After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

"Young Boss Ye, please." Shopkeeper Xu raised his glass. "Today's dishes are specially prepared for you. You must eat more." Then he remembered that Ye Xunqing was a man. Can men drink? And the man next to him should be his husband...

Ye Xunqing picked up the wine glass and said to Feng Jingheng, "Ah Heng, let's toast to Manager Xu. He is our family's great benefactor."

Feng Jingheng nodded, raised his glass and toasted Manager Xu together with Ye Xunqing.

Shopkeeper Xu found it odd that this man seemed to listen to his wife. And rightly so, if his wife could make money, who else would she listen to? He was most afraid of incompetent men who couldn't make money and wouldn't let their wives go out to earn money.

Speaking of which, there are actually very few men and women here who do business. Even if they do, they are only engaged in the flesh trade.

But Ye Xunqing is different. He is very brave and never stage-frightened. He doesn't look like a timid guy at all.

There were two chickens and four chicken legs. Ye Xunqing gave each of them a chicken leg and handed the last leg to Shopkeeper Xu, saying, "Shopkeeper Xu, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Although this roast chicken is from your store, I just tasted the meat and it tastes pretty good. Now I'm offering this roast chicken to you as a token of my appreciation. I hope you don't mind."

Shopkeeper Xu raised his hand to block the chicken leg and said, "Boss Ye, you can eat it yourself. I'm in the restaurant every day. What kind of dishes haven't I eaten? Don't tell me, these plates of fried shredded eggs are more to my taste." As he said that, he picked up a few more shredded potatoes with chopsticks.

Their restaurant welcomes everyone; as long as you can afford it, you can dine here. Besides more expensive dishes like roast chicken, they also offer a wide selection of inexpensive vegetarian dishes, emphasizing the principle of small profits but quick turnover. But shredded ground eggs are different. Ground eggs are very cheap; ten cents buys a large basket. But once cooked into a dish, the price is much higher.

Moreover, this dish was relatively new, so Shopkeeper Xu planned to lower the price first and then raise it again after a while. But even with the lower price, Shopkeeper Xu could still make a lot of money.

"Boss Ye, there's something I need to remind you of." When they had almost finished eating, Shopkeeper Xu said, "The reason why the secret recipe is a secret recipe is because few people know it, so..." He didn't say the rest.

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Xu. Since I've sold the recipe to you, I won't sell it to anyone else." Ye Xunqing was also very sensible. He said, "Business must be done in accordance with the rules. Otherwise, who would want to do business with you next time?"

Shopkeeper Xu smiled and nodded, "You're right."

After dinner, Feng Jingheng wanted to go find Feng Jinghua. Ye Xunqing packed some food for Feng Jinghua and planned to bring it to him.

When passing by the wealthy family who bought mushroom and meat sauce, Ye Xunqing saw an expected person.

"They are walking very slowly." Ye Xunqing said to Feng Jingheng.

Feng Jingheng said: "Maybe something delayed him."

Ye Xunqing suggested, "Let's go over and listen to what they are saying, and then go and bring food to Big Brother."

Feng Jingheng agreed.

At the door, Chen Jinhua was arguing with the housekeeper. "Steward, please be flexible. I've brought all the things here, but if you don't accept them, how am I supposed to go home? I spent a lot of money making this. If you don't take anything away, then all my money will be wasted, right?"

The steward found it very funny. He said with a smile: "What does it have to do with us if your money goes down the drain? This sauce tastes so bad. If I buy it back, my master and mistress will scold me to death. Other people's money didn't go down the drain. Stop bothering me here. If you make trouble again, I will report you to the police."

Chen Jinhua refused to give in and said, "Please, I really need money. My family is sick and they are waiting for me to take the money back to buy medicine."

The manager hesitated for a moment, and Chen Jinhua seized the opportunity and winked at her two sons, asking them to continue playing the victim.

Ye Dayong cried, "Yes, my father is already terminally ill. My mother has used up all the money in the family in order to make money. If we can't take the money back, my father will die of illness."

Ye Eryong's brain wasn't as quick as his brother's. After being stunned for a long time, he started to cry miserably.

The person in charge finds them annoying, but if someone is really terminally ill, maybe they can be saved.

At this moment, Ye Xunqing appeared. He came alone and said as soon as he saw us: "Second mother, third brother and fourth brother, why are you here?"

The manager still remembered him. He said he was going home to get married, but he didn't expect him to come again.

"Young boss, did you bring the mushroom meat sauce?" The manager smiled and his attitude changed drastically.

Ye Xunqing said with great regret: "I don't have any, and I probably won't come to sell mushroom and meat sauce in the future. But didn't my second mother make mushroom and meat sauce? Is that not okay?"

The steward's face turned a little unhappy. He said, "The mushroom and meat sauce your second mother made is salty and tastes terrible. The mushrooms taste like tree roots, and there's meat in it. I tried it for a long time but couldn't taste the meat."

Ye Xunqing smiled and said, "Second Mother, I told you a long time ago, don't do this lightly. You can't do it, and now you've lost money, right?"

Chen Jinhua was furious. "You bastard, not only do you make money for yourself, but you're also stopping us from making money! You must have kept the secret recipe from me. You're scheming against our entire family like this. Whoever marries you in the future will be cursed for the rest of their lives!"

The steward grasped the key point, "Didn't you say this was a family heirloom?"

Ye Xunqing explained: "I figured this out myself. I originally wanted to use this secret recipe to make some money. But there were too many people who were jealous, and even my own family couldn't defend themselves."

His answer completely pissed off the manager. He yelled, "I don't care if anyone in your family is dying. If you can't come up with something good, then don't hang around our doorstep, or I'll report you to the police!"

After saying that, the manager went in.

When Chen Jinhua saw the steward go in, she took out her anger on Ye Xunqing, "Your father is right, you're a nuisance, just as stubborn as your damn father! You have money but you don't give it to your family, and you have to be so ungrateful!"

Ye Xunqing's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly asked in a low voice: "Chen Jinhua, how did my father die?"

Chen Jinhua's pupils constricted upon hearing this, and she avoided his gaze. "He was weak, and he died...after giving birth..."

"That would be best," Ye Xunqing said, "but everyone is dead, so let's just leave it at that. From now on, you go your way, and I go mine. We can just keep out of each other's way."

Chen Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Qing'er, we are family. How could you bear to watch me lose so much money?"

"There's a saying that goes, 'If you're not as skilled as others, you'll get beaten.'" Ye Xunqing didn't sympathize with her at all. "I've taught you everything I need to teach you. If you don't have the skills, don't blame others."
