I opened a mother and baby supermarket in ancient times to raise cubs
Chapter 37 Enter v New Chapter
The pain of being hungover and getting up early Qiao Mian didn't want to go through it again, especially when his limbs were still sore. Dare to procrastinate and can only bear the pain and hug the sleeping Zong Zong out of the house.
When the group boarded the carriage to the town, Qiao Mian suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen the white tiger from last night to this morning.
These few days, he and Zong Zong are away from home all day, and they don't have much time to play with it, and they also ignore it. Could it be that this tiger went up the mountain in a fit of anger?
Qiao Mian couldn't help laughing when he thought of the tiger's appearance of rolling himself into a ball when he was angry, and thought to himself that he would buy some sauced beef for the tiger when work was over in the evening, and then coax him well.
As soon as they came to Shanmian Drinks, they saw a lot of people around the shop, most of them were boys in bunts, girls who looked like little maids, and some women with children in their arms.
Seeing this scene, several people were surprised and delighted.
Aunt Li hurriedly greeted, "Everyone, don't worry, don't worry, come one by one."
As soon as the shop door opened, these people poured in like a flood, squeezing out one of Aunt Li's shoes.
Aunt Li laughed angrily, and shouted loudly, "Don't squeeze! Let our shopkeeper go in first. If the shopkeeper doesn't go in, whoever will make things for you!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd opened up automatically, and Qiao Mian and the others entered the shop smoothly.
Tang Qing continued to stand at the counter writing the list, while Qiao Mian and sister Mei, who was holding the rice dumpling, hurried to the backyard.
Qiao Mian basically didn't rest this morning. Originally, Sister Mei could help him by peeling fruit peels and heating hot water. However, Zong Zong got up this morning very abnormally, as if he was disturbed all the time. Qiao Mian was crying, he couldn't spare time to coax him, so he could only let sister Mei go out for a walk with the rice dumpling in her arms, so the hundred or so drink orders were all on him alone.
After a while, Aunt Li trotted in again with a long slip of paper. Seeing Qiao Mian sweating profusely from exhaustion, she felt distressed, and said, "I'll go to the dental clinic tomorrow and find two guys to help you." Well, you are not in good health, if you are exhausted, what is the use of earning more money?"
Qiao Mian just took out a large bowl of iced grape jelly from the well at this time. Seeing this, Aunt Li hurriedly carried it to the chopping board with him. Qiao Mian said while cutting, "I really thought about this, but Finding a buddy is to let them entertain the guests, and we still have to do the back kitchen.”
He took a moment to glance at Aunt Li and said, "Ma'am, I'll teach you and Sister Mei tonight, and I'll build a pot in the yard, and the three of us should be able to get over here!"
Aunt Li frowned and said, "This is your ability to eat, you taught me and sister Mei, this, this is not appropriate!"
In fact, there is really no skill in making this jelly and cold drink. As long as the aesthetics is normal and the ingenuity is ingenious, anyone can do it. The odd one is the white jelly that Qiao Mian exchanged from the supermarket.
Qiao Mian shook her head and said, "This is not a skill. I told you before that the reason why I can make jelly is because I happened to encounter a kind of herbal medicine recorded in that strange book when I had an accident in Yuncun Mountain. It is written in the book that the herbs are dried in the sun, and after a lot of tinkering, the jelly powder that is indispensable for making jelly is obtained!"
When Qiao Mian said this, Aunt Li finally understood. She smiled and said, "In this case, it's better for us to use our own people. When we start our business, we are afraid of those who have evil intentions making trouble!"
Qiao Mian pushed the prepared grape jelly in front of Aunt Li, took the time to wipe off her sweat with a handkerchief beside her, nodded and said, "I think so too, I will teach you tonight."
Aunt Li smiled and said hello, and hurried out with the plate.
At noon, when the weather was the hottest, the customer flow of the Shanmian Drinks shop reached its peak.
The people sitting in the shop are very leisurely. While eating strange and exquisite jelly and drinking sweet and sour cold drinks, they are also looking at the unique decorations in this room, as if they are in the wonderland of bamboo forest blowing in the cool breeze. The bitterness is the people who wait outside in the hot weather and wait in line. Perhaps this food has been spread so miraculously that nine out of ten people say it is delicious. Even the girls in the Chunhonglou are eager to move.
Aunt Li sent a list to the backyard in front of her feet, and another in the back, which made Qiao Mian twitch and tired whenever she saw Aunt Li's hands.
"Joe Mian!"
Qiao Mian's hands shook again, seeing that it was Tang Qing, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he put down the work in his hands, and shouted, "What's wrong?"
Tang Qing laughed and said, "We have a big business here!"
Qiao Mian said in a daze, "What's going on, tell me quickly, I'm too busy making loquat juice!"
Tang Qing said, "Do you still remember the person who ordered ten kinds of peaches and grape sour jelly early in the morning? That person is the manager of Chunhong Courtyard. After he took the things away in the morning, he came again at noon and said yes They want to do business with our shop, and they want to order cool drinks at our Shanmian Beverage every day in the future, and ask when you have time and want to talk to you in detail!"
Spring Red House!Is that the place of ecstasy that is always brightly lit?
What a deal!
"Really?" Qiao Mian said happily, "Did he leave?"
Tang Qing said, "I didn't go away, I'm still waiting for your reply outside, what do you think?"
"Of course such a good thing must be agreed!" Qiao Mian said, "You go and tell him about it and we agree, but I don't have time right now. I'll make an appointment tomorrow to discuss it in detail."
Tang Qing agreed, and hurried out to reply.
By the end of the night, Qiao Mian was completely exhausted and paralyzed, but when he saw the money box full of money on the table, he felt tired and satisfied.
Shanmian Drink made a net profit of 40 taels in just one day!
The average price of an ordinary fruit-flavored drink fluctuates around [-] yuan, and if you add milk and preserved fruit, it will cost [-] yuan or [-] yuan.
In fact, the most popular and best-selling jelly pudding is exquisite and delicate, especially popular with women and children. A piece costs about five or six yuan, but it is the most expensive because it takes the most effort and materials.
Aunt Li and Sister Mei were learning how to make cold drinks, while Tang Qing was sorting out the account books. Qiao Mian couldn't be idle no matter how tired she was, so she hurried to the kitchen to count the ingredients for tomorrow.
Taking advantage of the booming business, Qiao Mian felt that more new products should be launched.
The first thing to do is a hearty cheese stick.
The milk from Lao Nong’s cows in the village has basically been wrapped round by Qiao Mian, and he secretly exchanged this pure natural unprocessed milk with the sweet milk in the space.
It has to be said that Space Supermarket seems to be very inclusive of all natural things in this world.
So two or three barrels of fresh milk from the cows were replaced by more than a dozen boxes of baby sweet milk in the supermarket. Qiao Mian is now planning to buy the cows from Lao Nong's family.
Cheese is inseparable from making cheese sticks, so he bought fifty bags of cheese for some money.
Tsk tsk, the space lion opened his mouth wide, a bag of cheese costs eight cents, almost catching up with him for a cup of peach fruit drink!
Qiao Mian could only grit his teeth and bear it, after all, he took advantage of the space.
Qiao Mian also thought this was his supermarket at first, and every time he came to get something, the space would ask him like a war, not to mention the money, but later Qiao Mian also found some rules, once he went to the supermarket for a long time If you don't exchange with the supermarket, the things on the shelves will gradually turn gray until they disappear. Once he witnessed the process of a row of rice noodles disappearing under his eyes.
Now he understands that his relationship with the supermarket space is actually mutual support.
Whether it is exchanging items or buying with silver, it is like inputting energy into a machine for space.
Qiao Mian withdrew his mind from the space and found that the white jelly was about 30ml each time, so there was a lot left, and there were still a lot of mountain peaches, but grapes and loquats were obviously not enough, so he didn't plan to buy loquats. Things are not selling very well and the price is still expensive, it is better to find a way to buy some pears, and then make rock sugar pears or pear cream.
By the way, there is also cold melon, which is watermelon.
In this scorching sun, where can we lack such fruits!
Qiao Mian walked up to Tang Qing, who was keeping accounts at the side. Tang Qing's eyebrows were deeply frowned, and his fingers were stiffly calculating.
