Two years passed like this.
Zhang Xingfeng passed the examination and became the youngest student in the entire Sanhe Town.
By chance, he bought 400 acres of land from a landlord and became a real landlord. The land was in a village called Lijia Village and Xiangjia Village under Sanhe Town, and he owned half of the land in each village.
In the past two years, the Zhang family has not been in a hurry to open branches elsewhere, but still maintains the food store in the town and the two stores in the county.
Later, thinking that it was not convenient to stay in a hot pot restaurant every time I went to the county town, I bought a three-courtyard house in Taoyuan Lane, East Street.
Then we bought a family from the dental shop, a couple with three children, who usually lived there and looked after the house.
When the Zhang family went to the county town, they all lived in Taoyuan Lane.
Zhang Xingyun and Zhang Xinghao have also spent most of their time in the county town helping out in the past two years, and have also learned how to read account books and manage the store.
Zhang's father and mother are no longer busy in the food store. Zhang Chao has become more and more skilled in dealing with people in the past two years.
So they simply let Zhang Chao be the manager of the food store. It just so happened that the previous kitchen assistant also knew how to cook the food store's dishes.
So they were let be cooks, and two kitchen helpers and a waiter were recruited from the village.
The workshop also had some other merchants purchasing goods. The previous workers were just able to handle the orders from Tianxianglou and the food shop, but now the workshop has gained a lot of new customers.
Some of them directly sent the goods to other places to sell, and then recruited some people from the village to work in the workshop.
As there were more people, the workshop seemed a bit crowded, so the Zhang family expanded the workshop a lot.
In the surrounding villages and towns spreading out from Zhangjia Village, including other neighboring towns, in the past two years, apart from growing their own annual grain and tax grain, the rest of the crops have been planted into peppers and peanuts.
When the harvest season arrives, the yards of every household are bustling with activity.
Then the Qiao and Zhu families began to travel non-stop to various villages to collect peppers and peanuts.
The same is true for Lao Zhang's workshop. People living in the nearby Zhangjia Village carry their peppers directly to the workshop to sell, which allows them to earn a few dozen more cents.
As time goes by here, Zhang Yunyue has become accustomed to the life here, integrated herself into the place, and increasingly regards the Zhang family here as her own relatives.
In the past two years, every Lantern Festival, Zhang Yunyue would take his family to the county town to watch the lantern festival and celebrate the Lantern Festival.
The fourteenth day of the first lunar month in the eighth year of Tiancheng.
"Yueyue, Xiaoxue, have you changed your clothes? It's time to get ready to go."
Zhang's mother stood downstairs in the third courtyard and shouted at the people upstairs.
"Okay, okay, mother."
"Second Aunt, I'm done changing and will be right down."
Pushing open the door, Zhang Yunxue was wearing a pink chest-length Ruijing skirt with a pink brocade and fur-lined cloak on the outside.
Zhu helped to comb her hair into double buns, which were tied on both sides with red ribbons. Bells were hung on both ends of the ribbons, and a tinkling sound could be heard when she walked.
The eight-year-old girl looks even more beautiful than she did two years ago.
He walked to the door of Zhang Yunyue's room and knocked on the door: "Sister, are you ready? Come out soon."
"Here I come, Xiaoxue."
The door of the room was opened from the inside.
Zhang Yunyue walked out of the room wearing the same red chest-length Ruijing skirt as Zhang Yunxue, and then put on a red brocade and fur-lined cloak.
Compared to two years ago, Zhang Yunyue's current height has reached the modern star standard of 1.68 meters. Compared to the cuteness she had when she was thirteen years old, her appearance is much more beautiful and elegant.
"Sister, you look so beautiful in this."
Zhang Yunyue raised her bent index finger and touched her nose: "Well, Xiaoxue will look good in this." After that, she took Zhang Yunxue's hand and went downstairs.
The two of them walked into the main room, and everyone looked at the two sisters wearing the same style but different colors, and they all showed surprised expressions.
Grandma Zhang smiled and said, "Our little girls Xiaoxue and Yueyue are becoming more and more beautiful."
Zhu smiled and agreed, "That's right. Ever since Yueyue came of age, I've noticed that she's getting prettier and prettier. I don't know which man she'll marry in the future."
Zhang Yunyue said coquettishly: "Second Aunt, I don't want to get married. I just want to stay with you forever. You can't chase me away."
Zhang's mother said, "Well, when this is said, it's still the Yueyue we are familiar with, haha."
"Hahaha"
Grandpa Zhang stopped smiling and said, "Now that everything is packed, let's go. We'll arrive at the county town around noon."
Grandpa Zhang walked in the front, Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Yunxue followed behind holding one arm of Grandma Zhang each, and Zhu and Zhang's mother walked at the end while talking.
At this moment, Zhang's father and Zhang Cheng were each pulling a carriage outside the door, and the three Zhang Xingyun brothers were standing next to them.
After two years of study and management in the county, Zhang Xingyun and Zhang Xinghao looked more shrewd and capable, especially Zhang Xingyun, who had a hint of foxy cunning in his eyes and always greeted people with a smile.
Father Zhang saw that everyone had come out and said, "Hurry up and get on the carriage, so that we can get to the county town earlier."
So the women got on Zhang's father's carriage, and the men got on a carriage at the back led by Zhang Cheng.
At noon, the Zhang family arrived at the county town in two horse-drawn carriages.
Everyone was hungry now. If they went directly back to the house in Taoyuan Lane, East Street, they would have to wait for Aunt Li to boil water and cook.
So Zhang Cheng drove the carriage directly to the hot pot restaurant.
The waiter at the door saw Zhang's father and Zhang Cheng driving the carriage and immediately ran over to them: "Master, Second Master, you are here. Shopkeeper Li reminded us early in the morning to pay attention to your carriage."
Then the waiter called another waiter in the lobby to come over, and each of them led a horse.
Several people got off the carriage and walked into the lobby of the hot pot restaurant.
Li Wenyu saw the Dong family coming in through the door.
He put down the brush in his hand and quickly walked up to the few people: "Old Master, Old Madam, Boss, you are here. You must be hungry after traveling so long. It is not convenient to eat downstairs. Boss, please go upstairs."
After saying that, he raised his hand and motioned for everyone to follow him upstairs.
Li Wenyu brought the people to the private room: "Boss, do you want to eat hot pot now? Or stir-fry?"
Zhang Yunyue thought that everyone was a little cold on the road this morning, and eating hot pot could help drive away the cold.
"Hotpot, shabu-shabu hotpot, one spicy chicken hotpot, one clear soup."
"Okay, then wait a moment, boss. I'll have someone bring you some snacks and tea. The hot pot will be served shortly."
After saying that, Li Wenyu bowed to everyone and walked out.
After going downstairs, he asked people to bring snacks and tea upstairs, and also asked the kitchen to prepare hot pot.
Because there were people eating hot pot on the second floor, and there was charcoal burning in the middle of the table in front of us, so it was quite warm in the box.
Zhang Yunyue took off the cloak he was wearing and said to Zhang Yunxue:
