Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Zhong Ruyi finished selling today's braised goods, stretched her body, and prepared to wash several large wooden basins filled with braised goods. She also cleaned up the yard and fed the rabbits.

These two rabbits are quite tenacious. Before that, Zhong Ruyi and his companions went back to the village for two days and left some vegetable leaves for them. They thought that the rabbits would be wilted when they came back after two days, but it turned out that the two rabbits were still alive and kicking.

One of them has a big belly and will probably give birth in a few months.

Now, in addition to her feeding the baby, sometimes her mother and second brother will help feed the baby when she doesn’t have time.

At first, Zhong's mother did not agree with her raising two rabbits. She felt that running a business every day was tiring enough, and raising two rabbits would be even more tiring.

But she couldn't persuade her daughter, so she just kept it. After all, rabbits don't eat as much or poop as pigs.

"As one wishes!"

Just when she stacked a few wooden basins together and was about to take them in, she heard someone calling her. When she turned around, it was Chen Dongzhi!

He was holding a jar and basket in his hands and was looking at her with a smile.

"Brother Dongzhi!" She went up to him with a look of surprise, "How come you have time to come to town?"

Before she could reply, she grabbed his hand and walked into the store, "Come on, let's go into the store and talk. Don't stand on the curb and get caught in the wind."

After entering the store, Chen Dongzhi put the jars and baskets he brought on the table.

"This is the pickled radish my mother made, and the ones in this basket are wild vegetables."

Pickled sour radish!

The sour radish she had been thinking about!

My second sister-in-law had eaten all the food at home, so she only brought some pickled beans and pickled cucumbers, but she still wanted to eat pickled radishes the most.

She was very happy, "How did you know I wanted to eat pickled radish?"

Chen Dongzhi tried to remain calm and said, "I asked your third brother and he told me."

He didn't say that when he went to ask Zhong Laosan, he was scolded by Zhong Laosan in a sarcastic tone.

In his opinion, this was normal. If it were him, he would not be able to accept the fact that his sister was in a relationship with his brother.

Zhong Ruyi was a little shy and too embarrassed to look at Chen Dongzhi's face, so she could only lower her head and touch the edge of the basket with her fingers.

"Oh! Isn't this mustard greens?" She looked surprised. At first it was covered with a cloth.

Chen Dongzhi said it was a wild vegetable, and she thought it was wild onion, but it turned out to be shepherd's purse.

"This is what Xiaoxue and Xiaoman dug. They dug a lot and asked me to help take it to the town to sell. Xiaoxue specially left these for me to give to you."

I really didn’t expect that Xiaoxue was still thinking about her.

"Ruyi, who's here?"

Mother Zhong was washing several wooden basins filled with braised food in the yard. She heard someone talking in the shop in front and asked.

"Mom, it's Brother Dongzhi!" After saying that, she turned to Chen Dongzhi and said, "Brother Dongzhi, please sit here for a while. I'll go in and put my things away and come out later."

Chen Dongzhi nodded, watched her figure disappear around the corner, picked up the teacup, drank a sip of tea, and sat quietly.

Soon, Zhong Ruyi ran into the yard in two steps.

Mrs. Zhong saw her running in hurriedly and asked her what was wrong.

Zhong Ruyi put the jar and shepherd's purse in the kitchen, turned around and said to her mother, "Mom, Brother Dongzhi, bring a jar of pickled radish and shepherd's purse. Let's eat shepherd's purse dumplings tonight!"

"Okay!" Just as Zhong Ruyi walked out, Zhong's mother asked, "Where are you going?"

As Zhong Ruyi walked, he said, "Brother Dongzhi and I are going out for a walk and will be back soon!"

Zhong's mother was just about to say that since she was going out, she could buy some rice and flour because the stock in the store had run out, but her daughter was nowhere to be seen.

It’s so big that you can’t help your mother!

"Brother Dongzhi! Let's go for a walk!"

When Zhong Ruyi came out, she saw him sitting upright. When she heard that she was going out, she quickly stood up.

After they left the store, Zhong Ruyi asked him if he wanted to buy anything.

Chen Dongzhi shook his head and said, "I came here to help Xiaoxue sell shepherd's purse today."

