Xiao Tianyue waved his hands when he heard this. He didn't realize Li Mingxia was joking. "Don't worry, I didn't mean that. Don't you know me? I just asked casually. Let's not talk about this anymore."

Li Mingxia blinked and looked at Xiao Tianyue strangely, "Mr. Xiao, I was just joking. Why are you so serious? I don't know what to say."

Xiao Tianyue also realized that his reaction just now seemed to be a little too excited, but he was not embarrassed. He just said a little embarrassedly: "I was afraid that you were angry. You still say this to me. You really have no conscience."

ungrateful?

Li Mingxia felt that Xiao Tianyue's words were becoming more and more outrageous, and actually gave her a feeling of "resentment".

"There's nothing to complain about, it's just that the starch is a little too thick, which kind of covers up the taste. But you know, I have a very finicky tongue, so there's no need to change it. Maybe the guests who come to eat here have already gotten used to the taste." Li Mingxia said to Xiao Tianyue.

In fact, the biggest problem with these dishes is the heat, but it is not easy to teach even if you want to. How can you learn it without a few years of instruction by words and deeds?

"What you said makes sense. So let's do it this way. It's always the same people. No matter whether I change or not, those who are supposed to come will still come, and those who can't come won't come on purpose." As Xiao Tianyue was speaking, he saw that the tea in Li Mingxia's cup was gone, so he stood up and poured her another cup.

Li Mingxia felt that there seemed to be something difficult in Xiao Tianyue's words, but seeing that he was just saying it casually and didn't mean to explain it clearly, Li Mingxia naturally wouldn't ask more questions.

In her opinion, the relationship between her and Xiao Tianyue was just ordinary friends, not very close. There were some things Xiao Tianyue didn't tell her and if she asked, not only would she not get any answers, but she was afraid that people would think she was stupid.

"I vaguely heard you guys talking about a restaurant just now, but are you going to start a food business?"

Xiao Tianyue changed the subject, and the loss and confusion just now seemed to have never happened.

Li Mingxia glanced at Xiao Tianyue with a half-smile, as if to say, "Didn't you hear it? How come you know it so clearly now?"

But Xiao Tianyue didn't seem embarrassed at all about being exposed and just kept smiling.

"Is it delicious, mother? Mingyu? Are you used to it? If you don't like it, ask Mr. Xiao to serve a few more dishes. I'm rich and I don't care about this little thing." Li Mingxia did not reply to Xiao Tianyue immediately, but turned her head to talk to Zhang and Li Mingyu.

"Enough, enough, how can we finish so many dishes? No need to serve more." Zhang said in a low voice, and kept winking at Li Mingxia, asking Li Mingxia to stop talking quickly.

Li Mingyu also nodded quickly: "Enough, enough, sister, the food here is delicious."

Li Mingxia raised an eyebrow, "It's not as good as what I cook. I'll make you something delicious tonight."

Li Mingyu and Zhang lowered their heads and ate without saying a word, but they agreed in their hearts.

But even if you agree, you can't just say it out loud! The owner of the restaurant is still here, wouldn't it be a slap in the face to agree with Li Mingxia directly?

Xiao Tianyue was the first to compliment him, "Mingxia is telling the truth. It's indeed not as delicious as what you cook. Not even half as good. If I had your cooking skills, would my restaurant still be here? I could even open one in the capital."

Li Mingxia was happy to hear this, after all, flattery never wears out.

"I'm going to open a food business in town, and I've almost picked a location. It's about two blocks away from your restaurant. It's a three-story building, not bad. I'm quite satisfied with it."

Li Mingxia took the initiative to talk to Xiao Tianyue about the question he had just asked.

Xiao Tianyue nodded, not knowing what he was thinking. He looked a little absent-minded and did not even respond to Li Mingxia.

"My catering business is small, so no matter what happens, your restaurant will not be affected. Why don't you look very happy?" Li Mingxia said with a smile, "Could it be that our Mr. Xiao is so stingy now? As long as we are in the same industry, no matter how big or small, you can't tolerate it?"

Xiao Tianyue couldn't help laughing at Li Mingxia's teasing, "You! You have such a big mouth!"

Li Mingxia continued, "I didn't know that business is so difficult nowadays. Even a rich young man like our Mr. Xiao is in this situation now. It shows that the world is difficult."

Xiao Tianyue was amused and started laughing, and the atmosphere eased again.

"I just thought that you run the restaurant business to make money, but in the end -" When he said this, Xiao Tianyue paused and sighed, "Now that you are here today, I won't hide what I want to say. It's just that my words are a bit direct and not very pleasant to hear. Mingxia, you should not be unhappy."

Li Mingxia picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, nodded, and said, "Don't worry. Now that I've drunk such good tea from you, I'm too embarrassed to say anything even if I'm unhappy. Just say it, just say whatever you want to say."

Xiao Tianyue smiled and said, "I think that you do business just to make money, but this town is so small, how much can you make? It won't be much even if you talk about it all. It's better for you to stay with me and help me, which is much better than doing business."

Zhang and Li Mingyu were so shocked after hearing what Xiao Tianyue said that they couldn't even eat, but the two of them thought differently.

Li Mingyu was thinking, does Mr. Xiao want Sister Mingxia to be his cook? The wages paid by the cook are so much, much more than Sister Mingxia can earn from her own business?

But Zhang heard another meaning. Could it be that Mr. Xiao wanted his daughter to follow him?

Why doesn't this sound like a formal marriage? It sounds like she's just following him around without any status? A concubine?

How can that be done!

Zhang could see that Xiao Tianyue was definitely not an ordinary person, but so what? She didn't want to sell her daughter to be a concubine! That was absolutely not allowed!

Perhaps the displeasure in Zhang's eyes was too direct, which made Xiao Tianyue realize that what he had just said was a bit inexplicable and easy to be misunderstood.

"What I mean is, why don't you be my partner? I'll provide the money and you'll provide the skills. This way you'll definitely earn more money than if you run your own business, and you won't have to worry about so many things. Why should a woman work so hard and so hard?" Xiao Tianyue looked at Li Mingxia and said sincerely.
