Dressed as a blacksmith

Qiao Yuan's hot pot trial was very successful and received unanimous praise from the Yu family.

"This taste is enough, and it makes people feel warm."

"The clear soup is fresh and the soup is delicious."

Qiao Yuan nodded, and solemnly announced, "So, next, I plan to open a hot pot shop."

Father Yu hesitated for a moment, "It's good to eat in winter, isn't it too hot in summer?"

"In summer, we sell barbecue and cold pot skewers."

Barbecue is easy to understand, but Father Yu doesn't know what cold pot skewers are, but since Qiao Yuan has his own plans, he doesn't say anything more.His son-in-law has always been a good hand in business, and it is absolutely impossible for him to lose money.

Everyone in Yu's family supported it, and they talked and laughed and commented on various dishes. Only Qiao Wang's heart was raised and then dropped, and he was shocked repeatedly.

"Business is busy, so I discussed it with my mother, and recently moved to the house I rented in the county." Qiao Yuan scooped up some meatballs for Qiao Wang, and said with anticipation in his eyes: "Grandma, you Come with me too, stay for a while, and I will show you around the county."

Qiao Wang subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she hesitated seeing Qiao Yuan's bright eyes.

Brother Liu got down from his seat, ran up to Qiao Wang, and fell on her lap, giving him a divine assist, "Grandma Qiao, you go."

It has been a long time since she was needed by someone like this, Qiao Wang's eyes were slightly hot, and she nodded with tears in her eyes.

Seeing that she agreed, the members of the Yu family were very happy, and Qiao Yuan even secretly praised Brother Liu.

She is indeed the sweetheart of his family!

That night, Qiao Yuan packed up his things, the bedding and living utensils had already been prepared there, so he only needed to bring some change of clothes over there.

Yu Dameng came in from the outside after washing, and saw that the little husband was running between the cabinet and the bed, looking very homely, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Qiao Yuan saw it, and said angrily: "What are you silly? Why don't you come over and help!"

Yu Dameng scratched his head, the smile on his face became even wider, and he walked to the box, but he didn't intend to take the clothes that Qiao Yuan took out from the box, but looked at him directly.

Qiao Yuan's face was a little hot when he saw him, "What are you doing?"

Yu Dameng moved closer and lowered his head to kiss the little husband's lips.

The Yu family has a large population, and one ox cart is not enough for the family.Yu Dameng got up early to discuss with Wang Chefu in the next village that Shiwuwen hired him for this trip.

If you only talk about the head and luggage, it only costs ten yuan, but this must allow the driver to drop by on the road to pick up the talent.Not only is it crowded, but if you meet an acquaintance, you have to talk a lot, making people uncomfortable. Now that the family has money, there is no need to save so much. The fifteen-cent package is just right for him.

On the contrary, Father Yu felt quite inconvenient, and thought to himself that when the stove was sold, he would buy an ox cart, and it would be convenient for him to send Shan Wen Shan Wu to school.

The small courtyard that Qiao Yuan rented was really quiet, especially in the morning. Apart from seeing the rising smoke and hearing the creaking of several doors, there was no other noise.

Aunt You next door was beating an egg in her hand, she poked her head out and said, "Are you here again?"

She is warm-hearted, and it was the first time the Yu family came to live here, and she specially sent rice cakes.The Yu family returned the gift, and they became familiar with each other after going back and forth.

Qiao Yuan nodded, with a smile on his face: "The shop is busy, let's stay for a while."

Aunt You, everyone in the Yu family, has known each other for a long time. Qiao Yuan specially helped Qiao Wang take a few steps forward, and introduced to Aunt You, "Mother, this is my grandma."

Aunt You laughed, fearing that Qiao Wang's ears would be deaf, she deliberately raised her voice, "Auntie, you are blessed, grandson is filial!"

After hearing this, Qiao Wangshi had a smile on her face, but her heart was sore, she just stroked Qiao Yuan's hand over and over again and murmured: "Yes, yes."

The members of the Yu family worked together and settled down quickly.

Yu Dameng and Father Yu went back to the iron shop, and Qiao Yuan also went to Yuqiaoji to visit and go to the dental shop to rent a shop. There were many things, but he was a little worried about Qiao Wang's.

Seeing this, Lin Cuifen said, "I'll take her to buy groceries later, go around and get acquainted with the neighbors, so people won't think too much about it."

Qiao Yuan was moved, "Mother, thank you."

"Thank you, family?" Lin Cuifen brushed the dust off Qiao Yuan's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, when your grandma comes to our house, I will treat her as my own family and treat her well."

Mother is so kind, Qiao Yuan couldn't help but give Lin Cuifen a hug.

Lin Cuifen patted him on the back and said with a smile: "Okay, if you don't let go, my silly son will be impatient with me!"

Although Qiao Yuan usually has a thick skin, he couldn't help but blush when being teased so bluntly by the elders, Qiao Yuan lowered his head and ran to Yu Dameng quickly.

Yu Dameng smirked and took his hand, and the two went out.

The positioning of the hot pot restaurant is still in the cheap range. Qiao Yuan didn't plan to set up private rooms, so he found a big shop with a good location and only one floor.

The price of this flat floor is much cheaper than the two-story small building with a yard in Yuqiaoji, and Qiao Yuan bought it for 80 taels.

The original owner opened the restaurant, and the workmanship was not good, so he was eager to sell it if he couldn't keep it open, which saved Qiao Yuan's work on decoration, and all the utensils, tables and chairs in the shop were usable, and Qiao Yuan spent money to buy them.

