Anyway, the entire open space was surrounded by people in three layers, as if all the people in Fengle County had gathered here.
If Cen had not asked Meng Yu to wait outside long ago, and had not led Mrs. Ye in from the back when he saw her coming, Mrs. Ye would not have known whether she could squeeze in.
Mrs. Ye was brought in. The four brothers of the Ye family exchanged glances, picked up their children, and began to find ways to squeeze to the front.
Boss Ye held Qingtian in one hand and blocked the others with the other hand to clear the way ahead.
Ye Lao Er held the twins in each hand and told Ye Changrui to follow him closely. He then rushed in while the crowd behind Ye Lao Da was still gathering.
Ye Laosan bent down and picked up Ye Changnian. Before he could ask his other son to follow him, he saw Ye Changxue had already slipped into the crowd like a loach.
"Hey, don't run around. What if you get lost?" Ye Laosan couldn't stop that naughty boy Ye Changxue, so he could only carry Ye Changnian and catch up quickly.
Ye Laosi looked around and found that only Wang Hao and Wang Ping were left by his side.
So he picked up Wang Hao and said, "Hold my neck tight."
Then he turned around and said to his two sisters-in-law, "Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, follow third brother, I will cover your retreat."
Sister-in-law Ye San pulled Sister-in-law Ye Er and went in, saying, "It has to be Sister-in-law Ye San who still knows how to take care of us.
"Look at those two idiots in front. They've already forgotten their wives."
But in the blink of an eye, Wang Ge and Lin Yumei found that the Ye family had disappeared from their sight. Even their son was carried away by Ye Lao Si, leaving only their daughter Wang Ping by his side.
Wang Ping watched helplessly as her friends disappeared one by one in the crowd, and even her brother was taken away.
She was so anxious that she grabbed Wang Ge's clothes and said, "Dad, let's go quickly!"
"Here we come, let's go!" Wang Ge quickly bent down, picked up his daughter, and squeezed into the crowd with Lin Yumei.
In the process of squeezing in, everyone was still separated. Fortunately, when everyone squeezed to the front, they soon saw each other.
So everyone started moving sideways again, hoping to get together.
But because there were so many people, others started to have opinions.
"Hey, what are you guys doing crowding around like that?"
"Exactly. I don't know where they squeezed in, and now they're walking around like crazy. There are so many people here, can't they just stand still?"
Upon hearing this, Boss Ye apologized repeatedly: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, someone in my family is participating in the competition, so I wanted to bring the children over to watch."
When everyone heard that they were here to see their family, they weren't so angry anymore.
Someone immediately told them, "You've come to the wrong place. Do you see that place across the street? Family members can go there to watch. It's much better than here."
Only then did Boss Ye realize that there was an area on the opposite side that was not so crowded. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was an area that was specially cordoned off.
"Hurry over there before it starts!" said the kind-hearted old man next to him.
"Okay, thank you very much." Before Boss Ye finished speaking, Meng Yu saw them and hurried over.
"Brother Ye, why are you guys here? I just sent Madam You in and was about to go out to take you there, but who knew I wouldn't be able to find anyone when I went out again."
"We had no idea that Mr. Cen had made such thoughtful arrangements. We were just busy squeezing in."
Boss Ye thanked the old man again, then asked everyone to lift the rope and go in, and followed Meng Yu to the opposite side.
As soon as they got through, many of the onlookers who didn't know their identities started to make a lot of noise, and they were eager to get in to get a closer look.
The officers rushed over to maintain order.
"They are Miss You's family members. They just went to the wrong place. Of course, we have to take them over so that they don't have to stay here and compete with you for space, right?"
"Alright, alright, stop making trouble! If the county magistrate comes out and sees you guys making trouble, I won't be able to stop you!"
The common people have a natural fear of officials, so the little disturbance just now was quickly quelled.
At this time, Mr. Cen was already standing on the platform that had been temporarily set up facing north.
He saw it clearly when Mrs. Ye was brought in by Meng Yu.
However, in order to maintain fairness and avoid gossip, Mr. Cen did not go over to greet Mrs. Ye.
There were dozens of earthen stoves in the venue, and the name of the contestant was placed on each stove.
Mrs. Ye's seat was at the westernmost end of the second row, very close to where Boss Ye and the others were. I don't know if it was a deliberate arrangement by Mr. Cen.
There are two large tents on both sides of the platform. The entrance is now sealed tightly and no one knows what the mystery inside is.
Mrs. Ye quickly familiarized herself with the stove, firewood, and seasonings. There were no ingredients on the table, and she didn't know what dish to cook.
After she became familiar with all the situations, other contestants who were going to participate in the competition also began to enter.
More than half of the dozens of earthen stoves were soon occupied.
Mrs. Ye looked around. The only people she recognized among these people were Xu Lei, the owner of Yanbinlou, and Zhang Chuanlu, the chef, with whom she had previously clashed.
Mrs. Ye later heard from Lin Yumei that the two men were from the south, and she didn't know why they chose Fengle County, a small county, to open such a large restaurant.
However, due to its high-end decoration and excellent service, as well as its dishes that included both northern and southern styles and tasted quite good, it quickly became famous and took over the business of many other restaurants in the county.
Mrs. Ye saw them, and the two of them naturally saw Mrs. Ye as well.
