Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 227

This time when Zhong Ruyi returned to the village, she only brought Jiang Rong and Jiang Yun back. The restaurant was open for business as usual, and Sun Tao and the others couldn't leave at all. Now the restaurant's business is much better than before, and the turnover is also higher.

Except for the newly recruited Wei and Xie Hai, Sun Tao, Jiang Qin and others did not receive any salary. Zhong Ruyi told them this at the beginning.

Sun Tao waved his hands after hearing this, "You spent so much money to buy us back, how can you justify paying us for doing some work?"

However, although they could not get the same salary as Wei and Xie Hai, Zhong Ruyi would still give them 200 coins each every month so that they could buy whatever they wanted.

Zhong Ruyi had just brought Jiang Rong and her sister back to town, and within two days they ran into Chen Dongzhi and his third brother at the entrance of the escort agency, where they were about to go out to escort the goods again.

"Where are we going this time? Is it far?" Zhong Ruyi asked.

Chen Dongzhi glanced at Zhong Laosan, and Zhong Laosan walked away tactfully.

The two went to the yard to talk.

"I still have to go to Nanzhou this time to help Master Yu send out a batch of silk, and I have to bring back a batch of seafood when I come back."

Zhong Ruyi nodded and went to her room to find a hat.

She specially added a veil to this hat and sewed it. It is very similar to the hat she wore when she went to collect honey, but the veil is shorter.

"Take this. With the veil, you won't be afraid of getting tanned. At least you won't get sunburned. Drink more water when you go out, pay attention to safety, don't argue with others, and take care of yourself first."

Chen Dongzhi took the hat and opened his mouth slightly. He prepared himself for a long time before mustering up the courage to say what he wanted to say. "When I come back this time, let's get engaged, okay?"

Originally, he had not thought of bringing up this matter so early, mainly because during the days when Zhong Ruyi returned to the village, she told the people from the Fang family who were transporting watermelons that they had to go to the village to transport them during the next few days. She was not there and the convenience store was not open either.

At that time, there were more than a few workers who went to the Fang family to transport goods, and the second young master of the Fang family was also following them.

This man is a careless person and he always unconsciously puts his arm on Zhong Ruyi's shoulder when he speaks.

Chen Dongzhi saw it twice. He pursed his lips and was obviously unhappy.

Zhong Ruyi comforted him at the time, saying that the second young master of the Fang family was a brainless person.

Behind him, the second young master Fang also put his arm around Li Guihua's shoulder. Even after being scolded by the eldest brother, he was still smiling.

But later on, he stopped putting his arm around the two of them. Zhong Ruyi could see that he had no bad intentions, he just didn't take the distinction between men and women seriously. But he would still change if someone told him about it.

She wondered if this incident had stimulated Chen Dongzhi, so he was thinking about getting engaged.

After thinking for a moment, she nodded and said solemnly, "Okay, we'll get engaged when you come back."

After Chen Dongzhi left in a hurry, Zhong Ruyi went to the braised food shop.

Mother Zhong was chatting with Aunt Chen. When she saw her daughter coming, she stood up and said, "How many days have you not been here? I see you have lost a lot of weight. Don't do it by yourself. Haven't you hired someone?"

She smiled and took Zhong's mother's arm, "I haven't lost weight at all! I've been eating a lot recently."

Aunt Chen bit off the thread in her hand and glanced at her. "Ruyi, I see you are smiling like that. Did you pick up some money while walking?"

Zhong Ruyi just smiled but didn't say anything. At this moment, a customer came to the tea shop next door. Aunt Chen dropped the clothes at hand and went next door.

After everyone left, Zhong Ruyi looked at her mother with a serious face and told her directly about the engagement.

Mrs. Zhong stopped moving, and her eyes seemed to stop moving. After a long while, she managed to utter, "Have you thought about it?"

She nodded solemnly, "I have already agreed with him that when he comes back this time, his mother will come to propose marriage and settle the matter between him and me."

Zhong Laoer, who came back with two bundles of firewood at the door, was also stunned. He quickly put the firewood in the kitchen and came back, "Isn't it too fast? You are still a child!"

Zhong Ruyi gave his second brother a speechless look, "After the Chinese New Year, eighteen years old is no longer a child. Have you ever seen a child who opened two stores, second brother?"

Zhong Lao Er laughed awkwardly, trying to divert the embarrassment, "Then, then in my brother's heart you have always been a child."

At this moment, he was indeed a little scared. His sister was going to get married so soon, and he was not mentally prepared at all.

Not to mention him, even Zhong's mother was stunned for a long time before she reacted.

She looked at her daughter with complicated eyes, "If it was someone else's girl, I would think that after being together for so long, it's time to settle down, but now that this person is you, I can't bear to let go."

Zhong Ruyi looked at her and listened to her quietly talking about the past.

"You were so small back then," Mother Zhong gestured, feeling like she was really holding a tiny girl in her arms, "I raised you little by little, and now you've found the person you want to spend your life with. I'm happy for you, but I also feel a little sad."

"Just get married, the two families are close anyway." Mother Zhong sniffed and her voice was a little choked up, "If your Aunt Chen dares to bully you, I will tear her apart!"

Zhong Ruyi hugged Zhong's mother, patted her back twice, and said with a smile, "With you, Dad, and my brothers here, no one dares to bully me, so don't worry, Mom."

The engagement was settled. Although Zhong's mother was reluctant, she knew that this day would come.

Fortunately, the two families live close to each other, so I can visit my daughter often, and maybe even ask her to live back home.

Thinking of this, the reluctance in her heart disappeared.

After getting to know Wei, the new employee of the restaurant, Zhong Ruyi feels that this person does things much better than the two aunts hired before. At least she will listen to what you say. The two aunts before relied on their age and wanted to take advantage of her youth. They even said bad things about Sun Tao in front of her. The two of them teamed up to exclude Sun Tao.

He went straight to serve the dishes without washing his hands after using the toilet. After she told him off, he agreed on the surface, but did the same thing the second time.

Zhong Ruyi only gave the two people one chance, and told them not to come after the second time. However, they were still not convinced and made trouble at the door, asking passers-by to judge the matter.

She didn't give the two men any face and directly asked the passerby if they would like to eat the food served by someone who had just wiped his butt but had not washed his hands.

Passersby were originally speaking up for the two of them, thinking that she was too strict. Wasn't it just one or two times of not washing their hands?

But after hearing what Zhong Ruyi said, his face turned pale and blue, and he glared at the two guilty people.

The two were not convinced and wanted to talk further.

"Didn't I tell you that I can change? How can you be so ruthless?"

Zhong Ruyi sneered, "Do you want me to say more? On the first day you two came here, you took half of the remaining half basin of rabbit meat from the kitchen back home, with oil dripping all over the place. I didn't want to say anything more and just let you go as it was your first offense. But on the third day, you still touched the counter and tried to pry open the drawer of the counter with a stick?"

Passersby who were watching the show exclaimed, "This isn't just stealing meat, this is stealing money! They should be sent to jail!"

"I really didn't expect that these two people who looked so kind and kind could actually do such a thing."

In the end, the two of them ran away in shame after being attacked by passers-by.