It's just that the most important copper furnace still needs to find a coppersmith.

Qiao Yuan took the drawings drawn in advance, asked four coppersmiths to make it together, and asked them to complete the work as soon as possible with extra money.

After all this tossing and going back to Yu Qiao Ji, Qiao Yuan couldn't even lift his legs.

Chu Li came up to meet him, and asked blah, "A Yuan, why didn't you come to the shop yesterday?"

"Ah Yi came last time just as you had just returned, and yesterday came again, you are still not here, did something happen at home?"

Qiao Yuan guessed that Pei Yi probably wanted to come to thank him for delivering the recipes that day, so he smiled and said, "Then please bring a message and invite him over tomorrow."

Chu Li nodded, and ordered the waiter to bring tea to Qiao Yuan.

Qiao Yuan asked carefully about the store's affairs in the two days in the morning, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, he felt at ease, sat in the store for a while, and went home uneasy.

The alley at this moment is not as quiet as it was in the morning, Brother Liu is playing games with a few little dolls in the alley.

Just as Qiao Yuan walked into the alley, Brother Liu ran over with his calves thumping. Qiao Yuan picked him up and saw that no one was with him, so he asked, "Where are your fourth and fifth brothers?"

"They went to watch people fight!" Brother Liu said angrily, and agreed to come out to play together, but the two brothers left him.

Qiao Yuan stretched out his hand and scratched his nose, "Then why don't you go home? What if you meet a kidnapper?"

Brother Liu stuck out his tongue, put his arms around Qiao Yuan's neck and acted like a baby with him, Qiao Yuan smiled and carried him home.

Lin Cuifen was picking up fish in the kitchen, and when she saw him come back, she said, "Your grandma has fallen asleep."

"I took her out for a walk, she's tired now, I'll let her take a nap." Lin Cuifen happily emphasized to Qiao Yuan, "I saw her fall asleep when she laid her head down!"

Qiao Yuan felt pretty good, and he didn't feel sad when he released his energy. Seeing Lin Cuifen frying fish, he felt a little strange, "Mom, do you want to eat fish today?"

Although Yu Shanwen and Yu Shanwu are big, they are still children in their teens, and they eat quickly and quickly. Lin Cuifen is afraid that they will get stuck, so she doesn't cook fish every day.

Lin Cuifen turned the noodles over and replied, "I will make fish soup for your grandma. When you get older, the fish is easy to digest."

According to Yu Dameng, his grandfather was still a landlord when he married his grandmother, and his grandmother was a landlord lady.By the time Father Yu talked about their marriage, the Yu family was already in debt, so they could only talk about Lin Cuifen, who was from a poor family background.

Because of this, Grandma Yu looked down on Lin Cuifen very much, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not very harmonious.After Grandma Yu died, Lin Cuifen's daughter-in-law, who had been considered for many years, finally became a mother-in-law.

Although Qiao Wang is not a domineering and difficult person to get along with, but in terms of seniority, Lin Cuifen has been overwhelmed, and she has saved Lin Cuifen's life. In a sense, what is the difference between serving a mother-in-law?

Qiao Yuan felt sorry for Lin Cuifen, and immediately decided to invite a servant girl for Qiao Wang.

Lin Cuifen felt it was unnecessary, "What do you do, please? I take care of it on a daily basis."

Qiao Yuan washed his hands, stepped forward and snatched the spatula from Lin Cuifen's hand, and said, "Mom, I'm in the village, I have to go to the shop during the day, and I don't have time to take care of grandma. No one is watching her, so I don't worry."

Lin Cuifen thought so too, she could go to Qiao Yuan's side to take care of Qiao Wang's from time to time in the village, but the people in the village have a long tongue, and after a long time, it is inevitable that they have gossip to say, which is not good for Qiao Yuan.

"Then please An Ge'er's mother? She is kind-hearted, she is honest, and it happens to let her earn more money." Lin Cuifen suggested.

Qiao Yuan thought about it for a while and thought it was wrong, then An Ge'er's mother was also a hard-working person, if she and Qiao Wang's really got together, wouldn't they be sad together every day.

When Lin Cuifen heard Qiao Yuan's words, she suddenly felt that it made sense. The two of them were in the same illness and sympathized with each other. Qiao Wang might think of the past just by looking at her.She quickly rejected the proposal, but she couldn't think of a suitable one from the people she knew in the village and nearby.

Qiao Yuan said, "I'm looking for one in the county."

He thought about it for a while and thought it was a bit funny, "I'll find someone who can speak well, do things quickly and is familiar with the county, and ask her to take you to the theater to listen to the play, go to the street to buy some clothes and jewelry, go to the temple to worship the Buddha, and go around. .”

Lin Cuifen smiled, "Then I won't be the old lady of the landlord's house? I don't have to do anything all day except eating, drinking and having fun!"

"Mother." Qiao Yuan said earnestly next to her: "Brother is studying, and his fame is expected. Da Meng and I can still earn so much money every day, and Shan Wen Shan Wu will go to school next year. Xiao Liuer is obedient and doesn't make trouble. You don't have to Trapped around us and in the kitchen all day, if you like, of course you can wander around and have some fun.”

Lin Cuifen's eyes brightened, "I... I have seen a puppet show before, it was very interesting."

Qiao Yuan rubbed his chin, "I heard from shopkeeper Zhu of Yuhuchun that Qingyinyuan is the best puppet show in the county." He smiled and said, "I'll send you and grandma there before going to the shop tomorrow." inside."

Lin Cuifen was a little moved by what he said, "Okay! Then... that mother will be in your glory!"
