I opened a mother and baby supermarket in ancient times to raise cubs
Chapter 53 Jujube!
When the first snow fell in Shun An, the mountain cotton beverage business became more and more bleak.
Qiao Mian's family of four has now moved to a new house in the town. Originally, she wanted Aunt Li and Sister Mei to live together, but Aunt Li refused to say anything, saying that she couldn't let go of the old house. I'm used to the town, but I still can't let go of Uncle Li who passed away.
Qiao Mian gritted his teeth and spent all the money he had earned in the past two months before he settled for a secondary courtyard near Shanmian Drinks.
The yard is an old house and the surrounding area is somewhat dilapidated, but fortunately, it is quite wide. The crescent arch connects the two yards. There is a long marble pavilion in the front yard that Qiao Mian likes very much. There is also an open space in the back yard, just waiting for the spring to plant immortals. Grass.
Qiao Xing was a daughter's family, so Qiao Mian let her live in the backyard alone, while their family of three, all men, lived in the front yard.
After the two of them took a bath that night, Lie Shan first put the sleeping Zong Zong on the baby's bed beside him, and then wiped Qiao Mian's hair with a cloth. satin.
Seeing Qiao Mian's brows frowned slightly, and his movements became softer, he sighed softly, "Don't worry, if it doesn't work, use the money father gave you first."
Qiao Mian is actually not worried about money, the things he bought can last half a month with the remaining money in his hand, he is worried about whether to tell Lie Shan about the supermarket space on his wrist.
There is also a strange thing that has been pressing in his heart, that is, the imprint on his hand that leads to the supermarket space. At first, he tried to cover up his wrist with gauze, but later Tang Qing looked at him unclearly and said what it was Novelty dress up?
Qiao Mian suddenly realized that only he could see the mark on his wrist.
But about the space supermarket, the two of them get along day and night, but they can't hide it if they want to. He is afraid that Lie Shan will treat him as a different kind, or a monster!
Even if he had the memory of his previous life, he was a little afraid of this kind of adventure at the beginning, let alone a real ancient like Lie Shan?
It seems that we still have to keep hiding it, but the things taken out of the space can hide it from Aunt Li and the others, how can it hide it from him, the person next to the pillow?
Hey, what a headache.
How did Lie Shan know that his husband was entangled in this secret that he had discovered a long time ago and was not surprised even when he discovered it. He still thought to himself that his husband was tenacious and principled, and he would never waste money or food.
So he gently put his arms around Qiao Mian's shoulders and said, "Leave the money to me. I see that your appetite has not been very good these few days. Why don't you close the shop for a few days and take a rest?"
"It's okay." Qiao Mian shook her head, thinking that she should tell Lie Shan when she finds a suitable opportunity, there should be no secrets between them, "I've already thought about what the shop will sell next, so there's no need to close the shop." , when the snow stops, we can officially open, and I'm not worried about the money, the money in our hands is enough, and we don't need to use the money that father gave us."
Lie Shan couldn't see his husband's appearance of suppressing his melancholy, so his desire to make money to support the family became more and more urgent. Because of his father's status, he might have a place in the court when he returned to the capital, but what did he do in Shun'an Town? No, he still uses his father's power to deal with Mr. Zhang, he has to find a way to give Fu Lang a sense of security, instead of using these unreasonable names, and he can no longer make Fu Lang work so hard for this family.
When the two of them turned off the lights to rest, Lie Shan wanted to be considerate to his husband, but his hands were skillful and dishonest, as long as he hugged the fragrant and soft husband, all his self-control that he was proud of would be turned into powder, just He wanted to move further, but was held down by his husband who had always been used to him. Qiao Mian just touched the pillow recently, and his voice was soft, "Don't make trouble, I don't want to tonight."
Lie Shan was not willing to embarrass Qiao Mian, he gently hugged the little cotton ball in front of his strong chest, and said softly, "Okay, don't bother you, go to sleep."
Qiao Mian found a comfortable direction and nestled in Lie Shan's arms, and said vaguely, "I feel like I've gained weight recently."
Lie Shan chuckled, and said in a low voice, "Where are you getting fat, you are thinner than the bamboo outside the window."
Qiao Mian closed her eyes, and grinned angrily, "Jinghu is grinning."
Lie Shan hugged his husband's waist with a smile, and when he was about to close his eyes, there was a sudden pause, and Ah Mian seemed to have gained a little fat around his waist.
Those eyes in the darkness flashed red, could it be there? !
Soon Lie Shan calmed down again, no, he has only been back for half a month, how could he have it so soon?Besides, it is difficult for the elder brother to have an heir. At the beginning, Zong Zong only got married for more than a year.
Maybe it's just winter, and I have grown a little fat.
Early the next morning, when Qiao Mian woke up, he did not see Lie Shan and Zong Zong. He didn't know whether it was because he got up too late or suffered from a slight cold. Another layer of snow fell in the yard.
He yawned and went to the backyard, and saw Qiao Xing making a snowman with zongzi dressed like a bear.
The rice dumpling is covered with a red jacket, and on its head is a tiger-head hat made by Mrs. Li, but on its hands are two different cotton gloves.
At first glance, it was Lie Shan's handwriting.
Qiao Mian walked up to Zong Zong and Qiao Xing who were having fun, and first patted the snow on the shoulders of Qiao Xing who was also blushing, "How long have you two been playing, is it cold?"
Qiao Xing smiled and said, "It's not cold, the more you play, the hotter you get."
Qiao Mian smiled wryly again, "Zongzong, why are you wearing two different gloves? Where's your father?"
