Chapter 44 Business is business
"Fourth brother, she bullied me!" Ye Xiaoxiao rushed into Ye Lan's arms with tears on her face.
Family affection and blood are not given up by reason, and he has not met his relatives in this world for five years, Ye Chao thought that he had forgotten about these, who would have thought that now Ye Xiaoxiao's fourth brother directly shattered the invisible ice in his heart.
Ye Lan stretched out his hand and touched his sister's head and said, "Okay Xiaoxiao, be nice, everyone else is still watching, and I also know the whole story, isn't it a bit embarrassing to come to my place to complain if you lose the fight?"
Her careful thinking was broken by Ye Chao, Ye Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed to spit out her small ~ tongue, but she still occupied Ye Chao's arms and said: "It's all to blame on the fourth brother, I obviously said that I would write to me often, who knew that there would only be so many letters in five years, Xiaoxiao misses you very much." β
"Okay, okay, the fourth brother left when he was three years old, isn't your child's memory too good?"
"No, only the fourth brother was playing with me in the family at that time, you are Xiaoxiao's closest person, how can you not remember. Fourth brother, how are you going home, it's so inconvenient outside, don't you want to go Xiaoxiao?"
"Obediently, the fourth brother thinks you can't do it, you will be a big girl in a few years, what is the matter with always letting the fourth brother hold it, and I am not afraid of other people's jokes, come down!"
Ye Xiaoxiao also found that several women were staring at her, and she could only be reluctant to leave Ye Chao's arms.
At this time, Hanabi also came to Ye Chao's approach, she glared angrily at Ye Xiaoxiao, who could be coquettish with Ye Chao at will, and said with a stubborn expression on her face: "Master, you are back." β
Of course, Ye Lan knew what this little girl was thinking, he unceremoniously took this apprentice of his own into his arms, rubbed the other party's little head and praised: "It's very good, it seems that you have been practicing martial arts very hard during this time, I am very satisfied with your performance, this is a reward for you." β
Saying that, Ye Lan took out a string of pearl bracelets from his arms and put them on Hanabi's wrist, this string of pearl bracelets was bought by him in Maple Leaf County, and this thing is not too expensive on the coast. In comparison, Ye Xiaoxiao, the proud daughter of the sky, was pampered when she was born, she never lacked love, and Hanabi was more pitiful, so Ye Chao was more attentive to this child, he didn't want Hanabi to feel unfamiliar.
Xiao ~ who was excited with a pearl bracelet was flushed, although she wanted to call out happily in her heart, but out of etiquette, she still resisted this impulse, and thanked Ye Chao in a proper manner.
Ye Chao turned his head and glared at Lianxing fiercely, what kind of child has been educated by her, he is about to become a little wood!
The color of this string of pearl bracelets is not very good, and even the pearls on it are not very round. But for Hanabi, this is the most precious gift in the world, because it was given to her by her teacher Ye Lan, which is a reward for her efforts during this time, and it also shows that Ye Lan has always recognized her. Of course, the most important thing is that Ye Xiaoxiao doesn't have this thing, so everything is fine.
Sure enough, Ye Xiaoxiao on the side was unhappy, and Lao Gao, who pouted her mouth, said: "Fourth brother, you are eccentric, Xiaoxiao too." β
"Xiaoxiao, the fourth brother didn't know that you would come to this place, and besides, there are so many dazzling jewelry in your house, why bother with these things, the fourth brother will make you something to eat in a while." Huahuo is the fourth brother's apprentice, and the fourth brother has always treated her as his own child, you have to get along with her well in the future, you know. β
Hearing Ye Chao say this, Ye Xiaoxiao reluctantly nodded and agreed.
Finally solved the two small ones, Ye Chao looked at the sky that had already darkened and said: "Let's have a meal together, although this place in Qianyeling is not as good as God, but there are also a lot of special game, the third sister has a good taste today." β
"Well, in that case, you're welcome. β
Ye Xiaoxiao on the side also cheered: "Okay, good, eat and eat, I haven't tasted what the fourth brother made for a long time." β
Earlier, when he was in the imperial capital, the virtual inn system on Ye Lan's body had not been activated, and he had nothing to do at home all day, so he was too idle to spend his mind on eating and drinking. The reason why Ye Xiaoxiao was very sticky at that time was largely because Ye Ran could always cook all kinds of delicious food for her.
There are always people waiting in the kitchen of the Lord's Mansion, Ye Chao only needs to stir-fry, and as for his work of picking vegetables and cutting meat, someone will naturally help him complete it.
