Chapter 7 Opening Business

Wu Laoliu took advantage of the faint gleam of the sun left at the end of the sky and drove the car very fast, finally arriving back at Baihe Village before he could no longer see the road.

He didn't even have time to go back to his home, so he drove straight to the door of Qiao's house, jumped out of the car and bang bang bang bang bang the door.

"Who is it! It's so dark at night!"

It was Mrs. Lu who opened the door, and Mrs. Li followed behind her to watch the fun.

The two of them were surprised when they saw it was Wu Laoliu. Just as Lu was about to open her mouth to say something, Wu Laoliu explained the matter in a whirlwind.

"What did you say?" Mrs. Lu heard Wu Laoliu say that Qiao Yun was lost in Quwo County, and the color on her old face suddenly faded away.

When he came back to his senses, he immediately confirmed with Wu Laoliu in a panic: "She is really lost?"

Could it be that he saw it wrong?

"It's absolutely true!" Old Man Wu was in his seventies and skinny. When he became anxious, he became more and more trembling, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed into a ball. "I'm afraid that she will be abducted by a kidnapper."

Run and find it quickly!"

Mrs. Li was also anxious. She was the one who took Qiao Yun to that ruined temple to make her faint with medicine, and she was even given such clothes to wear. She would definitely freeze to death overnight!

How could he run to the county seat?

She was a stupid person, so she blurted out: "How is that possible! I obviously..." "We told her not to run around after all the instructions! This child, why is she disobedient!"

Ms. Lu hurriedly interrupted Ms. Li's words, and turned to glare at Ms. Li.

She was angry and anxious. This squinting thing would definitely cause trouble!

Country people can be forgiven for selling their children, but if they kill them with their own hands, others will stab them in the spine!

Everyone in the neighborhood knew that the Qiao family was not a family that could not afford food. The family could still provide for Qiao San to study in the county, and they could also provide a betrothal gift for Qiao San to marry the daughter of the county father-in-law.

In his family, even if he sells his children, he will be gossiped about!

After all, Qiao Yun is the granddaughter of the first one. If the people around her knew that Qiao Yun's parents were sold by her before they had even passed a hundred days, let alone Lu, Qiao San would not be able to raise his head in front of his classmates.

Mrs. Lu beat her chest and howled twice, trying her best to show her anxiety: "Yunya, your life is miserable! This child's parents just left, and now he encounters such bad luck again! Old Wu, it's lucky that you came to take care of it.

This tells me, if something bad happens to her again, how will I explain it to the old man after I kick my leg? It’s just that there are so many people in the county, it’s not easy for us to find her. Do you still have time to run over? Let’s go report it to the official.

, let the government help!”

With the weather like this, the government officials had already gone out of office a long time ago. Even if there were government officials on night shift, Wu Laoliu would never be able to smear the driver after it got dark.

Mr. Lu knew this very well.

It's just that her acting skills are superb and her acting is very well done. After all, Wu Laoliu is not familiar with her. At this moment, he was frightened by her attitude. He thought she was a loving grandmother who really loved her granddaughter, so he said it was too late.

I will go to the county town early in the morning.

After sending Wu Laoliu away, Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and cursed at Mrs. Li angrily: "If you can't afford a ruined thing, you can't do it even if you ask for it. Let me make a baby and let her run away!"

"

"How is that possible? The amount of sweat medicine I gave her was enough to knock down an old cow!"

Li was also anxious, but also a little guilty.

Mrs. Lu told her to wait until the person died before coming back, but she didn't dare. She just let the person into the temple and ran away. But in order to ensure that the person would freeze to death, she specially opened the temple door. In this cold weather,

She will be dead in less than an hour!

Could it be, could it be haunted?

"Tell me, is it possible that Da Ya has faked the corpse? Then, the statue of the Earth God is watching from above..."

"Bah!" Mrs. Lu spat on the ground, a fierce light flashed in her rat-like eyes, "Fart, if the land was spiritual, his temple wouldn't be in such ruins. If she was really abducted,

It would be better if she ran away, but I'm afraid she ran away on her own. We'd better go to the county to have a look tomorrow."

"Mom, what's wrong?" Qiao Zaohua heard the noise, opened the curtain and came out of the house.

When Mrs. Lu saw this little daughter, the anger on her face calmed down a bit: "Zaohua'er, come with me to Quwo County tomorrow."

Qiao Zaohua was a little confused. What was she doing in the county in such a cold weather? She preferred sleeping on the kang to blowing the cold wind.

The Lu family had a daughter at an old age, and she doted on Qiao Zaohua. Normally, she would definitely not let Qiao Zaohua go out early in the morning and suffer.

Although Qiao Yun usually kept quiet, she was not stupid. Now that Mrs. Zhen was tortured to death by the Qiao family, Mrs. Lu was worried that if Qiao Yun was not dead and she ran away, she might come and bite her someday.

One bite.

