Xiao Qing ate lunch, went to grind for half an hour, and when he returned to the grass house, he asked Zhou to pull the fine linen cloth and make a few small burlap bags, which were used to carry chili powder noodles.

Qiao Yu and the Qin family took their children to throw dates and pomegranates outside, and they took them to the county tomorrow to see how much money they could sell.

Qiao Erjing continued to file the hole in the block, she just came back and stood beside him for a long time, although when she was a child, she saw a neighbor at home did carpentry, but at that time small, I didn't understand these, just asked the second warp, with a horse pin, is a kind of mortise and tenon structure, as well as a pin, tenon, without a nail, the bed frame was made, how did she never find out that Erjing actually had this ability.

She asked curiously: "Erjing, where did this ink fountain come from?" ”

Qiao Erjing lowered his head and flicked the ink line: "Mother, early in the morning, I went to ask Uncle Jiao in the village to borrow it." ”

This ink fountain is not available to everyone, especially the ink fountain and ink, which are generally unaffordable in the village, and only the Jiao family can have spare money to buy ink.

Xiao Qing saw that Erjing was doing it seriously, and it was not good for him to return the ink fountain to the Jiao family at this juncture, which would discourage his enthusiasm.

"Then you return it to them as soon as you run out!" Xiao Qing advised.

I hope that when he can return it to the Jiao family as soon as possible, there will be no problems.

The Jiao family's things are not easy to borrow, their things are very picky, and the contemporary rich people, the richer they are, the more they pick, the needlework borrowed, they have to pay back, and they have to pay rent, not to mention such a valuable ink fountain, and the Jiao family is very difficult, I am afraid that when the second meridian is returned to them, they will have to ask the second meridian for money.

"Okay, mother, you go back to rest first, and when the bed is ready, the first one will be used by my mother." Qiao Erjing knocked on the short board.

Xiao Qing was busy all morning, she was really tired, so she went to the grass hut to lie down and rest.

This sleep came in the evening, and when she woke up, Zhou and Qin had made dinner, and no one bothered her.

The family had dinner around the small table, and while eating, Xiao Qing asked Qin and Erjing to accompany her to the county seat tomorrow morning to sell some mountain fruits and dogwood noodles.

Qiao Erjing agreed, in the past two days, the millet and white rice at home will bottom out in seven or eight days according to this way of eating, and if you don't go to the county to sell some mountain fruits, you won't be able to eat anything in the future, so you can earn more money to help the family make up more millet and thick noodles, and you can last for a few days.

But this is also strange to the mother, she uses her own money to supplement the family, how can there be such a spending, the white flour and white rice, the Jiao family only dares to eat once a day, they all eat together with coarse rice and thick noodles, they live in this kind of grass house and grass shed, and they are eating three meals a day, think about the mother is practicing food.

But who let these be the mother's own money, how she wants to use it, how to eat, what can he say?

Waking up early the next day, Zhou got up early in the morning, cooked porridge in the pot, and gave it to his mother and younger siblings.

Zhou and Erjing are uncles after all, they sleep across a wall every day, although the two of them are innocent, but she is a sister-in-law, there is always a difference, not to mention that Erjing is shirtless in front of her every day, the village has long said that they gossip, a man has two kangs, and he changes the kang when he turns over.

It happened that my mother bought cloth yesterday, and the first thing she did was to rush out a dress for Erjing, and avoid suspicion outside.

The last time I went to the county seat, Erjing was still shirtless, and yesterday she and Qiao Yu drove him and Qiao Cheng's clothes out first, and saw Erjing carrying a bamboo basket.

"Yuan Yuanniang, you wait, I'll go get something for you and bring it!" Zhou saw the three of them leaving, and hurriedly shouted.

Xiao Qing turned around and saw Zhou's thin body running to the grass hut, and after a while, he walked over with a fine linen coat in his hand and handed it to Qin.

"Yuan Yuanniang, this is last night I drove out with Xiaoyu to Erjing, thinking that he often runs outside, always shirtless so as not to gossip from outsiders, and I haven't measured the width of Erjing's shoulders, so I will do it according to the Dajing, if you think it's not suitable, when you come back from the county, I'll change it smaller?" Zhou said sincerely.

Xiao Qing was touched by Zhou's words, she had been at Lao Qiao's house for a few days, and she thought that it was not suitable for them to live in the same room all the time, but she always forgot to let them move.

It's nothing for Erjing and Qin to live in the same house, and it's okay for the children to sleep with them, but Zhou's is different, she is her eldest daughter-in-law, and she is in the same room with her uncle, and the spit stars in the village drowned her sooner sooner.

Xiao Qing urged Erjing: "Erjing, the clothes your sister-in-law made for you, why are you stunned?" Don't want your daughter-in-law to try it for you? ”

Qiao Erjing blushed and said shyly: "Yes, mother, thank you, sister-in-law." ”

Xiao Qing saw that Qin's face was a little complicated, and seeing that Zhou's was bright and bright, she didn't have any thoughts, she put down the bamboo basket: "Xiao Chengniang, I can't sleep alone outside the grass house, you put the straw on your side in the outhouse at night, you sleep with me, and when the second meridian is ready, the two of us will squeeze it first." ”

There are more than a dozen people living in two thatched huts, which are too crowded, and this house must be built before winter.

Zhou responded happily, but he didn't expect his mother to be willing to sleep with her, which avoided the embarrassment of her and her younger siblings: "Okay, mother, I'll tidy up the sleeping ground." ”

The three of them saw Zhou running back to the grass house, and Xiao Qing reminded the two: "Let's go, it's almost dawn." ”

……

The most famous restaurants in Yaoshan County are Chijia Restaurant and Laiyue Inn, which are opened by the state capital and the state and county, and the second only two inns are Qiaojia Inn, and Yueju Restaurant, followed by some small restaurants and small inns, and some large inns, which will face the end of closure due to the lack of characteristics of the location and dishes.

Laibin Restaurant is such a shop, the shopkeeper is thinking about reselling the Laibin Restaurant, Zhou Chuan, the shopkeeper of the Laibin Restaurant, returned to Yaoshan County from Shangjing, because he had sent an original flavor to the palace when he was in Beijing before, and he had to see Tianyan once, and later because the formula was stolen, the world will be spicy mutton stewed pot cooking method, it was robbed of business by other restaurants and inns, and it was not good to live in Beijing, so he abandoned the restaurant in Beijing and came to Yaoshan County to open the guest restaurant.

Zhou Chuan originally wanted to make a big restaurant here with his own skills, Yaoshan County is close to Shangjing, although it belongs to Huaining Prefecture, but it has raised nearly 100,000 people by the mountains and rivers, and the population here is large, and opening a restaurant will definitely be able to turn over.

I didn't expect that the inn restaurants in Yaoshan County have their own unique taste, each of them is unique here, the taste is comparable to the major wine restaurants in Shangjing, restaurants and inns are everywhere here, and these restaurants and inns are strong behind them, it is too difficult for him to make a small fortune in this county.

The business is getting worse day by day, so the shopkeeper wants to give the wine property to the Qiaojia Inn and the Chijia Restaurant.
