Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

There was only half an hour for lunch, so the two of them hurried to finish their meal and prepared to take a break before going back to work. They just lay down on the table in the store for a while.

When the time was almost up, Zhong Ruyi called out to the two of them softly, "Brother Dongzhi, Third Brother, it's almost time, we should go back to the dock."

Seeing that both of them were awake, Zhong Ruyi took out the water bag and sesame cakes that she had filled while they were sleeping.

"Third brother, Brother Dongzhi, the water bag is full of water. Here are some sesame cakes. You can take them and fill your stomachs after work." Zhong Ruyi handed over a cloth bag with six sesame cakes in it.

Zhong's mother bought them when she went shopping for vegetables at noon. She bought them so that they could eat when they were hungry after work. Otherwise, they would have to go back to the village hungry, which would be too miserable.

Holding the water bag and the cloth bag, Zhong Laosan said hello and walked out first. Chen Dongzhi walked behind him and wanted to say something, but because of the second brother Zhong who was eyeing him in the store, he couldn't say it, and half an hour was almost up.

Thinking that he would talk about it next time when there was no one around, he shyly wondered if he would be the boyfriend that Ruyi was talking about next time.

Zhong Ruyi watched the two people walk away and returned to the store. Aunt Chen from next door was standing at the door, peeking out. When she saw her come back, she pulled her over to talk to her.

Aunt Chen looked at Chen Dongzhi and Zhong Laosan who had already walked away, and whispered in Zhong Ruyi's ear, "Ruyi, tell me secretly, are you attracted to that handsome young man?"

She said that she had seen this young man before. He came to ask her when Zhongji closed the store for the first time!

It turned out that the two of them fell in love with each other at that time. However, it was normal. The girl from the Zhong family was good at business, had good cooking skills, and was also good-looking.

That handsome young man was tall and handsome, and he looked very honest. Mother Zhong said that he used to be a soldier, and now he has retired and returned to farm.

He was good at hunting and it was said that he had shot deer several times, each of which was sold for dozens of taels of silver!

This guy is pretty good! He can hunt and farm, and he looks energetic. He can be a good match for Ruyi.

Aunt Chen knew that Mr. Zhong, who sold wontons next door, had a younger sister, but she had never met him, and Mr. Zhong and his wife rarely talked about this younger sister.

Who would have thought that after a few days back the couple actually brought their sister back to do business. This girl was also smart and actually came up with a recipe for braised food. In the past few months, Zhongji's business has increased several times.

Aunt Chen loves to eat. She was a greedy girl before she got married, and she is still the same after she got married.

She had eaten all the better food in the town, but she didn't expect that the girl from the Zhong family was such a good cook. In the eyes of a foodie, this was much better than being able to embroider or weave!

Zhong Ruyi didn't expect Aunt Chen to notice these things. She exclaimed, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Aunt, I don't have that kind of relationship with him." Not now, but maybe in the future.

Aunt Chen thought she was shy and embarrassed, so she didn't ask any more questions. She just told her to be careful when judging people and not to be fooled by appearances.

Zhong Ruyi nodded, thanked Aunt Chen for her kindness, talked to her a few words about her second sister-in-law, and then left.

When she entered the store, she found her second brother still sitting at the table. When he saw her come back, he waved to her and motioned for her to sit down too.

Zhong Ruyi was puzzled. Normally, her second brother would have nothing to do at this time, so he would take out the money box and count how much money he had sold today. Judging from the way he acted, he must be waiting for her to come back and talk about something.

She asked directly: "Second brother, what's wrong, is there a problem with your business?"

Zhong Laoer looked at his sister carefully. She was no longer as silly as before, but now she was lively and smart. He used to think that his sister would be like that in her life.

When their parents get old, the burden of taking care of their younger sister will fall on them, the brothers. Fortunately, the wives he and his eldest brother married are kind-hearted and have never disliked their younger sister in all the years they have been married.

The brothers never thought of selling their younger sister after their parents were gone. As long as they had food to eat, they were not afraid of her starving. God was watching over them, and her younger sister suddenly got better.

If my younger sister gets married, her future brother-in-law must be a man of good character who can live a good life with her and love her.

Chen Dongzhi grew up with them. When he was young, this guy was a blockhead. He would only respond to you one out of ten sentences you spoke to him. But he was very good at fighting.

Even though Zhong Laosan calls Dongzhi brother all the time now, this guy gets beaten the most, and every time he gets beaten, it is because he provokes Chen Dongzhi.

He had just been sitting here alone thinking for a long time. When Zhong's mother asked him why he was sitting there stupidly and asked him to go in and take a nap, he just answered perfunctorily.

Seeing his sister still looking at him with a puzzled look, Zhong Lao Er cleared his throat and said, "That Chen Dongzhi seems to have some feelings for you. He..."

Zhong Lao Er considered what to say before continuing, "He has been a taciturn person since he was young. He is not someone who would take the initiative to cause trouble."

"He wanted to go to the frontline. We and several other people who grew up with him in the village tried to persuade him. Swords have no eyes. No matter how good he was at fighting, how could his flesh and blood be compared with a sharp sword? No matter if we or his parents persuaded him, he would go. He was very stubborn!"

Zhong Ruyi listened seriously, it would be good to know more about him. She was indeed attracted by Chen Dongzhi's good looks at first, but after getting to know him a few times, she found that he was calm and reliable. His personality was a bit dull, but she didn't like noisy people like her third brother.

"Uncle Chen used to be a capable man, but unfortunately he didn't recover after a fall, and his health is not as good as before. A cold took his life! He and Aunt Chen get along well. If you really marry him in the future, based on my understanding of Chen Dongzhi, he will definitely treat you well. Otherwise, he won't be afraid of the three of us beating him up."

Seeing that her second brother was talking more and more off topic, and had already started talking about how many children she and Chen Dongzhi had after marriage, and what to do if they were bullied, she was a little amused and interrupted her second brother quickly.

"Second brother, isn't it too early for you to say this now? He and I haven't reached this stage yet. We are just in the process of getting to know each other."

Brother Zhong was surprised. "Then from the looks of you two, I thought you two were already together."

Zhong Ruyi blushed at what her second brother said. How could he say that? How could he say that his sister was in love with another man?

Brother Zhong realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly changed his words: "It was my brother who said something wrong, don't take it to heart."

"Anyway, if you really get along with that kid from the Chen family, my second brother won't object, but that kid from the Chen family is a little too dull, can you stand it?"
