Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Mother Zhong took the fruit knife and carefully cut the watermelon. As soon as the blade touched the watermelon, the watermelon began to crack.

The red juice flowed out and spread all over the table.

Zhong Ruyi reached out and broke the watermelon in half directly from the crack. With a crisp sound, the whole watermelon was broken into two halves just right.

He took out two large spoons from the space and each person used one to scoop and eat!

As soon as the spoon was taken out, Zhong's mother was curious for a long time before she took the spoon and started eating.

The first bite I took felt icy cool, sweet and thirst-quenching, with sweet juice and crispy meat.

Her eyes were shining with joy. She took a bite and it was full of juice, fragrant and sweet. She couldn't help but take one bite after another, and she finished most of the half watermelon.

Zhong Ruyi watched with a smile as her mother finished eating half of the watermelon. Perhaps the biggest benefit of this space to her, apart from the space water, was that it allowed her mother to eat fruits from the modern era.

After finishing half of the watermelon, Mrs. Zhong realized that she was very full. She quickly stood up and walked a few steps to digest the food.

The remaining half of the watermelon was quickly eaten by Zhong Ruyi. Also feeling very full, the mother and daughter walked around the table.

After walking for a while, Zhong's mother felt the urge to pee, and thought that eating too much delicious food is indeed harmful. The watermelon just now was so juicy that it seemed that she would not have a good sleep tonight.

The two of them tossed and turned until midnight before they went to bed. After one of them finished using the toilet, the other would take over.

The noise also startled Zhong Laoer who was already asleep. Seeing that his mother and younger sister had been going to the toilet, he thought they had eaten something bad.

I put on my coat and hurried out to ask. If I really had eaten something bad, I would have to see a doctor. I just didn't know if the clinic would be closed so late.

"Mom! Little sister! What happened to you two? Did you have a stomachache?" Zhong Laoer looked worried.

He wanted to take the two of them to see a doctor right now and close the store tomorrow.

Mother Zhong touched her stomach and felt that the food was almost discharged. Seeing her son's worried face, she waved her hands and said, "It's okay! He just drank too much water!"

Drink too much water?

It turned out that he just drank too much water and he thought he had a stomach upset.

Come to think of it, the three of them eat and sleep together, how is it possible that my mother and younger sister get stomach upset while I am fine?

Zhong's mother asked him to go back to sleep because he had to do business tomorrow and couldn't be late.

After Zhong Ruyi came out of the toilet, the mother and daughter went to sleep. They really couldn't stand it anymore. They decided not to eat such a big watermelon at once next time!

Before going to bed, Zhong's mother said how happy it would be if she could have a bite of cool watermelon in the summer!

Zhong Ruyi told her to go to sleep first and talk about it after she woke up tomorrow, as it was too late now.

The two of them had just laid down when they got up again not long after. They had been tossing and turning for most of the night and couldn't sleep for long.

Zhong Ruyi yawned as she unloaded the door panels for her second brother. After she finished, she lay down on the table and took a nap for a while. Her second brother should be back in a few minutes.

She was almost falling asleep when someone knocked on the door, startling her awake.

She looked carefully and saw a head poking in from the door. It was Xu Xiaohu from Boss Wu's tavern.

"Brother Xiaohu, why are you here?"

She was a little confused. Hadn't she already given the recipe for the stewed food to the tavern? Why did she come so early?

Xu Xiaohu walked in with a smile on his face, holding a large lunch box in his hand. He put the lunch box on the table and opened it with a smile.

"Miss Zhong, this is some good stuff our boss got, and I brought some for you to try!"

He opened the lid of the food box, revealing the meat inside.

Zhong Ruyi walked forward and took a closer look, "Is this beef?"

Xu Xiaohu nodded smugly, pretending to be reserved, "Our boss bought half a cow from somewhere else, and it's not good for anyone to know, so he asked me to deliver it to you early to avoid being seen by others and causing trouble."

I see. No wonder they are so careful. In Dazhao, cattle cannot be slaughtered at will. They are the best productive force. If someone knows who slaughters cattle and reports it, the person will be arrested by the government and put in jail.

Even if the cows died of illness or old age, they had to be reported to the government. The government would then send people to check with the family that reported the death, and only after confirming that the cows had indeed died of old age or illness could they be slaughtered and sold.

Zhong Ruyi couldn't help but sigh, "Boss Wu is really amazing. He can even buy this kind of meat that is coveted by people!"

Xu Xiaohu had already delivered the meat. After completing the task, he said a few words and went back. He was very sleepy as he got up so early!

The beef in the lunch box had already been taken out by Zhong Ruyi, so he asked Xu Xiaohu to take the lunch box back directly so that he wouldn't have to return it.

Mother Zhong sat on the edge of the bed with her eyes closed as if she could fall asleep again if she lay down. When she heard her daughter talking to someone, she thought it was the second son who had come back from the water with the pig. She tried hard to open her eyes to wake herself up. When that didn't work, she pinched her thigh again, and after barely waking up, she went out.

When I came out, I found that the second son had not come back yet, and the daughter was holding a wooden basin with a large piece of meat in it.

She was a little puzzled, "Your second brother came back to give you a piece of meat and went out again?"

Zhong Ruyi brought the beef in the wooden basin to her mother to see. Mother Zhong had never eaten beef, so she naturally couldn't guess that it was beef. She just thought it was pork.

She took the wooden basin and looked at it. It was just a piece of pork, but it looked brighter red and had more lean meat than the pork she usually bought.

Zhong Ruyi leaned over to Zhong's mother's ear and whispered, "This is the beef that Boss Wu from the tavern had sent over."

! !

God!

beef?

Mother Zhong was extremely frightened, and it was not her fault. She had seen people being taken away and put in jail because they slaughtered dead cows at home for meat without reporting to the authorities.

She was still a child at the time, and was terrified when she saw this scene. The onlookers said that he deserved it! How could he eat the old friend who had worked for him for most of his life!

Now her daughter took a piece of meat and said it was beef. The shadow of her childhood was suddenly triggered, and she was so scared that she wanted to throw away the piece of beef.

Zhong Ruyi caught the beef that was thrown away by Zhong's mother, "Mom! Don't worry! This was secretly sent to us by Boss Wu. We can just eat it secretly. If anyone finds out, we can just say it's pork."

"No one saw us killing the cow, so we just need to keep it quiet. Boss Wu knew to secretly ask someone to deliver the beef early. Are we going to tell others that we ate beef? Of course, we have to do it secretly."

She just didn't believe it. There were so many rich people in the town. When they wanted to eat beef, they would endure it and secretly buy it to eat. Isn't Boss Wu a good example?

When Zhong's mother heard this, she managed to calm down, but was still a little scared. She told her to hide the meat quickly and eat it secretly at night. She must not be discovered, otherwise she would be sent to jail!

When Zhong Laoer came back from pulling the pigs into the water, he saw his mother's face full of nervousness. As soon as he pulled the cart in, she immediately installed the door panel, as if she was afraid that someone would come in and find something.

Zhong Laoer was a little puzzled. Could it be that something happened that he didn't know about when he went out to pull the pig into the water just now?

"Mom, what's going on?"

Mother Zhong shook her head and motioned for him to pull the cart in quickly.

When they got to the yard, Zhong's mother pulled him to the corner of the yard and whispered to him about the beef that the tavern owner, Wu, had secretly sent.

Zhong Laoer was also shocked, but he was not as cautious as Zhong's mother. He just thought that since someone had delivered it, it would be fine as long as it was not made a big deal.
