A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Zhang Yunyue was teasing Qiao An with a small bamboo toy beside her. Qiao An looked at the toy in Zhang Yunyue's hand and forgot about eating snacks. After a while, she started giggling again.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Yang listened to the laughter of her granddaughter and great-grandson outside, and looked at her daughter who came back today with a smile on her face. She knew that her daughter's life was really getting better now.

"Alian, seeing that you are doing better now, your father and I are relieved."

"Mother, I'm sorry to have worried you. Although my family wasn't very wealthy before, fortunately my children were filial, my parents-in-law were reasonable, and my brother-in-law and I got along well, so I was actually always satisfied."

Zhang's mother really liked the life in the Zhang family. Although they were poor, the family was united and that was sweet.

"Well, I agreed to let you marry Zhang Qian because I thought your parents-in-law were reasonable. Facts have proved that children raised by reasonable parents-in-law are also good. Zhang Qian has been good to you over the years and has been responsible to us. We are also satisfied."

Yang also sighed.

"Oh, mother, hurry up and cook. My brothers, sisters-in-law and the children will be hungry when they come back soon."

Zhang's mother teased Yang, and her hands kept moving.

"Oh, by the way, mother, I'll make some mung bean jelly later. It's the best food in this weather."

"Okay, you do it later."

Qiao Ping came in from outside and saw Zhang Yunyue sitting next to him. He looked around the yard and didn't see anyone else, so he went forward and picked up Qiao An.

"An'an, Daddy is back. Yueyue, you're here. Are my aunt, uncle, and cousin here too?"

At this moment, the people who were preparing to enter the house in the back heard Qiao Ping's voice mentioning Zhang Yunyue, and they quickly entered the yard. They were also very happy to see Zhang Yunyue.

"Hey, Yueyue, you're here too. Is your mother here?"

Aunt Ruan Xiuxiu was also surprised. When Ruan Xiuxiu got married, Zhang's mother was still at home. The two of them had been living in the Qiao family for three or four years and had a very good relationship.

Zhang Yunyue saw a group of people entering the yard and stood up to greet them one by one.

"Uncle, aunt, uncle, aunt, cousin, sister, sister, cousin, my mother and I came here together today. My mother is talking to grandma in the kitchen!"

Mother Zhang heard the noisy noise in the yard, came out of the kitchen and said with a smile.

"Brother, second brother, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you are back. The food is ready. Let's eat."

"Alian, you're back." said Qiao Dacheng.

"Aunt"

"Aunt"

"Hey, I have something to do in the village today, so I just happened to go home. I miss my family too. Okay, let's eat first and talk later."

Mother Zhang nodded and urged everyone to clean up and eat first.

After Zhang's mother brought all the food to the table, she also served each person a bowl of mung bean jelly. Everyone sitting at the table looked at this food that they had never seen before.

"Alian, what is this? It looks nice and smells good, but I've never seen it before."

“This is mung bean jelly, and it contains chili oil. My family is now running a food business in town, and it’s pretty good, so I brought some back home today for my family to try.

Actually, we eat chili peppers on a daily basis, but we only put a little bit of it in cooking. We didn’t expect that chili oil would taste even better, and many people in town bought it.”

"Well, you guys should try it too. The people in the town really like it."

After hearing what Zhang's mother said, everyone stopped eating the dishes and started eating from the bowls of mung bean jelly in front of them.

"Mm, it's delicious. It's springy when you hold it with chopsticks, but it's smooth and tender when you chew it in your mouth. The chili oil is also fragrant."

Qiao Dacheng said with a satisfied look on his face.

"I think so, too. It's mainly because it's appetizing and not as hot as vegetables. It's quite comfortable to eat."

Qiao Ercheng also nodded.

When the others heard what Qiao Dacheng and Qiao Ercheng said, they all nodded and kept eating the mung bean jelly in their hands.

Qiao Dacheng remembered what his sister said about having something to do in the village, so he went back home and asked while eating.

"By the way, A'lian, are you and Yueyue coming back to the village for something? If you have something to tell us, we can do it for you. It will take an hour to go back and forth this time."

Zhang's mother did not reply immediately, but looked at Zhang Yunyue.

Zhang Yunyue received the look from Zhang's mother.

"Uncle, this is what happened. Our family has signed a cooperation agreement with Tianxianglou in town to sell chili oil to Tianxianglou. We also sell this chili oil in town.

The quantity is quite large, so we need pottery jars to store the chili oil, so my mother and I went back to the earthenware workshop in Qiaojia Village to order some pottery jars. "

"Okay, I'll go with you later." Qiao Dacheng thought that Qiao Lian and Zhang Yunyue were both women, and although the owner of the earthenware workshop was also from the village, it would be better for him to go with them.

"Okay, thank you, uncle."

After Zhang Yunyue finished speaking, he thought again that once the chili workshop was built, his family probably wouldn't have time to go to various villages to collect chilies. They could take some of the chilies home to sell, but most of them were from Zhangjia Village.

I guess other villages don’t know about it, so it’s better to let my grandfather’s family collect it. Then my second aunt’s family can also go to collect it, so that both families can make some money.

"Oh, by the way, Grandpa, Uncle, and Uncle, our family is going to make a lot of chili oil. If you have nothing to do, you can help collect chili peppers and peanuts in the nearby villages.

No matter how much you charge when you collect, we will pay according to the town's price of 7 wen per jin of chili peppers, 10 wen per jin of shelled peanuts, and 5 wen per jin of unshelled peanuts. In addition, for every 100 jins collected,

I will give you an extra 20 coins, but the peppers and peanuts must be good, and no bad ones can be mixed in, otherwise I will not accept them. This is also for everyone's consideration."

After hearing what Zhang Yunyue said, Qiao Dazhui's family looked at Zhang's mother, fearing that Zhang Yunyue was acting on her own without discussing it with her family.

Others didn't dare to ask Zhang's mother, so Qiao Dazhu started asking.

"Alian, what Yueyue said..."

Zhang's mother: "Dad, Mom, brother, Yueyue is in charge of most matters concerning chili oil and mung bean jelly in our family. My father-in-law and mother-in-law also support Yueyue, so there is no problem with what Yueyue said just now."

"Yes, grandpa, grandma, uncles, don't worry, I will ask my second aunt's family to do it together and let them collect it. The second aunt's family is the same as you. There is no evil, sneaky or cunning person.

It just so happens that we don't have time to collect them at that time, but you do. Moreover, you can help us control the quality when you buy them. Isn't this the best of both worlds?

You can also make money, and your cousins are all grown up, so you have to prepare betrothal gifts and betrothal gifts for them."
