Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

After closing the door, Mrs. Zhong turned around and saw her daughter and eldest granddaughter standing under the eaves and playing. Looking at her daughter's smiling face, an idea suddenly emerged in her mind, but it was quickly suppressed.

"Aunt, let's go to the mountain to pick wild fruits tomorrow. I heard from Xiaozhu today that there are a lot of hairy fruits growing on the mountain."

Hairy fruit? A fruit with hair? Kiwi? Zhong Ruyi thought about it and agreed to Cuicui. Cuicui said that she must get up early tomorrow to look for hairy fruit, otherwise the villagers would have picked them all if she went too late.

At night, Zhong Ruyi secretly ran to the chicken coop behind the house while everyone was asleep and swapped the chickens in the coop with the chickens in the space. During the day, Zhong Ruyi asked her mother why the chickens had changed so much overnight. Wouldn't the family become suspicious?

Zhong's mother told her not to worry. No matter whether her family members were suspicious or not, she would not want to waste such a fat chicken. Did they want to ask the villagers who had lost dozens of such fat chickens? They were not stupid.

Since Mrs. Zhong said so, she just did it with confidence. Anyway, the chickens were fed by her sister-in-law and Cuicui, and other people rarely came to the chicken coop. They didn't know whether the chickens were fat or not. As long as they could eat them, it was enough. They didn't eat less of the dishes today, right?

The sister-in-law, who was half asleep, seemed to hear the rooster crowing behind the house. She opened her eyes with difficulty and got up to see what was wrong with the rooster. The elder brother next to her was awakened by her and thought she wanted to drink water, so he sat up and poured her some water.

The eldest sister-in-law pushed away the cup of tea that the eldest brother handed to her and whispered, "I don't want to drink water. I just felt like I heard a chicken crowing. Could it be a weasel? No, I have to go check it out."

The eldest brother didn't let her go. "There's no rooster crowing. I didn't hear it even though I was sleeping outside. You who are sleeping inside can't possibly hear it. Don't go. Just go back to sleep."

The eldest sister-in-law was a little uncertain. Could it be that she had heard it wrong? Before she could think about it, the eldest brother put his arm around her shoulders and fell back to bed to continue sleeping.

When she got up early the next morning, the eldest sister-in-law took chicken feed to feed the chickens. When she opened the chicken coop, she was dumbfounded. After she came to her senses, she dropped the chicken feed and ran to find Zhong's mother.

"Mom! Mom! Something bad has happened!" The eldest sister-in-law hurried into the main room. Zhong's mother was sitting at the table eating breakfast. When she saw her running in in a panic, she thought something had happened.

When asked, she said that there was something wrong with the chicken and asked her to go and have a look. Zhong's mother didn't react at first, but later she saw her daughter winking at her, and she understood instantly that her daughter must have replaced the chicken when no one was paying attention.

Mother Zhong coughed, pretending not to notice the anxious look on her eldest daughter-in-law's face, and said, "Ahem! What's the hurry? Come and have breakfast first. I'll check on the chicken later."

The eldest sister-in-law was so anxious: "No, mother, please go and have a look, there is really something wrong with that chicken!"

Seeing her eldest daughter-in-law so anxious that sweat was coming out of her forehead, Mother Zhong had no choice but to follow her to the chicken coop.

The eldest sister-in-law opened the door of the chicken coop, but she didn't dare to go near. She stood far away and pointed at Mother Zhong: "Mom, look, I drove these chickens back to the chicken coop yesterday, and they were not like this yesterday. When I woke up this morning, they were like different chickens, and they are so big. I'm worried that they are sick."

Mother Zhong walked closer and took a look. She saw that the chicken was indeed very big, almost as big as the one from yesterday. She knew it was the chicken in her daughter's space.

When the eldest sister-in-law saw Zhong's mother approaching, the chickens started to cluck. The eldest sister-in-law was scared and quickly grabbed Zhong's mother, fearing that the chickens would suddenly run away.

