A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

This side of the old house.

With Shen Luo's joining, everyone's speed increased a lot.

Zhu held the freshly baked mooncakes and placed them in the yard to dry.

"Come on, come on, let's all try the mooncakes first. We can't have been making them for a long time and still not tasted them ourselves."

After she finished speaking, Zhu handed each person a mooncake from the winnowing basket.

Guan picked up the mooncake and took a bite: "Mm, delicious, tastes good."

Chen: "Yeah, I haven't eaten this mooncake for a year, and it's still so delicious. Come to think of it, the mooncakes we've eaten in the past few years were all made by you. We haven't bought any."

Wei: "Of course, our family hasn't bought mooncakes for three years, hahahaha!!!"

Zhang's mother joked, "Then we hope that the workshop will always be open and we can send mooncakes to everyone every year, hahahaha."

"Hahaha, this is a good relationship."

Mother Zhang looked at Shen Luo eating mooncakes and asked with concern: "Luoluo, how is it? Did you enjoy it?"

Shen Luo nodded in satisfaction: "Well, Aunt Zhang, the mooncakes are delicious. The employees working in your company are really lucky."

“Hahahaha, Luoluo is such a sweet girl. But what Luoluo said is true. In the past few years, the lives of every household in the village have improved. Now you can’t find any particularly poor families in the village.”

Mother Zhang picked up another mooncake and stuffed it into Shen Luo's hand: "Luoluo, if it's delicious, just take it and eat it. Don't be polite."

Shen Luo quickly refused: "Aunt Zhang, no, no, I will be full after eating this, really, really."

"Okay, Luoluo, I won't try to persuade you anymore. If you want to eat it, just take it and eat it. The aunties have made plenty of it. We are not afraid that you will eat it. Don't worry!"

Shen Luo responded to Zhang's mother with a smile: "Okay, auntie, I understand."

Zhu continued to take the mooncakes wrapped by others to the oven to bake.

a whole day.

Zhang's mother and her family baked thousands of mooncakes and placed them all in a winnowing basket in the yard to dry. Today, with Shen Luo's help, everyone finished making all the mooncakes at once.

Mother Zhang said to the three Guans, "Sister-in-law, the mooncakes are all baked, but it's late today and we don't have time to wrap them with oil paper. We'll have to trouble you to come again tomorrow and we'll continue."

"It's okay, it's okay, we'll continue tomorrow."

evening.

Zhang's mother and Zhu took some mooncakes home and let everyone taste them in advance.

It also allowed Shen Luo to get to know the other people in the family.

The next day.

Shen Luo followed Zhang's mother and Zhu to the next door again.

The rest of the people went to the workshop to work.

When I went there, I took a stack of oil paper from the kitchen to use to wrap the mooncakes.

Just as they were carrying the mooncakes into the yard at the old house, three members of the Guan family arrived.

Wei: "Is everything ready? Can we start wrapping?"

Zhu: "Yes, sister-in-law, by the way, when you make them, make six mooncakes in each package, which means good luck and good fortune."

"Yeah, we know that."

The mooncakes were packed very quickly. In less than an hour, all the mooncakes were packed.

Zhang's mother: "Sister-in-law, thank you for helping me make mooncakes these days. You can take these mooncakes home to eat or give as gifts."

After saying that, Zhang's mother gave each of the three people three packs of mooncakes.

The three of them took the mooncakes.

Guan: "Mother Yueyue, we won't be polite with you. We will accept the mooncakes. If there is anything else at home next time, just call us. We will come as long as we have nothing to do."

Wei also held the mooncake in her hand: "Yes, next time if you have anything else, just call us, we are all family, don't be polite."

Zhang's mother: "Okay, got it. We'll ask you for help if we have any problems next time."

Guan: "Okay, then everything is alright, if it's alright, we'll go back."

Mother Zhang shook her head: "It's okay, it's okay, sister-in-law, you guys should go back and have a good rest, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Okay then, we'll go back."

Wait until the three of them leave.

Zhang's mother carried all the mooncakes that needed to be kept at home back to the next door and put them away.

The remaining mooncakes.

Together with Zhu and Shen Luo, he carried all the things in a backpack to the reception room of the workshop.

It’s still early, and the chili oil and crispy whistles provided as gifts have not yet been canned.

So the three of them moved a lot of clay jars out of the warehouse. One person was responsible for filling the chili peppers, one was responsible for filling the crispy whistles, and the remaining one was responsible for covering the filled clay jars with wooden stoppers.

The three of them worked together very harmoniously.

These two days.

Seeing how decisively and efficiently Shen Luo did things, Zhang's mother and Zhu became even more satisfied with her.

The Zhang family treated Shen Ming the same way. Although Shen Ming was younger than Zhang Yunyue, he was efficient at working in the workshop. And because his elder sister had reminded him in advance, Shen Ming did not ask much about the workshop. He would only talk when others asked him questions or when they were joking.

Zhu looked at the jars of chili oil and crispy peppers on the ground and roughly counted them. There were about 160 jars of each.

"Sister-in-law, Luoluo, you've almost finished pretending. You can stop pretending for now. You can pretend later if you still need something."

Mother Zhang also looked at the pottery jar on the ground, and after a quick glance, she felt that it was about enough.

"Okay, then I won't pretend anymore. I'll talk about it after I finish sending it. Luoluo, stop it first!"

"Okay, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang."

Shen Luo stopped.

Zhang's mother sighed sincerely: "Finally, we have finished preparing these holiday gifts. Now that there are so many employees, it will take several days to prepare the holiday gifts."

Zhu: "Yes, by the end of the year, there will be more gifts prepared, so the guard team will have to be expanded soon."

Mother Zhang looked at Shen Luo beside her and asked with concern: "Luoluo, are you tired yesterday and today?"

"Aunt Zhang, I'm not tired, not tired."

"It's good that you're not tired. We've almost prepared everything. The workshop will be closed tomorrow. We'll have a good time at home, chat, and make some delicious food for you kids."

Shen Luo responded gently: "Yes, okay, thank you Aunt Zhang."

The three of them moved all the pottery jars on the ground to the reception room one by one, and gave them to everyone who came in when the time came.

Zhang's mother: "Okay, I've put all the things here, and I'll give them to everyone after work this afternoon.

in the afternoon.

After the escort team delivered the goods to grocery stores in various counties, they hurriedly returned to Zhangjia Village the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Everyone settled the horses.

Zhao Hu: "You all wait at the door. Li Da and I will go to the house to ask about the next departure time."

After that, Zhao Hu and Li Da went to the house next door, while the rest of the guards waited at the door.

Because Zhang's mother and her family had already finished making the mooncakes, they all went to the workshop in the afternoon.

Thinking that there wouldn't be many people selling red peppers in the afternoon, Grandma Zhang stayed to look after the house.
