"Master Ye, it's such a long journey. You could just buy some wine, but why did you buy vinegar?"
Boss Ye scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly and said, "To be honest, my wife is a chef, and cooking is naturally inseparable from oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
"Before I came here, I heard that Taiyuan Prefecture's vinegar is very famous, so I wanted to buy some back for her to try."
"Master Ye really loves his wife!"
"I came all this way and I still want to bring vinegar back for my wife."
This time, not only the servants of the Fei family, but even the people on his side started to make a fuss.
Boss Ye's face turned red because of their coaxing.
Deng Shangwei smiled and said, "You may not know this, but Sister Ye is not just a simple cook, she's a famous chef in the capital!"
"Really? Then, after we return to Beijing, can we have the honor of trying some of my sister-in-law's cooking?"
Although it was just a joke, everyone thought that Mr. Ye would agree immediately.
After all, even if he didn't invite everyone to dinner after returning to Beijing, no one could do anything to him.
Who knew that Boss Ye looked hesitant and was reluctant to agree.
After a long while, Boss Ye said, "I need to go back and ask your sister-in-law about this. If she's free, that would be great. If not, I'll treat everyone to dinner at the restaurant, okay?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became a little cold and everyone felt a little awkward.
Especially the person who had just clamored for Boss Ye to treat him felt embarrassed and said sarcastically, "I didn't expect that Boss Ye, a hero who fought tigers, would be such a henpecked coward."
This sentence immediately made the situation even more awkward.
Deng Shangwei was about to say a few words to help Boss Ye, but he couldn't figure out how to get out of the predicament for a while.
Unexpectedly, Boss Ye said sternly: "Everyone, it's not that I, Ye, am henpecked, it's just that my wife has sacrificed too much for our family.
"During the time I was out, she not only had to take care of the elderly and children, but also had to go out and make money by preparing banquets for others.
“You might think that having a meal is nothing, but my wife might have to start preparing for it from the very beginning of the day.
“What if she has too many errands to attend banquets during this period, and she simply won’t have time to entertain everyone.
“So I have to go back and ask her before I can give everyone an accurate answer.
"But don't worry, everyone. After we return safely to Beijing, whether we go home or to a restaurant, I will definitely not leave any of you out for the celebration banquet."