When Zhong's mother was pulled by her nervous face, she quickly patted her on the shoulder and told her not to worry. Then she squatted down, grabbed a chicken in her hand, pretended to take a look, and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, it looks good." After that, she handed the chicken to her eldest daughter-in-law and asked her to take a look.

The eldest sister-in-law was frightened, but seeing that Zhong's mother was fine after grabbing it, she also plucked up the courage to take a look.

Seeing that the chicken was very obedient in Mother Zhong's hands, she also reached out to pluck the chicken's feathers and looked at it. There was indeed nothing wrong with it, and it didn't look sick, but how could it grow so big overnight? What kind of food should it eat to grow so big?

Mother Zhong turned her head and smiled secretly when her eldest daughter-in-law wasn't paying attention. After she finished laughing, she said, "This chicken must have grown up overnight. As the saying goes, girls change a lot when they grow up. This chicken may also change a lot, right? Don't worry, you are just too tired. I will kill a chicken for you to replenish your body later. This chicken is fat, so we can kill it and eat it."

When the two of them returned to the main room, Mr. Zhong was eating steamed buns and asked what happened to the chicken. Mrs. Zhong smiled and said it was okay and they would kill a chicken and eat it later.

Zhong Ruyi suddenly remembered that she would be going back to open the store tomorrow, so she asked her second brother and his wife, "Second brother and his wife are going to open the store tomorrow. Didn't we promise our customers that we would have new products when we go back tomorrow?"

The second sister-in-law nodded and said, "Yes, didn't we agree to sell braised chicken to see if it sells well? Then we can buy the chickens we use every day from farmers near the town, which will be cheaper."

Zhong Ruyi said: "How about we try to make braised chicken today?"

Zhong Ruyi must have eaten braised chicken in modern times before, but her second brother and sister-in-law had never eaten it, so she made it for them to try first so that they wouldn't worry about not being able to sell it.

Zhong's mother also agreed. Since she had never eaten this kind of food before, she should make it herself to see if it tastes good. Then she would have a better idea about it when she starts her business. It would be bad if she made too much and couldn't sell it.

After breakfast, Zhong Ruyi went to the chicken coop behind the house and caught a chicken. During the conversation, she pretended to be casual and remarked how the chicken had become so fat.

As expected, the eldest sister-in-law looked like she had something to say, "Little sister, let me tell you something. I heard a rooster crowing when I was sleeping last night. I wanted to come and take a look, but your eldest brother wouldn't let me."

"I always feel that something happened last night, which is why the chicken grew so big. Maybe some immortal passed by and cast a spell. Fortunately, I didn't go out last night, otherwise I would have interrupted the immortal's spell and the immortal would be angry."

Zhong Ruyi saw his sister-in-law's face full of assurance and couldn't help but chuckle. His sister-in-law was so cute. She couldn't figure something out but still found a reason to convince herself.

The eldest sister-in-law caught a chicken and gave it to the eldest brother to kill. When the eldest brother was killing it, he said why the chicken was so fat, and there was half a basin of fat in the belly. The eldest sister-in-law asked him to keep it so that he could use it to make chicken oil later.

The methods of making braised chicken and braised offal are the same, but the price of chicken is more expensive. Try selling one a day first. If sales are good, increase to two.

Zhong Ruyi boiled the water in the pot and threw a few eggs into it. The braised eggs were also delicious.

The eldest brother had already cut the chicken into pieces in advance, and kept the chicken liver, heart and intestines. Zhong Ruyi looked at the plate of spicy and sour chicken offal that her second sister-in-law had eaten half of last night, and thought that she liked it, so she decided to make it again tonight.

After the chicken was put into the pot, a few cooked eggs were also put in to cook together. Zhong Ruyi turned down the fire in the stove so that the chicken could cook slowly so that it could be flavored.
