Chapter 129: Fresh Food Rules
The old beggar snorted coldly: "I am not that kind of villain. I am here to protect the stewed food shop."
He turned to Lin Chengye and said, "Since I have protected your shop with my life, can you give me five more braised chicken legs?"
Lin Chengye: "...I have already given you five, the remaining chicken legs are for other guests."
The old beggar looked regretful.
He Yuanming and the coachman went to the clinic. Such a big thing had happened, and someone went to inform the He family, but no one from the He family came here.
He Yuanming looked very unhappy when he left.
After the braised food was sold out, Lin Chengye and Zhao Sanxi were about to close the shop and go home, but the old beggar refused to leave.
"I am homeless, please take me in!"
"I am not a beggar. I just encountered some hardships and was separated from my servants, which put me in such a miserable state."
Ye Peng looked at him: "Master He compensated you with ten taels of silver, which is enough for you to stay in the inn for a long time."
Ye Pingan: "You clearly have the money to stay at the inn, but you still want us to take you in. Tell me, do you have any secrets that you cannot tell anyone?"
Lin Chengye: "You look very unfamiliar to me. Are you a criminal who escaped from somewhere?"
Zhao Sanxi was startled: "Criminal? Send him to the authorities, send him to the authorities quickly."
Old beggar: “…”
The old beggar ran away in shame.
Ye Peng looked at his back and said to Ye Pingan and the others, "This man's origin is unknown. He was hit by a carriage and flew so far at his age, but he still had so much energy. I'm afraid he is not an ordinary person. When he comes to buy braised food in the future, keep an eye on him. If he does anything strange, report him to the police immediately."
Lin Chengye nodded vigorously: "Well, Uncle Ye, don't worry, I will be careful."
Ye Pingan looked at the direction the old beggar left and said, "I always feel that this old beggar is not a good person."
The old beggar found an inn to stay temporarily, took a bath, changed his clothes, and in an instant he turned from a dirty beggar into a tall and very imposing old man.
His hair was gray, but he looked energetic and didn't look like he had been hit by a carriage at all.
The old beggar asked the waiter to bring a table of delicious food into his room and said, "That father and son are quite interesting. They are really strong."
The old beggar was eating, but he was thinking about Ye Peng and his son in his heart.
"If my son were still alive, he would be about the same age as that man!"
"It's a pity that my son did not inherit my divine power."
"The food in this restaurant is really bad, not as good as Ye's braised food."
The next morning, Lin Chengye and his wife came to the shop. Before they entered the door, they saw the old beggar queuing outside. He was the first one in line.
The old beggar changed into clean clothes, washed his face, and looked full of energy, completely different from yesterday.
If the old beggar had not called out to Lin Chengye, Lin Chengye would not have been able to recognize the person.
"Boss Ye..." the old beggar said with a smile.
Lin Chengye interrupted him: "My last name is not Ye."
The old beggar looked at the shop entrance and said, "Ye's Braised Food, right? Aren't you the boss?"
......
Ye Tang arrived at the county town early in the morning. Baiwei Fresh had just opened, and although there were not many goods for sale, business was very good because of the tasting and trial activities held.
As soon as the door opened in the morning, many customers came.
"I was the first one to see this peony soap. Who do you think you are to dare to snatch it from me?" As soon as Ye Tang entered the room, he heard a sharp and arrogant voice.
Ye Tang looked up and saw the place where handmade soaps were placed. A luxuriously dressed woman was fighting with a maid for a piece of peony-scented soap.
That was the last bar of peony soap in the store today.
"What do you mean you saw it first? It was obviously me who saw it first." The maid argued: "There were so many flower scented soaps around and you didn't choose one. You insisted on grabbing the one in my hand. That's too much!"
The woman was followed by a nanny and two maids. They surrounded the maids and snatched the soap from her hands in no time.
The woman took the soap from the nanny and said, "If you haven't paid yet, it's not yours."
