A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 110 I Want to Go to the County Town Tomorrow

"Of course I will teach you how to drive a carriage and also tell you about the habits of horses."

By the time Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Cheng learned how to drive a carriage and understood the habits of horses, an hour had passed. Then the two drove the carriage back to the food store.

The food shop was very busy at the time, so Zhang Cheng drove the carriage to the backyard.

Then he and Zhang Yunyue helped out in the food store. When the peak period for eating noodles in the store was over, they were a little hungry, so Zhang's mother cooked a bowl of noodles for each of them.

Father Zhang sat aside and watched the two people eating noodles:

"Yueyue, now that the carriage has been bought, when are you and your second uncle planning to go to the county town?"

"Father, I want to go as soon as possible, just one or two days. Grandpa is at the workshop at home, you and mother are at the food store in town, and my second uncle, my eldest brother and I can go directly to the county town."

"Okay, be careful when you go to the county town." After saying this, Zhang's father turned to Zhang Cheng and said, "Second brother, help keep an eye on these two children."

Zhang Cheng put down the chopsticks holding the noodles and looked at his eldest brother: "Brother, look at what you said, Yueyue and Xiaoyun are my niece and nephew, we are a family, they are the same as Xiaohao and Xiaoxue, of course I will take good care of the two children, don't worry."

"Well, of course I know that." After saying that, Zhang's father patted Zhang Cheng on the shoulder.

After eating the noodles, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Yunyue chatted with Zhang's father and mother for a while, and talked about some things that need to be paid attention to when going to the county town. After all, Zhang's father has been in the town for more than a month, and sometimes he would chat with guests, so his knowledge has increased a lot.

After finishing talking, he said goodbye to Zhang's father and mother and drove home in the carriage.

back home.

Zhang Cheng asked Zhang Yunyue to go to the workshop and call back Zhang Xingyun and Zhang Xinghao. This afternoon, Zhang Cheng decided to teach Zhang Xingyun and Zhang Xinghao how to drive a horse-drawn carriage.

Zhang Cheng had just driven the carriage all the way back from the town. He had become much more skilled and familiar with the horses. He was more than capable of teaching the two of them how to drive the carriage.

Zhang Cheng spent the entire afternoon teaching the two men how to drive a cart on the small path in front of the door. Zhang Yunyue thought that although she had practiced for a while in the town in the morning, she was afraid that she would forget it later, so she followed the three of them to deepen her practice.

By the middle of the You hour, when Grandpa Zhang came back from work in the workshop, Zhang Xingyun and his two siblings had already been able to drive the carriage very well.

At least in the future, if Zhang Cheng is delayed and cannot drive the carriage, the others can get on by themselves and there will be no delay.

evening.

The Zhang family members were talking about going to the county town in the yard.

"Grandpa, Second Uncle, now that I have bought the carriage, I will prepare to go to the county town tomorrow."

Grandpa Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, you guys go. I'll be at home and in the workshop. Where are your grandma and your second aunt? Don't worry."

"Uncle, we'll probably have to go for a few days. Tomorrow we'll go to the county town and find an inn to stay in, then go to the dental office. After we find a shop, we'll have to find carpenters and bricklayers to do the renovations.

And we still need to find a chef. If we can’t even find a chef at a dental clinic, then we’ll have to have a family member take over temporarily.”

Zhang Cheng nodded. He had started thinking about what Zhang Yunyue said since the day before yesterday.

"Well, we will probably have to stay in the county town for a while. Yueyue, Xiaoyun, remember to pack some more clothes when you return to your room."

Zhang Xingyun: "Yes, Uncle, I know."

Zhang Yunyue: "Okay, Uncle, I understand."

When Zhu heard the three people say they were packing their clothes, she got up and went back to her room, took out a package from the room, and then sat on the stool again.

Zhu opened the package and found two sets of clothes inside.

"Yueyue, Xiaoyun, didn't I hear you guys talking about opening a store in the county town the night before yesterday? I took note of it then, so yesterday your grandma and I thought that whether you were going to the county town or not, we should make your clothes first.

If you go to the county town, you will have new clothes to wear. Even if you don’t go to the county town, I will make clothes for you. Now I just make the clothes in advance.”

When Zhu said this, she took out the clothes from the package and said, "Yueyue, this is yours." Then she handed the clothes to Zhang Yunyue.

He picked up the remaining piece and handed it to Zhang Xingyun: "Xiaoyun, this is yours."

"You two go to the room and try out the clothes to see if they fit. If they don't, your grandma and I will alter them for you right away. I asked your second uncle to try them after dinner just now, and he was fine."

Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun each took their clothes back to the house, put them on to try them on, stretched their arms, and found that there was no problem with them, so they changed again and returned to the yard.

Zhang Xingyun: "Grandma, Second Aunt, it's okay, it fits perfectly."

Zhang Yunyue: "Grandma, Second Aunt, mine is fine too, very comfortable to wear. Thank you, Grandma, Second Aunt."

Grandma Zhang smiled and said, "That's fine. As long as the clothes fit, it's worth it for your second aunt and I to work hard on them yesterday and today."

Several people nodded.

The next day.

After the Zhang family finished their breakfast, Grandpa Zhang took Zhang Xinghao to the workshop.

Zhang Cheng led the horse out of the yard and tied it to the tree at the gate. Zhu handed the package that had been packed last night to Zhang Cheng. Zhu also specially put a few taels of silver into it. The silver bills were placed by Zhang Cheng in the lining of his inner clothes.

Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun also came out of their rooms, each carrying a bag.

Zhang Yunyue also put all the silver bills for buying two shops and the silver bills for buying things for renovation in the interlayer of the inner clothes that Zhu had made temporarily. Only a few taels of silver were put in the package to cover the expenses of food and staying in the inn.

Zhang Cheng saw that both of them came out with bags on their backs, so he took their bags and put them in the carriage.

Grandma Zhang looked at the three of them with a worried look on her face: "Second brother, please take good care of Yueyue and Xiaoyun. Be careful and stay safe on the road."

Zhang Cheng stood beside the carriage and solemnly promised Grandma Zhang: "Don't worry, mother, I will take care of Yueyue and Xiaoyun." He then looked at Zhu and said: "Xiaoli, take good care of the family."

Zhu nodded and said, "I understand. Don't get hungry and thin outside. Eat when it's time to eat. Don't be so busy that you forget to eat."

"Yes, we know, mother, Xiaoli, let's go, otherwise it will be past noon when we get to the county town."

Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun got on the carriage and sat in the compartment. Zhang Cheng also got on the carriage and sat in the front seat. Then they drove the carriage away from the side road.

After leaving the small path in front of Old Zhang's house and entering the official road, Zhang Cheng started the carriage running, but when he arrived at the county town gate, it was almost noon.

Father Zhang stopped the carriage and turned to say to the two siblings in the carriage.

"Yueyue, Xiaoyun, let's eat something outside the county town before going into the city. It's almost noon now, and you must be hungry."

Zhang Yunyue said: "Okay, Uncle, we'll be down right away."

Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun jumped off the carriage and walked aside.
