Chapter 294 A Big Bowl of Lamb Soup

"Yes, master,"

Qiao Mai took away one hundred thousand taels of silver bills, and handed over the rest to shopkeeper Feng for the New Year. He went to the warehouse to check and replenished enough.

In the evening, she summoned Steward Xi, asked her to tell her about the family affairs, and arranged for her the New Year's event.

I had a good night's sleep at home, and the next day, I rode Dongzao to Shexian County.

Stayed in the workshop for a whole day, and the steward stayed next to him for a day. Qiao Mai asked him while looking at the account.

"Have you started picking pine nuts this year?"

"Yes, the first pine forest has pine cones, so the subordinates arranged for people to start picking, and started frying according to the recipe you gave"

"Have someone bring some over"

"Yes, master"

After a while, the fried pine nuts that were still hot just out of the pan were brought up. Qiao Mai looked at the head, and then looked at each pine nut with an open mouth.

Reached out and took one, peeled it off and tasted it, "Well, it tastes good, is there a hawker coming to the workshop to sell it?"

"Yes, there are not many,"

"Hire some more people, separate the pine nuts, pay a price for the small ones, pay a price for the big ones, and then pick out some top-quality goods for a price, and send them to Qiaoji Snack Shop in Tianshui Town. good."

"Yes, master."

Qiao Mai read the account book, took away the bank notes, and left some for the steward to send red envelopes and wages for future use.

Seeing that it was getting dark, she didn't intend to go back, and put the Dongzao into the space.

At the inn in the county seat, I booked a good room, and then walked around the county seat in the snow.

It's such a cold day, huh? Actually let her see a mutton soup restaurant, there are quite a lot of people.

Going closer, I saw that several lamps were lit inside. It was a small shop, and the tables inside were almost full.

It was meal time, so she walked in and sat at an empty table.

Just as she was about to order food, a handsome young man sat across from her.

"Let's go alone, don't you mind sharing a table?"

Qiao Mai ignored him, and beckoned to the buddy, "Here's a big bowl of mutton soup and two biscuits."

"Me too!"

The man ordered the same as her, the Eight Immortals table was not small, and the two faced each other, but Qiao Mai still ignored him.

Soon mutton soup and sesame seed cakes were brought to him. Qiao Mai took out vinegar, pepper, and salt and put them in. He felt that there was still something missing, then took a bottle from his cuff, pulled off the cap and poured some in it, and put it back on the cuff after buttoning it.

The man on the opposite side spoke, "Can you leave yours for me too?"

Qiao Mai pretended to be farting, and immediately stuffed it into his cuff, stirred the mutton soup with a spoon, held sesame seed cakes in one hand, and drank the mutton soup in the other, completely ignoring the man.

She quickly finished two sesame cakes and a big bowl of mutton soup, then paid the clerk, got up and left.

The man immediately stood up and followed her, "Ma'am, wait a minute"

Qiao Mai turned around abruptly, "Don't think that you look like a dog. If you are a woman, you should respond to you."

"I see Madam eating alone and making friends?"

"No, men and women don't know each other, stay away from me."

"Ma'am!"

The man was about to stretch out his hand to pull Qiao Mai as he spoke. To deal with such a person, she went over with all her strength, and he was fixed in place.

He could only watch Qiao Mai leave, and after a while, someone came to him.

"How about it?"

The man watched someone come to rescue him, but he couldn't open his mouth or move his body, so he could only signal the man with his eyes,

"Have you been acupunctured?"

The handsome man blinked, so the man tried to untie the acupuncture points for him, but it didn't work.

It's icy and snowy here, and it's minus 20 degrees at night. There's no way, another man hurriedly lit a charcoal stove next to him.

This station lasted for two hours. By the time the man was able to speak, he was almost frozen to death.

"I'm about to freeze to death, let's go and find an inn to keep warm."

"The woman lives in the Juhe Inn on the street behind."

"Go, I fell in love with that woman immediately,"

"Come on, you'd better be honest, if it wasn't for me just now, you would have frozen to death on the street."

"It's strange to say, that woman didn't touch me at all, how could I?"

"Isn't she surrounded by protective people?"

"Probably not. My martial arts are so advanced that I don't even feel that there are masters around me."

"I advise you to give up and be careful sailing forever."

"No, none of the women I saw ran away. Although she was born unattractive, her skin is really good. I really want to grab it. It must feel great."

The two came to Juhe Inn, and the man gave the innkeeper a piece of silver.

"Two hours ago, which room did the woman who came in live in?"

Two tall and big men, they are not easy to mess with when they look dressed, the shopkeeper swallowed and pointed at them with his fingers.

"Second floor, turn left to the second room."

"Then give me the first one?"

"Occupied"

"Then the third room, or the room opposite her."

The shopkeeper handed over the house key with trembling hands. The man just came over to deliver it, but the man stared back.

They went up to the second floor and came to the door of the room where Qiao Mai lived. '

The man smiled evilly, "Do you want to be together tonight?"

"No, I'm afraid I'll lose my life."

"This is not like your style. It is said that if you die under the pomegranate skirt, you can be a ghost. As long as you let me taste her icy muscles and bones, it doesn't matter if you die."

Qiao Mai was meditating in the space at this time, and Xiaoqing was selling goods to her in front of the computer, mumbling while putting items on the shelves.

"Master, the fifth-grade elixir is almost out of stock. You have to continue to work hard to refine the sixth-grade elixir. I found that the price of the sixth-grade elixir is more than five times higher than that of the fifth-grade elixir. This is a watershed." , we have a lot of sixth-grade to ninth-grade pills, and even magic medicines, you have to work hard."

Qiao Mai opened his eyes and looked at it helplessly, "Then you have to improve your cultivation first."

"Master, you just use this month to be promoted to Nascent Soul"

"It's not that easy. My space and time don't accelerate. Take your time. What's the rush? Becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator by the end of next year is my goal."

"You are really not motivated at all."

"Don't even look at it. I'm a woman with a family. It's either this or that. I have to deal with my husband at night."

"Yes, anyway, if you don't work hard, master, I will change to a new master in the future."

"Don't worry, my old lady will live a good life once she is reborn. Don't forget that I am a top student. In just a few short years, I will soon be a Nascent Soul. Don't worry, one day I will become a fairy."

"I hope so, anyway, Ben Ling doesn't like you, too lazy"

One person and one spirit were arguing, and Qiu Mai's spiritual consciousness left outside was sensitively conveying information to her.

Someone used a pipe to put smoke into the house, Qiao Mai raised his brows, thinking of the man she was dating today.

Don't look serious, but she felt the breath of several women in him.

Like this, she must have had relationships with many women, so she ignored it.

Could it be him?

Xiaoqing broke through the space barrier, opened the window in the house, and with a wave of her little hand, blew away the misty smoke in the house.

Seeing the smoke that continued to blow in from the door, it flew over and immediately blocked it.

Pouting his lips, he tapped his finger, and the man blowing smoke outside was stopped.

The misty smoke kept pouring into the man's body. After a while, the man fell down. Just when Xiaoqing wanted to deal with him, the opposite door opened.

Seeing the man fall, he was immediately dragged into the house.

Then closed the door and plugged it in, and slapped the man's face vigorously. Seeing that it didn't work, he picked up a basin and poured cold water on the man's face, but it still didn't work.

This is because the smoke is too deep in the middle of the night. At this time, the man became afraid, and he felt that it is not appropriate to stay for a long time at this time.

So she took her companions to order, but didn't pay the bill, so Xiaoqing went back to the space and looked at Qiao Mai.

"Can't just let them go,"

"them?"

"Yeah, two, they live across from us."
