Raising children in an ancient county

After the shop was booked, Qiao Shen was busy planning the interior layout and ordering ingredients such as meat stew, so he had no time to sell jelly.

Simply sell the method of making jelly and taro balls to the shopkeepers who come to buy goods. The salesmen are still very happy to buy this recipe. The jelly is still very popular among the people. The jelly alone looks like ice cream It's like a piece of ice, and when you eat it, it feels like you've swallowed a mouthful of ice.

Five taels, in fact, the price is not expensive.When the salesman was the best at the beginning, he could make a net profit of four taels of silver a month. Now, although the bean curd and glutinous rice balls have robbed some of the business, hardworking shopkeepers can earn at least three taels of silver a month.

In the end, six peddlers bought Fangzi.At the same time, they also agreed to Qiao Shen's request: they would never sell the prescriptions within the two towns, but they could sell the prescriptions to people from other places, depending on their respective abilities.

Later, Qiao Shen occasionally walked on the street and saw a familiar peddler who set up a stall to sell jelly and taro balls.Later, there was also a shop of jelly and taro balls, which is a later story, so I won’t mention it.

Human beings have always been wise. These salesmen take their prescriptions and draw inferences from one instance. It is normal for those who dare to invest to become rich.

Little Chang Le began to get more and more skinny, his father gave him a sense of security, his father served him with delicious food and drinks, and took time for the two fathers to take him to play.This little Changle can eat and sleep, and as soon as his nutrition keeps up, he looks exactly the same every day, and grows fat and strong.

On this day, Qiao Shen spread straw paper on the table, and took a charcoal pencil to design the interior decoration of the shop on the paper.

At first, Xiao Changle was walking around pushing the small bench at his feet. Qiao Shen saw that Xiao Changle was by his side, and he thought there would be no danger, so he gradually focused on drawing.

Xiao Changle pushed the small bench and bumped into the chest of drawers in the main room. He looked at the chest and it looked familiar...

After confirming the eyes, there are sesame and peanut kernels made by my father.

Little Chang Le stood on the small bench, with one small paw grabbing the corner of the cabinet, and the other protruding into the cabinet, touching the earthen jar containing sesame seeds and peanuts, one small hand did not move, and he was smart, first used his hands After moving the clay pot, after moving to the edge of the cabinet, two little claws stretched in, trying to hug the small clay pot.

I don't know if he overestimated his little strength, or underestimated the weight of the small clay pot...

Qiao Shen heard the sound of pottery falling to the ground from behind, and quickly turned around to see that Xiao Changle was standing firmly on the small bench. There were broken tiles under the bench, and sesame and peanut candies were scattered all over the floor.

Children are smart, but they can read the faces of adults.Little Chang Le burst into tears before her father got angry...

Qiao Shen was not intimidated by Xiao Changle's crying. He lifted Xiao Changle and spanked her buttocks twice.

"I can't control you anymore. You will feel better if you fall, and you still have the face to cry." Qiao was deeply afraid. The older this brat grew, the less and less "safety zone" he would have at home.

Xiao Chang Le, who wanted to cry first, touched the little butt that was beaten, and really cried out of grievance, with tears hanging all over his face as if he didn't want money.

Being punished to stand in a corner and face the wall thinking about the past, Xiao Changle lost his temper, so he ignored his father.

As soon as Qi Shuo came back tonight, he was warmly welcomed by his son.As soon as the courtyard door was opened, Xiao Changle rushed over like a small cannonball, hugged her leg, pouted her pink mouth, and looked aggrieved.

Qi Shuo picked up Xiao Changle who greeted him, and sat in his arms holding him, "Why are you so obedient today? Do you miss your father?"

"He is asking you to sue me. You have made a mistake." After wrestling with himself all afternoon, he turned around and leaned on Qi Shuo. Qiao Shen was a little jealous, but out of consideration for the child's safety, he Xiao Changle must be made aware that dangerous things cannot be done.

After listening to Qiao Shen's talk about what happened in the afternoon, Qi Shuo couldn't laugh or cry.At the same time, he was secretly vigilant, and he had to be more careful with his son in the future.

Qi Shuo sat in the courtyard with his son in his arms, listening attentively to his son's complaint: "Daddy hit...it hurts...um...no...ummmahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"Daddy played Changle, didn't he? Daddy rubbed it, does it still hurt?" Qi Shuo understood the first part, but really didn't understand the latter part.

"It hurts... Daddy is bad."

"That's because daddy loves you so much. If you climb so high, if you fall down, it will hurt more than your daddy spanking you, you know?"

Seeing Xiao Changle curled up in his arms obediently, holding his little finger, Qi Shuo patiently reasoned with him.

"If you want candy, just tell your daddy, he works hard every day to cook you all kinds of delicious food, what do you want he won't give you? Go and confess your mistake to daddy, don't make trouble anymore."

Xiao Changle is used to being clingy to his father from time to time, this time his father saw that he was crying and spanked him, that's why he was acting petty, but in the end, his father didn't come to coax him as usual, it was because his father ignored him first ,Wronged.

Qiao Shen was boiling water, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao Chang Le carefully entered the stove and stood at the door, Qiao Shen pretended not to notice, and continued to work on his own.

Xiao Changle was at a loss and turned to look at his father Qi Shuo, who gave him an encouraging look.He walked towards his father slowly, stretched out his small paws and pinched Qiao Shen's trousers tentatively, seeing that his father still did not respond, he hugged Qiao Shen's legs with both hands, and said softly, "Daddy...wrong ..."

Qiao Shen couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Dad was wrong? Huh? Did Dad make a mistake?"

"Daddy, it's wrong..." Xiao Chang was happy to see his father smile, and repeated it tentatively. Seeing that his father laughed even harder, he laughed and laughed along with his father.