Zhong Ruyi asked curiously, "Have you sold all the shepherd's purse you brought?"

Chen Dongzhi said, "We've sold them all. I had some good relations with a merchant who I bought from before, so this time I took them to him and he wanted them all. I sold 50 kilograms for 400 coins."

"So many? Xiaoxue is working so hard!"

Zhong Ruyi didn't expect that Xiaoxue, a little girl, could dig dozens of kilograms of shepherd's purse with her brother. Although this thing grows everywhere in season, it is not easy to dig so much.

The two talked as they walked, and various shouts came one after another in the market.

There are people selling steamed buns and sesame cakes, people selling candied figurines and candied haws, people carrying poles and selling cakes, and people setting up stalls to sell cold water. The various sounds of people coming and going intertwine together to form the various aspects of life.

Zhong Ruyi walked and stopped along the way. It was not like she had not been to the market before, but this time the person who went with her was someone she liked, so the feeling was different.

The two stopped at a juggling stall and watched the stall owner swallowing a knife and breathing fire, with cheers coming from all around.

We have seen this kind of acrobatics many times in modern times, but it is still thrilling every time we watch it.

She stared at the stall owner's actions intently and clapped and cheered with the people around her.

Before leaving, she threw a few copper coins into the small wooden box on the stall. A generous customer threw a piece of silver into it, which attracted everyone's attention.

"Brother Dongzhi, shall we go check that out?"

The place where Zhong Ruyi pointed was a newly opened pastry shop. Aunt Chen from next door said that the prices in this newly opened shop were still very cheap.

But she didn't have time to come and take a look. It happened that she came out with Chen Dongzhi this time, so she went to take a look and buy some to bring back for Cuicui and Xiaoxue.

She grabbed Chen Dongzhi's hand, and they walked into the pastry shop hand in hand. He was a little depressed because Zhong Ruyi's attention was attracted by the acrobatics.

He no longer had any emotions, his hand was held in front of so many people, even though no one might have seen it, he couldn't help but secretly feel happy in his heart.

They were dragged into the shop hand in hand, and there were other people inside.

One of the waiters came over quickly after seeing off the previous customer.

The waiter had just the right smile on his face, not too enthusiastic nor perfunctory, "What do you want to buy? Do you want to give it to others or eat it at home?"

Zhong Ruyi smiled and said, "I want to buy it as a gift. Can you recommend it to me? Or which ones are selling well in your store?"

The waiter listened to the customers' request and took them both to a counter.

"Girl, these are the best-selling products since we opened the store. The price is not expensive and many people buy them. You can take a look. These are for tasting." He said, pointing to the dozen or so cakes on the counter.

There's even a food tasting?

Not bad, not bad! Zhong Ruyi gave one piece to Chen Dongzhi and took another piece for herself, "Brother Dongzhi, let's try one each, and if it tastes good, we'll buy it!"

Chen Dongzhi took the pastry she handed over, looked at her smiling face and took a bite.

Zhong Ruyi asked expectantly, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

He nodded, "Not bad, not too sweet."

"Okay! Then you can have the one in your hand. Mine is also delicious."

In the end I ordered these two types, two packs of each, which cost me eighty cents in total.

Zhong Ruyi took the cake wrapped in oil paper from the waiter, took out the purse from his pocket and was about to pay.

The other hand gave the money faster than her.

Zhong Ruyi quickly stopped him, "Brother Dongzhi! This is what I want to buy as a gift, take the money back quickly."

Chen Dongzhi didn't listen to her and gave the money directly to the waiter. The waiter was also very sensible and went to the counter to give change after taking the money.

Zhong Ruyi was helpless, "Brother Dongzhi, I won't dare to go out with you if you do this again!"

These pastries were bought for Xiaoxue and Cuicui, but now that Chen Dongzhi had paid for them first, Zhong Ruyi didn't know what to say.

After leaving the pastry shop, Zhong Ruyi complained to him in a low voice, "Brother Dongzhi, don't do this next time. I told you that I bought this as a gift, and you still paid for it!"

"...What's wrong with me spending money on someone I like?"

When these words were spoken, Zhong Ruyi was a little angry at first, but when she heard this, her cheeks turned slightly red and she didn't say anything else.
