Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 117

Mother Zhong slowed down her eating of grapes. How could she not know the mood of the Third Child?

She sighed, her face full of worry, "Your third brother is a stubborn guy. He was hurt by the previous couples who came to see him. People in the village secretly said that he is not as good as your two older brothers."

"Your third brother doesn't seem to care, but he actually does. If Zhou Yuru's family wasn't such a burden to her, I would be willing to marry her even if she's a little cunning, but look at this!"

Mother Zhong became angrier and angrier as she spoke. If the price for her younger son to marry Zhou Yuru was to let her daughter be schemed against, then she would rather her younger son remain a bachelor all his life, just like Wang Laizi. Didn't Wang Laizi live a good life without a wife?

Zhong Ruyi quickly reached out and patted her mother on the back, fearing that she would get sick from anger.

"Every family has its own problems! Before your aunt got married, she was always making trouble at home, which made your grandma's health worse and worse. She even dared to secretly get pregnant with someone else!"

"What can you do in the end? Your grandma can only marry her off. In less than two years, she will be gone!"

Mother Zhong still felt sorry for her mother-in-law when she thought of her own mother-in-law. That kind-looking old lady had suffered all her life, and in her old age she was even angered to death by the daughter she had raised with so much effort.

"Your grandma was always worried and couldn't sleep because she gave birth to two children. I'm so stupid! Why did I give birth to so many children? Wouldn't it be enough to give birth to you?"

She rolled her eyes, but when she thought that without a son there would be no daughter, she fell silent again.

Zhong Ruyi was amused by her and laughed, "Mom! You and Dad are the best parents in the world!"

She reached out and hugged Zhong's mother, and the mother and daughter snuggled together.

"Forget it. I'm not going to care about your third brother's affairs. It would be best if he can find someone to live with. If he really finds someone bad, I will separate them and let them live alone! Let's see who dares to set their sights on you!"

"......" Zhong Ruyi.

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Go to sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow!"

The two chatted for a while, slowly felt sleepy, and fell into a deep sleep.

When the store opened for business the next morning, Zhong Ruyi had just distributed wooden signs to the customers when he heard a familiar customer chatting with another customer.

She stopped and listened for a moment.

"Have you ever been to that newly opened braised food store?"

"No, it's a bit far away. I thought since Zhongji had only been back for two days, I was too lazy to go there to buy it. So? Did you go?"

The customer curled his lips, "I was so anxious that I went there once. It smelled pretty good when I was there, but it was so different when I bought it back home! They didn't even clean the sewage!"

"The taste is not right, it's bitter! I always say cheap products are not good! They don't limit the number of servings per day, you can buy as much as you want, but I think if they still taste like this, I don't think I will be able to stay for long."

After listening to a few words, Zhong Ruyi went in and continued to work. It seemed that this newly opened braised food shop did not make the correct braised food ingredients. If they could improve the taste, perhaps the business would be better. If it remained the same as it is now, it probably would not last long.

At noon, I prepared some braised food for the customers who had received the cards, and distributed the rest to the customers who had not received the cards, and then prepared to close the shop.

Aunt Chen brought a bowl over at this time, "Ruyi!"

Zhong Ruyi quickly let her in. Aunt Chen carried the bowl and put it on the table. "Ruyi, this is what my eldest daughter-in-law brought back from her parents' home this morning. She said her father went to the newly opened stewed food store to buy it! She brought some back for me to try. So, I'll bring some over for you to try too! See if there's anything different."

When Mrs. Zhong heard the noise, she also came out. When she heard that it was the newly opened braised food shop that bought the food, she didn't hear the idle chat between the two customers in the morning, and came over excitedly.

"Let me try it! Let me try it! Let me see how delicious their food is!"

As she spoke, she picked up a piece with her hand and put it in her mouth. After chewing it twice, she suddenly felt that the taste was a little wrong. She frowned, chewed it a few more times and then swallowed it.

Zhong Ruyi and Aunt Chen looked at her expectantly. Aunt Chen hadn't tasted it yet, so she asked eagerly, "Sister Li, how is it? Is it delicious?"

