a month later.

When Qiao Mian came back from Zhuangzhai Yaxing, it was at the peak of the store's customer flow.

Sister Mei, who was standing at the counter collecting money, saw him and called him out of her busy schedule, "Qiao Fulang, you are back."

After Tang Qing came back from illness, he seemed to be a different person. The previous Tang Qing who always had dimples on his face disappeared without a trace. Because he was depressed and miscalculated many times, he was even more annoyed, so he took the initiative to talk to Qiao Mian said that he wanted to go to the backyard to help first.

Qiao Mian felt distressed seeing him like this, so she readily agreed.

So sister Mei was briefly trained by Qiao Mian for a few days, and driving ducks to the shelves became their new plan for Shanmian drinks.

As for sister Mei, although she is usually taciturn and shy, she has a very sharp mind. Within a few days, she will become more and more proficient at doing it, and the abacus will crackle, and no one, no matter how cunning, can take advantage of her. .

The shop recruited two new contract workers, plus Brother Nan and Da Jun, a total of four, which was just enough.

When they saw him one by one, they hurriedly greeted him, "Hello, Shopkeeper Qiao."

Qiao Mian returned to them with a smile, walked into the backyard quickly, and saw Aunt Li and Tang Qing were busy making drinks, and Zong Zong was lying on the rocking chair while eating cheese sticks while flipping through the booklet, and from time to time said solemnly, The little head nodded heavily.

Seeing that it was interesting, Qiao Mian walked over to take a look, and saw that there was a picture book spread out.

Zong Zong was fascinated by it, not knowing that Qiao Mian was right behind him, but suddenly that white and fat bun's little fist violently hit the booklet, and muttered angrily, "No, you are not allowed to hit tigers!"

"Hoji, I'll bite you!"

"Smelly!"

Qiao Mian's forehead twitched when he heard it, and he quickly took a closer look, and found a famous picture of a hero fighting a tiger painted on it.

"Why did you lose your temper, Zong Zong?"

Zongzong turned around sharply when he heard the sound, and ran towards him as if he had found his backbone. Qiao Mian was afraid that he would throw himself recklessly, so he quickly hugged the fat cub in his arms, and asked him again, why? Lost your temper?

Zong Zong was so angry that his eye circles were red, and he hugged Qiao Mian's neck tightly with his small arms, complaining in a childish voice, "That man beat tigers and tigers, and he still drew them."

"You can't beat a tiger, and rice dumpling is also like a tiger."

Qiao Mian patted him on the shoulder. He didn't care about these childish words at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "You are a baby, how could you be a tiger? Do you miss the little white tiger?"

Zong Zong's eyes are wide open, his little face is flushed with anxiety, he has long forgotten the instructions of the big white tiger when he was in animal form, he patted his chest and said eagerly, "Dad, dad, I am like a tiger, I am like a baby Huhu."

Qiao Mian felt it was even more funny, went up to bite his peach-like face, and said, "Look at you, you are hairless and delicious, you are a baby. If you are a tiger, you are not Daddy's baby. Daddy is People can only have human babies."

"I look like Daddy's baby! I look like me!" Zongzong gesticulated with both hands, sweating from the tip of his little nose, "Daddy is like a tiger, and Daddy is also like a tiger."

This time, he said all that Baihu ordered, but in Qiao Mian's ears, these words were just childish words on a whim, and he didn't care at all, let alone think of anything else.

Seeing that the little chubby was about to cry, Qiao Mian stopped teasing him. He hugged the child for a while, tapped the child's forehead with jade-white fingertips, and smiled gently, "Okay, you are a tiger, daddy." It’s also a tiger, our whole family is a little tiger.” Then he threw the album aside, “The one who beats the tiger is our family’s enemy, don’t read this album.”

Zong Zong hummed contentedly, pampered Qiao Mian for a while, and then obediently put his head in Qiao Mian's neck, yawning, his voice was as soft as a sticky bean bag, "Daddy, Bao'er is sleepy."

Qiao Mian kissed his forehead, "Then go to sleep, and when you get up at noon, Daddy will make you beef patties."

After coaxing the zongzi to sleep, I put them in the house and then went to the kitchen.

The two people who were working in the kitchen had heard that he had come back a long time ago, but they had too much work to ask him how things were going. Now that they had just finished a long order, the two of them could take a breather effort.

