A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 119 Tell me what you did before

Zhao Yaren sat in front of Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun.

"I heard from Chen Yaren just now that you want to buy servants with cooking skills?"

"Yes, I don't know if there is one, or someone who is good at cooking will do, as long as they are good at cooking."

"There is no one in the pawnshop at the moment. If you and your wife need one, I will look for one here in the next few days and then go to the pawnshop in our city to see if there is such a person."

"Okay, if there is a letter by then, you can ask Mr. Zhao from your dental shop to bring the letter to us. We just bought two shops on West Street and East Street from him two days ago. My last name is Zhang, and I live in the shop on East Street now."

"Okay, I'll give you news about the young master within four days at the latest."

"Okay, that's troublesome. We'll leave first and wait for good news."

"Okay, I'll take you two out."

After saying that, several people stood up, and Zhao Ya Ren saw Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun off from the pharmacy.

"Brother, let's go to the bookstore and buy some rice paper. I'm going to paint a few pictures."

Zhang Xingyun knew that his sister could paint. He found out about this after he went to Jinxiu Tower last time.

Nodded: "Let's go, there's nothing to do right now anyway."

The two of them went to the bookstore they had visited the day before. The paper they bought that day was not suitable for painting. The quality of the paper could only be used for writing.

Arriving at the bookstore, he said, "Boss, I want some rice paper for painting, and some paint."

"Okay, wait a moment, young lady. I'll pack the rice paper and paint for you."

"Thank you."

The bookstore owner handed the wrapped rice paper and paint to Zhang Yunyue: "Miss, the rice paper and paint are all wrapped, a total of 3 taels of silver."

"Okay." After saying that, Zhang Yunyue took out three taels of silver from her purse and handed it to the bookstore owner. Then she took the rice paper and paint from the bookstore owner.

"Let's go, big brother. We've already bought the rice paper. Let's go buy some vegetables and go back. It's time to make lunch."

"Uh-huh."

Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun bought some vegetables at the vegetable market before returning to Dongda's shop.

After lunch, Zhang Yunyue went to her room, spread the rice paper she bought in the morning on the table, and prepared to paint.

Zhang Yunyue plans to make some paintings like those in some modern hot pot restaurants, with some cute pets, some lovely emoticons, and some encouraging paintings.

When passers-by see the paintings pasted on the wall, they will definitely feel novel and it will definitely attract passers-by.

So I started painting.

For three consecutive days, Zhang Yunyue was painting in the room. He had finished more than ten or twenty paintings, as well as some inspiring poems.

That afternoon, Zhang Yunyue was still painting in the house.

"Boom, bang, bang."

Zhang Xingyun shouted from outside the door: "Yueyue, open the door."

Zhang Yunyue put down the pen in her hand,

He walked to the door and opened it: "Brother, what's the matter?"

"We went to the dental clinic to buy people before. Today, Zhao Ya Ren wrote to us and said that a group of new people will be coming back from their dental clinic tomorrow, and asked us to go and take a look."

"Okay, let's go tomorrow. This matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible."

The next day.

Because Zhao Ya Ren did not say when he would arrive yesterday, Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun decided to go to Ya Hang at 3 p.m.

Arrived at the dental clinic.

Chen Yaren, who was guarding the door, saw Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun and talked to them enthusiastically.

"Young Master, Young Lady, you are here. The Zhao Ya people asked us to guard here early in the morning to see when you two would come. I thought you would come in the morning. Please come in quickly."

"I was delayed this morning by something, so I came just now. I wonder where Zhao Ya is?"

"You two take a seat first. I will go and call Zhao Yaren over."

Zhao Yaren: "Young Master, Young Lady, you are here."

Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun nodded to Zhao Yaren.

"Okay, let's go to the backyard. Everyone is staying in the backyard."

"Okay, please lead the way, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Yaren raised his hand as a gesture of invitation, and Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun followed him.

Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun followed Zhao Yaren to a house in the backyard.

"Please wait here for a moment. I will ask someone to bring everyone up."

Zhao Ya called a man standing nearby and said, "Bring everyone into the house."

The person next to him nodded, went to another room to bring the person out, and then brought him into the room where Zhang Yunyue and the others were staying.

Zhang Yunyue looked at the people who came in one after another. There were about thirty or forty people. Most of them were pale and thin, and there were also some children.

These people all lowered their heads with dull eyes. Zhang Yunyue felt that except for the children, no one else seemed to have lost hope in life.

Originally, Zhang Yunyue had already prepared herself mentally, thinking that nothing would happen, but when she saw these people standing here, she still felt a little guilty.

When Zhao Yaren saw that everyone had arrived, he said, "Sir, Miss, everyone is here. You can see if there is anyone suitable."

Zhang Yunyue stood up and said, "Have you ever been a chef, or do you think you are a good cook? If so, you can take a step forward."

As soon as Zhang Yunyue finished speaking, four men and two women came out.

"Put your hands out." Although the few people did not understand what Zhang Yunyue meant, they still stretched out their hands as she asked.

Zhang Yunyue walked forward and checked their palms and fingernails to see if there was any dirt.

Only one of the four men had dirty nails.

Zhang Yunyue asked the man with dirty nails to go back first.

After reading it, Zhang Yunyue asked again: "Can you all tell me what you did before?"

Several people looked at each other, and the man on the left came out first:

"I used to work as a chef in the kitchen of a wealthy family. The owner of the house was poisoned to death by someone who was bribed by the other family. Although the bribed person was caught later, all of us chefs were sold out."

Having said that, he stepped back.

The man next to him also stood up and said, "I used to work in the restaurant kitchen. Although I wasn't a formal chef, sometimes when the restaurant was busy I would help cook. But I didn't expect to attract the attention of the chef, so he falsely accused me of stealing things from the restaurant, and then I was sold out by the owner."

The last man stood up and said, "I used to own a restaurant. My wife and I were the chefs. It rained heavily in my hometown for more than a month, and there were starving people everywhere. Fortunately, my wife, children and I were sweeping graves in the mountains at the time, so we all escaped.

But all my family members are gone, I am penniless, I have no choice but to sell myself to survive. Girl, sir, if you want to buy, can you also buy my wife and my two children?

Otherwise, I can’t go alone and leave these three orphans and their widowed mother behind.”

As he finished speaking, the man knelt on the ground, and a woman standing next to him also knelt down, and two children, a boy and a girl standing behind him, also knelt down.
