The original thatched hut was blown away by a strong wind.

To avoid any unsafe situation and any trouble, Qiao Mu paid for the construction of two more small houses and a sturdy shed. Even if it rained heavily and they couldn't go home, Yu Dasao and her husband could stay here for one night and didn't have to rush home in the rain.

Qiao Mu also had the foresight to buy an acre of land around here. After all, Qiao Mu had a strong sense of law in modern times and understood some things better.

If my business picks up and some people become jealous and buy this land, then I will move to another place, but those old customers may not follow me.

Anyway, I have some money now, so I might as well buy it. It will save me a lot of trouble and I can live here too.

Qiao Mu was also afraid of insecurity, after all, he was an orphan and a widow.

So I spent money to buy two dogs in the city. At first, they were small and inconspicuous, but I didn’t expect that three years later, they grew bigger than Yu Baibai!

One dog is pure black, and the other has yellow hair. Yu Baibai simply named them Dahei and Dahuang, which made Qiao Mu laugh.

It was also because of these two dogs that Qiumu and her daughter had never been bullied, and even thieves didn't dare to come.

After Yu Yaozu left, Qiao Mu bought several chickens, ducks and geese in order to provide Yu Baibai with nutrition in the future. He only bought three geese, but they were very fierce!

The chickens and ducks at home were well disciplined and didn't dare to pee or defecate in the yard.

Walk two meters down the official road and you will see the door of the tea stall. There are two unknown trees planted on both sides of the door, and there is a sign with the word "Tea Stall" fluttering in the wind next to it.

As you enter the door, you will see a tea stall with six tables. Behind the tea stall is a row of flower walls, and behind the flower walls are two rooms.

The two houses are located in the middle, and the flower wall directly blocks the two houses.

Further back, Qiaomu left a small piece of land and planted some vegetables for his daily cooking.

There are many bamboos planted around the fences on both sides. After three years of growth, the bamboos have grown lush and green.

Bamboo shoots also grow rapidly after the rain.

There is also a well in the backyard with a large wooden lid on it. This well was dug two years ago because the surrounding area is too far away from the water source. In short, it is too tiring to carry water back and forth.

You know what, the tea stall business has improved a lot since this well was dug.

Just then, a caravan of merchants came up ahead, speaking in a gibberish language that was hard to understand.

Qiao Mu also changed Yu Baibai's clothes and came over from the backyard, greeting her with a smile:

"What would you like to order, gentlemen? We have some delicious braised noodles with tea and sauerkraut. They are all delicious."

A muscular man who was obviously the leader took a look at Qiao Mu, who was a woman, and spoke in a slightly lower voice:

"Two pots of tea, six bowls of noodles, and two plates of braised food."

This guy can understand what he says.

It was obvious that this was a big customer. Qiao Mu agreed and turned to go to the open kitchen next door to knead the dough. By the way, he also asked Mrs. Yu to serve tea to the customer:

"Hey! Please sit down and have some tea. You'll have to wait a moment."

"Okay." The man was easy to talk to. He took his people to sit at two tables near the flower wall, nodding as he spoke. It seemed that he thought this place was very good.

It is April now, and the flowers are in full bloom, which is a pleasure to look at.

Yu Baibai came out from the backyard, holding the ropes of three big geese, and walked out swayingly. The baby fat on his little face swayed as he walked, which looked very pleasing.

Several people followed Yu Baibai's footsteps with smiles on their faces.

Yu Baibai is cute in appearance, and makes people want to rub her when they see her, and she is popular with both men and women.

Yu Baibai was not shy. Seeing that there were guests, she even pulled the rope and greeted them:

"My dear uncles, the food in my house is delicious. I guarantee you will want more!"

She kept talking without stopping.

The man who had just spoken to Qiao Mu was amused: "How delicious is it? Could it be better than what the imperial chef in the palace makes?"

Yu Baibai smiled mysteriously: "Hehehe... slurp... Mommy~ Baibai is hungry~"

While loosening the rope of the goose, she sat down on the table closest to the man. Her calves couldn't even reach the ground, and she was wobbling, looking playful and cute.

The big goose was even more interesting. After the rope loosened, it held the rope in its mouth and walked towards the backyard, even faster than when it came just now.

Mrs. Yu came over with a plate and said with a smile, "Dear guests, please don't mind. The child is still young and doesn't understand anything. Please don't be surprised."

After placing the tray on the table and two pots of tea, he turned around and told Yu Baibai:

"Baibai, sit here and don't run outside. It's so hot outside, be careful of heatstroke."

Yu Baibai squinted her eyes and smiled: "I know, aunt!" She went away after eating. It was so hot that she had to play in the water to cool down!

Yu Baibai made it clear that he said one thing and meant another.

Mrs. Yu touched Yu Baibiao's head and turned to cut the braised food.

After a while, an overbearing aroma drifted over from the kitchen, causing everyone to take a deep breath, and the man also sighed:

"This smells really good! How can it smell so good?"

Yu Baibai's face was full of pride, because that was his own mother!

The cooking is so delicious!

"Come here!"

With a shout from Mrs. Yu, two bowls of greasy noodles were brought up, followed by Qiao Mu who also brought two bowls.

By the time the two men had served all the noodles and braised dishes, everyone was already overwhelmed by the aroma and started to eat with relish, picking up their chopsticks.

He nodded while eating and had no time to speak.

Yu Baibai sat there and laughed, "Uncle, it's delicious! I'm not lying~"

The man nodded in agreement: "Delicious! This braised food is also very good! Girl! Pack six servings for us when you leave!"

"Got it!"

Qiao Mu made a small portion of noodles for Yu Baibai. There was no topping on it, just a bowl of clear soup noodles with some chopped green onions floating on top and an egg nestled underneath.

Even though it’s simple, it still smells delicious!

"Thank you, mother!"

"Be careful not to burn yourself."

After saying that, he asked Mrs. Yu to bring a big bowl for each of them and sat next to Yu Baibai to eat. For a while, the only sound in the small tea stall was the sound of asking for noodles.

As expected, when the last few people left, they packed up several more portions of braised food.

Yu Baibai had already eaten and drunk his fill, and ran away with the three big white geese.

-

Yu Yaozu, who was far away in another town, was traveling day and night.

Just like when he came, he was still alone, but this time he came back driving a donkey cart and was still wearing the same shabby clothes as when he came.

The donkey cart had a shed, and inside it were some dry food and two large packages.

Yu Yaozu was sweating profusely and didn't dare to stop for a moment, muttering to himself constantly.