Every time a dish is ready, Ye Ran, always sprinkles a little MSG. These people who are eating tonight, except for him and Hanabi, are all people who have seen the world. What kind of thing is MSG, they still need to taste it.
It turns out that MSG is very acceptable in any world, and several girls are full of praise for the few dishes made by Ye Chao, especially Sophia's eyes are getting brighter and brighter when she looks at Ye Chao.
As for Lian Xing, she was secretly distressed on the side, her cooking level was very average, and when she thought that Ye Ran's fried dishes were better than her cooking, she always felt that her fiancΓ©e was too much of a failure.
After he was full of wine and food, Ye Chao asked people to withdraw the food, served tea and desserts, and asked with the teacup in his hand: "Third sister, I don't know who the entourage who came over this time, what number, and what is their identity?"
"The number of people is about twenty or thirty, I haven't counted them carefully, and they are naturally very decent in terms of identity, basically they are all sent by medium-sized aristocratic families. Your Majesty has said that we want Viscount Sophia to fully feel our sincerity. β
Sophia on the side nodded with a teacup and thanked her, in the presence of outsiders, she didn't dare to let go too much with Ye Chao, especially if outsiders were still Ye Chao's family, Sophia would not be stupid to leave a bad impression in front of her two sisters-in-law.
Twenty or thirty people is already a lot, if it weren't for the fact that Sophia now represents the entire Duchy of Paris and their Sophia family, the emperor wouldn't even care about this girl who only has the title of viscount.
Ye ran his fingers on the table and calculated, "Then how long can they stay here?"
"I can't say exactly how long I stayed, but of course Miss Sophia's will will be fully respected. It is about everyone to discuss the specific itinerary of going to the imperial capital first, and then tell Viscount Sophia what kind of etiquette he needs to follow when meeting His Majesty. Once all these things are taken care of, we're basically on the road. β
Ye Lan nodded, and a plan slowly took shape in his mind.
Chiba Ridge, a poor and remote place, sometimes there may not be a foreign nobleman coming over a year, if you can't use this opportunity to beat the reputation of the Dragon Gate Inn, it will be even more difficult to think about ~ operation in the future.
Ye Chao thought so, and when the group of people came over, he said that he would drag them to Shanjin Town to eat a special meal first, and then taste the special wine, only in this way could he make the name of the inn.
After that, he chatted with his third sister and fifth sister for a while, until Ye Xiaoxiao said that she was sleepy, and Ye Xiaoluan took her back to the room prepared in advance to rest.
As soon as Ye Xiaoluan left, Ye Chao suddenly said to the two girls with a bright face: "I plan to discuss something with you." β
"Dear Ye Lan, if you plan to marry me and Princess Lianxing back, I don't have any opinion, as long as Lianxing agrees. Sophia said excitedly.
The pity star next to him spat fiercely and said: "Western women really don't know shame, they can say this kind of thing!"
Ye Lan hurriedly stopped the two women who were about to quarrel and said, "What I want to discuss with you is a very serious matter, a business matter!"
Speaking of business matters, Sophia's eyes lit up, isn't this her strength. When I was 12 years old, I started to help the family manage the accounts, and I haven't made a mistake until now. Sophia is confident that she has won this time.
Ye Chao slowly explained the whole story of the matter and said, "That's what it looks like, my mission this time is asked by the Swordsman Guild." Originally, I refused, but then I couldn't stand their soft grinding and hard bubbles, so I succumbed.
I thought that this time I was working in a day job, but who knew that by mistake, I got two recipes for the production of medicinal wine, so in the next period of time, I hope to focus on recommending the wine in the inn.
I immediately thought of Sophia, didn't you say that your family's business group is almost all over the entire Canglan Continent, I wonder if you can do a favor and let them publicize it?"
"Do you mean that I can finally help you now? dear, I've been waiting for you for a long time, although I can't compare to you in terms of cultivation, but in terms of business, you definitely can't be stronger than me. Don't worry, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely help you do it beautifully. I don't know what kind of medicinal wine it looks like, can you let me see it first?" Sophia asked emotionally.
"Actually, it's not a very unusual medicinal wine, it's just a little help for the fighters. I don't have a sample yet, but I'm sure we'll be able to make it soon, so I'll let you taste it. β
"In that case, let's talk about how the work is, and now I'll talk to you as the heir of the Sophia family. I think that the things we are discussing can be regarded as trade secrets now, and it is better for idle people not to eavesdrop on this place. Your Excellency Ye Ran, why don't we go to your room and talk about it in detail? I believe that this cooperation will be very pleasant!"
ps: Ye Xiaoxiao's age was changed to eight years old, and he was physically and mentally exhausted and asked for a collection and a recommendation ticket
