Ai Qiaoqiao snuggled up to Ai Mingshan's side obediently, raised her little face, and looked at each other adoringly.

"Master, you taught this dish to my father, you are so good."

Ai Mingshan's face changed, and as soon as he raised his head, he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Ai Qiaoqiao picked up the wine jug and filled his wine glass again.

"Master, did you also work as a chef in a restaurant before, I heard my father say that the dishes you make are delicious."

Ai Qiaoqiao chattered in Ai Mingshan's ear, two glasses of good wine went down, and gradually Ai Mingshan's eyes appeared sad.

"Qiaoqiao, your father is better than me." The old man sighed.

"How come, grandpa, you are the best."

Ai Mingshan shook his head, "You don't have to coax me, I know in my heart that when it comes to cooking, your father is the most powerful in our family, and this siu mai you brought ...... I didn't teach him, he was a genius, I looked away and bet on your second uncle......"

"I also blame your father, he doesn't fight for it, and he doesn't reveal his true self in front of me, but also for a woman...... Eloped with her......"

Ai Mingshan shook his head repeatedly, "He disappointed me too much...... It's just a woman, and he gave up everything......"

Ai Qiaoqiao pursed her lips and listened quietly.

She knew that the wine in the night was very strong, and the old man Ai was a little older, and he couldn't compete with the wine, so after a few glasses, what she didn't want to say before was just said.

"Sir, which restaurant did you work in at the beginning?" Ai Qiaoqiao asked.

Ai Mingshan stuffed a siu mai into his mouth, smiled, and looked quite proud, "Juxianju, that's a big place, and many nobles will go there to order my dishes." ”

"And then?" Ai Qiaoqiao asked at the right time.

"Later, I became the chef there, and even the shopkeeper of Juxian Ju had to respect me." Recalling the previous days, Ai Mingshan's eyes flashed with a glimmer, "I was thinking at that time that I wanted to bring your father and your second uncle together, and when I got the freshest gold-lettered signboard in the world, I would open a restaurant by myself, and then I would be the shopkeeper ......"

The freshest in the world?

Ai Qiaoqiao vaguely felt a little familiar, but she couldn't remember what it was for a while.

It seems that her father had talked about it, but she was young at the time and didn't have much of an impression.

"Master, did you finally open your own restaurant?" Ai Qiaoqiao asked.

Ai Mingshan's eyes suddenly dimmed, he drank all the last wine, and said vaguely: "There are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, and I am not as good as others after all...... Old, old......"

Ai Qiaoqiao wanted to ask, but Ai Mingshan pushed the kang table and sat there as if he was about to sleep.

Ai Qiaoqiao had no choice but to put away the food box, dragged a quilt and put it on Ai Mingshan, and then quietly got off the kang.

Ma Shi was in Ai Qiaohua's house, and the two of them didn't know what to say, and they could be seen vaguely through the window.

Seeing this, Ai Qiaoqiao was not ready to greet Ma again, and wanted to leave directly.

At this moment, Qiu Shi opened the door and came out, beckoning secretly to Ai Qiaoqiao, looking at the mysterious god like that.

Ai Qiaoqiao leaned over with an empty food box, "Auntie, are you okay?" ”

Qiu Shi stretched his neck to look at Ai Qiaohua's window, and lowered his voice, "Qiaoqiao, you tell the truth to your aunt, do you still have a recipe for spices in your hand?" ”

Ai Qiaoqiao instantly raised her vigilance, "Didn't I already sell the seasoning recipe to the shopkeeper Luo who was full of guests." ”

Qiu sighed twice, "Don't take me for a fool, your father has a treasure in his hand, and you can leak a little bit of it casually, it's enough for us to work hard in the field for more than half a year." ”

"Who said my dad had a baby in his hand!" Hearing this, Ai Qiaoqiao stopped doing it, "You can't talk nonsense, if you don't believe it, you go and ask my father, my father relies on his own ability." ”

Qiu Shi hurriedly covered Ai Qiaoqiao's mouth, "Oh, my little ancestor, your temper is really big enough, I just said that, what are you anxious about, if you want to sell seasoning recipes in the future, can you give us a branch first?" ”

Ai Qiaoqiao looked at Qiu's family, "What do you want to do?" ”

"You forget, your brother Daquan is still in the city, although he is just a kitchen chores, but as long as there is a chance, he can be looked down on, your second uncle is ruthless, he said that he will help our family, but I haven't seen him move for so many years, if you have a seasoning recipe to sell, it's better for the two of us to work together, your brother Daquan will help you contact the restaurant, and then we will share the money, what do you think?"

