Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 293

I can't remember how many times this has happened, but Zhong Ruyi has come out of the workshop and wanted to go to the hilltop to see how the apple trees she had planted are doing. She had just leased a hilltop from the village chief and planted hundreds of apple trees. Now she has invited several good farmers in the village to help her take care of it, and she would go over to check on it from time to time.

As soon as she came out, she met the mason's wife waiting for her at the door. When she saw her come out, she quickly came forward with a flattering smile, "Ruyi, where are you going? Auntie made some food for you and brought it over to you, come and try it."

"No need, auntie. Take the food back and feed it to your grandchildren. I'm busy now so I won't greet you."

After she said that, she quickly slipped away. I really didn't expect that this mason's wife could hold on for so many days.

From the first time she came to our house until now, she would come over almost whenever she was free. Although she spoke in a roundabout way, any discerning person could tell that she came for her family's masonry business.

The mason's wife tightly grasped the basket she brought, feeling secretly resentful.

She couldn't understand. Zhong Ruyi and her family didn't refuse the price increase mentioned before, so why did they turn around and find someone else to buy the jars instead of buying from them?

If she had known that they had found someone else, she would not have said at the beginning that she wanted to raise the price of the jar to ten cents each, but at most five or three cents.

Thinking about how I came to see them these days and received such a rejection attitude, I felt disappointed.

Before coming, her husband kept telling her to speak nicely and not to make them angry.

She wants to talk nicely too!

But they never give themselves this opportunity. Every time they meet them, they just leave without saying a few words.

The mason's wife was both worried and resentful.

What she was worried about was whether her family was really going to lose such a big client. The money for her youngest son to marry his wife depended entirely on the income from the past six months. Now that it was gone, how could she feel good about it?

What I complained about was that the two companies had been cooperating for such a long time, but Zhong Ruyi just said she would find someone else without even telling my company. If she had told them, they would definitely not raise the price and would stick to the previous price.

If she were to say, this little girl is just too greedy and wants to take all the good things for herself!

If you don't give them meat, at least leave some soup for them!

But the man had already left, and it was useless for the mason's wife to stamp her feet in anger. She could only go back and plan to come back next time.

Zhong Ruyi didn't want to pay attention to the mason's wife, so every time she came, she would just say a few perfunctory words and then run away.

She was walking to the top of the hill that she had rented. She had asked someone to help fence off the area to prevent the fruits from growing in the future and being picked by passers-by, and all the work would be in vain.

"Uncle! Brother Dabao!"

She pushed open the fence and went in. Two men who were bending over to weed stood up and looked over here.

"Ruyi, how come you have time to come up?"

One of the two men was Zhong's father's cousin Zhong Liang, and the other was his youngest son Zhong Dabao. Both were good at taking care of crops.

Although there are differences between the crops and fruit trees in the fields, Zhong Ruyi believes that they are all plants and must have similarities.

"I came up to see if there's anything I can help with."

My uncle wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a smile, "The trees that died a few days ago have been replanted with new ones. They are growing well. As long as we take good care of them this year, they should be able to bear fruit next year, but the quantity should not be too much."

Zhong Ruyi nodded. She had thought about this as well. She did not require a large amount of fruit to be produced next year. At the very least, she would still have enough in her space.

These fruit trees were moved out from her space. If they were not moved out, they would grow directly in her space.

However, if they were moved outside and planted without the watering of the spiritual spring water from the space, they would not grow as well.

It takes at least three years for a normal apple tree to bear fruit, and it needs to be grafted later.

She had to cheat with the space to grow such good fruit trees.

"Uncle, I'll go around and take a look. You guys continue with your work." Zhong Ruyi wanted to secretly water the fruit trees with the spiritual spring water, so she could only use an excuse to get the two of them away.

While no one was paying attention, she quickly watered the apple trees around her with space water. Those that were not watered would have to wait until next time.

When she went back after watering the plants, she happened to meet Chen Dongzhi who came looking for her with something in his hand.

"Did you make this yourself?" Zhong Ruyi was a little surprised.

What Chen Dongzhi gave her was a string of wind chimes made by punching holes in shells.

After she raised it up, a gust of wind blew, and the wind chimes made crisp tinkling sounds.

"Da Feng and I spent an entire afternoon picking up only a few dozen good ones. The rest were damaged."

Chen Dongzhi also heard Dafeng say that he wanted to go to the beach to pick up some shells and bring them back because his sister wanted them and had been begging for a long time.

I finally got the chance to go to Nanzhou this time. Many beautiful shells are often washed up in the sea there.

The little girl wanted it, so she picked it up and took it home to make it into a decoration.

He thought that since he had to wait for the master to prepare the goods, he might as well follow Dafeng to pick up some and make one for Ruyi.

Not all of the items you pick up can be used, and you have to pick out the damaged and ugly ones.

I can just pick out the odds and ends to make one.

As soon as he finished it, he brought it over to look for someone. When he got to the workshop, no one was there. Li Guihua said that before she left, she wanted to go to the top of the mountain to take a look.

I just happened to meet him when I came here.

He smiled tenderly, "Do you like it? If you like it, I'll change it to a conch and make another one next time."

"I like it!" Zhong Ruyi couldn't let go of the wind chime.

The two of them walked back and happened to meet Li Zhi's father who came to deliver a jar.

"Uncle Li, you've worked hard. Come in and have some tea."

Zhong Ruyi quickly asked the people in the workshop to come out and help move the jars into the warehouse.

Li Zhidie wiped the sweat off his head and refused with a smile, "I won't go in. The kiln is still burning. I have to go back and watch it."

He looked at the tall man beside Zhong Ruyi, who was nimble and had amazing arm strength as he carried a basket of jars and went in. He was a little surprised: This young man is really strong! He is really good at work!

The cart that was pushed in was quickly unloaded, and Zhong Ruyi paid five cents for the door-to-door delivery.

Li Zhidie felt a little embarrassed. After accepting the money, he suddenly remembered something and said, "When I just came in, I met a woman at the entrance of the village. She saw me pulling a cart full of cans and asked me if I was delivering them to the Zhong family. She also asked me where I was from. I didn't tell her and just left. She even chased after me."

This woman was the mason’s wife. After Zhong Ruyi left, she was thinking about waiting for him to come back and have a good talk with him. However, Zhong Ruyi had been gone for a long time and she left.

After he described it like this, everyone present who knew the mason's wife knew that it was her.

Zhong Ruyi glanced at Li Guihua, and then said to Li Zhi's father, "Uncle, next time you see her, don't bother with her. She was a mason we worked with before, but we stopped working with her after she raised her price. But she keeps coming to me, hoping that we can continue to buy jars from her. However, her jars are too expensive, and she just turned a deaf ear to my many rejections. I don't bother to bother with her anymore, so don't bother with her either."

When Li Zhi's father learned that it was the bricklayer he had worked with before, he was worried that the business would soon fail. He was relieved after hearing what she said next.

Soon the man pulled the empty cart away.

"Sister-in-law, next time the mason's wife comes, don't waste time talking to her. Just tell her that our two families will no longer cooperate. We don't want to keep switching back and forth. It's fine as it is now."
