Chapter 29 The Cao Family
The door of the Wang family's powder shop was closed.

Like Qiao Yun's Chaoshi shop, this shop has the layout of the front shop and the backyard, but because Wang's shop happens to be located at the corner of the street, the shops that usually enter and exit are opened on the side of the west wing instead of the back.

There is a small window facing the street in the side room connected to the west wing, and the sweet smell of steamed rice wafts out from inside.

Red lacquered wooden doors are pasted with bright red couplets and blessing characters, and red lanterns are also hung on the corners of the eaves. Because the alley is shady, there is still snow on the eaves, red and white shine, 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! Miss Qiao's family!"

The spatula in the house fell into the pot with a bang, and Wang's voice changed from near to far and then closer, and then there was a creak, and the door was opened inward, revealing Wang's face.

She was still wearing her apron and presumably she had just been cooking.

Wang was both surprised and delighted: "Little girl, I haven't seen you for a long time! This is—your mother?"

Xue Mei Niang nodded slightly, bowed her body and performed the most common blessing gift for ordinary girls: "My surname is Yun, and my little girl has been taken care of by you. I also thank you for giving our mother and daughter a home. I would like to thank you."

Qiao Yun tilted her head, this was the first time Xue Meiniang mentioned her surname.Is her surname really Yun, or is she making up nonsense?
The figure of the woman in front of her is like a breeze blowing willows, making Wang's eyes fixed on Xue Mei Niang, and the surprise in her eyes cannot be hidden.

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 pour out such an easy-to-use facial cream by herself. Looking at her mother, she must have come from an extraordinary background.

After recovering from her senses, Mrs. Wang hurriedly bowed her head and saluted, calling out to the sister of the Yun family, and Qiao Yun held up the basket in due course.

"Aunt Wang, our family stewed mutton soup today, and I'll show you my cooking! Here is also the sugar I made for the stove. I made too much, so I'll show you some."

"Look at you guys, just come here, what are you bringing!"

Wang was overjoyed.

Mutton is precious!In a radius of more than ten miles around Quwo County, there is only one farmer who raises sheep. Apart from selling sheep to the county magistrate’s family, a few members’ families in the county, and several restaurants and inns, they can pull them to the butcher’s stall in a year. There are only two of them.

The butcher also absolutely refused to sell the whole thing, he had to carve off the different parts carefully until not even a trace of flesh was left on the bones.Mutton is the most valuable, followed by offal. In the end, the bones are also disassembled and sold to people for stewing soup.

Rare things are more expensive, and most people in the town can only buy a catty a year ago to go back to the tooth-beating festival. Usually, they still eat a lot of chicken, duck and pigs.

Wang's family is relatively well-off, and he didn't dare to buy mutton this year, so he only weighed half a catty of mutton scorpions and came back to supplement the children.

Qiao Yun has only opened a Chaoshi shop for less than a month, and she can cook mutton soup. It sounds like she has stewed a lot!

Could it be that her restaurant is so profitable?

But girl Yun is really good at crafting, that's okay.The steamed stuffed buns and porridge brought back that day were full of praise from the husband and son.

It's just that at such a young age, she knows how to make dough and is good at cooking. Where did she learn this skill?

It's about talent!Wang smacked her lips, she was really envious.

Yun Xuemei took the basket from Qiao Yun's hand, handed it to Mrs. Wang, and said, "My daughter's poor workmanship made you laugh. I came to bother you during lunch time. If you are causing trouble to Sister Wang, we won't bother you any more." ..."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly grabbed the two of them: "It's hard for you to worry about it so much, since you've come all the time, sister, why don't you go after a meal!"

"Today is a new year, how can I disturb your family's sharing of the family?"

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

Yun Xuemei planned to be polite, but she couldn't hold back because Wang really wanted to invite her to dinner.Life and death dragged the man into the courtyard and locked the door behind him.Turning around and yelling towards the backyard: "Mother, there are guests!"

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

Don't look at Yun Xuemei's cute bunny-like expression in front of Qiao Yun, once she goes outside and needs an adult to support her, she is not bad at all.

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

Mrs. Cao is in her fifties and sixteen years old. In ancient times, she was already a very old lady. She has skin and white hair, but she is full of energy. One can tell that her life is extremely comfortable.

After Mrs. Wang invited her mother-in-law to meet Yun Xuemei and Qiao Yun, she went to the kitchen to continue working.Qiao Yun originally wanted to ask if she could help, but was repeatedly rejected by Wang.

"I invite people to dinner, and then I let the guests into the kitchen to help, where do I put my face when it gets out? You and your mother go and wait later!"

Qiao Yun was grateful for Wang's straightforwardness.Then I thought about going into someone's kitchen when I was a guest for the first time, which seemed really inappropriate, so I gave up.

"Okay, then just a few random dishes. My mother and I are used to simple meals, so don't worry about it."

"What's the trouble? Although you are young and good at cooking, don't underestimate me, ma'am. With the bucket of mutton soup you stewed as a foundation, are you afraid that I won't be able to cook decent meals?"

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

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

The courtyard with two entrances has no upside-down seats and rear-covered rooms. It is square and square, in the pattern of Japanese characters.On weekdays, Mrs. Cao lived in the main courtyard, Wang and his wife lived in the West Wing, and the East Wing was for their two sons.

The yard was tidied up and divided into four pieces of yellow land by the stone road.One piece was opened up as a vegetable garden, and an eggplant rack was set up inside.On the other side, there is a jujube tree that has been around for many years, which belongs to a round stone table and five stone benches.

Of course, those in the winter will definitely not eat in the yard.

In the main room where Mrs. Cao lives, there is a large kang under the window, which can accommodate two tables.

This kang has been constantly burning firewood, and the heat is so hot that the whole family usually eats on this kang table.

Mrs. Cao dragged Yun Xuemei and Qiao Yun to the kang, and since they were guests, she let them sit on the table, and called her two good grandchildren, and after seeing the guests, they sat on the other side of the table and stayed for dinner later. It's time to squeeze to the next table with the child's father.

Cao Qingye wasn't there, he was helping his mother-in-law prepare the meals ahead!
Although he really can't do delicate work as a big bastard, it's not a problem to help his wife watch the fire and wipe 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. It's unlucky for people to dislike widows like that, but they became more enthusiastic.

Qiao Yun has been eating and drinking for more than half a month, and her cheeks have finally seen some flesh, and she puts skin care cream on her face every day as if she doesn't need money. Although she is still a little thinner and doesn't meet the current aesthetics, she is definitely a beauty. A little lady with red lips and white teeth.The old lady Cao was so in love with her, she has been dominating Qiao Yun ever since she got on the kang, letting her sit in her thin arms.

The two boys are not very old. They are seven or eight years old, and they are commonly known as dogs in the country. At this time, most of the boys are addicted to cricket fighting, cricket fighting with neighbors’ children, or a large number of children get together to learn. When the general fought in the war, he didn't look down on the little girls who only embroidered in the house and were so delicate that they loved to 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 talked to each other, just making things difficult for Qiao Yun that ordinary girls would not know.

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

These little kids!How dare she compare her knowledge reserve with a college student who has received compulsory education and successfully passed the college entrance examination!
"Of course I know! His Majesty Taizong's bravery back then is well-known! If it weren't for him, how could we have a good life now?" Although she didn't know which Taizong they were talking about, but since it was Taizong, and Participating in the fight against the world, it must not be the chariot gods of Gaolianghe, so there is nothing wrong with boasting.

Afterwards, Qiao Yun changed the subject and said mysteriously, "Then do you two know the story of Nezha conferring gods?"