The dumpling-like rice dumpling used branches to make arms for the snowman, and took the time to smile at Qiao Mian and rolled his eyes, "Daddy is out, it's Daddy, the little gloves I found for Bao'er!"
Qiao Xing said, "Someone knocked on the door this morning. It sounded like a child. Then I watched my brother follow the child. He asked me to tell you that he went to Min'an Bridge."
Min'an Bridge?Could it be that something happened to those little beggars?
Qiao Mian frowned and said, "Xiao Xing, you play with rice dumplings at home, brother, go to Min'an Bridge to have a look."
Qiao Xing knew that her brother often helped the little beggars in Min'an Bridge, but didn't know the details. Seeing her brother frowning and thinking that something had happened, she couldn't help becoming nervous, "Okay, okay, bro, the snow is thick and the road is slippery outside, you have to be more careful." .”
Qiao Mian was persuaded by Qiao Xing to put on another blue cloak and was about to go out when she heard movement from the gate of the front yard.
"It should be the eldest brother, I will open the door!"
Qiao Xing ran to the door of the front yard and opened the latch, and saw Lie Shan holding a thin child who looked like a kitten in his arms, and behind him were two boys with red and swollen eyes.
"Brother, you're back!" Qiao Xing looked at the little beggars suspiciously, and asked in confusion, "This is?"
Lie Shan nodded at Qiao Xing, then patted a shorter boy on the shoulder, and said, "This is your little aunt."
Qiao Xing is actually only 16 years old this year, only four years older than the eldest Xiao Si, but since he and Qiao Mian intend to adopt these children, they can't be called Sister Qiao Xing.
The short boy, that is, Xiao Wu called people hoarsely, "Little aunt..."
Although Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, he quickly responded.
Lie Shan explained, "These children will live in our house from now on."
Qiao Xing saw that the shoes on these children's feet were still thin cloth shoes in the cold winter, and she felt very sad all of a sudden, as if she had suffered such a crime before. She understood Lie Shan's meaning in her heart, He said anxiously, "Then I'll go and clean up the children's house."
Good morning Lie Shan.
Lie Shan led the children into the hall, and Qiao Mian also entered the house holding the rice dumpling that wanted to roll in the snow.
Seeing the red and swollen eyes of several children, sobbing while wiping away tears, he had a bad guess in his mind, "Lie Shan, the grandpa of the children?"
Lie Shan sighed, "The old man was gone last night."
Qiao Mian said anxiously, "A few days ago, when we went to see the old man, his complexion improved. How could it be so sudden?"
Xiao Wu sobbed and said, "Yes, he was pissed off by Er Manzi."
Qiao Mian couldn't believe it, "What's going on!"
Xiao Wu cried and told the whole story.
The person who had the most trouble with Xiao Wu's family was a lame man who liked to gamble in the temple.
He had planned on Xiao Ba long ago, trying to steal Xiao Ba and sell him while the family was asleep at night, but he was discovered by the old man who never dared to sleep soundly, and finally the children had a hard time He also wounded the other leg of the Erleizi, and this beam has been formed ever since.
The night before the old man's accident was Xiao Qi's birthday, the old man had been thinking about the child who was working in Zhao's house and couldn't come back, so he asked Xiao Si and the others to buy some meat to make some dumplings for Xiao Qi.
When the family was making dumplings, Er Manzi came back and asked them to share his pot with a shy face.
The old man didn't want to get into trouble with others, so he could give him some food if he persuaded him with nice words, and the rest should be sent to Xiao Qi who worked in Zhao's house.
Unexpectedly, the two lame people immediately laughed and said, "Where did the Zhao family come from? That Xiaoqi has been dead for more than half a month. Is it possible to burn it for him? It's a waste of food! Why don't you give it to me?" , I call you Grandpa, can I be your grandson!"
As soon as these words came out, the old man's face turned pale, and the rolling pin in his hand dropped immediately.
Xiao Si and the others were terrified, and hurriedly supported Grandpa and said that Xiao Qi was not dead, Xiao Qi was not dead.
And that Er Manzi became more and more gloating, not only told about Xiao Qi's murder, but also added details about Xiao Qi's death.
The old man was in tears, holding Xiao Si's hand tightly, and asked him to find Xiao Qi back at the top of his voice!
The children were already in a mess, so they could only persuade their grandpa while crying.
The old man still didn't understand something, his face suddenly turned blue, he couldn't get up in one breath, and fell straight backwards.
When the old man died, his cloudy and aged eyes were still looking straight at the direction of the door.
It was waiting for his little grandson to bounce back.
Several children guarded the old man's body all night. When it was dawn, Xiao Si wiped away his tears and went to Lie Shan.
As soon as they met, he knelt down and kowtowed to Lie Shan, begging him to help bury the old man, he was willing to sign a contract of sale, and was willing to be a cow and a horse for their family for a lifetime.
Qiao Mian's eyes were filled with tears, and the dumpling in his arms saw his father crying, his eyes widened, and the chubby hand lightly patted Qiao Mian's face, saying, "Daddy don't cry, Bao'er, I'll pile it up for you." Let's play snowman."
Qiao Mian patted her silly son, then looked at Xiaoba in Lie Shan's arms, and Xiaosi and Xiaowu on the ground, and sighed, "We will take care of the funeral affairs of the old man. You can stay here. From now on, this will be your life." your home."
Qiao Mian is not a kind person who wants to adopt homeless children when he sees them. There are so many poor children in this world, how can he save them?
