Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 199

When it was less busy, Zhong Ruyi remembered that there was a Yu Yunhe in the store.

She looked around but didn't see anyone. Cuicui and the two servants were not there.

There were hawking sounds at the door, she went out to take a look and was immediately upset.

The little girl who was scolded by Aunt Chen in the morning was squatting at the door selling some straw sandals, straw hats and some bamboo baskets.

Cuicui and Yu Yunhe squatted on each side, helping the little girl to sell her goods. Both of them had flushed faces and looked quite excited.

"Will anyone buy it if you call it that?"

The little girl nodded and shook her head, her voice a little weak, "I don't know either."

The two servants looked unhappy and tried to comfort Yu Yunhe in a low voice, "Master, didn't you say you were here to see Miss Zhong? Why are you squatting at the door helping people sell things? If the Madam finds out, we'll be in trouble!"

Look at their young master, his face is sunburned. One of them holds an umbrella and the other one fans him, for fear that the little ancestor will get sunburned in the sun.

"What are you doing here?" Zhong Ruyi asked.

When the little girl saw an adult coming out, the expression on her face became a little timid, and she no longer had the cheerfulness she had just shown when she was talking to Cuicui.

Cuicui was very happy, "Aunt! We just helped her sell two straw hats! Aren't we awesome?"

Yu Yunhe also had a look of anticipation on his face, which made people feel soft-hearted.

But it was only two or three o'clock now, and these people were setting up stalls here under the scorching sun to sell things. She couldn't quite praise them, and could only perfunctorily say "great, great".

"Don't be so excited. The sun is so strong. Come with me inside to cool off. What if you get a heat stroke?"

They went in and the little girl was still squatting at the door, selling straw hats but she didn't even think of picking one up to wear to block the sun.

Zhong Ruyi felt bad for what she saw, "Little sister, come in too. It's too hot outside. Wait until later when it's not so hot and then come out to pose."

The little girl shook her head and whispered, "Thank you, sister. I won't go in. I will go home after selling these."

Okay, but it was indeed too hot, so Zhong Ruyi went back in and poured her a cup of tea.

The little girl said thank you sweetly, took the water given by Zhong Ruyi and drank it all in one gulp. It was obvious that she was very thirsty.

"Do you want more?" Zhong Ruyi asked her.

She shook her head, "No thanks, sis."

So good.

Zhong Ruyi went back and poured her a glass of water. She should drink more water in such hot weather, otherwise she would get heatstroke.

Cuicui and Yu Yunhe were talking in the store. Seeing Zhong Ruyi pour two glasses of water for the girl at the door but refused to come in, she stood up and went to see her.

"Why don't you come in? It's so hot outside." Yu Yunhe looked at her in confusion.

The little girl shook her head, stopped talking, and focused on the straw sandals and hat in front of her.

"Yunhe, come here. I have something to ask you."

Zhong Ruyi waved at him, and Yu Yunhe skipped over and snuggled up to her.

Originally, he and Cuicui had played together for half a day and had a good relationship.

Unexpectedly, when Cuicui saw his action, she felt a little unhappy and leaned on Zhong Ruyi.

Zhong Ruyi was leaning against two small stoves, feeling warm and happy.

She reached out and touched Yu Yunhe's head. "You came out in such a hot day. Won't your family scold you?"

How long has this been out?

It will take two hours.

Yu Yunhe smiled and said, "I finished the homework that the teacher assigned me yesterday, so I begged my mother to let me come out and play today."

"Are you hungry? I'll make you some fried rice."

"it is good!"

Zhong Ruyi went into the kitchen and fried some egg fried rice. It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon and fewer people came to eat.

Sun Tao, Jiang Rong and Jiang Yun were finally able to rest for a while. When Sun Tao saw her come in, he wanted to stand up and help.

Zhong Ruyi waved her hand, "No need, you guys go out and have a rest. If we're not busy today, we can close the store early."

