Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 173

At the Yu family's house, the two young men that Zhong Ruyi had just seen were kneeling at the door, and inside, several maids were carrying water in and out, making a lot of noise.

Zhou Yuyan's eyes were slightly red. She held the little boy's hand on the bed with one hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief with the other hand. There were several people standing behind her.

"Yuyan, you should go and have a rest. You still have two babies in your belly. Let your mother take care of this." A slightly plump woman behind her spoke, with obvious worry on her face.

The person lying on the bed was her eldest grandson, and her daughter-in-law was pregnant with her two unborn grandchildren. She would feel heartbroken if either of them was hurt.

Zhou Yuyan reached out and touched her son's forehead again, and only felt relieved after confirming that it was not as hot as it was at the beginning.

It was already late, and she looked tired. "Mom, I'll leave He'er to you."

Seeing her standing up with her big belly, a young man standing behind her quickly reached out to support her, "Let's go, Yuyan, I'll take you back to rest. He'er, you have your mother and doctor here, it's okay."

When passing by the two kneeling servants, Zhou Yuyan suddenly remembered something and asked them, "You said that a passing girl saved the young master?"

The two servants nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Madam, we were so anxious at the time that we kept trying to help the young master get the candy beans out. It was only after this girl held the young master and shook him for a long time that the young master finally spit out the stuck candy beans."

Zhou Yuyan nodded and said, "Go back and have a rest. Be more careful next time you take the young master out."

"Yes, yes! Thank you, ma'am. We will definitely take better care of the young master in the future!" The two servants kowtowed several times and said.

Yu Huaijin looked at the tiredness on his wife's face with heartache, "Wait until this naughty boy gets better, and then I'll show you how I'll deal with him!"

Zhou Yuyan couldn't help but laugh when she saw her husband was obviously worried but deliberately said such words to divert her attention. "If you break it, you might be so distressed that you won't be able to sleep at night."

She sighed, "This time it was really the girl passing by who saved He'er, otherwise he would not have just had a fever like tonight and then passed away." She didn't say anything more terrifying.

She had seen this many times in Yangliu Village before, where children choked on some random food and couldn't speak.

He died before he could be sent to the doctor. What a terrible thing it was. She didn't dare to imagine that one day He'er would experience the same thing.

Fortunately, a noble person came to help and saved He'er's life.

The two talked as they walked. Yu Huaijin put his arm around his wife's waist and slowly helped her back to the room.

Before going to bed, Zhou Yuyan suddenly remembered, "Ah Jin, remember to ask someone to find out who the girl who saved He'er today is and where she lives tomorrow. We need to go to her house to thank her."

Yu Huaijin patted his wife's back and said softly, "I know, go to sleep."

Zhong Ruyi didn't know that someone would come to thank her. She went back with paper and pens that cost more than one or two taels of silver. When she told her mother the price, both mother and daughter were worried about the money they would need to spend on their two children's future education.

"Never mind all that. Your brother and sister-in-law will always find a way to support you. If you don't have money, then don't send your children to school. At least you won't starve to death!" Mother Zhong was very open-minded. She didn't expect her children to have great success. It was good enough if they could study and know etiquette.

Zhong Ruyi nodded and did not tell her mother that she had just rescued a child on the street. She herself did not take it to heart.

Remembering that she had planned to buy some pork to make pork jerky and meat floss after going to the bookstore, she patted her head and realized that she had been so busy that she had forgotten about it.

"Mom, I'll go buy some pork." She put down the paper and pen in her hand and walked out.

Mother Zhong saw her come back in a hurry and leave in a hurry again.

Zhong Ruyi went to the pork shop where she usually bought offal. The owner was sitting on a recliner with his legs crossed and his eyes closed, sleeping.

"Boss, do you have tenderloin?"

The owner of the pork shop heard the voice and quickly got up to do business. When he saw her, he smiled and squinted his eyes, "Ms. Zhong? How come you have time to buy meat today?"

As he spoke, his men kept moving and cut out a piece of tenderloin. "Is this enough?"

Zhong Ruyi smiled and said, "That's enough. Give me another five kilograms of lean meat."

Make some meat floss and a few pounds of pork jerky. Five pounds of pork sounds like a lot, but in fact the meat will shrink after it is made. However, if it is successful, you can continue making it next time.

After taking the meat handed over by the pork shop owner, Zhong Ruyi smiled, thanked him and prepared to go back.

The boss suddenly called her over and said a little embarrassedly, "Ms. Zhong, I have something I want to ask you for a favor. Is that okay?"

Zhong Ruyi saw him rubbing his hands together with a look of embarrassment. She also didn't expect that the owner of the pork shop would still ask for her help. "Brother Zhu, please tell me what you want. I will help you in any way I can."

"Oh, it's like this. Didn't you send me two pork elbows on the day you closed before the New Year? My wife has been thinking about it since she ate it once. So, I'd like to ask Miss Zhong if you can braise a few pork elbows for me. If not, it's okay. I can ask the waiter to buy braised food."

It turned out to be because of this matter. Before the New Year, in order to thank the pork shop owner for his care over the past six months, Zhong Ruyi specially bought two pork elbows and braised them and asked her second brother to deliver them to her. Unexpectedly, the pork shop owner's wife would still be thinking about it.

"It's a small matter. Why don't you give me the pork elbow now? I'm going back to cook, so I'll make it for you. You can just ask someone to get it in the evening!" She agreed immediately. If his wife wanted to eat it, the pork shop owner would think of making it for her. This was pretty good.

The pork shop owner was overjoyed, "Okay, okay, then, I'll trouble you, Miss Zhong!"

He went into the store and took out two pork elbows that had been slaughtered that morning but had not yet been sold, as well as two pork ribs. "Here are the two pork elbows. I'll give you the pork ribs!"

She took the pork elbow and ribs and said with a smile, "Thanks to my sister-in-law, I am also blessed with this. I will go back first. Brother Zhu, you can ask someone to come and get it in the evening!"

"Okay, okay! Thank you!" Boss Zhu nodded repeatedly and watched Zhong Ruyi leave. He felt very happy. His wife had wanted to try this braised pork elbow for so long, so this could be considered a surprise for her.

Zhong Ruyi returned home carrying several pounds of meat and pork elbows and ribs. When Zhong's mother saw how much meat she had bought, she was surprised. "So much? How heavy is it? I should have asked your second brother to buy it in the morning, so that you wouldn't have to carry such heavy meat for such a long distance."

Zhong Ruyi poured a cup of tea and drank it all, saying, "Not all of them were bought by me. Boss Zhu asked me to help make two pork elbows, and he gave me two spare ribs as a gift."

She pulled Mother Zhong aside and whispered, "Mom, I'm going to go into the space to make something delicious. If anyone asks, just say I went to bed."

"Okay, go ahead. Mom is here."

Jiang Rong and Jiang Yun were still making clothes, using the sixteen feet of cloth that Zhong Ruyi had bought for each of them, and they were working very hard.

Zhong Ruyi took a look when she passed by. Even the ten-year-old Jiang Yun's stitches were better than hers. She felt a little inferior.
