bring jujubes to the city. It can be exchanged for money.

Yu Shanwu heard it from the side, and ran over to Qiao Yuan and said, "Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, can we accept Brother An's family?"

Qiao Yuan didn't know who he was talking about, Brother An, but Lin Cuifen told him, "Brother An's father served with Da Meng that year, but he was a corvee, and he died while repairing the bridge. No. His uncles don’t care about him, and now he relies on his mother to wash and sew clothes for others, and the two mothers are also pitiful."

When Qiao Yuan heard this, he was unavoidably afraid of Yu Dameng, so he immediately made a decision and decided to keep him at Brother An's house.

Yu Shanwu was so happy that he ran out like crazy to tell An Geer the good news.

Ange'er's mother burst into tears when she heard the news, what's the use of her relatives, it's better to have no one as black-hearted as her uncles.On the contrary, it is completely irrelevant villagers who can still think of them.

She wiped away her tears and said, "Just watch and give it to me?"

Qiao Yuan washed two dates, ate one by himself, and stuffed another into Yu Dameng's mouth, commenting: "This date is so sweet."

And they are all very big, and it can be seen that she specially selected them.

Qiao Yuan gave some more, and took it at the rate of two cents per catty. Before leaving, he said to her: "Sister-in-law, my shop also needs some side dishes on weekdays. You can have more, and bring them to my house as soon as possible. We directly to the county."

An Ge'er's mother nodded happily, the two hundred Wen was enough for her and An Ge'er to live for a while.

After leaving Ange'er's house, Qiao Yuan sighed, "Life is full of emotions."

When Yu Dameng heard this, he hesitated and asked him: "You...were you like this in the past?"

"Before?" Looking back, Qiao Yuan felt that everything was in a trance, parents didn't love her, relatives didn't want to see her, and the days when she was ignored seemed to be a thing of the past life.

Life is good now, he didn't want to think about the past, so he grabbed Yu Dameng's hand and deliberately made troubles: "Why are you always talking about the past? Are you deliberately making me unhappy?"

Yu Dameng became nervous, and his accent came out again, "I...I just want to know..."

He shut up wisely, but he didn't know anything about what seemed to have offended the little husband.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Fu Lang slipped into his arms, moaning, "I used to have a miserable life."

The little husband raised his head, his eyes sparkling and he smiled, "So you have to love me well."

Yu Dameng couldn't think in his head anymore, he subconsciously said in a hoarse voice: "Well, I...I'll make it up for you."

"Big fool." Qiao Yuan hummed twice, leaning quietly on Yu Dameng's chest, feeling that there is no better moment than now.

After a moment of tenderness, the two discussed business again, "The shop still needs some baskets, and I plan to buy bamboo baskets directly at Aunt Wu's house. In addition, I want to ask her to send some meat to grandma every now and then, so I can make up for it."

Yuanshen used to live next door to the Wu family, and knew the Wu family quite well. There are many families in this family, and the frame weaving skills are also good. In addition, Wu Erping and Wu Sanping have a good relationship with Yu Dameng, and they often come to his house to help. This money is naturally given priority to those who have good relationships with them.

As for Qiao Wang's, due to the fact that she has been too busy running business recently, and Xu Xiuhua has made people sick, Qiao Yuan has not visited her recently, and only sent Yu Shanwen and Yu Shanwu to send a lot of errands there on weekdays. nice one.Now that he has more money in hand, he wants to take better care of Mrs. Qiao Wang.

Yu Dameng said: "I listen to you."

Brother Yuan has always made up his mind about his family's affairs.

The two of them put the jujubes home and went to Wu's house again. Aunt Wu was overjoyed when she heard their intentions, and said confidently: "Brother Yuan just said what style you want, and we can make it up for you!"

Qiao Yuan briefly described the shape of the baskets he wanted. Aunt Wu listened carefully and said with determination: "I'll make up one for each, and then I'll take it to your house. You can see if you're satisfied with it or not with me." If I am satisfied, I will edit it accordingly.”

"Auntie is still thoughtful." Qiao Yuan complimented, and said: "I came to see Aunt Wu today, but I actually have something to ask."

Aunt Wu smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, why are you being so polite to Auntie? I also watched you grow up, so I can tell you straight up."

