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

Zhu Zhongzhong opened the drawing, and saw that the box contained fragments of wood. The wood blocks had mortises and tenons for connecting each other, as well as finger-sized beams, citrons, minarets, and watchboards.

He was a little dumbfounded, he stared blankly at Carpenter Chen, "What, what is this?"

Carpenter Chen glanced at him with a smile, put down the work in hand, randomly picked out a few pieces of wood, flipped his fingers, and skillfully assembled them up and down. After a while, half of the Red Maple Bookstore was already formed!

Zhu Zhongzhong's eyes widened. "Wow, it's amazing. How do you spell this thing? Do you have a step-by-step drawing?"

Carpenter Chen shook his head, "Only you can see that picture."

"Ah?" Zhu Zhongzhong curled his lips in disappointment, "I'm not a carpenter, how can I fight!"

"This toy is designed for customers to figure out and put it together. How can there be any fun in relying on drawings?" Carpenter Chen raised his eyebrows. "So this toy is not suitable for children like you."

"I'm not a child, I can fight!"

Zhu Zhongzhong snatched the box from Carpenter Chen's arms, and snorted heavily, "How much money, I bought it!"

Carpenter Chen said, "This set of building blocks is not cheap. A box costs 35 Wen. You should buy some dolls to play with."

"Who wants the cats and dogs played by those little girls!" Zhu Zhongzhong held on and refused to let go, "I want this!" He pretended to take money from his pocket.

At this time, I only heard a chuckle from behind, "Forget it, you can play with it, and you will give me the silver when you put it together."

Zhu Zhongzhong and Chen Carpenter looked back at the same time, and saw Qiao Mian, who had a handsome figure and a bright jade face.

Carpenter Chen cupped his hands, "Shopkeeper Qiao, you are here."

Zhu Zhongzhong blinked his eyes, and snorted proudly, "My father is the biggest butcher in our Shun'an Town. I have a lot of silver, and I'm not short of these few pennies!"

Qiao Mian smiled, "I know you're from a rich family when you're dressed, but this set of building blocks is still a bit difficult for a child of your size, how about this, I'll lend you to play with first, and then pay the money if you can figure it out. How about returning the jade to me if you are bored?"

Zhu Zhongzhong said to himself, "I will definitely be able to spell it out!"

Qiao Mian thought for a while and said, "Okay, if you can figure it out in three days, I'll give you this piece of building blocks?"

Zhu Zhongzhong was full of fighting spirit, Xiaopang waved his hand, "It's a deal!"

When the little chubby boy ran away, Carpenter Chen let out a distressed ouch, "It took me four or five days to do this. If the kid loses a mortise because of his frizz..."

Qiao Mian smiled, "It's okay, I know this kid, he is a regular customer of Shanmian drinks."

As soon as Li Shu'er returned home from the women's academy, her mother and maid Nong'er were full of mystery, one covering her eyes and the other holding her hand as they walked into the room.

She groaned, "What are you hiding in my room, why are you so secretive?"

Nong'er "Miss, you will find out later!"

Li Shu'er pursed her lips into a smile, and followed the two of them obediently, thinking that the birthday gift this time was either the pearl hairpins and silver hairpins from Baoyuhang, or the rouge and snow makeup from Yuqiaosi.

But when she saw a dozen fat and soft dolls under the gauze curtain on the bed, her delicate face was full of joy, "What are these? Where did they come from!" She pulled a fat-headed little yellow chicken, I couldn't put it down and rubbed it twice, and said in surprise, "So soft, so cute!"

Mother Li smiled and said, "These are birthday presents from Shopkeeper Qiao. Their new store, Children's Fun Square, opened today, and they sell these cute and fluffy animal dolls."

"Shopkeeper Qiao has opened a new shop?" Li Shu'er's eyes brightened. "These soft and delicate dolls are still being sold? I have to say that Shopkeeper Qiao is really fantastic!"

Nong'er covered her mouth and laughed, "That's right, not only do you sell these kittens, rabbits, and lambs, but you also sell some small mahogany blocks, which I heard are called building blocks. It's quite interesting to look at!"

Li Shu'er hugged four or five dolls in her arms, her eyebrows and eyes curved strangely, "Tomorrow I will go to Shanmian Children's Fun Square to thank the shopkeeper in person!"

At the same time, Zhu Zhongzhong returned home excitedly with a box of building blocks.

Grandma Zhu had been waiting in the garden for her grandson to leave school, and when she saw Zhu Zhongzhong, she would stuff her grandson with a plate of lard shortcake to satisfy her cravings.

Zhu Zhongzhong has always been delicious, and after a while with his grandma, he began to feast on it. While eating, he did not forget to praise his grandma, "The crisp cake made by grandma is better than anything else, and it is the best in the world in my mind!"

Grandma Zhu was so teased that she couldn't help laughing, but she snorted like an old child, "I don't believe your slippery mouth, I don't know who doesn't like grandma when they eat fried chicken from Shangshanmian Drink Cooked food?"

Zhu Zhongzhong rolled his eyes, and said coquettishly and foolishly, "No matter how good the food outside is, it can't compare to what my grandma cooks for me!"

Grandma Zhu was coaxed into a smile, and she was just about to take her purse to give supplies to her eldest grandson, when she heard her son's rough roar from a long distance away.

"Zhu Zhongzhong! You play hooky again for me!"

