Qi Yuan, Qiao Shen ordered the items he brought back from the village. With a few biscuits, fried a green vegetable, and steamed a bowl of egg custard for Xiao Changle alone, that was how it settled for lunch.

After the meal, Qiao Shen began to make jelly and taro balls.

Boil a large pot of boiling water directly, pour it into a small water tank and let it cool for storage. On another fire, I steamed sweet potatoes and pumpkins in a pot. Sitting in the yard, I started to dig out the jelly seeds, took a small part of the jelly seeds, and put the rest in a dustpan to dry and store.

Scooped a bowl of cold white boil, wrapped the jelly seeds with clean gauze, Qiao Shen began to knead in the cold boiled boil, knead a certain concentration of jelly liquid, stirred it, and filtered it with another piece of gauze, and put it in a cool place. Wait for it to solidify slowly.

.Take out the steamed sweet potato squash and let it cool. Add water to the pot and start to cook the red beans. The red beans should be watched from time to time. They should not be boiled. After they are cooked, they must be fished out.

Everything was ready, just waiting for the jelly, so Qiao Shen took advantage of this meeting to take a nap to rest. Xiao Changle, who had played with his father all morning, was taken in by his father and accompany him to sleep.

After passing the most venomous heat at noon, Qiao Shen woke up.

The jelly has solidified and turned into a faint yellow jelly.

Qiao Shen held a bowl, underneath the bowl was a layer of jelly, with red beans and yellow taro balls on top. .Qiao Shen handed the bowl to Qi Shuo. Qi Shuo washed his hands and took it. First, he scooped the jelly with a spoon. The jelly was crystal clear, and the mouth was cold with the sweetness of brown sugar, without the bitterness of pumila fruit, but taro balls It is elastic, fragrant and chewy. After eating a bowl of jelly and taro balls, Qi Shuo only feels cool and refreshing, and the summer heat has been dissipated.

"It's really delicious, this pumila fruit is not sour at all." Qi Shuo looked at Qiao Shen, admiring him with surprise. After Qiao Shen woke up, the things he had made were strange but surprising.

"This is a seed, not a fruit. Of course it won't be sour or bitter. It's delicious, right?" Qiao was very happy. He felt that he had seized the business opportunity.

Then he reminded: "By the way, this will be called jelly seeds in the future, and it is not allowed to be called pumila fruit. In case it is concocted by others, our Changle Shuxiu will be gone."

.Qi Shuo helped Qiao Shen fix the jelly and taro balls on the cart. After trying it, Qiao Shen was pushed out of the hospital steadily.

"I'm leaving. I left a bowl for Chang Le in the cupboard. When he wakes up, remember to feed him." Qiao Shen closed the courtyard door and left.

Qiao Shen knocked on the door of Liu Yuan: "Is Brother Xuan at home?"

"Brother is here...oh, what are you..." Li Lixuan asked strangely when he opened the courtyard door and looked at Qiao Shen with a hat and the wooden cart he was pushing.

"I made some sweets and I am going to sell them, passing by, I will give Yongyuan a bowl to try."

"Yongyuan, quickly get a bowl, your uncle will give you something delicious." Li Lixuan called to his son, and wanted to invite Qiao Shen into the house.

"I won't go in, this thing is not easy to move.".After Qiao Shen finished speaking, Yong Yuan came over to say hello with the bowl in his hands. Qiao Shen touched Yong Yuan's head and took the bowl and filled it with jelly and taro balls.

"Selling jelly, ice-cold jelly..." Qiao Shen didn't feel embarrassed to make a loud noise, only shouting when he passed by the gate of the courtyard.

In summer, when I heard the words ‘ice, cold, cool’, let alone the children, the adults couldn’t help but open the courtyard door and came out curiously to watch.

Looking at the crystal clear jelly, isn't it like ice cubes in winter? Someone couldn't help returning to the courtyard to get a bowl, so bowl after bowl, and soon sold out the jelly and taro balls in two wooden barrels.

Qiao Shen dragged the empty wooden cart with one hand, turned the money bag with one hand, and returned to the yard contentedly.

Qi Shuo didn't expect Qiao Shen to come back so soon, stopped the carpenter's work in his hand, walked over to help move the cart and unload the wooden barrel.

.As soon as Qiao Shen entered the yard, he threw his things to Qi Shuo, sat down at the stone table and began to count the copper plates.

A bowl of three copper plates, the price is really not expensive, ordinary people often buy rice cakes for one penny, often for five yuan.

