Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

Mr. Chen and his son really treated this matter as their own. In just half a day, they had already arranged everything properly.

"Uncle Chen, it's a good thing that you and Brother Jiadong are taking care of us, otherwise we wouldn't be able to handle this."

Duan Minmin really thinks Yuanbao's cheap in-laws are good, much better than hers.

"What's the big deal? We're all family. Just go and do your own things. We're here for you."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. We will send lunch over at noon."

The two men didn't bother to be polite with him. Since they saw that there was no problem, they decided to go to Carpenter Li's house again.

We have to tell people that the millstone and mortar will be here soon, and notify Carpenter Li to come and see if they need to be measured.

Mr. Jiang had recently felt that he and Mr. Chen got along very well and liked to follow Mr. Chen, so he did not go with the two of them.

When we arrived at Carpenter Li's house, the family of four was busy as hell, and the yard was full of piles of wood chips.

Seeing them come in, Xiaoyu, who was squatting on the ground playing with wood chips, stood up and ran towards them.

"Grandma Zheng, Grandma Duan, where is Sizhu? Why didn't he come with you?"

Xiaoyu was a little disappointed when he didn't see his playmate.

"Xiao Yu, Si Zhu is learning to read and study with the village chief now. I'll ask him to come and play with you when he's on break." Zheng Yuan touched the chubby Xiao Yu and explained.

"Okay." Although Xiaoyu was a little disappointed, he didn't make a fuss and squatted back to play by himself.

"Sister, why are you here?" When Sister Li saw the two people coming, she knew they had something to do.

"We ordered the millstone and mortar yesterday afternoon. We estimate that they will be delivered soon. So we came here to tell Brother Li if he wants to take a look and measure the dimensions."

"So fast?" Carpenter Li was a little surprised and put down the tools in his hands.

"It's really a coincidence. The stonemason's shop just happened to have a huge stone mill that had never been sold. We immediately liked it when we went there. They are going to make a mortar today and it will be delivered to us."

"This is such a coincidence. We have been working on the waterwheel these two days and have not touched the upper part. We were afraid that the size would be wrong. Now that they are here, we naturally have to measure them so that we can make it easier to work on. They will come at noon, right? Okay, I'll go over later." Carpenter Li agreed readily.

"Okay, you guys are busy, we'll go back first. Later, your family will come to our house for lunch. This is a deal, no postponing, we're leaving now."

After saying this, the two turned around and ran away without giving them a chance to refuse.

With the words of refusal still in her mouth, Mrs. Li helplessly looked at the two people running away.

"Mom, the food cooked by Aunt Zheng is really delicious." Thinking of the taste of the previous meal, Li Tiantong began to drool.

"Ouch!" Li Tiantong covered his head and looked at his mother in confusion, not understanding why he was slapped.

"All you think about is eating. Your two aunts have invited us to dinner several times, and the food is so good. Don't you want to hurry up and make the food for them? Instead, you just think about eating."

Li Tiantong didn't dare to resist, he just muttered in his heart, he didn't say he wouldn't do it, so it would be enough to just say it.

As soon as Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin left, the family of four worked even harder, fearing that they would let down the two's trust and their meals.

After returning home, Zheng Yuan quickly checked what else was in the house to see what to cook for lunch.

Together with the ten people from Old Master Chen's family and Carpenter Li's family, there are more than thirty people in total.

It is definitely too late to make cold noodles or something like that, so we can only make some ordinary meals, and they must have plenty of oil and water. After all, there are people working in the mill and cutting wood in the mountains, and they are all doing heavy physical work, so we have to arrange for ice jelly as well.

So Zheng Yuan planned to cook a pot of millet porridge, then mix some cold shredded radish, stir-fry some cabbage and meat soaked in oil, and then add some ice jelly.

The main reason is that the quantity is large, so the dishes need to be smaller, otherwise it would be impossible for two people to finish it.

Duan Minmin was responsible for kneading the ice jelly, while Zheng Yuan was responsible for cooking. Soon they were busy and sweating profusely.

I have to say that it is really not easy to prepare this big pot meal. My hands are almost sore from lifting it.

Duan Minmin kneaded the ice jelly and took out some ice cubes, but did not put them in. She just used them to chill the ice jelly so that the temperature would be colder.

The two of them worked for nearly an hour and finally got everything out.

Fortunately, my family runs an ice jelly business, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to find so many tools to hold all these meals.

The meal was ready, the children came back, and the two were so tired that they didn't want to move.

He instructed Dashu to ask Old Man Chen to send two people back to serve the meal, instructed Erhe to carry a bucket of ice jelly to the factory and then ask Old Lady Chen and the other two to come for dinner, and Sizhu went to call Carpenter Li and his family.

The three children received the order and ran away. The two men sighed that children still have more energy.

Dashu, Mr. Jiang and Jiang Shui came back with the two men first. Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin handed the food and bowls and chopsticks to them.

The two of them looked at the thick millet porridge, the oily stir-fried cabbage and meat, and even the bucket of ice jelly in the bucket, and their eyes almost popped out.

Not to mention that there is no family in the village who can get a lunch for twenty cents a day, even the thickness of the millet porridge and the meat and vegetables are so good that no family can eat such good food on a normal day, not to mention the bucket of ice jelly.

I heard that they sell this ice jelly for three cents a bowl, and this bucket must cost several hundred cents.

At first, when Grandpa Chen went to call them and said that they would have a meal at noon, they thought it would just be some bland corn porridge, but they didn't expect it to be so delicious.

This was really the right job. The two of them looked at Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin with disbelief in their eyes.

"Third brother, fourth brother, please carry it over." Seeing that the two men were slow to move, Zheng Yuan spoke up.

These two are also members of the Chen clan. They are the third and fourth oldest, so they are usually called the third brother and the fourth brother.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's the trouble? We'll carry it over right away." The two men came to their senses and ran to the door with their things.

The fragrance wafted into my nose, and if I didn't hurry up, my saliva would flow into the bucket.

"Auntie!"

"Auntie!"

When the two of them went out, they ran into Old Lady Chen and a few others. They greeted them and then continued on their way.

When Old Mrs. Chen saw the bucket full of things, she gasped. What a waste of money!

After seeing the two men walking away, Old Lady Chen lowered her voice and scolded them.

"Look at you two, you really don't treat food as food. What are you doing with all those working men making these old things? Don't even mention that on weekdays, who would provide food for the workers? Even if they do, they wouldn't provide food like this."

When Old Mrs. Chen thought of the greasy meat, she felt like she was cutting her own flesh.

"Mom, it's their business how they do it. We are in a hurry and it's physically demanding. What will happen if we don't eat better? Besides, my dad and big brother need to eat too. Can you bear to let them have only coarse food?"

Zheng Yuan walked up the mountain, took the old lady's arm and comforted her softly. The old lady, who had been used to being frugal all her life, would definitely feel distressed to see two people spending money lavishly, but it was nothing.

Old Mrs. Chen murmured softly, "What's wrong with that? They eat like this every day. I've never seen them unable to work."

Although she said so, the old lady did not continue to teach them a lesson. Everything had been given away, so what else could she do?