He feels guilty and pity for these children from the bottom of his heart.
After all, Xiao Qi was killed by Master Song to frame him and Lie Shan.
And with this layer of entanglement and entanglement, it is really impossible for him to watch these children fend for themselves.
Xiaosi frowned, choked with sobs and said, "I, I can sign a contract of sale, I, I don't know how to eat, I can work."
Xiao Wu also cried embarrassingly, "I'll sign it too, I'll sign it too, we won't eat too much."
Xiao Ba in Lie Shan's arms looked like a kitten soaked in the rain, trembling and sobbing, "I, I'm so good, I, I can work too."
Lie Shan and Qiao Mian looked at each other, and they both saw intolerance and helplessness in each other's eyes.
Qiao Mian patted Xiao Si on the shoulder, and said in a calm tone, "I've told you many times, my husband and I just feel sorry for you two. We don't want you to sign a contract of sale, and we didn't adopt you to let you Work. I just hope that one day you can learn some means of making a living and be able to stand on your own. This will be worthy of the grandfather who has worked so hard to bring you back. You can live at home and don’t think about giving us anything back every day. Then you will become talents Just come back and see us later.”
After listening to Qiao Mian's words, Xiaosi and Xiaowu felt complicated and excited, and were very grateful.
And become, become a talent?
Can these two dirty little beggars become talents?What kind of fantasy is this.
Xiao Si wiped away her tears and said sincerely, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Qiao, I, we understand."
Qiao Mian was also very happy to see that Xiaosi, the most stubborn of the children, had figured it out, and said with a smile, "This will be your home from now on, so you don't need to call me Shopkeeper Qiao."
Xiao Wu blinked and had swollen eyeballs, "What's that called?"
Qiao Mian glanced at Lie Shan, Lie Shan thought about it, and said in a deep voice, "Since you have become children of this family, you can call me both father if you want."
Although Qiao Mian was only ten years older than the oldest Xiao Si, as long as these children can grow up healthy and happy in this family, the rest is not important.
Both Xiaowu and Xiaosi were stunned. They had been wandering with groups of beggars for as long as they could remember, and they were picked up by their grandpa one after another before they formed a family.
Now not only do you have a family to avoid the suffering of being displaced, but now you have two fathers?
Qiao Mian thought that these children were embarrassed to speak up, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can call us whatever you want."
"No, no, we are willing." Xiao Wu ran to Qiao Mian's side, tentatively holding Qiao Mian's hanging hand, like a child who just learned to speak, with a hoarse and choked voice, "Daddy."
Qiao Mian raised her eyebrows and smiled, and patted his head, "Hey."
Dumpling watched in a daze as someone called Qiao Mian's father, and then looked at Xiao Ba in Lie Shan's arms. He suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and hugged Qiao Mian's neck tightly, as if he had been robbed of his most important thing. , crying loudly, "This is mine, my daddy, woo woo woo."
Xiao Wu's smile faltered, and he took a few steps back in a sensible way.
However, Qiao Mian pulled Xiao Wu back, patted Zong Zong's back with the other hand, and coaxed, "This is brothers, isn't Bao'er always playing by himself, it's very boring, so many brothers and you are here Play, aren't you happy?"
Zong Zong stopped crying when he heard Wan Wan, his nose was red from crying, and he choked while crying, "Then, then I'm still yours, baby?"
Qiao Mian nodded and kissed his peach-like little face, "Yes, you will always be my baby."
"Then, that candied haws, the last one left, who do you give it to?"
"Little watermelon tip, give me a bite?"
"Sleep, I'm still there, in the middle?"
The dignified atmosphere just now was suddenly broken by Zong Zong's words, Xiaosi and Xiaowu couldn't help laughing, this brother is really cute.
"Here you are, here you are." Qiao Mian fondled his face and said, "Go down and see the brothers."
Lie Shan also followed the trend and put Xiao Ba in his arms on the ground.
Zong Zong happened to see Xiao Ba's face, and was shocked for a moment. He didn't even look at Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, who had red noses, and ran to Xiao Ba, who looked like a kitten, on his short legs. "I'm Zong Zong, what's your name?"
Xiao Ba softly said, "I, I don't have a name, so my name is Xiao Ba."
"Then you, let's call you Zao Zao." Zong Zong said nonsense in a serious child's language, and he patted his small chest again, "I am Xiao Zongzi, you are so cute and sweet, it is Xiao Zongzi, we What a match."
Qiao Mian and Lie Shan "..."
Little Four and Little Five "..."
what happened?
Where did this kid learn these words?
Qiao Mian wanted to shake her son's shoulders violently, son, wake up, have you forgotten the little Mingming by the lake in Yaoshui Village?
But later Xiao Ba was still named Zao Zao.
At first, Qiao Mian wanted to read some books to give Xiao Ba a nice name, but he couldn't help but there was always a little bee buzzing in his ears, "Zao Zao, eat cake, Zao Zao, are you sleeping well?" , it doesn’t hurt until jujube whirring.”
The whole family who came and went to make troubles began to acquiesce that Xiao Ba was called Zao Zao.
Two days later, the heavy snow in Shun'an Town stopped.
Shanmian Beverage is finally reopening.
In the middle of the night, while the whole family was resting, Qiao Mian sneaked into the kitchen, bolted the door like a thief, and then let his consciousness enter the space.
Qiao Mian plans to make milk tea and fried chicken this winter.
I don't have to worry about milk. In those days, I stocked up a lot for cold drinks, but when the weather got cold, it was hard to buy cold drinks, so the milk was left over.
