Zhang Pengjia kept his word and indeed had two tables of banquets delivered to the same hall where they had spoken in the morning.
He brought Brother Wang with him and sat at the same table with Boss Ye and Third Ye.
His daughter-in-law Huang was at the women's table, and Lin Yumei helped arrange the meal, inviting Mrs. Ye Dasao, Mrs. Ye Sansao and Qingtian to have dinner together.
After everyone took their seats, Zhang Pengjia raised his glass and said, "Third Brother Ye, I'll toast you first.
"Actually, I should have treated you to a meal a long time ago, but I've been too busy with business lately, so today I'm taking the opportunity of your family coming to see you to make up for it by treating you to this meal.
“To be honest, before you came, I never took small businesses like furniture repair seriously.
“But after you came here, I realized that no matter what business it is, as long as you do it well and meticulously, you can make a name for yourself.
"My business is so prosperous now, and most of it is thanks to you, Third Brother, so I'll drink this glass of wine first as a toast to you."
Ye Laosan quickly stood up, clinked glasses with Zhang Pengjia, and then drank the wine in his glass.
"Young Master, you are too polite."
Seeing that Ye Lao San had dismissed the other person with such a short sentence, Ye Lao Da also raised his glass and said: "Although many customers have come here recently because of my family's third brother, they must also be satisfied with the strength of the woodworking workshop.
"Before, when we were in the village, Uncle Dongkui always told us that the craftsmanship of Zhangji Woodworking Workshop was the best in the county.
“Customers are not fools. If they spend real money on furniture, they will naturally want to be satisfied before they are willing to spend money.
"So in the final analysis, it's because your family has good craftsmanship and a solid foundation. Your business will definitely get better and better in the future."
Zhang Pengjia was delighted by what Boss Ye said. He raised his glass and clinked it with his, then quickly drank another glass.
Brother Wang hurriedly said, "Come on, don't rush to drink, eat some food first.
"This is the food and wine that the young master specially ordered from the largest restaurant in the city. You can't get it easily on other days. I can enjoy it today thanks to Third Brother Ye..."
At the men's table, there were two sensible people, Brother Wang and Boss Ye, who smoothed things over. Plus, after drinking some wine, the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.
At this time, at the women's table, Zhang was also constantly praising the dishes on the table.
"This is food specially sent from the Wanlong Restaurant. It's hard to get here normally, so please don't be shy and eat more."
At the men's table, these words came from Brother Wang, so no one thought anything of it.
But when these words came from the mouth of the host Huang, coupled with her expression and tone, it was inevitable that people would feel that she was being superior and showing off.
Mrs. Ye San was already unhappy. After tasting two bites of the dish, she felt that it was not as delicious as what Mrs. Ye cooked. She lost interest and quickly put down her chopsticks.
Mrs. Ye didn't show it so obviously. She picked up some food suitable for sunny days and fed her slowly.
Lin Yumei was the only one who ate the most among the people at the table.
Huang was surprised to see this. After all, she seldom had the chance to eat at Wanlong Restaurant. She had thought that even if Mrs. Ye Dasao and Mrs. Ye Sansao didn't eat voraciously, they would definitely not be able to put down their chopsticks. Who knew they would react like this?
"What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?" asked Mrs. Huang.
"Of course not." Mrs. Ye said quickly, "I have to feed the baby first!
"The third son's wife hasn't seen the third son for a long time. Today she came to see him, but they have to be separated for a long time, so she felt uncomfortable and ate less."
Although Huang looked down on them in her heart, she also knew that her family's recent good business was all thanks to Ye Lao San, so she was still quite polite to his wife.
"Actually, if Sister-in-law Ye has nothing else to do, it would be the same if she could stay in our store.
"You saw it this morning. Third Brother Ye lives alone in the main house. There's absolutely no problem for you two to live together."
"Young Madam, you may not know that Third Sister-in-law Ye is also busy!" Lin Yumei helped to speak up, "We are both with First Sister-in-law Ye right now, preparing for the flower-viewing banquet at Mr. Jiang's house for the festival!"
"It turns out that Mrs. Ye Dasao and Mrs. Ye Sansao are also kitchen helpers!" Mrs. Huang suddenly realized when she heard this.
Almost every household in the city knew that Mr. Jiang was going to hold a flower-viewing banquet because he was looking for a chef everywhere.
So Zhang asked curiously, "Has Mr. Jiang found a chef?"
"I've found one." Lin Yumei smiled when she heard this, "Young Madam, this chef is far away, but right before our eyes. It's Madam You, also known as Sister Ye."
"Ah?" Huang couldn't hide the surprise on her face. "Is it true? Don't tease me."
"Oh, how dare I!" Lin Yumei said, "Mrs. You's cooking is delicious, and she was specially invited by the master.
"Sister-in-law Ye San usually works as a kitchen helper with Madam You, so we came to the county town together.
"Master Yuanwai is not at home today because of something, so he gave Madam You a day off, so we came together to see Third Brother Ye."
Although she knew in her heart that Lin Yumei would not lie to her, Huang still found it a little hard to believe.
You should know that when Mr. Jiang was looking for a chef, the chef of Wanlong Restaurant also recommended himself, but in the end he failed to pass Mr. Jiang's test.
This Mrs. Ye looks unremarkable, but what abilities does she have?
No wonder they have no interest in the dishes of Wanlong Restaurant. Is it because I am the chef?
After the initial shock, Huang finally regained her composure and politeness. "I didn't expect that besides Third Brother Ye having such excellent cooking skills, your family actually has a chef recognized by Mr. Jiang. You really are a hidden dragon and crouching tiger!"
