The little girl of the general's house

Chapter 196 The Pigeon Was Released

Since she gave the Zou family a beautiful and delicious wedding banquet that day, Li Yujiao's reputation spread in the nearby villages.

And because it was the slack season for farming at this time, those families who had happy events all picked the good days at this time, and Li Yujiao and Bai He went out to cook for others for several days in a row.

Over the past few days, the two of them have each saved a few taels of silver, but Bai He was so happy that he smiled and said that he is the one who can make the most money in the family.

However, these few taels of silver are far from enough for Li Yujiao, because father Li Changfu's recovery requires too much money.

So these days, Li Yujiao cooks for weddings before dawn, and stays in her room when she comes back in the afternoon, either drawing embroidery patterns or writing playbooks.

Because, the time she agreed with the shopkeeper of Xiuzhuang and the troupe's old squad leader Zhou is coming soon.

Two days ago, someone in the next village had some funeral affairs at home, so he specially invited Li Yujiao to cook. Li Yujiao thought that the troupe's old squad leader, Mr. Zhou, would come to the house to pick up the playbook soon, so she didn't agree and let Bai He go. .

After cooking so many meals together with Li Yujiao, Bai He and Li Yujiao are already able to take charge of the cooking by themselves. In addition, Bai He is not as particular about red things as red things, so even if Bai He is alone in the kitchen, he can still be in charge.

Because the old squad leader Zhou didn't agree on a specific time in Sanlitun last time, no matter how tired Li Yujiao was, she still insisted on not sleeping in. She got out of bed early and waited for the old squad leader Zhou to arrive at home.

It's a pity that after waiting until dark, the old squad leader still didn't show up that week.

Li Yujiao sighed, she was thinking, the theater troupe was always running around, maybe the old squad leader Zhou was busy with other things, that's why he couldn't come as scheduled.

Then he went back to his room and put away the playbook carefully.

After a few days, it was time for her to go to the city to hand in embroidery.

She put a lot of thought into the appearance of these flowers. She thought she could sell them for a good price this time, but who would have thought that what awaited her would be bad news.

She had just entered the embroidery workshop when she was recognized by the shop assistant.

The store clerk came forward with a smile and said, "Oh, Miss Li, you are here."

Li Yujiao also smiled and went forward to greet the store clerk: "Yes, I have an appointment with the shopkeeper today, and I need to trouble you to report."

The store clerk heard the words, but he didn't even move his feet, and said: "Oh girl, to tell you the truth, our shopkeeper is not here, so why don't I wait here for you today, so that I can say hello to you. "

"Not here?" Li Yujiao smiled and asked again, "When will the shopkeeper come back, I can make an appointment for another day."

"Well," the store clerk sighed, "I just left the day before yesterday. If our shopkeeper goes out to discuss business, it usually takes at least a month or at most two or three months. I don't know when I will be back."

"Ah? That's it, that's really a coincidence. Then I'll try my luck another day." Li Yujiao smiled slightly, but in her heart she sighed that she was unlucky.

As I turned around and was about to leave, I heard the shop clerk say again: "The shopkeeper asked me to say something to the girl."

"What? Say it."

The store clerk chuckled: "It's the embroidery sample in the girl's hand. The shopkeeper means please keep it, but you can't send it to another house..."
