A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 140 The relationship is better than ever

Zhang Yunyue nodded: "Yes, you guys go in, the food should be ready by now, I'm leaving too."

Zhang Yunyue walked into her yard holding clothes.

Grandma Zhang saw Zhang Yunyue coming in with a bundle and asked, "Yueyue, what are you holding?"

"Grandma, this is the dress that Xiaoxiao's mother, Aunt Xiang, made for me." Then Zhang Yunyue opened the bundle: "Grandma, look, Aunt Xiang's craftsmanship is really good, and the orchids embroidered on it are also beautiful."

"Oh, Xiaoxiao's mother has such great craftsmanship. It's true, after all, she often gets embroidery work from the cloth shop in town. Yueyue, why would Xiaoxiao's mother make clothes for you?" Grandma Zhang asked puzzledly.

The other people in the yard were also very curious and looked at Zhang Yunyue in confusion.

Zhang Yunyue said: "Grandma, you all know that Xiaohua, Xiaohe, Xiaoxiao and I provide embroidery patterns to Jinxiufang together, and we can get a lot of commission every month.

So Xiaoxiao's mother thanked me, but she couldn't think of anything to thank me for. It just so happened that she was good at embroidery, so Aunt Xiang made me a dress. "

Grandma Zhang suddenly realized, and then thought of something else: "This matter, now that you mention it, I remember it, Yueyue, Xiaohua's mother brought a chicken here some time ago, and your second uncle came back that day to make chili peppers and crispy whistles.

Your aunt Mu thought you had come back too, so she asked Dashan to hurriedly bring a chicken over, saying that it was to thank you and that it was to give you some tonic, which you had not wanted in advance.

But Dashan insisted on carrying the chicken to the backyard and putting it together with the chickens at home. Before we could pull it out, Dashan ran away in a hurry, so we didn't force him to go back.

After all, if we don’t accept them, your Aunt Mu and Uncle Dashan will always feel like they owe you something, so they keep them in the backyard and wait for you to come back and kill them to eat, to replenish your body.”

Zhang Yunyue nodded. This is how rural people are. When they receive kindness from others, they always want to give back. They would never intentionally take advantage of others.

At the beginning, I took Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohe and Zhao Xiaoxiao to embroider patterns together. On the one hand, they were the best friends in the village, and their families were also very harmonious and peaceful. The people in their family were not ungrateful.

"Okay, then how about we eat it in two days on Grandpa's birthday? Then we can make chicken soup and nourish the whole family."

"Yueyue, your second aunt's dishes are almost ready. Take the clothes that your aunt Xiang made for you and put them away in the house first."

"Okay, I understand, grandma." After saying that, Zhang Yunyue folded the stretched clothes, took them into the house and placed them in the box at the end of the bed.

The next day.

"Brother, Brother, Sister, Xiaoxue, I'm back."

As soon as the sound reached the yard, Zhang Xingfeng's figure ran into the yard.

"Third brother, you're back!" Zhang Yunxue ran to Zhang Xingfeng and said.

"Xiaoxue, did you miss me?"

"Well, I thought about it, Third Brother."

"Grandma, Second Uncle, Second Aunt."

Grandma Zhang: "Oh, I haven't seen Xiaofeng for a while. He looks more and more like a scholar."

Zhu: "Yes, I used to feel like I was jumping around all the time when I was at home. But after I started studying, I suddenly felt much more stable. Just standing there without saying a word, I looked like a real scholar."

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly became shy after being praised by Grandma Zhang and Mrs. Zhu.

Grandma Zhang continued, "However, when I got home to call people just now, Xiao Feng didn't change at all, hahahahaha."

When everyone heard what Grandma Zhang said, they all laughed out loud.

As he was laughing, Zhang's mother and father came into the yard one after another carrying things.

"Mother, we are back."

Grandma Zhang saw the two people carrying a lot of things in their hands and said, "Wow, why did you bring back so many things?"

Seeing this, Zhu and Zhang Cheng hurriedly stood up and took the things from Zhang's mother and father.

"Tomorrow is Daddy's birthday, and although it's a family dinner, the situation at home is much better than before, so my husband and I thought about buying more food for Daddy so that everyone can have a good meal tomorrow.

These are some fruits and dried fruits I bought. Today, I also met a butcher who was slaughtering cattle. His father and I bought two beef shanks and a few pounds of beef, as well as some vegetables that we don’t have in our garden at home.”

Zhang Yunyue: "Mother, you bought some beef shank. I'll braise it tonight and we can eat braised beef shank tomorrow. This meat is delicious."

"That's what I was thinking when I bought the beef shank just now. This beef shank will definitely taste good when braised."

"I'll soak it first to get the blood out of the beef shank."

After saying that, Zhang Yunyue carried it into the kitchen, then found a basin and added water to soak it.

Zhu placed all the food brought back by Zhang's mother and others in the lobby.

Father Zhang: "Wait, I bought some bowls and plates outside the door, so we don't have to borrow bowls and plates tomorrow. Anyway, we can use them in the future, so Yueyue's mother and I bought some more. Second brother, you and I go outside and move them all in."

"That makes sense. We're not short of money at home, so we can prepare more dishes and bowls so that we don't have to borrow them every time we run out of them. Come on, brother. I'll move in with you."

Because they knew that Zhang's father and his family would be back today, Zhu and Zhang Yunyue prepared the meal early and started eating as soon as they arrived.

After putting away the things that Zhang's father and others brought back, they began to serve the dishes.

After meal.

Zhu and Zhang Yunyue were busy in the kitchen preparing some dishes for tomorrow, and they were discussing what they would eat tomorrow while eating just now.

It just so happened that Grandma Zhang said that the pickled meat she made before was delicious and also suitable for people with bad teeth.

So at this moment Zhang Yunyue was preparing to fry some rice and glutinous rice in the kitchen to make pickled meat powder. After the pork from the workshop was delivered tomorrow, she could take some back and steam the pickled meat.

After frying the rice and glutinous rice, they were packed up and given to Zhang's father, who ground them into flour using a stone mill.

Then Zhang Yunyue continued to make braised beef tendon in the kitchen. After it was ready, she turned off the fire and let it soak directly in the pot.

The next day.

Everyone in Lao Zhang's family got up early because they had to prepare a lot of food today.

The main reason is that today, except for the great grandfather and the second grandfather's families who want to celebrate Grandpa Zhang's birthday together, neither family went to sell mung bean jelly today.

Zhang's mother's family and Zhu's father and brothers are also coming. They had a good relationship before, and after doing business with the workshop for a few months, their relationship is even better than before.

Normally, when the relatives from both sides come to deliver goods, they always bring some home food over for the Zhang family to try as well.

Sometimes when I go to other villages to pick peppers, if I see some better dried goods, I will pick them as well, and then send some to Lao Zhang's house for them to try. Sometimes, if there are fruits that are ripe in the mountains, I will also bring some with me when I come.

When Grandpa Zhang saw this, he would also give some chili oil and crispy fried dough sticks from the workshop to his two relatives to take back and eat.

So when the relatives on both sides learned that today was Grandpa Zhang’s birthday, they all said they would come together to join in the fun.
