The happy little days of the Ye family

Zhang's Restaurant is located on the street of the market. It is the largest and best-selling restaurant in the town.

The most famous thing about Zhangjia Restaurant is their roast chicken.

Bai's Restaurant is located on the street of North Street. It is the second largest restaurant in the town. It has been overtaken by Zhang's Restaurant for many years.

Zhang Zikang, the owner of Zhangjia Restaurant, and Bai Shi, the owner of Baijia Restaurant, are actually brothers.

The two worked together as apprentices in a restaurant in the county when they were young. However, the two have not dealt with each other since they were young. The two have always regarded each other as their rivals.

After completing their studies, the two returned to the town and opened small restaurants. Zhang's Restaurant and Bai's Restaurant began to compete with each other more than [-] years ago.

The two of them had the same cooking skills, and the quality of their food was similar. At first, the two restaurants were evenly matched.

But soon Zhang Zikang developed roast chicken. Relying on his unique roast chicken, Zhang's Restaurant gradually developed into the largest restaurant in the town.

Although Baijia Restaurant has been developing well over the years, it has been suppressed by Zhangjia Restaurant over the years.

Baishi was crushed by Zhang Zikang for nearly 20 years, and he still couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, so he was determined to get the Ye family's roast duck recipe.

As for Ye's roast chicken, it doesn't taste as good as Zhang's restaurant's roast chicken, and he doesn't like it either.

Just as Ye's father was smiling and busy every day between the braised pork shop and the stall on North Street, Baishi also sent someone to find out the details of Ye's father.

When he first found out that Ye's father was just a small landowner in Taohua Village, Baishi didn't take him seriously.

As he inquired more and more, Bai Shi learned that the Ye family was not only a small landowner, but also owned several houses and shops in the town.

I even bought a house in Qingsong Academy in the county, and I started to take it seriously.

Although the Ye family are just ordinary small landowners in the village, they can't stand it. The members of the Ye family are all money dealers and they are all keen on making money for the family.

Mr. Ye manages dozens of acres of fields and two hills at home. He can earn more than 100 taels a year based on the output of the fields and hills.

Old Mrs. Ye also hired two women from the same village to make headbands and hairbands and sell them to the county wharf for wholesale. It is estimated that she can earn dozens of taels of silver a year.

Ye Fengshou's wife, Wang Xiu, and his daughter, Ye Qingqing, are very skilled in embroidery and can make a lot of money.

The eldest son, Ye Donglin, had earlier set up a stall selling groceries on the dock. Now he has opened a grocery store near the academy. It is said that business is very good.

Even the youngest son in the family is an expert at raising pigs. The family raises dozens of large pigs and more than a dozen sows, plus several rabbit sheds, making it a big farmer.

Thinking of Ye Fengshou's two sons, Bai Shi thought of his own useless son, and felt very jealous and envious.

Moreover, the Ye family's son-in-law Tang Xiaojing is not easy to mess with. The Tang family is also a small landowner. They also have dozens of acres of paddy fields and hills, and they also raise various livestock under the mountains.

Tangshan, on the other hand, has been an escort for 20 years, and the father and son still have many connections in the county.

The Ye family seems to be ordinary, powerless people, but they are all good at doing business, and their family property is probably richer than that of the Bai family.

Moreover, their family has purchased a house in the town's academy and the county's academy. In the future, their grandchildren will definitely take the scientific examination, and the Ye family may not be unable to become successful in the future.

For this kind of people, Shiraishi feels that if they cannot be suppressed completely, it is best not to offend them.

It wasn't until he found out that the spicy duck recipe at the Liang Family Restaurant was bought from the Ye Family that Bai Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and then murmured smugly:

"Since the Ye family can sell spicy duck recipes to the Liang family restaurant, they can definitely sell this roast duck recipe."

Moreover, the Ye family loves money, so if the price is right, Bai Shi feels that this recipe can definitely be bought.

The Bai Family Restaurant has been operating in the town for many years. Bai Shi is not short of money now, and there are no problems that can be solved with money.

Having been suppressed by Zhang Family Restaurant for so many years, now that there is an opportunity to overthrow Zhang Family Restaurant, Shiraishi will definitely not let it go.

After hearing the news about the Ye family, Bai Shi took a few banknotes and went out to find Ye's father.

The Bai's Restaurant is in the best location on North Street, and the place where Ye's father sets up his stall is in an open space in the middle of the street.

Baishi took two guys to the area where Ye's father set up his stall. However, he did not go up rashly, but silently observed Ye's father's stall from the side.

At this time, there were quite a few people at Ye's father's stall, including those buying pastries, roast ducks, hair ties, and two elegantly dressed women looking at Ye Qingqing's embroidered gold silk handkerchiefs.

Father Ye's stall is just like a grocery stall. It has everything, including food, things to use, things to play with, and even his own products.

There are more things, and more people come to the stall. There were only one or two people looking at the stalls nearby, but Father Ye's stall was surrounded by four or five people.

Shiraishi mainly paid attention to the roast duck and chicken on the stall.

Father Ye has been setting up a stall on North Street for about 10 days. People nearby also know that the stall sells roast duck and chicken, and the business is quite good.

Everyone bought them half by half. The two roast chickens and three roast ducks brought by Ye's father were all sold out in one afternoon.

In addition to roast duck and chicken, Shiraishi also noticed the water chestnut cake on the stall.

He had seen this horseshoe cake in pastry shops in the county, but he had never seen it since he came back to town.

Shiraishi was very surprised. He didn't expect to see this horseshoe cake at a roadside stall.

Shiraishi quickly asked the waiter beside him to go to the stall and buy a piece of water chestnut cake.

The horseshoe cake looks much rougher than the ones sold in the county. Although the taste is more special, it is not as good as what Shiraishi eats in the county.

But if they could buy the recipe together and make some nice printed molds, the pastry would look more upscale and match their restaurant.

Baishi was very happy. If he bought most of the recipes for roast duck and water chestnut cakes, the Bai Family Restaurant would definitely be able to suppress the Zhang Family Restaurant.

There were still many people at the stall, and Bai Shi had been standing not far away, carefully observing Ye's stall.

By the time the sun set halfway up the mountain, most of the items on the stall had been sold. After a while, Father Ye started to pack things.

Father Ye also knew that someone had been observing him. Father Ye was afraid of getting into trouble, so he started packing his things early to go back.

But as soon as Father Ye packed up the things on the stall, Bai Shi came to him.

"Boss Ye, I am Bai Shi, the owner of the Bai Family Restaurant on the street."

Father Ye's heart skipped a beat when he heard that this person was the owner of the Bai Family Restaurant.

Father Ye couldn't help but think of the people at the restaurant who wanted to buy spicy duck recipes on the pier. This was how those people introduced themselves.

"Boss Ye, the Bai's Restaurant is not far ahead. Can you please come and join us?"

The Bai Family Restaurant is Bai Shi's territory. Naturally, Ye's father doesn't want to go. If he goes, wouldn't it be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?

But Father Ye also knew that if he continued to set up a stall on North Street, he would not be able to escape.

So Ye's father asked Bai Shi to get on the donkey cart and asked the two guys to watch outside the donkey cart while they talked inside the donkey cart.
