I opened a mother and baby supermarket in ancient times to raise cubs

Lie Shan and Uncle Hua agreed on a departure time and returned to the mansion.

Mrs. Qian, who was sweeping the floor in the courtyard, was still taken aback when she saw Lie Shan, and said with a smile, "It's rare to see the master's house is not busy these days, so come back earlier, then I'll cook a few more dishes tonight."

Lie Shan said hello, and handed her the purse fillet in his hand, "warm it up."

He asked again, "Are there any supplements for Ah Mian?"

Mrs. Qian said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, but the master's appetite seems to be bad again, and he didn't eat a few mouthfuls of lunch just now."

Lie Shan frowned slightly, and walked quickly to the study in the backyard. There was no need to doubt where A Mian was. Sure enough, as soon as he opened the door, he saw A Mian writing and drawing on the table, and two people fell asleep on the heated kang beside him. The two children are jujube and zongzi.

Qiao Mian was surprised when she saw him, she lowered her voice and laughed, "You came back so early today."

"En." Lie Shan sat down, glanced at the drawing in his hand, a little curious, but asked the business first, "I heard Mrs. Qian said that you have a bad appetite recently, so I'll invite Dr. Lin to take a look later. "

"I'm fine. Mrs. Qian watches me eat every day. If I miss a bite, she will worry about my discomfort." Qiao Mian laughed, "I just snatched rice dumplings and jujubes for snacks before meals, and I'm getting tired of it."

He patted his stomach where he couldn't see anything at all, "He is quite honest, don't be too nervous."

Lie Shan heaved a sigh of relief, and poked his forehead with his hand, "You, you still compete for snacks with your children, I've said it many times, A Mian, you should eat less of those greasy snacks, and eat more meals, otherwise the months will Your body will not be able to bear it when you get older, after all, this is not an ordinary child."

Qiao Mian's scalp was numb from the quilt, and she smiled and said perfunctorily, "I know, I know, I will eat more." Then he thought of something and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, you came back so early today, are you done with your work?"

Lie Shan shook his head and smiled, knowing that Qiao Mian disliked him again, so he had to tell Qiao Mian about his plan in detail. After hearing this, Qiao Mian agreed, "This idea is really good, we just need to make a deal. Simply decorate the small shop, and then spend some effort to find jade. You don't need to deliberately manage it, and you don't need to hire too many people. You and Uncle Hua are enough, and one of you has experience and the other has experience. Even if you don’t find much jade every month, if you can find a good piece of jade, you will only earn but not lose.”

Lie Shan laughed, "That's exactly the truth."

Qiao Mian was still a little worried, "But you said that you are going to Yunlie Mountain, I think it is a bit inappropriate. When I returned to the village today, I heard Chen Fulang say a few words. These days, there are villagers and foreigners secretly going to Yunlie Mountain. , Many people never return, and even those who come back by chance will be frozen and festered, and they are not human. We only go to the foot of Yunlie Mountain, where there are wild beasts and poisonous snakes, and most of the mines are on the top of the mountain. , not to mention steep and snow all year round, the risk is extremely high, what if you get miasma again?"

Lie Shan patted Qiao Mian's hand reassuringly, "Don't worry, Yunlie Mountain is half of my family, I am very familiar with every plant and tree, nothing will happen to me."

Qiao Mian sighed, "I can't persuade you."

"The jungle and the deep mountains are the home of beasts, not the deep mountains and seas of fire. I have lived in Yunlie Mountain for so many years without any accidents. How could something have happened just to find some jade? I will protect myself just for you."

Qiao Mian raised her eyelids uninterestedly, "Then when are you leaving?"

"In a few days, I'll come back early, and try to come back to accompany you before the Lantern Festival, and then send Xiaosi Xiaowu to the academy."

"Okay." Qiao Mian said, "Then I'll accompany you to buy some thick shoes and socks and a water bladder tomorrow."

Lie Shan nodded in agreement, remembered something, took out a piece of white silk from his cuff, put it in front of Qiao Mian, and said with a smile, "Look."

Qiao Mian opened it and saw several jade ornaments in front of her. The first thing she saw was the exquisite men's jade hairpin. leaf.A silver bead flower worn by a woman, dotted with several pure white jade beads.There are two naive Jade Tiger Longevity Locks, and three zodiac jade pendants, which are carved with the zodiac images of Zao Zao and Little Four and Little Five.

Lie Shan said, "The hairpin is yours, and the bead flower is for Qiao Xing. I don't know what women like. It was recommended by the shopkeeper of Baoyu Shop. The two little tigers and the three zodiac signs are for the children."

Qiao Mian couldn't put it down as she touched the water jade hairpin, her hands were cold and delicate, and she knew it was a very high-quality jade as soon as she touched it, and exclaimed, "It's really beautiful!"

He said again, "What about you, didn't I ask you to make a jade pendant for yourself?"

With a smile in his eyes, Lie Shan handed the jade pendant around his waist to Qiao Mian.

Qiao Mian took a look, her face suddenly turned red.

That jade pendant was engraved with his small portrait on the front!

This tiger smash is really good at it!

Qiao Mian coughed, threw the jade back into Lie Shan's arms, and muttered indifferently, "Take care of all these bells and whistles."

Lie Shan smiled lightly, and lightly wrapped his arms around Qiao Mian's waist, "It's so gaudy, I'll take it out and have a look when I miss Fulang in the future."

