Boss Ye brought his men to the store first. It was still early and there were only a few customers in the store.
A dozen strong men came in mightily, startling Cao Yuelian who was greeting customers in the store.
If she hadn’t seen Boss Ye following behind, she would have almost thought that these people were here to collect the upfront payment[Note 1].
"Mrs. Cao, please help arrange for everyone to sit down first." Boss Ye said, and went straight to the kitchen to find Mrs. Ye.
"Wife, Boss Cheng is here with the people from the martial arts school. He said he wants to treat everyone to dumplings. Do we have enough?"
"How many people are here?" Mrs. Ye asked hurriedly.
"Sixteen or seventeen!" Boss Ye said a little embarrassedly, "I should have known not to invite them over."
"What's the big deal? We have noodles and vegetables, so it won't be long before we can wrap dumplings!" Mrs. Ye said, "Okay, don't worry about it. I know what I'm doing.
"But you, haven't gone to pick up Qingtian yet?"
As soon as he heard the word "sunny day", Xiao Ye, who was lying on the ground and wagging his tail leisurely, stood up suddenly and ran to Boss Ye, whining incessantly.
"Don't worry, even if I forget myself, I can't forget my daughter!" Boss Ye said to Sister Ye, "Please take care of things in the store first. I'll go get Qingtian."
Mrs. Ye followed Boss Ye out to the shop in front.
She had met Boss Cheng before, and was introduced to others by Boss Ye, and everyone greeted her.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
"I've always heard Brother Ye talk about my sister-in-law along the way, and now I finally get to see her!"
"That's right! If Brother Ye hadn't been worried about my sister-in-law getting hurt, we would have seen her a long time ago!"
“This time we finally know the location of the store. We will come here more often to take care of my sister-in-law’s voice in the future.”
Mrs. Ye has basically trained herself well now and can greet guests with ease.
"I told him after he came back that we had been out darting together for such a long time and he had been taken care of so well, so shouldn't he come to my house for a meal?
“It’s a rare occasion that everyone is here today, so feel free to eat whatever you want.
"It's our own shop, why would we need Boss Cheng to treat us?"
Upon hearing this, Boss Cheng quickly said, "That won't do. Master Ye has already treated everyone to a meal.
"Before we came here, we agreed that today is my treat.
"If sister-in-law doesn't accept the money, I will take my people away now."
“Sister-in-law, you don’t have to save money for Boss Cheng!”
"That's right, we're here just to eat him!"
Mrs. Ye was just being polite, so after hearing this, she said, "Okay, then you guys sit down for a while.
"I'll serve you some cold dishes and some wine. The dumplings are already cooking and will be ready soon."
The weather is not hot now, so the cold dishes are prepared early in the morning.
Four plates of cold dishes, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, along with two jars of wine, were quickly served on the table.
Only then did everyone realize that Boss Ye had disappeared.
"You guys eat first. He's gone to pick up his daughter. He should be back soon."
Upon hearing this, Boss Cheng said, "The daughter of Mr. Ye is very popular. If any of you have a son, you must establish a good relationship with him."
When Mrs. Ye heard this, she quickly said, "Don't mention this, or he might turn against you right away.
"My daughter is the apple of his eye. He'll get angry with anyone who thinks about her!"
After hearing what Mrs. Ye said, everyone laughed.
"Brother Ye is a man who loves his wife and daughters."
"That's right. When we were in Taiyuan Prefecture, almost everything Big Brother Ye bought was for my sister-in-law and the children."
While everyone was talking, Boss Ye had already brought Qingtian back.
As soon as they entered the room, Boss Ye started introducing everyone to Qingtian one by one.
This one is called Uncle Cheng and that one is called Uncle Lu.
After several people introduced it, everyone started to stop.
"Brother Ye, I'm dizzy after listening to your introduction. How can a child remember it?"
"That's right, stop making things difficult for the child."
Boss Ye suddenly became proud and said, "My daughter has a very good memory. Just watch, she can remember everything I introduced!"
When Mrs. Ye saw that he started showing off her daughter again, she turned around and went back to the kitchen to help.
Soon, I heard screams coming from the store in front.
"Sunny, what's my name?"
"Uncle Zhao."
"What about me?"
"You are Uncle Jiang."
Everyone asked questions in a shuffled order for a long time until the steaming hot dumplings were served on the table, which finally made them stop this childish game.
"Brother Ye, sister-in-law, your daughter is really smart!" Lu Yiping gave a thumbs up and praised.
"Stop teasing the child and try the dumplings while they're still hot!" Mrs. Ye said as she took Qingtian from Mr. Ye's arms and took her back to the backyard.
Only then did Boss Ye take the time to invite everyone to eat dumplings and vegetables.
At this time, customers began to arrive in the store.
The few remaining tables were soon filled, and people kept coming in from outside.
Some people were too lazy to wait when they saw there were no seats and just turned around and left.
Some people would rather stand at the door and wait just to have a bite of the dumplings.
"Business at my sister-in-law's shop is booming!"
Everyone found that things seemed different from what they had thought before they came.
"We just said we were here to take care of the business, but I didn't expect..."
"It seems that my sister-in-law's cooking skills are really good!"
"Then why don't you guys start eating!" Boss Cheng had already eaten several dumplings himself. Seeing that the others were still busy drinking and talking, he couldn't help but say, "Don't blame me for not warning you. Don't blame me for eating all the dumplings myself and not leaving any for you later."
