I bring my game account back to ancient times to do business

Chapter 29 Cao Family

The door of Wang's makeup shop is closed.

Like Qiao Yun's Chao Shi Shop, this shop has a front-back and backyard layout, but because Wang's shop happens to be located on the corner of the street, people who usually come in and out of the shop are at the side of the west wing instead of behind.

The wing room connected to the west wing has a small window facing the street, and the sweet smell of steaming rice wafts out from inside.

Bright red couplets and blessing characters are pasted on the red-painted wooden door, and red lanterns are also hung on the corners of the eaves. Because the alley is shady, there is still snow on the eaves that has not melted, and the red and white shine, which is full of New Year flavor.

Qiao Yun stepped forward and knocked on the door with the knocker.

Soon, a familiar female voice came from the ear room.

"Who is it?"

Qiao Yun also responded loudly: "Aunt Wang~ It's me!"

"Hey! The little lady of the Qiao family!"

A spatula fell into the pot with a clang, and Mrs. Wang's voice sounded from near to far and then closer. Then with a creak, the door opened inward, revealing Mrs. Wang's face.

She was still wearing an apron, thinking she was cooking just now.

Mrs. Wang was surprised and happy: "Little girl, I haven't seen you for a while! Is this - your grandma?"

Xue Mei Niang nodded slightly, bowed and gave the most common blessing gift for ordinary women: "My surname is Yun, and my little daughter is indebted to your care. I am also grateful that you gave us mother and daughter a home, so I would like to express my gratitude."

Qiao Yun tilted her head. This was the first time Xue Meiniang mentioned her surname. Is her surname really Yun, or was she just making up nonsense?

The figure of the woman in front of her was as smooth as a willow blowing in the breeze, which made Wang's eyes fixed on Xue Mei Niang, with a look of surprise in her eyes.

Good guy, where did this fairy come from? She has never left Quwo County since she was born, and she has never seen such a fairy-like figure!

It's strange that this little girl can make such useful facial ointment on her own. Looking at her, she must have come from an extraordinary background.

Wang came to her senses and hurriedly bowed and returned the greeting. She called out to the Yun family girl, and Qiao Yun lifted the basket in time.

"Aunt Wang, our family is stewing mutton soup today, so I'm here to give you a taste of my craftsmanship! Here are the candies I made for the stove sacrifice. I made too much, so I'll give it to you to try too."

"Look at you guys, just come here. What are you bringing?"

Wang was overjoyed.

Mutton is very valuable! There is only one sheep farmer within a dozen miles around Quwo County, and he sells the sheep to the county magistrate's family, several members of the county's family, and several restaurants and inns.

Only two of them can be brought to the butcher's stall this year.

The butcher also refused to sell the whole thing. He had to cut off the different parts carefully until there was no trace of meat on the bones. The mutton was the most valuable, followed by the sheep's guts, and finally the bones were also dismantled and sold.

Make soup for people.

Things are rare and expensive, so most people in the town can only buy a kilogram of it for the New Year's Eve festival, and usually eat more chicken, duck, and pig.

Wang's family is relatively well-off, and they don't dare to buy mutton this year. They only weighed half a catty of sheep and scorpions to feed their children.

Qiao Yun has only opened the restaurant for less than a month, and she can already make mutton soup. I heard she made a lot of it!

Could it be that her restaurant was so profitable?

But Yun Yatou’s craftsmanship is really good, that’s not to say. Her husband and son were full of praise for the steamed buns and porridge she brought back that day.

It’s just that at a young age, she can make ointment and has good cooking skills. Where did she learn this skill?

It must be talent! Wang smacked her lips, she was really envious of her.

Yun Xuemei took the basket from Qiao Yun's hand and handed it to Wang's hand, saying: "My little girl is not good at craftsmanship, which makes you laugh. I'm here to disturb you during lunch time. I'm causing trouble to you, Sister Wang, so we won't bother you more."

…”

Mrs. Wang quickly grabbed the two of them: "Why do you guys care about me so much? Since you are here, sister, just have a meal before leaving!"

"Today is the Lunar New Year, how can I disturb your family's shared family life?"

"Hey! It's okay to add two pairs of chopsticks!"

Yun Xuemei still wanted to be polite, but she couldn't resist that Mrs. Wang really wanted to treat her to dinner. She dragged her to the courtyard and locked the door. She turned to the backyard and shouted: "Mom, we have a guest!"

Unable to refuse, Yun Xuemei had no choice but to take Qiao Yun's hand and enter the yard.