"Sixty-nine copper plates, sold 23 bowls!" Qiao Shen didn't expect that he would just walk this alley. He actually sold more than 20 bowls. Some yards have many children. Adults are not stingy, and often buy three. Five bowls for the children to relieve their greed.

"Four times a day, don’t you have two hundred texts?" Qiao Shen has the final say. According to this sales volume, he does more every day, two times in the morning and two times in the afternoon. Earn a lot.

"Don't be too tired, you can't get the money in a hurry, Chang Le is still a few years away from school." Qi Shuo planed the wood and looked at Qiao Shen who was smiling, thinking about this little money fan.

.This night, Qiao Shen made more jelly before going to bed and let it sit still, because there is no refrigeration in the refrigerator, the taro balls and red beans can only be cooked the next day.

Early the next morning, I had breakfast.

Qiao Shen continued to be busy with the sweets business. Qi Shuo went to the carpenter's shop to open up. The workbench in the backyard of the shop was equipped with equipment to facilitate his work.

In the morning, in the slightly tidy alley of the residents of Dongzhen, Qiao pushed the wooden cart deeply, Xiao Changle held Qiao Shen's trouser legs in one hand, and a fragrant braised chicken feet in the other. While chewing, he accompanied his father to sell jelly.

"Sell jelly, ice-cold jelly."

"Sell..." Xiao Changle yelled, but he couldn't keep up with the following words, and simply kept selling the products to his father.

After waking up from a nap, Qiao Shen packed up his things, picked up Xiao Changle who was still asleep, and sent it to Liu Yuan. Brother Xuan took the child and placed it next to Yongyuan. The two children on the bed were sleeping soundly.

.Qiao Shen went back to the yard and picked up the cart. This time he continued to sell jelly to the furthest alley. The last one was sold out. When he returned, he stopped by to pick up Xiao Changle. The setting sun followed the father and son back home with a slow pace.

Days repeat like this every day, Qiao Shen is busy every day, and the money he earns is substantial.

In the evening, Qiao Shen finished taking a bath, poured dirty water, and went back to the wing to clean up. Seeing Qi Shuo coming in, Qiao Shen asked, "Where is Chang Le?"

Qi Shuo looked at Qiao Shen. His long hair was draped behind him, and the tips of his hair were dripping with water. The exposed skin showed the matte and tenderness of just after bathing. Qi Shuo's Adam’s apple slid: "You will not be able to open it when you have dinner. I opened my eyes and fell asleep when I put it on the bed."

Qiao Shen said, Xiao Changle just clamored for him to walk a long alley with him this afternoon, really tired after thinking about it. After Qiao Shen packed up, he turned and rammed into a hard bosom. He didn't know when Qi Shuo walked behind him.

.Qi Shuo's tall body hugged Qiao Shen from behind, lowered his head slightly, sniffed Qiao Shen's half-dry black hair, and his low voice pressed against Qiao Shen's ears: "Can you?"

The blood from Qiao Shen's whole body was pouring into his ears, and Qiao Shen's face was red with the warm breath when Qi Shuo spoke. What should I do?

"I...I'm a little tired today...I'll go to sleep first." Qiao Shen broke free from Qi Shuo's embrace, and the next sentence was so fast that people could hardly hear him.

Qi Shuo pursed the corners of his mouth as he watched Qiao Shen's escape.

After Qiao Shen lay down, his thoughts were in confusion. He can accept family, he likes children, but he is not ready yet, is he really going to live with Qi Shuo for a lifetime in this dynasty?

Qi Shuo is reticent but reliable. He loves children. He doesn't have the old-fashioned style of the ancients. He can go to the stove, cook actively and make money, and hand in all the money he earns. .The most important thing is that the three months of life with Qi Shuo made Qiao Shen very comfortable and free of pressure. Qiao Shen asked himself that he would like to live with Qi Shuo like a family member.

However, Qi Shuo regarded him as a family member like a husband and wife.

Qiao turned over and listened to the surrounding movement. I wonder if Qi Shuo is angry? What should we do? Qiao Shen has never been in love. Although he said he has never eaten pork and watched pigs run, he couldn't even think about the sweet love of others in the TV series. Qiao Shen didn't expect that one day, he could skip the sweet love and lead the life of raising children.

Qiao Shen turned over again, the sky was already dark, and Qi Shuo still didn't come in to sleep. What is he doing? Qiao Shen held this question to find the answer in his dream.