"What's the matter? You're so worried that you could squeeze flies to death?"
Tang Qing was a little discouraged, sighed, and said guiltily, "I did the math just now, and I seem to have charged a tael of silver by mistake."
"It's okay, I'm so busy these two days, it's normal to make mistakes." Qiao Mian took a look at the account book, oh, only Tang Qing could understand the densely packed crooked characters.
Tang Qing said with a guilty conscience, "Is my account book too messy?"
Since the opening of the shop, Qiao Mian has been devoting herself to the kitchen, ignoring that Tang Qing and Aunt Li are equally busy.
Qiao Mian thought for a while and said, "It's not your fault, there are too many people from the store, and it's normal for you to remember wrongly."
"I have a way. Let's number the customers in the future. When a customer comes, you give him a number first, and then write down what he bought. When the cold drink comes out, Aunt Li just yells."
Tang Qing's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea."
Qiao Mian said, "By the way, has Uncle Tang been in the valley recently? I want to ask Uncle Tang for a favor."
Tang Qing said, "He just rested and didn't enter the valley, what's the matter?"
"I heard that every family in Shacun has cold melons, and they are famously sweet and cheap, so I thought about asking Uncle Tang to help me buy some."
"Shacun?" Tang Qing nodded and said, "Shacun is quite far from Yaoshui, since it is so, let my father go early."
"By the way, there is also Yamanashi. It would be the best if I can have it. If not, I will think of a way."
After Qiao Mian returned home, she found that the small yard was very quiet.
After putting the sleeping Zong Zong on the bed, he carried the fragrant sauced beef and went out of the house to look for the tiger, but no matter how much he shouted, the tiger seemed to have disappeared without a trace of movement.
Qiao Mian's heart sank.
Where can the white tiger go?
The white tiger has never been a playful cub, especially at night, it can't wait to stay by the bathtub early to coax Qiao Mian to bathe it and then sleep with it in its arms. How could it be possible to go out and run around at night just to have fun?
Was caught?
This is even more impossible. The white tiger can kill several vicious men with such a small group. He doesn't believe that it will be captured.
Moreover, the vicious family next door has already evacuated. Liu Da was bitten by a snake and recovered from drinking and gambling a few days later. Finally, someone found his body in an alley not far from the casino. It is said that he died of drunkenness. That lady Ma One month after Liu Da died, he remarried with his two sons.
So it is impossible for the biggest enemy to come out and be a demon.
In this case, could it be possible that the white tiger left by himself?
As soon as this idea came out, Qiao Mian's nose felt a little sore, and his heart felt empty.
He sniffed and sighed helplessly.
The white tiger originally belonged to the free mountain. Could it be that it saw that his life was getting better and that no one would easily hurt him and Zong Zong, so he left without saying goodbye and returned to his own home?
Qiao Mian went to the kitchen and put the sauced beef in his hand into the white tiger's rice bowl, with a little hope in his heart that the tiger might be caught by the little tigress, and maybe he could come back tomorrow.
The next morning, Qiao Mian ran to the kitchen the first thing she did when she woke up.
When I saw that piece of beef that had attracted flies and was still in the rice bowl, I felt as sad as I had eaten four or five lemons.
Bai Hu, I really don't want him and Zong Zong anymore!
Qiao Mian unknowingly held back tears, which was similar to when Lie Shan disappeared.
He took a deep breath, and was just about to throw away the spoiled beef in the basin when he heard a knock on the door.
Qiao Mian wiped her tears with the corner of her clothes, adjusted her mood and hurried to open the door, but unexpectedly saw a few acquaintances.
It was Aunt Sun and her son who had helped Qiao Mian pack the ointment, and Brother Nan who gave the rice dumpling rattle beside him.
Qiao Mian's eyes were still a little red, and she forced a smile and said, "Come in and sit down."
"It's really embarrassing to bother Qiao Fulang so early in the morning." Aunt Sun exaggeratedly smiled and said, "I heard that Qiao Fulang opened a shop in the town, and there were so many people that the queue lined up at the end of the street, I just thought about it." You may be short of a buddy, Dajun and I are also idle, so we just want to go there to help you."
Once Qiao Mian came back late to collect honey, and Aunt Sun and Aunt Li went to him together. In order to repay the favor, Qiao Mian used them to pack ointment at a high price.
He smiled, then looked at Brother Nan again, "Brother Nan, why are you here?"
Brother Nan glanced at Aunt Sun who was close to Qiao Mian from the very beginning. He remembered that when he was ignorant, he seemed to be scolded by Aunt Sun when he said bad things about Qiao Mian, so he said embarrassingly, "I want to fuck you too. Then beg for a buddy, since you have someone, then I will go."
"Hey, wait a minute." Qiao Mian called to him, already thinking about it, he looked at Aunt Sun and said, "I'm really short of men here, but I just need two men who can run errands to deliver goods, ma'am, Look at this..."
Aunt Sun's complexion was a bit ugly, and she felt a bit dependent on the old, "Then Mrs. Li also works with you? Just find me a job like her!"
Qiao Mian's face remained normal, and she smiled, "Oh, Aunt Li is working for nothing with me, don't you know?"
Aunt Sun raised her eyebrows, "Huh?"
"In private, I worship Aunt Li as my godmother and Sister Mei as my sister. We are considered a family now, so we don't care about money, let alone what work I arrange for her."
Aunt Sun looked at her son again, and bargained, "I have helped you a lot in the village all these years, so if your Brother Dajun is working with you, you have to help me take care of me."
The smile on the corner of Qiao Mian's mouth gradually faded, and she said seriously, "Ms. Sun, I don't own this shop alone. If you do a good job, rewards are indispensable. If you do a bad job, then I should or must be kicked out!"
Da Jun was afraid of what his mother would say, so he hurriedly said, "Qiao Fulang, don't worry, I will do well!"
Brother Nan smiled happily, "Then, Qiao Fulang, are you using me?"
Qiao Mian smiled and said, "You are the same as Dajun, try it out for a while first."
This matter was settled in this way, and with Da Jun and brother Nan Qiao Mian, there was no need to go to the dental office to find hired workers.
Da Jun and Brother Nan are now doing Aunt Li's work, and Aunt Li and Sister Mei are helping Qiao Mian in the back kitchen.What surprised Qiao Mian was that Sister Mei was very talented. She had never learned painting, but the things she made were very beautiful. Once, she even used bright red peach skin and milk to make a plum in the snow.
Everyone in the shop praised her again and again, joking that Sister Mei has graduated from a teacher and can be a little master.
The little girl's face turned red, and she ran away holding the zongzi who was making trouble and clapping her hands.
Now it's getting hotter every day, and there are more and more people every day. Only a few people can work together to keep busy.
And the army had to go to Chunhongyuan to deliver the goods.
During this period, Qiao Mian made a contract with the steward of Chunhong Academy.
At noon every day, [-] cups of fruit cold drinks and [-] plates of jelly will be given, and the money will be settled once a day for a period of one month.
Qiao Mian also generously gave them a change, so that both parties were satisfied, and even the army who went to deliver the goods every day could get a few pennies as a reward.
After careful calculation, this is a very good deal for Shanmian Drink.On the one hand, they can earn a lot of money, and on the other hand, they also promote Shanmian drinks invisibly. After all, the passenger flow of Chunhongyuan is not as small as that of Yuchunlou.
A few days later, Uncle Tang returned from Shacun with a full load, and brought a surprise that Qiao Mian could not have imagined.
At this time, they were taking turns to eat, and they saw Tang Shu's ox cart parked at the back door of the yard from afar.
Seeing this, the army helped move things without saying a word, leaving his job.
Tang Qing and Qiao Mian also went forward happily, Tang Qing said, "Father, how is it going well? Did the people in Sha Village make things difficult for you? I heard that the people there have very strange tempers, and they care about every detail!"
Uncle Tang got tanned several degrees after two or three days here, Qiao Mian looked very sorry.
But Uncle Tang waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile, "Come and take a look, these cold melons and wild pears, the cold melons were harvested in Shacun, and the wild pears were picked from a mountain at the foot of Shacun. It's sweet and sour, so I stayed for a few days and picked them all back."