Even though Yun Xuemei sometimes looks like a cute rabbit in front of Qiao Yun, once she goes outside and needs adults to support her, she is not bad at all.

Wang's family members are very simple. She and Cao Qingye have two sons, and their mother-in-law is still alive.

Mrs. Cao is fifty-six years old. She was already a very old lady in ancient times. She is skinny and gray-haired, but she is very energetic. It is obvious from a glance that her life is very comfortable.

After Mrs. Wang introduced her mother-in-law to see Yun Xuemei and Qiao Yun, she went to the kitchen to continue working. Qiao Yun originally wanted to ask if she wanted to help, but Ms. Wang repeatedly refused.

"I invite people to eat, and then let the guests come into the kitchen to help. Where should I put my face when the news is spread? You and your mother-in-law can wait in the back!"

Qiao Yun was grateful for Mrs. Wang's cheerfulness. Then she thought about entering someone's kitchen for the first time as a guest. This seemed to be inappropriate, so she decided against it.

"Okay, then just a few dishes are enough. My mother and I are used to living a simple life, so don't bother."

"Why bother? Although you are young and have good cooking skills, don't underestimate me, aunt. With a bucket of mutton soup like yours as a base, are you afraid that I can't prepare a decent meal for the guests?"

While Wang was cooking, Yun Xuemei and Qiao Yun went to the backyard.

Wang's courtyard is much larger than Qiao Yun's small courtyard.

The courtyard with two entrances does not have an inverted seat or a back room. It is square and square with a Japanese pattern. On weekdays, Mrs. Cao lives in the main courtyard, Mr. and Mrs. Wang live in the west wing, and the east wing is for their two sons.

The yard is clean and tidy, divided into four pieces of yellow land by a stone road. One piece has been opened up as a vegetable garden, and an eggplant rack has been set up in it. On the other side, there is a jujube tree that has been around for many years, with a round stone table and five

A stone bench.

Of course, you won’t eat in the courtyard in the middle of winter.

The main room where Mrs. Cao lives has a large guest kang under the window, which can accommodate two tables.

There is always a constant fire in this kang, which is very warm. The family usually eats on this kang table.

Mrs. Cao pulled Yun Xuemei and Qiao Yun onto the kang. Since they were guests, she asked them to sit at the table. She also called her two good grandchildren. After meeting the guests, they sat at the other end of the table and stayed for a while to eat.

When the time comes, I will squeeze into the next table with my child’s father.

Cao Qingye is not here, he is helping his mother-in-law prepare the food!

Although he is really a big boss and can't do delicate work, he can help his wife look after the fire and clean the dishes.

Although the Cao family is a well-to-do family with a shop, they are not so particular. The whole family has the enthusiasm and simplicity of the people in Jin. When they learned that Qiao Yun and Yun Xuemei were "orphans and widowed mothers" who depended on each other, it was not unusual.

People who despised the widow as being unlucky became even more enthusiastic.

Qiao Yun has been eating and drinking well for more than half a month, and her cheeks have finally seen some flesh, and she applies skin care cream to her face every day for free. Although she is still a little thinner now, which does not fit the current aesthetic, she is definitely a good person.

Old Mrs. Cao seemed to fall in love with this little lady with red lips and white teeth. She had been occupying Qiao Yun ever since she got on the kang, letting her sit in her equally thin arms.

The two boys are not very old. They are seven or eight years old. In the countryside, they are often called dogs. Most of the boys at this time are obsessed with cricket fighting. They hold their legs and fight chickens with the neighbor's children, or a lot of children gather together to learn.

When a general goes to war, he doesn't look down on young girls who can only sit in the house and embroider and are so squeamish that they go to their parents to complain.

"Can you fight cocks?"

"Can you play cricket?"

"Do you know the story of Emperor Taizong conquering the world?!"

The two little boys said nothing to each other, but they were trying to embarrass Qiao Yun with things that ordinary girls would not know.

Qiao Yun raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly from her nose.

These little brats! They dare to compare her knowledge reserve with a college student who has received compulsory education and successfully won the college entrance examination!

"Of course I know! His Majesty Taizong's bravery back then is well known to everyone! If it weren't for him, how could we have the good life we ​​have now?" Although she didn't know which Taizong they were talking about, since it was Taizong, so

If you have participated in conquering the world, you are definitely not like the God of Chariots on the Gaolianghe River. You are right to praise him.

Then, Qiao Yun changed the subject and spoke mysteriously: "Then do you two know the story of Nezha becoming a god?"
