Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 284

A few days later, the workshop gave the workers a day off. Li Guihua thought about Xu Ya's son whom she saw last time, and the time she spent with her sisters in the past.

After saying goodbye to my family, I picked some tomatoes and grapes and went back to my parents' home. I also stopped by Xu Ya's house to chat with her.

Zhong Ruyi originally planned to go to the town with Chen Dongzhi to see the yard he bought, but he was out escorting the goods and couldn't go, but he had already given her the key before he left.

She could go and see it whenever she had time. While she was free, she called Zhang Mingzhu and Cuicui, and the three of them went to the town together.

When Zhang Mingzhu opened the door, she kept asking, "Really? Did Chen Dongzhi really buy this for you?"

Zhong Ruyi was so annoyed by the noise that he didn't even want to look at her anymore.

Cuicui was also very excited. The last few times she came here, she had to share a room with Jiang Rong and the others. Just now, her aunt said that if she came to the town in the future, she could stay here and have a room of her own.

After opening the door and going in, the first thing I saw was a spacious empty yard with dwarf pines and some flowers whose names I didn't know.

There are a total of more than a dozen rooms, including the main house, the side rooms on the east and west sides, the ear rooms connected to the main house and the side rooms on the left and right sides, the gatehouse, the back room, and the kitchen.

There is also a stable at the back where the family mule can be tied in the future.

Zhong Ruyi didn't understand what the side rooms and the back houses were. It was Zhang Mingzhu who told her that she knew a rich man whose yard was much bigger than the current one, with a total of more than thirty rooms.

"So many?" She couldn't help but click her tongue. The room she bought now was enough for her to live in. If she had more than 30 rooms, she could really sleep in a different room every day and not sleep in the same room twice a month.

After looking at the room, prepare to go back.

On the way, Zhang Mingzhu hesitated when passing a certain place. Her home was just inside the alley.

You're already at the doorstep of your home, why don't you go back and take a look?

She hesitated for a moment, then called out to the two people in front of her. They both turned around and looked at her.

Zhang Mingzhu said, "My home is right here, I want to go back and take a look."

Zhong Ruyi nodded, and seeing her tangled look, she patted her shoulder, "If you have anything to say, just talk it over nicely. Don't quarrel like last time. They are your parents, and no one would think it's wrong if they hit you. You are the one who will be hurt, so be careful."

"Okay, I'll go back now. I'll meet you at the restaurant later."

After the people entered the alley, Zhong Ruyi took Cuicui back, but after they had taken only two steps, someone called her from behind.

She turned her head and saw a familiar-looking woman looking at her with a flattering smile.

"...Who are you?"

"Oh! Don't you remember me? I'm your second sister-in-law's eldest sister-in-law!" The woman hurriedly introduced herself.

Now Zhong Ruyi remembered that when Lanlan held her full moon banquet, Liu's father and mother came to the banquet, and this sister-in-law also came, bringing her three children with her.

No wonder it looks familiar.

After remembering who the person in front of him was, Zhong Ruyi's polite smile faded a little, "Sister Liu, is there anything wrong?"

There is nothing else to say, the eldest sister-in-law from my second sister-in-law's family is really very different from the Liu family.

Even though her two sons were much more polite than her, the youngest was still a baby and it was hard to tell whether he was good or bad.

At that time, there were not many people invited to the full moon banquet, they were all relatives and friends.

The sister-in-law was very enthusiastic when she entered the room to see Lanlan, but after everyone left, she muttered something, "A worthless girl is worth all the trouble to hold a full-month banquet? She really doesn't know the importance of things."

Zhong Ruyi happened to come out of her room at that time and was walking behind her, so she heard everything clearly.

As all the guests were guests, she held her anger and pretended not to hear and continued to entertain them.

I didn’t tell my second sister-in-law about this afterwards, but it didn’t matter whether I told her or not.

During the banquet, her eldest sister-in-law suddenly said that she had given birth to three boys. Although Liu Yu Niang was still young, she might not be able to give birth again. Why not give her second son to Liu Yu Niang for adoption? Then the two brothers could help each other in the future.

Everyone present fell silent at that time. Father and Mother Liu did not expect their daughter-in-law to say such words. They were so shocked that it took them a long time to come to their senses. They pulled their daughter-in-law's sleeve and told her to stop talking nonsense.

Mother Zhong's face turned unhappy at that time. Did her sister-in-law think she was dead?

From the moment he came in, he kept looking around every corner of her house, and would touch anything strange he saw.

Now he is saying such things in front of his daughter-in-law who has just finished her confinement?

She sneered, picked up some food with chopsticks and put it into Liu Yu Niang's bowl, "We don't have the hobby of raising children for others. If you like, you can find a concubine for your husband and have him give birth to a few more children for others, so that you can enjoy it."

Liu's father and mother were also very angry with their daughter-in-law. She really didn't consider the occasion at all and dared to say anything nonsense.

They were happy that the Zhong family valued their daughter and did not look down on her just because she gave birth to a girl. On the contrary, when they entered the room and saw the baby sleeping with silver bracelets on her hands and feet, they knew that they were good to the child.

She doesn't care at all whether the baby is a boy or a girl, only her daughter-in-law is jumping like a clown.

When the banquet was over, Liu's mother came to find Liu Yu Niang and said, "Yu Niang, your sister-in-law doesn't have any bad intentions. Don't take what she just said to heart. I will talk to her in a good way when I get back."

Liu Yu Niang nodded, suppressed her discomfort, and saw her parents off.

The last full moon banquet left such a deep impression on Zhong Ruyi that she now feels annoyed when she sees her sister-in-law from her natal family.

Mrs. Liu was still unaware and continued to talk to her with a smile, "I'm fine too. My husband is injured and has been recuperating at home for a while. I came out to buy some bones to make soup for him."

Zhong Ruyi nodded, said nothing more, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Hey! The little sister of the Zhong family!" Liu didn't expect that the girl could not say a few words and was ready to leave without even saying hello.

She felt a little annoyed, but because she had something else to ask for, she had to suppress it.

"What's the matter? If you have something to say, just say it now. I have to go back to work." Zhong Ruyi was a little impatient. She really didn't feel like giving a good face to someone she didn't like.

Liu rubbed her hands and smiled a bit flatteringly, "It's like this, I heard that the braised food recipe was thought up by you, little sister."

Zhong Ruyi nodded calmly, "Yes, it's mine."

Cuicui was a little bored listening to the two people talking, until she saw the silk flowers sold on the stall. She reached out and pulled her aunt's clothes, whispering, "Aunt, let's go and see that later."

The small stall was filled with all kinds of beautiful silk and velvet flowers, and several young girls were standing in front of the stall, selecting them.

"Okay, we'll go take a look later. If there's anything you like, I'll buy it for you." Zhong Ruyi agreed readily.

Liu watched the two of them agree on where to go, and didn't give herself a chance to continue. She could only anxiously say, "Little sister, you see, I have a good relationship with your second sister-in-law. Can you give me a copy of your stewed food recipe? I also want to start a small business."

Zhong Ruyi looked at her with some surprise.

Did she hear it right just now?

"...What do you mean?" Zhong Ruyi asked her.

Liu smiled flatteringly and said, "You see, your second brother and second sister-in-law's braised food store is doing so well. Even if I open another one, it won't have any impact on them. I mentioned this to your second sister-in-law when she came back to her parents' home a few days ago, but she didn't agree. She also said that the braised food recipe is yours and she has no right to give it to me. I just happened to meet you, so I wanted to tell you to give me the recipe. I won't forget you when I get rich in the future!"
