A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 124: Saliva

Because a waiter would be needed after the shop opened, Zhang Cheng posted the recruitment document written by Zhang Yunyue at the door of the shop a few days ago.

In the past few days, we have recruited 20 waiters and 6 women. Among them, the food shop needs 5 waiters and women, and the rest are for the hot pot shop.

Zhang Yunyue asked them to come to work on the tenth day of August, two days in advance. Zhang Yunyue wanted to train them and clean the shop inside and out.

Zhang Yunyue's paintings have also been finished. When the shop is cleaned, all the paintings can be pasted on the wall as decoration.

Zhang Cheng consulted a fortune teller two days ago to calculate the opening time of the two shops, and he was told that August 12th was an auspicious day.

In addition, Zhang Yunyue found people to provide the vegetables and meat needed by the hot pot shop and the food shop. The food shop agreed to deliver pork, pig's trotters, pig's heads, etc. on the ninth day of the first lunar month.

The dishes and meat of the food store and hotpot shop are delivered around 12:00 a.m. on the opening day, because all the vegetables need to be prepared and washed in advance.

The bowls, chopsticks and plates needed for the hot pot shop and the food shop have also been purchased and placed in the hot pot shop.

The hot pot shop also did not plan to provide alcohol to customers. Zhang Yunyue thought about roasting some wheat and making some barley tea, which would be a perfect match with the hot pot to relieve the greasiness.

Thinking that everything needed for the shop had been prepared, there were only six or seven days left before opening. However, because I had to start work two days in advance, there were still four or five days left.

Zhang Yunyue decided to go home first as he had to transport some things from the workshop back to the county town.

Besides, it has been more than half a month since I left the company, and I miss my family a little bit, so I want to go home before the opening in a few days, otherwise I will probably have to stay in the county town for a while after the opening.

Zhang Yunyue found Zhang Cheng in the yard and said, "Second Uncle, I am going to go home tomorrow. I need to bring some chili peppers and crispy whistles to the county town, and also bring some of the pottery jars at home, otherwise there will be nothing to put them in.

By the way, I have to bring Uncle Wang to town to learn some of the operations from A Niang. I will be back in two or three days."

"Okay, then you go back with Xiaoyun and Wang Min. I'll stay in the county and watch the progress of the renovation."

"All right."

After discussing with Zhang Cheng, Zhang Yunyue called Zhang Xingyun and Wang Min and told them about going home early the next morning.

Apart from the silver hairpin and hair ornament I bought at the snack street, there was nothing else I could take home.

So Zhang Yunyue called Aunt Fang and Aunt Zhao and asked them to bake more snacks in the afternoon and take them home to eat.

The next day.

The three of them each packed a small bag and carried it with them. Aunt Fang also wrapped the small bread and cakes that she had baked yesterday afternoon into seven large bags with greaseproof paper.

Zhang Xingyun harnessed the carriage, Zhang Yunyue sat in the carriage, and he and Wang Min sat in the front of the carriage, and they prepared to set off for the town first.

An hour and a half later, the carriage arrived in the town, and Zhang Xingyun drove it directly to the back door of the food store.

“Bang, bang, bang”

"Who is it?"

"I'm Xiaoyun."

When the person inside the door heard Zhang Xingyun's voice, he immediately opened the door.

"Hey, Xiaoyun and Yueyue, I haven't seen you for a long time. Come in quickly." Zhang Yu said.

"sister in law."

After Zhang Yunyue and Wang Min entered the backyard, Zhang Xingyun led the horse in.

Zhang Yunyue put down her bag and walked into the kitchen carefully. At this time, Zhang's mother was preparing seasonings for the guests in the kitchen.

Zhang Yunyue suddenly shouted, "Mother."

Mother Zhang cried out "Ouch!", turned around and saw Zhang Yunyue, her face instantly brightened up: "Yueyue, you're back."

"Yeah, my brother and I are back. Mom, I'm going to say hello to Dad first."

"Go ahead. Your father misses you and your brother too."

After Zhang's mother finished speaking, Zhang Yunyue left the kitchen and went to the shop in the front yard.

Father Zhang was delighted when he saw Zhang Yunyue coming out of the backyard: "Yueyue, you're back. Why did you come out from the back door? Is Xiaoyun back?"

"Father, my elder brother and I came back together. We just drove the carriage directly in through the back door."

"I see. Look, Dad. Fortunately, I haven't lost weight during this period."

"Fortunately, I can actually eat a lot of delicious food every day in the county during this period, hehe."

"That's good. Your second uncle hasn't come back yet?"

"My second uncle hasn't come back yet. He's still in the county town supervising the construction. It'll take another day or two to finish renovating the two shops. This time he's back, he's mainly selling chili oil and crispy whistles."

"Oh, by the way, Father, I brought back the chef from the county town's food store. I'll let him stay with Mother in town for the next two days. I've taught him most of what he's learned in the county town.

There are still some small things I need to learn from my mother, and I will take him with me when I return to the county town in two days."

"Okay, that's okay, just tell your mother again. By the way, you must be hungry after coming back from the county town, go back and ask your mother to cook you a bowl of noodles."

"Oh, Dad, the mention of eating noodles makes my mouth water. I want to eat noodles from the food store when I'm in the county town."

"Then go quickly."

"Okay, then, Dad, I'll go first. I guess I'll have to go back to the village after I finish eating the noodles."

Zhang Yunyue said goodbye to her father first, so that he wouldn't be too busy to say goodbye.

After saying that, Zhang Yunyue went to the backyard, where Zhang's mother and Zhang Yu came out with three bowls of noodles and placed them on the table in the yard.

"Yueyue, come and eat noodles."

Zhang Yunyue looked at Zhang's mother waving at her and said with a smile, "Okay, mother, the noodles you make are still the best."

"Oh, mother, let me introduce you to this chef from the Four Seasons Restaurant in the county town. His name is Wang Min. He has been learning from you for the past two days and he knows how to cook most of the dishes.

I just need you to teach me how to make the seasonings. When we return to the county town in two days, my brother and I will pick him up."

"Okay, that's fine. Just let him study here for the next two days. There's a room for him to stay in. Come eat the noodles. It will be ready soon."

"it is good."

The three of them picked up the bowls in front of them and mixed the seasonings evenly.

Wang Min tasted the noodles in the food shop and said: "Girl, I finally understand why I opened a noodle shop in the county. The noodles in this food shop taste much better than those in other noodle shops, and the variety is also rich.

And I just listened to the names the waiter called out, and almost all of them were things I had never heard of before. This kind of pasta will definitely be popular in the county town.

This food store is doing so well in town, so if we open another one in the county, the business will surely be even better.”

"Okay, I'll take your good words. You can stay here for the next two days and learn from my mother. I'll come and pick you up and take you back to the county town in two days."

"Don't worry, girl. I will study hard in the next two days. I will never let the reputation of the food store fall on me."