Qiao Mian tapped the melon with his hand, and there was a sound of thin skin all over the top. It seemed that they had been carefully selected for a long time, and there were still half a carload of brown-skinned pears. I don't know how long Uncle Tang has been picking them.
"And this." Uncle Tang brought down the two baskets again, and said, "I heard from people in Sha Village that this is the fruit of the Wufan tree. I also picked some, just thinking that you need fruits to make cold drinks, and these things don’t cost money, so I thought about it and picked more.”
Tang Qing looked at it with his chin propped up, "It feels bitter if it's black and not autumnal."
Uncle Tang gave him a chestnut, "Stinky boy, if you try it, you will get it."
Tang Qing clutched his forehead and said that he would not taste it. When I was a child in the winter, you still lied to me that the doorknob was sweet.
As soon as the words came out, everyone laughed. Qiao Mian leaned over and reached out to take out a fruit. He put it in his palm and saw that the fruit was the size of a blueberry, and even the color was blue-purple. Mian's eyes lit up, this, isn't this the smell of blueberries?
Then I looked at the outer skin of this fruit. It does not have the small tail like the bottom of the blueberry, but the flesh is also full and bright red, and the taste is sour and sweet.
Qiao Mian smiled and said, "Uncle Tang, you have been so helpful, I don't even know how to thank you!"
Tang Qing was still provoking, "Is it really delicious? Can I eat it?"
"Hey, it's a little bit of help, so don't be so polite." Uncle Tang waved his hand indifferently, and gave Tang Qing another look, "You just have to try it, you talk so much!"
Tang Qing angrily grabbed one and put it in his mouth.
The next day, Shanmian Beverage hung a wooden sign outside the door.
It says "Mountain Beverage has a new product!"
"There are fragrant Pitteng cold melon, soft and smooth cheese, sweet and delicious rock sugar pear, and slightly dreamy five-color glass jelly! Welcome to the store to taste new products!"
"Only one hundred copies are sold every day, first come first served!"
Women's College.
The goose-yellow girl sighed, "Shu'er, have you heard? Shanmian Drink has a new product, I really want to eat it, but I'm afraid there won't be any after school!"
Shu'er whispered, "You can tell me what you want to eat, does my mother know the shopkeeper?"
Obviously these words were very quiet, but they quickly spread to the whole room.
Even the female master knocking on the table with a ruler with a cold face couldn't suppress the whispering of these "little sparrows".
After entering the hall, I heard the female master say coldly, "Li Shu'er stay here!"
Shu'er shrank her neck, woo, and looked at the girl in light yellow clothes as if asking for help, but no good sister dared to stay and rescue her in the face of the cold pressure released by the female master.
After everyone had left, Shu'er nervously walked to the female master's table and stood still.
The female master had no expression on her face, "You recite the eighth chapter of "Nv Poetry" once."
After Shu'er finished reciting it fluently, she thought that the female master was going to punish her, so she heard the female master sigh, "I remember you are about to grow up, and you will get married in less than a year. With your talent and family background, even if you marry, you must go As the mistress of a rich family, master hopes that you can be more calm."
Shu'er responded blankly.
After a few more earnest instructions from the female master, she hesitated, cleared her throat, and said, "I heard that your mother knows the shopkeeper of Shanmian Drink?"
Shu'er, who was still very touched just now, was full of doubts, "Huh?"
When Shu'er came out of the school, a group of little sisters asked her if she had been beaten or scolded.
Shu'er remembered the female master's exhortation again, and couldn't help laughing, "It's nothing, it's nothing, the master just told me a few words."
Several people breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."
"By the way, Shu'er, your mother knows the shopkeeper of Shanmian Beverage? Can you leave me a copy of five-color glass?"
The so-called five-color glass is five colors of jelly mixed together. The juice has a mellow rice wine flavor. The thick dark blue in the jelly is mostly crystal clear, like a distant starry sky, with a whisper-like mystery.
Shu'er knocked her on the head, "Change one, change another, it smells like alcohol, and children are not allowed to drink alcohol." She took her good sister's arm and said with a smile, "Let's each have a little cheese, I want Shih Tzu, what do you want?"
"Then I want Mrs. Zhen!"
"it is good!"
In the Spring Red Courtyard.
Miss Danxin was lying sleepy on the recliner, and the little girl beside her was flattering while shaking her fan, "Girl, please eat something, Mr. Lin must have been delayed by something, so he didn't come to see you."
Dan Xinjiao's lips trembled, and two lines of tears also fell down, covering her face and crying, "I won't eat, I'll starve to death, just as you wish!"
"Chou Chou, Chou Chou, what are you talking about!"
As soon as the voice came out, the little girl was surprised and said, "Mr. Lin! You are here!"
Mr. Lin looked like a jade tree facing the wind, and he had a good-looking talent. He waved at the servant behind him, and the servant hurriedly put the things in the food box on the table one by one.
The little girl's eyes were very sharp, and she recognized at a glance that the thing on the wooden plate was really the popular mountain cotton drink sold recently!
Mr. Lin took advantage of the opportunity to embrace the beauty's thin shoulders, and wiped away the tears for Danxin pitifully, "Oh, don't cry, I recently helped my county lord and brother-in-law with something, so I didn't take the time to see you, look, I'll give you What good things did you bring?" He took out a warm jade-colored bracelet from his cuff like a magic trick and put it on Dan Xin's wrist.
"Look, it's really a beautiful woman with beautiful jade."
Dan Xin was still crying just now, so she looked at the extremely precious jade bracelet with joy in her eyes, broke through her tears and said with a smile, "It's so beautiful."
"I heard that you have a bad appetite, so I asked my servants to go to Shanmian Drinks to order new products for you."
The servant at the side was winking, and hurriedly said with a shy face, "Miss Danxin, you don't know, this mountain cotton drink has a rule of only selling [-] copies a day when it comes out of a new product, but our Young Master Lin took a lot of effort to let that Shanmian Drink is an exception and has made a new set for you."
Dan Xin's eyes lit up when he heard it, "Really?"
You must know that Chunhongyuan does business with the mountain cotton drink, and the mountain cotton drink is not willing to make an exception for them. If they don't give away new products, they will still send old drinks as usual.
Moreover, there are many people who order in advance every day, and most people can't taste the taste of new products at all.
This new product has only been released for two days, so she can taste it?The oiran of Chunhongyuan showed that she had tasted the five-color glaze that day, but she was very envious of all the sisters.
Seeing her like this, Young Master Lin knew she was ready to be coaxed, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and hurriedly greeted, "Ah Chun, put it on Miss Dan Xin."
Shanmian Beverage released a total of four new products, and the more she looked at it, the happier she became.
The first thing to eat is the five-color colored glaze.
I took a spoonful of dark blue jelly and put it into my mouth. The mellow rice wine aroma exploded in my mouth. After chewing, I could taste a strange sweet and sour taste, not like grapes, nor like ordinary fruit sour. The taste is light and fragrant, and after a few bites, the tip of the tongue seems to be sour.
Dan Xin nestled in Young Master Lin's arms, and asked delicately, "What kind of fruit is this made of?"
Young Master Lin looked at it and said, "I heard it's a kind of mountain fruit, but the people in that shop call it a berry."
Dan Xin smiled and said, "It's delicious."
County Yali.
Master Song heard Master Song clearing his throat again, and said, "My lord, drink some water and rest, this case file can't be read in a day."
Master Song sighed, and there was joy and worry in this sigh, "I heard what the teacher said, this matter is likely to be completed, and we will be leaving in the spring of next year. I just feel uncomfortable with these files."
The master said, "Then you have to pay attention to rest, how about going out for a walk?"
Master Song put down the file and rubbed his sore forehead, "It's like a stove outside, and you'll be sweating if you walk around it."
The master smiled and said, "That mountain cotton drink is quite close to us, my lord, go and have a look? I heard that the shop is very elegantly decorated, and within a month it will be a very popular shop in Shun'an Town."
"Shanmian?" Lord Song took the time to open his eyes, "Could it be that Qiao Fulang?"
The master said, "Exactly."
Master Song thought for a moment, got up and said, "Let's go and have a look!"