Qiao Yuan said: "I would like to ask my aunt to help me to bring some meat to my grandma. I can make it once every three days. On weekdays, I will make more bone soup to make up for it. I will pay for the meal and meat. In addition, I will give my aunt another monthly. Fifty Wen wages."

When Aunt Wu heard this, it was terrible, so she could cook without delaying her work, and she could get fifty Wen a month, so she waved her hands again and again in surprise, "This can't be done, Brother Yuan, Mrs. Fifty Wen too much."

Qiao Yuan shook his head, "Not much, oil and salt also cost money. And I have to ask my aunt to take care of it. Every time I watch my grandma finish eating, I'm afraid she won't be willing to leave it all to..."

He didn't say the whole thing, but Aunt Wu understood that if it was her, her filial piety would end up taking advantage of other people's stomachs, and she would vomit, especially if it was a family like Xu Xiuhua's.She immediately said: "Brother Yuan, don't worry, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely handle it well for you, so that your grandma can eat well every meal."

When she gave birth to her eldest son in the early years, she had a difficult labor, and it was Qiao Wang who helped her. She always kept it in her heart, and took care of everything she could usually take care of.Besides, in the future, she can still come to the door every day to disgust Xu Xiuhua, why not do it?Anyway, Xu Xiuhua didn't dare to drive her out, she was here to show her filial piety for Brother Yuan, if Xu Xiuhua dared to stop her, don't want to be famous!

After finalizing the matter in this way, Qiao Yuan felt relieved, hoping that Qiao Wang could spend his old age in peace.

When the two came out of Wu's house, they passed an alley, and Qiao Yuan saw Ding Yanhe, the girl in the pink shirt from last time. She still looked at Yu Dameng with affectionate and timid eyes.

Qiao Yuan rubbed his chin and said to Yu Dameng, "My shoe is dirty."

Yu Dameng looked down, and hurriedly knelt down to brush the dirt off his shoes.

Qiao Yuan glanced at Ding Yanhe, she seemed to have just realized it, and ran away in a panic holding up her skirt.

I hope she can think about it, why hang on a tree, and this tree only belongs to him.

This is dinner in the old house again, and the family practices Huamo as usual after the meal.

After these few days of hard practice, both Yu Dameng and Yu Shanwu are able to make a good figure.

The coir raincoat that Lin Cuifen made for them was also ready. Qiao Yuan had only seen this in TV dramas before, so he clamored to try it on.Lin Cuifen helped him tie the belt, and also brought him a bamboo hat to wear, teasing him: "Come on, this will be satisfactory."

Qiao Yuan chuckled, thinking it was cool, if he had a sword on his waist, he would be a mysterious knight in the world.

Yu Shanwu asked: "What is a knight?"

Qiao Yuan leaned over to Lin Cuifen and said as if complaining: "Mother, let's let Xiao Wu go to the school to reform." He looked at Yu Shanwen and then said: "Shanwen also goes, or I will be sorry for his name."

Yu Shanwen hurriedly said: "I know what knight means!"

Yu Shanwu was shocked!

Lin Cuifen felt disturbed when she mentioned the matter of her two sons going to school, "The two of them went to school and wasted money! After studying for a year, they don't know as many characters as I do!"

Qiao Yuan thought for a while, and said seriously: "I think Xiaosi Xiaowu likes bows, crossbows and slingshots on weekdays, why don't you find a martial arts master to learn from them."

"If we want to worship the martial arts master, we must study hard!" The twin brothers happily agreed repeatedly.

Father Yu and Lin Cuifen were both a little moved, and Qiao Yuan continued: "They are still young, so it's not a big deal to always be wild at home like this. Why don't you learn the skills now, and what if you need them in the future?"

Yu Dameng said: "Brother Yuan is right, tomorrow I will inquire about Master Wu in the city."

As he spoke, he straightened Qiao Yuan's crooked coir raincoat, and Qiao Yuan smiled sweetly at him.

Father Yu and Lin Cuifen thought about it and agreed that it was a way out.

Of course, when Yu Shanwen and Yu Shanwu went to Master Wu and found that they needed to read and write, it was too late to regret it!
