Ai Qiaoqiao cooked the dishes and helped bring them into the upper room.

Everyone sat around, and Ai Qiaoqiao suddenly came in like a subordinate.

"Put the food here." Ai Yonggui commanded, like the head of the family.

Ai Qiaoqiao glanced at Ai Yonggui, and he was referring to Yu Wenling.

With the food, she put it in Ai Mingshan.

Ai Yonggui was stunned, and Yu Wenling smiled, "Qiaoqiao girl did the right thing, how can the son-in-law overstep." ”

Hearing this, Ai Mingshan was happy, and looked at Ai Qiaoqiao's eyes with kindness, "Qiaoqiao came here to sit." ”

"No, master, you eat, I have to go back." Ai Qiaoqiao untied the apron.

Yu Wenling stood up and arched her hand to Ai Qiaoqiao, "Miss Qiaoqiao, thank you for introducing me to the miracle doctor last time, this is your happy money, and I hope you don't dislike it." ”

As he spoke, he took out a red envelope from his bosom.

Ma's eyes were straight at that time, and Qiu's even smacked his mouth.

The red seal was heavy, and it was by no means a copper coin.

Ai Qiaoqiao was also stunned when he received it.

The feeling of touching it from the outside is definitely silver inside, and there are as many as two taels.

Ai Qiaoqiao smiled and blessed him: "Thank you Yuwen Gongzi." ”

Ma Shi stared at Ai Qiaoqiao, as if he wanted to rush over and snatch the red seal from her hand.

Ai Qiaoqiao's smile was even brighter.

The Ma family seems to have regarded Yuwenling as their own property, and she took Yuwenling's red envelope, which is to take the money of their old Ai family.

Ai Qiaoqiao thanked Yu Wenling with a smile and carefully put away the red seal.

Ma's face was even more ugly.

"Master, you eat slowly, I'll go back first." Ai Qiaoqiao turned around and walked out of the upper room.

returned to the old house, but it turned out that he had left Huai'an City at night, but he stayed after listening to the wind and rain.

"There's something going on over there in Yicaotang, and Childe is going to leave for a few days." Two children spread the word for the night to leave.

There is no night to leave here, and she doesn't have to prepare any meals at night, only she and Lan have two children, she stewed a big pot of dishes, added more water, so that there are dishes and soup.

After dinner, Zhang Wu and Wen Wenhua actually came to her.

Brother Wen also sent a large bundle of firewood.

Ai Qiaoqiao is most worried about firewood now, she is single and weak, even if she goes up the mountain to chop firewood, she can't carry much back, originally she was planning to go into winter and can only buy some firewood to come home.

"This is the river shrimp that my dad fished in the river." Zhang Wu took out a bamboo basket and handed it to Ai Qiaoqiao.

The basket was full of live shrimp.

Ai Qiaoqiao was very happy to see it, "So much, I can make shrimp dumplings, Brother Ye will definitely like it." ”

Zhang Wu muttered with some displeasure: "This is for you to eat, what to leave for the divine doctor." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao laughed a few times.

Even she didn't think about it, why when she saw delicious food, the first thing that came to mind was whether she liked it or not.

Ai Qiaoqiao invited them into the house for tea and brought out some homemade snacks.

Wen Wenhua was embarrassed to sit in the house at first, but Zhang Wu was a frequent visitor here, and pulled him into the house to eat snacks.

"Brother Wen is also going to repair the bridge?" Ai Qiaoqiao was surprised.

"yes, he wants to make more money, too." Zhang Wu explained to Wen Wenhua while nibbling on a snack, "The second child of the Wen family owes gambling debts again, and the Wen family's mother-in-law scolds her at home every day." ”

"Why didn't he go by himself, instead of letting Brother Wen go?" Ai Qiaoqiao was puzzled.

"Eccentricity." Zhang Wu pouted, "The second brother has a sweet mouth, coaxes his mother around, and gives him everything good, Brother Wen is a real person, and he can't speak." ”

Wen Wenhua smiled embarrassedly, "It's just some manual work, I can still do it, but it's hard to run Xue...... She still has to run to the Niangniang Temple every day. ”

"Is Sister-in-law Runxue going to work too?" Ai Qiaoqiao asked.

