Sister Ma Feng said sincerely while lighting the fire: "Sister-in-law Li, how good it would be if you were my sister-in-law!" ”

Qin Liu paused with the hand that stirred the porridge pot with a long-handled wooden spoon.

On the night when Erlang was sick and the night was cold, she didn't think about it.

It's just that now, Maang has become a relative, and she has become a brother and sister with him.

The friendship between the mother and son who rushed to save them on that day, where can the love between men and women be described?

Qin Liu said slowly to Sister Ma Feng: "Sister Feng, you are still young. There are a lot of things that adults need to think about, and your brother is like this, there are many last resorts. Don't say anything like that again. Besides,"

Qin Liu smiled at Sister Ma Feng, who was pouting, and said, "I have become a brother and sister with Brother Ma, and I am also a sister to you." If Aunt Ma doesn't dislike it, think of me as a goddaughter, we are a family! ”

Qin Liu turned to look at Aunt Ma who was cutting shredded cabbage on the side of the board, Aunt Ma sighed helplessly, and squeezed out a comforting smile at Qin Liu.

Qin Liu's heart was slightly sour.

The Ma family is hardworking and sincere, and they also highly recognize her. If it weren't for the help of the Ma family, she would not have been able to gain a firm foothold in Shabaozi Town so easily and still buy a house and do business.

If it weren't for Maang hurrying to fight with the little mute that day, she and the children would have been together in Huangquan at this time.

She and the Ma family have long been not blood relatives but blood relatives.

Although breakfast was made together, it was divided into two portions after all, one was served to the main house of the Ma family, and one was served to the main house of the Li family.

After eating, Qin Liu handed over the child to Li Laohan and Lou Laotou, took his headscarf and put on an apron and went to the dumpling shop to get busy.

Qin Liu's addition made Aunt Ma, Ma Yue, and Sister Ma Feng smile a lot.

After a hard day's work, Qin Liu changed the layout design of the inn across the street.

She felt like she had to sacrifice some inn rooms to build a spacious restaurant for low-to-mid-end customers.

It is really a small and cramped dumpling shop, which also leads to a lot of inconvenience, adding some unnecessary workload and difficulty to Ma Damiang's operation - for example, washing dishes can only go to the outdoor of the small courtyard at the back, fingers are frozen stiff in the cold well water, firewood is piled up in the yard, it is easy to get wet, and it has to be taken many times.

Early the next morning, she took her preliminary plan to discuss with Aunt Ma and them.

Aunt Ma and Sister Ma Feng heard that they could wash dishes under the warm faucet, the kitchen was wide and bright, and their eyes were shining.

Qin Liu said to Ma Yue, who was listening with his ears pricked up on the side: "You put the guy in your hand first, and go to the post station next door when you have time, and pay attention to how people run it." How to build the inn next to this, I want to hear your suggestions. ”

Ma Yue jumped up excitedly, laughing so hard that his mouth was about to crack to the back of his head: "Hey! ”

Ma Yue was a clever young man, and it took him a few days to get a thorough look at the inn, and he also went to the town of Tumubao not far away, to pay attention to the operation of one of their inns that was still open.

In order to obtain the true scriptures, he came back and asked Qin Liu, saying that he wanted to go to that inn to apply for a job, and find out thoroughly.

Qin Liu smiled: "It can be done." By the way, let's see how the shopkeeper is doing, and if that's okay, let's see if we can dig it up then? ”

With the expectation of a new inn and a new restaurant, the Ma family and Qin Liu were all full of passion as if they had been beaten with blood. They studied on the ground and on paper how to make the construction layout more reasonable, and repeatedly improved it.

Ma Yue invited He Yicheng to Swallow Tower for a good drink, and asked him about the gains and losses of the inn operation.

He Yicheng sandwiched a chopstick-thin mutton shabu, dipped it in a sesame paste mixed with chopped peanuts, cooked sesame seeds, and fermented bean curd, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly, squinting his eyes comfortably.

After a while he said, "That's what it tastes like!" I don't know why, the chef of our post station is not as good as yours in the shabu-shabu. ”

Qin Liu echoed and smiled: "It's nothing, isn't it just that the meat is cut thinner, and the sesame paste is mixed with fermented bean curd, and the taste is more fragrant." "Her Swallow House can't continue to open anyway, and it doesn't matter if the secret is taught.

He Yicheng's eyes lit up: "No wonder! You're ingenious! ”

He Yicheng got Qin Liu's suggestion, and he didn't hide it: "This post station and inn are very different from each other. However, you must pay attention to the feeding and rest of the horses, especially not to let the horse have an accident in your shop, if something happens, a horse will have to pay more than 40 taels of silver, who can stand it? How can this inn survive? ”

Ma Yue's eyes lit up and nodded wildly: "Yes, you keep saying." ”

He Yicheng imparted a lot of knowledge about raising horses, saying that the quality of the grass should be good and not soaked by the rain. The concentrate should be kept clean and free of impurities, and there is no mildew and deterioration. The stables should be cleaned every day, and some common horse injuries should be prepared.

Qin Liu listened with his ears pricked up for a long time.

This is really like a mountain, and there is so much attention to just feeding the horses. Before, she was blind and arrogant, and she thought about opening an inn without knowing anything, which was really bold.

Ma Yue and the others thanked He Yicheng for sending him out of the door, and Ma Yue helped He Yicheng, who was a little drunk, to the next post station.

Old man Lou, who came to clean up the dining table, waited for the Ma family to leave, shook his head with a smile and said, "Shopkeeper, why bother so much? It's the most suitable way to sell Malay money and make a lot of money. ”

Qin Liu rolled his eyes in response.

I believe you're a ghost, you're a bad old man!

Selling horses is to make money, but you have to have the ability to make money!

……

February has passed in a blink of an eye, and it has entered March.

Qin Liu's planning and layout design for the inn and restaurant were also basically completed, and he entered the stage of purchasing building materials and preparing for construction.

This time, the amount of ceramic products was very large, and Qin Liu also specially called the owner of the porcelain kiln over for careful communication.

With the three gold ingots given by Zhu Yue, Qin Liu's wealth is much richer, and he plans to pay cash for the ceramic products this time.

The owner of the porcelain kiln rubbed his hands together with joy - this is a big business!

Their porcelain kilns mainly make low-grade porcelain, and the sales have not been smooth, mainly covering the surrounding towns. Most people use pottery, but not many people can afford to use porcelain.

Old man Lou may be too idle, and he came to annoy Qin Liu twice in three days: "Shopkeeper, the matter of selling horses can really be considered!" ”

Qin Liu replied to him with a dignified white eye: "If you can find a group of heroes like Liu Liuye and Liu Qiye, I will follow you!" ”

Old man Lou glared and said excitedly: "Shopkeeper, you have to talk and count!" ”

Qin Liu consciously lost his words, stopped looking at him, and waved his hand to blast him away.

While calculating the cost of the new inn and restaurant, she complained: "Eat me and drink me, and count me!" Hum! ”