Master Song and Master were also shocked by this fiery scene when they went to Shanmian for drinks.
The two couldn't squeeze in at all. A woman thought that the two of them were going to jump in line, so she hurried forward and glared at them, "Jump in line?"
The people next to her hurriedly pulled her, saying, looking like a small person made her restrain her temper.
Who knew that the woman said with a cold face, "Even if the magistrate of the county comes, I'm not afraid. The shopkeeper Qiao of Shanmian Drink said that all customers are equal, and even the king of heaven has to wait in line!"
The master and the magistrate "...
The master whispered, "My lord, I'll go in and inform Shopkeeper Qiao."
The county magistrate looked around the shop, shook his head and said, "Let's go around and enter from the backyard of this shop."
The master said hello.
It was said that Qiao Mian and the others were working in the kitchen when they heard a knock on the back door.
Qiao Mian thought it was the icing deliverer, and shouted, "Sister Mei, go and open the back door!"
Sister Mei hugged the rice dumpling in her arms and said hey, she was startled as soon as she opened the door with a smile.
This, this is obviously not for icing!
The master said, "Little girl, do you dare to ask Qiao Mian if Qiao Fulang is there?"
Sister Mei met more people these days than she used to know, so she didn't feel so embarrassed when she spoke, she just whispered, "Yes, yes."
Qiao Mian came out while wiping her hands, without looking at anyone, she just asked, "How much are these frostings?"
Master Song smiled and said, "Qiao Fulang's business is really booming."
Qiao Mian was taken aback, and when he saw Master Song in front of him, he hurriedly bowed, "Caomin has seen you before."
"Don't stick to these etiquettes." Master Song smiled kindly. "I heard that your shop is booming, and I'm here to cheer you on."
Qiao Mian hurriedly greeted the county magistrate and master to sit on the stone bench in the yard, and then gave a few words to Sister Mei who was beside her.
The three of them chatted about the shop, and after a while, sister Mei brought some cold drinks.
Qiao Mian put the bowl of rock sugar pear jelly in front of Mr. Song, "My lord's voice is a little hoarse, Cao Min dared to prepare a bowl of rock sugar pear for him. This pear can clear away heat and reduce phlegm, moisten the lungs and relieve cough."
He also placed a stack of bitter gourds in front of the master, "This cold melon was bought from Sha Village, it is very sweet and thirst-quenching, I hope the master will not like it."
The rock sugar pear jelly, the soft pear flesh is wrapped in light yellow jelly into small pear-shaped balls, soaked in the sweet pear soup, looking crystal clear, like a rare coral in the water.The Pitteng watermelon, on the other hand, really looks like a cut watermelon. The bottom layer of rich tree green jelly is followed by soft white jelly, and the top is clear watermelon red jelly. .
When the two of them finished eating, they looked at each other at the same time, no wonder they are so popular, this Qiao Fulang really has two brushes!
"Good, good." Master Song praised after eating, "This cold drink does not lose the fragrance of pears, and it is made into this frozen shape, and the taste is even more wonderful!"
"I've heard from my children that this goat cotton drink cold drink jelly is a must, and I've always wanted to try it." The master smiled and said, "Thanks to the shopkeeper Qiao for opening the back door for us, otherwise I would have to wait in line. sunset."
Qiao Mian sighed, "Where is the master, next time you want to eat, let us know in advance, and we can make it for you in advance."
The master stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Then I would like to thank Shopkeeper Qiao for being here. Whoever let the family have a gluttonous daughter who wants to eat well."
Just as Mr. Song was about to say something, he heard bursts of familiar laughter coming from ahead.
Looking at the intimate action again, it was Song Boze and Tang Qing who were joking.
Master Song's complexion suddenly darkened.
Qiao Mian saw it in his eyes, and he was also sweating for Song Boze and Tang Qing, the little mandarin ducks!
On the other hand, Song Boze and Tang Qing stood there in shock.
Master Song finished the pear in the cup, said a few words to Qiao Mian, and was about to leave. Before leaving, he glanced lightly at Song Boze, who was like a pillar.
Seeing this, Song Boze could only grit his teeth and follow.
Qiao Mian looked at Tang Qing, only to see that Tang Qing's eyes turned red instantly.
Song Boze followed Mr. Song back home, and before he could say anything, he saw a slap in the face.
Song Boze staggered and quickly knelt down, "Father!"
Mr. Song said angrily, "What did I say, telling you not to have any more contact with that brother, do you take my words as a deaf ear?"
Song Boze's face was ashen, but the light in his eyes was very bright, "Father, didn't you teach me when I was a child that I should be elegant and upright, that I should be free and easy, and that I shouldn't be a celebrity. Why are you marrying my child now?" This matter is used as a bargaining chip!"
Mr. Song paused in his eyes, waved his sleeves again, and said in a deep voice, "The present is not the same as in the past! The order to be a father will come down soon. You are the son of Mr. Fucheng. Of course, your marriage cannot be decided by yourself!"
"What if I refuse!" Song Boze's eyes brightened like wolves, "I refuse!"
"I can't help you!"
Song Boze stood up and wanted to leave, but he heard Mr. Song's strange and cold tone, which was not at all like the father who told him when he was a child that he could be free.
Master Song said lightly, "If you dare to take a step, there will be no mountain cotton drinks tomorrow."
"Father!" Song Boze yelled angrily, clenching his fists tightly, "Aren't you a good official admired by everyone! How can you threaten me with this matter! Do you know that your light words are very important to the people of Shanmian Drinks?" What are you talking about? You can't be ungrateful, if it wasn't for Qiao Mian, how do you think Mr. Zhang would notice you! Father, you are killing a donkey!"
Master Song said coldly, "Come here! The young master is sick! Shut the young master back into the room, and from now on he is not allowed to go out without my permission!"
A group of servants bowed their heads and said, "Yes!"
So Song Boze went on a hunger strike from the first day he was locked up.
In this way, even Mrs. Song, who had been eating fast and praying to Buddha, was alarmed.
When he arrived at the place where Song Boze was locked up, he was so angry that tears were about to fall.
When Song Boze, who was dying, saw Mrs. Song, he suddenly recovered, hugged Mrs. Song's waist and cried, begging her to let him out.
Mrs. Song recited Amitabha and said, "Ze'er, be good and listen to your father!"
"I don't!" Song Boze's tormented eyes these days are sunken, and his whole body is unshaven. "I just said that I like Tang Qing, and I want to marry him! It's my father who doesn't keep his word. Marriage matters are in my hands, why has he changed now!"
Mrs. Song sighed, "When your father married me, he also said that he would only marry me. But later he married two concubines for some reason. He also said that he would not marry your sister far away. But I still marry your sister so far away, I don't even know how my child is doing. Ze'er, think about it carefully."
"Mother is not your father's lobbyist. I just heard that Tang Qing and the shopkeeper Qiao of Shanmian Beverage are close friends. It is said that Qiao Fulang is also a poor man. Without a husband, he will drag a child. If your father doesn't want him He can't open a shop in Shun'an Town. And mother, your sister is married away, and mother is only you. If you insist on being with that Tang Qing, have you ever thought about what will happen to mother?"
"Zer, think about it carefully."
Song Boze staggered to his knees, covered his face and cried in a low voice.
Tang Qing fell ill.
Since the day Song Boze disappeared, Tang Qing has been working hard. Sometimes Qiao Mian couldn't bear to see him and wanted him to take a rest, but who knew that this silly boy didn't listen at all, until the day before that he had to accompany Dajun to the Spring Festival. The Red Court delivered the goods, and then suffered from heatstroke.
Young Master Song from Yuqiao Si also often came to Qiao Mian's shop these days, seeing that he was really too busy, so he lent Qiao Mian a few capable men from Yuqiao Si for emergency.
Those clerks were all the clerks who signed the contract of sale in Yuqiao [-], and they didn't sloppy in their work at all, which could be regarded as a great help to Qiao Mian.
No matter how busy Qiao Mian is these days, he has to go back to Yaoshui Village to add fresh food to Baihu's rice bowl, but every time he throws away the untouched food and replaces it with new ones.