Ai Qiaoqiao sneered in her heart.

They all treat her as a three-year-old child, and she can't sell the seasoning recipes, so why should she have to share the money she earns for nothing.

And I have to bear the love of others, I feel that she is young and easy to bully, right?

But fortunately, Ai Tiancheng is a good person, this uncle is a very practical person, so Ai Qiaoqiao saved some face for the Qiu family, didn't say anything in person, and left the Ai family compound with a few vague words.

On the way back, Ai Qiaoqiao dispelled the plan to make slurry and sell it to the full house, and it was better to make a fortune quietly than to make a fuss.

Thinking of this, she didn't go back to the old mansion directly, but went to Zhang Wu and told him what she thought.

"Making a slurry?" Zhang Wu didn't know anything about this kind of thing, "Can it be sold?" ”

"Ordinary people may not be able to use it, and the demand for restaurants will be very large." Ai Qiaoqiao said, "In the past, our family opened a tavern, and many dishes had to use batter to thicken the paste, and if the quality of the batter was not good, it would affect the color and taste of the dishes. ”

Zhang Wu nodded, "Since you said okay, then let's do it." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao negotiated with Zhang Wu and asked him to go into the city tomorrow to find Feng Yirun, the owner of the grocery store, and buy some sweet potatoes from her.

"When we make the finished product, we will sell it directly in her store." Ai Qiaoqiao calculated, "Pack some small portions first, and let Boss Feng Yirun give them away for free." ”

"Give it away for free...... Isn't that a loss? Zhang Wu was surprised.

"My father said that this is called a propaganda method, first let people use it well, they will naturally come to find our goods, if others ask, you will say that it is the slurry made by Feng Yirun's boss entrusted to us, don't mention that the recipe is mine."

"Don't worry, I won't say it." Zhang Wudao.

Zhang Wu's father saw that Ai Qiaoqiao was coming, and insisted that Zhang Wu cut a piece of wild boar meat and bring it back to her.

Ai Qiaoqiao didn't want to accept it, but Zhang Orion had a tough attitude, saying that this was also a thank you gift from him to the night god doctor.

Ai Qiaoqiao couldn't resist the other party, so he could only accept it.

"Our five acres of land, I think let's plant some autumn vegetables." Zhang Orion said that in previous years, they did not lack meat in winter, but they did not have vegetables.

They don't have their own land, and if they want vegetables, they can only go to other people's homes to exchange meat.

"Leave the affairs of the field to me." Zhang Orion patted his chest and took down the big bag with pleasure.

"Uncle Zhang still has injuries on his body......" Ai Qiaoqiao was a little uneasy.

"There are only ten acres of land in total, I invited a few familiar hunters, and it was planted in a few days, and I had a lifelong friendship with those hunters, so I just invited them to eat at that time."

Ai Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up, "Then I'll leave the cooking to me." ”

What worries her the most is that she can't find anyone to help.

After discussing these things, Ai Qiaoqiao was shocked to find that it was already dark outside.

"I'll send you back." Zhang Wu was duty-bound, lit a torch, and pulled Ai Qiaoqiao out of the cave with one hand.

The two of them walked to the root of the mountain with one foot deep and one foot shallow, in order to take a shortcut, Zhang Wu jumped directly on a dirt slope, turned around and stretched out his hand to Ai Qiaoqiao.

Ai Qiaoqiao stretched out her hand to borrow force, and Zhang Wu pulled her up at once, but because of the excessive force, Ai Qiaoqiao hit him all of a sudden, and almost knocked Zhang Wu down.

Ai Qiaoqiao giggled, "Brother Wu, if we fall, the two of us will become mud monkeys." ”

Zhang Wu was simple, "You look good even if you become a mud monkey." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao didn't expect him to say such a sentence, and he was a little embarrassed.

Turning his head, he caught a glimpse of a glimmer of light not far away.

Standing in purple clothes facing the wind, holding a lantern in his left hand, the corners of his robe rolled up by the wind were like startled birds, and the sound of Lara ......
