Zhang Wu ran to Ai Qiaoqiao's side every day.

Brother Wen followed Zhang Wu and his father to do the carpentry work of tables and chairs, Ai Qiaoqiao did not let them contribute in vain, she took care of their lunch every day, and she paid the wood money and the wages of the two people.

Brother Wen was embarrassed and wanted to refuse.

Zhang Wu said happily: "Brother Wen, you just take it, let's follow Qiaoqiao, you can't make a mistake." ”

Brother Wen had no choice but to smile and accept his salary.

During lunch, they sat together and discussed.

"Why do you want to sell steamed buns?" Zhang Wu asked.

"There are vegetables and rice, eat a few and you'll be full." Ai Qiaoqiao smiled, "It's more troublesome." ”

"Eat steamed buns every day...... It's always going to get boring, right? Zhang Wu said.

Zhang Wu's father slapped him on the head with chopsticks, "It's good to have buns to eat, you dare to pick." ”

Zhang Wu covered his head and smiled innocently, "I'm just saying, if you eat steamed buns for several months, there will always be people who are tired of it." ”

"I can change the filling." Ai Qiaoqiao explained, "They won't get tired of eating." ”

And she had another idea in mind, but she couldn't tell them.

Speaking of steamed buns, she remembered a recipe her father had taught her when he was alive: soup dumplings.

The secret of this kind of steamed bun is the skin jelly of the broth, and after the steamed bun with the skin jelly is wrapped, the filling is naturally filled with soup, the juice is fatty, the oil is overflowing, and the fragrance is incomparable.

But the made jelly is not easy to store, especially when it is hot, she can't make jelly every day.

But now that she has that secret cave, the finished jelly won't spoil for a long time as long as she keeps it inside.

God help me.

The more Ai Qiaoqiao thought about it, the happier she became, she was absolutely confident that she would make the buns unforgettable.

When Ye Liwu came back, she would use those shrimp to make a fresh shrimp soup dumpling, which Ye Liwu would definitely like.

In the past few days, she has stored the shrimp in the cave behind the secret door to keep them fresh.

Qiu's came a few times, and they all said that the family asked her to go to dinner, but Ai Qiaoqiao didn't hide it, and said that she wanted to use the red envelope reward money given by Yuwen to do some small business, and she couldn't get out of it.

Ma originally wanted to call her to his house and ask her to spit out the money, but when he heard that she was going to use the money to do business, he was so anxious that he sent Qiu out one trip after another, and almost broke Qiu's leg.

In the end, it was Mr. Ai who spoke.

"Give me a stop point, isn't it just two taels of silver money, that's Qiaoqiao from the son of Yu, you are still embarrassed to worry!"

Ma Shi glared, "That's two taels of silver, how much firewood, rice, oil and salt can be purchased!" ”

"That's for Qiaoqiao, not yours!"

"Qiaoqiao is my granddaughter, I am her grandmother, I want to spend her daring to honor me!"

Ai Mingshan angrily poked the ground with his cane, "You don't want to be ashamed, I still want to be embarrassed!" You dare to ask for this money! ”

Qiu saw the old couple arguing and sneaked out.

Ai Qiaoqiao didn't know that the old Ai's compound was noisy, she and Zhang Wu entered Huai'an City, bought dishes and chopsticks and other things, and they also had a steamer to steam buns, and they also had to prepare a stove for cooking soup and steaming buns on the stall.

Half of the two taels of silver were spent in a blink of an eye, and Ai Qiaoqiao used the rest of the money to go to Boss Feng's grocery store to buy flour and other things.

Zhang Wu went to the market to buy pork and some pork bones.

Boss Feng chatted with Ai Qiaoqiao by the way.

Ai Qiaoqiao learned that the diners in Huai'an City were no longer interested in the fish-flavored shredded pork recently, but the paste was still selling well.

"I heard that a sweet and sour pork rib recently launched by Deyue Lou is good, and this dish should also be thickened, so there are still many restaurants to ask for your slurry." Boss Feng introduced, "By the way, and last time in your village, the Wang family wanted to sell the slurry to me, and I heard that they later sold the slurry to Deyuelou." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow.

