Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 245

Seeing him come out so quickly, Zhong Ruyi pulled him over with a smile, "Come quickly, there are a lot of ripe tomatoes, I picked some for you."

It was also strange that Chen Dongzhi had a lukewarm reaction to the watermelon, grapes, cherries and other fruits she brought, but he was very fond of the tomatoes he had eaten by chance.

Knowing that he loved to eat tomatoes, she picked a basket of them every time the tomatoes at home were ripe to satisfy his craving.

Tomatoes are also easy to grow. You can just sow the seeds anywhere and they will grow and mature in about fifty days.

So we ate it one crop after another without stopping.

Zhong Ruyi told him that tomatoes are good for beautifying the skin. Maybe he took her advice to heart. He already loved tomatoes, so after hearing this he ate even more.

"I made lunch today. There's scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Try it and see if it tastes good. If you like it, I'll make it for you next time."

Chen Dongzhi nodded, took the washed tomato she handed over, and was about to take a bite when he suddenly remembered that he had not washed his hands yet, so he quickly went to wash his hands before coming back to eat.

After lunch, Zhong Ruyi asked him if he was free, as she wanted to go to the town to see if there were any geese to buy and raise.

"What are you buying the goose for? Do you want a big goose or a gosling?" Chen Dongzhi picked up the shirt that he had thrown aside and put it on.

With his abdominal and pectoral muscles blocked, Zhong Ruyi smacked his lips with some regret and said, "I bought it to look after the yard. I was thinking if I bought a grown-up goose, it might chase after me if it saw me. So why not buy a gosling and raise it until it's grown up and doesn't do that anymore?"

"Then let's go. It may not be available right now. Let's go check it out first."

The two of them arrived in the town and walked around. They actually found a stall selling chickens, ducks and geese. The furry little chicks and ducklings were kept in baskets.

Zhong Ruyi took a look and saw that the busiest time had passed and there were only a few furry creatures left on the stall.

"Boss, how much are the geese?"

The vendor smiled and said, "Five cents each, and these are the last three left."

The last three were bought by Zhong Ruyi, and the vendor even gave her a basket to put the goslings in. "Goodbye, sir."

The two walked around the market again and bought some fresh mushrooms.

There were some green mushrooms and some moldy-looking mushrooms. Zhong Ruyi had never eaten them before, so she didn't dare to touch them, for fear that if she accidentally put her hands in her mouth, she would have to see the villain.

The boss saw her standing in front of the stall and quickly introduced it to her. He reached out and picked up a green one and said, "Girl, this is delicious. Buy some and add some oil and minced garlic. It will be delicious when you fry it!"

As soon as Zhong Ruyi's eyes fell on the pile of moldy mushrooms, the boss immediately picked it up and said, "This one is good! This one is also delicious. Add some oil and minced garlic to stir-fry. I guarantee you will eat three bowls of rice in one meal!"

Chen Dongzhi looked at the pile of mushrooms and whispered to her, "The first one is poisonous, but it's edible once it's fried. It's very fragrant."

Seeing that there were many people selling mushrooms, the boss picked up a moldy-looking mushroom and took a bite of it on the spot in order to prevent the two potential customers from leaving.

! ! ! !

Zhong Ruyi was stunned and wanted to reach out and slap the mushrooms out of his hand.

The boss didn't think anything of it, but suddenly started singing, "A small town over on the other side of Baba Mountain~~ Beautiful Baba Mountain welcomes people from all over the world~~"

!!!

Is this poisoned? Chen Dongzhi pulled her to leave, but Zhong Ruyi was afraid that something might happen to her boss and it would be bad if she left.

She was a little scared. The boss just took a piece of the green mushroom with his hand and then took a bite of other mushrooms. Could she be poisoned?

Perhaps knowing that he had scared people a bit, the boss gave a silly smile and put aside the mushroom he had just taken a bite of.

Seeing that he was not singing again, Zhong Ruyi asked cautiously, "Boss, do you see anything extra around me?"

What's extra?

The boss was a little confused. He looked around at the two of them and shook his head. "No, what's the extra thing?"

That’s good, Zhong Ruyi felt relieved. Seeing that he was working so hard to sell some mushrooms, she bought all the mushrooms on his stall.

The boss was very happy, thinking that his singing had touched the two guests, and he opened his voice to sing a few more words.

Zhong Ruyi didn't dare to listen anymore. She took the mushrooms wrapped in leaves and ran with Chen Dongzhi, saying, "Boss, remember to wash your hands!"

The two hurried away.

Just after they left, Zhang Mingzhu and Zhang Mingzhen came out from the stall next to them and stared at their backs as they walked away.

Zhang Mingzhen tugged at her sister's clothes and said, "Let's go. What's so good about this? Our family and my uncle's family don't have any contact anymore. I don't want to go and get close to this cousin."

Zhang Mingzhu stared at Chen Dongzhi's back infatuatedly, watching him being intimate with her cousin, and she gritted her teeth in anger.

"How am I inferior to her?"

"What?" Zhang Mingzhen didn't hear clearly what she said, and leaned over to listen to her in confusion.

"No, let's go." Zhang Mingzhu shook her head and reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

As soon as I got home, I heard my mother scolding my eldest brother, saying that he was so old but didn't even think about going out to find a job to support himself, and just sat around at home all day.

She returned to her room with some disgust, but her mother's words still lingered in her ears, "Look at you three siblings, and then look at your uncle's children. They all have their own stores now, and the youngest girl even opened two stores!"

"Look at others and then look at yourself! What can you compare with others?"

Zhong Mei looked at the children she had raised with great effort, and now they were not happy to listen if she said a few more words.

She suddenly felt sad as she looked at this family. The husband was lazy, the son was unmotivated, the two daughters were arrogant, and the parents-in-law were cowardly.

Could it be that I was wrong?

The man waved his hands impatiently, "Alright, alright, stop talking. It's not a big deal not to go out and find a job. Don't you still have you and your parents?"

Zhong Mei looked at her husband and saw the impatience and disgust on his face. She suddenly remembered what her second sister-in-law said: if her parents-in-law died in the future, would it be her turn to be his parent and support him?

This is not the life I want!

Yes! She is not without a way out, she still has her second brother! His second brother will help her!

She looked excited. Didn’t her second brother and his wife like her daughter?

I have given birth to two daughters, so let Mingzhu and Mingzhen please their uncle and aunt. Maybe my second brother will forgive me for the sake of my two daughters and help me.

Zhong Mei went straight into Zhang Mingzhu's room without knocking. Seeing her still lying on the bed in broad daylight, she wanted to scold her, but thinking of the purpose of her visit, she endured it.

"Mom! Why didn't you knock before coming in?" Zhang Mingzhu was thinking seriously when she was suddenly frightened by a pair of hands behind her.

When he turned around, he saw his mother sitting on a chair beside his bed, looking at him with joy on her face.
