Ye Zhiqiu offered incense and kowtowed, and then Ye Zuze arranged for him to burn some paper. After everyone took turns to offer incense, they returned to the dining room and began to arrange for the food to be served.
"Chengyun, try this pigeon soup. It contains a lot of good ingredients and is very good for your health."
"Seventh Brother, try this barbecued pork. The chef at home used to be a famous chef in Guangzhou. His barbecued pork is especially delicious."
"Seventh Brother, do you want to eat shrimp? I'll turn it over to you..."
It was my first time eating here, and we didn't follow the rules too much. Everyone knows the current situation in mainland China, where people are really short of food, so after a glass of wine, everyone enthusiastically let him eat.
Ye Zhiqiu was not polite and tried everything. After half a meal, his appetite surprised his brothers and sisters.
Seeing that everyone was a little surprised, he knew that it was because he ate too much that they were a little surprised.
So he smiled and explained, "Ever since I was little, my diet has lacked oil and water, so my appetite is particularly large. Plus, I served in the army for two years, and with all the training, my appetite has reached this ridiculous level. In fact, I'm only 60% full."
Li Wenhui said sadly, "It's really hard for you, Chengyun. Zuxin is such a bad father, making you suffer so much."
Ye Zuze sighed and said, "Alas, it's no wonder that Old Four is so cautious. He's a cautious person and can't do anything in troubled times. He's just not smart enough, otherwise it wouldn't have taken us this long to get to know you."
Ye Chengye asked, "Seventh Brother, why don't you all move over here? The environment back home is not good right now, come and help Big Brother with his work!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm dating someone, but she might not be willing to come here with me, so I still want to stay in the capital."
After hearing Ye Zhiqiu's words, no one said that he was sentimental. After all, they still respected his ideas.
However, Ye Zuze said, "Chengyun, if you want to stay in Beijing, I won't say anything. After all, you have a partner there. But your parents and brothers and sisters should move here. You have a share in the family business, so your branch should also participate."
Ye Zhiqiu said in surprise, "Second uncle, my parents are ordinary people, how could they manage a business? You guys are managing it well, so why don't we join in the fun?"
Ye Zuze shook his head and said, "That won't do. If you don't know how to do it, you can learn! After so many years, I don't know if your father has grown up astray. As the second brother, it is my responsibility to teach him well!
Also, for better future development, you should come and live here. I can't bear to see you suffer over there."
Ye Chengye quickly said, "Okay, that's settled. I'll talk to the contact over there and see if they can arrange to have Fourth Uncle and his family sent over!"
After hearing what Ye Zuze said, Ye Zhiqiu didn't know what to say. After all, the decision was still in Ye Tianya's hands. If he was willing to move, he naturally had no objection.
Things won’t be easy in China from now on, so it would be a good idea to go to Hong Kong first. It will be fine after the return anyway.
After drinking quite a bit of wine, it was clear that Second Uncle had taught these brothers and sisters very well. They were all very enthusiastic and very tactful. They didn't show any bad attitude towards Ye Zhiqiu, a poor relative.
While drinking slowly, Ye Chengye and his brothers began to talk about their experiences so that Ye Zhiqiu could understand more.
Ye Zhiqiu naturally also talked about his life experience. When he heard that he got a job in the city by hunting rabbits and pheasants and getting Chen Yimin drunk with his drinking ability, he did so.
Ye Zuze said happily: "As expected of a child from our Ye family, he has a very flexible mind!"
Ye Chengye also smiled and said, "Seventh Brother is really good. He can seize the opportunity when he encounters it. With a brain like yours, you can make it anywhere."
Ye Zhiqiu said happily, "I was lucky to have met a good elder. Later, I even became his apprentice and learned some cooking skills."
Ye Chengxuan said happily: "Oh, Brother Qi has learned to cook? I like cooking too! Let's cook together when we have time and learn from each other."
Ye Zhiqiu happily replied, "Ninth sister actually loves to cook. I'll teach you a few dishes then. My master has learned from several famous chefs, and I've learned a lot of unique seasoning combinations from him."
Ye Chengyue smiled and said, "That's a good idea. I love to eat. When the time comes, you two, Lao Qi and Lao Jiu, will be in charge of cooking, and I'll be in charge of tasting!"
The family laughed and discussed, and asked about Ye Zhiqiu's specialty. When they heard that he liked to cook spicy dishes, everyone in the family was quite interested.
Jiangxi people love spicy food, a culinary tradition that dates back to the mid-to-late Qing Dynasty, so everyone in the Ye family loves spicy food. Ye Zuze, in particular, needs to have a few spicy dishes with him every day.
In fact, the climate and soil in Hong Kong are not suitable for spicy food, but even though he is prone to getting angry, Ye Zuze cannot change this taste.
When Ye Zhiqiu heard that his second uncle liked spicy food, he smiled and said, "Tomorrow I'll make a few dishes for him. These are all dishes that I came up with theories about and developed with my master and his disciples. Although my master's fellow disciples are also promoting these dishes, you probably haven't tasted them before."
Ye Zuze smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait and see. I'm also a little curious about the cuisine in Beijing. My family's chefs are two masters of Jiangxi and Guangzhou cuisine, so I haven't eaten much northern cuisine."
While chatting and laughing, everyone decided to have dinner together tomorrow night.
In fact, due to work, only Ye Chengye and Ye Chengfu went home every night, while the others usually lived near their workplace. After all, driving back and forth every day would take nearly two hours, so there was really no need to rush home for dinner every day.
After dinner, everyone went to have tea together. Everyone was very curious about the lives of Ye Zhiqiu and the others, so they asked many questions about their lives.
In fact, they don't really understand it. After all, things like quota, household registration, and composition are too difficult to explain.
My second uncle and eldest brother, who had contact with people in China, knew what was going on, but they didn't explain too much to them.
The saying "a dog does not despise a poor home, a son does not despise an ugly mother" can also be applied to those who live away from home. Regardless of the family's condition, those who have a sense of identity will not be affected by the domestic situation and will help when it is necessary.
It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that Li Wenhui brought the servants, took the new clothes made for Ye Zhiqiu, and led him to a room on the second floor.
