After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

The doorman came out quickly and said, "Madam, please come in."

Zhang Hulan asked Zhang Hujun to wait outside, and then followed the doorman into the backyard of the county government office.

Seeing Ye Hongyun, Zhang Hulan knelt and saluted, "Greetings, Madam Ye!"

Ye Hongyun smiled and raised his hand, "No need to be so polite."

"You came here today, are you here to talk to the master about something?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Hulan said, "I made some food and planned to sell it to some restaurants in the city, so I brought some over for Madam and Lord Wu to try. I was just worried that Madam and Lord Wu might dislike it."

"Oh? You want to do business? What kind of food do you make? Let me see it. If it suits your taste, I'll buy some."

"The food is on the donkey cart outside. Madam, you can go outside and see what you like to eat."

"Okay, let's go and take a look." Ye Hongyun immediately stood up and walked outside.

Zhang Hulan felt that the county magistrate's wife had a personality similar to hers—a quick-tempered person. Furthermore, Ye Hongyun didn't act like an official's wife at all, making her feel very approachable.

When they came outside, Zhang Hulan lifted the lid of the pot and let Ye Hongyun see.

There was nothing suitable to put the meat in at home, so Zhang Hulan just brought the pot over. It was covered with a lid, so it was clean.

Ye Hongyun was stunned when she saw what was in the pot. She originally thought that Zhang Hulan had made some snacks, but it turned out to be a pot of meat, including pig heads and pig intestines.

People of their status wouldn't eat these things. Only the poor would buy pig heads, not to mention the ordinary people.

But the aroma that wafted out after the lid of the pot was opened made Ye Hongyun want to try it.

Zhang Hulan said, "Mrs. Ye, you can try it first. If you like the taste, you can take some."

"Don't worry, Madam Ye. Although the things are not good, I washed them very cleanly."

Ye Hongyun wanted to try it, but was afraid it wouldn't taste good.

If you say to the maid beside you: "Try it first."

There are pre-cut meat slices in the pot, specially for tasting.

Zhang Hulan handed over a handful of bamboo sticks, and the maid immediately understood what she meant. She picked up a bamboo stick and picked up a small piece of pork head meat, put it in her mouth, chewed it twice, and then her eyes slightly widened. Then the little maid picked up another piece.

"Madam, this meat is delicious..."

"I have never eaten meat that tastes like this."

Zhang Hulan pointed at the pig intestines, sausage rolls, and tripe strips and said, "Try these too."

The maid hesitated for a moment when looking at the pig intestines, but still picked up a little and put it into her mouth.

After the maid tasted it, her perception of pig intestines was overturned.

"Ma'am, this is delicious too!"

The maid then tasted the sausage rolls and tripe strips and thought the pig's head and large intestine were better. The pig's tongue and ears were also good, but the large intestine and pig's tongue were the best.

Seeing the maid's mouth full of oil, Ye Hongyun also picked up a piece of meat with a bamboo stick and tasted it, then nodded and said, "This taste is quite unique."

"If Madam likes, I'll give you a little of each."

Zhang Hulan looked at the little maid and said, "Miss, please go get some plates."

The little maid looked at Ye Hongyun. After Ye Hongyun nodded, she immediately went to the kitchen to get the plates.

Zhang Hulan took a pig's ear and tongue, and also some large intestines, sausage rolls, and tripe strips. She cut the pig's head into a pig's snout, which is the pig's nose. The meat here is delicious.

The maid took the meat back to the kitchen.

Ye Hongyun asked: "How much is this meat?"

Zhang Hulan quickly waved her hands. "It's just a small amount, why would you ask for money? Lord Wu is a good official. Consider this my filial piety to Lord Wu."

Speaking of Wu Deyong, Zhang Hulan paused and said, "Madam, please don't blame me for being nosy. Lord Wu is a bit plump, so try not to let him eat fatty meat. Don't eat too much pig head either, but pig ears and pig tongue are fine. Try to get Lord Wu to eat more vegetables and exercise more."

Ye Hongyun said helplessly, "I didn't let him eat too much fatty meat, but he just loves it and can't live without it for a day. He doesn't have any other hobbies, so I can't control him too much, otherwise his life will be too boring."

"Then let Lord Wu exercise more. More exercise can help lose weight."

"Exercise more? What kind of exercise?"

Zhang Hulan said, "Just get up and run every morning. Start by running for a short while, then gradually increase the distance. Run six or seven miles a morning. If you stick with it for a month, you should be able to lose some weight."

"Run outside?"

"Yes, go run outside. The air outside is good in the morning. After running, your body will feel tired, but you will feel more energetic."

Ye Hongyun laughed and said, "How embarrassing would that be? Running around outside all the time, wouldn't I look like a fool..."

Zhang Hulan thought for a moment. It seemed like no one here was running. If someone kept running on the street, and it was the county magistrate, it would certainly attract a lot of onlookers. So Zhang Hulan said, "Then let Lord Wu do aerobic exercise at home, or even some fitness exercises."

"Aerobic exercise? Aerobics? What is this?" Ye Hongyun said she had never heard of these two words.

Zhang Hulan explained: "It's just exercising at home, doing regular movements of your hands, feet, and whole body."

"What action should we take?" Ye Hongyun asked.

Zhang Hulan said, "How about this, Madam? I'll go to the restaurant to discuss the business first, and then I'll come back to teach you what to do."

Ye Hongyun said, "Okay, then which restaurant are you planning to go to? How about I go with you?"

Zhang Hulan quickly waved her hand, "No, no, no, how can I trouble you to come here in person? I can go myself."

In fact, with Ye Hongyun by her side, her business might be easier to negotiate.

Zhang Hujun didn't dare to speak the whole time.

Wow...it seems like the relationship between my eldest sister and the county magistrate's wife is pretty good...

The first restaurant they came to was called Manfulou.

After Ye Hongyun got off the carriage, Zhang Hulan was about to go into the restaurant to find the owner.

The shopkeeper came out with a big smile on his face. He bowed to Ye Hongyun and said, "Oh... No wonder there was a magpie calling at the door this morning. It turned out that Madam Ye came to visit our store."

Ye Hongyun smiled and said, "Manager Hao, I'm here to introduce you to some business."

Shopkeeper Hao looked puzzled.

Ye Hongyun introduced, "This is Zhang Hulan. She brought some unique food today and would like to discuss business with you."

Zhang Hulan immediately greeted with a smile, "Hello, Manager Hao!"

Shopkeeper Hao looked Zhang Hulan over, then smiled and nodded. He had to give her some respect since she was introduced by the county magistrate's wife.

Officer Hao invited Ye Hongyun and Zhang Hulan into the restaurant's private room. After personally serving them fine tea, he asked, "What kind of food did Madam Zhang bring?"
