Chapter 419: Final Results ( 1 )
Six years later, the border trade city in Nanjiang.
During the bloomy spring season, the clusters of pink and tender cherry blossoms that were planted on both sides of the road in the city, like clouds, adorned the new border trade city and made the city full of spring.
A carriage stopped in front of the NO.1 restaurant in the border trade city — Tianshang Ju Restaurant. A young master dressed in a small green robe with a dark blue silk sash tied around his waist and a piece of suet white jade hanging on the silk sash jumped out of the carriage, causing passers-by to look at and praise in their hearts: what a beautiful child.
The child was only five or six years old, with a round face and excellent look and dark and clear eyes, but he pretended profundity to clasp small hands behind him and looked up at the signboard of Tianshang Ju Restaurant with his head held high, frowning slightly, learning to look like an adult and shaking his head thoughtfully: ” I don’t expect the branch here to be more magnificent than Jinling City’s.” 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚
Snap... the back of his head was called a palm.
” Child should behave like a child, what role are you playing?” Then the young woman getting out of the carriage was unbearable and thinly denounced.
The young master turned his eyes and said, ” Only your adults are allowed to pretend, why don’t you let me do. I have practiced this expression in the mirror for a long time”.
Although he was lamented in his heart, his face was immediately changed into a smiling face with big and innocent eyes. He said, ” Mom, do you think my two godfathers there? If we now go in, will it scare them to be silly?”
” It is unlikely to be silly, however, you have to get handkerchief ready.” Another young man who was pretty handsome stepped out of the carriage, holding two look-alike babies, one left, one right, whose faces were pink and tender like the newly released small glutinous rice ball, slowly said.
The young master heard these words and jerked. He quickly covered his meaty face with a look of fear.
Every year his two godfathers returned back to Jinling, they would kiss his face as soon as they saw him, which made his face coated with saliva. It didn’t matter if big godfather kissed him, because big godfather was too handsome beyond words, even more handsome than his father, and wouldn’t kiss up endlessly, not more than three times. But the enthusiasm of little godfather was too much, especially since last year he had grown a beard. He said it was called “masculine”. Shit masculine, the bristly chin hurts him.
The beautiful young woman took a look at the man and took a little girl from his arms, held her in her arms, and said, ” Don’t frighten him.”
The man raised his eyebrows and said, ” I tell the truth, right? Son.”
The young master nodded repeatedly and then said with relief: ” However, I have sisters this year, and I think it can help me.”
” There’s no way. How tender your sisters’ skin is! They can’t stand their eating, you still stand it yourself!” The man gently pinched the girl’s small nose in his arms, his eyes full of sweet, completely ignored his son’s grievance.
” Dad, you are too eccentric.” The young master frowned indignantly.
Who hadn’t been tender? He had been eaten by everyone since he was as young as his sisters. How came I didn’t see papa react as he did, to the contrary, it seemed he was happy. Hum! Dad was not fair.
Looking up to sky, the young woman couldn’t do anything with the funny two, speechless.
Her son was simply a elf. He liked to play the role of an adult at an early age, behaving like an adult and speaking in adult’s tone. His action was too elder to bear.
As for the elder one, it was very difficult for me to force him to be serious. However, as soon as the two daughters were born, he was not serious as usual.
She was now most afraid of listening to the father-son dialogue. It happened that the two men often had long conversations and the issues discussed could surprise her.
For example, in the carriage before, the father and son were discussing whether son’s eldest uncle’s daughter would prefer to be his wife or his second uncle’s daughter.
The brat said, ” I like both of them. It’s hard to choose between them. Why don’t I marry both of them?”
The other man even said, ” Son, this is a certain difficulty! You can do it?”
This dialogue luckily wasn’t heard by Helian Xuan and Helian Jing. Otherwise they two definitely were beaten down.
Yes, the very eye-catching family were Ye Jiayao and Xia Chunyu, and their three children.
Ye Jiayao sighed helplessly: ” Go in, don’t humiliate yourself here.”
Ye Jiayao went straight to the restaurant. In such a short time, many passers-by had already stopped, because their children were really tooeye-catching.
Xia Chunyu disdainfully curled his lip and said to his son, ” Son, your mother is jealous of us.”
Xia Tianci learned his expression and said, ” She’s jealous of me.”
At the same time, he followed his mother insolently with his small hand on his back.
Xia Chunyu was shocked, he reacted in a while: ” You brat, how dare you!See how I fix you ...”
Jiang Youli was in charge of the branch of Tianshang Ju Restaurant in the border trade city. After finishing the training course, he was sent by Ye Jiayao. He was conscientious and willing to put his heart into the management of the branch. In all the branches, this one had been ranked among the top five, which was very good.
