Seeing that Dachun had been out for a while but still hadn't come back, Mrs. Wen couldn't help but become anxious.

Thinking of her husband's honest and courteous appearance, even though he is a shopkeeper, he doesn't have many tricks in his heart. He doesn't know how to turn around when things happen, and he often suffers from being dumb.

If he and Si Ya hadn't opened this shop, he would have been able to give someone two taels for a pound of braised pork just by saying a few nice words, and he would have lost even a piece of cloth.

Mrs. Wen stood at the threshold and looked forward to it. At present, all the work in the store was finished, and he had not yet seen his return, and her heart gradually became irritable.

The two waiters have finished work, and now only the sister-in-law and sister-in-law are in the store. Si Ya is sitting on a stool and leaning against the wall, stretching comfortably.

Seeing Mrs. Wen's anxious look, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Sister-in-law, my brother is such a big man, and you are still worried about losing him."

He patted the stool next to him and said, "Stop standing at the door. I'm worried too. Come over quickly and sit down and wait. Maybe brother will be back soon."

Listening to Si Ya's relief, Mrs. Wen's frown relaxed a little, but she still couldn't help but said: "Just like your brother, maybe you sold him and helped count the money."

"Sister-in-law, do you think my eldest brother is being pulled by some girl and refuses to let go?" Si Ya said jokingly.

Mrs. Wen's face changed: "Nonsense, your eldest brother is not such a person. If he dares to be so frivolous, I will not be able to spare him. Not to mention me, mother will not spare him either."

"That's enough!" Si Ya crossed her legs and said calmly, "Then what are you worried about? You might as well sit and wait."

Mrs. Wen looked at Si Ya with her legs crossed, her face suddenly wrinkled, and she hurried over: "Hey, my aunt is a girl. It's not a good look to do this. Put your legs down quickly." She said and put Si Ya down. Ya's legs were lifted down.

Si Ya raised her mouth and muttered: "Sister-in-law, you are more verbose than my mother, but I think you are more like my mother." After that, she covered her mouth and snickered.

Greenhouse pretended to have a serious face: "If I were my mother, I would be the first to marry you off."

Unexpectedly, the sister-in-law brought the topic to this topic again, and Si Ya made a gesture of surrender with her hands: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you! I'm wrong!"

At this time, the sharp-eyed Siya saw Dachun coming back from a distance, quickly pointed her finger and said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, do you think that is the eldest brother?"

Wen quickly ran to the door and found that it was indeed Dachun. She fell to the ground happily.

Dachun saw his wife standing at the door of the shop from a distance, looking over here. The closer he got to the shop, the more his heart sank.

Along the way, he was thinking about how he would explain the one hundred taels of silver. The short journey took half as much time as usual.

He didn't know how to talk about it. It was so difficult to talk about. If his wife didn't listen to the explanation, then he would really have no excuse.

"Dachun, I'm far away, but you look listless no matter what. Why have you been gone for so long this time?" Mrs. Wen asked doubtfully.

Dachun avoided Mr. Wen's eyes and said with a guilty conscience: "It's okay. I'm not bargaining. After discussing the price and chatting with the shopkeeper, it's a little late."

"Okay, I'll unload the glutinous rice flour first, and the remaining two bags will go home." With that, Dachun got off the carriage and unloaded the glutinous rice flour.

On the way back, Dachun was particularly talkative. At the fork in the road, he almost took the wrong road, which made Mr. Wen nag again.

Seeing them coming back, Honggu rushed into the kitchen, and within half an hour, the hot meal was ready.

I have to say that Hong Gu is very good at making steamed buns. The big white steamed buns are white and soft. The diced carrots and lean meat are fried for rice, the steamed carp, the lean meat and fried garlic sprouts, and the braised pork. The fragrant smell is mouth-watering. The water flows straight.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Wen again mentioned Shen Dong's visit to the shop and the one hundred taels of silver. Dachun's face turned pale. Shen Ping, who was attentive, noticed this situation and immediately remained calm.

"Dachun, take the order and money that uncle gave you and give them to your mother quickly, otherwise you will forget about them soon," Ms. Wen reminded.

Dachun stuffed a mouthful of rice carelessly and said vaguely: "Let's eat first, otherwise the food will get cold soon."

"By the way, Mom, shopkeeper Shi sent someone here today, saying that the two branches have opened and are selling well. Those suits and individual items are in short supply. They just bought another batch of goods. I will give you the account book later.

"Well, that's good~" Shen Ping nodded. Now it's fine. The workshop and braised food are on the right track, and they are all under supervision, so she doesn't have to worry so much.

After dinner, Sanchun helped Wu return home, while Erya went back to her room to continue sewing underwear. She was not idle in the workshop today. In addition to keeping an eye on the quality of the workers, she also stayed in the workshop during her free time. On the second floor, I studied this underwear.

Siya and Cuilan Cuihong went into the kitchen and made some pastries. Sanchun was at home in the evening, so Wu didn't need her to wait on her. She heated the hot water for Master Sun, Miss Sun and Miss Six to take a bath.

Wen also made braised pork, and now the Zhang brothers take back the pig offal and pig head meat every day.

After giving it to Mrs. Gao and others, they washed it and boiled it with water, then marinated it with salt and ginger. Waiting until evening to braise will make the braised food more salty and fragrant.

Shen Ping sat in the main room waiting for Dachun to speak. She knew that Dachun must have something to say to her, but she just didn't know how to say it.

Dachun hesitated for a long time, and still planned to confess to Shen Ping about the one hundred taels of silver, but he said that he had lost it and did not report it truthfully.

Dachun watched everyone walk away, fumbled for a list from his pocket, and handed it to Shen Ping: "Mom, this is what my uncle asked me to give to you.

Shen Ping looked at it, and it clearly recorded which style was needed, including a sofa, a coffee table, a wardrobe, a dining table, the dimensions, how many sets there were in total, the price and the deposit.

But I didn't see the one hundred taels of silver notes that the boss's wife mentioned just now.

Mom, I'm telling you something, don't be angry, Dachun said hesitantly: "I lost the one hundred taels of silver notes."

Shen Ping's head buzzed and she was about to speak, but unexpectedly a voice spoke before her.

"What, lost it? Why didn't I know?" an angry voice boomed. Needless to say, hearing this voice, Shen Ping knew it must be the eldest daughter-in-law.

"It's over~"

Dachun whined for a while, feeling annoyed in his heart: "Didn't she go out, why did she come back?"

Wen walked in three steps at a time, and her hands fell on Dachun's body like raindrops: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

"Okay, stop it, stop making trouble!" Shen Ping waved her hand.

Mrs. Wen said reluctantly: "I just saw that something was wrong with you today. This is not ten taels of silver, but one hundred taels of silver. To put it bluntly, you just threw it away. I didn't see you clearly and this list. Are they folded together?"

Dachun murmured: "Maybe it fell off when I gave the money when I bought glutinous rice flour."

"Why are you so careless? One hundred taels of silver, how can we fill such a big hole?" Mrs. Wen cried anxiously, and Dachun was at a loss.

"Okay, don't worry, mother has money." You two make braised pork first! Shen Ping was so noisy by them that her head was buzzing. She rubbed her temples with her hands and waved to them.
