Yan Xiao saw Cai He frowning and asked, "Why is Boss Cai frowning?"
"I'm a little curious. It is said that Mr. Zhuyao has great literary talent and is very good at writing hard words. Why does this letter look a little sloppy?"
Yan Xiao smiled sheepishly and said, "This character is actually not my brother's, it was written by me."
"Oh, it's clear."
After Yan Xiao came out of Mo Xiang Bookstore, his face turned slightly red. It felt like the embarrassment he felt when the teacher asked him in class, "Why are your handwriting so ugly?"
After delivering the poem manuscript, Yan Xiao headed towards the place where Qiao Yun lived.
When Yan Xiao was about to reach Qiao Yun's icing on the cake, she turned into a deserted alley, took out the baggage with clothes and carried it on her back. When she arrived at the place where Qiao Yun lived, Su Niang was also there, and she saw Yan Xiao wearing
Dressed in men's clothing and carrying a baggage, he joked: "Oh, Miss Yan, has she run away from home?"
Yan Xiao stood at the foot of the steps and looked up at Su Niang and said, "Yes, I ran away from home, is my sister willing to take me in?"
"Easy to say, of course I have to take in my sisters." Su Niang walked down the steps and walked up to Yan Xiao, looked at her carefully and said, "Although your makeup is not as good as Qiaoyun's, it's still
Not bad.”
Hearing this, Yan Xiao raised his chin proudly, looked at Su Niang and said, "Yeah, I think my painting today is pretty good."
The two of them had been talking for a while, but before they saw Qiaoyun, Yan Xiao asked, "Why don't you see Sister Qiaoyun?"
"After the Chinese Valentine's Day, many women came here to order clothes, and some even arrived at dawn. Qiaoyun is in the embroidery room with the embroidery girls to meet the deadline!"
Yan Xiao nodded, turned around and looked at Su Niang and said, "Why do I seem to see you every time I come here? Are you staying at Sister Qiaoyun's place?"
"What? Aren't you happy to see me?" Su Niang said, putting her hand on Yan Xiao's shoulder.
Yan Xiao took Su Niang's hand off his shoulder and said, "That's not true, I'm just curious."
"Didn't you see the carriage at the door when you came in? I'm here to deliver cloth to Qiaoyun." Su Niang pulled Yan Xiao into the house.
Yan smiled and said, "I saw it, but it was different from the car I rode in last time. I thought someone came to ask Sister Qiaoyun to make clothes."
"The carriage I rode in last time was my family's carriage, and the carriage outside is my shop's carriage, specially used for delivering goods." Su Niang explained.
"Where is Zi Yan? I want to talk to Sister Qiaoyun about something." Yan Xiao asked without looking at Zi Yan.
Su Niang picked up the cup on the table and poured tea for Yan Xiao. She said, "Of course Zi Yan followed Qiao Yun to the embroidery room."
"Oh!" Yan Xiao nodded.
"Well, I'll go find Qiaoyun. I think you must have more than one thing to say."
Yan Xiao nodded and said, "Indeed, I'll go with you!"
So, the two of them went to Qiaoyun's embroidery room together. The embroidery room they went to this time was different from the last one. There were fewer people in this embroidery room.
Zi Yan saw the two people first and said to her master: "Madam, Yan Xiao and Su Niang are here."
Only then did Qiao Yun look up, and sure enough it was Yan Xiao and Su Niang standing at the door. They quickly collected their words and explained to Zi Yan before coming out.
"Today, Xiaoxiao is here too!"
Yan Xiao nodded and said, "I came here today to change my sister's clothes. I have put the clothes in the room. In addition, I have a few drawings for my sister, but I also want them in the room."
Qiaoyun nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back to the room and talk."
After the three of them returned to the room, Yan Xiao opened the bag and said, "I wore these clothes on Chinese Valentine's Day and I have washed them. This drawing shows three sets of men's clothes. Sister, what do you think?"
Yan Xiao said and handed the drawing in his hand to Qiaoyun. Qiaoyun took it and looked at it and praised: "The patterns on this dress are very good. You must have put a lot of effort into it!"
"Sister is satisfied, as long as it can be sold!"
"Of course it can be sold."
Yan Xiao looked at the two sisters and said, "I'm going to open a restaurant. I've already thought about what to buy here."
"What should I buy for food?" Qiaoyun asked.
Yan Xiao said: "Hot pot!"
The two were a little surprised when they heard this and asked: "What does this hot pot mean?"
"Hot pot is simply a way of eating vegetables. There is a pot on top and a charcoal fire below. Put the cooked soup in the pot. When the soup boils, put the food in and cook. Wait until the food is cooked.
After it pops out, eat it with dipping sauce."
As Yan Xiao spoke, he dipped his hand in tea and drew on the table.
After Yan Xiao finished speaking, Qiao Yun and Su Niang looked at each other and said, "We think this way of eating is very interesting after hearing what you said, but if this thing is just cooked in a pot like this, will it taste good?"
Yan Xiao nodded and said, "Of course, how about this, sister, how about I borrow your kitchen?"
"Of course, do you want to make this hot pot?"
"Yes, I'll make it for you to try first. If you think it's okay, then I think you can buy this hot pot in Xunyang."
Qiao Yun took Yan Xiao to her kitchen, which was preparing meals for everyone in the house.
Qiaoyun said to Aunt Zhang who was in charge of cooking: "Aunt Zhang, this is my adopted sister Yanxiao. She wants to use the kitchen."
Aunt Zhang looked at it and said with some embarrassment: "But we are making lunch now, wouldn't this be inappropriate?"
Qiao Yun was about to say something, but Yan Xiao took Qiao Yun's hand and said, "It doesn't matter, like this, you and Sister Su will go to my house tomorrow and I will cook it for you."
"Go to your home?"
"Yes, go to my house. My mother-in-law has been invited to play and will not come back for four or five days, so it is very convenient for you to go to my house."
"good!"
After the two returned to the room, they discussed how big a shop they wanted. Yan Xiao made a rough calculation. It was the first time he was doing the hotpot business here and he wanted to buy a smaller shop.
But it would be better if the shop has two floors. The lower floor can be used for dine-in dining and the second floor can be equipped with exquisite private rooms, so that it can meet the needs of different customers.
When Su Niang heard about the shop that Yan Xiao wanted, she immediately said that she could help. Although her family was in the cloth business, she had a wide network of contacts, so she was sure to find a good shop.
Yan Xiao went home after having dinner at Qiaoyun's house. When he got home, he asked Sun's mother about the situation at home. She felt half at ease knowing that nothing happened at home today.
Then I went to Hong Zhao's place and asked if there was anything abnormal about Hong Zhao's health today. When I heard Hong Zhao say everything was fine, my heart dropped.
After that, Yan Xiao went back to his room and drew what the hot pot looked like. If he later secured a shop, he would find someone to make these things.
The next day, Yan Xiao got up early. After having breakfast with Mama Sun, he asked Mama Sun to stay at home and look after the house while he went out to do some shopping.
