Ai Tiancheng went to Huai'an City, and this time it was three days.

The Wang family went to the old Ai's compound every day to look for trouble.

Aunt Wang even pulled out all the stupid sons of his family and blocked the gate of Lao Ai's house.

The neighbors were all invited, and Aunt Wang sat on the steps and spat on the stars, insisting that Lao Ai's family owed them money from the Wang family.

Ai Mingshan is not good, but he is a face-saving person, and he will not argue with Aunt Wang at the gate, he asked the Ma family to invite Aunt Wang into the house, but the other party did not do it.

"I just want everyone to help evaluate the reasoning, and I want us to agree to this happiness when we are profitable, but now, I can't even see the shadow of money......"

When Ai Qiaoqiao's carriage passed through the village, all they heard was talking about the old Ai family.

"Your grandfather is not light." Zhang Wu said, "Your second uncle hasn't come back yet?" ”

"Nope." Ai Qiaoqiao shook his head, not only Ai Yonggui, but even Ai Tiancheng did not come back.

The old man was in a hurry at home, and the Ma family was also holding back the fire in her stomach these days, but she couldn't make sense at all in front of the Wang family, who told people to still hold Ai Yonggui's receipt in their hands.

So she can only be angry with her family.

The Qiu clan and the Fang clan were all scolded by her, and even Ai Xiaoling and Ai Daquan couldn't escape.

Ai Qiaoqiao's business in Niangniang Temple is getting smoother and smoother.

On the second day, she sold all the 100 meat buns, and the big bone broth was sold in two large pots, and on the third day, she added 50 more vegetable buns, and the big bone broth was sold in three pots.

Zhang Wu finally couldn't hold back anymore, and he was busy with sweat.

"Qiaoqiao, we have to add more people, otherwise it will be too late to collect the money." After closing the stall that day, they did the math and found that there were six big bucks missing.

Ai Qiaoqiao has a small ledger in her hand, and she will record every thing she sells, and after checking the accounts a few times, she confirmed that there is no money.

"Or ...... Let's ask Sister-in-law Runxue to help. Ai Qiaoqiao proposed.

The last time Runxue came to help make powder, she did a very beautiful job, and she was a diligent person, and her hands and feet were also nimble.

Zhang Wu told Wen Wenhua his thoughts.

Brother Wen was very happy, "I'll call her to help tomorrow." ”

"It's still calculated on a daily basis, and the salary of five cents a day is the same as that of Brother Wu." Even if the relationship is good, Ai Qiaoqiao has to settle the problem of money first, friendship is friendship, and wages are wages.

The next day, Runxue came to Ai Qiaoqiao's stall to help.

With her at the stall, Ai Qiaoqiao and Zhang Wu can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The three of them divided the work, Ai Qiaoqiao was mainly responsible for bookkeeping and collecting money, Zhang Wu was responsible for serving soup and burning fire, and Runxue was in charge of selling steamed buns.

On this day, the stall was closed, Ai Qiaoqiao carefully calculated, a total of more than 1,000 copper coins have been collected in the past few days, and a thousand big coins are a hanging, although half of the cost money has to be removed, but judging from the account books, their business is good.

More than 100 steamed buns alone can be sold in a day, plus bone broth.

Ai Qiaoqiao is not stingy, sometimes the soup is sold to the bottom of the pot, and there is no oil and water left for boiling, only clear soup is left, and she simply doesn't even accept money.

Therefore, her stall was quickly welcomed by everyone, and many bridge repairers no longer used their families to deliver food at noon, but ate steamed buns directly on her stall.

"It would be nice if we could keep selling like this." Zhang Wu looked expectant.

"Beautiful you." Ai Qiaoqiao said with a smile, "This business can only be done for a few months, and the filling of the buns has to be constantly changed, otherwise some people will get tired of eating, and do you think that only we are doing business, and soon others will also see that it is profitable." ”

Zhang Wu exclaimed: "What if they also sell steamed buns?" ”

"Then it depends on whose buns are better." Regarding the taste of steamed buns, Ai Qiaoqiao is still quite confident.

