Just when Ye Lao San and Brother Wang were busy making building blocks, Ye Dasao finally came to Cheng Mansion in the capital accompanied by Lu Hongyun to prepare for the banquet the next day.
The Cheng family is related by marriage to the Qin family, and Mrs. Cheng has a good relationship with Mrs. Qin, so the servants of the Cheng family are quite kind to Mrs. Ye and her group.
The manager brought people to arrange accommodation for them, and after putting their things down, he took them to the kitchen.
The menu has been confirmed in advance. Except for some fresh ingredients that need to be purchased tomorrow, the ingredients at Cheng Mansion are basically ready.
After checking everything and finding no problems, Mrs. Ye confirmed with the kitchen manager of the Cheng residence the time she needed to start the next day. She familiarized herself with the layout of the kitchen and rearranged the seasonings around the stove according to her own habits.
The steward was very impressed by Mrs. Ye's serious attitude. After accompanying her out of the kitchen, he said, "If you have nothing else to do this afternoon, you can leave the house through the east corner gate. I've already told the doorman, and he'll let you in when you come back."
"Thank you so much." Mrs. Ye didn't have anywhere to go, but she thought that Mrs. Ye San and Lin Yumei would definitely want to go see Ye Lao San and Brother Wang.
As expected, the two were very happy when they heard that they could go out. They originally planned to wait until tomorrow after the banquet and then go to meet him before leaving and going home.
But then the time would be too tight, far worse than today, which would take an entire afternoon and evening.
"Sister-in-law, will you come with us?" Sister-in-law Ye San invited.
"What am I going to do? You guys go quickly and remember to come back early and don't cause trouble for others."
After the two of them went out, they asked around and found Linglong Pavilion.
Looking at the high-end and imposing storefront, both of them hesitated, fearing that they would be kicked out if they went in, and also afraid that if they rushed in rashly, they would bump into the customers who were shopping inside.
The doorman saw the two of them lingering at the door and went over to ask, "What's up, sisters-in-law?"
Lin Yumei quickly said, "Let's go find someone."
"Who are you looking for?" the waiter asked.
"Looking for Ye Lao San and Brother Wang..."
The waiter asked, "Who are you two?"
"I'm Ye San's wife, and this is Wang Ge's wife." Ye San's wife asked hesitantly, "Are they both here?"
As soon as the guy heard the identities of the two people, his attitude immediately became enthusiastic.
"So it's my two sisters-in-law. Third Brother Ye and Brother Wang are here with us. Please wait a moment, I'll take you there."
The clerk turned around and said hello to the store, then came back and took the two people straight to the backyard of the store.
The two men followed the servant to the main hall in the backyard and found that only Brother Wang was painting the building blocks in the room.
When he noticed his wife coming over, he quickly put down what he was holding and stood up and asked, "Why are you here? What happened at home?"
"Pfft, stop being such a badass.
"Everything is fine at home. I came to the capital with Madam You to prepare a banquet. I'll come to see you this afternoon when I have time."
"Madam You? Oh, you mean Sister Ye!"
Hearing his wife joining the people outside in calling out "Miss You", Brother Wang was stunned for a moment before realizing who she was talking about.
Lin Yumei asked on behalf of Sister Ye San: "Why are you alone? Where is Third Brother?"
"The shopkeeper called the third brother over and said he wanted to settle the bill with him and figure out how many more boxes of building blocks he needed to make before the New Year."
Lin Yumei perked up when she heard this and asked, "Are they selling well?"
“It should be pretty good, we’ve been busy making building blocks every day recently!
"Young Master Qin hired someone to do the other processes, so my third brother and I only need to be responsible for making the box and painting it, so the process is much faster."
Lin Yumei was delighted to hear this and said with a smile, "I came here with Madam You to prepare the banquet this time. I can get one or two taels of silver for my work alone. As long as nothing goes wrong, the host will definitely give me some more money before I leave. I estimate that I can take home at least two or two taels of silver.
"This was something I couldn't even imagine before. I could earn so much money in just two days.
"Besides, Madam You has already received three orders for banquets in the capital before the New Year. Add to that the others, if I work hard before the New Year, I might be able to earn ten taels of silver."
Hearing his wife say this, Brother Wang immediately felt a sense of crisis again.
Don’t look back and think that you have been making building blocks in Beijing for more than a month, but in the end you don’t earn as much as your wife. That would be too embarrassing.
Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the building blocks he had just put down and started painting.
"Hey, you, I finally came here, but you're just busy playing with building blocks. Can't you just talk to me properly?"
Although Lin Yumei said this, she had already pulled over a small stool and sat down. She skillfully handed him the things he needed, and then muttered about the trivial things that had happened at home in the past few days.
The couple instantly created an aura that no one else could interfere with.
Mrs. Ye San simply went out quietly and stood in the yard waiting for Ye Lao San to come back.
At this time, Ye Laosan was in a daze in the shopkeeper's room.
Because what the shopkeeper just said really shocked him.
The shopkeeper understood his feelings very well, so he smiled and didn't disturb him, drinking his tea in small sips.
After a long while, Third Brother Ye asked in a daze, "Boss, how much did you say for a box of building blocks?"
"Twenty taels of silver." The shopkeeper repeated with a smile, "In fact, if we pretend that these building blocks were brought back from the West, we can sell them for even more.
