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

Chapter 65: Looking forward to the eldest sister making a fortune

County town, Manfulou.

As noon approached, more and more customers came to eat.

The county town is so small that most of the people who come here to eat are regular customers.

Shopkeeper Hao smiled and greeted the diners at the counter, "Hey, Mr. Huang, we have some new dishes today. I'll send them over to you to try later..."

"Master Xu, please go upstairs. A private room has been arranged for you."

"Waiter, take Master Xu to the private room. I'll bring him a portion of our new dish later..."

Shopkeeper Hao greets every customer who enters the store with a smile.

He gave a braised meat platter to everyone who came to the restaurant for lunch today.

Shopkeeper Hao instructed the waiter who was serving the dishes, "After you bring the dishes in, introduce them first. If there's anything the customer doesn't like, just take it out. Don't force it, and don't waste it."

The waiter nodded, "I understand!"

The waiter entered the private room with the dishes and quickly served them. He then brought the braised meat platter to the table and introduced, "Mr. Huang, this is our new braised meat. The flavor is very unique. You and all the guests should try it."

Mr. Huang frowned slightly when he saw the pig head, pig ears and pig intestines on the platter, but he was also a frequent customer of Manfulou and knew that Manager Hao would not recommend anything casually to him, so he picked up a piece of pig tongue to taste it.

Mr. Huang put the pig's tongue into his mouth and chewed it twice. He felt that the taste was indeed quite unique. He picked up a few other things to taste.

Then he said to the people who were eating with him, "You guys should try it too, it tastes very good."

The others who tried it thought it was pretty good, and the meat on the platter wasn't much either. There were only three or five slices on each platter, just enough for a few people to try.

Mr. Huang said to the waiter, "Isn't your portion too small?"

The waiter smiled and replied, "Master Huang, this is what the owner wants you to try. I don't know if you like it, so I didn't dare to serve more. Normally, the serving size would definitely be more than this."

Mr. Huang said, "Then give us another portion."

"Okay, Mr. Huang, please wait a moment."

The waiter went out immediately and brought in a large platter soon.

Shopkeeper Hao didn't sell them separately, but made a platter of them all, putting a little of everything in, with a few vegetable leaves in the middle. Each plate cost 120 wen, but the cost was less than 50 wen.

The other diners were similar, and almost everyone who tried it ordered another plate. When the diners left, they said they would bring their families back to try it in the evening, which made Manager Hao very happy.

The waiter came trotting over. "Boss, we've already sold over a dozen plates, and there's not much braised meat left in the kitchen. There's going to be a lot of people eating tonight, so do you want to ask the braised meat vendor to bring some more?"

Shopkeeper Hao didn't know where Zhang Hulan lived, so he planned to go to the county government office to ask Ye Hongyun. "You take care of the store first. I'm going to the county government office."

County government.

Zhang Hulan led Ye Hongyun to complete the whole set of slimming exercises. In the end, Ye Hongyun was so tired that he collapsed on the chair, sweating profusely and gasping for breath, his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Ye Hongyun invited Zhang Hulan to have lunch. They had just finished their meal and were preparing to arrange for someone to send Zhang Hulan home.

The doorman came to report, "Madam, the owner of Manfulou wants to see you."

"Did something happen?"

The doorman replied, "He wanted to ask you if you knew where Mrs. Zhang lived."

Zhang Hulan was stunned for a moment, "Looking for me?"

Zhang Hulan wondered if there was something wrong with the braised meat. If anyone vomited or had diarrhea after eating it, her business would be ruined.

Ye Hongyun was also a little worried. Even though it had nothing to do with her, she had gone there. To outsiders, it was like she was taking Zhang Hulan with her. If anything went wrong with the food, Manager Hao wouldn't blame her, but it would definitely affect her reputation.

Ye Hongyun immediately took Zhang Hulan out. When Shopkeeper Hao saw Zhang Hulan, he immediately said happily, "Oh, Madam Zhang is here too! That's great!"

Shopkeeper Hao bowed to Ye Hongyun and said, "Madam Ye, I'm here to inquire about Madam Zhang's residence. Business was good at noon, and the braised meat Madam Zhang brought is almost sold out. Some customers said they would bring their families to taste it in the evening. I'd like to ask Madam Zhang to send some more this afternoon."

It turned out that the business was so good that Ye Hongyun felt relieved.

Shopkeeper Hao then asked Zhang Hulan, "Madam Zhang, could you please send some more this afternoon?"

Zhang Hulan asked, "How much more?"

Shopkeeper Hao thought for a moment and said, "Send this much more than what we had this morning."

Zhang Hulan nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and prepare right away."

Ye Hongyun asked the coachman to take Zhang Hulan back and asked the maid to bring a box of snacks to Zhang Hulan.

"This is all made by the cook herself. Take it back and let your daughter try it."

Zhang Hulan accepted the snacks and thanked him, "Thank you very much, Madam!"

"You're so polite. I won't keep you here any longer. Go back now."

Zhang Hulan got on the carriage and said to the driver, "Uncle, could you please take me to the market first? I need to buy some things."

"Okay, Madam Zhang."

The driver took Zhang Hulan to the market in the city to buy a few pig heads, and then rushed to Daping Village.

When Zhang Hulan returned home, Wang and the others had already cleaned the pig heads and large intestines they had bought in the morning, and had also marinated the pig heads.

As soon as Zhang Hulan got home, she hurriedly asked, "Mom, where are my brother and sister-in-law? Quickly ask them to come and help."

"Your sister-in-law is home. Your brother and the second son are out in the fields." Seeing Zhang Hulan carrying a few pig heads off the carriage, Wang asked in surprise, "Why did you buy more pig heads?"

"The restaurant owner asked us to send some more."

The driver helped Zhang Hulan carry the pig's head into the yard, then asked, "Madam Zhang, do you need me to wait for you and take you to the county town later?"

"No, no, I have a donkey cart at home, so I won't bother you."

The driver nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take my leave."

"Excuse me, uncle."

Zhang Hulan sent the driver away, then handed the cakes Ye Hongyun had given to Zhang Xinyue, "Yueyue, take this and eat with your brothers and sisters over there."

Zhang Hulan then said to Wang, "Mom, I have to braise the meat quickly. Has the pig's head from this morning been marinated by evening?"

Wang said hurriedly: "It's already pickled, everything is ready."

Zhang Xinyue sat down on the steps at the door with some snacks in her arms. Zhang Xiaobing and Zhang Xinyi immediately surrounded her.

Zhang Xinyao said, "Mom, I'll go light the fire."

Shanzi said, "I'll go call my uncle and the others back."

Shanzi ran out after saying that. Now Shanzi followed Zhang Xinyao and the others, calling Zhang Hujun "big uncle" and Zhang Hubing "little uncle".

Wang said, "Then I'll go call Chunhua and your sister-in-law to help."

Xiang Chunhua, Li and Zhang Dahua all came over quickly, and then everyone got busy.

Xiang Chunhua was busy with her work while saying, "I didn't expect business to be so good. It seems like Big Sister is really going to make a fortune!"

Zhang Hulan said, "Don't worry, Chunhua. If I become rich, I will definitely benefit from your help."

Xiang Chunhua was waiting for these words. She giggled and said, "Then I hope Big Sister becomes rich. We can rely on her to help us in the future."