Now it can be used to make milk tea.
For tea, you can go to the tea shop to buy some black tea. As for the pearls in the milk tea, Qiao Mian plans to use glutinous rice to make them, or you can use white jelly to make some jelly and put them in.
As for the fried chicken, there is something special about it. Qiao Mian remembers that there is a children's Orleans fried chicken marinade in the supermarket, which has two flavors: honey sauce and sweet aroma.
Qiao Mian continued to search and found a bag of cassava flour specially for children to make fried food, and a set of three bottles of children's sauces, which were tomato sauce, salad dressing, and sweet and spicy sauce.
Although the sweet and spicy sauce is not too spicy, it is better than some green onions and dogwood that I eat now.
The former is basically difficult to soak in the flavor of the cooking, and the latter is always slightly bitter because it is a medicinal material. Since Qiao Mian recovered his memory, he can no longer eat this seasoning.
Now that the seasoning is ready and the chicken is left, he has already told Aunt Li about collecting the chicken, and they will probably bring it when they come tomorrow, which is not difficult.
Qiao Mian took twenty packs of the same seasoning and planned to go to the front desk. He thought that these seasonings would cost 100 taels of silver, but he didn't expect the space to be so dark.
Rows of gold characters appeared above the seasoning.
[A total of one hundred packs of seasoning, totaling 200 taels of silver. 】
200 two!
This is going to cost him all the money to buy chickens?
[Host don't hesitate, pay as soon as possible, is there any better snack than fried chicken with milk tea? 】
Gritting her teeth, Qiao Mian still handed over the money, reluctant to let the child not be caught by the wolf, anyway, it was not once or twice that the space pitted her.
It seems that after he paid the money, the lights in the space were abnormally bright, and a few lines of rainbow farts popped up.
[The weather will be fine and sunny in the next few days, but the temperature will be extremely low. At this time, it is a blessing to be able to drink mellow hot milk tea and eat crispy, sweet and spicy fried chicken. 】
[I wish the host business is booming and prosperous! 】
Qiao Mian broke up the fonts angrily, and picked out a few bags of sauce at random to leave the space.
Fearing that there would be too many people talking during the day, Qiao Mian endured the sleepiness and washed a few pot-bellied porcelain jars, and put the sauce in them. As for the packaging, he threw them into the stove and burned them.
When he returned to the room and went to bed on tiptoe, Lie Shan hugged him from behind, but was a little sober from the cold air on his body, and asked him in a hoarse voice, "Where did you go? It's so cold?"
Qiao Mian still felt sorry for the 100 taels of silver, so she nestled in Lie Shan's arms and said in a muffled voice, "Get up at night."
Only then did Lie Shan hum, and when he was drowsy after a while, he heard the person in his arms mutter softly, "100 taels, alive, the white 100 taels of silver is gone."
Lie Shan sighed in his heart, and hugged his husband even tighter.
Early the next morning, Aunt Li, mother and daughter and Tang Qing came with a cart of chickens.
Tang Qing patted the chicken coop, and said with a smile, "According to what you said, all the chickens are harvested, and they are very fresh and tender."
"That's good, let's go, Mrs. Tang Qing, I have figured out a new food, let's go and have a look together."
Both of them said hello.
As soon as Sister Mei saw Qiao Xing and the two little sisters, she quickly got together and chatted to share what flowers she embroidered recently. Xiaosi and Xiaowu played in the yard with rice dumplings and jujubes, and Lie Shan acted as The coolie is responsible for moving all the chickens to the chicken coop in the backyard.
Aunt Li and Tang Qing's admiration for Qiao Mian went up to a new level when they saw Qiao Mian's jars of sauce.
This smell makes people want to drool, it is so delicious!
Qiao Mian took out that set of excuses, saying that these sauces were all learned from that book, and it took several months to make them before they took shape.
Aunt Li and Tang Qing naturally believed him, after all, Qiao Mian did not surprise them once or twice.
Qiao Mian had already prepared the ingredients. He pointed to the marinated chicken pieces and said, "We have two jobs today, making fried chicken and milk tea for practice."
Aunt Li and Tang Qing both said hello.
Qiao Mian first showed them how to make milk tea. First, stir-fry the black tea with icing sugar. After the sugar is slightly discolored, pour in boiling water and milk until it boils.
Qiao Mian made a large piece of grape jelly with grape skin water and white jelly, cut it into small pieces and added it to the warmed milk tea.
After drinking a cup, Tang Qing exclaimed, "I've also tasted this tea and fresh milk, but it's really strange that these two things taste so good together. By the way, what's this called?"
Qiao Mian said, "This is called Portuguese pearl milk tea." He said again, "Do you understand what I made? Come and try it."
Tang Qing was eager to try and said, "Success, I'll try."
On the other side, Aunt Li had already soaked the marinated chicken pieces in a layer of egg liquid according to Qiao Mian's instructions, and finally kneaded them with tapioca flour.
Qiao Mian reminded Aunt Li to pay attention to the heat. In the beginning, she often fried it, but later on, Aunt Li became more proficient at frying. Gradually, the small pot next to it was filled with golden and crispy chicken pieces.
Seeing that their work was getting better and better, Qiao Mian thought for a while about how many children they had, and each of them had a bad stomach. When the time came, he ordered them not to eat too much fried chicken, but what if the children were greedy?
He thought for a while and took out a few taro from the kitchen cabinet, shaved them, and cut them into long strips, planning to make a snack that he had eaten before.
