Qiao Wan went downstairs and met He Baolian head-on.

He Baolian seemed to be waiting for Qiao Wan: "Cousin, has my cousin finished drinking the medicine?" Then I'll go up and put away the bowls. ”

Seeing her urgency, Qiao Wan frowned again, and suddenly understood in her heart-

What He Baolian cares about is probably not the medicine bowl, but wants to see if Qiao Churou has drunk the medicine in her stomach.

"You fried the medicine?" Qiao Wan stared at He Baolian and asked.

He Baolian was stunned for a moment when Qiao Wan asked this, and then quickly shook her head: "It was my cousin who fried it, I don't know how to decoct medicine!" ”

Qiao Wan smiled: "Oh, it turned out to be fried by my father, my mother just took medicine, and she is asleep now, don't go up and disturb her, it's just a medicine bowl, why are you in a hurry?" Let's leave it alone! By the way, I want to eat fish cakes from Jiulihe, you go buy some for me. ”

Qiao Wan said, went to the counter, and opened the money box.

As soon as she opened the cash box, Qiao Wan was stunned for a moment.

In the past, when the original owner was not married, he stood behind the counter here and managed the money box, and when the diners finished eating, she settled the bill.

No matter how bad the business of Dingxianglou is, there will be a few dollars of silver flowing every day.

Now, however, there are only a dozen copper plates, silver or something, and not a single one of them can be seen.

Qiao Wan raised her eyes and glanced at He Baolian, her head shrunk and she looked frightened.

This is for fear that Qiao Wan will pursue the silver money, right?

Qiao Wan sneered, she has to investigate this matter, but not now.

She took out five big coins and put them in He Baolian's hand: "Buy four fish cakes and come back, if there are still fresh shrimp cakes, buy some too." ”

Jiulihe Wharf is on the edge of the county, several miles away from Hulu Street, and you have to walk back and forth for an hour.

He Baolian didn't want to go, but she was afraid that if she stayed in the store, Qiao Wan would investigate her about the money on the counter, so she was so frightened that she took the money and ran away as soon as she smoked.

Qiao Wan's eyes sank and walked towards the back kitchen.

This time, there was only Xu Dafu in the kitchen.

As soon as Qiao Wan entered the door, she smelled a familiar smell, walked to the side of the pot, and sure enough, she saw Xu Dafu frying the tenderloin.

Sweet and sour tenderloin is Qiao Wan's favorite dish, and Xu Dafu made it specially for her.

"Daddy."

"Oh, girl, are you hungry? You'll have to wait a while for dinner, or you'll eat two pieces of my fried meat first? ”

Qiao Wan stared at Xu Dafu's face, also because she had been standing on the edge of the hot oil pan for a long time, she looked oily, and she looked a little flattering to her daughter.

This reminded Qiao Wan that when she entered the door, He Baolian also looked at her like this, with two faces, inexplicably a bit alike!

Qiao Wan showed a smile: "I'm not hungry, Dad, I just spilled my mother's medicine, is there anything extra?" ”

Xu Dafu is a good-natured person, and when he heard that Qiao Wan had sprinkled the medicine, he didn't complain, and pointed to the pottery medicine jar on the small stove on the side:

"There's still a little, I originally kept your mother to drink at night, you see, can you pour out a bowl, if not, I remember that there is still a pair left, on the shelf behind you, fry it again."

Xu Dafu was still busy on the pot and didn't come over.

Qiao Wan walked to the small stove, and sure enough, she saw that there was still half a jar of medicine, and the medicine soup and residue were all there.

She found the unfried medicine on the shelf, then picked up the medicine jar and walked out of the kitchen to the lobby.

Qiao Wan opened the dry medicine packet, poured out all the medicine residues in the medicine jar, and began to check it little by little.
