A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 126 When will the county town open?

"That's good. Next time if I'm not at home, you can ask someone to help deliver it, or you can ask an adult to deliver it with you."

"Yes, I know that. Ever since we got a share of Jinxiulou last month, our parents have been praising Jinxiulou and you every day. We even wanted to go to your house in person to thank you, but we heard that you went to the county town, so we didn't go."

Zhang Yunyue took out the snacks in her hand and placed them in front of the three people:

"By the way, these are dim sum made by a dim sum chef I found when I was planning to open a dim sum shop in the county. You can try them, they taste pretty good. This bag is for Xiaohua and Xiaohe, and this bag is for Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao, remember to take it away when you go home later."

"Oh, Yueyue, you are so nice." Zhang Xiaohe hugged Zhang Yunyue's arm and said coquettishly.

Zhang Xiaohua opened the snack and gave one piece to each of the three people.

"Yueyue, this dim sum is really delicious. It's totally different from the dim sum in town."

Zhao Xiaoxiao said that in the past, her mother would sometimes buy some snacks for her and her siblings in the town after coming back from selling handkerchiefs.

"Yeah, I think it's delicious too."

"If it tastes good, I'll bring it back for you next time I come back."

"Next time, Yueyue, are you going to the county town again?"

"Yes, I will be back for only two or three days. The store in the county town will be open soon. I am back mainly to get things from the workshop. Next time I come back, I will bring you snacks from my store.

If you ever go to the county town, I'll take you to eat hotpot in my shop."

"Forget about going to the county town. We rarely even go to the town."

"That's nothing. Just embroider well and then you can go to the county town to buy a house or a shop. You can start your own business or rent it out to others."

"Let's talk about it later. We are still young now, and we don't have a brain as smart as yours, Yueyue. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to cooperate with Jinxiu Tower. Now we are quite satisfied." Zhang Xiaohua said.

Zhang Yunyue thought, yes, in this era, once girls reach the age of 15, they will get married. But after getting married, they will be surrounded by the elderly and children, and will be responsible for the daily necessities of life. Now, for several of them, having a career is already very good.

So they don't worry about it anymore. At least now the share of Jinxiulou's profit every month allows both families to live well.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's have some snacks. You'll be happy after having some snacks. By the way, Xiaohua, Xiaohe, Xiaoxiao, I don't think I'll be back until the end of this month, so you can go to Jinxiu Tower to pick up last month's share when I get back."

"It doesn't matter. We are not in a hurry. Just do your own thing first. Xiaohua, Xiaohe and I have collected a lot of embroidery patterns. Even my mother has embroidered two pieces.

But my mother said that this should be considered mine, so there is no need to give her extra money."

"Yes, the two embroidered by Aunt Xiang are very beautiful."

"As long as it looks good, anyone can embroider it. By the way, Xiaohua, Xiaohe, Xiaoxiao, you guys embroider first. I'll go back first. I have something else to do at home."

"Okay, Yueyue, come over and play when you have nothing to do. The three of us are together almost every day now."

The three of them also knew that Zhang Yunyue was always busy, so they would not easily go to find Zhang Yunyue. They all knew that as long as Zhang Yunyue was free, he would just go and play with them.

"okay, I get it."

After parting with the three people, Zhang Yunyue returned home.

"Sister, you're finally back." Zhang Yunxue saw Zhang Yunyue coming in and ran over to hug Zhang Yunyue.

Zhang Yunyue took Zhang Yunxue's hand and walked into the yard: "Xiaoxue, have you had some snacks?"

"I have, sister, the snacks are really delicious."

"You stay in the yard first. I'll go into the house to get you the gift I brought back from the county town."

"Sister, you brought me a gift too, so go ahead, I'll be waiting for you in the yard."

Zhang Yunyue let go of Zhang Yunxue's hand, walked into the house, took the hairpin she had bought in her hand, and left the room.

"Xiaoxue, here, this is the hair flower that I bought for you. Come, I'll put it on for you."

Today, Zhang Yunxue was wearing a dress made of the light yellow cloth that Zhang Yunyue bought last time, and she put the light yellow headband on Zhang Yunyue.

"It's really beautiful, let's go show it to Second Aunt and Grandma."

After listening to Zhang Yunyue's words, Zhang Yunxue ran away and went to Grandma Zhang and A Niang. After receiving praise from the two, Zhang Yunxue came back to Zhang Yunyue and kept sticking to Zhang Yunyue.

Maybe it was because they hadn't seen each other for more than half a month, so Zhang Yunxue acted unusually clingy this afternoon, calling me "Sister" from time to time.

evening.

Everyone gathered in the yard. Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun talked to everyone about things in the county, from the first day they arrived in the county to today when they returned.

Tell everyone everything in detail.

Grandpa Zhang: "Yueyue, when will the county town open for business?"

"Grandpa, the fortune teller my second uncle found on the street said that he will open on the 12th of this month, just three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's a good time to promote it. It should attract a lot of people during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Yes, that's a good idea."

"Grandpa, why don't our whole family go to the county town to have a look? You haven't been to the county town yet, and you haven't seen our own store."

"Forget it, forget it. I still have a workshop to look after at home. Besides, I can't stand sitting in a carriage for a whole morning."

"Oh, Grandpa, it's just two or three days. Why don't you let cousin Zhong look after the workshop? Nothing will happen in two or three days. This Mid-Autumn Festival, Dad and Mom are in town, and my second uncle and eldest brother are in the county. If you stay in your hometown..."

"No, your father and mother will come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. They also have to go back to their mother's home. Your second aunt also has to go back to her mother's home, so we won't go to the county town."

Zhang Yunyue thought about it and it made sense. Mother and Second Aunt still had to go back to her parents' home, and it would be inconvenient if they spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in the county town.

"Okay, Grandpa."

"By the way, Grandpa, there is a food store in town over there. I think the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, why don't we prepare some Mid-Autumn Festival gifts."

"Okay, although the workshop has only been in operation for two or three months, everyone has done a good job and is very hardworking. Yueyue, what are you going to prepare for everyone as Mid-Autumn Festival gifts?"

"Grandpa, I'm at home these two days, so I think you can build an oven in the thatched shed in the backyard tomorrow, and we can bake some mooncakes. Then we can give the workshop half a pound of chili oil and half a pound of crispy peppers, plus six mooncakes per person as a festival gift."

"Yes, this festival gift is fine. Okay, I'll bring Xiaoyun with me to set up the oven tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa."

The next day.

After Grandpa Zhang opened the door of the workshop, he returned home.

He took Zhang Xingyun and Zhang Xinghao to work in the thatched shed in the backyard.

By the time the three of them had set up the oven, it was almost noon. In order to use the oven as soon as possible, Grandpa Zhang kept burning firewood so that the food could be dried as quickly as possible.