Anti sand taro.
The author has something to say:

Thanks to the little angel of the irrigation nutrient solution: oh my god 10 bottles; 259882633 bottles; DCM5201 bottles;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Qiao Mian's family of four has now moved to a new house in the town. Originally, she wanted Aunt Li and Sister Mei to live together, but Aunt Li refused to say anything, saying that she couldn't let go of the old house. I'm used to the town, but I still can't let go of Uncle Li who passed away.
Qiao Mian gritted his teeth and spent all the money he had earned in the past two months before he settled for a secondary courtyard near Shanmian Drinks.
The yard is an old house and the surrounding area is somewhat dilapidated, but fortunately, it is quite wide. The crescent arch connects the two yards. There is a long marble pavilion in the front yard that Qiao Mian likes very much. There is also an open space in the back yard, just waiting for the spring to plant immortals. Grass.
Qiao Xing was a daughter's family, so Qiao Mian let her live in the backyard alone, while their family of three, all men, lived in the front yard.
After the two of them took a bath that night, Lie Shan first put the sleeping Zong Zong on the baby's bed beside him, and then wiped Qiao Mian's hair with a cloth. satin.
Seeing Qiao Mian's brows frowned slightly, and his movements became softer, he sighed softly, "Don't worry, if it doesn't work, use the money father gave you first."
Qiao Mian is actually not worried about money, the things he bought can last half a month with the remaining money in his hand, he is worried about whether to tell Lie Shan about the supermarket space on his wrist.
There is also a strange thing that has been pressing in his heart, that is, the imprint on his hand that leads to the supermarket space. At first, he tried to cover up his wrist with gauze, but later Tang Qing looked at him unclearly and said what it was Novelty dress up?
Qiao Mian suddenly realized that only he could see the mark on his wrist.
But about the space supermarket, the two of them get along day and night, but they can't hide it if they want to. He is afraid that Lie Shan will treat him as a different kind, or a monster!
Even if he had the memory of his previous life, he was a little afraid of this kind of adventure at the beginning, let alone a real ancient like Lie Shan?
It seems that we still have to keep hiding it, but the things taken out of the space can hide it from Aunt Li and the others, how can it hide it from him, the person next to the pillow?
Hey, what a headache.
How did Lie Shan know that his husband was entangled in this secret that he had discovered a long time ago and was not surprised even when he discovered it. He still thought to himself that his husband was tenacious and principled, and he would never waste money or food.
So he gently put his arms around Qiao Mian's shoulders and said, "Leave the money to me. I see that your appetite has not been very good these few days. Why don't you close the shop for a few days and take a rest?"
"It's okay." Qiao Mian shook her head, thinking that she should tell Lie Shan when she finds a suitable opportunity, there should be no secrets between them, "I've already thought about what the shop will sell next, so there's no need to close the shop." , when the snow stops, we can officially open, and I'm not worried about the money, the money in our hands is enough, and we don't need to use the money that father gave us."
Lie Shan couldn't see his husband's appearance of suppressing his melancholy, so his desire to make money to support the family became more and more urgent. Because of his father's status, he might have a place in the court when he returned to the capital, but what did he do in Shun'an Town? No, he still uses his father's power to deal with Mr. Zhang, he has to find a way to give Fu Lang a sense of security, instead of using these unreasonable names, and he can no longer make Fu Lang work so hard for this family.
When the two of them turned off the lights to rest, Lie Shan wanted to be considerate to his husband, but his hands were skillful and dishonest, as long as he hugged the fragrant and soft husband, all his self-control that he was proud of would be turned into powder, just He wanted to move further, but was held down by his husband who had always been used to him. Qiao Mian just touched the pillow recently, and his voice was soft, "Don't make trouble, I don't want to tonight."
Lie Shan was not willing to embarrass Qiao Mian, he gently hugged the little cotton ball in front of his strong chest, and said softly, "Okay, don't bother you, go to sleep."
Qiao Mian found a comfortable direction and nestled in Lie Shan's arms, and said vaguely, "I feel like I've gained weight recently."
Lie Shan chuckled, and said in a low voice, "Where are you getting fat, you are thinner than the bamboo outside the window."
Qiao Mian closed her eyes, and grinned angrily, "Jinghu is grinning."
Lie Shan hugged his husband's waist with a smile, and when he was about to close his eyes, there was a sudden pause, and Ah Mian seemed to have gained a little fat around his waist.
Those eyes in the darkness flashed red, could it be there? !
Soon Lie Shan calmed down again, no, he has only been back for half a month, how could he have it so soon?Besides, it is difficult for the elder brother to have an heir. At the beginning, Zong Zong only got married for more than a year.
Maybe it's just winter, and I have grown a little fat.
Early the next morning, when Qiao Mian woke up, he did not see Lie Shan and Zong Zong. He didn't know whether it was because he got up too late or suffered from a slight cold. Another layer of snow fell in the yard.
He yawned and went to the backyard, and saw Qiao Xing making a snowman with zongzi dressed like a bear.
The rice dumpling is covered with a red jacket, and on its head is a tiger-head hat made by Mrs. Li, but on its hands are two different cotton gloves.
At first glance, it was Lie Shan's handwriting.
Qiao Mian walked up to Zong Zong and Qiao Xing who were having fun, and first patted the snow on the shoulders of Qiao Xing who was also blushing, "How long have you two been playing, is it cold?"
Qiao Xing smiled and said, "It's not cold, the more you play, the hotter you get."
Qiao Mian smiled wryly again, "Zongzong, why are you wearing two different gloves? Where's your father?"