She also asked a few people if they had eaten when they had some free time. If they hadn't, she would cook for them.

Several people said they had eaten, so she only fried half a pot of fried rice. Cuicui, Yu Yunhe and the two servants all wanted to eat.

She wondered if the little girl at the door was full, so she served her a bowl as well.

It was just a simple dish of fried rice with egg, which she served skillfully and brought out a bowl for each person.

Cuicui and Yu Yunhe took it obediently, but the two servants didn't dare to take it and just said they were not hungry yet.

Zhong Ruyi's face turned stern. "You have to serve the young master. What if you faint from hunger later? You'd better eat something to fill your stomach."

Since it was related to the young master, the two servants couldn't refuse. After thanking them, they took the food, stood in the corner and started eating.

She took another bowl of fried rice out to the little girl, but it was obvious that the little girl didn't expect she would have another meal, and she put her hands behind her back and didn't dare to take it.

At this time, Yu Yunhe came out with the bowl in his little hands, eating and watching, "Everyone is eating, why aren't you eating? Aren't you hungry?"

The little girl pursed her lips and swallowed, but still didn't dare to take it.

Zhong Ruyi passed it to her again and said, "Eat it. It's free."

"...Thank you, sister." The little girl finally reached out to take it, and rubbed her hand against her body before she dared to take it.

"You're welcome. Come in and sit inside to eat. It's too hot outside. It would be bad if you get sunburned."

She shook her head, holding the bowl, and ran away without even caring about the straw hat and sandals on the ground.

"Hey, where are you going?" Zhong Ruyi didn't stop her.

But let it go, a bowl is not worth much.

Cuicui stuck her head out and asked, "Aunt, where is Xiaoyu?"

"I don't know either. I just took the bowl and ran away."

Zhong Ruyi saw that they were eating happily and went to the kitchen to add half a bowl for each of them. "Eat more and you will grow taller. After you are full, go to sleep."

Yu Yunhe held the bowl and his face was filled with the delicious smell of the food.

The two servants were almost crying with joy. This little ancestor needed people to chase him and feed him every time he ate in the mansion, and he wouldn't touch anything he didn't like.

I ate more after coming to this restaurant. Normally, I would not eat more than half a bowl, but today I could eat one and a half bowls. Isn’t that a happy thing?

Xiaoyu hurried back home with the bowl. Her home was in a small alley on Fu'an Street. When she pushed open the door and went in, the house was quiet and the air was filled with the smell of medicine.

This is a small courtyard where two families live.

There is a main room in the middle, and rooms on both sides. There is no kitchen, so a stove was built in the yard. Water is boiled and cooking is done on this stove in the yard.

She excitedly pushed open the door on the left and said, "Grandma, look at what this is?"

An old woman was lying on the bed with a pale face. She slowly opened her eyes after hearing the sound.

Xiaoyu brought the fried rice to the old woman, put it on the small stool beside the bed, then reached out and carefully helped the old woman up.

"Grandma, this is something a sister gave me. I ate a bowl of it in her shop. It was fried with lard and it was delicious! There was also an egg in it. Grandma, please try it."

She supported the old woman, picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it to the old woman's mouth.

The old woman refused to open her mouth and only asked, "Have you eaten? If not, eat first."

Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, "Grandma, I brought it back after I finished eating, so you can eat it without worry."

After hearing what she said, the old woman finally agreed to eat, but after only two bites she said she was full. "Save the rest and add some water to cook it for you and your father in the evening."

"No! Grandma, please eat quickly. Dad and I will have food to eat tonight. Don't worry!" Xiaoyu was anxious and even wanted to reach out and pry open Grandma's mouth and stuff rice into it.

The old woman was very persistent and insisted on saving the bowl of rice for the father and daughter to eat in the evening.

Xiaoyu had no choice but to find a clean bowl to pour the rice into, then wash the bowl and return it.