Gradually, a second image appeared in his mind, that is, the white tiger returned to the forest, maybe he found his parents?After all, it's just a fluffy little cub with pink paw pads.
He tidied up and brought it to Tang Qing
When the group boarded the carriage to the town, Qiao Mian suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen the white tiger from last night to this morning.
These few days, he and Zong Zong are away from home all day, and they don't have much time to play with it, and they also ignore it. Could it be that this tiger went up the mountain in a fit of anger?
Qiao Mian couldn't help laughing when he thought of the tiger's appearance of rolling himself into a ball when he was angry, and thought to himself that he would buy some sauced beef for the tiger when work was over in the evening, and then coax him well.
As soon as they came to Shanmian Drinks, they saw a lot of people around the shop, most of them were boys in bunts, girls who looked like little maids, and some women with children in their arms.
Seeing this scene, several people were surprised and delighted.
Aunt Li hurriedly greeted, "Everyone, don't worry, don't worry, come one by one."
As soon as the shop door opened, these people poured in like a flood, squeezing out one of Aunt Li's shoes.
Aunt Li laughed angrily, and shouted loudly, "Don't squeeze! Let our shopkeeper go in first. If the shopkeeper doesn't go in, whoever will make things for you!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd opened up automatically, and Qiao Mian and the others entered the shop smoothly.
Tang Qing continued to stand at the counter writing the list, while Qiao Mian and sister Mei, who was holding the rice dumpling, hurried to the backyard.
Qiao Mian basically didn't rest this morning. Originally, Sister Mei could help him by peeling fruit peels and heating hot water. However, Zong Zong got up this morning very abnormally, as if he was disturbed all the time. Qiao Mian was crying, he couldn't spare time to coax him, so he could only let sister Mei go out for a walk with the rice dumpling in her arms, so the hundred or so drink orders were all on him alone.
After a while, Aunt Li trotted in again with a long slip of paper. Seeing Qiao Mian sweating profusely from exhaustion, she felt distressed, and said, "I'll go to the dental clinic tomorrow and find two guys to help you." Well, you are not in good health, if you are exhausted, what is the use of earning more money?"
Qiao Mian just took out a large bowl of iced grape jelly from the well at this time. Seeing this, Aunt Li hurriedly carried it to the chopping board with him. Qiao Mian said while cutting, "I really thought about this, but Finding a buddy is to let them entertain the guests, and we still have to do the back kitchen.”
He took a moment to glance at Aunt Li and said, "Ma'am, I'll teach you and Sister Mei tonight, and I'll build a pot in the yard, and the three of us should be able to get over here!"
Aunt Li frowned and said, "This is your ability to eat, you taught me and sister Mei, this, this is not appropriate!"
In fact, there is really no skill in making this jelly and cold drink. As long as the aesthetics is normal and the ingenuity is ingenious, anyone can do it. The odd one is the white jelly that Qiao Mian exchanged from the supermarket.
Qiao Mian shook her head and said, "This is not a skill. I told you before that the reason why I can make jelly is because I happened to encounter a kind of herbal medicine recorded in that strange book when I had an accident in Yuncun Mountain. It is written in the book that the herbs are dried in the sun, and after a lot of tinkering, the jelly powder that is indispensable for making jelly is obtained!"
When Qiao Mian said this, Aunt Li finally understood. She smiled and said, "In this case, it's better for us to use our own people. When we start our business, we are afraid of those who have evil intentions making trouble!"
Qiao Mian pushed the prepared grape jelly in front of Aunt Li, took the time to wipe off her sweat with a handkerchief beside her, nodded and said, "I think so too, I will teach you tonight."
Aunt Li smiled and said hello, and hurried out with the plate.
At noon, when the weather was the hottest, the customer flow of the Shanmian Drinks shop reached its peak.
The people sitting in the shop are very leisurely. While eating strange and exquisite jelly and drinking sweet and sour cold drinks, they are also looking at the unique decorations in this room, as if they are in the wonderland of bamboo forest blowing in the cool breeze. The bitterness is the people who wait outside in the hot weather and wait in line. Perhaps this food has been spread so miraculously that nine out of ten people say it is delicious. Even the girls in the Chunhonglou are eager to move.
Aunt Li sent a list to the backyard in front of her feet, and another in the back, which made Qiao Mian twitch and tired whenever she saw Aunt Li's hands.
"Joe Mian!"
Qiao Mian's hands shook again, seeing that it was Tang Qing, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he put down the work in his hands, and shouted, "What's wrong?"
Tang Qing laughed and said, "We have a big business here!"
Qiao Mian said in a daze, "What's going on, tell me quickly, I'm too busy making loquat juice!"
Tang Qing said, "Do you still remember the person who ordered ten kinds of peaches and grape sour jelly early in the morning? That person is the manager of Chunhong Courtyard. After he took the things away in the morning, he came again at noon and said yes They want to do business with our shop, and they want to order cool drinks at our Shanmian Beverage every day in the future, and ask when you have time and want to talk to you in detail!"
Spring Red House!Is that the place of ecstasy that is always brightly lit?
What a deal!
"Really?" Qiao Mian said happily, "Did he leave?"
Tang Qing said, "I didn't go away, I'm still waiting for your reply outside, what do you think?"
"Of course such a good thing must be agreed!" Qiao Mian said, "You go and tell him about it and we agree, but I don't have time right now. I'll make an appointment tomorrow to discuss it in detail."
Tang Qing agreed, and hurried out to reply.
By the end of the night, Qiao Mian was completely exhausted and paralyzed, but when he saw the money box full of money on the table, he felt tired and satisfied.
Shanmian Drink made a net profit of 40 taels in just one day!
The average price of an ordinary fruit-flavored drink fluctuates around [-] yuan, and if you add milk and preserved fruit, it will cost [-] yuan or [-] yuan.
In fact, the most popular and best-selling jelly pudding is exquisite and delicate, especially popular with women and children. A piece costs about five or six yuan, but it is the most expensive because it takes the most effort and materials.
Aunt Li and Sister Mei were learning how to make cold drinks, while Tang Qing was sorting out the account books. Qiao Mian couldn't be idle no matter how tired she was, so she hurried to the kitchen to count the ingredients for tomorrow.
Taking advantage of the booming business, Qiao Mian felt that more new products should be launched.
The first thing to do is a hearty cheese stick.
The milk from Lao Nong’s cows in the village has basically been wrapped round by Qiao Mian, and he secretly exchanged this pure natural unprocessed milk with the sweet milk in the space.
It has to be said that Space Supermarket seems to be very inclusive of all natural things in this world.
So two or three barrels of fresh milk from the cows were replaced by more than a dozen boxes of baby sweet milk in the supermarket. Qiao Mian is now planning to buy the cows from Lao Nong's family.
Cheese is inseparable from making cheese sticks, so he bought fifty bags of cheese for some money.
Tsk tsk, the space lion opened his mouth wide, a bag of cheese costs eight cents, almost catching up with him for a cup of peach fruit drink!
Qiao Mian could only grit his teeth and bear it, after all, he took advantage of the space.
Qiao Mian also thought this was his supermarket at first, and every time he came to get something, the space would ask him like a war, not to mention the money, but later Qiao Mian also found some rules, once he went to the supermarket for a long time If you don't exchange with the supermarket, the things on the shelves will gradually turn gray until they disappear. Once he witnessed the process of a row of rice noodles disappearing under his eyes.
Now he understands that his relationship with the supermarket space is actually mutual support.
Whether it is exchanging items or buying with silver, it is like inputting energy into a machine for space.
Qiao Mian withdrew his mind from the space and found that the white jelly was about 30ml each time, so there was a lot left, and there were still a lot of mountain peaches, but grapes and loquats were obviously not enough, so he didn't plan to buy loquats. Things are not selling very well and the price is still expensive, it is better to find a way to buy some pears, and then make rock sugar pears or pear cream.
By the way, there is also cold melon, which is watermelon.
In this scorching sun, where can we lack such fruits!
Qiao Mian walked up to Tang Qing, who was keeping accounts at the side. Tang Qing's eyebrows were deeply frowned, and his fingers were stiffly calculating.
"What's the matter? You're so worried that you could squeeze flies to death?"