The dumpling-like rice dumpling used branches to make arms for the snowman, and took the time to smile at Qiao Mian and rolled his eyes, "Daddy is out, it's Daddy, the little gloves I found for Bao'er!"
Qiao Xing said, "Someone knocked on the door this morning. It sounded like a child. Then I watched my brother follow the child. He asked me to tell you that he went to Min'an Bridge."
Min'an Bridge?Could it be that something happened to those little beggars?
Qiao Mian frowned and said, "Xiao Xing, you play with rice dumplings at home, brother, go to Min'an Bridge to have a look."
Qiao Xing knew that her brother often helped the little beggars in Min'an Bridge, but didn't know the details. Seeing her brother frowning and thinking that something had happened, she couldn't help becoming nervous, "Okay, okay, bro, the snow is thick and the road is slippery outside, you have to be more careful." .”
Qiao Mian was persuaded by Qiao Xing to put on another blue cloak and was about to go out when she heard movement from the gate of the front yard.
"It should be the eldest brother, I will open the door!"
Qiao Xing ran to the door of the front yard and opened the latch, and saw Lie Shan holding a thin child who looked like a kitten in his arms, and behind him were two boys with red and swollen eyes.
"Brother, you're back!" Qiao Xing looked at the little beggars suspiciously, and asked in confusion, "This is?"
Lie Shan nodded at Qiao Xing, then patted a shorter boy on the shoulder, and said, "This is your little aunt."
Qiao Xing is actually only 16 years old this year, only four years older than the eldest Xiao Si, but since he and Qiao Mian intend to adopt these children, they can't be called Sister Qiao Xing.
The short boy, that is, Xiao Wu called people hoarsely, "Little aunt..."
Although Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, he quickly responded.
Lie Shan explained, "These children will live in our house from now on."
Qiao Xing saw that the shoes on these children's feet were still thin cloth shoes in the cold winter, and she felt very sad all of a sudden, as if she had suffered such a crime before. She understood Lie Shan's meaning in her heart, He said anxiously, "Then I'll go and clean up the children's house."
Good morning Lie Shan.
Lie Shan led the children into the hall, and Qiao Mian also entered the house holding the rice dumpling that wanted to roll in the snow.
Seeing the red and swollen eyes of several children, sobbing while wiping away tears, he had a bad guess in his mind, "Lie Shan, the grandpa of the children?"
Lie Shan sighed, "The old man was gone last night."
Qiao Mian said anxiously, "A few days ago, when we went to see the old man, his complexion improved. How could it be so sudden?"
Xiao Wu sobbed and said, "Yes, he was pissed off by Er Manzi."
Qiao Mian couldn't believe it, "What's going on!"
Xiao Wu cried and told the whole story.
The person who had the most trouble with Xiao Wu's family was a lame man who liked to gamble in the temple.
He had planned on Xiao Ba long ago, trying to steal Xiao Ba and sell him while the family was asleep at night, but he was discovered by the old man who never dared to sleep soundly, and finally the children had a hard time He also wounded the other leg of the Erleizi, and this beam has been formed ever since.
The night before the old man's accident was Xiao Qi's birthday, the old man had been thinking about the child who was working in Zhao's house and couldn't come back, so he asked Xiao Si and the others to buy some meat to make some dumplings for Xiao Qi.
When the family was making dumplings, Er Manzi came back and asked them to share his pot with a shy face.
The old man didn't want to get into trouble with others, so he could give him some food if he persuaded him with nice words, and the rest should be sent to Xiao Qi who worked in Zhao's house.
Unexpectedly, the two lame people immediately laughed and said, "Where did the Zhao family come from? That Xiaoqi has been dead for more than half a month. Is it possible to burn it for him? It's a waste of food! Why don't you give it to me?" , I call you Grandpa, can I be your grandson!"
As soon as these words came out, the old man's face turned pale, and the rolling pin in his hand dropped immediately.
Xiao Si and the others were terrified, and hurriedly supported Grandpa and said that Xiao Qi was not dead, Xiao Qi was not dead.
And that Er Manzi became more and more gloating, not only told about Xiao Qi's murder, but also added details about Xiao Qi's death.
The old man was in tears, holding Xiao Si's hand tightly, and asked him to find Xiao Qi back at the top of his voice!
The children were already in a mess, so they could only persuade their grandpa while crying.
The old man still didn't understand something, his face suddenly turned blue, he couldn't get up in one breath, and fell straight backwards.
When the old man died, his cloudy and aged eyes were still looking straight at the direction of the door.
It was waiting for his little grandson to bounce back.
Several children guarded the old man's body all night. When it was dawn, Xiao Si wiped away his tears and went to Lie Shan.
As soon as they met, he knelt down and kowtowed to Lie Shan, begging him to help bury the old man, he was willing to sign a contract of sale, and was willing to be a cow and a horse for their family for a lifetime.
Qiao Mian's eyes were filled with tears, and the dumpling in his arms saw his father crying, his eyes widened, and the chubby hand lightly patted Qiao Mian's face, saying, "Daddy don't cry, Bao'er, I'll pile it up for you." Let's play snowman."
Qiao Mian patted her silly son, then looked at Xiaoba in Lie Shan's arms, and Xiaosi and Xiaowu on the ground, and sighed, "We will take care of the funeral affairs of the old man. You can stay here. From now on, this will be your life." your home."
Qiao Mian is not a kind person who wants to adopt homeless children when he sees them. There are so many poor children in this world, how can he save them?
