Stepmother dressed as five villains

Chapter 30 Going to School
Qiao repeatedly negotiated the price with the shopkeeper.

The fresh powder material itself is not expensive, and she didn't charge too much. One tael only costs [-] Wen, which is almost enough to make ten dishes, which is equivalent to only [-] Wen for a dish, and the price is quite reasonable.

But it can't stand the fact that there are many branches in Sixilou, and there are also a lot of customer traffic.

The shopkeeper did a rough calculation, and the branch in Xiyang Town used up a catty of seafood powder a day, which was three hundred Wen.

When four or five branches are put together, more than one or two fresh noodles can be obtained every day.

After a month, it is three or 40 taels of silver.

The shopkeeper felt a bit heartbroken, but when he thought that Sixi Building could become bigger and stronger in the future, and his reputation could surpass Yunxi Building, he gritted his teeth and settled down.

Qiao repeatedly left with a deposit of ten taels.

The children were waiting for her at the gate of Sixi Tower, and Gu Cheng had already found the donkey cart, and went home as soon as she came out.

"There is no rush to go back for the time being." Qiao Lianlian went over to talk to the donkey cart master, and added an extra ten cents to help look at the tables, chairs, benches and the like.

Afterwards, the mother and the others went to Xiyang Town, where they bought some daily necessities and asked if there was any suitable private school.

"Mother, why are you asking about this?" Gu Que was a little puzzled.

"Before, my family was too poor and had no money, so I couldn't think too much. After all, food and clothing are the first priority. Now it's different, we have a fixed income, and we have to let Cheng'er go to school." Qiao Lianlian said.

Whether it's boxing or kung fu, whether it's dancing or writing, you have to learn one, so that you can have opportunities and be promising in the future.

Gu Cheng pursed his lips and did not speak.

In fact, he didn't want to go to Laoshizi School. In this era, anything related to writing is extremely expensive. There are many peasant families who have to tighten their belts in order to support a student.

He didn't want to be the one who made the whole family suffer.

But Qiao Lianlian seemed to know what he was going to say, before he could open his mouth, he said, "Mother can make money, and she will make money, and she will definitely support you all, not to mention you, when Zhong'er and Lou'er recover, You have to go to school too."

Gu Zhong has been taking eye drops recently, and his eyesight is getting better day by day, and now he can see the shadow of people five feet away, and after a while, he should be able to go to school.

The more serious problem now is Gu Lou, this kid eats and drinks foolishly every day, heartless, but Qiao Lian is full of worries.

It took too long for his leg to heal, and it would have to be cut and reattached in order to grow back.

Qiao Lian couldn't bear to let a child suffer the pain of a broken leg, even though he had anesthetics in his laboratory.

That's why she didn't do it for a long time.

But procrastinating is not an option. It is easier for children to recover when they are young, so this matter has to be put on the agenda.

On the street, Gu Lou was still happily looking at the food in other people's hands, and he didn't know what kind of pain he would have to find him in the future.

"Mom, I want to eat candied haws." Suddenly, he caught sight of a bunch of bright red candied haws, couldn't hold back his saliva anymore, and hugged Qiao Lianlian's thigh.

"Okay, one for each person." Qiao Lianlian was very generous.

The ten taels of silver that she just got in her hand had not been warmed up yet, so she was asked to spend it.

The three young ones looked happy, but the two big ones were full of distress.

Gu Cheng said in a sensible way, "Mom, I don't eat candied haws, you can buy them for your younger siblings."

Qiao rolled his eyes at him repeatedly, picked up a bunch of candied haws and stuffed them into his hands, "You can eat it if you tell me to. A candied haws is only a few pennies, and it can make us bankrupt."

After finishing speaking, she took one herself, put it in her mouth and bit it lightly.

The crisp sugar shell bursts in the mouth with a burnt taste, followed by the sour taste of the seedless hawthorn.

After Qiao repeatedly took a bite, he couldn't open his eyes.

Sin Oh, so sour.

"Here, Lou'er eat more." Without hesitation, Qiao Lianlian stuffed the candied haws to the glutton Gu Lou.

But the kid was very happy, his teeth could not see his eyes when he smiled on his small round face.

The mother and the others walked slowly on the street, passing by a place selling dried goods, Qiao Lian bought a lot of dried shiitake mushrooms, dried kelp, and dried shrimp skins.

When she was paying, she thought of something else, and bought some other dry goods, such as dried dates and longan, and almost selected all the dry goods in the shop.

The one who made the boss happy, took the initiative to wipe the zero on her, and even gave her a lot of extras.

"Mother, are we going to cook eight-treasure porridge?" Gu Que was a little puzzled.

"No." Qiao Lian stuffed things into the bamboo basket behind his back, and said with a smile, "It's to keep the formula secret."

If she only buys what she needs every time, then someone with a heart can figure out the formula of the fresh powder just by following her a little bit, so Qiao buys more and chooses more, disturbing the other party's sight and making the other party confused.

Only in this way can we really make money from fresh fans for a long time.

Gu Que nodded thoughtfully.

Qiao Lianlian paid the money for the dry goods, and decided to take advantage of the happy mood of the dry goods boss to ask some questions, "Boss, do you know where there is a better private school in this town?"

"Oh, you're the right person to ask, my lady." The boss was really easy to talk to, "There is only one private school in the town, and it's not a big deal. Said that he failed because he refused to join forces with others, hey... There are a lot of twists and turns here, my lady wants to hear me tell you."

Qiao Lian's mouth twitched.

Sure enough, gossip is a common nature of human beings. She just inquired about a private school, and someone told her about it.

Seeing the boss dancing around and wanting to make a long speech, Qiao Lianlian hurriedly interrupted him, "Boss, tell me first, where is this gentleman's private school, and I plan to register our child."

"Oops, this... is not far away, it's the third one in the west alley." When this was mentioned, the dry goods boss's expression obviously paused, "Mr. Li is also quite knowledgeable, right? , this temper is a bit weird, the people he wants to teach are willing to teach without giving money, and the people he doesn't want to teach will not pay any money."

Joe nodded again and again.

It is normal for educated people to be a little eccentric.

As for the possibility that Gu Cheng would be rejected by Mr. Qiao, Qiao Lianlian had never imagined it.

Just kidding, that's the smartest and darkest villain in the book.

Although being raised by her is a bit cute now...

Qiao repeatedly glanced back at the eldest son.

Gu Cheng noticed it, and raised his head to look at his stepmother, his eyes full of questions.

Qiao smiled at him again and again, making the eldest son confused.

"Oh, I don't think you should go, young lady. It would be bad if you hit a wall. I heard that Mr. Li's temper has become more and more eccentric in the past two years. Last time, several students were rejected. , I don't think it's difficult for your children." The dry goods boss was still muttering.

Qiao thanked him again and again, picked up little Gu Ge, and the mother and the others started to walk back.

"Mom, aren't we going to sign up for eldest brother?" Gu Zhong asked in a low voice.

"Go, but I can't go empty-handed." Qiao repeatedly patted his youngest son's head, "Let's go home first, cook something delicious and then go to Mr.'s place."

"Delicious?" Gu Lou suddenly raised his head, still chewing on the unfinished candied haws, "What's delicious?"

The brothers and sisters on the side all laughed.

This stupid foodie.

The girls walked away laughing, not noticing that because of their generosity, someone was secretly watching them.