Before trying the braised food at this new restaurant, Zhong's mother was a little worried, but now she is full of confidence.

He pushed the bowl in front of the two of them and said, "You two should try it too! It's not bad."

She didn't tell them how she felt after eating it, and just let them try it themselves.

Zhong Ruyi had heard about it from a customer in the morning and had a general idea in her mind. After putting it in her mouth, she felt it was quite good. At least it was much better than she expected.

Aunt Chen was different. She had always eaten Zhongji’s braised food and had never been hungry before, so naturally she had never eaten authentic pig offal.

The result is predictable. Aunt Chen almost spit it out after chewing it twice.

She looked at Zhong's mother with a bitter face.

Mother Zhong didn't expect her to react so strongly, so she quickly held out her hand and said, "If you really can't eat it, spit it out in my hand!"

Aunt Chen tried to hold back and swallowed it anyway. Zhong Ruyi quickly poured some water for her to clear her mouth.

After drinking a glass of water, Aunt Chen was still frightened, "Why is it bitter? And a little smelly!"

They smell similar, but taste so different.

She felt a little embarrassed. She should have tried it at home before bringing it over. If she had known it would taste like this, she would never have brought it over!

Zhong's mother said, "I thought the food in the newly opened braised food shop would be so good! But it's just like this."

Aunt Chen nodded and smiled awkwardly, "I thought the taste wouldn't be that bad! I didn't expect it to be so bad!"

In fact, it tastes okay, but Aunt Chen had such a big reaction because she is used to Zhongji’s braised food. Other customers just felt it was a bit bitter.

"It's probably because the pig offal was not cleaned properly, and the proportion of their marinade is not right, so it tastes bitter." Zhong Ruyi said truthfully.

Finally, Aunt Chen took the bowl of braised food back home, saying that she was going to give it to the beggars on the street because she really couldn't stand the taste.

Zhong Ruyi thought that today's marinade had been almost used up, and the rest was only enough for one or two uses.

"Mom, go out and buy some spices. The store doesn't have enough."

Mother Zhong asked her second brother to look after the store while she and her daughter went out to buy things.

"Mom, do you want to buy anything else?" Zhong Ruyi asked.

Mother Zhong thought for a moment and said, "I'll go buy some cloth to make some small clothes for your second sister-in-law's baby. Your second sister-in-law is pregnant now, so it's not good for her to keep sewing. It's bad for her eyes."

Zhong Ruyi nodded, "Okay, let's go to the cloth shop first. It happens to be close by. After buying cloth, we can go buy the raw materials."

When they arrived at the fabric shop, Zhong's mother picked out some brightly colored fabrics. They would look good on the baby!

When I was about to leave after buying something, I was blocked right in front of the store. A horse-drawn carriage was blocking the way.

Zhong Ruyi thought about waiting for the people to pass before leaving. Mother Zhong reached out and touched the pieces of cloth, talking to her as she touched them.

As a result, the carriage did not just pass by, but stopped, and the people in the carriage wanted to get off.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Zhong Ruyi felt as if she saw a fairy, and her eyes followed the fairy unconsciously.

She has fair skin and a beautiful face. She is wearing a smoky red satin outer gown. The moon-white skirt is embroidered with thousand-petal golden peonies. The accessories on her head are simple, but one can tell that they are of extraordinary value just by looking at the crabapple pearl hairpin. Her eyes are moving, but she has a charming look.

She had a beautiful oval face, skin as white as snow, almond eyes and rosy cheeks, and her expression was as charming as autumn water, which inexplicably gave people a desire to protect her.

Zhong Ruyi was almost stunned by what she saw. This girl was much more beautiful than those modern vase stars, and it was completely natural!

After the woman was helped down from the carriage, she turned around and reached out her hand toward the curtain again.

Zhong Ruyi was looking forward to the appearance of another beautiful woman, and she was watching her intently.

As a result, a wealthy woman came down. She was pretty, but not as stunning as the first woman who came down.