He feels guilty and pity for these children from the bottom of his heart.
After all, Xiao Qi was killed by Master Song to frame him and Lie Shan.
And with this layer of entanglement and entanglement, it is really impossible for him to watch these children fend for themselves.
Xiaosi frowned, choked with sobs and said, "I, I can sign a contract of sale, I, I don't know how to eat, I can work."
Xiao Wu also cried embarrassingly, "I'll sign it too, I'll sign it too, we won't eat too much."
Xiao Ba in Lie Shan's arms looked like a kitten soaked in the rain, trembling and sobbing, "I, I'm so good, I, I can work too."
Lie Shan and Qiao Mian looked at each other, and they both saw intolerance and helplessness in each other's eyes.
Qiao Mian patted Xiao Si on the shoulder, and said in a calm tone, "I've told you many times, my husband and I just feel sorry for you two. We don't want you to sign a contract of sale, and we didn't adopt you to let you Work. I just hope that one day you can learn some means of making a living and be able to stand on your own. This will be worthy of the grandfather who has worked so hard to bring you back. You can live at home and don’t think about giving us anything back every day. Then you will become talents Just come back and see us later.”
After listening to Qiao Mian's words, Xiaosi and Xiaowu felt complicated and excited, and were very grateful.
And become, become a talent?
Can these two dirty little beggars become talents?What kind of fantasy is this.
Xiao Si wiped away her tears and said sincerely, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Qiao, I, we understand."
Qiao Mian was also very happy to see that Xiaosi, the most stubborn of the children, had figured it out, and said with a smile, "This will be your home from now on, so you don't need to call me Shopkeeper Qiao."
Xiao Wu blinked and had swollen eyeballs, "What's that called?"
Qiao Mian glanced at Lie Shan, Lie Shan thought about it, and said in a deep voice, "Since you have become children of this family, you can call me both father if you want."
Although Qiao Mian was only ten years older than the oldest Xiao Si, as long as these children can grow up healthy and happy in this family, the rest is not important.
Both Xiaowu and Xiaosi were stunned. They had been wandering with groups of beggars for as long as they could remember, and they were picked up by their grandpa one after another before they formed a family.
Now not only do you have a family to avoid the suffering of being displaced, but now you have two fathers?
Qiao Mian thought that these children were embarrassed to speak up, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can call us whatever you want."
"No, no, we are willing." Xiao Wu ran to Qiao Mian's side, tentatively holding Qiao Mian's hanging hand, like a child who just learned to speak, with a hoarse and choked voice, "Daddy."
Qiao Mian raised her eyebrows and smiled, and patted his head, "Hey."
Dumpling watched in a daze as someone called Qiao Mian's father, and then looked at Xiao Ba in Lie Shan's arms. He suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and hugged Qiao Mian's neck tightly, as if he had been robbed of his most important thing. , crying loudly, "This is mine, my daddy, woo woo woo."
Xiao Wu's smile faltered, and he took a few steps back in a sensible way.
However, Qiao Mian pulled Xiao Wu back, patted Zong Zong's back with the other hand, and coaxed, "This is brothers, isn't Bao'er always playing by himself, it's very boring, so many brothers and you are here Play, aren't you happy?"
Zong Zong stopped crying when he heard Wan Wan, his nose was red from crying, and he choked while crying, "Then, then I'm still yours, baby?"
Qiao Mian nodded and kissed his peach-like little face, "Yes, you will always be my baby."
"Then, that candied haws, the last one left, who do you give it to?"
"Little watermelon tip, give me a bite?"
"Sleep, I'm still there, in the middle?"
The dignified atmosphere just now was suddenly broken by Zong Zong's words, Xiaosi and Xiaowu couldn't help laughing, this brother is really cute.
"Here you are, here you are." Qiao Mian fondled his face and said, "Go down and see the brothers."
Lie Shan also followed the trend and put Xiao Ba in his arms on the ground.
Zong Zong happened to see Xiao Ba's face, and was shocked for a moment. He didn't even look at Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, who had red noses, and ran to Xiao Ba, who looked like a kitten, on his short legs. "I'm Zong Zong, what's your name?"
Xiao Ba softly said, "I, I don't have a name, so my name is Xiao Ba."
"Then you, let's call you Zao Zao." Zong Zong said nonsense in a serious child's language, and he patted his small chest again, "I am Xiao Zongzi, you are so cute and sweet, it is Xiao Zongzi, we What a match."
Qiao Mian and Lie Shan "..."
Little Four and Little Five "..."
what happened?
Where did this kid learn these words?
Qiao Mian wanted to shake her son's shoulders violently, son, wake up, have you forgotten the little Mingming by the lake in Yaoshui Village?
But later Xiao Ba was still named Zao Zao.
At first, Qiao Mian wanted to read some books to give Xiao Ba a nice name, but he couldn't help but there was always a little bee buzzing in his ears, "Zao Zao, eat cake, Zao Zao, are you sleeping well?" , it doesn’t hurt until jujube whirring.”
The whole family who came and went to make troubles began to acquiesce that Xiao Ba was called Zao Zao.
Two days later, the heavy snow in Shun'an Town stopped.
Shanmian Beverage is finally reopening.
In the middle of the night, while the whole family was resting, Qiao Mian sneaked into the kitchen, bolted the door like a thief, and then let his consciousness enter the space.
Qiao Mian plans to make milk tea and fried chicken this winter.
I don't have to worry about milk. In those days, I stocked up a lot for cold drinks, but when the weather got cold, it was hard to buy cold drinks, so the milk was left over.
