Wen Wenhua told Ai Qiaoqiao about the idea of building a new house the next day.

When it comes to the issue of material preparation, Wen Wenhua can't save face.

"I can go up the mountain to find the wood myself, but I can only buy the stone, I think if it really can't work, I'll build a wooden house first."

"Brother Wen." Ai Qiaoqiao interrupted him, "Just say it." How much does it cost to buy stone? ”

Wen Wenhua's face turned red, "As long as the stone money is fine, I can do other work, Zhang Wu and his father and Ai Tiancheng both said that they would come to help, I will make an IOU with you then, how much you can say, as long as I can give me some grace, I will definitely be able to pay it back." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao sighed: "Brother Wen, what did Brother Wu tell you when he left?" ”

"Huh?" Wen Wenhua looked dazed, "He, he said that he wanted me to take care of you, and I would treat you as my sister-in-law."

"How can a sister-in-law lend money to her brother and repay the interest."

Wen Wenhua froze there, speechless.

Ai Qiaoqiao was dumbfounded when she saw Wen Wenhua. Giggled, "No wonder my sister-in-law Runxue is always bullied, it's no wonder that you're so honest, don't be bullied." ”

This was originally a joke, but Wen Wenhua showed a ashamed expression when he heard it.

"Never, never."

Seeing him so serious, Ai Qiaoqiao was a little embarrassed.

The two discussed building a house, but Ai Qiaoqiao always felt that it was inappropriate, and finally found Zhang Wu's father.

"I think it's better to hire a special craftsman to build a house." Ai Qiaoqiao proposed.

Uncle Zhang nodded, "Having said that, it costs a lot of money to hire someone." ”

"But if you hire someone, the house can be built quickly, and it won't take a month to build it." Ai Qiaoqiao said, "I also want to expand the shop in the city and buy a shop next to it." ”

"You still want to expand the shop?" Wen Wenhua and Uncle Zhang were surprised, "Is your original grocery store not enough?" ”

"I want to open another dim sum shop where people can rest. In the summer, you can sell freezing food, and when the weather is cool, you can switch to hot food. ”

Wen Wenhua was confused, but Uncle Zhang was more knowledgeable. "You mean like a teahouse?"

Ai Qiaoqiao nodded, "The kind of place in the teahouse is too elegant, and only rich people can go to rest and drink tea." Ordinary people don't have the money to go there to sit, but the shop I opened is so that ordinary people can afford to eat, and when it's hot in summer, come in and sit for a while, eat a bowl of cold snowflake cheese, and the heat will be reduced. ”

Wen Wenhua was surprised, "Where did you come up with these ideas?" ”

Ai Qiaoqiao smiled.

"My dad taught me that my tavern used to sell this kind of snowflake cheese in the summer, but I used to be just a helper, but this time I had to work alone."

Uncle Zhang and Wen Wenhua sighed, and the three of them were talking, when they suddenly heard a woman's drink from the backyard. Then it looked like someone had fallen off the courtyard wall.

Ai Qiaoqiao was startled, stood up and wanted to run to the back of the room.

Uncle Zhang grabbed her shoulder, "Don't move." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao looked at Uncle Zhang puzzled.

Wen Wenhua also stood up.

At this time, there was a sound of sharp weapons hitting behind the room, and the crisp metal trills shook everyone's eardrums.

Uncle Zhang pulled out the waist knife used by hunters from his lower back.

"Qiaoqiao, you stand back."

Wen Wenhua pulled her behind her, and the three of them stared at the house vigilantly.

"Listen to the wind and rain, and my mother is in the house." Ai Qiaoqiao said in a low voice.

"Shhh

At this moment, two figures jumped up from behind the house and landed on the red tile roof of the old house.

Both of them are dressed as Jianghu people: they are both dressed in short clothes and holding long swords.

Ai Qiaoqiao looked up and saw one of them, and was shocked: "Sister Ye Bing? ”

Her exclamation was loud, but the two on the roof heard it.

Ye Bing raised her hand to hold the black leather mask on her face, and said to the enemy opposite her, "Can you change places?" ”

The man on the other side turned his head and glanced down, looking at Ai Qiaoqiao and Uncle Zhang.

Ai Qiaoqiao saw the other party's face clearly.

The strange woman was younger than Ye Bing, and her face was still a little childish.

"They're your family?" The strange woman asked.

"It's not."

"I don't believe it, if it weren't for your family, you would protect them?"

"Be entrusted to do faithful work."

"Oh? I really can't see it, it's a pity that you are so kind-hearted and pity your face, even if you find any excuse, you are not worthy of Jiang Gongzi. With that, she stabbed a sword at Ye Bing.

Ye Bing's eyebrows moved slightly. The sword in his hand blocked the opponent's sword: "You were sent by Jiang Siyin?" ”

"He can't bear to do such a thing, he has given me a favor, and I can't see him ruined in your hands like this!" The strange woman snorted. Draw your sword and attack again.

Ye Bing had no choice but to jump backwards and jump off the old mansion. Several times jumped outside the courtyard wall.

The strange woman snorted coldly and followed with a sword.

Ai Qiaoqiao was in a hurry, she also heard what the other party said just now.

Unexpectedly, there were people in the rivers and lakes who came to find Ye Bing's trouble for Jiang Siyin, so they had to tell the shopkeeper Xu quickly.

Ai Qiaoqiao and the others stood in the courtyard and waited for a while, but they didn't see Ye Bing and the others come back, so they quickly ran into the house and came to listen to the wind and rain.

As soon as the two heard that Ye Bing was in trouble, they immediately picked up the carriage and went to Yicaotang to report the news.

Uncle Zhang and Wen Wenhua didn't leave, they stayed here in the old mansion until it was getting late, and the first thing they were waiting for was not to go to Yicaotang to listen to the wind and rain, but to return Ye Bing.

"Sister Ye Bing, are you okay?" Ai Qiaoqiao hurriedly caught up and carefully looked at the other party for injuries.

"I'm fine." Ye Bing smiled.

Ai Qiaoqiao looked behind Ye Bing.

"By the way, how is that person?" Ai Qiaoqiao stumbled, "Sister Ye Bing, did you kill her?" ”

In her opinion, the fighting, killing and killing of the rivers and lakes is a very terrifying thing, and it is completely unreasonable, and even the government has no way to manage it.

"Nope. I brought her back, do you have something to eat here? Ye Bing touched his stomach, "We're not done yet." I'll pick up when I'm done. ”

Ai Qiaoqiao almost bit her tongue, and there is such a thing, fight after eating?

Ye Bing's voice just fell. The strange woman who had greeted her during the day jumped onto the courtyard wall and tilted her head to greet her.

"Excuse me, little girl."

Ai Qiaoqiao had to bite the bullet and get something to eat for Ye Bing and the strange woman.

Wen Wenhua was not worried about Runxue at home, so Uncle Zhang asked him to go back first, and he stayed.

To make it quick, Ai Qiaoqiao cooked some of the noodles she had dried earlier, and made a sauce with chopped green onions, shrimp skin, soy sauce, salt, old vinegar, and chili oil.

Pour the boiled noodles and soup into the sauce and mix well, and finally add two of her homemade braised eggs.

When two large bowls of hot and sour noodle soup were served, the woman who had fought with Ye Bing couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"It looks delicious!"

Ai Qiaoqiao handed over the chopsticks and cautiously tentatively said, "What's your name?" ”

I thought that the other party would not speak, but after drinking a large sip of sour and spicy noodle soup, the man replied happily: "I don't have a name, you can call me Lin." ”