Zhu Zhongzhong thought something was wrong, and wanted to run while holding the wooden box, but his father grabbed him by the collar before taking two steps.

"Little bastard! Where can you go! The master has found his home, and I have lost all my face. You see, I will take a layer of your skin!"

"Dad, dad, I was wrong! I was wrong!"

Father Zhu waved his palm, and saw the box in Zhu Zhongzhong's hand overturned on the ground, "Our Zhu family can point you to the exam to come back as a scholar. Look at you, you know how to lose your ambition every day!"

Seeing that the box had been dropped, Zhu Zhongzhong didn't care about his father, so he broke away from his big hands and hurried to pick up the scattered pieces of wood. A butcher is going to be a scholar, isn't it embarrassing for you!"

"Besides, this thing of mine is not a plaything. Do you know how powerful it is that you can spell it out? Shopkeeper Qiao said that adults may not be able to spell it out. If I can figure it out, he will give it to me!" He shook out the completed picture and showed it to his father, "Look, look, these small pieces of wood can put together a Red Maple Bookstore, if I am the first to put it together in Shun'an, then your face will also be bright, old Zhu !"

Father Zhu glanced at the complicated and elegant study room, and then at the fine pieces of wood. Before he started, he felt that one head was two big, and his son was clumsy and heavy enough to do such delicate work?If he can do it, it can be regarded as his eldest son's ability!He felt bright in his heart, but he still snorted heavily, "Okay, you kid, fight for me. If you can't even play well, I'll send you to the academy as a sweeper tomorrow!"

Zhu Zhongzhong was full of fighting spirit, "I have set a three-day period with the shopkeeper Qiao. Don't worry, I will succeed!"

On the first day of its opening, the Shanmian Children's Fun Workshop bought more than 70 dolls, but only sold five sets of building blocks.

Although it wasn't a good start, Qiao Mian still held a few celebration tables in the backyard of the Children's Fun Workshop when work was over at night.

All the embroiderers and carpenters who had nothing to do at home came, as well as Aunt Li of Tang Qing and their family. The dishes were all kinds of vegetables and meat, including fish and meat, and the yard was very lively for a while.

Qiao Mian specially held a wine glass to respect the carpenters and embroiderers, but the carpenters were a little embarrassed when they saw Qiao Mian. They were working in the backyard and heard that only five sets of building blocks were sold today, although they also knew that the wood was not attractive. The child likes it, but he still feels that he has not done the job arranged by the boss.

There was a man named Zhao San. After taking a sip of wine, he slammed down the table, "Shopkeeper Qiao, don't worry, I'm going to give you a few pots of daughter red today. We have to work harder in the future, and we can't let those girls look down upon us." go!"

As soon as these words came out, the bold women at the opposite table immediately laughed and hissed, "We girls are amazing, Zhao San, don't underestimate us!"

"Tomorrow, let's compete again tomorrow!"

"Come on, who is afraid of you, our Shun'an Xiuniang is not afraid of things!"

Back and forth, everyone in the yard was laughing.

Qiao Mian smiled and persuaded the carpenter not to be impatient, and encouraged the embroidered mother a few words, and finally told the woman who was waiting on the side that if the leftover food in the kitchen was too much to eat, she could pack it back for the embroidered mother and the carpenters.

After dinner, Qiao Mian was not idle either. After reading the accounts of Shanmian Drink and Children's Fun Square, he went into the space to exchange some chili sauce and children's tapioca flour.

It was late at night when he went back to his room to rest, and when he got into bed, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked Xiaosi Xiaowu how they were doing at the academy today.

Just as he was about to get out of bed with his clothes on, Lie Shan, who was undressed, quickly pressed his shoulders, "I asked them as soon as they came back, and Xiaosi said it's okay, Xiaowu followed suit, but the grievance on his face couldn't be hidden." live."

Qiao Mian frowned, "Someone bullied them both!"

Lie Shan quickly comforted him, "Leave this matter to me. I'm not too busy dealing with jade. I'll go to the academy to have a look tomorrow."

Qiao Mian hummed heavily, "Okay, our children have no reason to be bullied for no reason."

Lie Shan said, "Don't worry."

He gently wrapped his arms around Qiao Mian's waist, and sighed softly, "Now that the moon is getting older, you can't run around anymore. Although business is important, you should also take care of your body."

Qiao Mian found a comfortable position in Lie Shan's arms, buried her head in Lie Shan's neck and grinned, "This cub is really obedient, if it wasn't for Dr. Lin who often came to check his pulse, I really wouldn't feel his existence." .”

Lie Shan also laughed when he heard the words, "He probably knows that his father is restless, so he wants to save his worries."

At noon the next day, when the sun was warm, the stream of people on Shun'an Long Street kept gathering in one place.

Some people wondered, "Where are you going? Could it be that there is something new in Yuchun Tower?"

"no no."

"It's the Shanmian Children's Fun Square, a shop that sells toys for children. There are a few jugglers at the door of their shop!"

"Juggling? Broken boulders in the chest?"

"No, you'll know when you go and have a look. They can jump, dance, and sing, but it sounds good. I see, it seems that Quan Shun'an's children have surrounded him!"

"Go, go, go and see!"

And Mr. He, who was in the crowd and dressed in plain clothes, also glanced at the speaker.

The master on the side smiled and said, "My lord is interested? Why don't you go and have a look?"
