Chapter 128 Thank You Very Much
"By the way, Yueyue, Aunt Mu also wants to thank you for helping Xiaohua and Xiaohe make money. I have been wanting to find you, but you haven't been home for most of the past half month. Today I finally saw you, so Aunt Mu has to thank you very much."
"Oh, Aunt Mu, Xiaohua, Xiaohe and I have been friends since we were little. We have such a good relationship, there is no need to thank me. I won't agree if you say that again in the future."
"Okay, Aunt Mu won't say any more. Aunt Mu will always remember this gratitude in her heart. Then I won't disturb you from loading the goods. I'll go in and work first."
"Okay, Aunt Mu."
Grandpa Zhang called a few workers from the noodle pounding room, and asked them to load 100 kilograms of the workshop's chili oil, pickled chili and crispy peppers onto the carriage, and also moved some pottery jars of various sizes onto the carriage.
"Xiao Yun, everything is ready. Please go slowly when you get on the road later."
Zhang Xingyun: "I understand, Grandpa."
Zhang Yunyue: "Grandpa, I have to come again tomorrow. There will be an opening event, so I need to stock up more goods in the store."
Grandpa Zhang nodded: "This is natural. It's okay. In addition to the goods from Tianxianglou, we have stocks in the workshop. You can come and get them at will."
"Okay, Grandpa, then Grandpa, my brother and I will go home and then return to the county town."
"Okay, go ahead." Grandpa Zhang waved to the two of them.
After saying goodbye to Grandpa Zhang, Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun drove the carriage home.
When he got home, Zhang Xingyun tied the carriage to a big tree at the door.
Then he went back to the house to get his bag and the mooncakes he had made yesterday, and put them on the carriage.
Zhang Yunyue also happened to come out with her bag.
Grandma Zhang, Mrs. Zhu, Zhang Xinghao and Zhang Yunxue were all standing at the door, ready to see Zhang Xingyun and Zhang Yunyue off.
Zhang Yunyue put his baggage on the carriage and then got on. There was still a corner left in the carriage where Zhang Yunyue could sit.
Zhang Yunyue: "Grandma, Second Aunt, Second Brother, Xiaoxue, let's go."
"Please be careful on the road."
"Be careful along the way."
"Sister, come back soon, I will miss you."
"Brother, you and Yueyue have a safe journey."
Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun waved to the few people and drove away in the carriage.
Grandma Zhang looked at the carriage going farther and farther away and sighed, "Although the county town is not far away, I always feel a little reluctant to send them away."
Zhu was also disappointed: "Of course, when Yueyue and Xiaoyun are not at home, the house feels much quieter. Normally, there is no such feeling when the two of them are at home."
"Hey, let's go inside. Xiaoxue, you guys should go inside too."
On this side, Zhang Xingyun was heading towards the town at a slow pace, and he didn't dare to let the horse run. After all, the cart was full of pottery jars, and even if there was grass between the jars, they could not withstand collisions.
However, fortunately, even though I didn’t run as fast, it still didn’t take too much extra time to get to the food store in town.
Zhang Xingyun parked the carriage beside the food store entrance and tied the rope to the pillar at the door.
Zhang Yunyue jumped off the carriage, walked into the food store with Zhang Xingyun, and stood in front of the counter.
"Father."
Father Zhang looked at his daughter and son in surprise, but after a moment's thought, he understood why they were here:
"Yueyue, Xiaoyun, you came to the food store today. Are you preparing to go back to the county town?"
Zhang Yunyun nodded: "Yes, father, the waiter in the store will start work tomorrow, and we have to arrange everyone's work in advance. We are here to pick up Uncle Wang, and then we will go back to the county town."
"Wang Min is in the kitchen right now. You two can go say hello to your mother before you leave. I'll be watching over the carriage for you at the door."
"Okay, Dad."
After saying that, the two of them went towards the kitchen.
"Mother, Uncle Wang."
Zhang's mother: "Oh, Yueyue, you are going back to the county town today, right?"
"Yes, this guy is here to pick up Uncle Wang."
Zhang Yunyue turned to Wang Min and said, "Uncle Wang, go pack your bags first. We will go back to the county town soon. By the way, how are you doing in your studies these past two days? Is everything okay?"
"Girl, it's good. I have almost learned it. I know what to do when I return to the county. Girl, you talk to the eldest lady. I will go pack my bags now."
After saying that, Wang Min left the kitchen.
"Mother, when the shops in the county town are stable, my brother and I will come back."
"Okay, take good care of yourselves in the county, and don't worry about your family."
"Yes, I understand, mother."
"By the way, I'll cook a bowl of noodles for each of you now. It will take you more than an hour to get back to the county town. By the time you get there, it will be 3:00 p.m."
Zhang Yunyue thought about it and it made sense. If she didn't eat now, she would probably be hungry halfway through the journey.
"Okay, then mother, I'll make a little less. I'm going to make some noodles with minced cowpea and minced meat. I'll just fill my stomach for now. Big brother and Uncle Wang can come as usual."
"Yeah, I got it. You sit in the yard for a while. I'll bring it to you when it's ready. Xiaoyun, go sit there too."
Not long after, Zhang's mother brought three bowls of noodles.
Wang Min also packed his bags and sat at the table.
"Thank you, ma'am."
"What's there to thank for? We're all family from now on. You three can eat quickly."
The three of them picked up their noodles and started eating.
After eating the noodles, the three of them rested in the food store for a while before Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun said goodbye to their mother and father.
"Xiaoyun, keep an eye on Yueyue. Be careful when driving the carriage."
"I know, mother, don't worry, I will be careful. Then we will go. Father, mother, you should go in too."
After saying that, Zhang Yunyue got on the carriage first and sat in the remaining corner of the carriage, while Zhang Xingyun and Wang Min sat outside the carriage.
A group of three set off for the county town in a horse-drawn carriage.
Originally, he thought he would arrive at the county town at around 3 p.m., but because he drove slowly on the road, it was already 3 p.m. when Zhang Xingyun drove the carriage to the county town.
Thinking that there were chili oil and crispy mooncakes in the carriage, in order to avoid trouble, Zhang Xingyun first drove the carriage to the shop on East Street, dropped off Zhang Yunyue, and took down the mooncakes he brought from home.
Carry the pickled chili peppers to the back kitchen and place them there for making the hot pot base later.
He called Zhang Cheng and the rest of the men in the store, and they all went to West Street to unload the things from the carriage.
Arriving at West Street, Zhang Cheng opened the door of the shop, and several people helped to slowly move the chili oil and crispy whistles from the truck and placed them at a separate window in front of the shop.
This one is specially made to be the same as the one in town, so that customers can buy it individually without affecting their eating of noodles in the store.
After unloading all the things at the food store, everyone got on the carriage and returned to the shop on East Street together.
Zhang Cheng drove the carriage to the gate of the backyard, knocked on the door, and waited for someone to come and open the door. Then everyone entered the backyard.
Zhang Cheng looked at Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun who were resting in the yard, and said, "Yueyue, how is Xiaoyun's family doing these days? Is the workshop busy?"
