Chapter 59： that's my daddy

Chapter 59 That's My Daddy

Qiao Mai has attracted the attention of all parties after she set up her stall, but this did not prevent her from starting a business. On the contrary, the small business became more prosperous.

Business continued throughout the day, and she was not idle.

At noon, the Yuan family got up to cook dinner at home, and Fengyun sent it to them.

She ate all the white rice and stir-fried vegetables.

When it was time to close the stall, Yuan Jiaqi came over in person and let her walk. He pushed the cart, acting like a good husband.

He didn't play it, he was sincere, thanking Qiao Mai for helping him, and thanking Qiao Mai for his sacrifice.

He chose Qiao Mai because of his selfishness. The good things about Qiao Mai mentioned earlier are all superficial.

He looks like a good man, hardworking and caring for his family, he has no bad hobbies, he is a good man in the eyes of big girls and young wives.

Women always wink at him and give him glances, which really annoys him.

But Qiao Mai looked at him like an ordinary person, and he didn't have that kind of thought for him. Coupled with Qiu Mai's character and the urgency of being forced by his family, he asked Qiao Mai for help.

Unexpectedly, she just thought about it for a while, asked a few questions, and then extended a helping hand, not caring at all.

And he has observed Qiao Mai, she didn't agree to him only because she was interested in him, but to help him sincerely.

Therefore, he must treat her sincerely and repay her for saving her.

Seeing Yuan's family getting up to close the stall with Qiao Mai, shopkeeper Lu felt relieved, she knew that this man was a good man.

It's not good, I left the child at home long ago, and went out to have a good time.

"Brother-in-law, do you want to treat my sister well?"

Yuan Jiaqi nodded at shopkeeper Lu, "Yuan will definitely treat my wife well."

Back home, the food was ready, Qiao Mai felt extremely relaxed.

"Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, let's live with a buddy and help each other."

"Okay, let me talk about it while everyone is here."

"Please say."

"There are too many people. It can't be like before. There are no rules and no rules. From now on, I will pay you ten taels of silver every month and let you look after the housework, is that okay?"

"You can have this. I'm free at home and have nothing to do. I just teach and copy books."

"Well, the ten taels of silver include food, children's clothes, pens and ink, etc. If it is not enough, you can tell me, and you don't have to pay for it yourself."

"I and Chuan'er bought it myself."

"No, you can help me reduce my burden by doing housework. I can concentrate on making money outside."

The Yuan family thought about it, and they were not hypocritical, "Okay"

"In the future, when Fengyun and I get up to run and exercise, you and Chuan'er will also get up to exercise. Only a strong body will not be afraid of wind, rain, disasters and diseases."

Yuan Jiaqi's face straightened, "This is even better."

"Finally, whatever I do, if you want to support me, you can help me. If you don't want to support me, just stand aside and don't get involved. I have the final say on my own affairs, and you have the final say on your own affairs. The cooperation between the two parties must be discussed in advance.”

"no problem!"

Qiao Mai took out ten taels of silver on the spot, put it in a cloth bag, and handed it to Yuan Jiaqi.

"Everything is written down, and human relations are not included in it."

"OK."

"Then let's cook. When I'm not at home, you and your children will cook, and when I'm at home, I will improve your life."

She is now the head of the family, as soon as she moves her chopsticks, other people can.

Xiao Chuaner looked at Qiao Mai, smiling Mimi.

"Mother, today the eldest brother and the second brother don't call me Mr. Dad, but Dad."

"Then you still call me mother, what's the matter, you are only allowed to call me mother, and they are not allowed to call him father?"

"Is that my daddy?"

"Then I'm still their mother, or if you call me aunt in the future, they can still call him Mr."

Chuan'er frowned and said reluctantly.

"Okay, for mother's sake, I allow them to call you daddy."

"Ha ha!"

Eating in the small courtyard was also full of laughter, and the Chen family next door felt very uncomfortable hearing it, and really regretted not confessing to the Yuan family earlier.

