A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 164: Wide Range of Interests

Grandpa Zhang clasped his fists and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Today, Mr. Xiao and Manager Cao are here together, which makes my humble home more glorious."

Cao Shiyang glanced at the waiter behind him, and the waiter came forward with a gift.

"Miss Zhang, old man, I hope you will accept this small gift."

Grandpa Zhang: "Thank you, Manager Cao."

Father Zhang stepped forward, took the gift from the mistress and placed it at the registration desk.

At the same time, Xiao Qi also glanced at Mo Wen beside him. Mo Wen understood and took out fifty taels of silver from his arms.

Xiao Qi smiled and said to the Zhang family members in front of him, "Miss Zhang, Mr. Zhang, I came here rashly today and didn't have time to prepare a gift. This fifty taels will be my gift. I hope you will accept it."

Mo Wen took a step forward with the silver note and looked at Grandpa Zhang and the others with a smile.

Grandpa Zhang: "Thank you very much, Mr. Xiao." After saying that, Zhang Cheng stepped forward and took the banknote.

"Boss Xiao, Shopkeeper Cao, three young men, we are going to set up a banquet soon. Please come in."

When Zhang's father led Xiao Qi, Cao Shiyang and others inside, Mrs. Chen, who was sitting at the women's table, was talking to Grandma Zhang. She saw Grandma Zhang suddenly stop talking and look in another direction.

Out of curiosity, I followed Grandma Zhang's gaze and happened to meet the eyes of Xiao Qi, Cao Shiyang and others.

Each was surprised that the other was here.

However, considering that the banquet was about to be held, it was not appropriate to talk, so Xiao Qi shook his head.

Cao Shiyang smiled at Madam Chen and said silently, "Let's talk about it after dinner."

Seeing Madam Chen nod, she and Xiao Qi followed Zhang's father away.

Madam Chen was shocked. The Dong family and Cao Shiyang actually knew the Yueyue family. What kind of fate was this?

After all, one of them basically stays in the county town, and the other is simply rarely seen.

Father Zhang took a few people to sit at a separate table, and then took Zhang Xingyun and Zhang Xingzhong to sit at the table together.

The reason why I brought Zhang Xingyun and Zhang Xingzhong with me was to train them. After all, they will meet different people in the future.

After everyone was seated, women began to bring food to each table.

Today, the Zhang family asked the chef to prepare twelve dishes for each table, seven meat dishes, three vegetarian dishes, one cold dish, and one soup.

Zhang Cheng told the chef in advance to prepare more food for today, after all, there are quite a few people in his village.

As the dishes were served, the villagers sitting at the table were surprised. After all, no family in the village would prepare so many dishes for a banquet, and most of them were meat.

Zhang Cheng brought his cousins Zhang Gui, Zhang Jiang, and Zhang Chong, each holding a jar of wine, to pour wine for the men at each table.

"Everyone eat and drink well."

Zhang Dashan: "Okay, we will definitely eat and drink well today."

Everyone listened and agreed loudly: "Okay."

Father Zhang: "Boss Xiao, Shopkeeper Cao, let me offer you a glass of wine. Thank you for coming today. Come on, everyone raise your glasses, and let's drink one too."

Although Xiao Qi looked only one or two years older than Zhang Xingyun, because he was the owner of Tianxiang Tower, Zhang's father did not treat Xiao Qi as a junior. His toast to him was a sincere expression of gratitude.

Except for Zhang Xingyun, everyone else at the table picked up their glasses and started drinking.

"Boss Xiao, Shopkeeper Cao, the food is simple, please don't mind. Come on, come on, start eating."

Xiao Qi smiled and shook his head, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite: "Mr. Zhang, you are too polite. Although it looks a bit simple, the taste is different from that in the restaurant."

"That's good, that's good. Come on, everyone, eat."

After dinner.

Madam Chen walked towards Xiao Qi and Cao Shiyang. Zhang Yunyue followed them and just in time heard Madam Chen calling Xiao Qi, "Boss."

Zhang Yunyue’s eyes widened instantly and looked at them in surprise.

Madam Chen looked at Zhang Yunyue who was walking over and said with a smile: "Yueyue, I didn't expect that you also knew the boss and Manager Cao. When I saw the boss and Manager Cao just now, I thought I had made a mistake."

After being surprised, Zhang Yunyue listened to what Chen Niang said and nodded subconsciously:

"Well, our workshop has cooperated with Xiao Dong's Tianxianglou, but, Madam Chen, what did you mean just now? Why did you also follow Manager Cao to call Dongjia?"

When Madam Chen saw that the boss's expression did not change, but he looked at them with a smile on his lips, she knew that there was nothing that could not be said.

So he smiled and said, "That's right, Jinxiufang is also the boss's property, so I naturally have to call him the boss.

Boss, our embroidery workshop cooperates with a girl every month. She provides embroidery samples, and our own embroiderers embroider and sell them. The embroidery samples provided in the past few months have also made a lot of money for Jinxiufang. That girl is Yueyue in front of us. "

Zhang Yunyue: "I didn't expect that Jinxiufang is also the property of Xiao Dongjia." She joked to Xiao Qi: "It seems that Xiao Dongjia's property covers a wide range."

After all, restaurants and embroidery workshops are two completely unrelated industries.

Xiao Qi himself had a good impression of Zhang Yunyue. The calmness and composure she showed when signing the contracts for two servings of mung beans and chili peppers made it easy for people to ignore that she was a thirteen-year-old girl.

Now that he is also cooperating with Jinxiufang under his name, Xiao Qi becomes even more curious about Zhang Yunyue.

He smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to be Miss Zhang. If I hadn't met Miss Chen today, I wouldn't have known it would be such a coincidence."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either."

Cao Shiyang was also surprised. The Zhang family's chili oil workshop and mung bean jelly have made a lot of money for Tianxianglou in the past few months. He didn't expect that Jinxiufang would also cooperate with Miss Zhang.

And from what Madam Chen said, they have made a lot of money in the past few months.

Cao Shiyang was also more curious about Zhang Yunyue in front of him, not to mention Zhang Yunyue's previous ability in reconciling and calculating accounts.

But I could only be curious and not pry into other people's secrets at will. I could only give up and wait and see if I could see other abilities of Miss Zhang in the future.

Cao Shiyang gave up his inner thoughts and looked at the sky. Seeing that it was past noon, he leaned over to his boss and whispered, "Boss, we should go back to the county town. Otherwise, we might not get there until after dark."

Xiao Qi nodded.

Cao Shiyang clasped his fists and said, "Miss Zhang, it's almost time. We won't bother you any more. We have to hurry back to the county town."

Zhang Yunyue looked at the sky. He had been to the county town before, so he knew that if they left any later, it might be dark. Although they had several people walking together, it was still not safe.

"Okay, then I won't keep you guys here. I'll just see you off."

Mr. Zhang, who was standing nearby, heard the conversation and stood up to see them out.

Madam Chen: "Yueyue, since the gift has been delivered, I will go back to town with it. I will also take the embroidery back to town to frame it. You can come to me to get it when you are free."