Tang Qing is still the same old, silent when working, and rarely talks to people in his spare time, and occasionally smirks when he is mentioned, his eyes always have a strong blue color, like a puppet that has lost its vitality.

I usually see him laughing and laughing, and I find Song Boze disliked everywhere, deliberately gossiping about others behind his back, but Song Boze is always accommodating him.This always makes people feel that Tang Qing's feelings for Song Boze are not that deep, but now it seems that Tang Qing's cherishment of this feeling is no less than Song Boze's.

Aunt Li took a sip of water from her cup and asked, "We have settled all the money in the shop this month, so they didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

Tang Qing also looked at Qiao Mian.

Qiao Mian laughed and said, "Why would it make things difficult for me if I could collect the money earlier?"

In the past month, after buying seasonal fruits and ordering a large number of cups and plates, the average daily net income of Shanmian Drinks is 30 taels. People from the town also came here admiringly, and now not only Chunhongyuan orders things with his shop, but even Yuchunlou, the largest restaurant in the town, comes to order every day, which shows how hot the business is.

So after earning money, the first thing Qiao Mian did was to pay back the money to buy the shop, otherwise he would feel uneasy living in this house.

A few people sat down to talk about the future development of the shop while they were free. Aunt Li, an old person like this, is planning for a rainy day. She said sadly, "In two or three months, the weather will be cold. I don't know what will happen to our shop. What about it?"

Qiao Mian was silent for a while.

Tang Qing spoke from the side, his voice was a little hoarse, "It's really not good, let's continue to sell platters in winter? At that time, we made a lot of money by making platters, but it didn't catch up with the good season."

Qiao Mian shook her head, "No, the sign in our shop is for drinks, and it's outrageous to sell platters."

"I had a plan in mind a long time ago. Don't worry, you two, even if it's winter, the signboard of our mountain cotton drink will not be smashed." Qiao Mian remembered something again, and took out two purses from his cuffs and handed them to the two of them. "Come on, this is what I prepared for you a long time ago."

As soon as the two reached out and touched it, they were shocked by the heavy purse.

Seeing that the two of them were about to resign, Qiao Mian reached out and patted the two of them on the shoulders and said, "Hurry up and put it away, the business of our shop has been so good in the past month, it cannot be separated from the hard work of the big guys, besides, this is not just for you guys." Tang Qing, you have Uncle Tang, and Aunt Li, you also have half of Sister Mei.”

Aunt Li said, "Didn't you say that you wanted to open another shop? You spent all your money, what will you do if you open a shop in the future?" As she spoke, she wanted to stuff her purse into Qiao Mian's cuff, "Sister Mei and I I eat and drink your food every day, so I don't need the money at all, so take it back quickly."

Upon hearing this, Tang Qing wanted to give Qiao Mian the money.

Just as Qiao Mian was about to convince the two that he had enough money for the shop, he heard Dajun's impatient voice behind him, "Master Qiao, that Mr. Lin is here again!"

It doesn't look good if outsiders show up and talk about it, so Aunt Li had no choice but to accept the purse.

As soon as Tang Qing heard that Lin's face darkened, he lowered his head again.

Seeing him like this, Qiao Mian was even more angry with Mr. Lin, turned around and frowned, "Why is that Lin Zhongxin here again?"

Half a month ago, that Lin Zhongxin came uninvited and claimed to be Song Boze's little uncle. His purpose of coming this time was to get Tang Qing to write a heartless letter to Song Boze, so that Song Boze could give up completely.

Moreover, several servants with low eyebrows and obedient eyes were holding a box of white silver in their hands.

At that time, Tang Qing's mood and health were better, and he was persuaded by Qiao Mian to come back to the shop and do something, saving him from being bored at home every day. How could he want to be humiliated by Lin Zhongxin like this on the first day back.

Angry, Qiao Mian, who had always been reluctant to make enemies with others, lost his temper and kicked out the county magistrate's brother-in-law.

But I don't know what kind of madness this Lin Zhongxin is smoking. From that day on, he comes to Shanmian for drinks every day, and wants to see Qiao Mian by name.

At first, Qiao Mian went out to ask him what was going on, but seeing the man's more explicit eyes day by day, Qiao Mian gradually figured out something, so when he heard that Lin Zhongxin had come, he felt a little disgusted.

