Chapter 604: Chapter 604 Do You Know What You’re Talking About?
Yang Ye’s sudden appearance had given a scare to those who wanted to come and watch, but after he left, the interested crowd slowly gathered.
Just by the smell and color, it was clear that these two items were flavorful, but since they were free of charge, they couldn’t help but to taste them.
After confirming that they genuinely tasted good, the ones who should have gone back for a bowl immediately brought back their bowls, while the customers of Jixiju Restaurant came out with theirs directly from the restaurant.
Five copper coins for a spoonful, quite expensive.
But the price was in line with such a good taste.
With the taste guaranteed, both basins of field snails sold out quickly and the loach soup also sold out.
Until the three of them returned to the village, Yang Ye did not show up again.
On their journey back, Zhang Family was elatedly counting the copper coins. They had over a thousand in total, which made Zhang Family very joyous.
This, she thought, was a business that could earn a tael of silver a day!
You can’t guarantee the supply of field snails and loaches, so the business is not stable.
Thinking about this, and then remembering the conditions she had mentioned before, the smile on Zhang Family’s face quickly vanished.
Tong Tiehu said to make her offer, and when she really did, he slapped it down hard.
Ha.
Recalling Tong Tiehu’s reprimand, her expression turned gloomy.
Although they had earned many copper coins, they had been sunburned from being outside in the midday sun for half an hour, it was quite tough.
Having a shop front is much more comfortable.
“Sanlang, it is too hot to set up a stall like this, make a large umbrella when you go home.” The large umbrella commonly seen in the stalls in later generations was not available here. In the summer, this was a necessity.
Tong Sanlang replied with a “Yes.”
“What’s a large umbrella?” Zhang Family curiously asked.
Qiao Xiaomai explained to her, and Zhang Family listened, making an “oh” sound, without saying anything.
What did she have to say?
With the family forced to split up, she didn’t want to say anything.
When they got home quickly, the family excitedly crowded around and asked about the situation, and Zhang Family now smiled again.
The previously discouraged Tong Xingda immediately regained his spirits. He called Tong Dalang, Tong Erlang and Tong Sanlang, and the four of them went to the river to catch loaches and snails again.
They would sell as much as they could for a few days.
This time, with the help of Tong Dalang and Tong Erlang, the four of them brought back a water tank full of creatures by the evening.
After dinner, Tong Sanlang heated water for bathing.
This time he heated three pots, because many people needed to bathe today.
Once the heating was done, he was about to scoop hot water into the bathtub when Zhang Family appeared at the kitchen door, “Sanlang, come here, I have something to say to you.”
Tong Sanlang looked at her, a little confused, “What’s wrong?”
“Come out and I’ll tell you.” Zhang Family said and turned to walk outside the compound.
Seeing this, Tong Sanlang followed her.
When they reached the entrance of the compound, Tong Sanlang asked, “Mother, what’s the matter?”
“What is the relationship between Xiaomai and Prince Wei, really?” Zhang Family began, “When you two got married, he even sent so many dowry gifts, and today I saw Xiaomai being very pleasant with him, he…”
Before she could finish, Tong Sanlang coldly interrupted her, “Mother, do you know what you’re talking about?!”
“What did I say?!” Zhang Family couldn’t help but slap him, “You silly boy, I’m thinking for you! Xiaomai is your wife, she married you out of necessity because of my illness, you…”
“Enough!” Tong Sanlang’s voice was as cold as ice, “Mother, don’t say these things again, let’s split up tomorrow.”
Leaving this word behind, Tong Sanlang walked towards the courtyard.
His lips were tightly closed, his back was straight, and his fists were tightly clenched.
Was this really his mother…
