A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 135 Returning like an arrow

As a result, when we arrived at the door of the hot pot restaurant, we didn't walk any further, but went straight into the restaurant and started ordering food.

No one expected that there would be more customers at this time in the evening than at noon, so the waiters and the people in the kitchen were a little flustered.

We were busy until almost 11:00 p.m., when people in the hot pot restaurant slowly left. By the time everyone finished cleaning up, half an hour had passed and it was already 11:00 p.m.

Zhang Yunyue packed a few mooncakes that were left in the store and gave them to each of the employees. Then he took out a basket from the room. The basket was filled with strings of copper coins, each string containing 100 coins.

Zhang Yunyue gave each employee a bag of mooncakes and a string of copper coins. This was the red envelope that he had agreed on with everyone two days ago.

Zhang Xingyun had already taken the copper coins and mooncakes to the food shop before he went there in the morning, and gave them to the employees when they got off work.

By the time Zhang Yunyue had distributed all the mooncakes and red envelopes, it was already late. Although there was no curfew on the streets yet, there were still a few people wandering around. Zhang Cheng still led the horse out of the backyard, put it on the carriage, and sent the waiter and the helpers in the store home.

Zhang Yunyue took a look at the account book. Today's income was about 55 taels, which was more than the previous few days. The mooncake giveaway activity brought a lot of additional income to the store.

For the next half month, Zhang Yunyue stayed in the hot pot restaurant, Zhang Xingyun helped out at the food store, and Zhang Cheng went back to the village to transport goods every five days. He had transported goods exactly three times in the past half month.

Although oil chili peppers and crispy whistles are not household names in the county, many families buy them. A bottle of half a pound of oil chili peppers can be eaten for several days, which is quite cost-effective for people in the county.

The main thing is that it tastes delicious and can be eaten directly with rice or with steamed buns.

The daily income of the hotpot shop has now stabilized at around 30 taels, and the daily income of the food shop has stabilized at around 15 taels.

Judging from the current daily income, if the two stores are open for another three months, they will be able to fully earn back the money they spent on buying the stores.

This evening.

Zhang Yunyue said to Zhang Cheng who was sitting in front of her, "Second Uncle, now that the hot pot shop and the food shop are both stable, I think we don't need to stay in the shop anymore. We can just come to deliver goods every five days and check the accounts of the two shops."

Although the two shops were opened together and the accounts are usually looked after together, the hot pot shop actually belongs to Zhang Yunyue personally, while the food shop belongs to the Zhang family. Except for the accounts, they are usually separate, but they will still help each other when there is anything.

"Yeah, I think so too. Although I occasionally go back to the village during this period, I am always in a hurry. Now that the situation of the two shops has stabilized, we should really go back."

Zhang Xingyun also said: "I miss home too, the home I went back to with Yueyue before the opening."

"Okay, Second Uncle, Big Brother, let's go home tomorrow. Anyway, there are shopkeepers in the store. If there is something, let them go to the food store in town to send a letter. Uncle Wang Min knows the way. Besides, we have to deliver goods to the county every few days. If there is something, we can also handle it when we come to the county town to deliver goods."

Zhang Yunyue gathered everyone in the backyard.

"Uncle Li, my second uncle, my eldest brother, and I are going to go home tomorrow. From now on, you will be in charge of the hot pot restaurant. If there is any problem at the food store, you can take care of each other."

"Got it, girl."

"By the way, my second uncle usually delivers goods to the county town. You can talk to him if you have anything to say. If there is anything urgent that needs to be dealt with by us right away, you can send a letter to the Four Seasons Food Store in Sanhe Town. The owner of the store is my father."

Li Wenyu nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Okay then, I'll leave the hot pot restaurant to you."

"Don't worry, girl. The hot pot restaurant is our home now. We will take good care of it."

As soon as Li Wenyu finished speaking, the others nodded in agreement. During this month, everyone enjoyed staying here. Although it was busy every day, they were very happy.

The next day.

After the three of them finished breakfast, Aunt Fang packed several bags of baked bread and cakes for them.

Zhang Yunyue thought of these things before going to bed last night. Everyone in the family likes these snacks, including Xiaohua and the others. It's a good opportunity to bring some back for them when I go home.

So Aunt Fang started doing it as soon as she woke up this morning.

Zhang Yunyue and the other two placed their luggage in the carriage, and Aunt Fang also placed the packed snacks in the carriage.

After thinking about it, there is nothing missing.

He got on the carriage, and Zhang Xingyun followed closely behind him.

Zhang Cheng was in charge of driving the carriage at the front.

Zhang Yunyue: "Second Uncle, let's go to town first and give the snacks to Dad and the others. Xiaofeng will definitely like them."

"Okay, Yueyue, don't tell me, I haven't seen Xiaofeng for more than a month."

"Yes, Uncle, how about this, when we get to the town, we stay here for a while, and after we see Xiaofeng, we go home."

"Okay, as long as we can get back to the village today, there is no rush." After saying that, Zhang Cheng continued to drive the carriage towards the town.

The three of them were driving the carriage and were eager to go home, so when Zhang Yunyue woke up from a nap in the carriage, Zhang Cheng had already driven the carriage into the town.

Zhang Yunyue lifted the curtain of the carriage. Today happened to be market day.

"Brother, let's go for a walk in the street. There's a market in town today."

"Okay, let's take a look and buy something to take home."

"Uh-huh."

As he was speaking, Zhang Cheng stopped the carriage.

"Yueyue, Xiaoyun, we're here, get off the car."

"Okay, Uncle."

After saying that, the two of them jumped off the carriage one on the left and one on the right, and Zhang Cheng drove the carriage to the back door.

The two were about to enter the restaurant when Zhang Chao, who was guarding the window, saw them.

"Xiaoyun, Yueyue, you guys are here at the food store. I haven't seen you two for a long time."

Zhang Xingyun looked at Zhang Chao, who was in high spirits, and asked, "Xiao Chao, how are you doing here?"

Zhang Chao smiled and said, "It's good. I really like working here now. I can talk to many people every day."

"That's good. I won't chat with you for now. Let's go into the store first."

"Oh, go ahead, go ahead."

The two entered the food store, looked at Zhang's father who was collecting money at the counter, and walked forward and shouted, "Dad."

"Oh, Yueyue, Xiaoyun, you two are back." After saying that, Father Zhang looked outside again and exclaimed, "Huh?"

Then he asked, "Just the two of you? Where's the carriage?"

"No, my second uncle is back too. He is driving the carriage to the back door now."

"Yueyue, Xiaoyun, now that the three of you are back, does that mean the business in the county has stabilized and you don't need to stay there all the time?"

"Yeah, yes, Dad, the hot pot shop and food shop business are both stable, and we miss home, so we decided to come back."
