Dressed as a blacksmith

Chapter 34

Today's introduction was led by Ming Chen, and Qiao Yuan was only responsible for settling accounts and collecting money, but it was much easier.

Seeing that there are more people today than yesterday, Lin Cuifen was so happy from ear to ear, "I didn't expect the best selling meat muffins today!"

Xu Shi had a good meal with Longjing tea in Yuhu spring meat muffins yesterday, but the meat muffins were sold out as soon as the shop opened today.

The next best seller was chicken cakes, and a few boys who brought their own food boxes came to the door one after another, and most of them were removed.Seeing that many of them were customers who visited yesterday, Qiao Yuan felt relieved.

On the other side, Yu Dameng found a well-sinking team, and took the leader of the well-sinking team home to investigate first.

He had already told Father Yu that he wanted to drill a well for them in the old house, and Father Yu said that it is best to choose a well near the old house. Outside, many nearby households can use it, which is a good thing to accumulate merit.In this way, the well that Yu Dameng and Qiao Yuan dug in their own house will not be too enviable and enviable.

Yu Dameng thought for a while, and felt that what his father said was reasonable, so he acted on what he said.

The leader of the sinking team is Zhou Qiang. When he heard that it was Xianhe Village, he felt that the business was done. "Xianhe Village is guaranteed to be the best place to dig. It is near the river, and every time you dig one, you can rest assured that we will pay ten taels of silver for one mouthful." Well, until it is finished with you. But you can buy the bricks for the walls of the well yourself, or you can entrust us to buy them, and they are not within ten taels of silver."

Everything in the shop was busy, so Yu Dameng simply let him take care of it all.

During the slack season, many people in the village gather outside to play chess and chat to pass the time.Seeing Yu Dameng leading a stranger in, he couldn't help asking a few questions.

When they found out that this person was a member of the well-drilling team, and they wanted to dig a well near Yu's house, everyone in the village could do it. It was a sensation, and they all followed to join in the fun. Anyone with a bright heart would have gone to call the village chief long ago.

"This is a great thing! Our ancestors have been able to do it for generations!"

"There is a well in the middle of our village! My family lives in that area, and it's far away to pick water."

The village chief rushed over after hearing the news and was very excited. He had long wanted to dig a well in the middle of Xianhe Village.But ten taels of silver is not a small amount, and the villagers are not willing to pay, especially those near the wells, even if they are near the well, they will not take it out even if they mention it several times.Now that the Yu family had to pay for it themselves, he suggested that the village should pay for the well-sinking team's food for the next few days.

Those who were near the well were not very happy, saying that they didn’t need it, and they were scolded by others one by one as soon as they started talking, and went home by themselves in embarrassment.

The distance between each row of houses in the village is still relatively large. Yu Dameng negotiated with the village chief to decide on the location, which is just seven meters away from the old house.

The village head patted Yu Dameng on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry you in the city. I'm here to supervise the work. Your family has paid out money, so don't worry about anything else."

Yu Dameng nodded, and led Zhou Qiang home to look at the location, "There is no one at home in the past two days, so first dig the place you just looked at, and after the other side is finished, then dig the home."

Zhou Qiang was overjoyed, and two deals were concluded in one fell swoop.

At this moment, Yu Qiao Ji also ushered in another big business after Lai Kelou, the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Lu Mansion.

Qiao Yuan welcomed the butler of Lu's mansion to the elegant seat upstairs, and told him to watch tea tomorrow morning.

Butler Lu glanced at the decoration of the private seat, stroked his beard and said, "You are so elegant."

"You praise me." Qiao Yuan showed him the pattern we made for Laikelou before, and said intentionally: "This is the pattern we customized for Laikelou before. If you agree on your needs, we will also make it for your house. Make a pattern."

The three flower buns that I sent a servant to buy yesterday, the old lady and young lady in the mansion liked it very much, so Housekeeper Lu made up his mind to also buy flower buns for the old lady's birthday banquet for the distinguished guests to see. .However, now Qiao Yuan asked him to say that he really couldn't explain why, so he asked Qiao Yuan's opinion first.

The birthday banquet is particular, and the longevity peach can only be eaten by the old birthday people, implying the meaning of "prolonging life".Qiao Yuan said, "It's better to focus on birthday peaches. I can make many different styles of birthday peaches and pile them up like the Lai Ke Building, offering peaches to the elderly to celebrate their longevity."

"Gourds contain blessings and fortune. At that time, we can also make some gourd-shaped statues or statues of Magu offering birthdays. The four characters Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xi are placed on both sides of the birthday hall, and one step at a time. If the family is willing, it can also be customized Some gold ingots, gourds, and lucky bags are given as rewards to those who come to say congratulations, so that more people can celebrate the old lady’s birthday.”

Butler Lu felt that it was feasible, and the two parties agreed to look at the drawings in three days.

After he left, Qiao Yuan immediately asked Yu Shanwen to invite Qian Yun to discuss the design.

Lin Cuifen asked him nervously what was the matter, and Qiao Yuan told her about it.Lin Cuifen said: "Then hurry up and teach us how to make birthday peaches."

Mother is more motivated than him now, Qiao Yuan is happy, "Madam Lu's birthday party will be on the tenth day of the next month, and the shop is also busy, so I have to ask Brother Meng and Sister Meng for help."