"You have to say, I was wrong, I..."

"Huh? I...was wrong."

Qi Shuo listened to his son's children's talk in the kitchen, and Qiao's hearty laughter, curled the corners of his mouth, and continued to drink tea.

Since then, little Chang Le sometimes got hit on his butt because he was too skinny, and after crying a few times, he ran to his father with tears in his eyes, and said pitifully, "I was wrong." Well, once he admits his mistake like this, the two fathers will no longer be able to keep a straight face.

……

At the end of the month, Qiao Shen finally finished decorating the lo-mei shop.He came up with his own idea and asked Qi Shuo to help with the construction. He set up a small stove on the left side of the shop door and made a cylindrical iron pot.

On the left side of the shop, there is a row of low cabinets at the height of a person's waist, and a row of wooden trays are placed on top of the low cabinets, intending to arrange food by category.Use two layers of gauze as a partition outside the cabinet, so that guests can see the appearance of the food through the gauze, and sew thin wooden sticks under the gauze to make the gauze vertical and beautiful.

Qiao Shen plans to put five rectangular tables on the right side of the shop, each with four benches.On the second floor, three small rooms are separated by wooden boards, one is used as a storage room; the other is equipped with a small bed for Xiao Changle to take a nap; the last room is equipped with tea tables and chairs for receiving distinguished guests and friends .

Qi Shuo invited his brothers who had learned carpentry together, together with a few carpenters, they quickly arranged the hard decoration. The simple table and chairs were made by Qi Shuo himself.

After the shop was busy, Qiao Shen began to look for sources to buy chickens and ducks. If he wanted to keep the cost to a minimum, he had to save the middleman to make the difference, so Qiao Shen decided to go directly to the villagers to buy poultry.

First of all, I thought of Shouyun Village, and found the village head of Shouyun Village. This is a good thing for the villagers to earn money. The village head agreed, so the poultry sellers in the village asked the village head to register, and the village head gathered together, and the matter was settled. up.

He had heard about Qiao Shen's plan to open a lo-mei shop a long time ago, and the Qi family would naturally support it. Mother Qi and the eldest daughter-in-law wanted to raise more poultry for supply, and brother Qi even took the initiative to undertake the delivery.

Qi's father helped kill the chicken, and he refused to accept money from his son.But at Qiao Shen's insistence, because Qiao Shen needed to separate the chicken wings, legs, and feet, as well as the chicken heart and liver, which was relatively complicated, so in the end it was only a two-pence manual fee to settle the matter. up.

All native chickens are raised in the village. Adult native chickens weigh about three to four catties. More than three catties cost 25 Wen, and four catties cost [-] Wen.Qiao Shen decided to collect [-] chickens and ducks first. There was no freezer to store them. Qiao Shen tried his best to purchase more conservatively.

In order to make it easier for brother Qi to deliver the goods, Qi Shuo specially bought a donkey for him, which is convenient for pulling people and transporting goods, and also saves the trouble of the ox cart every time.

Qiao Shen went to a dry goods store to buy marinated ingredients. When the shopkeeper heard that the quantity was large, he warmly received it.After a final discussion, the shopkeeper sold it to Qiao Shen at an additional [-]% of the cost price. Qiao Shen ordered the required marinade and left satisfied.

Finally, on the day of the Cold Clothes Festival, Qiao Ji Braised Meals opened successfully.

On the opening day, the cauldron at the door exudes a spicy smell, smelling the smell, a lot of people slowly gathered at the door.

"Today is a big joy for the opening of the shop. Anyone who comes to eat will get a bowl of cured chicken pot rice." Qiao Shen said that there is a free meal, and some wealthy people became the first to eat crabs.

"Congratulations to Shopkeeper Qiao for the successful opening. How do you eat braised meat?"

"Same joy, same joy, sit inside, if you like to eat a lot of meat, you can order some chicken legs and duck legs, if you like to eat chewy ones, I will serve you some chicken wings and duck wings, the halogen dishes are refreshing and appetizing, you all Taste it?" Qiao Shen walked towards the food cabinet to meet the people.

As soon as you enter the shop, the smell of stewed meat becomes stronger.On the food table are neatly stacked braised chicken wings and duck wings, braised chicken feet and duck feet, braised duck legs and chicken legs, and braised chicken hearts and livers, as well as the sauced duck developed by Qiao Ji. Next to the sauced duck is cured chicken, which is common in the local area. , People store chicken in this way at home.

"Then they must eat a lot of meat, so let's have duck legs, and some dried lotus root and tofu, then what, do you really give away rice?" Rice is not cheap, that person is a little unbelievable, can rice be delivered?

In order to make some gimmicks, Qiao Shen bought brown rice to cook rice. Although he used brown rice, the way Qiao Shen used it made the rice soaked in the flavor of chicken, making it less chewy.

"Really, then you sit down first, I will serve you a bowl of rice first, and then I will serve you lo mei."

The big guy didn't ask for a big bowl of rice as a bonus. Who knew that when it was served, it was as big as the bowl you eat at home, and the portion is full. This free fried chicken rice can really fill your stomach.

When everyone watched this scene, they were already tempted by the smell of stewed meat, so they started to order food. As more people ate, the entrance of Qiao Ji Braised Meat was full of people watching the excitement.

The locals find it strange that the chicken can be sold with wings and legs separately. Those who like to eat chicken wings at home order two wings with a stack of halogen dishes, and wait for the shopkeeper Qiao to deliver the meal.

On the first day of opening, fifty chickens and ducks, twenty catties of pork belly, and halogen dishes were sold out.Qi Shuo saw that Qiao Shen was so selfless counting the money, so he smiled and went to close half of the shop, saying that it was closed.