Tang Qing was a little discouraged, sighed, and said guiltily, "I did the math just now, and I seem to have charged a tael of silver by mistake."
"It's okay, I'm so busy these two days, it's normal to make mistakes." Qiao Mian took a look at the account book, oh, only Tang Qing could understand the densely packed crooked characters.
Tang Qing said with a guilty conscience, "Is my account book too messy?"
Since the opening of the shop, Qiao Mian has been devoting herself to the kitchen, ignoring that Tang Qing and Aunt Li are equally busy.
Qiao Mian thought for a while and said, "It's not your fault, there are too many people from the store, and it's normal for you to remember wrongly."
"I have a way. Let's number the customers in the future. When a customer comes, you give him a number first, and then write down what he bought. When the cold drink comes out, Aunt Li just yells."
Tang Qing's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea."
Qiao Mian said, "By the way, has Uncle Tang been in the valley recently? I want to ask Uncle Tang for a favor."
Tang Qing said, "He just rested and didn't enter the valley, what's the matter?"
"I heard that every family in Shacun has cold melons, and they are famously sweet and cheap, so I thought about asking Uncle Tang to help me buy some."
"Shacun?" Tang Qing nodded and said, "Shacun is quite far from Yaoshui, since it is so, let my father go early."
"By the way, there is also Yamanashi. It would be the best if I can have it. If not, I will think of a way."
After Qiao Mian returned home, she found that the small yard was very quiet.
After putting the sleeping Zong Zong on the bed, he carried the fragrant sauced beef and went out of the house to look for the tiger, but no matter how much he shouted, the tiger seemed to have disappeared without a trace of movement.
Qiao Mian's heart sank.
Where can the white tiger go?
The white tiger has never been a playful cub, especially at night, it can't wait to stay by the bathtub early to coax Qiao Mian to bathe it and then sleep with it in its arms. How could it be possible to go out and run around at night just to have fun?
Was caught?
This is even more impossible. The white tiger can kill several vicious men with such a small group. He doesn't believe that it will be captured.
Moreover, the vicious family next door has already evacuated. Liu Da was bitten by a snake and recovered from drinking and gambling a few days later. Finally, someone found his body in an alley not far from the casino. It is said that he died of drunkenness. That lady Ma One month after Liu Da died, he remarried with his two sons.
So it is impossible for the biggest enemy to come out and be a demon.
In this case, could it be possible that the white tiger left by himself?
As soon as this idea came out, Qiao Mian's nose felt a little sore, and his heart felt empty.
He sniffed and sighed helplessly.
The white tiger originally belonged to the free mountain. Could it be that it saw that his life was getting better and that no one would easily hurt him and Zong Zong, so he left without saying goodbye and returned to his own home?
Qiao Mian went to the kitchen and put the sauced beef in his hand into the white tiger's rice bowl, with a little hope in his heart that the tiger might be caught by the little tigress, and maybe he could come back tomorrow.
The next morning, Qiao Mian ran to the kitchen the first thing she did when she woke up.
When I saw that piece of beef that had attracted flies and was still in the rice bowl, I felt as sad as I had eaten four or five lemons.
Bai Hu, I really don't want him and Zong Zong anymore!
Qiao Mian unknowingly held back tears, which was similar to when Lie Shan disappeared.
He took a deep breath, and was just about to throw away the spoiled beef in the basin when he heard a knock on the door.
Qiao Mian wiped her tears with the corner of her clothes, adjusted her mood and hurried to open the door, but unexpectedly saw a few acquaintances.
It was Aunt Sun and her son who had helped Qiao Mian pack the ointment, and Brother Nan who gave the rice dumpling rattle beside him.
Qiao Mian's eyes were still a little red, and she forced a smile and said, "Come in and sit down."
"It's really embarrassing to bother Qiao Fulang so early in the morning." Aunt Sun exaggeratedly smiled and said, "I heard that Qiao Fulang opened a shop in the town, and there were so many people that the queue lined up at the end of the street, I just thought about it." You may be short of a buddy, Dajun and I are also idle, so we just want to go there to help you."
Once Qiao Mian came back late to collect honey, and Aunt Sun and Aunt Li went to him together. In order to repay the favor, Qiao Mian used them to pack ointment at a high price.
He smiled, then looked at Brother Nan again, "Brother Nan, why are you here?"
Brother Nan glanced at Aunt Sun who was close to Qiao Mian from the very beginning. He remembered that when he was ignorant, he seemed to be scolded by Aunt Sun when he said bad things about Qiao Mian, so he said embarrassingly, "I want to fuck you too. Then beg for a buddy, since you have someone, then I will go."
"Hey, wait a minute." Qiao Mian called to him, already thinking about it, he looked at Aunt Sun and said, "I'm really short of men here, but I just need two men who can run errands to deliver goods, ma'am, Look at this..."
Aunt Sun's complexion was a bit ugly, and she felt a bit dependent on the old, "Then Mrs. Li also works with you? Just find me a job like her!"
Qiao Mian's face remained normal, and she smiled, "Oh, Aunt Li is working for nothing with me, don't you know?"
Aunt Sun raised her eyebrows, "Huh?"
"In private, I worship Aunt Li as my godmother and Sister Mei as my sister. We are considered a family now, so we don't care about money, let alone what work I arrange for her."
Aunt Sun looked at her son again, and bargained, "I have helped you a lot in the village all these years, so if your Brother Dajun is working with you, you have to help me take care of me."
The smile on the corner of Qiao Mian's mouth gradually faded, and she said seriously, "Ms. Sun, I don't own this shop alone. If you do a good job, rewards are indispensable. If you do a bad job, then I should or must be kicked out!"
Da Jun was afraid of what his mother would say, so he hurriedly said, "Qiao Fulang, don't worry, I will do well!"
Brother Nan smiled happily, "Then, Qiao Fulang, are you using me?"
Qiao Mian smiled and said, "You are the same as Dajun, try it out for a while first."
This matter was settled in this way, and with Da Jun and brother Nan Qiao Mian, there was no need to go to the dental office to find hired workers.
Da Jun and Brother Nan are now doing Aunt Li's work, and Aunt Li and Sister Mei are helping Qiao Mian in the back kitchen.What surprised Qiao Mian was that Sister Mei was very talented. She had never learned painting, but the things she made were very beautiful. Once, she even used bright red peach skin and milk to make a plum in the snow.
Everyone in the shop praised her again and again, joking that Sister Mei has graduated from a teacher and can be a little master.
The little girl's face turned red, and she ran away holding the zongzi who was making trouble and clapping her hands.
Now it's getting hotter every day, and there are more and more people every day. Only a few people can work together to keep busy.
And the army had to go to Chunhongyuan to deliver the goods.
During this period, Qiao Mian made a contract with the steward of Chunhong Academy.
At noon every day, [-] cups of fruit cold drinks and [-] plates of jelly will be given, and the money will be settled once a day for a period of one month.
Qiao Mian also generously gave them a change, so that both parties were satisfied, and even the army who went to deliver the goods every day could get a few pennies as a reward.
After careful calculation, this is a very good deal for Shanmian Drink.On the one hand, they can earn a lot of money, and on the other hand, they also promote Shanmian drinks invisibly. After all, the passenger flow of Chunhongyuan is not as small as that of Yuchunlou.
A few days later, Uncle Tang returned from Shacun with a full load, and brought a surprise that Qiao Mian could not have imagined.
At this time, they were taking turns to eat, and they saw Tang Shu's ox cart parked at the back door of the yard from afar.
Seeing this, the army helped move things without saying a word, leaving his job.
Tang Qing and Qiao Mian also went forward happily, Tang Qing said, "Father, how is it going well? Did the people in Sha Village make things difficult for you? I heard that the people there have very strange tempers, and they care about every detail!"
Uncle Tang got tanned several degrees after two or three days here, Qiao Mian looked very sorry.
But Uncle Tang waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile, "Come and take a look, these cold melons and wild pears, the cold melons were harvested in Shacun, and the wild pears were picked from a mountain at the foot of Shacun. It's sweet and sour, so I stayed for a few days and picked them all back."
