Chapter 606 Shock
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu let Li Xi rest at home for a while, and then took him to eat hotpot at Suibian Hotpot.
When we went there, it wasn't too late yet, but the shop hall was already crowded with people.
The people in the queue took their number plates and sat in their seats under the guidance of the waiter.
Although there seemed to be many people in the shop, everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
Zhang Juexia nodded with satisfaction, which showed that Shen Liang and Hutong were very concerned about the shop.
She thought to herself that it seemed she had to give them both a chicken drumstick.
"Boss Chu, what a coincidence, you're here for hotpot too."
"Hello, Shopkeeper Li, what a coincidence! I just arrived in Qingfeng City today and heard from my friends there that there's a new hot pot shop that's open there, and they say the food is delicious.
My friend went through a lot of trouble to get a number!"
After Chu Jinnian finished speaking, he noticed Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia standing beside him, "Brother Ye, hello, Madam Ye!"
Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia had been staring at Chu Jinnian while he was talking to Li Xi. When they heard his voice, they quickly greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Brother Chu!"
"Hello, Mr. Chu!"
"well!"
Chu Jinnian asked Ye Beixiu with concern, "Brother Ye, what's your license plate number?"
Ye Beixiu shook his head, "We don't have a license plate."
Chu Jinnian's friend was worried. "Without the number plate, you might not be able to eat hot pot today. You don't know that I had my servant wait in line for two days just to get this number plate."
Chu Jinnian pulled his friend aside. After a brief exchange, he approached Ye Beixiu and said, "Brother Ye, I just discussed with my friend that we can have a meal together using this number plate! It's my treat today!"
Before Ye Beixiu could reply, Shen Liang saw Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia and quickly trotted over to meet them.
"Master, Madam, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came? I could have gone to the door to meet you."
Chu Jinnian's friend knew Chen Liang. When he saw Chen Liang speaking so politely to Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia, he knew that their identities were not simple.
Zhang Juexia smiled and looked at Chu Jinnian, "Boss Chu, how about you join us for dinner today?"
Shen Liang also said very discerningly, “Everyone can go to the backyard, where there is a private room I prepared specifically for the master and the lady.”
Zhang Juexia pointed at the number plate in Chu Jinnian’s friend’s hand, “Chen Liang, what should we do with this?”
"That's easy. You guys go eat first, and I'll have the waiter do what this gentleman wants."
"Then let's go!"
Although Chu Jinnian and his friends had countless questions in their minds, they still followed them to the single room in the backyard.
After everyone was seated and introduced themselves to each other, the waiter started serving the dishes.
Chu Jinnian's friend Wu Yiming then asked Ye Beixiu, "Brother Ye, are you familiar with Manager Shen of this hot pot shop?"
Ye Beixiu nodded modestly, "I guess so!"
Wu Yiming has been doing business in Qingfeng City for many years. He rubbed his hands happily when he heard Ye Beixiu's words. "That's great. If I want to bring my friends to Qingfeng City for dinner next time, I can skip the queue if I mention you."
“That should work!”
Wu Yiming immediately picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother Ye, I'll drink first as a toast. You can drink as you please!"
He just tilted his head back and drank the glass of wine. Zhang Juexia was worried that Ye Beixiu would drink it in one gulp like Wu Yiming, so he quickly glanced at Ye Beixiu.
Ye Beixiu picked up the wine glass with a smile, took a sip, and asked them to pick up their chopsticks and eat.
"Everyone, hurry up and try this hot pot!"
The meal was a great success for both the host and the guests. Li Xi, rubbing his full belly, said to Zhang Juexia, "Boss Zhang, this hot pot is really delicious. You should go back to Shunhe County and open another one!"
The chopsticks in Chu Jinnian and Wu Yiming's hands fell to the ground at the same time.
Wu Yiming reacted faster than Chu Jinnian, "Brother Ye, Mrs. Ye's hot pot shop was actually opened by you."
After saying this, he slapped his forehead in frustration, "It's just that I'm careless. I should have noticed the respect that Manager Shen showed to you two just now."
Chu Jinnian found it incredible, "Brother Ye, Madam Ye, you are truly amazing!
When I first met you, I remember you only had a shop in Jinshui Town, right?"
"Brother Chu is right, it is indeed like that."
After listening to what Chu Jinnian and Ye Beixiu said, Wu Yiming was extremely impressed by Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia, and insisted on having another drink with them.
Ye Beixiu took a sip and put down his glass before he slowly said, "In fact, the fact that our business has grown so big is all thanks to my wife.
I've been busy preparing for the military imperial examinations lately and haven't had time to take care of business."
When Wu Yiming heard Ye Beixiu mention the martial arts imperial examination, he put the wine glass in his hand on the table and said, "It's right, it's finally right.
People outside also spread the rumor that the owner of the hot pot shop was a juren, and that the juren's wife and Old Madam Shen were close friends.
This is the first thing that has been confirmed. What is being spread outside is true.
As for the second thing, I think it's just a rumor. Madam Ye is so young and beautiful, how could she be a close friend of Madam Shen? "
Zhang Juexia chuckled after hearing what Wu Yiming said. "Boss Wu, who said there's an age requirement for best friends? We're best friends only if we can talk about anything. If we say we're best friends, then we're best friends."
"You and Madam Shen are really best friends!"
"That's fake!"
Wu Yiming shook his head, feeling that there was too much information in his head today and he felt a little dizzy.
Chu Jinnian was not in a much better condition. Today he was nothing but shocked, secretly glad that he had made the right bet this time.
For some reason, ever since he entered the territory of the Great Zhou, he had an idea in his mind, which was to meet Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia in person and have a good chat with them about business matters.
Fortunately, I met them. Both of them are remarkable people. Now Ye Beixiu has become a juren, and Zhang Juexia's business ideas are always so novel and surprising.
Seeing that everyone's faces were flushed from drinking and their mouths were a little uncontrollable when they spoke, Zhang Juexia quickly said, "Today, let's just talk about the past and not about business. We can talk about it tomorrow when everyone is sober."
Shen Liang had also finished his work in front. When he came in, Zhang Juexia pointed at Li Xi and said to Shen Liang, "Shen Liang, Manager Li is old after all, and he has been running all day today. You should have someone take him downstairs to rest!"
The boy outside heard the noise and ran in. Shen Liang told him, "This is Shopkeeper Li. Please serve him well."
