Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 182

Yu Yunhe waved happily to Zhong Ruyi, then got into the carriage with the help of the servant.

Watching the two carriages go away, Mother Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect that the rich people were not as arrogant as described in the opera, but were actually quite easy to talk to."

Aunt Chen, who had hidden back in her own home when the Yu family came, immediately slipped over when she saw them leaving.

"Old sister! What did Mrs. Yu say when she came to our house?" She looked excited.

"They even brought their daughter-in-law and grandson with them! It seems like they think it's very important that Ruyi saved their grandson!"

Isn't that right?

Regardless of whether the young lady of the Yu family is pregnant with a boy or a girl, now the Yu family has only one precious grandson, Yu Yunhe. How can they not value him?

Aunt Chen followed Zhong's mother into the store and heard her say that Madam Yu gave 1,220 taels of silver to thank Zhong Ruyi for saving her grandson.

One thousand taels!

Aunt Chen's eyes widened.

But after thinking about it carefully, one thousand taels didn't seem to be a lot, and she calmed down again.

"The Yu family is not only the richest family in our area, but also the most kindhearted. They built several relief homes, which housed many orphans and elderly people without parents. When the orphans grow up and can walk, they can walk. For those who can't walk, the Yu family will arrange jobs for them. When those elderly people pass away, they will also take care of their affairs."

Zhong Ruyi was quite surprised. "I didn't realize the Yu family was so kind. You can't judge a person by his appearance."

Mother Zhong nodded and said, "Mrs. Yu looked difficult to talk to, but I didn't expect her to be so kind."

She thought about how Madam Yu had just asked her daughter to teach the doctors in their clinic some first aid methods, which was also to save children like her grandson who had food choking on their throats.

She felt deeply moved that he was a rich and kind-hearted person.

As they were talking, they heard some noise coming from the newly moved dim sum shop next door.

Aunt Chen ran away, "I'll go see what happened and come back to tell you later."

Soon she came back and drank the tea on the table.

"The shop next door is opening tomorrow, so they've asked someone to come over to help out. They're afraid they won't be able to handle it tomorrow."

"So fast?" But when she thought about it, when she went to ask Brother Yang before, she heard him say that someone next door had already inquired about it. It has been more than a month since they rented the place. They can't just leave it there and waste rent, right?

Speaking of rent, I wonder how the tables and chairs in the woodworking workshop are doing?

"Mom, Aunt, you guys chat first. I have to go see if the tables and chairs at the restaurant are ready."

She called Jiang Qin to help, and Jiang Rong and Jiang Yun had already taken out the clothes to mend them.

The two arrived at the carpentry workshop. Master Zhang, who was working, came over as soon as he saw someone coming. "Miss Zhong, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for several days."

Zhong Ruyi smiled and said, "I went back to the village these days, so I came here today to see if everything is ready."

Master Zhang wiped the sweat off his head and said, "Alright, alright! It's done today. I was planning to ask someone to find you, but I didn't expect you to come here today."

He took Zhong Ruyi in to see that ten tables and matching chairs were neatly arranged. "Miss Zhong, can you find a time to have them moved away?"

Zhong Ruyi looked around the table and reached out to touch it. It was very good, smooth and without burrs.

She nodded, "Okay, Master Zhang, I'll ask someone to come and move it out tomorrow."

She paid the remaining money. She had only paid a deposit before, and agreed to pay the rest of the money after the goods were finished.

After leaving the carpentry workshop, she went to find a mason and bought some bowls and dishes.

There are some in the space too, but those in the space look much more beautiful than those here, so she can only take out a few to use together.

The mason gave her a wooden frame and asked her to put all the dishes in it, and then they carried it back.

The two of them carried the wooden basket back to Zhongji, grunting, and happened to meet the second brother sweeping the floor at the door with a broom.

As soon as he saw them coming back, he immediately dropped the broom in his hand and hurried over to take over Zhong Ruyi's side. He and Jiang Qin moved it back together.

She originally wanted to move back to the restaurant, but she didn't have her key with her, so she could only move back to Zhong Ji first and move the tables and chairs there tomorrow.

The next day she hired two men who were moving goods at the dock to help move the tables and chairs from Carpenter Zhang to the restaurant, and paid each of them 100 coins.

Together with Jiang Qin, his second brother, and Master Zhang's two apprentices, they moved all the tables and chairs back in a few trips.

Zhong's mother asked someone to pick a good day, and it turned out to be a good day twenty days later, so they chose that day to open the store.

These past two days, Zhong Ruyi and the Jiang siblings were so busy that they didn't even have time to go and see the fun at the dim sum shop next door when it opened.

Both Mrs. Zhong and Aunt Chen received pastries from their pastry shop, which was sent by the daughter of the shop owner.

Later, Zhong's mother said to her, "That girl looks very efficient at work! She is also very sweet and smiles whenever she sees someone."

Zhong Ruyi had only met their younger daughter and had not yet seen the older daughter that Zhong's mother mentioned. However, the two stores were so close that they would meet sooner or later.

During these twenty days, Zhong Ruyi, together with her mother and others, made a lot of chili sauce, which would be used in the future.

The peppers in the field are still growing and cannot be harvested so quickly, so we are using the ones in the space.

The peppers in the space are inexhaustible, so naturally we should use the ones in the space first, and then use the ones in reality after the peppers in reality have grown well.

The second brother was wondering where these peppers came from, but was fooled by Zhong Ruyi's jokes.

The chili sauce filled more than a dozen jars, and in the end there were not enough jars, so Zhong Ruyi went to find a bricklayer to order twenty large jars.

It is better to have more than to have nothing to use. The bricklayer was quick and delivered twenty large jars in two days.

During this time, people from the restaurant next door knocked on the door and asked what they were doing.

It makes my nose choke every day and my tone is very bad.

The person who came was an apprentice from the martial arts school, and he said that his master had sent him here.

"How could you do this? You keep fiddling with these choking things. People in our martial arts school keep sneezing while practicing! We can't even concentrate!"

Si Jing, an apprentice at the martial arts school, pinched his nose and looked angry. "How many days have you been doing this since you came here? If it's like this every day, how can I concentrate on practicing martial arts?"

Zhong Ruyi was sprayed in the face as soon as she opened the door.

She also knew that the smell of chili sauce was very pungent, so she only dared to make it after closing the doors and windows.

Not to mention the people in the martial arts school, those who make the sauce are also suffering!

She said embarrassedly, "Brother, I'm sorry, we rented this place to open a restaurant, and then it will indeed have this smell every day, but it will be much better than now."

When he heard that they would really be doing this every day, Si Jing put his hands on his waist and said angrily, "No! You can't open this restaurant here. If you want to open it, you can't be tinkering with these choking things every day!"

Zhong Ruyi said in a good-tempered manner, "Brother, it won't be like this in the future. Even if there is a smell, it will only be a little bit, and it won't drift to your side."

"Really?" Si Jing didn't quite believe it. "Then what are you doing now?"

"I'm making the sauce. I'll use it for cooking later."

"Using something so pungent to cook? How can the dish be delicious? Are you guys lying?" Si Jing wrinkled his nose, looking suspicious.

"Won't you know when you try it?"
