Without waiting for Mrs. Ye to say anything, Mr. Cen, who had just entered the room, agreed immediately after hearing this.
"Okay, it's just a chicken, what's there to discuss? If Qingtian likes it, just keep it."
As he approached, he saw Mrs. Ye's red and swollen eyes and asked in surprise, "What happened to you? Were you bullied?"
"No..." Mrs. Ye couldn't think of an excuse for a moment.
Then I heard Qingtian say loudly: "Grandpa, my mother missed my father last night and wanted to cry."
Mrs. Ye's face suddenly became hot and turned redder than her eyelids.
"No, I..." She was about to explain when she saw Qingtian looking up at her with an expression that said, "Did my mother lie to me last night?"
Mrs. Ye had no choice but to accept it.
"We've never been apart for so long. I do miss him a little bit."
"Hey, it's a good thing that you two have a good relationship. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
But since it was a matter between a young couple, Mr. Cen was too embarrassed to ask further questions and quickly changed the subject, asking, "The dumpling restaurant is opening in a couple of days. Have you decided on a name? I'll have someone make a sign."
"Let's call it Youji Dumplings." Mrs. Ye was asked by Wang Ge yesterday, and she felt that she should make use of the fame she had accumulated from organizing banquets.
Mr. Cen nodded in agreement and said, "That's good. When we open other stores in the future, we can all use the name Travel Notes."
"I was worried about whether I could run this dumpling restaurant well, but you're really thinking long-term."
"You can't trust yourself, but you can't trust me?"
Mr. Cen had never considered that the dumpling restaurant's business would be bad. He said confidently, "Just prepare more motherwort. I'll ask the people from the farm outside the city to send fresh pork over early in the morning, so that we can sell enough dumplings on the first day."
The day before the dumpling restaurant was about to open, the entire Ye family rushed over from the countryside.
Firstly, I wanted to congratulate you, and secondly, I wanted to come and help.
Even the motherwort sent from home had been picked clean by everyone at home long ago.
After lunch, Second Sister-in-law Ye and Third Sister-in-law Ye helped First Sister-in-law Ye wash vegetables, chop vegetables, and mince meat in the kitchen.
Mrs. Lu from next door heard the sound of chopping things over here and couldn't help but curl her lips and said, "New shop owners are really arrogant. They have been chopping for a long time and they still haven't finished chopping. How many dumplings do they really think they can sell!"
Boss Lu pulled the quilt over his head and said in a muffled voice, "You should learn from them. Go chop the vegetables and meat!"
"Why should I go to work while you continue to take a nap?" Mrs. Lu said unhappily.
"Who told you to sell dumplings?" Boss Lu rolled over. "It's all so much extra work for no reason. If you don't do it, who will?"
Madam Lu said unhappily, “When the dumplings were selling well these past two days, I saw that you were also very happy.
"Why do you start blaming me as soon as you start working?
"Want to make money but not work? There's no such thing as that!"
Although she said this, Mrs. Lu still got up and went to the kitchen to start preparing.
But what Mrs. Lu didn't know was that the reason Mrs. Ye chopped so much dumpling filling was not to sell them all in the store.
Mr. Cen had already made arrangements and asked her to make more dumplings today and give one to each family who had attended the banquet before.
Although I can't guarantee that all the food will be delivered to the owner, I can still attract some customers.
The next morning, before Mrs. Lu got up, she heard the people next door chopping vegetables again.
"Is this going to stop?" Madam Lu jumped up in anger. "Did you feed all the stuffing I chopped yesterday to the dogs? I'm not even going to sleep!"
Boss Lu said directly: "Then you should get up and get ready!"
Mrs. Lu put on her clothes and went downstairs. Looking at her husband and son who were still sleeping soundly, she went into the kitchen angrily.
As she prepared her things, she heard the constant knocking sounds from next door.
Thinking that his own dumplings sold well yesterday, he prepared twice as much dumpling filling as the previous two days in a fit of anger, intending to give the neighbor a good competition.
"It's just dumplings, the ones I make are not necessarily worse than yours!
"It just so happens that your business is opening, maybe you can bring more customers to my house!"
The more Mrs. Lu thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and she became more excited about chopping the dumpling filling.
Even when the auspicious time arrived and she heard firecrackers from next door, she no longer thought it was noisy. Instead, she felt that they were attracting business for her family.