It was time for lunch, Jiang Youli took care of the kitchen in person. The quality of the food had always been the most important thing in Tianshang Ju Restaurant. Even if the guests only ordered a dish of green vegetable, he also showed his sincerity to make it. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶
The waiter came to report: ” Manager Jiang, several guests from Lotus Pavilion are calling to see you!”
Oh? Jiang Youli was slightly surprised. This was not the only-one case, but it was rare. Generally, guests would only ask to see the manager if they had problems.
” Is the food not to their taste? Or is there something wrong with the reception?” Jiang Youli asked cautiously.
The man replied, ” I see they eat happily. It shouldn’t be these problems.”
Jiang Youli relieved and went upstairs to Lotus Pavilion.
The decoration style and elegant name of rooms here were as same as in Jinling’s Tianshang Ju Restaurant.
The same is true for the main course system, which was only slightly adjusted according to local tastes.
Jiang Youli knocked at the door and entered without looking at what the guests looked like, bowed down and said, ” I am the manager here. May I help you?”
Ye Jiayao chuckled and deliberately slowed down, ” I have ordered the dish named crap leaping into Dragon’s Gate in Jinling’s Tianshang Ju Restaurant. It seems that your dish here is not the same as in there. Is this place a branch of Tianshang Ju in Jinling?”
Jiang Youli smiled and said, ” Yes, this is, exactly. As for the tiny difference in taste, you don’t know it, but we have slightly changed it according to the taste of the people here. People in Huaiyang prefer sweet taste, but the people here don’t like it too sweet and greasy, so ...”
Jiang Youli said, suddenly felt something was wrong. How familiar this woman’s voice! He raised his head unconsciously, immediately dumbfounded.
Uh ... Was he dazzle? The couple in front of him was definitely the second lady and the Heir-son Lord!
” The ...the ... second lady?” Jiang Youli stuttered, unexpected.
Ye Jiayao laughed: ” Jiang, long time no see!”
Jiang Youli’s eyes were full of tears, excited! He had also been here for four and a half years and had never been back to Jinling. Although life here was still satisfactory, he was homesick, he missed people living in Tianshang Ju Restaurant in Jinling. And now the second lady suddenly appeared here. How could he not be ecstatic?
Everyone sat down and talked for a while. Jiang Youli gradually calmed down before he remembered: ” Mr. Su and Mr. Zhao said you would come back this year, but they didn’t know when you would come, but they said that if you came, you would certainly come here first. So they let me report in time, and I am going to tell them now.”
Xia Chunyu said with a smile, ” No, you’ll take us there later.”
I had to give them a big surprise when I came here from a long distance.
Ye Jiayao inquired, ” Are Master Helian, Master Jing and Xia San here?”
Helian Xuan went to Ximeng with Naya years ago, Helian Jing returned to Nanyue with Ah Ruan. As for Chunfeng, he was guarding Chuanxi, while she and Chunyu travelled all the way to enjoy the world’s delicacies and made the final revision for her culinary classics.We had an appointment that it was about this time that we came to the border trade city to meet.
Jiang Youli replied, ” I have not heard of it, but if they come, they will certainly come over for dinner.”
Xia Chunyu said, ” It seems that we are the first to arrive.”
Then the whole family got back into the carriage and headed for Zhao Qixuan’s other courtyard here under Jiang Youli’s guidance.
On the way, Jiang Youli said: ” Almost 50% of the two main streets in this city, south and north, are paved by Mr. Zhao, while 20% are owned by Heir=son Lord, Xia San and Master Jing. Mr. Zhao and Mr. Su are the real overlords here.”
Xia Chunyu and others were now walking along the north-south street. According to a rough estimate, there were two or three hundred shops in this street, and there were at least five hundred together. Zhao and Su accounted for more than half of them, who were really cool. They couldn’t help but said loudly: ” These two guys have rich financial resources! They are damn rich.”
Riding with Xia Chunyu, Xia Tianci looked around and asked, ” Where are my 28 shops? Where are they?”
Xia Chunyu frowned. ” I don’t know. Ask your godfathers.”
After a change of thoughts, he said, ” Tianci, you see how many pavements your godfathers own. How about you work harder to get another 20 or 30 shops?”
Tianci disapprovingly said: ” I don’t know about the 28 shops, but I can’t push them off and accept them reluctantly. I’ll make a lot of money by my own, Dad. We’ll see. I will certainly be better than you and godfathers in the future.”
Xia Chunyu laughed: ” Good boy, promising, worthy of your father’s son ...”
Tianci disdained, it was who just asked me to get 20 or 30 pavements by cheating?
