The shopkeeper took a sip of wine and said, "Your idea of marrying your daughter to Third Brother Ye's son might actually work out. Miss Qingtian, don't dream about it."
"Ah? What do you mean, boss?"
The shopkeeper felt that he had said too much, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "I just said it casually, it's nothing serious.
"This dish made by Madam You is really delicious. Come on, don't just drink, eat more."
After eating and drinking, the shopkeeper was helped back by the waiter, and Wang Ge washed up casually and returned to his room.
The two children had already been coaxed to sleep by Lin Yumei.
Lin Yumei was still waiting for him with candles lit.
"How's it going? Did you tell the shopkeeper that I want to stay here for a while?"
"Don't worry, the shopkeeper is very easy to talk to. He agreed as soon as I mentioned it."
Lin Yumei felt relieved when she heard this. She didn't want to go home and face her mother-in-law alone.
If she couldn't stay at Linglong Pavilion, she would have no choice but to shamelessly follow Mrs. Ye back to the countryside to stay for a few days.
"But since you live here, it won't be that convenient to go to the countryside to prepare a banquet, right?"
“The banquets for which I paid deposits have almost been prepared. There are only two left. They are not too far away. I can just take a car and go there.
"Sister Hongyun said that she won't accept too many banquets before the New Year. One reason is that she's worried that Madam You will be too tired and it will affect her participation in the cooking competition.
"Secondly, I want to whet the appetites of those people in the capital. If I agree to order a banquet for everyone, it will become worthless after a while."
"It seems like learning cooking is a good idea!" Wang Ge said with emotion, "Young Master Qin said that our building block business can only last until the New Year.
"By the end of the year, others will have developed imitations, and ours will be worthless."
"It's already very good, don't be ungrateful. If it weren't for Third Brother Ye's support, you wouldn't even be able to earn the money you earned before the New Year!"
"That's right. When I get my wages, we can discuss it. While we're still in the capital, we can buy some decent New Year's goods. Then we can go to the Ye family to pay New Year's greetings early on New Year's Day."
"Don't worry, do you really need to remind me?" Lin Yumei said, "No matter whether you get your wages before the New Year or not, we have to buy something presentable to celebrate the New Year with the Ye family. I have already prepared the money."
The couple talked for a while and then fell asleep.
When Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye San returned home, Mr. Ye saw that they were empty-handed and asked curiously, "Why didn't you bring any food this time? I didn't even go grocery shopping today because I thought you would bring something to eat!"
"There aren't many dishes today, so I shared some with Yumei and Yueying and didn't bring any back." Sister Ye said, "We have cabbage, potatoes and everything at home. Go buy some tofu and I'll make a potato, cabbage and tofu soup.
Roast some dried chilies in the pit at the bottom of the stove and eat them hot, which is also very good.”
"Okay, then I'll go buy some tofu." Boss Ye felt a little greedy after hearing what she said. The family hadn't eaten this dish for a long time.
When we were living outside the Great Wall, this was the dish we ate most often in winter at home because there was really nothing else to eat.
At that time, everyone was full and I lost my appetite just by looking at it.
But now I haven’t eaten it for almost a year, and I still miss it a little.
"Sunny, do you want to go out with Dad to buy tofu?"
Qingtian shook his head repeatedly, reached out to pull Mrs. Ye's clothes, and followed her into the kitchen.
Boss Ye sighed, it turned out that daughters are still closest to their mothers!
Mrs. Ye took Qingtian aside and told her to sit still and not get near the fire.
She cut some pork belly slices and sautéed them in a pot, then poured in the cabbage and potatoes and stir-fried them for a while, added water, and covered the pot.
Boss Ye quickly bought the tofu.
"Luckily, I was quick on my feet, and only these last two pieces were left.
"As I was walking back from my purchase, I saw some people from the village going over to buy tofu."
Mrs. Ye opened the lid of the pot, held the tofu in her hand, cut a few lines horizontally and vertically, and the tofu fell into the pot piece by piece.
"It smells so good!" Qingtian said, looking into the pot.
"Has Qingtian ever eaten this dish before?" Boss Ye asked casually.
"I've seen it, but I've never eaten it. I usually only eat pickles."
Qingtian shook her head. She spoke calmly and without any emotion, but it made Boss Ye and Sister-in-law Ye feel heartbroken.
When Mrs. Ye thought about how her beloved daughter had suffered so much in the Shan family, she hated herself for not thinking of bringing Qingtian home to raise her earlier.
Mrs. Ye looked up and glared at Boss Ye, wondering why he asked such a question.
Ye Lao Da also realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly picked up Qingtian and said, "We have to wait a while before we can eat. Dad will take you out to buy some candy."
Ever since the incident in Wang Fugui's family, Liu had to raise the children alone and could no longer run the grocery store, so she sold it to another family in the village named Wang Jindou.
Boss Ye carried Qingtian to buy things, and Wang Jindou and his wife Yan were busy in the grocery store.
"Brother Wang, Sister Wang, are you busy?"
"Hey, Brother Ye is here, please come in, what do you want to buy?
"These are all new goods we just bought from the city today, and my husband and I are just putting them on the shelves!
"Look, these are all good things."
"Wow, there are quite a lot!" Boss Ye became excited when he saw it.
"It's the twelfth lunar month now, so we want to buy more goods so that it will be more convenient for the villagers to buy them!"
"That makes sense. You two know how to do business." Although Boss Ye had some different opinions in his heart, he still praised them on the surface.
Although Rongxi Village is a bit remote compared to other places in Fengle County, you can basically make a round trip in one day whether you are going to the county town or the capital to buy things.