"Wu Laoliu said that Qiao Yun was lost in the county. Let's go to the county to look for her tomorrow." Mrs. Lu slowed down her tone and looked at Qiao Zaohua.

****

On the second day, before dawn, Yunji Chao Food Shop opened.

The reason why she used Yunji instead of Qiaoji as the name of the store was because Qiao Yun did not want the Qiao family who came to the county to associate this store with her for no reason.

There was a banquet hanging under the eaves, with the words "Yun Ji Chao Shi" written on it - it cost a lot of money to make a banquet outside, but she made this banquet in the game.

There are six charcoal stoves facing out from the entrance of the store, four of which have tall drawers stacked on them, which are emitting tempting heat; the other two charcoal stoves have extra-large casseroles with porridge stewed in them.

There are also bamboo baskets covered with several thick mattresses on the counter inside the house, used to hold two kinds of cakes.

The door of the house opened outwards, and there were nails on the door, and there were several wooden signs hanging with the words "today's delivery" written on it. Qiao Yun was standing behind the table in the house.

The cakes provided today are baked sweet rice cakes and scallion pancakes baked with iron spatulas; the big buns include fresh meat, cabbage and tofu; the small steamed buns are made with red bean paste, mushrooms and coriander, and casserole.

The stew is mung bean, millet porridge and red bean and barley porridge.

The surrounding shops are getting ready to open one after another, but no one has come to have breakfast yet.

Some people who got up early to go to work in the nearby alleys occasionally stopped when passing by. Most of them looked very curious and didn't dare to try.

A few minutes later, Qiao Yun saw Mrs. Wang coming this way carrying a basket and a food box, twisting Fu Tai's waist.

Seeing the open shop, Wang's eyes widened in surprise, and then she laughed.

Originally, she wanted to come to cheer her up, and she also planned that if she didn't have time to open the store today, she would buy breakfast somewhere else, but she never thought that this little lady would be so quick, which made her regret walking more.

Mrs. Wang circled the charcoal stove at the door twice and said with a smile: "Hey, the things are quite complete. Miss Qiao, what do you have here and how do you sell them?"

Qiao Yun immediately moved over from behind the table, greeted her with a smile, told about the food provided today, and added: "Daoxiang pancakes cost two cents, scallion pancakes cost three cents, and meat buns cost one cent each."

, vegetarian steamed buns cost one penny; Xiaolongbao, whether meat or vegetable, costs two cents a basket. Buy steamed buns and cakes and get a bowl of millet porridge and two side dishes for free. Red bean barley porridge and millet porridge are sold separately for two cents a bowl."

Is this the same price as the stuff at Ding Shi Ji in the county? The lady at the grocery store next door shook her head.

Although the price is not expensive, Ding Shi Ji is a large restaurant and the food inside is delicious. The price charged by Ding Shi Ji is not excessive. Can the food sold by a young lady at a Chao Food Shop be as delicious as those in a restaurant?

?

Compared with the cooking standards of ordinary people, her price may not be worth it.

The crowd of onlookers also tended to disperse.

Wang's family is rich, and she just received a deposit of 200 yuan from Qiao Yun yesterday, so she doesn't care about the price.

Her two sons are both unworthy. They only know how to sneak around all day long if they don't study hard. If it weren't for the child's father to control them, Mrs. Wang would be angry to death from those two brats.

Now compared with such a well-behaved and mature little lady like Qiao Yun, Mrs. Wang wished she could have given birth to Qiao Yun herself.

Qiao Yun opened the steamer of steamed buns and showed it to Mrs. Wang.

As soon as the lid of the steamer is opened, a burst of hot air hits your face, carrying a strong aroma of meat. This is an aroma that can only be revealed in steamed buns with enough meat filling!

For a moment, the people around who were about to leave froze in their steps and couldn't help but look into the cage.

After the thick heat dissipated a little, one could suddenly see half-palm-sized buns lying in the large cage. They were white and flawless, and even the pleats on them were very neat. Those big white and fat meat buns,

It seems to be tempting people to eat!

"Then bring me two scallion pancakes, four fresh meat buns, and two large bowls of red bean and barley porridge." Wang said with a happy face as she handed over the basket and food box.

"Okay." Qiao Yun took out two pieces of oil paper, wrapped six scallion pancakes and four steamed buns, put them in the basket, took out two small plates, filled them with one plate of spicy cabbage, one plate of pickled radish, and then put them in the basket.

Wrap them in oil paper and put them in the basket.

The food box Wang took was a small ceramic bucket, similar to a modern thermos bucket. She clearly poured two large bowls of red bean and barley porridge into it.

The moment the casserole was opened, the sweetness of the barley and red beans that had been simmered for a long time naturally slipped out with the heat as the lid was lifted. Some onlookers could no longer resist the clamor of their stomachs, and at that moment someone strode in.

He picked a place to sit down in a small shop and shouted: "Bring me two big meat buns and a bowl of barley porridge!"

If someone makes this start, the rest of the situation will be much easier.
