A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 139 Is there anything fun in the county?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaohe immediately stood up from the stove and brushed off the stove ash on his body. Zhang Xiaohua also put down the cooking spatula in his hand.

Zhang Xiaohua: "Mother, let's go find Yueyue first, and call father to light the fire."

"Go, go." Mu took the spatula from Zhang Xiaohua's hand.

Zhang Xiaohe ran straight into the yard, while Zhang Xiaohua walked quickly into the yard.

Zhang Xiaohe saw Zhang Yunyue standing in the yard, so she ran over and hugged Zhang Yunyue, saying aggrievedly:

"Yueyue, you're back. Last time you said you'd come back at the end of the month, but now it's already the beginning of the month and you're back."

Zhang Xiaohua walked into the yard a few steps behind Zhang Xiaohe and first said to her father who was sitting there, "Dad, mom asked me to ask you to go to the kitchen to help light the fire."

"Okay, then you three can chat in the yard, and I'll go help your mother light the fire." After saying that, he got up and went to the kitchen.

"Yueyue, you're back."

Zhang Xiaohe let go of Zhang Yunyue's hand and glanced at the snacks on the table in the yard: "Yueyue, you brought us snacks from the store again."

After saying that, he took a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth, then took another piece and put it into Zhang Xiaohua's mouth.

"Yueyue, the snacks you brought back are still the best. The snacks my brother brought back from town are not as delicious as yours."

"Then eat more. I brought back a lot from the county this time. There's also a pack for Xiaoxiao. Let's go to Xiaoxiao's house."

"Then let's go quickly, or we'll be late for dinner."

After saying that, sisters Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xiaohua linked their arms and walked towards Zhao Xiaoxiao's home.

"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, are you there?" Zhang Xiaohe shouted at the gate of Zhao Xiaoxiao's house.

When Zhao Dongsheng heard someone calling his elder sister, he said, "Sister Xiaohe, my sister is in the kitchen helping my mother cook."

"Dongsheng, go call your sister out."

"Okay." After saying that, Zhao Dongsheng ran away.

"Xiao He, what do you want to talk to me about?" Zhao Xiaoxiao came out from the backyard and saw Zhang Yunyue in the yard: "Hey, Yueyue, when did you come back?"

"I just came back today and came to see you. Here, these are some snacks for you."

"Thank you Yueyue, Dongsheng really likes eating your snacks!"

Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't act pretentiously. She directly took the snack that Zhang Yunyue handed over, and then handed it to her younger brother:

"Dongsheng, put the snacks that Sister Yueyue gave you in the main room and eat them after dinner. You can't eat them now, or you won't be able to eat them later."

"Okay, sister, I got it." Zhao Dongsheng took the wrapped snack and skipped towards the main room.

Zhao Xiaoxiao pulled Zhang Yunyue and said, "Come on, Yueyue, Xiaohua, Xiaohe, let's go to my room and talk."

Zhao Xiaoxiao knew that Zhang Yunyue came today to discuss the profit sharing at Jinxiufang, so she took Zhang Yunyue and the other two to her room.

After the three entered the house, they sat on the bed and stools in the room respectively.

After Zhang Yunyue sat down, he took out the silver bills in his arms.

"I went to the town to pick up the share of Jinxiufang's profits from the month before last when I came back from the county seat today. The total is 5020 taels, 1255 taels per person."

After saying that, Zhang Yunyue separated the banknotes and handed them to the three people.

"Here, take it. This is the banknote for each of you."

Because they had seen a large-denomination banknote once before, Zhang Xiaohua and the other two took the banknote and put it directly into their arms this time.

"Thank you, Yueyue." Zhao Xiaoxiao put the banknote away and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Yueyue, my mother made a dress for you. I'll go get it for you."

Zhao Xiaoxiao walked to the end of the bed, opened the box there, and took out the clothes on top.

"Yueyue, here, this is what my mother made for you. My mother said there was nothing to thank you for, and the only thing she could show off was her embroidery skills, so she went to town to buy a piece of cloth and made a new dress for you. Take a look and see if it fits."

After Zhao Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she stretched out her clothes.

Zhang Yunyue looked at the clothes that Zhao Xiaoxiao stretched out: "It looks good, and the embroidered flowers are also beautiful. Xiaoxiao, please thank Aunt Xiang for me."

"What's the big deal? You took me to embroider patterns for Jinxiufang, and I haven't thanked you yet. And you always bring us snacks every time you come back. You can just take this dress, but you can't refuse it, otherwise my mother will be sad."

"Okay, I'll keep it. Aunt Xiang's craftsmanship is really good." Zhang Yunyue took the clothes from Zhao Xiaoxiao and touched the embroidered pattern on it.

"Then Xiaoxiao, Xiaohua, Xiaohe and I will go home first. Everyone at home is cooking now, and it will be time for dinner soon."

"Okay, I'll take you out."

Zhang Yunyue folded and wrapped the clothes, held them in her arms, and walked home with sisters Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohe.

Zhang Xiaohua: "Yueyue, are you going back to the county town this time when you come back?"

Zhang Yunyue shook her head. "Not for the time being. Business in the county is now stable, and there is a dedicated shopkeeper watching over the store, so there is no need to worry. Besides, my second uncle will deliver goods to the county every few days, so he can just stop by to check on the store's situation."

"Really? Then wait until you rest at home for two days, and then we'll go visit you."

"Okay."

Zhang Xiaohe: "Yueyue, you've been in the county for so long. Are there any fun places in the county? Are there many things for sale?"

"Yes, there is. There is a street in the county town that specializes in selling snacks and small toys. There are a lot of delicious food there. My brother and I have been there several times. There is a mutton soup restaurant on that street that is particularly delicious and fresh, without any smell of mutton. Moreover, the mutton soup restaurant has been open for one or two hundred years. It is a time-honored brand."

"Has it been open for so long? When I go to the county town in the future, I will also go to that street to drink mutton soup. Yueyue, is there any left?"

"Yes, there are also various cakes in it, such as stove cakes, pot cakes, egg cakes, and quite a lot of them."

Zhang Xiaohe shook Zhang Yunyue's hand and said aggrievedly: "Ah, Yueyue, after listening to you, I am getting hungrier and hungrier. What should I do?"

"When there's a chance in the future, I'll take you to visit the county town. We'll go to my restaurant to eat hot pot first, and then I'll take you to visit the snack street."

"Okay, Yueyue, you must remember this."

"Don't worry, I won't forget."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at her twin sister Xiaohe, who was a foodie, and smiled and shook her head.

"You, when you heard Yueyue say there was something delicious, you were so excited."

"Oh, sister, I just like to eat, and Yueyue said it's delicious, so it must be delicious."

"Okay, hold your hungry mouth for now. Dinner is coming soon, so you can fill your foodie mouth first." They said as they arrived at Zhang Xiaohua's house: "Yueyue, we are home, let's go home first!"
