A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Xiao Qi looked at Zhang Yunyue, who was smiling. She had a pair of dimples on her face and her eyes looked like crescent moons when she smiled. At that moment, Xiao Qi felt as if he was electrocuted.

Xiao Qi straightened his mind and smiled, "Happy cooperation in the future!"

When Manager Dong saw that the contracts had been signed, the atmosphere at the table became much more relaxed.

"Everyone must be hungry after chatting for so long. I have just asked the kitchen to prepare the food in advance. I will ask them to serve it up now."

After saying this, Shopkeeper Dong stood up and walked outside, calling a waiter: "Bring up the food."

Then a few waiters came in, each carrying a plate of food.

Shopkeeper Dong raised his hand and introduced the dishes to everyone present one by one.

"Miss Zhang, Brother Zhang, try these dishes. They are all Tianxianglou's signature dishes. Everyone, come and eat."

Father Zhang: "Okay, thank you!"

Zhang Yunyue picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and took a bite: "Tianxianglou's dishes are indeed very popular."

Zhang Yunyue was indeed hungry at this moment, so she didn't bother to talk and just concentrated on eating. Tianxianglou is worthy of being a restaurant that can be opened all over Yuanqi Country. Each dish has its own unique flavor.

By the end of the meal, Zhang Yunyue was very full.

Before leaving, Zhang Yunyue and Xiao Qi said:

"Mr. Xiao, the contract has been signed today. We will immediately build a chili oil workshop after we return. When the chili oil is ready, we will notify you as soon as possible, and then we will do everything according to the contract."

"Okay, by the way, since you need a lot of funds to build a chili oil workshop in the early stage,

So I asked Manager Dong to pay you 200 taels first, which will be used to set up a chili oil workshop and purchase chili materials.

This expense will be deducted from the profit of mung bean jelly next month. "

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he looked at Shopkeeper Dong. Shopkeeper Dong received Xiao Qi's gaze and understood what he was saying. Then he went to the accounting office and took out 200 taels to give to Zhang Yunyue.

"Yueyue, I know you will need money a lot, so I will give you 10 taels of silver ingots, a total of 20 ingots, so that you can use them conveniently."

Zhang Yunyue was not pretentious. After all, there would be a lot of expenses ahead, such as building a house and buying raw materials, so she took the 20 silver ingots handed over by Manager Dong.

"Okay, then I won't be polite. The 200 taels will be deducted from the profit of the mung bean jelly next month."

"Then we'll take our leave first." Zhang Yunyue said.

Xiao Qi: "Slow down."

As soon as Zhang Yunyue and Zhang's father left, Xiao Qi, Shopkeeper Dong and Shopkeeper Cao returned to Room No. 1 on the second floor.

Xiao Qi looked at Shopkeeper Dong and Shopkeeper Cao:

"Dong Sheng, you will be responsible for the cooperation with Miss Zhang from now on. If you have any questions, go to the county town to find Cao Shiyang.

If Miss Zhang needs any help, I will help as long as it is not a big problem.

Then Miss Zhang will notify us that the chili oil is ready, and we will go to Cao Shiyang, and someone from his place will deliver it to Tianxianglou in various places as soon as possible."

Shopkeeper Dong and Shopkeeper Cao looked at each other, then looked at Xiao Qi, "Okay, Boss."

Zhang Yunyue and Zhang's father left Tianxiang Tower and walked towards West Street.

"Father, with the volume of Tianxianglou, we have to build a special chili workshop, otherwise there will be no room at home."

"You're right. They want a large quantity. We also have to build a few large warehouses nearby to store chili oil and other things. Chili peppers have a strong smell, so it's best to keep the place away from people."

"Yes, let's go back and discuss with Grandpa and Uncle. We have to start collecting peppers, peanuts, spices and other things. Otherwise, when the workshop is built, we won't have the raw materials, which will delay the time.

I said before that I would go to Qiaojia Village with my mother to see the earthenware workshop, but I haven’t been there yet. I plan to go with my mother in the next two days to make a batch of pottery jars first.”

"Well, you can go with your mother, and visit your grandpa's house at the same time. Your mother hasn't been home for a long time, and your grandpa and grandma must miss you too. Your grandfather, second uncle and I will be at home to build the workshop."

"Yeah, I miss my grandparents too." Zhang Yunyue's mind popped up again the past when she went to her grandpa's house and how her grandpa's family doted on her and her siblings.

Zhang's mother saw the father and daughter returning from afar. They both looked happy, so she knew that there would be no problem with today's conversation with Tianxianglou.

"I'm back. Everything is sold out right now. Xiaoyun and I just cleaned up. Are you two hungry? I left some cakes for you."

"Mother, no need. We just finished talking with Tianxianglou, and Manager Dong invited my father and me to have dinner at the restaurant. Mother, this is the deposit from Tianxianglou, so you can keep it first."

After Zhang Yunyue finished speaking, she gave the 200 taels of silver deposit from Tianxianglou to Zhang's mother. Zhang's mother took it and put it away. After all, it was not convenient to open the box and look at it on the street, so she could only hide it in the backpack in front of her immediately.

"Yueyue, you and Dad are having dinner at the restaurant. How is it? Are the dishes there delicious?"

"Yeah, it's not bad, big brother. When we save more money, our whole family will go to Tianxianglou for dinner."

"Okay, then big brother, work hard and try to get our whole family to eat at Tianxianglou as soon as possible. Xiaofeng and Xiaoxue have never been there, so they must want to go too."

"Hahahaha, they are just two little foodies." Zhang Yunyue laughed.

Because she made money every day during this period, Zhang Yunyue would usually bring some food for her family or some small things for Xiaofeng and Xiaoxue when she went back home.

Every time she brought her home, the two siblings were so happy that they would circle around her and call her "sister".

"Mother, I'm going to buy some meat. We've received such a large order from Tianxianglou today. Let's celebrate when we get home. We'll go back and make a new dish later."

Zhang Yunyue thought that she hadn't eaten hotpot for a long time. Today was such a good day, it would be meaningful to have a hotpot. She turned to look at Zhang's mother with expectant eyes.

"Okay, go ahead. We should celebrate today." Zhang's mother's eyes lit up when she saw Zhang Yunyue talking about buying meat. The family had made a lot of money in the past few days, so she would not go to spoil the fun. If her daughter wanted to eat, she could just buy it and then gave Zhang Yunyue some silver.

Zhang Yunyue took the silver.

"Brother, let's go shopping and buy some things."

Zhang Xingyun looked at his sister lovingly, turned around, picked up an empty backpack, put it on his back, and followed Zhang Yunyue.

There are many vegetable vendors on West Street, and the dishes are more diverse.

"Boss, give me two pieces of tofu." Zhang Yunyue walked to the tofu stall.

"Okay, wait a moment." The tofu shop owner cut two pieces of tofu and handed them to the two men. Zhang Xingyun took them and put them in the backpack, and Zhang Yunyue paid.

"Boss, I want five pounds of pork belly and a few bones."

"Boss, I want these lotus roots. Please weigh them."
