Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 204

Zhong Ruyi raised her hand to brush away the spider webs that had fallen on her. The store seemed very large despite being empty. She just came to take a look at the layout and had not yet decided what to do.

She can only think about what to do when she has some free time. She can't just leave it alone. Mrs. Yu has already given her the store, so it will be hers from now on. It would be a waste to just leave such a big store alone.

Go back after you finish watching.

On the way, Zhong Ruyi met the foreign vendor again. Now he no longer sold mirrors at his stall, but other things instead.

She went forward to take a look, and wow! They actually sold dried apricots and prunes?

"Hey bro, you were selling these the last time I came here. Do you change them every few days? You don't have a fixed one?"

The vendor touched his nose and said, "Customer, I sell everything according to the season. I sell whatever is in season."

"Didn't you say last time that you were still selling watermelon seeds and some red and green from the capital? The capital is far away from us, how did you get those things back?"

The vendor glanced at her and refused to say anything.

Zhong Ruyi could only buy some dried apricots. The vendor smiled and said, "I have a brother who ships goods with the dock. He often brings me some foreign goods to sell here. You know what, foreign goods are very popular here."

is not that right?

A pot of chili peppers costs twenty taels of silver, but Aunt Chen still doesn't want to face the fact.

And a few days ago, I bought a palm-sized glass mirror which also cost twenty taels of silver.

"Then will your brother take our stuff out to sell it?"

The vendor smiled innocently and said, "Yes, by exchanging goods like this, you can make a lot of money at the end of the year. But sailing is also risky. Sometimes you can even lose your life when you encounter stormy seas that are unavoidable!"

That's really hard-earned money, it's not easy.

In the restaurant, Sun Tao finished serving the last table of dishes and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Cuicui and Yu Yunhe each held a rabbit and played house.

"Let it go first, and I'll take a look at where it's sick."

"Oh, okay, it just said it couldn't sleep. Just give it some medicine and it will be fine."

When Zhong Ruyi came back, she heard the two children playing the role of doctor and patient. Yu Yunhe's rabbit was the patient, whose hands and feet had been tied and placed on a stool.

Cuicui's rabbit was standing by its feet, with its hands and feet controlled. She placed one hand on another rabbit with its hands and feet tied, pretending to treat it.

"Remember to wash your hands after playing, okay? If you don't wash your hands before eating, you'll get sick."

The two of them were having a lot of fun, and they didn't even raise their heads, just replied "I know".

In the evening, Mrs. Yu came to pick me up.

"I heard that you went to see the store I gave you today?" Mrs. Yu asked.

This was told to her by her subordinates that there were several stores on Anning Street under the name of the Yu family.

She was very confident. If Zhong Ruyi went to see it, she would definitely think that the current store was small and not as good as the one she gave her.

Zhong Ruyi nodded. It was normal for Mrs. Yu to have some spies of her own, after all, she was in charge of such a big business.

"Did you see it? Doesn't it feel quite spacious?" Mrs. Yu could not hide her pride and felt that her store was a good place.

“It’s huge, but I haven’t figured out what business I want to start.”

The space inside is indeed spacious. Although it is dusty and looks like no one has taken care of it for a long time, the walls and floor tiles are still in good condition.

If they wanted to cook food, they could just clean up, put out tables and benches and start business. However, Zhong Ruyi had looked at the flow of people on that street and the surrounding shops, and saw that quite a few people were cooking.

There are three dim sum shops on one street, two of which are almost next to each other. There are also noodle shops and steamed bun shops.

Zhong Ruyi really couldn't think of what she could do with it, but she felt it was a pity to leave such a big store just sitting there.

Mrs. Yu also thought about it. She had been to Anning Street several times and roughly remembered what the shops did. She had rented this shop because she heard that Zhong Ruyi wanted to rent a store to do business, so she found a store under her name that had been vacant for some time and gave it to her.

But I didn't expect that she had rented the current place so quickly, which made it seem that what she gave away was a bit redundant. But fortunately, she still accepted it, and I believe it will be useful in the future.

"Most of the shops on Anning Street sell food. Do you want to sell food or do you want to buy something for daily use?"

Zhong Ruyi couldn't think of what to do, so she could only shake her head and say she was not sure yet.

Just at this moment, Yu Yunhe came out with a piece of dried pork in his hand, his face flushed from playing.

When Mrs. Yu saw her grandson, her heart melted and the smile on her face became full of kindness.

"Did you have fun today?"

"Happy!" Yu Yunhe nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and put the pork jerky in his hand to Mrs. Yu's mouth, "Grandma, please eat it. This is what Sister Cuicui gave me. It's delicious!"

Madam Yu smiled and took a bite, "He'er is so thoughtful!"

But the dried meat in her mouth made her eyes light up. She looked at Zhong Ruyi and said, "Miss Zhong, did you buy this or make it yourself?"

The jerky has a unique taste, slightly spicy, dry, fragrant and chewy, with firm meat.

"I made this myself. Madam Yu, if you like it, I can give you some to take back."

Zhong Ruyi asked, and seeing that she didn't refuse, she asked Jiang Rong to take out a jar and also took out an extra jar of meat floss, which she made in her spare time.

Madam Yu looked reserved. She just raised her chin slightly to let the maid take it and said "thank you".

The maids and servants helped the grandparents and grandchildren into the carriage. Yu Yunhe waved to them, and the carriage rattled away.

It suddenly occurred to her that maybe she could do something with the shop.

Pork jerky, pork floss or other ready-to-eat foods, similar to those in a convenience store.

It seems possible. You don't need too many things. Just fix a few and replace the others with the seasons.

For example, you can fix the two items, pork jerky and pork floss, and then find a few other items to add in and sell regularly.

Anyway, this store was given by Mrs. Yu, so there is no need to rent. It doesn’t matter how much money can be earned in a month. Of course, it would be even better if the profit is considerable.

Let’s see what we can do in the next few days and try to open the store as soon as possible.

The next day, Zhong Ruyi looked around the store and felt that Sun Tao and the others could handle the situation, so she decided to wait for Jiang Qin to return to the village in the evening and go back with him.

I have to go back and see how the watermelons I planted before are growing.

If they grow well, she can take them to the store to sell. Most of the villagers take the seedlings with her to plant at home, and then she can collect them from the villagers, which is also a source of income for the villagers.

When they returned home in the evening, it was already dark. Zhong Ruyi had originally wanted to go to the fields to see how the watermelons and peppers were growing, but now she had to wait until the next day.

Before going to bed, she secretly gave some strawberries and cherries to her second sister-in-law. She felt uncomfortable seeing that she had a big belly and swollen hands and feet.

"She's going to give birth in three months, right?" Zhong Ruyi asked, looking at her belly.

Liu Yu Niang gently stroked her belly and said, "Yes, it will be around three months before we can meet again."

"Are you nervous, sister-in-law?" Zhong Ruyi asked again.

"No, it's not the first time." Liu Yu Niang looked at her helplessly, always feeling that her younger sister was worrying too much.

"That's good." Although she said that, Zhong Ruyi still felt sad and didn't even dare to reach out and touch her second sister-in-law's belly.

In the end, Liu Yu Niang couldn't bear it anymore and directly pulled her hand and put it on her belly.

Zhong Ruyi suddenly screamed, "Ouch! It kicked me!"

Li Guihua, who had just knocked on the door, heard the sound coming from her younger sister's room. She couldn't help laughing and pushed the door open.

"You'll know when the baby is born. This child is quite well behaved. He didn't make any trouble in your second sister-in-law's belly."
