After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Chapter 335 Compensation

Ye Qing was not idle. He calculated the number of people going to Wu'an City and went to Queran Tower to book five tables of banquet.

They helped Linglong Pavilion, and Ye Qing wanted to show his appreciation.

When they came back, it was already evening. Ye Qing asked someone to wait at the entrance to the dock, and when they arrived, he took them to Queran Tower.

Xiaoyan is a smart guy, so there will be no problem if he waits there.

Ye Qing looked at the sky. His father had not been seen since he arrived at the dock.

Ye Qing went to his uncle's shop to look for someone, but didn't see them.

"Guizi, where are my father and the others?"

"Uncle San took them out and I don't know where they went." Guizi didn't know either.

Ye Qing waited in the store for a while, but no one came back.

"Guizi, I'll go to Queran Tower first. I've booked a few tables for a banquet there. You can come over later. When you see my father and others, let them over." Ye Qing instructed.

Guizi agreed and promised to convey the message.

Ye Qing went to Queran Tower, and the owner of Queran Tower first gave her a bowl of Tremella and Snow Pear Soup to help her calm down.

The shopkeeper of Queran Tower heard about this and after seeing that Ye Qing was fine, he sent a letter to Ye Xi.

Ye Qing asked someone to clean up the shop again, and he was tired after running back and forth for so long.

"Thank you, boss. This Tremella and Snow Pear Soup is really delicious." Ye Qing felt comfortable from his throat to his stomach.

After eating the Tremella soup, Ye Qing felt much better. At this time, the waiter outside said that Old Man Ye and his son had arrived.

The shopkeeper was greeting Old Man Ye, "Old Master, I'm in good health recently. Please go inside and sit down. I'll pour you some tea."

Old Man Ye was in good spirits and looked at the shopkeeper.

"It's you. You seem to be getting younger and younger. The last time I saw you was at Queran Tower in Wu'an City."

"Old Master, you have a good memory. You still remember me after all this time. Thank you, Madam, for promoting me to be the shopkeeper."

Only then did Old Man Ye understand why the shopkeeper was so enthusiastic. It was Ye Xi who promoted him.

Ye Qing came over to greet Old Man Ye and the others. Just after he said a few words, he saw Xiao Yan coming over with a few ox carts.

Boss Ye knew that his daughter wanted to treat them to a meal to thank them for their help.

Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao San took the initiative to go out to greet them, and Ye Qing followed behind them.

"Everyone is back. Thank you for helping Linglong Pavilion today. The owner of Linglong Pavilion has ordered a banquet. Everyone, come in and have a bite to fill your stomach."

Ye Qing also walked to the front to thank them and invited them in for dinner.

Ye Qing glanced at Ye Xin and Ye Fan. Both of them appeared to have no injuries and were in good spirits.

Everyone exchanged polite words and followed Ye Qing upstairs to eat.

They didn't expect Ye Qing to invite them to dinner. After all, they didn't do anything, and they just couldn't stand the fact that they helped beat people up.

Ye Qing walked behind and talked to Ye Xin and Ye Fan, "Have the government officials returned?"

"They're back. Big brother took them back to the yamen." Ye Xin pointed in the direction of the yamen.

Ye Qing guessed that they would not come over, after all, they still had to avoid suspicion.

Ye Qing called the waiter of the restaurant over and said, "Young man, tell the shopkeeper to send a table of food to the government office and give it to Ye Dalang."

The waiter repeated it in his mind twice and went to find the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper thought about the number of people in the yamen and decided to give them two dishes as a gift from the restaurant.

Ye Dalang and his men had just arrived at the yamen and had not had time to say anything when someone informed them that the guys from Queran Tower outside were looking for him.

He put down the handkerchief in his hand and walked out, wondering if something happened to Ye Qing.

"Sir, Mr. Ye ordered dinner for you. You can eat and rest for a while."

Ye Dalang looked at the table of food being served and understood Ye Qing's thoughts.

Call the people on duty here and those who went with you today to come over for dinner.

Ye Qingding's dishes were all large portions, mostly meat dishes. The owner of Queranlou couldn't stand it anymore and sent two and a half meat dishes.

The people in the yamen had been working hard all day and were really thirsty and tired.

When they heard Ye Dalang calling for dinner, they all gathered around.

Ye Dalang placed the dishes on the table and first served everyone a bowl of mung bean porridge to quench their thirst.

"Everyone sit down and eat something. You've worked hard today." Ye Dalang thanked them sincerely.

A few people were a little frightened and offered porridge to Ye Dalang.

They were still on duty and couldn't drink. Ye Qing filled a small jar with wine for them, each jar weighing five kilograms, so they could take it home and drink it slowly.

Ye Dalang enjoyed his meal here. The dishes were all meat and were much better than the food in the yamen.

At the restaurant, when Ye Qing opened the show, he took a glass of wine to thank everyone, and then handed it to Boss Ye and the others.

Having certainly missed the storytelling in the village today, Ye Qing invited a storyteller from the town to come over and have him tell stories for everyone while they ate while listening.

After dinner, Ye Qing found someone to send them home one by one.

After everyone left, they moved to Ye Laosan's backyard to talk.

"Ye Xinge, what did the adults say when you go to the city?" Ye Qing was sure in his heart, but he also wanted to ask.

Ye Xin didn't keep anyone in suspense and told the result first.

"Of course we won, and we even asked them for compensation."

Wei Hong became excited when he heard about the compensation. "Qingya, I'll return this one hundred taels to you. You didn't use it. These two hundred taels were compensated by the housekeeper. I'll give them to you together."

"Why did you lose so much? Those screens were worth at most thirty taels of silver."

After hearing this, the few people who went to the city laughed out loud.

"My uncle said that your screen is made of rosewood, and the lyrics were proposed by the great scholar Su." Ye Fan added.

Ye Qing also laughed out loud. The screen in the elegant room was indeed well made, but the one in the hall was just average.

Ye Fan told everyone the whole process, "We went to the court, and the housekeeper was still shouting and asking the adults to punish us, saying that our fabric was soaked in water."

"Then what?" Guizi asked from the side.

"Of course we don't admit it. Fortunately, the workshop encouraged everyone to innovate some time ago, so the cloth is somewhat different from that in Lucheng."

Ye Fan took a sip of tea and continued, "They imported the goods from Lucheng. It rained recently and water entered the cabin, soaking the fabric. They heard that our looms and masters were from Lucheng, so they thought of this way to blackmail us."

Ye Qing was somewhat glad that he had set up a reward system some time ago, which encouraged everyone to innovate in cloth.

Ye Xin helped to add, "My Lord, you have seen the fabrics we brought over. They look similar on the surface, but the patterns are different. Ours are more elegant."

Ye Fan drank some wine and kept talking. "My brother also went on board to look at their cloth. There were indeed two kinds, placed in two cabins. My lord asked them to compensate us two hundred taels."

Ye Qing was curious about how the butler and his group were dealt with, and whether they were arrested.

"They were not caught. We reached a settlement. The boss of the housekeeper spent five thousand taels to redeem them." Ye Fan laughed twice after he said this.
