"Judging from your accent, you're not from here, are you? Where are you from?"

The proprietress came and was in the mood to chat. She didn't bother to greet the customers and just sat down on the chair next to her.

"I'm from outside the Great Wall," said Sister Ye, "but my husband's hometown is in a village near the capital, so I followed him here."

"Oh, from outside the customs." The proprietress's tone obviously changed.

But Mrs. Ye was completely unaware of this and was still chatting happily with the proprietress.

Although Mr. Cen didn't interrupt, he kept listening attentively while taking care of Qingtian's meal.

After going around in circles for a while, the lady boss finally asked what she wanted to know the most: "So what kind of dumplings do you plan to sell in your shop?"

This time, Elder Cen finally seized the opportunity and spoke first, "What other fillings can dumplings have? Aren't there only a few common ones?"

"That's true..." The proprietress said a little embarrassedly, and stood up and said, "Then you guys eat, I'll go get busy first."

"Okay, go ahead and do your thing." Mrs. Ye was still polite to them. "When my place opens, I'll send some dumplings over for you to try."

After lunch, when he returned to the shop, Mr. Cen couldn't help shaking his head.

"You really aren't cut out for business. I think you need to find someone to look after this shop for you. Otherwise, you might not even know how you got ripped off."

"Ah? What's wrong?" Mrs. Ye was confused. She just went to eat a bowl of noodles, so how could she think that she would be cheated?

"Do you think the lady boss next door is just chatting with you because she has nothing to do?" Old Cen raised his hand and nodded at her. "Just wait and see. She'll definitely start selling dumplings by tonight at the earliest, or tomorrow at noon at the latest!"

"Ah?" Mrs. Ye was shocked, "That's not the case, is it?

"That lady just now seemed like a nice person!"

"Then you just wait and see!" Old Cen knew that it was useless for him to say anything now. Only when Mrs. Ye saw it with her own eyes could she learn from her mistakes.

After lunch, Mr. Cen took Qingtian back for a nap, while Mrs. Ye continued to clean the shop and waited for Mr. Ye to deliver the furniture for the kitchen.

It was almost dark when the person finally arrived.

Two carriages loaded with furniture slowly stopped in front of the shop.

"Sister-in-law!" Ye Laosan jumped down from the cart. "I'm so sorry. The carpentry workshop has a lot of work today, and it delayed us. I'm sure you must be anxious waiting for me."

Wang Ge got out of the second car, said hello to Mrs. Ye, and began to untie the ropes and prepare to unload the goods.

"Don't worry, I'll go with you." Ye Laosan also came to help.

Mrs. Ye also came out of the house to lend a hand.

As soon as she came out, she caught a glimpse of the proprietress from next door looking over here curiously.

"Oh, did you buy furniture?"

"This is my brother-in-law. He made it and sent it to me."

"Can you guys move it?" the proprietress said, turning back to her shop and shouting twice, calling out her husband and son, "Come out and help."

Mrs. Ye felt warm at heart after seeing her action, and thought that Mr. Cen had made a mistake this time.

How could such a kind-hearted elder sister do something like what he said?

"Don't bother. You still have to run your business. We can just move it slowly ourselves."

"It's not dinner time yet, and no one's eating in the house. With more people, more hands, we can finish it quickly."

With the addition of the noodle shop owner and his son, Mrs. Ye no longer needed help, so she stood aside and chatted with the boss's wife.

"Sister, what's your name?"

"My husband's last name is Lu, you can just call me Madam Lu." The proprietress was very straightforward in both her personality and her speech.

"My husband's surname is Ye, and mine is You. You can call me Sister Ye or Madam You."

Soon, everything in the car was moved into the kitchen.

In order to thank the Lu family for their help, Mrs. Ye decided to take care of their business. After cleaning up the kitchen, she took Ye Lao San and Wang Ge to the noodle shop next door, intending to invite them to have dinner there.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Mrs. Ye stepped into the noodle shop, she heard Mrs. Lu's voice greeting the guests: "Sir, please come in. There are still empty tables inside. We have added new dishes today. We have dumplings that were just made this afternoon. They are cooked and eaten right away. Do you want to try them?"

Mrs. Ye's steps into the room suddenly stopped, and she raised her leg to look at her in disbelief.

"Mrs. Lu, how come I didn't know when your family started selling dumplings?"
