It was almost past lunch time at this time, and the number of customers in the restaurant gradually decreased, so Mrs. Ye did not go back to the kitchen.
She asked curiously, "Then why did Mr. Zhan ask you to come here? To go to the government office to find someone to arrest them?"
"Well, for such a small matter, how could the government in the capital arrest anyone?" Ye Lao Er said while eating, "Mr. Zhan probably knows the situation himself.
"He spoke so harshly in front of the Wang family father and son, but actually told me behind their backs to take the letter he wrote to the Ministry of Agriculture and give it to them.
"As for what was in the letter, I don't know."
"It would be great if you could come over. Your wife has been very busy lately and is still worried about the family. If you come over, it would probably comfort her."
As they were talking, Ye Ersao came back from outside with her people.
Today she went to the home of the Minister of Rites and made clothes for his wife and two daughters.
Although Madam Lu had spoken very boldly before, asking customers to come to the store to measure their sizes and pick up clothes.
But the actual operation is still full of difficulties.
The biggest problem is that Ye Ersao does not have her own store yet.
Whether in a dumpling restaurant or a restaurant today, there is a feeling of "living under someone else's roof".
The most important thing is that places like dumpling restaurants and restaurants are crowded and messy, and are not suitable for wives of officials and ladies from wealthy families to come here to get their clothes tailored.
So now Ye Ersao has specially arranged for an embroiderer to come to the house to take measurements, and then she brings another embroiderer who is very skilled in sewing to deliver the clothes, so that if there is anything inappropriate, it can be modified on the spot.
The place she went to today delayed her for quite some time.
The main reason was that the wife of the Minister of Rites had lost some weight recently, so the waist and other parts of the clothes were not suitable.
Ye Ersao and the embroiderer worked together at the Minister of Rites' house for a long time before they finished revising it.
The two finally finished their work and returned to the restaurant. As soon as the embroiderer got out of the car, she shouted, "Oh, I'm starving. I wonder if Madam You left any food for us."
She hadn't felt it on the road before, but when she got off the car and smelled the fragrance wafting from the restaurant's kitchen, and listened to the embroiderer's words, Ye Ersao suddenly felt her stomach was empty, and even started to growl.
Mrs. Ye heard the noise in the house and hurried out to the embroiderer, "Keep it, keep it. No one will forget you!
"The food I left for you is in the back kitchen cabinet. Go get it yourself. If it's cold, ask someone to heat it up for you."
After Ye Dasao finished speaking to her, she waved to Ye Ersao and said, "Come in and see who's here!"
Mrs. Ye Er thought it was Madam Lu or someone who came to her to make clothes, and she didn't expect it to be Ye Lao Er, so she was frightened when she entered the house.
"Hey, why are you here? Don't you need to take care of the crops in the fields?"
If it were normal times, Ye Lao Er probably wouldn't be able to see anything.
But because of what Mrs. Ye said before, when he looked at his wife again, although he said so, his face was actually full of surprise.
Ye Lao Er swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and said, "The crops in the fields won't be affected by a day or two. They will still grow even if I'm not at home.
"I came to see you and deliver a letter for Mr. Zhan."
When Mrs. Ye heard this, her eyebrows raised in shock, but the corners of her mouth also rose involuntarily.
Good boy, you finally know how to say a few nice words to make your wife happy.
So she quickly said, "Sister-in-law, you haven't eaten yet. You must be starving. Come sit down and eat with the second brother. I'll go cook you some food."
After saying this, Mrs. Ye slipped away.
She can't stay here and get in the way.
Sure enough, after seeing Mrs. Ye go out, Mrs. Ye's face gradually turned red, and her voice became much softer than usual.
"I'm staying at my eldest sister-in-law's place, so why should you worry?" Second sister-in-law Ye said with a smile, "But it's good for you to come over. I've made seasonal clothes for you and the children in my free time recently.
"It gets cold earlier in the countryside than in the city, so you can take it back first."
Ye Laoer became a little anxious when he heard her say this.
"Didn't you say you'd be busy all summer? From what you're saying, you won't be able to go back in the fall?
"My sons miss you so much that they rush to tear off the calendar every day, hoping for the beginning of autumn so you can come home!"
Ye Laoer used his sons as an excuse and was too embarrassed to say that he also wanted a wife.
"We can go back before the beginning of autumn!" Ye Ersao said with a smile, "The popularity of that dress is almost over now.
"There hasn't been any new business lately. Once I finish these two sets of clothes, I'll be able to go home.
"Autumn harvest is such a big thing, how can you do it all by yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lao Er quickly said, "I'm not looking forward to your return home just to have you work in the fields!
“Besides, Mr. Zhan said that he would send people to help us harvest the crops.
"Especially the best plot of land, even if we wanted to interfere, they wouldn't let us!
"He said that there will be someone specifically assigned to harvest, dry, and thresh the crops. Every step will be weighed and recorded. There can't be any ambiguity!"
"Ah?" Now it was Ye Ersao's turn to be surprised. "Didn't they send us a lot of fertilizer before? And now they're helping with the autumn harvest? How could such a good thing happen in this world?"
Before Ye Ersao finished her words, she heard a voice coming from outside the door: "It seems that the crops in your fields must be growing well. This is considered a strong contender for this year's grain king, so the Sino-Agricultural Department is putting so much effort into it."
Before he finished speaking, Prince Rui and Qingtian walked in.
Ye Lao Er and Ye Ersao immediately jumped up from their stools and looked at Prince Rui awkwardly. For a moment, they couldn't remember how to salute him.
Fortunately, Qingtian broke the awkward deadlock as soon as he spoke.
"Second uncle, when did you come?"
"My dear, Uncle hasn't seen you for a while. Have you grown taller?"
Ye Lao Er first responded to Qingtian's words, and then he recovered and saluted Prince Rui and said, "I greet your Highness."
"No need to be so polite." Fortunately, Prince Rui was not the kind of person who would pick fights. Instead, he was more interested in his family's crops.
He went straight into the house, found a stool to sit down, and asked in detail about the situation on the Ye family's land.
Last year, there was a severe drought outside the Great Wall, and the land was also flooded by dragons.
Not only did the harvest fail, but the imperial court also had to use its stored grain to provide disaster relief.
Unfortunately, this year the south was hit by floods, which had a significant impact on the crops.
The local petition for disaster relief has been sent to the palace.
The emperor and the ministers in the court have been worried about this matter recently!
If the Ye family’s crops really grew so well, they could win the title of Grain King.
Not only will the emperor receive a huge reward, but it will also boost the depressed mood in the court and the country.