"She's there to help me deliver food, and if I come back to eat at noon, it will take a lot of time to run back and forth." Brother Wen said.

"They don't care about the food when they go to build the bridge?"

Zhang Wu explained, "They only take care of the big worker's meal, and they only have one meal at noon, we all do some small work to transport stones, and there is no craftsmanship, so people naturally don't care about our food." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao blinked, "Brother Wu, are you and your father going back for dinner?" ”

Zhang Wu shook his head, "How can we have time, just bring some in the morning." ”

"Isn't it cold at noon?"

"That's no way, it takes a lot of time to walk back and forth, and it delays work." Zhang Wu said helplessly.

Ai Qiaoqiao held her chin, not knowing what to think, "Brother Wu, can you take me to the Niangniang Temple tomorrow, I want to see the bridge." ”

"What's so nice about the bridge." Zhang Wu's eyes were puzzled.

Ai Qiaoqiao smiled, "I came up with a good idea, I want to confirm it first." ”

"What's a good idea?" Zhang Wu was also interested, he knew that Ai Qiaoqiao had the most ideas, and every time she could think of a good way to make money.

"I'll go see tomorrow." Ai Qiaoqiao smiled mysteriously, "If it is feasible, Sister-in-law Runxue can also help, and we can earn more money." ”

"I have a carriage at home, I'll take you there tomorrow." Hearing this, Wen Wenhua suddenly came to his senses.

The three agreed, and Wen Wenhua set up a carriage to pick up Ai Qiaoqiao early the next morning.

Ai Qiaoqiao left the wind and rain at home to accompany the Lan family.

The carriage walked out of the village and met Zhang Wu not far away.

Zhang Wu was not polite to Wen Wenhua, and jumped directly into the carriage.

It took more than half an hour for the three of them to arrive at the Niangniang Temple.

A shelf has been erected at one end of the stone bridge, and the workers are busy back and forth, carrying the stone.

Ai Qiaoqiao climbed to a high place and looked around.

They waited until it was nearly noon, when women came with baskets to deliver food.

The people who were working stopped what they were doing, and went to their own women, and took their food, and sat down on the spot to eat.

Ai Qiaoqiao counted carefully, and sure enough, only those who did the big work on the bridge were in charge of the food.

Ordinary odd jobs and coolies can only nibble on their own steamed buns or flatbread, and if there are clever and careful women in the family, the working men can eat better, and there are vegetables and soups.

Ai Qiaoqiao watched intently.

"Brother Xiao Wu, you say, how about we set up a tea stall here?"

Zhang Wu scratched the back of his head, "Do you want to sell tea here?" ”

"Not only hot tea, but we can also sell some steamed buns, and those who don't come home at noon will come to us to eat steamed buns, which can also save them time rushing home."

Wen Wenhua nodded, "I think this is feasible, but this bun can't be sold too expensive." ”

"It's natural, should we give it a try?" Ai Qiaoqiao's eyes were shining.

The bridge can be repaired until the end of the year, when the weather is cold, then the work will be closed, and the bridge will be repaired again tomorrow in the spring, and the business will be done for a few months.

Zhang Wu had a few small businesses with Ai Qiaoqiao, and gradually began to have his own ideas.

"I'm afraid I need to buy a lot of things, right?"

Ai Qiaoqiao snapped her fingers, "There are tables and chairs, and there are a lot of dishes and chopsticks, but fortunately, the staple food is steamed buns, and if the bowls are not enough, they can be wrapped in oiled paper and taken away." ”

"That's a lot of money, right?" Zhang Wu was a little worried, if the business was not profitable, he would lose a lot of money at that time.

"It's okay, yesterday Yuwen Gongzi rewarded me with a red envelope, and we will use it as the principal."

She wants to spend this money famously, so that Ma Shi is always worried about it, and she may ask her to ask for this money when she will return.

"Tables and chairs, we can make our own." Wen Wenhua said.

"Just four tables and more chairs." Ai Qiaoqiao calculated.

"My dad would do some simple carpentry work." Zhang Wu said excitedly.

The three of them discussed it, and when they returned, they went their separate ways.
