The next day, Qiu Ya and Ju Ya got up early, made breakfast, and cleaned the yard. When Lin Xiaoman woke up, breakfast was already on the table.

In contrast, Chun Ya and Qing Ya really seemed to be guests at someone else's house.

Lin Xiaoman said: "Qiuya, can you make chicken soup?"

Knowing that Lin Xiaoman said to make chicken soup, it should be for her mother, Qiuya nodded vigorously, "I will!"

Lin Xiaoman rubbed the top of her head with a smile, "I'll go to the village to buy a few chickens later, you cook a pot of chicken soup for my aunt every day, if my aunt doesn't like millet porridge, you can roll some noodles Cook it with chicken soup for her to drink. And the medicine prescribed by the doctor, don't forget to fry it twice a day for the old aunt to drink."

Qiuya patted her chest to promise not to forget, but Chunya was upset because of Lin Xiaoman's neglect of her, "Big cousin, I will too."

However, Lin Xiaoman didn't even look at her, and told Juya, "When your third sister is working, you stay by my aunt's side and watch over Wuya, don't let her be carried away."

When Ju Ya heard that she had arranged work for her, she immediately regained her spirits, "Don't worry, big cousin, I will definitely take good care of my sister."

Chunya wanted to say something, but was pulled by Qingya, so she bit her lip unwillingly and stopped talking.

At this time, Lin Xiaoman looked at them, "Chunya, Qingya, you two are not young anymore, there is no such a big girl in our country who is still waiting for food at home, if you two are free, go up the mountain with the villagers Let’s chop firewood. This year, we have a kang at home, and we will use a lot of firewood to burn the kang in winter.”

Both Chunya and Qingya looked reluctant, but after seeing Lin Xiaoman's cold eyes, they swallowed back their objection.

After dinner, Qiuya went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Lin Erhu went to Lin Daqiang's house to continue collecting hazelnuts, Lin Xiaoman bought chicken and sent it home, and then went to the city.

On the way back yesterday, although I bought a lot of things for the children, there were no such things as small clothes and quilts. There is no cotton cloth here. She wants to buy some silk cloth and come back to make some clothes and quilts for the children. Some diapers.

When I came to the city, I went to shopkeeper Feng first, but I didn’t come to the city for a few days, and shopkeeper Feng paid Lin Xiaoman more than 100 taels of silver. , Save one shop after another, and when the two tigers talk about marriage, they can choose a shop with relatively good conditions.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, Lin Xiaoman likes beautiful people, and Lin Erhu is also in the same line. Both siblings are face-controlling like their mother.

Coming out of the cloth shop, Lin Xiaoman had a large bag of shredded silk on his back.I also bought a few feet of good silk.

Go to Shen Osmanthus's skewer shop, you can smell the aroma of barbecue from a long distance, but you can't see the people who are grilling the meat. There are people around there, and if you listen carefully, you can hear someone shouting: "Here I am. A handful of mutton skewers."

"I want a chicken leg, a chicken skeleton, and a plate of roasted leeks."

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, my baked tofu..."

When Lin Xiaoman came over, Lin Xiangxing and Shen Guihua were busy serving grilled skewers to the guests, while Lin Youfu was grilling them in full swing in front of the brick oven.

It was already cold tomorrow, and Lin Youfu standing in front of the oven was still sweating from the heat, but he kept smiling on his dark and thin face, and from time to time he could chat with the customers who were waiting for the skewers next to him.

The shop has a small facade, with a few tables inside and a lot of small stools outside. Many people sat on the small stools, holding grilled skewers in their hands, and licking them.

There are even more people who buy less and eat directly around the stove.

Seeing Lin Xiaoman approaching, Lin Youfu shouted into the shop: "Xiang Xing, Xiaoman is here."

Lin Xiangxing had just finished delivering skewers to the house, when she heard her father yelling, she ran out immediately and pulled Lin Xiaoman, "Come on, let's go into the house."

Lin Xiaoman saw the joyful smile on her face, knowing that she was busy these days, and had long forgotten the things about Li Tiezhu's house before, so she felt at ease.

Shen Guihua called Lin Youfu, "Bake some mutton skewers for Xiaoman, Xiaoman likes to eat that."

Lin Youfu agreed, moving his hands swiftly.

Lin Xiaoman was pushed at a small table by Lin Xiangxing, and Shen Guihua came over with a bowl of sour plum soup, "Xiaoman, drink it to quench your thirst."

Lin Xiaoman was also thirsty. He took it up and drank the whole bowl in one gulp. Shen Osmanthus was going to serve it, but Lin Xiaoman stopped him, "Aunt Osmanthus, I'm not thirsty anymore."

After finishing speaking, he took another look at Xiaoliang in their house. Although the store is not big, the customer flow is really not small. A store of this size is obviously not enough.

Moreover, it will be cold in a few days. They can freeze people to death in the cold winter here, and they can't let Lin Youfu bake outside all the time. Lin Xiaoman asked, "Aunt Osmanthus, have you thought about changing rooms?" The shop you ordered, how many more people should you hire to cook skewers?"

Shen Guihua smiled, "When I discussed opening a skewer shop with you Shiqi Ye, I was afraid that the business would fail and I would lose money, so I didn't dare to rent too much. Now it seems that this small shop is really not enough, so I just thought about it." Rent the shop next door together. It used to be a tavern, and there is a kitchen in the back. Then I will let you Shiqiye bake in the kitchen, and you will not be afraid of freezing in winter. But I haven't found an owner. The past few days I am inquiring about it with someone. But some people say that the owner is not from Qingping County, maybe he has returned to his hometown, and I don’t know where his hometown is.”

Lin Xiaoman said: "What's the difficulty? I'll go to the yamen to ask later. Since I bought a shop in Qingping County, there should be a record in the yamen. I'll see where it is from. If it's not far away, please Just ask someone in the past.”

Shen Guihua saw that Lin Xiaoman said it was so easy to go to the Yamen to ask, even knowing that she and the county magistrate were acquaintances, she was a little speechless for a while.

Lin Xiaoman gave some suggestions, helped Shen Guihua think about adding a few new dishes, and then went to the county government.

Lu Jin was asking the case in the second hall. As soon as Lin Xiaoman arrived at the yamen, he saw Bantou Zhao coming out. When he saw Lin Xiaoman, Bantou Zhao immediately smiled, "It's the shopkeeper, you're here to find the magistrate? "

Lin Xiaoman quickly waved his hands, "No, it's just that my relatives want to rent the shop of Ruyi Tavern, but they can't find the owner, so they want to come to the yamen to find someone to help check."

"Oh, it's all trivial, I'll take you there."

Lin Xiaoman thanked him, followed Zhao Bantou to the room where the county government kept documents, and there was a small official inside who was copying something. Seeing Zhao Bantou bringing Lin Xiaoman in, he was startled for a while, and then smiled: "It's the shopkeeper. Ah, do you still want to buy land today?"

Lin Xiaoman recognized that this little official was one of the people who went to Hedong Village to help measure the land that day, and thanked him first, "Thank you uncle for your help that day, I came today to ask uncle to help find out who the owner of Ruyi Tavern is. Someone in my family wants to rent that shop."

The little official had an impression of the Ruyi Tavern, and asked: "Is it the Ruyi Tavern where someone died drinking at his place before and lost 20 taels of silver?"