"Both of them can be trusted." Lin Cuifen said.

Qiao Yuan nodded, yes, taking a step back, the basic longevity peaches are not a coincidence, but it depends on how the patterns on the longevity peaches are designed, it doesn't matter if the two of them learn it.In the past few days, Mingxu and Mingchen have to be trained intensively. When this business is completed, the shop will have to add more people, and there is a serious shortage of manpower.

Qian Yun put down his brush and hurriedly followed Yu Shanwen to Yuqiaoji. Since the last time he saw the grand opening of the guest building, he had been waiting for Qiao Yuan to find him, and even created a lot of drawings by himself during the period.

With the previous experience, the two communicated very smoothly. Qiao Yuan also said: "After the longevity peach pattern is drawn, I will continue to create some patterns of wedding banquets and children's full moon and new year. The patterns for rewards should be made into a separate volume. It is best to draw some things with good meanings, and it is best to indicate the explanation. For example, pomegranate, which means prosperity and prosperity, is suitable for wedding banquets, and draw thirty kinds of patterns for each item first. "

Qian Yun was naturally happy, and he would earn several taels of silver after all this.

When the shop was a little looser, Qiao Yuan called Mingxu and Mingchen to the back kitchen, "In a few days, there should be a big business of single flower buns in the shop, which is related to birthday banquets. Today I will teach you how to make birthday peaches , You must study hard, and if you perform well, you will be rewarded with a month's money if the business is successful."

Ming Xu and Ming Chen said yes again and again, the lord is still very scary when he is serious...

Qiao Yuan planned a total of sixteen styles of birthday peaches for the Lu Mansion in his mind, and the two divided them equally.The kneading method of birthday peaches is not difficult to learn. Ming Xu and Mingchen can do it very well after learning it five or six times. The difficulty lies in how to set up the birthday peaches and how to knead these scenes. This is the key point that the two need to master. .

Not wanting to chew too much, Qiao Yuan first arranged for them to practice one of them each day, step by step, and if they were dexterous, they would be able to draw inferences quickly, and the subsequent learning progress would also be accelerated.

The three of them were practicing in the back kitchen at the moment, but a handsome young man welcomed into the front shop over there, standing by the shelf, looking at the steamed buns on display today, motionless.

Seeing that he was dressed unusually and accompanied by attendants, Lin Cuifen was not sure, so she went to the back kitchen and called Qiao Yuan over.

"My lord, do you have any questions?"

The young man knew Qiao Yuan very well. As soon as he saw Qiao Yuan, he approached Qiao Yuan to flatter him and said, "Ah Hou said, the beckoning cats you made for him are very cute. Can you make a pair for me? I want to see them." look."

He is a very good-looking brother, with red lips and white teeth, and radiant eyes, as if he is talking about something serious.Qiao Yuan also smiled: "Of course, but it will take an hour."

The young master looked at the other shelves that were almost empty, and said, "Then I'll come back at this time tomorrow, and you leave me some of each snack."

As he spoke, he proudly took out a stack of bank notes from his cuff, "I'll give you the money!"

Qiao Yuan took a quick look and saw that they all started at a hundred taels, and he was envious in his heart, "You don't need such a lot, just one tael."

The young master took the bank note back resentfully, and the waiter at the side glanced at the price of the steamed buns on the shelf, stepped forward to pay two liang of silver and said with a smile: "Please help us to wrap these two steamed buns, too." .”

Qiao Yuan nodded and took the money, and Ming Chen quickly packed up the two types of steamed buns.

The young master took the bamboo box that was supposed to be carried by the waiter first, looked around and said, "It's so cute."

Qiao Yuan: "..."

Really otherworldly!

When you came home from work, there were many spectators around the old house.

The Yu family became the focus of the crowd, especially Lin Cuifen and Qiao Yuan were surrounded by a bunch of husbands and women.

"Brother Yuan looks really good."

"Brother Yuan is really capable and promising!"

"Brother Yuan's shop..."

Qiao Yuan couldn't stand the enthusiasm of these people, so he pulled Yu Dameng back under the cover of Lin Cuifen!

He really just wanted to see how the well was doing!

I haven't talked to my little husband alone all day, and when there were only two of them on the road, Yu Dameng took Qiao Yuan's hand and asked him, "Are you tired?"

Qiao Yuan liked that Yu Dameng was nervous about him, and when he heard this, his eyes were filled with smiles, and he lost his shape, shaking Yu Dameng's arm to play tricks, "I'm exhausted, I'm exhausted, I'm exhausted."

Yu Dameng's face was a little red, and he lowered his eyebrows and raised his eyes, "Then...then I will give you massage tonight."

"Evening?" Qiao Yuan was overjoyed, and leaned into Yu Dameng's ear, deliberately teasing him: "Did you think about that?"

Sure enough, Yu Dameng's head was about to drop into the ground, "I...I didn't."

"Oh, that's it." Qiao Yuan deliberately elongated his voice, and stopped holding his hand.

Ben also planned to give him a big gift!What a fool!

Yu Dameng was startled, and quickly followed Xiao Fulang, but he didn't know what to say to make him unhappy.

Qiao Yuan suppressed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and Yu Dameng, who was in charge of making dinner, turned around.Yu Dameng didn't dare to complain at all, he had to see if the little husband's complexion improved from time to time.

However, that night, Yu Dameng still received that big gift.
