Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 175

Finally, Zhong Laoer asked her to follow him to find Boss Zhu, and asked him to take the two of them to the livestock store again.

There was a large yard inside with more than a dozen donkeys and mules tied inside. Zhong Ruyi also saw two horses, but she just looked at them and turned her eyes away because she came here today to buy a mule.

When the livestock dealer saw another customer coming, he quickly introduced the cat enthusiastically, "This one is good. It's three years old this year. It has good endurance and good teeth. Look at its smooth fur. It's great! Its parents lived to be over 30 years old. It's a long-lived person."

Mules have to carry goods and pull carts, so it is amazing if they can live to be over 30 years old.

Boss Zhu also thought it was good. "This one is really good. Your second brother wanted to buy this one, but he fell in love with the one he bought back now, so this one is left."

Since they all said it was good, Zhong Ruyi decided to buy the one they mentioned. She couldn't understand it anyway, so she thought both were good.

Boss Zhu was the one who negotiated the price, ten taels. The livestock dealer was willing to reduce the price and sell it at a lower price because he introduced two people.

After buying the mule and completing the formalities, the mule was registered. Zhong Laoer walked in front holding the rope, and Zhong Ruyi thanked Boss Zhu and followed behind. The brother and sister slowly returned to the store.

Pulling another mule back, Zhong's mother was a little worried, "Now that we've bought two mules, we'll have more to eat."

Zhong Laoer was very excited. He pulled the two mules into the yard and took a big brush to brush one mule and the other. He was very happy.

After washing again and again, Zhong's mother couldn't stand it anymore, "Enough, enough, you've ruined the skin!"

Only then did Zhong Laoer stop, patted the two mules, and smiled brightly.

Zhong Ruyi named the two mules, one Ada and the other Xiaoer. Ada was the one bought by her second brother, and Xiaoer was the one following her.

"Okay! I'm going to cook. Remember to feed grass to the two mules." Mother Zhong said this and went into the kitchen.

At the dinner table, Zhong Laoer saw two cans of meat floss and pork jerky and was so greedy that he said, "Little sister, do you have any more of this meat jerky? I want a can too."

He had just heard from his younger sister that the two cans of meat floss and pork jerky were for Chen Dongzhi, so he thought that if his younger sister made them again next time, he would shamelessly ask for one can.

"Second brother, I will make it for you tomorrow!" Seeing that his family really liked it, Zhong Ruyi thought about buying more pork tomorrow and making a few more cans.

The day after tomorrow, Zhong's mother said she wanted to hang up a sign and rest for two days, so Zhong Ruyi immediately went to buy ten kilograms of pork to make pork jerky.

The waiter was led to the restaurant by Zhong Ruyi. She slept there with the Jiang Rong sisters at night, and rushed to Zhongji early in the morning to make braised food.

When making meat floss and pork jerky, Zhong Ruyi entered the space as usual, but this time the jars were used up, so she brought in two wooden basins, one large and one small.

This time I made some more five-spiced food. When I took it out, my second brother started eating it. While eating, he said that it would taste even better if some wine was added to the pork jerky and peanuts.

Zhong's mother rolled her eyes at him, "It's good enough that you have something to eat, and you still want to drink?"

Jiang Yun likes the five-spice one very much. She can’t eat anything too spicy, and the five-spice flavor is just right for her.

Zhong Ruyi also took some to Aunt Chen. When she went in, she saw the pot of peppers in her lobby, which were still growing well and looking full of vitality.

"Oh! I'm so embarrassed. I always eat your food." Aunt Chen felt a little embarrassed, but her hands were faster than her mouth, and she pinched a piece into her mouth first.

Suddenly her eyes were like a wolf seeing its prey. She wanted to refuse a few times, but now she didn't refuse. "Come on, Ruyi, take these two bags of tea back. They are new tea leaves that your uncle Chen just got. They taste good!"

Zhong Ruyi knew she liked it as soon as she saw her expression. She smiled and said, "It also has some meat floss. Manman and the others should like it."

Zhao Manman, Aunt Chen’s eldest granddaughter.

Aunt Chen is happy. She is happy when she eats delicious food!

"Ruyi! You are such a good girl. Whenever you have something delicious, you think of your aunt. I am so touched!" Aunt Chen's eyes were filled with tears. Since Zhong Ruyi came to her, she had no idea how many delicious things she had eaten from her family.

Zhong Ruyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Aunt Chen would be like this every time she sent some food over. She waved her hand and said, "Aunt, it's fine as long as you like it. I'll go back first."

She returned to the store and saw the door next door was open and people were coming in and out. She looked inside and saw that they were cleaning.

A round-faced woman was sweeping the floor in the store, and two young girls were wiping the cabinets with cloths.

It seems that the shop next door will open soon. She took a look and then retracted her head.

Mother Zhong was looking for a jar. She wanted to put the dried pork and meat floss in it as she would be going back tomorrow, so she wanted to avoid being attacked by rats.

She patted her head and said, "Oh no! I forgot that I used all the jars to store chili sauce. I guess I need to buy a few more."

"Girl, take these back, your father will definitely like them!"

"Okay." What Zhong Ruyi made the second time was originally for her family.

The next morning, Zhong Laoer asked Xiao Er to carry the things they wanted to take back and drove the mule back to the village. A Da asked Aunt Chen to help feed the baby for two days.

Jiang Rong and Jiang Yun also came back. Zhong Ruyi was really worried about leaving the two young girls in the restaurant, so she simply took them back with her. It happened that the three siblings hadn't seen each other for almost a month.

When they arrived at the village, someone on the road saw them at a glance and said to the person next to him, "Look, is that Zhong Hui's family? Is he still driving a mule?"

The person next to him rolled his eyes. People might not be able to see it, but how could such a tall mule not be able to see it?

When Zhong Ruyi and his companions approached, someone greeted Zhong's mother, "Zhong Hui's wife, did you buy a mule?"

Mother Zhong smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's more convenient to buy a mule. I don't have to carry all the bags on my back!"

The man couldn't help but click his tongue. He had heard that the second son of Zhong Hui's family made money by doing business in the town. It seemed to be true, otherwise they would have been able to buy a mule when everyone else had to rely on their own feet.

She said with a bit of envy, "Zhong Hui's wife, it seems that your life is getting better and better."

Mother Zhong just smiled and said nothing. She said she was going back first and asked him to visit her at her house next time when she was free.

Watching their backs as they walked away, she thought that the Zhong family was getting better and better off. The Zhong family had a son and a daughter, and she also had a son, who might be a perfect match for the Zhong family's daughter.

I'll wait for the next chance to sound out Zhong Hui's wife, maybe this can work out, and see if her son can get some of the wealth from his father-in-law's family.

The other person was also jealous and had some thoughts in her mind. Seeing the obvious thoughts on the woman next to her, she snorted coldly and lowered her head to continue doing her own thing.
