A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 145: Too Late to Be Happy

Grandpa Zhang was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling: "Great, great, Grandpa is very happy today, hahahaha."

Great grandfather: "Oh, these little guys, you speak well and do well, hahaha."

Zhang Yunyue took the knife from Grandpa Zhang and began to cut the cake into small pieces one by one.

Then take the wax paper that has been cut next to it and put one piece of wax paper and one piece of cake on it.

Zhang's mother and Zhu placed the cake that Zhang Yunyue had prepared on the table in front of everyone. When everyone had their cake, there was still a small half of the cake left. Zhang Yunyue then lifted the remaining cake off the table and put it back into the main room.

Grandpa Zhang looked at everyone sitting at the table and said, "Everyone should try the cakes made by these children. We must not let them down."

After Grandpa Zhang finished speaking, everyone started eating.

Zhang Yunxue, who was sitting next to Zhang Yunyue, said, "Sister, it's delicious. Sister, can you make me a birthday cake next time?" After saying that, she looked straight at Zhang Yunyue.

"Okay, I'll make it for you next time on your birthday."

Zhang Xingfeng quickly raised his hand and said, "Sister, there's me too. There's me too. I want one too."

"Okay, I'll make it for you on your birthday."

Zhang Yunhuan: "Yueyue, how did you come up with this? The cream on the cake is so delicious. I like it so much."

Zhang Yunni: "Yes, cousin Yueyue, this cream is delicious, and the fruit inside is delicious too."

"It's delicious. After dinner, take a break. There's more in the main room. You can eat it later."

After Grandpa Zhang and his two tables of men finished their cakes, they asked Zhang's father to bring out the wine that Zhang Cheng had bought for them.

Father Zhang poured a bowl of wine for each man who could drink.

Grandpa Zhang: "Come on, today is my birthday, I haven't had a good drink in a long time, come, have a drink."

"Okay, Third Brother, I can use your birthday as an excuse to have some wine today. I don't usually have a chance to drink. Hahaha."

Father Zhang: "Come on, come on, eat and drink well today. Usually we don't have time to eat together. Every time we deliver the goods, we leave in a hurry. Today we have to eat and drink slowly."

At the dinner table, some people are drinking, some are eating.

Guan: "Today's meal is delicious, Yueyue mother, Xiaoxue mother, I will learn how to cook from you when I have time. After seeing your meals, I feel like I can't cook at all."

After saying that, he picked up a piece of braised beef for his grandson Dabao to eat.

Chen: "Yes, I have to learn it too, otherwise I'm afraid that after they finish eating at your house today, they will no longer like the dishes we cook. Haha, but fortunately, I learned a few tricks today, and I have to try them out when I get back."

Mrs. Zhu patted her chest and said, "My two sisters-in-law, if you have any questions, I am at home every day and you can come and ask me at any time."

"Haha, okay, I'll ask you then."

Today, Zhang's mother and her family cooked a lot of dishes, including spicy chicken, duck with young ginger, pickled meat, stewed pig's trotters, braised beef tendon, stir-fried beef with coriander, stir-fried pork with green peppers, stir-fried pork with pickled cowpeas, and some vegetarian dishes.

There were more than ten dishes on the table, filling each table.

The women and children's table ate for nearly half an hour, talking as they ate. The two tables of men also had to drink, so they ate for almost an hour in total.

Everyone was very satisfied with today's meal, and they kept saying how delicious this dish was and how fragrant that dish was.

This also made Zhang's mother and Zhu, who were cooking, very happy. After all, it was something to be happy about that their cooking skills were recognized by everyone.

After Zhang Yunyue and the others finished their meal, they cleaned up the dishes at the women's table and the children's table, and then took out the remaining cake in the main room.

Although everyone was full, they still couldn't stop wanting to eat cake.

After all, cakes are not for sale. Only Zhang Yunyue knows how to make them, and she only makes them on birthdays. So even though she is full now, she still wants to stuff some more cake into her stomach.

Grandpa Zhang and the others were still drinking. When Mother Zhang saw that there were fewer dishes on the table, she brought some more dishes from the kitchen and put them on the table.

After the meal, the eldest grandmother and the second grandmother were about to go home to work, leaving the men here to continue drinking.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Zhang's mother and Zhu thought that there was still a lot of meat and vegetables left in the kitchen, so they put them in a basin.

"Aunt, Second Aunt, we haven't eaten any of these dishes yet, and there are still quite a few left. We can't finish them tonight, and they won't taste good if we leave them for tomorrow. You can take some home and heat them up to eat in the evening."

"Yes, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I have never eaten these dishes, please don't be disgusted."

The grandmother waved her hand and said, "Third sister-in-law, what you said is right. These dishes are all in the kitchen. Okay, then we can take them home and eat them. We don't mind, hahaha."

Second Grandma: "Third sister-in-law, I don't mind. Hahaha, these dishes are so delicious. I can have another meal tonight. I'm so happy that I can't wait to have it. I won't mind it."

"That's good. Come, carry them. Put some of each dish in the bowl."

Zhang Xingzhong's wife Li Manman and Zhang Xinglin's wife Mao Hong both took the basin handed over by Zhang's mother.

"Thank you, aunt."

"Hey, don't be polite. Just hold it. It's a little heavy."

"Yeah, it's ready."

Grandma: "Then we will go home first and let the men drink slowly. We will not accompany them."

After saying that, the eldest grandmother took her family and the second grandmother's family back home.

In the yard, Grandpa Zhang and his friends drank for another half hour before they stopped.

Then everyone sat aside and continued chatting. Zhang Yunyue poured everyone a cup of tea and placed it on the side so that everyone could sober up.

Grandma Zhang, Mother Zhang, Mrs. Zhu, and Zhang Yunyue cleaned the table and took all the dishes to the kitchen.

Several people began to wash the pots and pans in the kitchen. Although there were many used dishes, it didn't take them long to clean up the dishes and hygiene in the kitchen.

By the time Zhang Yunyue and the others finished cleaning the kitchen and came out, everyone in the yard was almost sober.

Qiao Dazhu said, "My dear, we are almost back. We will be delayed for a while on the way."

Zhu Ming: "Then let's go too. It's almost twilight hour by the time we get back. It's getting colder now, and it gets dark earlier than before. We need to get home earlier."

Grandpa Zhang: "Okay, I won't keep you any longer, or you'll be late to go home, which would be unsafe."

Zhang's father and Zhang Cheng led the ox carts of the Qiao family and the Zhu family to the door.

Father Zhang said to Qiao Dacheng and Qiao Ercheng: "Brother, brother, please drive slowly. After all, you have been drinking, so you should be careful on the road."

Qiao Dazhu was already sitting on the ox cart.

Qiao Dacheng: "Don't worry, we didn't drink much and we are still sober. Let's go."
