Chapter 127 Why hasn't the Duke of the State come yet?
In early November, all the peppers were harvested, and seasonal vegetables such as cucumbers and tomatoes were gone.
Ye Tang asked Lu Hao to drive the big yellow ox to plow the small vegetable garden and plant other seasonal vegetables.
Plant radishes, cabbages, Chinese spinach, etc., plant a little of each and pick whatever you want to eat from the small vegetable garden.
Zhao Dongji came to learn how to make mutton noodles from Ye Tang. Ye Tang gave him money and the recipe and let him open a mutton noodle restaurant in the county town.
It was too much for one person to run a noodle shop, so his wife Sun Xiaoyu also went with him. The two children were left at home to be taken care of by the two elderly people and Zhao Sanxi.
Since we already have a noodle restaurant, we must also have a noodle workshop. Otherwise, if we want to sell mutton noodles, we have to make the flour and noodles ourselves, which is troublesome and time-consuming.
Ye Tang then went to find someone to build a noodle workshop, making all kinds of noodles, including sweet potato flour, potato flour, rice flour, fine flour, etc.
After a while of hard work, the Baiwei Fresh Food Store was renovated, and the new houses of Liu An, Ye Peng and Hong Longfei were also built. The house built by the three of them was not big, so it didn't take long to build. After drying it for ten or twenty days, they could move in.
The wedding date of Zhao Sanxi and Lin Chengye arrived. Lin Chengye rented a small courtyard in the county town. On the wedding day, he borrowed the big yellow ox cart from the Ye family and brought Zhao Sanxi from Wenggang Village to his house in the county town.
The banquet was also held in a house in the county town. The venue was not large and not many people came, with only eight tables of guests.
It was also on the day of Lin Chengye's wedding that Ye Ping'an reached an agreement with him to hand over the braised food shop to Lin Chengye for management, and 30% of the money earned would be given to the Ye family. The shop was bought by the Ye family, and Lin Chengye would pay rent quarterly. If he had enough money to buy the shop in the future, the shop could be sold to him.
The Ye family no longer does the braised food business. To be more precise, they no longer only do the braised food business.
Because Baiwei Fresh will open in mid-November.
Chili peppers, handmade soap, sugar, tofu, vegetables, braised food and other items will be introduced into Baiwei Fresh.
He Yuanming, the young master of Tianyu Restaurant, felt a headache when he saw the Baiwei Fresh Restaurant was about to open.
"We just left Jixian Restaurant, and here comes Baiwei Fresh. What exactly does Baiwei Fresh sell?" He Yuanming took a deep breath and said, "This is the restaurant opened by Doctor Xiao and his wife."
Since the introduction of Ye’s braised food, tofu and other items, Tianyu Restaurant’s business has been getting better and better, and has even surpassed Tingxuan Restaurant.
The sound on his side was getting better and better, but there was no movement at Tingxuan Restaurant.
"Who is the owner of Tingxuan Restaurant? Isn't he in a hurry at all?" He Yuanming was very confused.
At the Xiao residence, Ye Tang felt a little annoyed.
"Why hasn't the Duke of Protectorate come yet? It's been several months!"
Tao Quan said that before the imperial edict arrived, her white sugar and handmade soap could not be mass-produced for the time being, and they could only be sold secretly and not advertised widely.
Ye Tang said angrily: "There is also a reward for catching the bandits. Where is the gold? I didn't even see a shadow. Your brother is really unreliable."
Xiao Yi and the bandit were both beheaded, but the bounty has not come yet, which makes her very angry.
Jamel Xiao, who was eating melon seeds on the side, looked innocent: "The bounty was not given by my brother."
"As for rice and potatoes, didn't you say there would be rewards after handing in these two things? Where are the rewards?" Ye Tang asked again.
So much time has passed, and there is still no progress on the rice and potatoes issues.
"The sweet potatoes will be harvested in a few days. Does your brother still want some?"
If she hadn't thought that if the people were well fed, the Yuan Dynasty would be strong, and when war came, it would have the strength to fight back, so that she wouldn't be affected by the war for the rest of her life and could live a carefree life, she wouldn't have bothered to care so much!
Ye Tang just wants to be a selfish person. The reason why she grows so many things is not for others, but to make herself live comfortably. Well, that's it.
"Of course we need sweet potatoes." Xiao Jingxuan comforted her, "Don't be angry. If you get angry, no one can help you. Didn't my brother say that the old Duke of the Protectorate rushed to deliver the imperial edict in order to travel around? It will take two or three months for him to arrive. Let's wait a little longer. He should be here soon."
Ye Tang frowned: "Could he have been assassinated while having fun? He killed so many enemies and made countless contributions. Such a general is the most envied."
“That shouldn’t be the case, right?” Xiao Jingxuan frowned slightly, “How about I ask my brother to send someone to pick him up?”
"Just send him. Why ask your brother to send someone? Don't tell me you don't have anyone available." Ye Tang had an expression that showed he had already seen through Xiao Jingxuan.
Jamel Xiao smiled, and finally compromised: "Okay, I'll send someone."
Ye Tang's smile instantly brightened: "Since you are so well behaved, I will make you something delicious."
Jamel Xiao was very energetic: "What's delicious?"
"Spicy strips."
Half an hour later, Jamel Xiao walked out while eating a bag of freshly baked spicy strips.
At the gate of Wutong County, an old beggar with messy hair and tattered clothes approached the gate with a hunched back and weakly, holding a long box in his hands.
"Where did the beggar come from?"
The soldiers guarding the city stopped him and asked, "What's your name, where are you from, and where are you going?"
Wutong County no longer charges a city entrance fee, but one must register when entering or leaving the city gate, and those who lie about their identity will be thrown into jail.
The old beggar raised his head and said, "My name is Shangguan... Shangguan. I came from Lincheng to Wutong County to look for someone... I encountered robbers on the way, and I was separated from my servants. My money was robbed..."
As he finished speaking, his stomach began to growl and his bearded face looked even more miserable.
The officer registered him and let him in. Looking at his bleak figure, he shook his head and sighed, "He is a poor man."
Another officer said: "No matter how pitiful he is, we can't be careless. After all, we are close to Fuso. It would be bad if Fuso thieves sneaked in."
They now have an extra prince here. If the Fuso bandits come to assassinate the prince, the prince will be gone and the entire Wutong County will suffer a disaster.
After the old beggar got away from the officials, he immediately regained his spirits. He took out a chicken leg from his arms and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
"I'm starving. I only have one chicken drumstick left. I'll go to a restaurant after I finish eating."
He looked around: "What should I eat?"
He stopped a passerby and asked, "Little brother, let me ask you, what delicious food is there in Wutong County? Or are there any fun places?"
The passerby shook off his hand and said, "It's so dirty, don't touch me. There's nothing fun here, but there's a lot of delicious food. Just keep walking along this street, and in half an hour you'll see a braised food shop. The Ye family's braised food is famous in Wutong County for its delicious taste."
The passerby said this and left.
The old beggar frowned and said, "Does it take half an hour?"
