The next morning, when Boss Ye woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
He rubbed his aching forehead and turned over.
The maid who had been waiting in the outer room heard the sound and quickly pushed the door open to help him wash and change his clothes.
Boss Ye said he was so scared that he took several steps back and almost tripped over the bed.
He stumbled and asked, "Who are you and why are you in my room?"
The maid smiled and said, "Master Ye, your servant Xiao Cui, your mistress asked me to wait here and wait for you to get up."
Xiao Cui showed the clothes in her hands and said, "Your clothes from yesterday have been washed, dried and ironed. Let me help you change."
Boss Ye grabbed his clothes, hugged them to his chest and said, "No, no need, I can do it myself."
Seeing that he was really resisting, Xiao Cui did not force him and said, "Then you should change your clothes first. I will go and prepare your morning toiletries.
"There's some hangover soup prepared for you on the stove in the back kitchen. I'll have someone bring it over."
"Okay, okay, go ahead." Boss Ye didn't care what Xiao Cui was going to do. He just wanted to send her away quickly so that he could put on his clothes.
Seeing that his face was red, Xiao Cui smiled, turned around and went out, closing the door for him.
Boss Ye finally had time to check his clothes and found that his inner clothes were still his, neatly dressed. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Now he remembered what happened last night. When he thought about how he slept so late in the general's mansion, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He quickly put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out.
In the outer room, Xiao Cui had already prepared toiletries for him, and there was a bowl of steaming soup on the table.
Boss Ye went forward and put the handkerchief into the basin to soak it, only to find that the water in the basin was warm.
He wrung the handkerchief half dry, raised his head and covered his face with it. After a while, he sighed comfortably and then wiped his face vigorously.
"I drank too much last night and slept until now. It's really rude."
"Master Ye, don't worry. The general specifically instructed us not to disturb your rest before he left today.
"The general also left you a message, saying that he would ask someone to clarify the matter you mentioned and then give you an answer.
"The general also said that you can stay in the mansion to rest today, or you can go back to the Cen Mansion if you want.
"I'll contact you as soon as I have definitive information from the general."
"Okay, I understand." Boss Ye nodded gratefully.
He finished washing up, and the hangover soup was almost warm enough to drink.
He picked up the bowl and drank it all in a few gulps.
The hot hangover soup slid into his stomach, instantly making him feel much better.
"Okay, tell your general that I'll be back at the shop. If you need anything, just send someone to find me."
"Master Ye, there's no need to rush to leave now. It's almost time for lunch. Madam has already instructed the kitchen to start preparing, so it should be ready soon. Why don't you stay and eat before leaving?"
Boss Ye originally wanted to go back to the shop directly and eat something for lunch.
But when he heard that everything was almost done, he had to stay for a while longer. After lunch, he drove away from the general's mansion.
When he drove back to the backyard of the dumpling restaurant, Yan Fei heard the sound and ran over to check.
Seeing it was him, Yan Fei hurried forward, reaching out to take the reins and whip, saying, "Master, you're back."
Boss Ye jumped off the cart and said to Yan Fei, "I'll do it myself. At this hour, if you're not in the store greeting customers, how can you still have time to come to the backyard?"
This time of day is the busiest time in the store, which is why Boss Ye asked this question.
Upon hearing this, Yan Fei asked in surprise, "Master, have you forgotten what day it is today? I thought you came back today to watch the cooking competition!"
"Cooking competition?" Boss Ye was stunned when he heard this. He hadn't fully recovered from his hangover yet, and asked groggily, "The cooking competition has already started? Why haven't I heard Qingtian's mother mention it?"
"Where is she? Has she gone to the competition yet?"
Thinking of this, Boss Ye suddenly became anxious.
"Where is the competition? Who's going with her? I'll be there right away!"
"Master, please don't be anxious." Yan Fei only then realized that Boss Ye was not in a good state, and quickly said, "It's not Madam You who is participating in the competition today, it's Madam Zhou.
"Today is the first day of the cooking competition. Miss Zhou drew lots and was selected to participate in the competition this afternoon. Miss You brought Miss Qingtian to help her."
When he heard that it was not Mrs. Ye who was going to participate in the competition, Boss Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Look at you, kid. You couldn't even speak clearly at first. You scared me into breaking into a sweat."
Yan Fei quickly continued, "Because there is a cooking competition today, the dishes made by the participating chefs will be shared with the onlookers.
“Everyone who has free time in the city basically goes there to join in the fun.
"So at noon today, there were no customers on our street. It was very quiet!"
Ye Laoda was in high spirits after hearing this and got back on the carriage road. "Wherever they are, I'll go over and join in the fun. If I can see them, I can even pick them up later."
"It's in the open space in front of the City God Temple. If you want to go, hurry up, otherwise there will definitely be more and more people..."
Before Yan Fei could finish his words, he saw Boss Ye turning around and preparing to leave. He quickly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Sir, if you drive there now, I'm afraid you'll be stuck two streets away."