At night, Qiao Mai still slept in the space. He had been lazy for the past two days, and made up for the empty space tonight.

I have planted four quarters of potatoes, and as the weather gets colder, there will be fewer and fewer vegetables. In a few days, she will also grow vegetables such as cabbage, white radish, and carrot.

Some turmeric, garlic, green onions, etc. should also be planted, and tree species should be planted later.

She has almost all the fruits from the fruit trees in her freezer. Nuts and the like are not available for the time being. There are a lot of cinnamon and peppercorns on the shelves. They can be copied after use, and there is no rush.

She had thought about it, if there were candied haws in the town in winter, she would not sell them, if not, she would add the item of candied haws.

Sell roasted sweet potatoes, boiled corn, spiced peanuts, spiced quail eggs, these five are good.

Shopkeeper Lu tried to persuade herself to set up a shop, but there are no vacancies in the town, and they are all occupied, and she is not short of money, so let's just make do with it.

She thinks setting up a beach is more interesting than opening a shop. Merchants who come from north to south in cold weather can eat warm sweet potatoes, boiled corn, peanuts, quail eggs, etc. without getting off their horses when they come to her stall. How good is that?

As soon as September enters, there are fewer people buying watermelons, but there are still some.

Some agricultural products are gradually on the market, and there are also fresh peanuts and sweet potatoes, but they are not as good as hers.

Many mountain products have also appeared on the market one after another.

Sometimes she would buy some fresh ones when she saw them, but most of them had bug eyes, which made her very unhappy.

Recently, a kind of scorpion appeared in Tianshui Town, which is as big as a millstone, and it makes you want to eat when you look at it.

There is no such thing in her space. Persimmon is a good thing. It is an alkaline food, and eating it often is good for the human body.

So she would buy it when she saw it, and she bought it at a high price. She made an agreement with the person who bought the scorpion, as long as the scorpion is good, she will make it round.

So the man who sold the scorpions delivered them to her one after another.

She accepted all comers.

Bought a few large vats, filled them with warm water, soaked the hard scorpions in a few vats and sealed them, and handed over the rest to Yuan Jiaqi and his children.

She asked him to help make a few shelves, peeled off the outer skin of the 杮zi, then threaded them up, hung them outside to dry naturally, and planned to make them all into 杮pancakes.

A string of yellow and orange, like a small lantern, very beautiful.

She has noticed that in the Ming Dynasty, there was no such thing. This is a business opportunity.

A small courtyard, as long as there is space, it is all hanging.

Chuan’er was greedy, even though Qiao Mai had confessed that it was very astringent, but he didn’t believe it. When Qiao Mai was not around, he secretly took a bite, spat it out, and almost cried, which made the Yuan family dumbfounded.

Six days later, the sealed jar was opened by Qiao Mai. She took one out of it, washed it, peeled it and cut it into pieces, pinched a piece and tasted it.

Well, crunchy, sweet, and very tasty.

Then I washed a few more, cut them into pieces, and invited everyone to come and taste them.

"The taste is good. Compared with other fruits, it has a different taste, and it is fragrant and slightly sweet."

"I collected these for two Wen a catty, how about selling them for five Wen a catty?"

"Is anyone buying it?"

Qiao Mai chuckled, "Old customers, don't give me some face. Eating this is good for your health. They should buy it."

"I'm not good at business."

Qiao Mai found a large basin, picked out some scorpions and cleaned them, and asked his son to bring two baskets, and wiped the stilts one by one with a towel.

"Fengyun, go and deliver a basket to Shopkeeper Lu."

"Yes, mother"

"Yunfeng go and deliver a basket to Aunt Chen, and tell them how to eat it. You two go and return together."

"I'll go too" Chuan'er hurriedly followed them, and Yuan Jiaqi hurriedly got up to follow.

"I'm worried, let's go with the past, now the traffickers are rampant, and the three children are not very old."

"good!"
