Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 241

In the evening, Chen Dongzhi did not leave work with the villagers. He went home first, took a shower, took the wine he had bought some time ago, and went to Zhong's house.

At this time, the Zhong family had just finished cooking and there was a lot of noise in the yard. Tiedan was running around in the yard, and Li Guihua was chasing after him.

Li Guihua pulled Tiedan back into the wooden tub to take a bath, "You better take a bath! Now you are the only one in the family who hasn't taken a bath yet. Even your sister Lanlan has taken a bath. If you don't take a bath, you are not allowed to go see her!"

Tiedan pursed his lips and held back tears, "But it hurts so much when you wash me, Mom!"

"How can I wash it clean if it doesn't hurt? I jump up and down every day, and my body is so dirty that I can rub it into mud!"

Li Guihua scolded him loudly, but her hands were still gentle. Seeing Chen Dongzhi pushing open the gate and coming in, she quickly said, "Dongzhi, come in quickly. It's almost time for dinner."

Chen Dongzhi nodded and walked into the main room, where Zhong's father and others were all there. When they saw him, they asked him to sit down quickly.

When Mr. Zhong saw the jar of wine in his hand, he couldn't hide the smile on his face. His future son-in-law was quite a good person. Knowing that he loved drinking, he specially brought him some wine when he came to dinner.

"Just come, why bring anything?" Although he said this, he took the jar quickly.

After the food was served, the Zhong family asked the two to sit opposite each other instead of letting them sit together.

During the meal, Zhong's mother mentioned that the furniture for the new house had not been found yet, and asked him if he had found someone to make it custom-made.

Chen Dongzhi swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded, "I found one. The carpenter in town has good craftsmanship. I went to see several pieces of furniture he had made before deciding on it."

That’s good, this son-in-law is quite steady in his work, Zhong’s mother thought.

Anyway, it's only August now, and they won't get married for another four or five months, so there's no rush for the furniture.

After dinner, Zhong Laosan went to wash the dishes.

Chen Dongzhi carefully observed what everyone in the family did. The Zhong family did not have the habit of men sitting down after eating.

On the contrary, most of the housework is done by men, with only a few done by women.

He glanced at Zhong Ruyi calmly, and seeing her sitting there digesting her food with a comfortable look on her face, he had already begun to imagine the wonderful life they would have after they got married.

When Zhong Ruyi was going back, he saw him off and they talked about the bandits.

She was a little worried. "If these bandits are not caught, won't everyone passing by there be robbed?"

If someone's life is taken, it would be really unfortunate. It is better to let the government arrest the person as soon as possible.

Chen Dongzhi repeated to her what those unlucky guys had said.

"So vicious and cruel?" Zhong Ruyi became even more worried. After hearing this description, he felt that this man named Linzai was very similar to the Chao Xiong mentioned in those donkey and horse videos in modern times.

"Last time you asked us to sprinkle the pepper spray, they thought they were really poisoned and were so scared." Chen Dongzhi still found it a little ridiculous when he thought about it. Those people didn't even want their companions and just ran away for fear of being caught up by them.

But if they really want to keep such a scourge in the mountains, just like Zhong Ruyi said, they can't stay here forever. They also have to go out to escort the goods, and if it's not them, someone else will encounter it.

It’s okay this time, but what if something happens next time and someone gets killed?

Chen Dongzhi shook his head. He didn’t know what to do. It was impossible for him to reach Baba Mountain alone.

Or we can only wait for the government to take this matter seriously and send people to capture him.

"Then I'll go back." Zhong Ruyi looked at him reluctantly, turned and left.

After walking a few steps, she felt as if someone was following her. She turned around and found that it was Chen Dongzhi. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why are you walking back again?"

Chen Dongzhi said seriously, "I'll take you home."

Zhong Ruyi was helpless, "I came here specifically to take you back, but you also want to take me back?"

"Yes, you give me a gift and I give you a gift, one time each, we're even." Chen Dongzhi still had a serious look on his face, and it seemed that he thought this was right.

"Okay, then you can take me home." Zhong Ruyi couldn't persuade him, so she had to let him take her home.

When the gate was closed, Zhong's mother seemed to see Chen Dongzhi at the door. She was a little confused, "My daughter, didn't you send Dongzhi back? Why do I seem to see him at the door?"

"Yes, we will send each other off." Zhong Ruyi smiled and felt that Chen Dongzhi was really a little childish, yet childishly cute.

Zhong Ruyi handed over the affairs of the small courtyard to her eldest sister-in-law. Now she no longer sells braised goods. Selling braised goods is quite tiring anyway. It will not be too late to sell them after all the canned food in the small courtyard is made.

The restaurant was full of people. When Zhong Ruyi walked in, she saw Xie Hai also helping to serve the dishes. After washing her hands, she hurried over to help.

After a lot of effort, some customers who had come to eat left, and someone started arguing at the door again.

When she went out, she saw that it was Lin and Xiaoyu's grandmother, who were arguing fiercely over a stall.

When Xiaoyu saw her coming out, she came over happily and said, "Sister Ruyi, I haven't seen you for many days."

Zhong Ruyi reached out and touched her head. "Yes, my sister has been at home all this time and has no time to come to the store."

Seeing that the two were not able to stop arguing with words, Lin rolled up his sleeves, and it seemed that the two were going to have a fight.

She quickly stopped him, "Auntie, can't you just take one side each? Why are you fighting like cross-eyed for a seat?"

Lin barely suppressed her anger and explained, "When I came here in the morning, I was at her seat, where the sun doesn't shine, but when I came here right after dinner, this old woman took my seat!"

Grandma Ji was equally impressive, "Is your name written on this spot or something? You set up the seats in the morning, and now it's my turn to set up the seats in the afternoon! What's wrong with that?"

Zhong Ruyi felt overwhelmed after hearing this and returned to the store dejectedly. The sound of the two people arguing behind him was getting louder and louder.

Sun Tao just came out to rest, and seeing the two quarreling again, he shook his head helplessly, "They quarrel every day, and they have to quarrel for half a day every day for this position."

"Have they been like this since I was away?" Zhong Ruyi asked.

"That's not all. They even had a fight before." Sun Tao pouted. It was obvious that she was speechless. "This location in front of our store is pretty good. Before they came, other people were setting up their stalls here. Then, when they came, they started quarreling. No one else wanted to set up their stalls here. They would rather spend an extra penny to set up their stalls at the market than watch these two people quarreling."

"It makes a lot of noise outside our door all day long!"

Zhong Ruyi saw that the two of them were just arguing with each other and it did not affect her business, so she did not interfere any more.

Suddenly, a maid from the Yu Mansion came into the store with a smile on her face, "Miss Zhong, this is a basket of red eggs that our Madam asked me to deliver."

Red eggs?

Zhou Yuyan also gave birth?

She asked a few questions, and the maid smiled and said, "Yes, our young mistress gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl!"

Hey!