Aunt Wang begged to go to Ai Mingshan, and she was stirred up about it, but the business was still negotiated, and it seems that there must be Ai Yonggui's relationship here.

"I don't know that my second uncle received a few percent of the profits from their Wang family." Ai Qiaoqiao sneered.

It seems that Ai Yonggui is quite good at making money in his pocket, and he is not taboo to some extent.

"What's the difference between the Wang family's slurry and yours?" Boss Feng asked curiously.

"They've got mud and sand." Ai Qiaoqiao snickered, the Wang family only cares about making money, how can they be as careful as her, washing and washing the sweet potatoes, if they only want to be fast and don't even go to the skin, it will be even worse.

If a diner has a tooth, then Deyuelou will inevitably be in trouble, and if the diner's status is higher, this trouble will be even greater.

Ai Qiaoqiao chatted with Boss Feng for a while, and Zhang Wu bought pork and bones at the market and came back to pick her up.

Before she could get into the carriage, a strange man came outside, dressed as a guy from the medicine hall.

"Qiaoqiao girl, my son-in-law invites you to go to Deyue Tower to meet someone." Dude said.

Ai Qiaoqiao was slightly surprised.

"Your son-in-law is ......"

The man smiled and handed over a letter with both hands, "This is the one my son-in-law wants to give to the girl." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao took it.

There were only a few words on the letter, and she recognized all the words.

It was indeed Yeli Yan who invited her to Deyue Tower, and there was a seal on the back cover, and the seal was engraved with the word "night", which was exactly the same as the purple jade ring that Yeli gave her.

Ai Qiaoqiao looked at Zhang Wu in embarrassment.

The medicine hall guy said, "My son-in-law said, only invite the girl to you alone." ”

Zhang Wu said happily, "Since it is the divine doctor who invited you, then I will go back first, and by the way, I will help you send the things back to the old mansion." ”

After Ai Qiaoqiao said goodbye to Zhang Wu, he followed the guy to Deyue Tower.

As soon as he entered the Deyue Tower, Ai Qiaoqiao felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

The guys in the building all lowered their heads, and even the people who entertained guests on the first floor were also cautious, and they smiled at the diners, as if they were afraid of being picked on by the diners.

The guy didn't take Ai Qiaoqiao upstairs, the upstairs was full of private rooms, but took her directly to the first floor for a casual seat, a window position.

There were two people sitting by the window.

One person was dressed in a purple robe, covered with black gauze and half an arm, dressed in brocade, and the purple lotus was covered with a tassel on her waist.

It was the miracle doctor who died at night.

The person opposite, over seventy years old, wide and fat, with a strange red light on his face, is the master of Daifuku.

Ai Qiaoqiao was secretly frightened in her heart, but her face was silent, and she stepped forward to give a blessing.

Master Daifuku smiled and pointed to the position beside him, "Girl, sit." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao glanced around, and several stewards of Deyue Tower personally served on the side, "Two ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Master Daifuku knocked on the table, "Are you all blind, the three of us." ”

The steward's face turned white when he was choked, and he immediately changed his words, "Three distinguished guests, what do you want to eat?" ”

Master Daifuku didn't look at the menu cards, and just threw them aside, "If you have anything to do, just come up with a few." ”

The steward didn't dare to breathe, and said tentatively: "Recently, Deyuelou has pushed a new dish, sweet and sour pork ribs, do you want to try it?" ”

Ye Li's face was expressionless, and his eyes kept falling on Ai Qiaoqiao's face, as if that was his dish.

Ai Qiaoqiao was a little uncomfortable stared at by him, but she couldn't show her timidity sitting here, so she had to hold on.

Soon, several dishes were served.

Master Dafu picked up the chopsticks and beckoned Ye Liyan and Ai Qiaoqiao, "Come on, you can taste it too." ”

Ye Liyan didn't even touch his chopsticks, and drank his tea slowly.

Ai Qiaoqiao took the chopsticks, followed the example of Master Daifuku, and ate some dishes.

"Whew!" Master Daifuku vomited the dish as soon as he took a bite.

Ai Qiaoqiao's heart instantly brightened: it turned out that this old man was here to smash the Yuelou brand!
