Xianquan Restaurant reopened for business.
The so-called secret seasonings were all made from senzu beans and senzu wheat. Naturally, they couldn't find any poppy ingredients.
However, this incident still had a certain impact on Xianquan Restaurant's business.
The number of diners had dropped by at least 20% in the past two days.
Ye Xiaochen told the others that Ceng Hongye was bringing her family to the restaurant for a birthday party.
They were pleasantly surprised when they heard about it.
Ceng Hongye bringing her family to dinner this time was completely different from the last time when she supported the opening of the restaurant.
To be more precise, Ceng Hongye was here to support Xianquan Restaurant.
Even Secretary Liu of the county committee would have to think twice if he wanted to make a move in the future.
They were secretly amazed that Ye Xiaochen was so capable that she could even invite Secretary Ceng.
Everyone was in high spirits. The previous worries caused by the closure of the restaurant were swept away. Everyone was full of confidence.
In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend.
Ceng Hongye brought her family to the restaurant at around eleven o 'clock in the morning.
Ye Xiaochen personally led Ceng Hongye and her family into a large private room.
The room had already been carefully decorated.
Ceng Hongye was very satisfied with Ye Xiaochen's arrangement.
Suddenly, she saw a large box on the table. She asked curiously, "Xiaochen, what is this?"
"Today is Uncle's birthday. This is a birthday cake specially made by Xianquan Restaurant."
Ye Xiaochen smiled.
To make this birthday cake, they had specially hired a professional cake maker.
"Xiaochen, Xianquan Restaurant specializes in making cakes?"
Ceng Hongye couldn't help but laugh.
Ceng Hongye's father was a thin old man. He was probably in his seventies. His hair was white, and his face was full of age spots.
He was supported by someone and sat on a chair, trembling slightly.
It was obvious that he was sick.
Ye Xiaochen sighed in her heart. It was really rare for Ceng Hongye to bring her sick father to Xianquan Restaurant for a birthday party.
It was not easy for the old man to take such a long car ride.
Soon, the cake box was opened, revealing a delicate-looking three-layer cake.
It was decorated with fruits such as watermelon, cantaloupe, tomatoes, and cucumbers. They were all produced by Ye Xiaochen's farm.
There were three other things, golden Senzu Beans (Yellow), fiery red Senzu Beans (Red), and yellowish-brown Senzu Wheat.
They were all spiritless.
Fifteen pills each.
It was not that he was stingy, but the Immortal Beans and Immortal Wheat were too precious.
If these Senzu Beans and Senzu Wheat were ground into powder, they would be worth at least tens of thousands of yuan!
In order to make this cake, Ye Xiaochen had put in a lot of effort.
In addition to the fifteen Senzu Beans and Senzu Wheat, he also mixed Senzu Bean Powder and Senzu Wheat Powder into the cake.
"Why are there beans and wheat?"
Ceng Hongye asked in surprise.
"Hehe, Sister Zeng, these aren't ordinary beans and wheat. You'll know when you try them."
Ye Xiaochen smiled.
The birthday cake was just a formality. Naturally, there was no need to light or blow out the candles to make a wish.
Ye Xiaochen picked up the cake knife and started cutting.
Everyone had a small piece of cake and a Senzu Bean or Senzu Wheat.
Of course, Ye Xiaochen did not have a piece of cake for herself.
Ceng Hongye and her father had a Senzu Bean (Red) on their cake.
"Hmm, this watermelon is so sweet."
"This cantaloupe is so fragrant. I've never eaten such a fragrant cantaloupe."
"This cream is so delicious. It's not greasy at all."
....
Ceng Hongye's family ate the cake and soon praised it.
It was not like they had never eaten cake before. The taste of this cake was very special. Whether it was the fruit on top, the cream, the cake, or so on, they were all very delicious.
"Hehe, the taste is really good. Xiaochen, I didn't expect that Xianquan Restaurant not only has delicious food, but also the cake is so delicious!"
