Chapter 163: The Qiao Family in Beijing, the Owner of Tingxuan Restaurant
The Ye family has a cooperation with the He family, and any new products will be sent to Tianyu Restaurant.
"Young Master, the Ye family has sent fruits to the restaurant." A waiter hurried to the He family to report.
He Yuanming was discussing the future direction of the restaurant with his old father. When he heard the report, he frowned and said, "Just accept it if they send it to you. Why make a fuss?"
The waiter handed over the watermelon in his hand: "The Ye family sent watermelon, very sweet watermelon."
He Yuanming and his son were stunned when they saw the watermelon.
The two of them immediately cut the melon and tasted it, and then they were amazed.
Mr. He looked at the watermelon in his hand in disbelief: "Yuan Ming, who on earth is this Ye family? Where did they get so many magical things?"
He Yuanming shook his head: "I don't know, and I don't dare to check. The Ye family is the in-laws of Dr. Xiao. Dr. Xiao saved your life."
Mr. He frowned and thought: "Although Divine Doctor Xiao cured my father, you also paid for the consultation. Logically, we don't owe them anything."
He Yuanming was shocked: "Dad?"
Mr. He raised his hand and said, "Don't be nervous. Dad has no other thoughts. He is just very curious about the Ye family. First it was sugar, then peppers, and then watermelons... The Ye family is really capable. Yuanming, it is a great blessing for Tianyu Restaurant to be able to cooperate with such a capable family. This blessing must be firmly grasped."
He Yuanming breathed a sigh of relief: "The child knows."
He thought his father was going to investigate the Ye family. Although the Ye family seemed peaceful, they were not easy to bully. He didn't want his father to be confused.
The Ye family was able to transform Jixian Restaurant into Baiwei Fresh Restaurant in a short period of time, and the business was so successful. It must be that the family has more than just some money, they must have a powerful backer behind them.
Annoying the Ye family would bring great trouble to the He family.
Seeing his son being so cautious, Mr. He smiled with relief: "I have been seriously ill, and my energy is not as good as before. I can't take care of business matters. I can only rely on you. I am very relieved to leave this family to you. As for how to deal with those people, you can handle it yourself. I won't interfere."
He Yuanming cupped his hands: "I will never let my father down."
Mr. He thought of something and said, "That Tingxuan Restaurant. When this restaurant first opened, my father met the owner of the restaurant. He seemed to be from the Qiao family in Beijing."
......
"Qiao's family?"
In the horse farm, Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan rode a white horse together, Xiao Jingxuan was behind and Ye Tang was in front. Hearing Xiao Jingxuan's words, Ye Tang asked curiously: "Who is this Qiao family?"
"The Qiao family in the capital is the top official merchant in the Yuan Dynasty, and the daughter of the Qiao family is a concubine in the palace." Xiao Jingxuan sniffed the fragrance on her hair and said, "My lady, what did you use to wash your hair today? It smells so good."
Ye Tang replied casually: "I used the new shampoo I made."
Jamel Xiao distinguished carefully: "I smell the scent of Platycladus orientalis leaves, as well as Polygonum multiflorum, camellia, sapodilla, and ginseng. Huh? This smell is a bit like..."
Ye Tang smiled and replied, "Rice washing water."
Homemade shampoo is natural and does not contain fragrances or other messy things. It is very comfortable to use.
Jamel Xiao was surprised: "My wife has learned to use medicinal herbs to make shampoo. I want to try it too."
"I'll wash your hair when we get back. Now let's continue with the previous topic and tell us about the Qiao family in detail. What is the main business of this family?"
"The Qiao family mainly sells salt, silk, and gold and silver jewelry. The richest salt merchant in the Yuan Dynasty was the Qiao family, as was the largest silk shop and the largest jewelry store. They had multiple branches throughout the Yuan Dynasty... According to information found by my people, Tingxuan Restaurant was the first restaurant of the Qiao family."
The Qiao family had never been involved in the restaurant business before. The first restaurant was not opened in the capital, but in Wutong County.
It's really incredible.
"The business of Tingxuan Restaurant is very average this year. It feels like it is about to close down." Xiao Jingxuan said.
Nowadays, those who go to Tingxuan Restaurant to eat are all familiar customers.
Jamel Xiao put his arm around Ye Tang's waist: "There's something strange about Tingxuan Restaurant. Maybe there are some shameful secrets hidden inside. Tell Ping An not to go to Tingxuan Restaurant and stay away from this place. He is still too young after all."
Ye Tang agreed: "I understand."
Wutong County is the fief of Prince Xian. He should have asked someone to investigate the matter of Tingxuan Restaurant long ago. If there is anything strange, Prince Xian will definitely deal with it.
Xiao Jingxuan told her so much, in fact, he was telling her that Prince Xian would deal with Tingxuan Restaurant, and asked her and Ping An not to interfere, so as not to be affected.
......
After coming out of the horse farm, Ye Tang went to find Ye Pingan.
He was in a small house in the county town. When Ye Tang arrived, he heard the housekeeper say that he had gone out with a servant.
"Where did they go?" Ye Tang asked.
"The young master didn't say." The butler hesitated.
Ye Tang looked at him: "Did he go to Tingxuan Restaurant?"
The housekeeper was surprised: "How did the eldest lady know? I don't know whether the young master went to the Courtyard Restaurant. I just guessed. The young master mentioned the Tingxuan Restaurant to Gensheng last night."
Gensheng is the servant who follows Ye Ping'an. He was bought by Ye Tang specifically for Ye Ping'an and is nineteen years old.
Ye Tang went to Tingxuan Restaurant immediately.
At the same time, Ye Ping'an and Gensheng had already started eating in the private room of Tingxuan Restaurant.
"These dishes are so disgusting." Ye Ping'an spat out the boiled lamb in his mouth with disgust.
The mutton had a strong odor, filling his mouth with it.
"How could so many customers like something so disgusting?" Gensheng was also stimulated by the taste of mutton.
Ye Ping'an walked to the window and looked outside. There were seven or eight guests in the lobby and quite a few guests in the private rooms.
There were obviously many customers, but Tingxuan Restaurant seemed very quiet.
Ye Ping'an frowned: "Is Tingxuan Restaurant going to close?"
Gensheng whispered in his ear, "Our people saw Tingxuan Restaurant bought a lot of food this morning. It doesn't look like it's going to close."
Ye Ping'an's stomach suddenly growled: "My stomach feels a little uncomfortable. I need to go to the toilet."
Gensheng's stomach also growled: "My stomach is upset too, Master, please wait for me."
The two of them hurried to the toilet. When passing a small intersection, Ye Ping'an glanced inadvertently and saw several people pushing carts towards the kitchen.
Something fell off the cart and floated around like fine sand.
Ye Ping'an paused, looked down and saw fine sand on the ground beneath his feet, the same as what fell from the car.
"Master, it's fine salt." Gensheng squatted down and looked at the white fine sand carefully. He touched a little with his finger and tasted it: "I am not mistaken, it is really fine salt."
Ye Ping'an was surprised: "So much fine salt was scattered on the ground, and they didn't notice it? Why don't we go and tell them?"
Gensheng held Ye Ping'an back and said, "Master, don't go."
Before he could say anything, the people who had just left with the cart ran towards them.
Ye Ping'an suddenly had a bad premonition and subconsciously grabbed Gensheng and ran away.
Suddenly, everything went dark in front of my eyes.
Both were caught in sacks.