Dajun first handed the menu note to Aunt Li, and then wiped off his sweat, "Yes, I came early in the morning and said that I wanted to see you, the shopkeeper. Sister Mei said that you would not come back after going out for business, so he just sat there. Waiting all the time, and one person occupied the entire long table!"

Their shop is small, and the long table was originally designed for four or five seats, so it is not a problem to be occupied by one person.

Qiao Mian frowned and said, "I'll go and have a look."

The army also hurried out.

As soon as Qiao Mian arrived at the store, she saw a person sitting at the long table by the window, and a few servants standing behind her. The tables next to her were full, and there were still people queuing outside under the sun.

As soon as Qiao Mian walked over, he saw Lin Zhongxin turned his head. This man had a handsome face, and while shaking the folding fan in his hand, he smiled at Qiao Mian, "It's really hard to see the shopkeeper Qiao."

Qiao Mian didn't get too close to him, and said expressionlessly, "I don't know why Mr. Lin wants to see me over and over again."

Lin Zhongxin straightened up and knocked on his hands with the closed fan. "Lin just wants to make friends with Shopkeeper Qiao. I heard that Shopkeeper Qiao is looking for a shop again recently? There is a free shop near Yuchun Building. Shopkeeper Qiao If you don’t dislike it, you can bring your buddies to move in and buy things now.”

Qiao Mian said softly, "No need."

Lin Zhongxin didn't say that the servant next to him barked for his master, "You don't know what's good if you're surnamed Qiao!"

Lin Zhongxin pretended to tap the boy's shoulder with his fan, and heyed in disapproval. His gaze looked tender, but Qiao Mian was very much like the gloomy and greedy viper when it was looking for its prey.

"Shopkeeper Qiao." He smiled. "Lin really wants to make friends with you. Since you don't need it, I can't force it."

He looked at the young man behind him again, and saw that the young man with eyes on top of his head took out an invitation card.

Lin Zhongxin said lightly, "The sea of ​​flowers in Huangshan Mountain is in full bloom. In the future, Madam Song will invite young ladies and brothers from the Zhu family to enjoy the flowers. I wonder if shopkeeper Qiao is interested?"

Qiao Mian blurted out, "Not interested."

Lin Zhongxin rubbed his fan and looked at him playfully, "It's fine if you don't go, it's better to say that Mrs. Song is looking for a concubine for her son, and since she has a sweetheart, she doesn't want to join in the fun gone."

Qiao Mian's eyes froze, "Madam Song wants to see a woman for Song Boze?"

Lin Zhongxin shook his fan, smiled lightly and said nothing.

Qiao Mian said coldly, "Mr. Lin, what exactly do you want to do?"

The man stepped forward and pressed his head to Qiao Mian ambiguously. Qiao Mian dodged impatiently, but was knocked on the shoulder by the folding fan.

"Shopkeeper Qiao, Lin just wants to make friends with you." He whispered again, "Bo Ze has been on a hunger strike for many days at home, and now he is emaciated. As an uncle, I feel very distressed, and I want to help him and that friend." The son surnamed Tang is just a thread, but it would be great if Qiao Fulang could do him the favor."

Qiao Mian's usually cold and beautiful face was stained with anger, and he gritted his teeth and choked out a few words, "Mr. Lin, you don't know that I have a husband and a son!"

Lin Zhongxin snorted and said to the boy behind him, "Throw away the invitation, it seems that the shopkeeper Qiao really has no intention of enjoying the flowers."

Seeing that the group was about to leave the house, Qiao Mian, who had stood there for a long time, suddenly said in a deep voice, "Wait!"

in the carriage

The servant followed Lin Zhongxin to fan the wind, and said dog-leggedly, "Master, Miss Danxin said that she misses you."

Lin Zhongxin rubbed the handle of the fan, and said expressionlessly, "Send me away."

The boy was taken aback and didn't dare to speak anymore.

After a while, I heard Lin Zhongxin say again, "Later, you can go to Yuqiao to pick out a red gauze skirt."

The boy was taken aback for a moment, but obediently agreed.

As soon as Lin Zhongxin thought of that cold man going to put on that dress, his blood surged up, and a sinister smile rolled in his eyes.
