Jin Gongzi was talking to Ye Liyan, and suddenly saw Ye Liyan turn sideways, hold the hand of the little girl on the side, bow his head and say something.

Jin Gongzi coughed dryly twice.

"Nightboy?"

Ye Liyan didn't pay attention to him, and was still bowing his head and talking to Ai Qiaoqiao.

Judging from where Jin Gongzi was sitting, the little girl's eyes were red. It's like crying.

"Night Child!" He couldn't help but raise his voice.

Ye Liyan turned his head, his face was obviously displeased, "I'll take Qiaoqiao to rest first, and we'll discuss this matter later." ”

After saying that, he pulled the little girl out of the house.

Inside the house, Jin Gongzi looked at the shopkeeper Xu, as well as Ye Bing, and said helplessly: "Your owner's temperament is really weird, this is going to be on fire, and he still has the heart to coax the children." ”

Shopkeeper Xu drooped his eyelids. Didn't say anything.

Ye Bing said lightly: "If Miss Qiaoqiao doesn't coax well, I'm afraid that she will be on fire now." ”

Jin Gongzi was choked and couldn't answer.

Ye Liqi took Ai Qiaoqiao out.

When she got outside, Ai Qiaoqiao realized that she had lost her temper just now.

"Brother Night, you'd better go back quickly." Ai Qiaoqiao said nervously. "Jin Gongzi and Shopkeeper Xu, they are still waiting for you to make an idea."

Ye Liyan reached out and touched her face, her white and tender little face was cold, and she couldn't touch a trace of warmth.

He simply stretched out his hands and held her face in his palms.

"Don't be afraid, I'll arrange it, and it'll be fine." Ye Liyan muttered, "When I go to the Medicine King Valley, you can stay in the city, and bring your mother to the city, and I will let the shopkeeper Xu arrange someone to take care of you." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao shook her head, "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me and my mother, it just so happens that the new store over there is about to open, and I may not be busy, so I don't have time to think about you at all." ”

Nightshade chuckled.

What a stupid girl, this lie is meant to reassure him. But it's too fake.

Still, he preferred to pretend that he had been deceived by her.

On the second day of the night, he left Huai'an City, taking Ye Bing and a dozen men in Yicao Hall with him.

Jin Gongzi also followed. Shopkeeper Xu stayed in Yicaotang to preside over the overall situation.

"Will there be too few people brought by Big Brother Night?" Ai Qiaoqiao said worriedly.

"Don't worry, with Ye Er's shopkeeper here, manpower is not a problem." Shopkeeper Xu is obviously not worried about this kind of thing.

People in the rivers and lakes have always been uncertain. But they have their unique contact methods, even if they have been working incognito in Yicaotang for so many years, the connection with the rivers and lakes has never been broken.

Ai Qiaoqiao also knew that she couldn't help with this kind of thing, so instead of staying here in Yicaotang and waiting day by day, it was better to do something serious.

So she also moved out of Yicaotang that day and went to Qiaoniang's grocery store.

Her new shop was also opened, connected to the grocery store, and she had people break through the partition in the middle, leaving a small door so that they could go directly to the store on the other side without having to sell the grocery door.

From the outside, the new store looks like an ordinary teahouse, small but clean, and different from what is sold in other teahouses.

The usual tea is not served here.

There is a lot of rain in the spring. The spring rain is continuous on the street, and the morning breeze is refreshing.

After waking up early and going out to the market on an empty stomach, I felt a chill on my body. Come in and drink a bowl of lotus root almond tea.

The sweet and glutinous taste is accompanied by the mellow and crispy almonds and crushed peanuts, and the raisins are sweet but not greasy. It's evocative.

If you feel empty after drinking lotus root almond tea, you can also order a small plate of lotus root powder white sugar cake.

If there are diners who feel that these things have no oil and water, the store also sells a kind of meatballs: lotus root flour balls.

Lotus root flour and dough formed after the dough. Stuffed with sesame seeds or chopped peanuts, cooked in a pot and then cooked with lard, then add sugar to the pot.

Such lotus root flour balls are more smooth to eat.

It's just that these few things are only served until noon. At noon, the shop switched to selling steamed lotus root noodles.

Mixed with semi-fat pork and lotus root flour, steamed in a pot and sprinkled with chopped green onions.

It is tender and delicious, and is most loved by the elderly and children with bad teeth.

Ai Qiaoqiao was busy until it was dark before she had time to sit down and rest, and she was tired and had a sore back.

Although Xiaoling helped Zhu Yichun, this day is over. Ai Qiaoqiao is still busy.

Han Shen quickly calculated the tent for the day and handed the account book to Ai Qiaoqiao.

Ai Qiaoqiao stared at the account book for a long time, unable to believe her eyes.

Remove their costs. expenses, at the end of the day, she can earn almost five taels of silver.

Blinked. She still felt like she was dreaming.

Compared with her excitement, Han Shen was much calmer.

"Because our cost is very low, and those lotus root noodles are all homemade by you in Xiaofang Village. Most of our money is spent on seasoning and labor, and when the weather gets hotter, your cold drinks will sell well. And other restaurants will also come to order, and then you will earn more than that."

Ai Qiaoqiao propped her elbows on the table and held her chin. The heart is beautiful.

If only business had been going so well, maybe she'd be able to open a bigger store by this time next year. Open a restaurant.

"Han Shen, if I open a restaurant in the future, you might as well be my shopkeeper." Ai Qiaoqiao joked for a long time.

"Okay." Han Shen said seriously, "Even if you don't need me, I will refuse to leave." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao laughed.

Xiaoling on the side also came over, "Sister Qiaoqiao, when my mother and I have saved enough money, we will also buy a yard." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao half-jokingly said, "What, you think my yard is too crowded now?" ”

Now her backyard is indeed a little cramped.

Xie Feng and Han Shen both lived here, and the Fang family lived with Xiao Ling. and her cousin Zhu Yichun, and now she has added Ai Qiaoqiao and Lan.

It's a big family.

Han Shen glanced at Qiaoqiao.

"I don't think it's in a hurry to buy a yard first, if Miss Qiaoqiao changes places in the future, maybe the place where you live will be far away, it's better to rent a yard to live in first, and then Miss Qiaoqiao will buy another store in the future, and then you decide to buy a yard then."

Xiao Ling blinked and listened carefully. "Well, what Brother Han Shen said is reasonable, I'll go and talk to my mother."

After saying that, she lost her broom and ran to find Fang's family.

Ai Qiaoqiao and Han Shen cleaned the store, closed the door again, closed the windows of the store, and then went back to the grocery store.

After a busy day, she thought that she would soon be tired and sleep after lying down.

But lying on the bed, she stared at the beams of the room, and she was completely sleepy.

I don't know what happened to them at night, whether they arrived in the Valley of the Medicine King

The more Ai Qiaoqiao thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and her heart seemed to be pinched together.
