A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 141 Seeing Outside

Had breakfast.

Zhang Yunyue took out the clothes she had given to her grandpa and grandma, and the others also took out the gifts they had prepared for their grandpa and father.

Father Zhang first brought Mother Zhang, as well as Zhang Xingyun and his two siblings, to kowtow to Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang.

Several people handed over the gifts they had prepared, and then said a few words of birthday wishes to Grandpa Zhang.

After Zhang's father and others finished their worship, Zhang Cheng also brought Zhu and his two children to kowtow to Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang.

After the worship, the gifts are also brought forward.

"Okay, okay, my whole family is here today. I am having a very happy birthday."

Grandpa Zhang was very happy when he saw his son and grandchildren wishing him a happy birthday. The only wish of an old man is to be surrounded by his children and grandchildren. It has been a long time since there were so many people at home together. Today, everyone is here, and Grandpa Zhang feels that he is very satisfied with his birthday today.

"Grandpa, I bought new clothes for you and grandma. Today is your birthday, so go change into your clothes."

Grandma Zhang waved her hand and said, "I have to go to the kitchen to help later. Your grandfather can change it. I won't change it. Old man, you go and change it. Don't let Yueyue down."

Then he stuffed the clothes that Zhang Yunyue brought up from the ground into Grandpa Zhang's arms, and pushed Grandpa Zhang to the inner room to change clothes.

When Grandpa Zhang came out after changing his clothes, everyone said that the clothes were well bought and very suitable for Grandpa Zhang.

Zhang Xingfeng: "Grandpa, you look like the old men in this town when you wear this new dress that my sister bought for you."

As soon as Zhang Xingfeng finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Zhu praised: "But the clothes Yueyue bought are really beautiful. Yueyue has a good taste."

After everyone finished celebrating the birthday, they went back to their own work.

Zhang Cheng first went to the workshop to open the door so that everyone could go to work, and then waited for the owner of the pork stall in the town to deliver the pork. Then he picked up a few pig's feet and a rack of ribs, and carried about ten or twenty pounds of pork back home.

Zhang's mother, Mrs. Zhu, and Grandma Zhang were all busy in the kitchen preparing dishes for lunch.

While the three were still busy, the eldest grandfather and the second grandfather came with their family members.

Great grandfather: "Third brother, today is your birthday, and I didn't prepare anything, so I brought you a pot of wine and two chickens, don't be disgusted."

Second Grandfather: "Old Third, I'm also giving you Linlin a pot of wine and two ducks."

"Brother, second brother, what are you talking about? I'm glad you're here. It's so polite of you to bring these things. Come in and sit inside."

"Hello, Third Uncle."

"Hello, Third Grandpa."

"Hey, all of you come in and sit down."

Grandpa Zhang asked everyone to sit in the yard.

Zhang's father and Zhang Cheng took the wine, chickens and ducks they brought.

Great grandfather: "Old Third, the clothes you are wearing today are new, right? They look almost the same as those old masters'. Not bad, not bad."

"Brother, you are making fun of me, hahaha."

"I'm not making fun of you. You look really smart in this outfit."

"Yes, Third Brother, who bought this dress for you? The quality and style of the dress are both good."

Grandpa Zhang smiled and replied, "Big brother, second brother, it was bought by Yueyue."

"No wonder, Yueyue has such good taste. You are so lucky, third brother, to have a granddaughter like Yueyue."

While they were talking, the eldest grandmother and the second grandmother brought their daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law to the kitchen to help Zhang's mother and others.

Grandma: "Third brother and sister-in-law, what are you doing now? Let us help."

Second Grandma: "Yes, Third Sister-in-law, go ahead and tell me, otherwise the three of you might not be able to handle it all morning, we are here to help you."

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you are all here. It's good to have you help us. We will be more relaxed. Let's wash the vegetables first. There are also some bowls and plates that need to be cleaned. They will be convenient for use later. The water is boiling in the pot now, so we can kill the chicken later."

"By the way, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, if you need to borrow dishes or other things in the future, you can come to our house and get them. The eldest brother and his wife bought a lot of them yesterday. Thinking that they would be needed in the future, they bought a lot directly. This way, you don't have to borrow them when you need them in the future."

"Okay, I'll come to your house to borrow it if my family needs it in the future. By the way, my second brother and his wife and I also brought two chickens and two ducks. We'll kill them and eat them together later."

"That's good. There are so many people here today. If we kill too few chickens, there won't be enough to eat soon."

In the kitchen, everyone was chatting and joking while helping Zhu and the others wash, cut vegetables and chop meat.

The water in the kitchen was boiled, and Grandma Zhang called Zhang's father and Zhang Cheng in the yard to start killing chickens and ducks.

There are a lot of people here today, and Zhang's mother's family and Zhu's family will be here soon, so Zhang's father caught three more chickens from the chicken coop in the backyard. He also bought two ducks in the village yesterday, so he killed a total of five chickens and four ducks.

The men all helped to kill and pluck the chickens.

Zhang first chopped up the ribs that Zhang Cheng had brought back from the workshop, and then mixed them with the pork belly and the pickled meat powder that she had made yesterday. She prepared to steam the pickled meat in the thatched shed in the backyard, as this would take the longest time.

Now Zhang's mother and Mrs. Zhu can cook many dishes, so Zhang Yunyue did not help in the kitchen, but directly prepared to make the birthday cake.

Zhang Xingfeng and Zhang Yunxue knew that Zhang Yunyue was going to make a birthday cake today, so after breakfast they followed Zhang Yunyue, wanting to see how the birthday cake was made.

Zhang Yunni, the youngest daughter of Zhang Gui's uncle, looked at the flour, milk, sugar, and fruits that Zhang Yunyue took out and put on the table and asked.

"Cousin Yueyue, what are you going to do with all these things?"

Uncle Zhang Jiang's youngest daughter, Zhang Yunhuan, also asked, "Cousin Yueyue, you took out so many things, what are you going to do?"

"Nini, Huanhuan, I'm going to make a birthday cake. We can eat it together when I get home at noon."

Zhang Yunni asked: "Birthday cake, sister, this is what you eat on your birthday, right?"

"Yes, this is the most meaningful thing to eat on your birthday."

Zhang Yunhuan said, "Then cousin Yueyue, I will come to help you too. I also want to learn. When I learn it, I will also make it for Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad and Mom."

"Okay, I'll need your help in a little while, so don't complain about being tired later."

Zhang Yunyue told a few people about this in advance. After all, they would have to stir the egg whites and the cream quickly, both of which were hard work. When someone asked for help, Zhang Yunyue agreed immediately.

The cousins surrounding Zhang Yunyue didn't know what they would do next, but they all said they didn't know how to do it.
