Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 364

The next day, the convoy set out for Jinzhou, picked up the goods to be delivered, and then went to Qingyun Township.

After five days' journey, the convoy carrying the medicinal herbs sent back from Qingyun Township arrived at the door of Yu's herbal medicine shop.

After Chen Dongzhi and his men finished counting the number, they were about to go back. When Madam Yu came out, she happened to meet him. She greeted him and asked, "I heard that the Meng family in Wuzhou is rising again?"

Wuzhou Meng family.

After thinking it over in his mind, Chen Dongzhi remembered that this was the Meng family that was harmed by Zhao Cunliang. Thinking that he had not heard of this in the news he had inquired about before, he shook his head honestly, "No."

Mrs. Yu was quite surprised. "You were out all day, don't you know what happened?"

Chen Dongzhi indeed didn't notice it. Unless he specifically asked about it, he wouldn't have paid any attention to it.

He knew nothing about anything she asked. Mrs. Yu no longer had the heart to chat with him, so she just said a few perfunctory words and turned away.

When he got home, he told his wife about what Madam Yu had asked him about. "It was said that the case had already been resolved. After all, Zhao Cunliang had been arrested, and the property that had previously belonged to the Meng family should be returned to Miss Meng."

Zhong Ruyi felt that he was right. "Didn't you come back from Wuzhou? Didn't you ask around?"

Originally, he didn't think there was anything wrong, but after hearing what his wife said, Chen Dongzhi felt a little ashamed. "I didn't pay attention. I'll find out more next time and tell you when I get back."

That's right.

Zhong Ruyi nodded in satisfaction and handed him a handful of rice noodles. "Take it to Third Brother's house. Third Sister-in-law has become addicted to rice noodles recently. I still have some here, so give it to her."

When I was walking towards Zhong Laosan's house with the Zhami noodles, I happened to meet Zhao Dajun peeing next to the public toilet in the village. It was clearly a toilet, but he insisted on exposing his penis outside and embarrassing himself.

Chen Dongzhi glanced at him calmly and quickly delivered the rice noodles. Zhao Dajun was still getting out of the water intermittently with his back to him, and he didn't notice that there was suddenly someone behind him.

...

The man came back, washed his hands, and prepared to eat rice noodles for lunch.

Zhong Ruyi had just put away some dried clothes when she saw the man rubbing his hands. He had rubbed half of each round bath bead. "Are you done washing? If you are, come and help me put away this quilt. Can we have rice noodles for lunch?"

Chen Dongzhi curved his eyes slightly, and the two of them thought of the same thing. After saying yes, he dried his hands and went to put away the thick quilt that had been drying in the sun all morning. The sun was shining brightly now, and winter clothes and quilts could be dried warmly in a morning.

Slice the pork belly bought in the morning, cut the fresh chili into pieces diagonally, and set aside the ginger and garlic.

Pour the hot oil over the minced garlic, chopped green onion, chili powder and Sichuan pepper powder and mix well. Pour in the soy sauce and then add the cooked rice noodles.

After the pork belly is fried until oil comes out, add chili peppers, ginger and garlic and stir-fry. When almost done, add salt, oyster sauce and chicken essence to season.

Chen Dongzhi already knew about the space, so Zhong Ruyi didn't hide anything when cooking and took out everything she needed.

Sometimes when Chen Dongzhi was cooking, he would come and ask her how to use the bottles and jars in the kitchen to make the food taste good.

Pour the fried pepper and pork on the rice noodles and mix well before eating. It is fragrant and spicy, and the rice noodles are refreshing.

Both of their bowls were filled to the brim, and suddenly the only sound on the table was the sound of slurping.

Chen Dongzhi swallowed all the leftovers. After wiping his mouth, Zhong Ruyi thought about how he had obviously lost appetite and couldn't eat when he took the medicine before, but he still forced himself to finish the usual amount of food.

She felt a little suffocated just thinking about it, so she deliberately took the man's empty bowl and said, "Are you not full? There's more in the pot. I'll get you some more."

Chen Dongzhi didn't notice her bad taste and really thought there was still food in the pot, so he waited obediently, not wanting to waste it.

?

Are you really not full?

Zhong Ruyi looked at him in surprise and said, "I lied to you. There's nothing left in the pot."

It was gone, and Chen Dongzhi hadn't reacted yet. It wasn't that he wasn't full, he just didn't want to waste food.

Outside the door, Zhong Laosan banged on the door loudly, "Little sister! Dongzhi! Are you home?"

Zhong Ruyi went over to open the door and saw her third brother with a gloating smile on his face. He said as he walked over, "Little sister, did you know? Zhao Dajun was just found lying in the village's public toilet covered in shit!"

The village proposed to fund the construction of a public toilet for those people from other villages who came to learn how to grow watermelons. Zhao Dajun didn't know what was going on and he had fainted when he was found.

No one dared to approach him because he was covered in shit, so in the end they had to ask someone to call Zhao Dajun's family to take him away.

This is some juicy gossip.

Chen Dongzhi in the room lowered his head and collected the dishes to wash. Where no one noticed, a triumphant smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

This is what you deserve!

Zhao Dajun's wife actually dared to spread rumors about her own wife. He would not let these two people live too comfortably. This was just the beginning. In the following days, Zhao Dajun and his wife either suddenly fell into the ditch while walking or the vegetables they had just planted at home were attacked by rats.

The two of them sighed all day long, their lives were unhappy and they quarreled more often. The villagers often squatted at the door with bowls in their hands, eating while watching them quarrel.

It was two months later that Chen Dongzhi learned about the Meng family in Wuzhou when he was escorting the goods there.

The waiter poured him some tea attentively. "Zhao Cunliang, who harmed the Meng family, has been thrown into jail, and the Meng family's property that was seized has been returned to Miss Meng!"

"But," he suddenly said mysteriously, "I heard that after Miss Meng took back all her family property, those relatives who didn't associate with her started to associate with her. Mr. Meng also has a younger brother who runs a cloth shop in Wuzhou City."

The waiter looked at them with disdain, "Why didn't they lend a helping hand when we were in trouble before? What's the point of coming out to ask about our well-being now? All the people are dead!"

Realizing that what he said was a bit extreme, the waiter slapped his mouth with a flattering smile.

Chen Dong didn't care and waved his hand to let him continue. He had to write down what he heard and tell his wife when he got back.

...

Zhong Ruyi had a complicated expression. "Miss Meng, wouldn't she be soft-hearted towards those shameless relatives just because her family members are gone? Didn't you just say that since they came to see Miss Meng, Miss Meng has often had accidents?"

She strongly suspected that it was these relatives who did not help her and did it for the huge fortune in Miss Meng's hands.

After all, Mr. Meng only has Miss Meng as his bloodline left in the world. If something happens to her now, won’t all the family property fall into the hands of these relatives?

At this critical moment, something happened to Miss Meng. Anyone with a discerning eye would know who did it. I just hope Miss Meng doesn't lose heart and ruin the life she has worked so hard to save.