He had just gotten close to Qiao Mian's white and soft cheeks, and before he could make another move, he heard a clear and clear child's voice from the warm kang, "Ah! Kiss!"

Lie Shan hurriedly sat up straight and turned his head, and saw Zao Zao covering Zong Zong's eyes with one hand and his own eyes with the other hand, but the gap between the fingers was so wide that it didn't matter whether it was blocked or not!

Qiao Mian gave a dry cough, and grabbed his arm to signal Lie Shan to loosen his waist.

Lie Shan was depressed "..."

This is really cheating!

When the children and Qiao Xing received the jade pendant at dinner, they were both surprised and delighted, but Xiao Si, who has always been sensitive and self-improving, turned red-eyed when she saw her zodiac jade pendant.

I don't know if I remembered that I didn't become a beggar when I was young.

Carpenter Chen was very efficient in his work. In the past few days, he found carpenters he knew well. According to Qiao Mian's request, he found ten people.

After Qiao Mian signed the contract with them and agreed on the monthly payment and commission, he asked some people to decorate the shop according to the drawings he gave, and the rest started to make toys first.

The day before Lie Shan was going to Yunlie Mountain, Qiao Mian was going to take Lie Shan to Yuqiao Store to buy some protective gear and clothes, but he didn't expect to run into Tang Qing who was in a hurry as soon as he went out.

Tang Qing saw that they were about to go out, and he let out a long breath, "It's a good thing you didn't leave, you asked me to find a few embroiderers a few days ago, and I've already done so. The dozen or so people are from Shun'an Town and also from nearby villages. I have seen their embroidered things, and the embroidery styles are all good."

Qiao Mian was curious, "Aren't they from the embroidery workshop in the town?"

"No, I heard a woman say that the embroidery workshops in the town are very demanding, and the elderly don't want them at all. They despise their old eyesight, slow and rustic embroidery." Tang Qing shook his head, "These people usually do some private work and don't make much money. It’s a copper coin, and when I heard that I’m going to recruit people, I’m afraid I’ve used all my housekeeping skills.”

Qiao Mian patted Tang Qing on the shoulder, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, let them come to the shop directly tomorrow."

Tang Qing said hello, and hurriedly ran to Shanmian Drink.

The two continued to rush to Yuqiao Restaurant. On the way, Qiao Mian also joked to Lie Shan about his relationship with Tang Qing, the shopkeeper of Yuqiao Restaurant.

Shopkeeper Wang seems to be thinner than before, as can be seen from the fact that he can easily run out of the counter as soon as he sees Qiao Mian.

Shopkeeper Wang laughed, "Happy New Year, Shopkeeper Qiao."

Qiao Mian also replied with a festive sentence. He looked around at the guests coming and going, and said with a smile, "Business is still booming. It seems that Mr. Shen is going to get rich again."

Shopkeeper Wang mopped his hands, "I have to thank Shopkeeper Qiao for sending charcoal in a timely manner. We are the ones who are in charge. When summer comes, we will still get the ointment from you."

Qiao Mian nodded, "Of course." Then he asked, "Does the shop have any good things to keep out the cold?"

Shopkeeper Wang thought for a while and said, "A few days ago, I received a few felt hats, gloves and leather boots made of snow ridge animal skins. They are all good things to keep out of the cold from the Great North, and there is a copper Tang Pozi."

Forget about Mrs. Tang, maybe the water will be cold before Lieshan reaches the mountain, but you can try the hat and gloves.

As soon as shopkeeper Wang took out the hat and gloves, Qiao Mian felt very good. The color was warm white and bright, the hair surface was even, the leather was fine, and there were ear protectors on both sides.

It feels very similar to Lie Shan's Mao Mao.

Qiao Mian grabbed the white ear protectors of the hat, which were still fluffy, and even felt very similar to them. He deliberately smiled and looked at Lie Shan, "How about this? It's soft, and those who don't know think it's some animal's little ears."

Lie Shan didn't know what his husband meant by this, when he thought of the scene where his husband teased him that day, he was still a little ready to move, so he could only cough helplessly, and squeezed his husband's earmuff tightly Holding it tightly in his hand, Qiao Mian secretly pulled the corner of his lips, and smiled at shopkeeper Wang, "I want two sets."

Shopkeeper Wang said hello.

Qiao Mian ordered two sets, and also prepared a set for the Uncle Hua who hadn't met yet. When he paid the money and was about to leave, shopkeeper Wang smiled as he sent him off, "I heard that, shopkeeper Qiao, you spent a lot of money on the shop again." There is a shop on this street, what are you going to do this time?"

Qiao Mian didn't hide it, "I still plan to sell things to coax children."

Shopkeeper Wang was taken aback, and worried for Qiao Mian, "Hey, what can this kid have to sell? Shopkeeper Qiao, you have to think about it. You don't know how many wood carvings, daggers, and clay figurines have been brought into my shop." , now it’s all in the warehouse, and it can’t be sold at all. Brother, let me advise you, it’s better to go to your own business and sell what you are good at. Your cooking skills are well-known in our Shun’an Town. My son is such a picky eater, he pesters his mother to eat your fried chicken every day, don't waste such a good reputation in vain!"

Qiao Mian smiled, "Thank you, shopkeeper Wang, for your reminder. I made this decision after a long time of deliberation to open a toy store."

Shopkeeper Wang couldn't persuade him, so he could only sigh, "Hey, when you open, I will lead the youngest son to cheer you on."
