Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 165

Zhong Ruyi squeezed some ointment out of the tube and gave it to her third brother. His hands looked much worse than Chen Dongzhi's face.

I was stung by a bee twice on the same part of my right hand, both times at the base of my thumb. My hand is so swollen that I can’t take off my clothes. I can’t even lift chopsticks with my hand, so I can only eat with my left hand.

Seeing that he was grimacing in pain, Zhong Ruyi got out two ice packs and applied them to him.

Zhong Laosan let out a long sigh, "Little sister, you are really amazing. This cloth bag is icy cold, and it is very comfortable to put it on."

Zhong Ruyi looked at his swollen hand and wanted to touch it, "Third brother, can you feel it if I poke it with your hand?"

As she spoke, she poked it twice with her fingers. Hmm, it was much hotter and harder than normal skin.

Zhong Laosan didn't feel anything. "Little sister, how is Dongzhi? Is he swollen too?"

He felt a little guilty and changed his address back to "brother".

If he hadn't been careless and had his hat been thrown away, he wouldn't have suffered as well.

"Yes, I was bitten on the face, but it's better than yours, you were bitten twice." Zhong Ruyi nodded and poked the third brother's pig's trotter again.

Zhong Laosan uttered an "ah" and was a little dazed. "Will his face be disfigured?"

His face was famous for its handsomeness. If he was disfigured, his mother would beat him to death if she knew.

But Zhong Ruyi said, "It's not that bad, it will be fine in a couple of days. If you're really worried, why don't you go and see him."

Zhong Laosan was a little hesitant, but he went anyway.

Zhong Ruyi was sitting there thinking about how to get the ingredients. She had a lot of vegetables and poultry in her space.

You can take out two chickens occasionally, but more than that will always arouse suspicion, so you still have to find a fixed source.

Li Guihua came out with needle and thread, preparing to make clothes with a piece of cloth she bought before the New Year. She wanted it for Shitou. The child had grown fast recently, and the clothes had suddenly become too short.

Not long after she sat down, Liu Yu Niang also sat down to make clothes for the children.

Seeing my little sister sitting there blankly, I asked her what was wrong.

Zhong Ruyi shook her head, a little annoyed. "I'm thinking about who to go to to order the ingredients I need every day. I haven't heard of any farms here."

Liu Yu Niang didn’t know what a breeding farm was, but she roughly knew that it meant raising chickens, ducks and geese.

Li Guihua suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "Oh! I forgot! Little sister, the day my mother came back, she said that the husband of Aunt Wu's eldest daughter in our village had built a chicken coop in their village, and that several restaurants in the town were buying chickens, ducks and geese from them."

Zhong Ruyi's eyes lit up. He really handed her the pillow when she felt sleepy.

"Where did Aunt Wu's daughter marry? Is it far from town?"

Li Guihua thought for a moment and said, "I remember that I got married to Qianniu Village, which is quite far from the town."

Qianniu Village is right next to Taohua Village and seems not far away.

Zhong Ruyi excitedly called Jiang Qin and wanted to go over to take a look.

Li Guihua stopped her and said, "Little sister, ask Aunt Wu's daughter and son-in-law to take you over there. What if they ignore you if you run over there so suddenly? Anyway, mother and Aunt Wu have already agreed, so you can just go and find her."

Zhong Ruyi thought about it and agreed that it would be better to find someone she knew to take the person over.

She went to find Aunt Wu. When Aunt Wu saw her coming, her eyes were full of smiles, "Old Zhong, my dear, your mother asked you to come, right?"

"Yes! Auntie, when you are free, let's go to Sister Honghong's place to visit?" Honghong is the name of Auntie Wu's eldest daughter. Both families have the surname Zhong.

One third of the people in this village have the surname Zhong, and they are all relatives.

Aunt Wu smiled from ear to ear, "Okay! Then we'll go there tomorrow. I've already told my daughter when she came back the day before yesterday. I'm just waiting for you to go over and take a look!"

After talking about the chicken, Zhong Ruyi wanted to go back, but Aunt Wu suddenly stopped her and said mysteriously, "Old Zhong, I heard from your mother that your third brother has a good relationship with the boy from the Chen family?"

Zhong Ruyi was a little confused and nodded, "The relationship is pretty good, what's wrong, aunt?"

Aunt Wu smiled a little embarrassedly, "Look, I still have a daughter who is not married yet. I was thinking about letting her meet the boy from the Chen family. Maybe they will fall in love with each other."

"Originally, I shouldn't tell these things to young girls like you, but your third brother and the Chen family kid have a good relationship, right? Go back and ask your third brother what the Chen family kid likes. I'll see if I can please him and make this a good couple, right?"

The more Zhong Ruyi listened, the more expressionless her face became. At this moment, Aunt Wu's little daughter Zhong Qingqing came out yawning, "Mom, what are we going to eat tonight? I've been feeling dizzy lately. I think I'm too weak. How about you kill a chicken for me tonight to replenish my body?"

Aunt Wu's eldest daughter-in-law Sun Huaxiang and second daughter-in-law Du Baoyu looked at each other, curled their lips and said nothing. They waited to see what their mother-in-law would say. If a chicken was really killed by their sister-in-law's words, they would definitely have to pick it up.

They were all fed up with this sister-in-law. She slept all day at home, did no work, and was always fighting for food with the two children at home. It would be so funny if people told others about this.

It’s better to have a married sister-in-law. She can help take care of the children when she is busy. She takes care of all the housework and I don’t have to worry at all.

Ugh!

I hope this sister-in-law can get married soon, or go and cause trouble for other families instead of staying at home and making them angry.

Aunt Wu rolled her eyes. "You don't do any work all day long. Are you tired? I think you just don't do enough work. How about this? Starting tomorrow, you will be responsible for washing the clothes at home. If you wash clothes more often, you won't feel dizzy anymore."

Hearing this, Zhong Qingqing, who had been pretending to walk unsteadily, immediately jumped up and down, "Mom, I must have slept too long, so I won't wash the clothes. Let my sisters-in-law do this important thing."

Aunt Wu rolled her eyes when she heard such shameless words, "If you continue like this, who can you marry in the future? Even if you marry Wang Laizi, he will still think you are lazy!"

Zhong Qingqing sat next to Zhong Ruyi and pouted, "Mom, how can you say that about your own daughter? Who is Wang Laizi? Can I marry him? Are you willing?"

Seeing that her mother ignored her, she looked at Zhong Ruyi again, "Why haven't I seen you before? Whose family are you from?"

Aunt Wu patted her on the shoulder and said, "How rude! This is your uncle Zhong's daughter. You are two years older than her, so you should call her sister."

Zhong Qingqing then remembered that Uncle Zhong had a stupid daughter at home, but she heard that she was well now.

She tilted her head and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?"

Zhong Ruyi smiled slightly and said, "Yes, there is something, auntie, see you tomorrow."

"Okay, OK, I'll come find you tomorrow!" Aunt Wu agreed.