Qiao Mian tapped the melon with his hand, and there was a sound of thin skin all over the top. It seemed that they had been carefully selected for a long time, and there were still half a carload of brown-skinned pears. I don't know how long Uncle Tang has been picking them.
"And this." Uncle Tang brought down the two baskets again, and said, "I heard from people in Sha Village that this is the fruit of the Wufan tree. I also picked some, just thinking that you need fruits to make cold drinks, and these things don’t cost money, so I thought about it and picked more.”
Tang Qing looked at it with his chin propped up, "It feels bitter if it's black and not autumnal."
Uncle Tang gave him a chestnut, "Stinky boy, if you try it, you will get it."
Tang Qing clutched his forehead and said that he would not taste it. When I was a child in the winter, you still lied to me that the doorknob was sweet.
As soon as the words came out, everyone laughed. Qiao Mian leaned over and reached out to take out a fruit. He put it in his palm and saw that the fruit was the size of a blueberry, and even the color was blue-purple. Mian's eyes lit up, this, isn't this the smell of blueberries?
Then I looked at the outer skin of this fruit. It does not have the small tail like the bottom of the blueberry, but the flesh is also full and bright red, and the taste is sour and sweet.
Qiao Mian smiled and said, "Uncle Tang, you have been so helpful, I don't even know how to thank you!"
Tang Qing was still provoking, "Is it really delicious? Can I eat it?"
"Hey, it's a little bit of help, so don't be so polite." Uncle Tang waved his hand indifferently, and gave Tang Qing another look, "You just have to try it, you talk so much!"
Tang Qing angrily grabbed one and put it in his mouth.
The next day, Shanmian Beverage hung a wooden sign outside the door.
It says "Mountain Beverage has a new product!"
"There are fragrant Pitteng cold melon, soft and smooth cheese, sweet and delicious rock sugar pear, and slightly dreamy five-color glass jelly! Welcome to the store to taste new products!"
"Only one hundred copies are sold every day, first come first served!"
Women's College.
The goose-yellow girl sighed, "Shu'er, have you heard? Shanmian Drink has a new product, I really want to eat it, but I'm afraid there won't be any after school!"
Shu'er whispered, "You can tell me what you want to eat, does my mother know the shopkeeper?"
Obviously these words were very quiet, but they quickly spread to the whole room.
Even the female master knocking on the table with a ruler with a cold face couldn't suppress the whispering of these "little sparrows".
After entering the hall, I heard the female master say coldly, "Li Shu'er stay here!"
Shu'er shrank her neck, woo, and looked at the girl in light yellow clothes as if asking for help, but no good sister dared to stay and rescue her in the face of the cold pressure released by the female master.
After everyone had left, Shu'er nervously walked to the female master's table and stood still.
The female master had no expression on her face, "You recite the eighth chapter of "Nv Poetry" once."
After Shu'er finished reciting it fluently, she thought that the female master was going to punish her, so she heard the female master sigh, "I remember you are about to grow up, and you will get married in less than a year. With your talent and family background, even if you marry, you must go As the mistress of a rich family, master hopes that you can be more calm."
Shu'er responded blankly.
After a few more earnest instructions from the female master, she hesitated, cleared her throat, and said, "I heard that your mother knows the shopkeeper of Shanmian Drink?"
Shu'er, who was still very touched just now, was full of doubts, "Huh?"
When Shu'er came out of the school, a group of little sisters asked her if she had been beaten or scolded.
Shu'er remembered the female master's exhortation again, and couldn't help laughing, "It's nothing, it's nothing, the master just told me a few words."
Several people breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."
"By the way, Shu'er, your mother knows the shopkeeper of Shanmian Beverage? Can you leave me a copy of five-color glass?"
The so-called five-color glass is five colors of jelly mixed together. The juice has a mellow rice wine flavor. The thick dark blue in the jelly is mostly crystal clear, like a distant starry sky, with a whisper-like mystery.
Shu'er knocked her on the head, "Change one, change another, it smells like alcohol, and children are not allowed to drink alcohol." She took her good sister's arm and said with a smile, "Let's each have a little cheese, I want Shih Tzu, what do you want?"
"Then I want Mrs. Zhen!"
"it is good!"
In the Spring Red Courtyard.
Miss Danxin was lying sleepy on the recliner, and the little girl beside her was flattering while shaking her fan, "Girl, please eat something, Mr. Lin must have been delayed by something, so he didn't come to see you."
Dan Xinjiao's lips trembled, and two lines of tears also fell down, covering her face and crying, "I won't eat, I'll starve to death, just as you wish!"
"Chou Chou, Chou Chou, what are you talking about!"
As soon as the voice came out, the little girl was surprised and said, "Mr. Lin! You are here!"
Mr. Lin looked like a jade tree facing the wind, and he had a good-looking talent. He waved at the servant behind him, and the servant hurriedly put the things in the food box on the table one by one.
The little girl's eyes were very sharp, and she recognized at a glance that the thing on the wooden plate was really the popular mountain cotton drink sold recently!
Mr. Lin took advantage of the opportunity to embrace the beauty's thin shoulders, and wiped away the tears for Danxin pitifully, "Oh, don't cry, I recently helped my county lord and brother-in-law with something, so I didn't take the time to see you, look, I'll give you What good things did you bring?" He took out a warm jade-colored bracelet from his cuff like a magic trick and put it on Dan Xin's wrist.
"Look, it's really a beautiful woman with beautiful jade."
Dan Xin was still crying just now, so she looked at the extremely precious jade bracelet with joy in her eyes, broke through her tears and said with a smile, "It's so beautiful."
"I heard that you have a bad appetite, so I asked my servants to go to Shanmian Drinks to order new products for you."
The servant at the side was winking, and hurriedly said with a shy face, "Miss Danxin, you don't know, this mountain cotton drink has a rule of only selling [-] copies a day when it comes out of a new product, but our Young Master Lin took a lot of effort to let that Shanmian Drink is an exception and has made a new set for you."
Dan Xin's eyes lit up when he heard it, "Really?"
You must know that Chunhongyuan does business with the mountain cotton drink, and the mountain cotton drink is not willing to make an exception for them. If they don't give away new products, they will still send old drinks as usual.
Moreover, there are many people who order in advance every day, and most people can't taste the taste of new products at all.
This new product has only been released for two days, so she can taste it?The oiran of Chunhongyuan showed that she had tasted the five-color glaze that day, but she was very envious of all the sisters.
Seeing her like this, Young Master Lin knew she was ready to be coaxed, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and hurriedly greeted, "Ah Chun, put it on Miss Dan Xin."
Shanmian Beverage released a total of four new products, and the more she looked at it, the happier she became.
The first thing to eat is the five-color colored glaze.
I took a spoonful of dark blue jelly and put it into my mouth. The mellow rice wine aroma exploded in my mouth. After chewing, I could taste a strange sweet and sour taste, not like grapes, nor like ordinary fruit sour. The taste is light and fragrant, and after a few bites, the tip of the tongue seems to be sour.
Dan Xin nestled in Young Master Lin's arms, and asked delicately, "What kind of fruit is this made of?"
Young Master Lin looked at it and said, "I heard it's a kind of mountain fruit, but the people in that shop call it a berry."
Dan Xin smiled and said, "It's delicious."
County Yali.
Master Song heard Master Song clearing his throat again, and said, "My lord, drink some water and rest, this case file can't be read in a day."
Master Song sighed, and there was joy and worry in this sigh, "I heard what the teacher said, this matter is likely to be completed, and we will be leaving in the spring of next year. I just feel uncomfortable with these files."
The master said, "Then you have to pay attention to rest, how about going out for a walk?"
Master Song put down the file and rubbed his sore forehead, "It's like a stove outside, and you'll be sweating if you walk around it."
The master smiled and said, "That mountain cotton drink is quite close to us, my lord, go and have a look? I heard that the shop is very elegantly decorated, and within a month it will be a very popular shop in Shun'an Town."
"Shanmian?" Lord Song took the time to open his eyes, "Could it be that Qiao Fulang?"
The master said, "Exactly."
Master Song thought for a moment, got up and said, "Let's go and have a look!"
Master Song and Master were also shocked by this fiery scene when they went to Shanmian for drinks.
