A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 138 Preparing food in the kitchen

Zhang Xingyun shook his head: "Not for the time being, I only need to go once in a while."

"Really!"

Zhang Yunyue also echoed, "Of course it's true. Now the shops in the county are stable. There are employees and shopkeepers in the shops, so we don't need to guard them anymore."

"Oh, great, then I can see my big brother and big sister more often. By the way, big brother, big sister, are you going home later?"

Zhang Xingyun nodded: "We will pick you up and take you back to the food store. You will stay in the food store for a while before returning to the village."

"Ah, brother, sister, please stay for a while. I haven't talked to you yet." Zhang Xingfeng said aggrievedly.

"It's okay. It's Grandpa's birthday the day after tomorrow. When Daddy sends you to the private school tomorrow, he will also ask your teacher for a day off. When you finish school tomorrow, Daddy and Mommy will take you home."

After hearing what Zhang Yunyue said, Zhang Xingfeng instantly became happy again.

"Yeah, brother, sister, then you guys wait for me to come home tomorrow."

"I know. By the way, my sister came back from the county town today and brought you some snacks made in the store."

When Zhang Xingfeng heard his elder sister say that she had brought back some snacks, his eyes immediately lit up as he looked at Zhang Yunyue. The last time his elder sister came back, the snacks she brought back were especially delicious.

I also took some to the private school and gave some to my good classmates. They ate a lot and said it was delicious. Today my sister brought some back again, so I can bring some more to the private school for them tomorrow.

"Sister, my classmates really liked the snacks you brought back. They said they had never eaten such delicious snacks before."

"Then bring some to the private school tomorrow for your classmates to eat. Sister brought back a lot this time. Next time you want to eat more, ask Brother Xiaochao to take the letter home and ask Uncle to bring it back when he goes to the county town to deliver goods."

"Really? Thank you, sis."

As the three of them were talking, they returned to the food store.

Zhang Yunyue took out the snacks she had brought back from the carriage and left some for Zhang's father and his two companions in the town.

After chatting with Zhang's father and others for a while, he drove the carriage back to the village.

Zhang Cheng drove his carriage to the door of his house and was about to stop the carriage when he met Grandpa Zhang and Zhang Xinghao who were returning from work in the workshop.

When Zhang Xinghao saw Zhang Cheng coming back in a horse-drawn carriage, he immediately ran to the carriage with joy.

"Dad, you're back."

Zhang Cheng sat in the front of the carriage and said, "Hey, Xiaohao, you and your grandfather are off work."

After saying that, Zhang Cheng stopped the carriage and jumped off. Zhang Xingyun lifted the curtain and jumped off, and Zhang Yunyue followed closely behind.

"Brother, Yueyue, you are back too." Zhang Xinghao said in surprise as he looked at Zhang Xingyun and Zhang Yunyue who jumped off the carriage one after another.

"Yes, brother, we are all back."

Zhang Xingyun and Zhang Yunyue looked at Grandpa Zhang who had come up to them and said together, "Grandpa, we're back."

After saying that, he started taking out the bags, snacks, etc. from the carriage.

Grandpa Zhang answered as he took the snacks from their bundles: "Glad you're back. Give me some of the food too, and I'll take it in with you."

Seeing his grandfather helping to carry things, Zhang Xinghao also stood beside the carriage and took the bag.

Several people walked into the yard, each carrying something.

Grandma Zhang, Mrs. Zhu, and Zhang Yunxue were all sitting in the yard. When they saw Zhang Xingyun and Zhang Yunyue coming in with packages, they immediately stood up happily.

Grandma Zhang: "Hey, Xiaoyun, Yueyue, you're back."

Zhu looked at them and then looked back: "Xiaoyun, Yueyue, you are back. Is your second uncle back too?"

Zhang Xinghao responded quickly: "Mother, father is back too, and he will be unloading the carriage outside the door."

"Oh, you're all back. I didn't make enough for dinner. I'll go make some more dishes. You guys take a break first."

After saying that, Zhu went to the kitchen. Seeing this, Grandma Zhang also went to the kitchen to help.

Zhang Yunxue saw the people coming back, then ran to Zhang Yunyue and hugged her: "Brother, sister, you are finally back."

"Xiaoxue, let go of my sister for a moment. She is holding some snacks in her hand. Do you want to eat some snacks made in our store in the county?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunxue hurriedly let go of her hands that were around Zhang Yunyue's waist.

Zhang Yunyue put the snacks in her hand on the table, then took out a bag of snacks, opened it, and let Zhang Yunxue and the others eat it. Then she took two more pieces into the kitchen and stuffed one into the mouths of Grandma Zhang and Mrs. Zhu respectively.

After returning to the yard, she carried her bag and the bag of ready-made clothes she bought for her grandparents into her room and put them away. She also placed the ingredients for making the cake she had bought today in the kitchen.

Zhang Yunyue thought that her second aunt and grandma were cooking in the kitchen and it would take some time before dinner, so she wanted to find Xiaohua and the others to bring them the share of Jinxiufang's profits and snacks.

"Grandpa, dinner is still a while away at home. I have something to ask Xiaohua and the others. I'll give them some of the snacks I brought back."

"Okay, go ahead. Come back soon after you're done. Your Second Aunt and Grandma won't be able to cook for long."

"Hey, I know."

Zhang Yunyue took two bags of snacks from the table and went out of the house.

Arriving at the door of Zhang Xiaohua's house, he asked, "Uncle Dashan, Aunt Mu, Xiaohua, Xiaohe, are you there?"

At this moment, only Zhang Dashan and Mu were sitting in the yard of Zhang Xiaohua's house, eating melon seeds and chatting.

When Mu saw Zhang Yunyue standing at the door, she immediately stood up happily: "Oh, it's Yueyue, Yueyue, when did you come back?"

Zhang Yunyue walked into the yard and said, "Aunt Mu, I just came back. I got the share of Jinxiufang in the town today, so I wanted to give it to Xiaohua and the others as soon as possible." As she spoke, Zhang Yunyue took out a bag of snacks from her hand and handed it to Aunt Mu:

"By the way, Aunt Mu, these are the snacks from my hot pot restaurant in the county. This package is specially for you."

Aunt Mu took the snacks and said embarrassedly, "Oh, Yueyue, you brought a bag of snacks last time you came back, and you brought another bag this time. We are all embarrassed."

"Aunt Mu, Xiaohua and Xiaohe and I get along so well. These snacks are not worth much. They are all made by the chefs in the store. You can keep them. By the way, Aunt Mu, are Xiaohua and Xiaohe here?"

"I'm preparing food in the kitchen. You sit in the yard first. I'll go call the two sisters."

After saying that, Mu walked towards the kitchen.

"Xiaohua, Xiaohe, Yueyue is back. She is waiting for you two in the yard. Go talk to Yueyue while I cook."

Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohe were lighting the fire in the kitchen to prepare food. When they heard Mu's voice, they immediately turned to look at Mu.

Zhang Xiaohe: "Mother, who did you say is back? Is it Yueyue?"

"Yes, Yueyue is waiting for you two in our yard. She said that she has got back the share of Jinxiufang. Go quickly and don't let Yueyue wait anxiously. I will cook and call your father to light the fire for me."