In the afternoon of that day, Ai Qiaoqiao and their stalls passed by the village, only to see a person on the path in front of them, stumbling and walking.

"It seems to be your eldest uncle Ai Tiancheng!" Zhang Wu shouted.

When the carriage came closer, Ai Qiaoqiao saw clearly that the person was really Ai Tiancheng.

After staying in Huai'an City for a few days, Ai Tiancheng had a scruffy beard and walked with a limp, looking embarrassed.

Ai Qiaoqiao stopped the carriage and stopped Ai Tiancheng, "Uncle, why did you come back, my father is dying in a hurry these days." ”

Ai Tiancheng looked up and saw Ai Qiaoqiao sitting in the carriage, and suddenly showed an uneasy expression, "Let your master wait in a hurry, in fact, I have wanted to come back for a long time, but I have not been able to find your second uncle, so I have been delayed for a few days." ”

"You didn't find the second uncle?" Ai Qiaoqiao was surprised, "Doesn't he have a house in the city?" ”

Ai Tiancheng shook his head, "I went to the house, but the door of the house was locked, and I didn't see him come back after guarding the door for two days." ”

"Won't you...... Have you ever gone to Deyue Tower to look for him? Ai Qiaoqiao asked.

"Deyue Tower has been sealed, I have gone to look for him, but I have not been able to find him."

It turned out that Deyue Tower was really closed.

Ai Qiaoqiao and Zhang Wu glanced at each other.

Ai Tiancheng was in a hurry to go back, but obviously he had walked too far and his feet were worn out, and he couldn't walk as fast as the carriage.

Ai Qiaoqiao asked him to get in the car.

Ai Tiancheng was very embarrassed, Zhang Wu and Sister-in-law Runxue were both in the car, so they asked him to come up and sit.

Ai Tiancheng looked at the village road, there was still some way from home, so he had to get into the carriage.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of the Ai family's compound.

Before Ai Tiancheng got out of the car, Qiu's voice sounded in the courtyard.

"Dad, our family Tiancheng is back."

Ai Qiaoqiao followed Ai Tiancheng and jumped out of the carriage and handed the carriage to Zhang Wu.

Zhang Wu will.

Ai Qiaoqiao wanted to inquire about the news, so he drove the carriage first.

Ai Tiancheng entered the city, and before he could drink saliva and wash his face, Ai Mingshan called him to the upper room.

"Where's the money?" Ma Shi asked.

Ai Tiancheng's face turned white, "I...... I didn't find my second brother. ”

"You're useless, you can't even find anyone." Ma Shi scolded, "Doesn't Yonggui have a house in the city, you have lived with Qiaohua, you haven't gone there to find it?" ”

"Go, I just went to the house as soon as I entered the city, but the door of the house was locked, so I waited at the door, but I didn't see the second brother come back for two days." Ai Tiancheng said, "Later, I went to Deyue Tower again, but I found that there was a seal there. ”

"Was it sealed by the government?" Ai Mingshan exclaimed.

"It's not like a government seal." Ai Tiancheng recalled, "I asked someone to inquire, and they all said that the previous owner of Deyuelou was not a serious owner, but only operated on behalf of others, and now he and the shopkeeper of Deyuelou are dead, and Deyuelou can't be managed by anyone for a while, so it is closed." ”

"How...... How can this be. Ma's eyes widened, "That'...... That's Deyue Tower, such a big business is closed? ”

"That's what the people in Huai'an City say, saying that the real owner of Deyue Tower is not short of silver, and he doesn't care about such a restaurant, so it's closed."

Ai Mingshan sat there dumbfounded, not saying a word.

"What about Yonggui, Deyue Tower is closed, where did he go?" Ma asked.

"I don't know." Ai Tiancheng lowered his head.

Ma Shi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly patted his thigh and cried, "My poor son, the good errand is gone, shouldn't he feel faceless and can't think about it......"

Ai Qiaoqiao stood quietly by the door, the corners of her mouth twitching.

Ai Yonggui can't think about it? The devil believes it!