The maid was outnumbered and could not defeat them, so she turned around and questioned the guy in charge of the handmade soap area: "Is this how you do business at Baiwei Fresh?"
The clerk looked at the woman in embarrassment and said, "Madam, this girl was the first one to see this soap. She was just about to pay for it when you came."
The woman didn't care: "If she hasn't paid, it's not hers. Aunt Zhang, pay and go."
The nanny behind her immediately took out some change and handed it over.
The waiter didn't answer. He frowned and said, "Customers who come to Baiwei Fresh Food must abide by the rules of Baiwei Fresh Food. You can't snatch or cut in line... Those who don't follow the rules, please leave."
He snatched back the soap and gestured for invitation.
The woman and her servant were startled, and the maid also looked incredulous.
This was the first time they had seen a businessman doing business like this.
"You are just a small fellow, and you dare to offend this lady..." The woman was very angry. Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a voice.
"What happened?" Ye Tang walked over.
The waiter and the maid's eyes lit up when they saw her. They walked over quickly. The waiter bowed first and explained, "Boss, this is what happened. This girl liked this peony soap. Just as she was about to pay for it, Madam He came and forced her to buy it without explanation. I remembered your teachings that business must be fair and just, so I did not sell the soap to Madam He."
He was clear and organized, without a trace of timidity, and looked at Ye Tang with extremely respectful eyes.
"Mr. Ye, you guys have done nothing wrong. It was indeed me who saw this soap first. I bought it for my young lady." The maid also said.
Ye Tang knew this maid. She was Caidie, the second-class maid serving Su Yanyun.
"So you are the owner of Baiwei Fresh." Madam He came over and said, "I am the mistress of the He family. It is an honor for this soap to be favored by me."
Ye Tang smiled and said, "It's just a piece of soap, it doesn't know what luck is. I want to ask Madam, is what my servant and Miss Caidie said just now true?"
Madam He didn't expect that Ye Tang, who was so young, dared to speak to her like this even though he knew that she was the mistress of the He family. She was very dissatisfied and looked unhappy: "So what if it's true?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I can't sell this soap to you. Everything depends on first come first served. Miss Caidie came first, so the soap was sold to her first. Only when she doesn't want it, it will be your turn." Ye Tang said slowly.
Mrs. He widened her eyes: "Aren't you afraid..."
"Even if the wife of the prefect is here, we have to follow the order of first come first served. Oh, by the way, Miss Caidie is very low-key and didn't tell us whose maid she is. I will tell you that she is a maid in the prefect's family."
Mrs. He's expression suddenly changed: "Prefect?"
Caidie snorted coldly: "My young lady taught me not to bully others in public, so I didn't say anything, but you, an old woman, are so unreasonable and insist on snatching things from me."
Mrs. He's arrogance disappeared immediately: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were a servant of the prefect's family?"
Caidie sneered: "Why should I tell you, we all come to Baiwei Fresh to buy things, so what's the difference between high and low status?"
Ye Tang: "The customers who come to buy things from me are all of the same status."
Caidie pointed at Madam He and said, "You bullied me when I didn't tell you my family background. Now that you know I'm a servant of the prefect, you don't dare to bully me anymore? You bully the weak and afraid of the strong, come and grab from me, keep grabbing! Bah!"
Madam He couldn't stand this kind of humiliation. She pointed at Caidie and said "you you you" for a long time. Suddenly, she smiled flatteringly: "Miss Caidie, I was blind and didn't recognize the real talent. Don't be angry. You were the first one to see this soap, so it's yours. I won't fight for it. I have something else to do. I'm leaving first."
After she finished speaking, she fled with her nanny and maidservants.
Caidie rolled her eyes at their fleeing backs, then said to Ye Tang with a smile: "Boss Ye, it's great to see you here. I was just about to pay you a visit."
Ye Tang asked: "What's the matter?"
Caidie took out an invitation from her bag: "My young lady is getting married, please come and have a drink at the wedding."
