Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 218

When he got home and looked at the enthusiastic man, Chen Dongzhi remembered that this man was from the escort agency whom he met while hunting before, and now he said he came to thank him.

As soon as Master Duan saw Chen Dongzhi, the smile on his face never faded. He held Chen Dongzhi's hand and asked him about his well-being.

This made Chen's mother always feel that something was strange.

Only at the end did he reveal his real purpose.

"It's like this, Brother Chen. Our escort agency is short of manpower recently. The last time I met you, I felt that you were quite skilled. I wonder if you are willing to come to our escort agency?"

Chen Dongzhi was about to refuse, but Master Duan saw what he was thinking and said, "Don't be so hasty to refuse. Think about it again."

"Do you think you can continue hunting for the rest of your life? Even though you can earn a lot of money now, it's only because you are young. You can make enough money for a whole year after opening a shop. But our escort agency is different. You will earn at least this much each time you escort."

He gestured, "If you work harder and make more trips, you can earn more. If you can save it, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

In the end, Chen Dongzhi did not agree directly, but just said that he would think about it again.

Escort Master Duan did not embarrass him and smiled cheerfully, "Oh, by the way, I still need to visit the two Zhong brothers' homes. Can you, Brother Chen, take me there?"

At the Zhong family, he also invited Zhong Laosan, hoping that he could go to the escort agency. Zhong Laoda didn't say anything, mainly because he only saw Chen Dongzhi and Zhong Laosan fighting that day.

It seems that these two guys have pretty good skills, especially Chen Dongzhi, who has fought in wars and seen blood before, which is even better, because to do this job one needs to be brave and have good skills.

Zhong Laosan also said that he would consider it for a few days. Master Duan didn't think that he could capture both of them in one trip, so he nodded in understanding.

I put down what I was holding and chatted with them for a while before saying I had to go back.

Mr. Zhong asked him to stay for dinner, but he shook his head and refused. "No, I still have to find time to come here today. I have to go to Jixiang Town tomorrow to help the town master transport a batch of porcelain."

"So busy?" Zhong Laosan sighed.

Escort Master Duan immediately said, "Not really, it's just that I have a large family and need to spend money a lot, so I run more frequently."

When he left, Zhong's father gave him a watermelon. Escort Duan waved his hand and said, "No need. The restaurant next door sells this. I can buy it next door if I want to eat it."

When Mr. Zhong heard this, he couldn't stop laughing. Didn't this guy know that the restaurant next door was opened by his daughter?

He could hardly hide his pride, and pretended to be reserved and said, "I know, the restaurant next door to you is owned by my daughter, and she has to pay for it, so I'm giving it to you to try, so just take it!"

Escort Master Duan exclaimed, obviously not expecting that he had just been thinking about whether the Zhong family and Miss Zhong were related, but it turned out that there was indeed a relationship.

"Take it. Since you have something busy tomorrow, I won't keep you any longer. It's getting dark, so hurry up and go back." Father Zhong put the watermelon in his hand.

Holding the heavy watermelon in his hand, Escort Duan smiled, said thank you, and walked away with big strides.

Seeing that the people were walking away, Zhong Laosan asked Chen Dongzhi, "What do you think? Do you want to go?"

He thought that if Chen Dongzhi went, he would go too, so that they would both have company.

Chen Dongzhi shook his head, "Not sure yet."

But the next day he called the two brothers of the Zhong family and went up the mountain again. They stayed there for six or seven days and brought back a wild boar, a deer, and dozens of wild pheasants.

"I plan to go after I finish this trip. Do you want to go?" He reached out to take the towel to wipe the sweat from his head and asked Zhong Laosan.

This sweat towel was bought for him by Zhong Ruyi. She bought four in total and asked him to use them in rotation. When one was broken, she would throw it away and buy him a new one.

In fact, Zhong Laosan also thought that he would agree. When he heard it, he also said he would go, but he thought of his home.

He turned his head to look at Boss Zhong, but before he could say anything, Boss Zhong interrupted him directly, "Go if you want to, don't worry about your family, there are still me and your sister-in-law, if you are too busy, you can hire someone else."

Zhong Laosan was worried about these things. The family had a lot of land, his second brother did business in town, and the children were still young. If he left home too, all the housework would fall on his father and his eldest brother and his wife.

He pursed his lips and said, "If it doesn't work, I won't go. I'll just work at home. Anyway, I can support myself by farming."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Go out if you can. If you don't go out now, do you want your future wife to live with you in the fields for the rest of her life? Don't worry about your family. Maybe one day we will all move to town and your land will be cultivated by others."

Chen Dongzhi listened to the two brothers talking without interrupting.

He had already thought about it and talked about it with his mother and Xiaoxue. They all supported him to go out. He couldn't stay in Xinghua Village forever. He should go out and see the world.

However, Chen's mother was still worried about the danger of escorting the goods, but when she thought that it was much safer than going to war, she agreed.

After taking all the hunted game to the town to sell, Chen Dongzhi and his companion went directly to the escort agency.

Escort Master Duan said that if they were willing to come, they could go directly to the escort agency. Even if he was not there, he would arrange everything.

It was not until the next day that Zhong Ruyi found out that Chen Dongzhi and his third brother were now working at the escort agency and that he would have to follow them on escort missions in the future.

After finishing her work, she was about to go to the escort agency next door to take a look, but was told that the two of them had followed Escort Master Hu to escort a batch of cloth to Qingyun Township early this morning.

This time she was dumbfounded, "So fast?"

Escort Master Zhao was in high spirits. Several people from the escort agency had left, and now two more had come. He was quite happy.

"Yes, it's not far away. Lao Hu told them to follow him and get familiar with the route so that they won't be afraid of getting lost when they go out on their own in the future."

Not seeing anyone, Zhong Ruyi had no choice but to go back to the restaurant.

Zhong's mother was there too. She had just heard that her youngest son and Chen Dongzhi were going with the escort agency, so she wasn't too worried.

"Your third brother is a grown man after all. If he really encounters any danger, won't he just run away if he can't win? Don't worry, come and help mother sort out the clues."

Zhong Ruyi sat down and took the ball of thread from her mother, feeling a little worried. "Then there are only Dad, my eldest brother, and my second sister-in-law left at home. My second sister-in-law is about to give birth. I'm worried that if Dad and the others go to work in the fields, what will happen if my second sister-in-law goes into labor?"

"Besides, all the housework now falls on Dad, my eldest brother and his wife. Am I not afraid that they will have objections?"

Mother Zhong kept moving her hands. "If you have any objections, just speak up and we can solve it together. Besides, aren't you just worrying for nothing? If you really had any objections, your third brother wouldn't have gone to the escort agency."

She thought about it and it made sense. Her third brother must have discussed this decision with their father and the others.

It was the busiest time after noon, so Sun Tao washed her hands and came out to start sewing.

She was still mumbling something, and Zhong's mother asked her what she was talking about.

She sighed and held up the clothes in her hand to show Mother Zhong, "Since Xiaoqin went to the martial arts gym to practice martial arts, his clothes get torn every two or three days. I am so tired of mending them for him."