Now it can be used to make milk tea.
For tea, you can go to the tea shop to buy some black tea. As for the pearls in the milk tea, Qiao Mian plans to use glutinous rice to make them, or you can use white jelly to make some jelly and put them in.
As for the fried chicken, there is something special about it. Qiao Mian remembers that there is a children's Orleans fried chicken marinade in the supermarket, which has two flavors: honey sauce and sweet aroma.
Qiao Mian continued to search and found a bag of cassava flour specially for children to make fried food, and a set of three bottles of children's sauces, which were tomato sauce, salad dressing, and sweet and spicy sauce.
Although the sweet and spicy sauce is not too spicy, it is better than some green onions and dogwood that I eat now.
The former is basically difficult to soak in the flavor of the cooking, and the latter is always slightly bitter because it is a medicinal material. Since Qiao Mian recovered his memory, he can no longer eat this seasoning.
Now that the seasoning is ready and the chicken is left, he has already told Aunt Li about collecting the chicken, and they will probably bring it when they come tomorrow, which is not difficult.
Qiao Mian took twenty packs of the same seasoning and planned to go to the front desk. He thought that these seasonings would cost 100 taels of silver, but he didn't expect the space to be so dark.
Rows of gold characters appeared above the seasoning.
[A total of one hundred packs of seasoning, totaling 200 taels of silver. 】
200 two!
This is going to cost him all the money to buy chickens?
[Host don't hesitate, pay as soon as possible, is there any better snack than fried chicken with milk tea? 】
Gritting her teeth, Qiao Mian still handed over the money, reluctant to let the child not be caught by the wolf, anyway, it was not once or twice that the space pitted her.
It seems that after he paid the money, the lights in the space were abnormally bright, and a few lines of rainbow farts popped up.
[The weather will be fine and sunny in the next few days, but the temperature will be extremely low. At this time, it is a blessing to be able to drink mellow hot milk tea and eat crispy, sweet and spicy fried chicken. 】
[I wish the host business is booming and prosperous! 】
Qiao Mian broke up the fonts angrily, and picked out a few bags of sauce at random to leave the space.
Fearing that there would be too many people talking during the day, Qiao Mian endured the sleepiness and washed a few pot-bellied porcelain jars, and put the sauce in them. As for the packaging, he threw them into the stove and burned them.
When he returned to the room and went to bed on tiptoe, Lie Shan hugged him from behind, but was a little sober from the cold air on his body, and asked him in a hoarse voice, "Where did you go? It's so cold?"
Qiao Mian still felt sorry for the 100 taels of silver, so she nestled in Lie Shan's arms and said in a muffled voice, "Get up at night."
Only then did Lie Shan hum, and when he was drowsy after a while, he heard the person in his arms mutter softly, "100 taels, alive, the white 100 taels of silver is gone."
Lie Shan sighed in his heart, and hugged his husband even tighter.
Early the next morning, Aunt Li, mother and daughter and Tang Qing came with a cart of chickens.
Tang Qing patted the chicken coop, and said with a smile, "According to what you said, all the chickens are harvested, and they are very fresh and tender."
"That's good, let's go, Mrs. Tang Qing, I have figured out a new food, let's go and have a look together."
Both of them said hello.
As soon as Sister Mei saw Qiao Xing and the two little sisters, she quickly got together and chatted to share what flowers she embroidered recently. Xiaosi and Xiaowu played in the yard with rice dumplings and jujubes, and Lie Shan acted as The coolie is responsible for moving all the chickens to the chicken coop in the backyard.
Aunt Li and Tang Qing's admiration for Qiao Mian went up to a new level when they saw Qiao Mian's jars of sauce.
This smell makes people want to drool, it is so delicious!
Qiao Mian took out that set of excuses, saying that these sauces were all learned from that book, and it took several months to make them before they took shape.
Aunt Li and Tang Qing naturally believed him, after all, Qiao Mian did not surprise them once or twice.
Qiao Mian had already prepared the ingredients. He pointed to the marinated chicken pieces and said, "We have two jobs today, making fried chicken and milk tea for practice."
Aunt Li and Tang Qing both said hello.
Qiao Mian first showed them how to make milk tea. First, stir-fry the black tea with icing sugar. After the sugar is slightly discolored, pour in boiling water and milk until it boils.
Qiao Mian made a large piece of grape jelly with grape skin water and white jelly, cut it into small pieces and added it to the warmed milk tea.
After drinking a cup, Tang Qing exclaimed, "I've also tasted this tea and fresh milk, but it's really strange that these two things taste so good together. By the way, what's this called?"
Qiao Mian said, "This is called Portuguese pearl milk tea." He said again, "Do you understand what I made? Come and try it."
Tang Qing was eager to try and said, "Success, I'll try."
On the other side, Aunt Li had already soaked the marinated chicken pieces in a layer of egg liquid according to Qiao Mian's instructions, and finally kneaded them with tapioca flour.
Qiao Mian reminded Aunt Li to pay attention to the heat. In the beginning, she often fried it, but later on, Aunt Li became more proficient at frying. Gradually, the small pot next to it was filled with golden and crispy chicken pieces.
Seeing that their work was getting better and better, Qiao Mian thought for a while about how many children they had, and each of them had a bad stomach. When the time came, he ordered them not to eat too much fried chicken, but what if the children were greedy?
He thought for a while and took out a few taro from the kitchen cabinet, shaved them, and cut them into long strips, planning to make a snack that he had eaten before.
Anti sand taro.
