Chapter 74 Gu Ran
After buying a bunch of jewellery, the shopkeeper graciously asked the store clerk to drive them to Yipin.

Mrs. Li felt much better after drinking the iced drink.

Dai Qingyun also ate the cherry ice, the sweet and sour ice was cold, um, it was really good.

"Auntie, sister Yun'er, these are dim sum made by my mother." Dayong was sitting on the wheelchair at this time, sliding the wheelchair roller with one hand, and holding a plate of dim sum with the other.

"Ah, you child, why did you still send something? You called auntie and went over to get it." Li Shi said distressedly. Dayong was disabled in his legs at a young age. As a mother, she always feels very sorry for such children .

"Brother Dayong, how does the wheelchair work? It's much more convenient?" Dai Qingyun looked at him with a smile.

"It's much more convenient. I've also helped the store a lot during this time." Dayong lowered his head and blushed, "It's all thanks to Sister Yun'er who came up with such a method."

"Yes, yes, Aunt Hua sees that Dayong can move more easily now, and I thank you in my heart." Aunt Hua came out of the kitchen, walked to Dayong, and said with a smile.

"Fellows from the village, thank you for what you say." Li Shi said angrily, "Now that Dayong is still young, I should send him to Huichun Hall to have a look at it earlier, then Dr. Feng is really a miracle doctor."

"That's right, I've also heard about Dr. Feng, but I haven't saved enough money." Aunt Hua became interested when she heard this, and chatted with Mrs. Li.

There are not many customers in the shop at the moment, Erlang came out from the warehouse, he waved to Qingyun, motioning for her to come over.

Dai Qingyun and the Li family said something, squeezed a snack and went to Erlang.

After entering the warehouse and accounting room, Erlang handed her the account book, "This is last month's revenue, take a look."

Dai Qingyun finished his snacks in two or three bites, clapped his hands, and took the account book, which recorded the daily turnover in detail. At the end of the day, the total income in July was 260 taels, and there were some scattered copper coins.

"It's not bad. Except for buying ice, buying materials, wages, and some scattered expenses every month, there is still a net profit of 150 or so taels a month." Dai Qingyun closed the account book, happily, although buying ice cubes is expensive. Big head, but the money is also shared equally with the Qin family.

The ice cubes sold out this summer can earn a lot of money, not to mention that the ice cubes used in the store are only small, and the real big one is that many people in the county will order ice cubes separately, which is really profitable. !
"Look at your money-losing look." Erlang smiled helplessly, "By the way, the Qin family has a distinguished guest today, and Mrs. Qin specially asked someone to tell her, and asked me to prepare some iced drinks for delivery."

Dai Qingyun rubbed his chin, and asked gossipingly, "Is the distinguished guest here the eldest prince?"

"I didn't tell me about it, but it's rumored that it's true. I guess it is." Erlang raised his eyebrows and put the ledger back.

"Then you have to be careful in the past, don't make any mistakes." Dai Qingyun curled her lips. She thought that these nobles in TV dramas can kill a commoner at every turn. If Erlang makes him unhappy, Squeezing him is not like crushing an ant.

"What are you thinking about?" Erlang gave her a shuddering speechless, "Don't think about it."

Dai Qingyun covered his head, feeling aggrieved, "I'll tell my grandma to beat me up when I get home."

After that, she rolled her eyes and went to the bar to help.

At this moment, Dai Qingyi is carefully arranging the cherries in the bowl, which are to be sent to the Qin family.

Cherry ice seems to be simple, but in fact it still requires some tricks.

The bowl that holds the ice is not big, and there is a layer of crushed milk ice on the bottom of the bowl, and then some crushed ice is squeezed into a round shape, and some cherry juice is poured on it, and it is placed in the bowl, which can fit three small ice balls. Just put a few cherries on the side of the bowl, and finally pour the cherry juice on it.

"Sister Yi'er, you are getting better and better now." Dai Qingyun looked at her approvingly.

"Miss Yi'er is really good. She can make all the drinks in our shop, and many customers say that the ones she makes taste better." Aunt Lan said while making tea.

"Yes, Miss Yi'er has helped us a lot these days, which has lightened our workload a lot." Aunt Cui brought a new basin of ice cubes from the kitchen and put them in the big bowl at the bottom of the food box.

"I'm not as good as you say, I'll pack an iced drink and send it to the Qin family." Dai Qingyi's face became hot, and she was a little unaccustomed to being praised like this.

She is the one with the least sense of presence in Dai's family. She is not like the eldest sister who is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, nor is she lively and cute like Rong'er, nor is she as intelligent as Yun'er.

She has a cowardly personality. When she was in Fucheng, she would always be laughed at by other official ladies. She was not like the daughter of the Dai family, but like a villager.

"Sister Yi'er, auntie and the others praise you because you are indeed like this, so you can't belittle yourself." Dai Qingyun smiled and helped her put the ice bowl into the food box.

Erlang also came over, "Third sister is good at crafts, but she is a bit shy, come with me to Qin's house later."

He guessed that these noble people from the capital would be curious about how to make these iced drinks, and it would be the safest thing to bring Yi'er.

"I won't go, there will be too many people in the store later." Dai Qingyi waved her hands quickly when she heard that, she knew that the Qin family was hosting distinguished guests today, if she made a fool of herself, not only would the Qin family be hurt, but the Qin family would also be hurt. It might even hurt the Dai family...

