Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

About a quarter of an hour later, I heard the sound of someone running outside, and then I saw Mrs. Zhang come in with a happy look on her face.

As soon as they saw her expression, they all understood that it was done.

Erhe also breathed a sigh of relief. He was so scared just now that he could hardly sit still.

Mrs. Zhang grabbed Zheng Yuan's hand and said, "Oh, Sister Zheng, you have helped me a lot. When we arrived at the yard, we heard Mr. Jiang and his wife asking for leave, saying that the food in this house was really not to their taste. No matter how much his wife tried to persuade him to stay, he still insisted on leaving."

"I was so scared that my legs almost went weak. If the master's important matter was really delayed because of the food problem, then everyone in our kitchen would suffer. I didn't care about anything else and immediately presented the plate of meat, saying that the kitchen had developed a new dish today."

"Who would have thought that Mr. Jiang was just about to leave when he smelled the food and took it over eagerly. His eyes lit up when he saw it, and he finished your plate of meat in one breath. Looking at him, if there wasn't someone beside him, he would have wanted to lick all the sauce at the bottom of the plate."

"Seeing that he enjoyed the meal, Madam asked me to make another plate. Here, this is the reward money Madam gave me. She knew that there was no one in the house who could make this, so she pulled me aside to ask. Knowing that it was you who helped, she was very grateful, so she gave me this silver as a reward and asked me to give it to you." As she said this, she handed a purse in her hand to Zheng Yuan.

The purse looked bulging, and it was likely that there would be a lot of money. This young master's mouth was really valuable. Zheng Yuan pushed it back: "Sister, we can't take this. It was originally to thank you. What would we become if we took the money?"

Although they were short of money, they knew how to be grateful. Since Zhang Po helped them and gave them things, they didn't feel comfortable asking for more money.

"Yes, sister, just keep this money. We sisters will treat the sisters in the kitchen to tea." Duan Minmin naturally had the same idea as Zheng Yuan.

However, Mrs. Zhang tried to force it into her collar, and almost tore the tattered rag Zheng Yuan was wearing. She quickly stopped, and Mrs. Zhang stuffed it in.

"Since it's given to you by the Madam, just accept it with confidence. The kitchen has done a great job this time, so it's not like we will get some benefits from it."

"That's right, sister, just accept it." Mrs. Li also chimed in.

"Okay, then I'll take it. But it's also thanks to your trust that I was able to get such an advantage. How about this, we each take half and have tea together." Zheng Yuan said as he opened his purse and prepared to give half of it to everyone.

Good guy!

Is this rich family so generous? Zheng Yuan looked at the silver in the bag. It must be at least twenty taels.

Mrs. Zhang was quick to hold back her hand as she reached out: "Sister, just accept it. Times are tough and you have a big family to support. So, if you really feel bad about it, I, an old woman, would like to ask you shamelessly, can you teach the recipe to our kitchen lady? What is the name of this dish?"

"Okay, that's no big deal. This dish is called sweet and sour pork. I'll teach it to Sister Li right away." Zheng Yuan originally wanted to give them the recipe, so naturally no one disagreed at this moment.

As for the money that Mrs. Zhang and the others really refused to accept, she did not refuse anymore. She taught them the recipe and let them go to the master to ask for a reward.

So Zheng Yuan instructed Mrs. Li to make a dish herself. Zheng Yuan tasted a piece and felt that it lacked the sweet and sour flavor, so he advised her to use it boldly and not to follow the local taste.

Everyone gathered around to share the dish, and Mrs. Li made another one. It must be said that Mrs. Li's improved version was quite suitable for the local taste, and everyone said it was delicious.

When the second dish came out of the pot, Zheng Yuan was asked to taste a piece as usual. Seeing her nod, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly asked the servant to bring the second dish.

Seeing that Mrs. Li had already mastered the method, and it was getting late, if they didn't go out to set up a stall today the ice jelly would be wasted, the three of them hurriedly said goodbye to everyone.

Mrs. Zhang knew that they had something else to do so she didn't keep them. She also knew that they had come so early in the morning and must not have eaten yet, so she grabbed a few steamed buns and stuffed them into their mouths, then took the three of them out.

After leaving the corner gate, Zheng Yuan pinched the bulging money bag in his collar and couldn't help but feel happy: "Amin, this rich family is really generous. With this money, we can buy a big iron pot. I'm really fed up with the broken clay pot at home. I'm scared to cook, for fear that it will explode in my face. Your pigs can finally eat cooked food. They have been wronged these past two days."

"return!"

Mrs. Zhang shouted softly, stopping the three people in their tracks.

The three of them looked back in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

"Sister, is there anything else?" Zheng Yuan asked. Could it be that she wanted a few more prescriptions? That wasn't a big deal.

Mrs. Zhang waved them over and asked, "Did you just say that you were short of an iron pot at home?"

"That's right. I'm planning to use the reward money to buy one. But is there any problem?" Zheng Yuan asked puzzledly.

"Don't waste your time. You won't be able to make one in a short time at the blacksmith shop. You have to wait until the next market to get it."

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin didn't know this. They thought the iron pot was already made and they could just buy it. It seems that it is a custom-made product.

"I just replaced a pot in my kitchen a few days ago. There's nothing wrong with it. It was just that a piece of firewood fell off the servant's shelf and broke the edge. It doesn't affect its use. But it doesn't look good when the masters use it, so I replaced it. If you don't mind, you can just use this one. An iron pot costs a lot of money, so try to save as much as you can."

"No, no, I don't mind. How could I mind you? I don't know how to thank you enough. You always consider us two sisters."

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin smiled as brightly as flowers, with an unconsciously flattering expression on their faces. They walked forward and couldn't help but give Mrs. Zhang a big hug. If they weren't afraid of scaring her, they really wanted to give her a kiss each.

This is a great fortune for me. I met such a good person and saved some money.

The sudden hug between the two startled Mrs. Zhang, who quickly broke away and scolded softly: "What are you doing pulling and tugging?"

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin didn't hold her tightly at first, and they broke free as soon as she struggled. They looked at her with playful smiles, like two puppies begging for food.

Mrs. Zhang actually had a strange urge to touch their heads, but when she thought about how old the three of them were, she quickly suppressed her eager hand.

Erhe was stunned. What happened? He was blamed for it now? The way his mother and Aunt Duan looked was really unbearable.

Mrs. Zhang asked them to wait at the door while she went in and found a servant to carry out the pot.

Zheng Yuan saw that it was just a piece of the pot that had fallen off, and it was completely usable. This rich family was really particular. But if they weren't particular, how could they have gotten such a big bargain?

The two thanked Mrs. Zhang again.

Then they asked Erhe to put the bucket down, and the two of them carried the bucket while Erhe held the pot. There were really too many things, and the three of them stumbled as they walked.

Seeing them like that, Mrs. Zhang sighed. Well, these two women were strangely pleasing to her eyes, so she just let them go.

"Dongzi, please help deliver the pot to them and come back." Mrs. Zhang directed the servant to deliver the pot.

The servant hurried over and took the pot from Erhe's head.

Erhe felt that he was a country boy and didn't dare to order the servant of Mr. Zhang's house around, so he started to fight with him for it. It was only when Zheng Yuan spoke up that he stopped fighting and took the bucket and followed behind obediently.

The group walked towards the entrance of the alley.
