Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

After staying at home for two days, Zhong Ruyi still wanted to go to the town to look for a restaurant. Although she has settled down now and doesn't need her to watch over it all the time, this is her first store after all, so she will always think about it.

Taking Zhang Mingzhu along who wanted to go along, the two of them returned to town with Jiang Qin, who had gone back to the village to catch chickens and rabbits in the morning.

"Boss, Mrs. Jiang is in trouble!"

Sun Tao, who had just had some free time, told everything that had happened during this period with a gloating look on his face.

It turned out that old lady Jiang came to the store as usual that day, hoping to drive away the customers by offering free food and drinks, but she happened to meet a table of customers from other places. When they saw an old lady like her, they sat down and wanted to eat the food they ordered with their hands.

In a fit of rage, he beat the man up and threw him out.

The blow was not severe, and Mrs. Jiang only suffered superficial injuries, but the retribution was unstoppable.

Old Mrs. Jiang went home cursing. On her way home, she saw a bucket of clean clothes on the side of the road. To vent her anger, she stepped forward and kicked the bucket, but she lost her balance and fell into the river.

When he was rescued, he was already dying. Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang were unwilling to take care of him when they carried him home.

Only Jiang Si Niang stayed by his side until he finally felt better.

But she didn't expect that one night when she had just recovered, she suddenly fell into a deep sleep for some reason. When she woke up, all her private money was gone, along with Jiang Si Niang.

When she woke up from a sleep, Mrs. Jiang felt as if the sky had fallen down. She was so helpless for a moment that she collapsed on the spot. When she woke up again, half of her body was unconscious.

However, although Jiang Si Niang ran away with the money, she soon got it back.

She eloped with a man from the same village, but in the middle of the night the man drugged her using the same method and took away her money.

She was penniless and even though she knew she would be beaten to death, she still came back.

Old Mrs. Jiang's mouth was twisted and she couldn't speak, so the job of serving naturally fell on her, the culprit.

Zhong Ruyi listened with great interest, and Sun Tao became even more excited seeing that she loved listening.

But at this time several guests came, so she had to reluctantly go back to the kitchen to continue her work.

As soon as she left, Wei took over and said, "Boss, let me continue the conversation."

Zhong Ruyi asked curiously, "How did you know?"

Could it be that Old Mrs. Jiang dragged her sick body here to act pitiful in an attempt to soften Sun Tao and Jiang Qin's hearts?

Wei smiled and said, "Boss, you forgot that Jiangjia Village is so close to the town. People from the village often carry things to the town to sell. If something like this happens, won't people talk about it? Just look, when Ah Tao and I went to the street to buy vegetables, we happened to meet people from Jiangjia Village, and they told us."

It turned out to be the case.

As soon as the dishes were served, Sun Tao came over with an excited look on his face, wanting to continue talking about what had just happened. But when he found out that Wei had already finished, he smacked his lips with a bit of regret.

"Boss, can you take this away?"

A table of guests suddenly shouted loudly, and Zhong Ruyi immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Sir, we can take away the food here, but we will charge a takeaway fee of five cents."

"Okay, then please pack five servings of this cold rabbit for me. I'm in a hurry, please be quick." The customer nodded and took out a piece of change and gave it to her.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Mingzhu came over from the canteen. It seemed that the egg cakes were selling well today.

This story started when they were still in the village. At that time, she and Cuicui kept pestering Zhong Ruyi, saying that they wanted to eat cake.

The cake is high in calories, and she was afraid it would be bad for the two of them to eat too much, so she only agreed to make it once.

These two people are really greedy. When they can't eat cake, they go up the mountain to look for wild fruits.

Otherwise, I would go to the workshop and help make pork jerky and meat floss, making half and eating the other half.

Unable to bear it any longer, Zhong Ruyi taught the two how to make egg cake. After they discussed it together, they decided to come to the town to sell egg cakes and set up a small stall in front of the convenience store.

Cuicui did not come with them, saying that she would let her cousin test the waters first, and she would come again if the sales were good.

Although Zhang Mingzhu felt a little tired as she had been standing at the door of the convenience store for a whole day, Jiang Yun couldn't bear to see her and brought her a small stool to sit on.

But fortunately, all the egg cakes she made were sold out, and some people even asked her if she would come tomorrow, which made her very happy.

Seeing how happy she was, Zhong Ruyi asked her how much she had earned that day.

"One hundred and twenty coins!"

A piece of egg cake costs three cents. Although this price is a bit expensive, it is made of eggs, sugar and flour. Once customers have eaten it, they will know that the ingredients are very real and the three cents are well worth it!

"Are you still going tomorrow?"

Zhang Mingzhu frowned. Beating the egg whites and yolks really made her hands sore for a long time, but one hundred and twenty coins a day was the most she had ever earned in her life.

She nodded vigorously. "Go! I'll find Jiang Qin and ask him to bring Cuicui here tomorrow. We can do more if we work together. We can split the money from the sales!"

She was so motivated, Zhong Ruyi encouraged her with a smile, "Then work hard, go to my yard with Cuicui to sleep at night, and get up early tomorrow."

Since it was their first time sleeping in the small courtyard bought by Chen Dongzhi, they were both a little scared, so they slept together in the west wing.

The next morning, they both got up early and Zhong Ruyi helped her. There was an automatic egg beater in the space, but it was difficult to take it out.

After finally finishing the job, Zhang Mingzhu hurriedly picked up the basket and rushed to the store.

It was not until Jiang Qin came back that Cuicui went over to help sell egg cakes.

In the next few days, the two adjusted their time sequence. One of them would take the finished products out to sell first, so as to catch up with the morning market. The other would continue to make them in the yard and deliver them over after they were done. They would sell as much as possible.

While the two were setting up the stall, Zhong Ruyi was also busy. The customer who had packed five servings of cold rabbit that day came back again. This time he didn't come to eat, but wanted to poach Sun Tao!

She was shocked when she heard the news, because the customer came directly to Sun Tao and said in front of her that he would pay her ten taels of silver a month and asked her to work for this customer.

"Me, me?" Sun Tao pointed at himself in disbelief.

Seeing the customer nod, she looked at her boss for help.

Zhong Ruyi coughed twice and said, "Sir, isn't it a bit unfair for you to poach someone right in front of me?"

The middle-aged man did not show any guilty feeling, but laughed heartily, "Little girl."

He glanced at the bun that Zhong Ruyi had combed, and then changed his address to boss. He smiled and said, "You don't know, I go to Wuzhou all year round. There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in this place, and the weather is always humid, which makes people feel uncomfortable. Although the food there is delicious, their spicy dishes are made differently from yours. I also have a chef who cooks for me when I travel with me, but I'm new here and I always want to change my taste, so I came to your restaurant."

Speaking of the abundance of snakes, insects, rats and ants and heavy humidity, Zhong Ruyi thought of the Fang family who had opened more than a dozen restaurants in Nanzhou.

I thought that the Fang family was still a little slow. They hadn't even expanded to Wuzhou. They really weren't working hard enough.

But no matter how humid Wuzhou was, she could not let Sun Tao follow this guest to Wuzhou.

Sun Tao is not a commodity that can be delivered back and forth. If the customer today wanted a teacup or a bowl from her store, she would definitely give it to him directly.

Seeing that he was rejected, the guest was not angry. He turned sideways and said to Sun Tao, "I will be at Fulai Inn during this period. If you have this intention, come to me. I can help you solve the rest."

He made it clear that if Sun Tao was really willing, then he could go to Fulai Inn to find him. He would be responsible for handling the people and affairs in the inn.