"Let's go, it's time, it's not right to be late." Erlang Quan pretended not to hear, he just wanted to cultivate Yier's cowardly temperament so that she would not be bullied in the future.

Dai Qingyun also urged her to leave quickly, don't neglect the distinguished guests.

Dai Qingyi had no choice but to follow.

At this time, Li Shi and Aunt Hua finished chatting, and she called Yun'er to go back.

Dai Qing agreed, washed his hands, greeted Aunt Cui and the others, and went out.

Uncle Niu put the things he bought in first, and the mother and son got into the car.

……

In the carriage, Dai Qingyun hugged Kogoro and teased him, while Li Shi opened the package to check the jewelry accessories he bought today.

"Hey, why didn't I think of giving it to Erlang and Yi'er just now, look at my memory." Li Shi held a plain hairpin in one hand and a pair of delicate earrings in the other.

"I didn't remember either. I took it home and gave it to them later." Dai Qingyun pinched Goro's face, and Xiao Goro was drooling when he pinched it.

"Hey, how old are you, and you still drool." Dai Qingyun pretended to be disgusted, and wiped his saliva with a drool bag.

Li Shi chuckled, "You were drooling when you were older than Goro."

The mother and daughter were chatting happily when the ox cart stopped abruptly. Due to inertia, the three of them fell towards the car door. Li Shi hurriedly put his hands on to protect Yun'er and her brother. Her head hit the door frame with a bang.

"Mother! Are you okay!" Dai Qingyun hugged Xiao Wulang tightly and looked at Li Shi anxiously.

Mrs. Li did it again, and rubbed her head with one hand, feeling a little dizzy, "Mother is fine."

"Miss Madam, are you all right?" Uncle Niu hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car, "A child was pushed over by the side of the road just now. Fortunately, I pulled the rope fast enough, otherwise the big ox must have stepped on it."

Upon hearing this, Dai Qingyun's mother and daughter hurriedly looked in front of the car, and sure enough there was a boy in tattered clothes lying on the ground, looking as if he had passed out.

"Damn it these days, is there any law left!" Mrs. Li rubbed her head with one hand, and got out of the car with the hem of her skirt in the other.

Dai Qingyun hugged Xiao Wulang and followed, asking Uncle Niu to hold Xiao Wulang.

The sun was shining right now, the boy on the ground had disheveled hair, his face was dirty, and his lips were dry and peeled. The children who pushed him just now had already disappeared.

"It's poor, Yun'er brought him a bamboo tube to feed him some water." Li lifted the little boy up halfway, straightened his hair, and didn't dislike the smell on his body.

Dai Qingyun handed the bamboo tube to Li Shi, and after Li Shi fed the little boy a few sips of water, the little boy had the strength to slowly open his eyes.

He first looked at Mrs. Li, and then saw Dai Qingyun who was bending over and staring at him. He pursed his lips, "Qing, sister Qingyun?"

Dai Qingyun and Li Shi wondered how this child knew her. Dai Qingyun wet his handkerchief with water and wiped his face, only then did he recognize that it was Gu Ran!
"Gu Ran?" Dai Qingyun was very surprised. Last year, after Gu Ran's grandma returned her copper coins, she found a job as a laundry and doing chores. After that, Dai Qingyun didn't see them. Why is Gu Ran here alone now? Worse than last year?
"Yun'er, do you know him?" Li Shi couldn't bear to leave the child behind, and carried him into the carriage. She only felt that the child was too light, and weighed about the same as Shiro.

While explaining to her, Dai Qingyun fanned Gu Ran, who passed out after saying a word.

"It's poor too. Seeing that he hasn't eaten, he must have fainted from hunger." Shi Li frowned, and wiped his lips with a wet handkerchief soaked in water.

Dai Qingyun sighed slightly, Gu Ran didn't have his grandma by his side, I just wish it wasn't what I thought...

When we got home, the sun was about to set, so Li called Dai Zhixiao to take Gu Ran to the side room, and she took Yun'er to the main room to explain to Lin and the others.

"You take care of it first, and we'll talk about it when he wakes up." Lin frowned, the Dai family did not lack for this kind of food, but it was a bit inappropriate to raise such a child of unknown origin.

Dai Qingyun also nodded. Although she knew Gu Ran, who knew if his grandma lied to her at that time? Now that I think about it carefully, Grandma Gu said that she came here from famine, but she behaved very well in her words and actions. Unlike ordinary farmers.

Then there is Gu Ran, not to mention that he was born well, he is not a child of ordinary people at first glance, but now he can only wait for Gu Ran to wake up before asking what happened.

"Well, what mother said is right. I was also soft-hearted for a while. I'll ask him after he wakes up." Shi Li sighed, she was indeed moved with compassion.

Mr. Dai didn't say anything, he just said that the child is pitiful, and the rest can be arranged by Lin.

Dai Zhixiao helped Gu Ran take a bath and changed into clean clothes. This clothes was bought from Aunt Li's house. Dai's family didn't have clothes for ten-year-old children.

Lying on the bed clean and tidy, Gu Ran felt very comfortable on his body, and the quilt beside him was fragrant and soft. He hadn't dreamed of such a comfortable dream for a long time.
