A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 167 The wild horse running wild

"Okay, thank you Cai Ling, please send it to my room. I will check the bill later."

"Yeah, okay, boss."

After saying that, Hu Cailing ran to the kitchen, and Zhang Yunyue moved the account book of the food store from her second uncle's room to her own room.

"Mother, Father, the boss is here today."

"Ah? The boss is here."

"Yes, the boss is going back to his room to check the accounts. I'll bring him some snacks and tea."

Then, while talking, he put the telephone and tea on the tray, left the kitchen and went to Zhang Yunyue's room.

"Bang, bang, bang." Hu Cailing's voice came from outside the door: "Boss, I'm coming in."

"Well, Cailing, come in."

Hu Cailing placed snacks and tea on the table in the room. "Boss, if you need anything, just call me. I'll be in the backyard."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you Cai Ling."

Hu Cailing took the tray and left the room.

Li Wenyu also moved the prepared hot pot restaurant account book to Zhang Yunyue's room and returned to the lobby.

One afternoon, Zhang Yunyue sorted out all the accounts of the food store and hot pot shop for the past few months in her room.

The hot pot shop has made nearly two thousand three hundred taels in the four months since it opened, and the food shop has made nearly one thousand taels.

Zhang Yunyue didn't expect that the business of these two stores would be so good. They made so much money in such a short period of time. It seems that she can give out more red envelopes as she thought of before.

Zhang Cheng took Zhang Xinghao to the oil mill to buy 130 kilograms of vegetable oil, and also bought a pottery jar directly at the oil mill.

Then they asked the oil mill to pack every five kilograms into a can and send them all to the Four Seasons Hot Pot Restaurant.

There were exactly twenty-six people in total, including two waiters and a woman helping in the kitchen, and each of them had one can.

The two of them went to the food store and bought 26 cans of pork chili oil and crispy whistles.

He kept the New Year gifts for the food shop employees and transported the rest back to the hot pot shop.

After dinner, Zhang Yunyue called Zhang Cheng and Zhang Xinghao to her room and told them about the situation of the two stores.

"Uncle, the two stores have had good business in the past few months, and the employees in the stores have also done a great job, so I plan to give them some red envelopes."

"Well, it's up to you. Second Uncle will listen to you. Business at both stores is good, so give more red envelopes to the employees so that everyone can have a happy New Year."

"Okay, then everyone will get an extra month's salary, plus the things we prepared, which is about one tael of silver. Tomorrow morning, we will give everyone the New Year gifts and red envelopes. We can buy some things in the county town and then go home."

"Okay, this New Year gift is already very generous. When I was walking around with Xiaohao today, I also asked about the New Year gifts offered by waiters in the county. Many of them are only a few dozen or a hundred coins. If you give out some snacks, there will be no more."

"That's good. For us, as long as the waiter works hard and there are no problems in the store, and the business is pretty good now, it doesn't matter if we give him a little more money."

"Well, Yueyue, Second Uncle agrees with what you said. That's how you should think."

"Oh, right, Uncle, I've decided to have everyone work until the 27th at the hot pot restaurant, rest from the 28th to the 7th, and start work on the 8th. How do you want to arrange things for the food store?"

Zhang Cheng did not hesitate and said directly: "The food store should also follow the hot pot restaurant's schedule so that everyone can take a break.

However, in the last few days in the county town, there were more people buying things on the street. There were still people guarding the windows selling chili oil and crispy whistles. Some customers probably bought them on the 29th or 30th to visit relatives and friends during the New Year. "

"Oh, yes, I forgot about this, but it's okay, just leave Uncle Wang and Song He there, and let the waiters in the store take a day off first. I will tell everyone tomorrow."

Zhang Yunyue took a look and realized it was only the end of the You hour.

"Uncle, brother, it's still early, do you want to go out for a walk? I haven't been to the snack street on West Street for a long time, and brother hasn't been to the county town yet."

Zhang Xinghao immediately showed an interested expression and said:

"Yueyue, let's go, Dad, let's go. I've heard Yueyue talk about this snack street before, and you guys also said there's a mutton soup restaurant there that's especially delicious.

Although I have eaten dinner, I still want to try it, otherwise I don’t know when I will come to the county town again next time.”

Zhang Cheng couldn't bear to refuse his son's request: "Okay, let's go. It's still early, so we can walk around for a while. The temperature is low at night, so you two should wear something thicker to avoid catching a cold outside."

Zhang Xinghao looked at the clothes he was wearing and said, "Dad, I'm wearing thick clothes, so I'm not cold. Yueyue, do you want to wear something thicker?"

Zhang Yunyue shook her head: "No, it's too thick. It will be hot again after walking for a while. This is fine."

"Okay, let's go, walk slowly over there."

In this way, the three of them walked from East Street to the snack street on West Street.

"Yueyue, the county town can be so lively at night. I thought everyone would rest at night."

"Second brother, the county town has a curfew at midnight. Although the city gates close early, there are many people living in the county town. In the evening, many families will bring their children out.

There are fewer people in winter now, but in the summer, there were more people hanging out in the snack street in the evening.”

"Second brother, the street ahead is the famous snack street in the county." Zhang Yunyue pointed to an alley ahead with more people.

"We're here, let's go."

Several people quickened their pace and headed towards the snack street.

Standing at the entrance of the alley, Zhang Xinghao could already smell the strong fragrance.

"Brother, let's go and buy whatever you want to eat."

The three of them started strolling in the snack street.

Zhang Xinghao was like a wild horse running wild in the snack street, eating this and that.

Fortunately, although the three of them had already eaten dinner, they had also digested some of the food they had just walked over, and the things they bought were shared by the three of them, so they did not feel full.

When they arrived at the mutton soup restaurant, there were many people drinking mutton soup in the restaurant. The three of them found a seat and sat down and ordered a bowl of mutton soup.

Zhang Yunyue didn't drink it, so Zhang Xinghao and Zhang Cheng, father and son, each drank half a bowl.

"Dad, Yueyue, this mutton soup is really delicious! I'll come back to drink it next time I have a chance, but I'll try to eat less next time. I only drank half a bowl today and felt a little unsatisfied.

But now that I’ve finished drinking the mutton soup, I feel much warmer.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xinghao burped.

"I feel a little full after drinking it, haha."

Zhang Cheng and Zhang Yunyue also laughed.

Zhang Cheng looked at the sky. The three of them had been strolling for nearly an hour.

"We've almost finished eating. Let's walk back slowly and help digest the food. Otherwise, Xiaohao might not be able to sleep tonight."

"Well, Dad, Hiccup, let's go, Hiccup."

Zhang Yunyue heard Zhang Xinghao burp again and immediately burst into laughter.

After returning to the hot pot restaurant, Zhang Xinghao finally stopped burping.
