Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

As soon as the sun rose, Zhong Ruyi got up immediately and rested for a few days. His illness recovered, but he still smelled bad.

When she was ill, Zhong's mother and others only dared to use some hot water to wipe her body. It had been a few days, and Zhong Ruyi felt like she was a pickle in a pickle jar. As soon as the sun rose, she wanted to boil water for a bath.

Although you can wash it in the space, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, it is better to wash it at home.

I went to the kitchen to boil some water. When I went in, I saw that Mrs. Zhong was already inside making breakfast. When she heard the sound, she turned her head and asked in surprise, "Little sister, why are you up so early? Are you hungry?"

Zhong Ruyi smiled a little embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, I want to take a bath. I feel smelly." Sister-in-law Zhong smiled knowingly, "Then wait a minute. I'll boil some hot water for you to take a bath after breakfast."

After finishing my meal and taking a shower, I took a slow stroll around the yard.

The Zhong family's yard is quite large. Some of their ancestors were officials several generations ago. Although they fell into decline later, the land and houses they left behind are enough to support the family now. Moreover, Zhong's father and mother are both hardworking and capable people, and their children are also hardworking and persevering. They have saved money slowly, and the house they live in is the largest in the village except for the village chief's.

On the north side is a main room, which is spacious and bright, and is usually used for dining and entertaining guests. Next to the main room are the rooms of Mr. and Mrs. Zhong. The room next to them belongs to the original owner. On the east side should be the room of the eldest brother and his wife, and there are two rooms next to them, which should belong to the second brother and his wife.

The third brother is not married yet, and sometimes a few little boys will come and sleep with him.

To the west is the kitchen and utility room. The yard is surrounded by a wall, and a well is next to the wall. The walls of ordinary houses are surrounded by bamboo fences, but only the Zhong family is so generous that not only the house is made of blue bricks and tiles, but also the walls are built of fine stones.

After sighing for a while, she went around to the back of the house. The vegetable garden, toilet, chicken coop and pigpen were all behind it. There were also a few pigs in the pigpen, grunting.

The yard was kept very clean, without any bad smells from raising so many poultry. The more Zhong Ruyi looked at it, the more she liked it.

In modern times, she worries every day about how to make more money. She is busy with studies and making money and has no time to stop and rest. Occasionally, an idea flashes through her mind that when she is old, she can buy a small yard in the countryside with good air. Whether she is alone or has a family with the person she loves, living a simple life with the daily necessities of life can also be a kind of happiness.

It was a pity that God had played such a big joke on her. She didn't know if she could go back. But even if she went back, she would not have survived at the speed she was falling at when she was hit by the car. Thinking of this, she sighed with melancholy.

Zhong Ruyi looked around the yard and found that everyone had gone to work. Just now, Zhong's mother had gone out with a small basket, saying that she was going out to see if there were any wild vegetables in the mountains to pick and bring back to eat.

Mr. Zhong and his brothers went to the fields, while Mrs. Zhong's eldest and second sisters-in-law were mending clothes in the house. They had a good relationship and did not have the usual conflicts between sisters-in-law.

Then she and a few children were left at home. She came up with a plan and went to find her eldest brother's daughter Cuicui. The two of them agreed to go to the mountain where Zhong's mother picked wild vegetables, which was not far away anyway.

There were people everywhere in the village, and they all looked surprised when they saw her. Several people gathered together and whispered.

"Isn't that the youngest daughter of the Zhong family? How could the Zhong family bear to let her go out? Didn't they say before that they were afraid that the wind and sun outside would damage her heart?"

"What's the point of being afraid of the sun and the wind? Isn't she just a moron? Are you going to let her out and embarrass herself at home?"

"Hey, look at her eyes. Could it be that she is no longer stupid and has become normal?"

Cuicui was close by, so she could hear some of the gossip. She had heard even uglier things before, like how the great-grandfather's generation had done something sinful and the retribution was coming to the younger generation, because the little aunt they gave birth to was a moron.

Things are different now. My aunt has become better. She no longer needs help with eating and bathing like before. She can talk now and looks pretty when she smiles. Cui Cui held her head high and walked past them with a snort.

"You little girl!" Several women spat at her, but they did not dare to be too blatant. After all, the Zhong family loved this silly girl. If people knew that they talked about it to Zhong Ruyi, they would be chased by the Zhong family and beaten up.

The two walked and looked around, and finally went up the mountain. Halfway there, they met Zhong's mother, who had just returned from picking some wild onions. She told them not to walk too far, in case it got dark and they couldn't see the road clearly.

On the mountain, Zhong Ruyi made a wreath and put it on Cuicui's head, which made the little girl very happy. The two of them walked deeper and deeper into the mountain, one of them holding a wooden stick and poking everywhere.

Suddenly, Zhong Ruyi parted the grass and saw a plant with red fruits hanging on it. She was so happy that she threw away her stick and jumped on it. Chili! This is chili!

These days, Mother Zhong had been asking her to eat a light diet on the grounds that she had just recovered from an illness. Her mouth was almost tasteless. However, when Mother Zhong wasn't paying attention, she secretly tasted their food. It was a little salty but not much, and there was no chili in the dishes. She didn't know if there was no chili in that dynasty or what.

Cuicui saw her rushing to pick peppers, and hurriedly followed her, "Aunt, this is not delicious. If you are hungry, I will go somewhere else to see if there are any fruits to pick. Don't eat this."

Zhong Ruyi pulled the hem of her clothes and came out to pick all the peppers and pack them up. She didn't pay any attention to what Cuicui said. She just wanted to pick all the peppers. After picking this one, she looked around and found that there were still a few more. The red and green colors were particularly beautiful.

Cuicui was so anxious that she was getting angry. "Aunt, this is really not delicious. We have eaten it before and it is not delicious at all. It hurts the mouth of the person who eats it."

After Zhong Ruyi finished picking the fruits from all around, she looked at Cuicui and saw her pouting. She found it a little funny and said, "How do you eat it? Do you just eat it raw like this?" After saying that, she pretended to pick up one and put it in her mouth.

Cuicui hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Aunt, this thing will hit people in the mouth, don't do it!" Seeing Zhong Ruyi looking at her with a smile and having no intention of putting it in her mouth, she realized that she was being teased and she felt relieved.

"Come on, let's go home. This thing is not for eating raw. It's for cooking."

When she thought of all kinds of spicy dishes, such as fried pork with peppers and spicy chicken, her mouth began to water. She urged Cuicui to hurry back home. She ignored the villagers who were pointing and talking on the way and just went straight back home.