Ceng Hongye ate very elegantly.
She picked up the Senzu Bean (Red) with a fork and put it into her mouth.
As soon as she chewed, her expression changed slightly, revealing a look of astonishment.
At this time, the others who ate the Senzu Beans or Senzu Wheat all exclaimed in disbelief.
"Why, why is this bean so delicious?"
"It's so delicious. This is really wheat. It's so wonderful to eat."
"It's more than delicious. It's simply memorable. It's a pity that there's only one!" “
Hearing the others say so, those who had not eaten hurriedly ate, and immediately showed exaggerated expressions.
Even Ceng Hongye looked very intoxicated. Her face turned red, as if she was drunk.
"It's so hot!"
Ceng Hongye's father suddenly said.
His face, which was originally full of age spots, turned slightly red, and his body was already sweating.
"Xiaochen, what kind of bean is this? Why do I feel hot all over after eating it?"
Ceng Hongye was surprised.
After sweating, she actually felt comfortable all over.
"It's so comfortable."
Ceng Hongye's father's spirit was much better.
"Sister Ceng, this is my secret Senzu Bean and Senzu Wheat. It has a very good health and fitness effect."
Ye Xiaochen had already thought of a reason.
"I didn't expect this bean to be so magical."
Ceng Hongye and the others were amazed.
If they didn't eat it personally, it was really hard to imagine.
After the surprise of eating the cake, the following various dishes made Ceng Hongye's family even more happy.
Even her old father, who didn't have a good appetite, ate a lot this time. His spirit and complexion were much better. It was the previous Senzu Bean (Red) that improved the old man's physical condition.
After the meal, Ye Xiaochen gave Ceng Hongye's father more than a dozen Senzu Beans and Senzu Wheat. She told the old man to cook one every day after he went back. It was very good for his health.
Such precious Senzu Beans and Senzu Wheat, Ceng Hongye was naturally very grateful.
Although she was the head of the Municipal Party Committee, she was helpless about her old father's illness.
After eating the Senzu Beans today, her old father's spirit improved a lot. Obviously, it was the effect of the Senzu Beans.
She suddenly had a glimmer of hope.
Since she was a child, her mother died in childbirth. It was her old father who raised her and her siblings. It was not easy to be both a father and a mother.
She really hoped that her father could live a long life and enjoy more happiness.
Finally, Ceng Hongye's family was sent away.
Ye Xiaochen breathed a sigh of relief. In order to entertain Ceng Hongye's family well, she had been very busy these two days.
What should be done had been done. She just had to wait and see the effect.
....
In Liu Xianjin's house.
Peng Zhiping was also there.
"Brother-in-law, I didn't expect Secretary Zeng to bring her family to Xianquan restaurant to celebrate her old father's birthday. It's really puzzling."
Peng Zhiping said in a muffled voice.
"I didn't expect it either. It seems that the relationship between Secretary Zeng and Ye Xiaochen is even closer than I thought."
Liu Xianjin sighed.
"What should we do now?"
Peng Zhiping asked.
"I have to meet this Ye Xiaochen and mend our relationship."
Liu Xianjin narrowed his eyes and soon had an idea.
"What's the reply from Cao Xinhong?"
Peng Zhiping was slightly stunned and hesitated.
"Just tell him the truth."
Liu Xianjin said.
"Brother-in-law, will this offend him? Will it affect your future?"
Peng Zhiping said worriedly.
He knew how powerful Cao Xinhong was. Although his brother-in-law was the mayor of Jing County, it was only in this small area. Once he was out of Jing County, it was not a big deal.
"It's better than offending Ceng Hongye. Besides, Cao Xinhong is a smart man. He knows what to do."
Liu Xianjin shook his head and said.
Peng Zhiping was a little confused. He felt that his brother-in-law was more and more unpredictable. He decided not to think too much. It was better to do what his brother-in-law asked him to do first.