The two couldn't squeeze in at all. A woman thought that the two of them were going to jump in line, so she hurried forward and glared at them, "Jump in line?"
The people next to her hurriedly pulled her, saying, looking like a small person made her restrain her temper.
Who knew that the woman said with a cold face, "Even if the magistrate of the county comes, I'm not afraid. The shopkeeper Qiao of Shanmian Drink said that all customers are equal, and even the king of heaven has to wait in line!"
The master and the magistrate "...
The master whispered, "My lord, I'll go in and inform Shopkeeper Qiao."
The county magistrate looked around the shop, shook his head and said, "Let's go around and enter from the backyard of this shop."
The master said hello.
It was said that Qiao Mian and the others were working in the kitchen when they heard a knock on the back door.
Qiao Mian thought it was the icing deliverer, and shouted, "Sister Mei, go and open the back door!"
Sister Mei hugged the rice dumpling in her arms and said hey, she was startled as soon as she opened the door with a smile.
This, this is obviously not for icing!
The master said, "Little girl, do you dare to ask Qiao Mian if Qiao Fulang is there?"
Sister Mei met more people these days than she used to know, so she didn't feel so embarrassed when she spoke, she just whispered, "Yes, yes."
Qiao Mian came out while wiping her hands, without looking at anyone, she just asked, "How much are these frostings?"
Master Song smiled and said, "Qiao Fulang's business is really booming."
Qiao Mian was taken aback, and when he saw Master Song in front of him, he hurriedly bowed, "Caomin has seen you before."
"Don't stick to these etiquettes." Master Song smiled kindly. "I heard that your shop is booming, and I'm here to cheer you on."
Qiao Mian hurriedly greeted the county magistrate and master to sit on the stone bench in the yard, and then gave a few words to Sister Mei who was beside her.
The three of them chatted about the shop, and after a while, sister Mei brought some cold drinks.
Qiao Mian put the bowl of rock sugar pear jelly in front of Mr. Song, "My lord's voice is a little hoarse, Cao Min dared to prepare a bowl of rock sugar pear for him. This pear can clear away heat and reduce phlegm, moisten the lungs and relieve cough."
He also placed a stack of bitter gourds in front of the master, "This cold melon was bought from Sha Village, it is very sweet and thirst-quenching, I hope the master will not like it."
The rock sugar pear jelly, the soft pear flesh is wrapped in light yellow jelly into small pear-shaped balls, soaked in the sweet pear soup, looking crystal clear, like a rare coral in the water.The Pitteng watermelon, on the other hand, really looks like a cut watermelon. The bottom layer of rich tree green jelly is followed by soft white jelly, and the top is clear watermelon red jelly. .
When the two of them finished eating, they looked at each other at the same time, no wonder they are so popular, this Qiao Fulang really has two brushes!
"Good, good." Master Song praised after eating, "This cold drink does not lose the fragrance of pears, and it is made into this frozen shape, and the taste is even more wonderful!"
"I've heard from my children that this goat cotton drink cold drink jelly is a must, and I've always wanted to try it." The master smiled and said, "Thanks to the shopkeeper Qiao for opening the back door for us, otherwise I would have to wait in line. sunset."
Qiao Mian sighed, "Where is the master, next time you want to eat, let us know in advance, and we can make it for you in advance."
The master stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Then I would like to thank Shopkeeper Qiao for being here. Whoever let the family have a gluttonous daughter who wants to eat well."
Just as Mr. Song was about to say something, he heard bursts of familiar laughter coming from ahead.
Looking at the intimate action again, it was Song Boze and Tang Qing who were joking.
Master Song's complexion suddenly darkened.
Qiao Mian saw it in his eyes, and he was also sweating for Song Boze and Tang Qing, the little mandarin ducks!
On the other hand, Song Boze and Tang Qing stood there in shock.
Master Song finished the pear in the cup, said a few words to Qiao Mian, and was about to leave. Before leaving, he glanced lightly at Song Boze, who was like a pillar.
Seeing this, Song Boze could only grit his teeth and follow.
Qiao Mian looked at Tang Qing, only to see that Tang Qing's eyes turned red instantly.
Song Boze followed Mr. Song back home, and before he could say anything, he saw a slap in the face.
Song Boze staggered and quickly knelt down, "Father!"
Mr. Song said angrily, "What did I say, telling you not to have any more contact with that brother, do you take my words as a deaf ear?"
Song Boze's face was ashen, but the light in his eyes was very bright, "Father, didn't you teach me when I was a child that I should be elegant and upright, that I should be free and easy, and that I shouldn't be a celebrity. Why are you marrying my child now?" This matter is used as a bargaining chip!"
Mr. Song paused in his eyes, waved his sleeves again, and said in a deep voice, "The present is not the same as in the past! The order to be a father will come down soon. You are the son of Mr. Fucheng. Of course, your marriage cannot be decided by yourself!"
"What if I refuse!" Song Boze's eyes brightened like wolves, "I refuse!"
"I can't help you!"
Song Boze stood up and wanted to leave, but he heard Mr. Song's strange and cold tone, which was not at all like the father who told him when he was a child that he could be free.
Master Song said lightly, "If you dare to take a step, there will be no mountain cotton drinks tomorrow."
"Father!" Song Boze yelled angrily, clenching his fists tightly, "Aren't you a good official admired by everyone! How can you threaten me with this matter! Do you know that your light words are very important to the people of Shanmian Drinks?" What are you talking about? You can't be ungrateful, if it wasn't for Qiao Mian, how do you think Mr. Zhang would notice you! Father, you are killing a donkey!"
Master Song said coldly, "Come here! The young master is sick! Shut the young master back into the room, and from now on he is not allowed to go out without my permission!"
A group of servants bowed their heads and said, "Yes!"
So Song Boze went on a hunger strike from the first day he was locked up.
In this way, even Mrs. Song, who had been eating fast and praying to Buddha, was alarmed.
When he arrived at the place where Song Boze was locked up, he was so angry that tears were about to fall.
When Song Boze, who was dying, saw Mrs. Song, he suddenly recovered, hugged Mrs. Song's waist and cried, begging her to let him out.
Mrs. Song recited Amitabha and said, "Ze'er, be good and listen to your father!"
"I don't!" Song Boze's tormented eyes these days are sunken, and his whole body is unshaven. "I just said that I like Tang Qing, and I want to marry him! It's my father who doesn't keep his word. Marriage matters are in my hands, why has he changed now!"
Mrs. Song sighed, "When your father married me, he also said that he would only marry me. But later he married two concubines for some reason. He also said that he would not marry your sister far away. But I still marry your sister so far away, I don't even know how my child is doing. Ze'er, think about it carefully."
"Mother is not your father's lobbyist. I just heard that Tang Qing and the shopkeeper Qiao of Shanmian Beverage are close friends. It is said that Qiao Fulang is also a poor man. Without a husband, he will drag a child. If your father doesn't want him He can't open a shop in Shun'an Town. And mother, your sister is married away, and mother is only you. If you insist on being with that Tang Qing, have you ever thought about what will happen to mother?"
"Zer, think about it carefully."
Song Boze staggered to his knees, covered his face and cried in a low voice.
Tang Qing fell ill.
Since the day Song Boze disappeared, Tang Qing has been working hard. Sometimes Qiao Mian couldn't bear to see him and wanted him to take a rest, but who knew that this silly boy didn't listen at all, until the day before that he had to accompany Dajun to the Spring Festival. The Red Court delivered the goods, and then suffered from heatstroke.
Young Master Song from Yuqiao Si also often came to Qiao Mian's shop these days, seeing that he was really too busy, so he lent Qiao Mian a few capable men from Yuqiao Si for emergency.
Those clerks were all the clerks who signed the contract of sale in Yuqiao [-], and they didn't sloppy in their work at all, which could be regarded as a great help to Qiao Mian.
No matter how busy Qiao Mian is these days, he has to go back to Yaoshui Village to add fresh food to Baihu's rice bowl, but every time he throws away the untouched food and replaces it with new ones.
Gradually, a second image appeared in his mind, that is, the white tiger returned to the forest, maybe he found his parents?After all, it's just a fluffy little cub with pink paw pads.
He tidied up and brought it to Tang Qing
