Chapter 174 The Little Daughter’s Mind

When Ye Changyan asked this, he saw that Zhong Yunfeng's face turned even redder. It seemed that Zhong Yunfeng really wanted to please him, so Ye Changyan stopped teasing him and asked.

"What did you tell your father when you got back?"

When Ye Changyan asked about the main matter, Zhong Yunfeng spoke with a blushing face.

"My dad said he met Erniu at the opening ceremony of the milk processing plant and had a very good impression of her."

"What else did your father say?"

Ye Changyan raised his eyebrows at Zhong Yunfeng and continued to ask.

Seeing Ye Changyan's expression, Zhong Yunfeng knew that Ye Changyan must have guessed his father's thoughts, so he no longer concealed it and spoke directly.

"My father said that he is very optimistic about your future. Moreover, your suggestions are very thoughtful for me and my future descendants. My father said that if I have such a Yue family, I will definitely be able to carve out an unusual path in the future for my generation of the Zhong family."

Ye Changyan's intuition told him that Zhong Yunfeng's words were not meant to flatter him, but he was still a little surprised that Zhong Dingyi viewed his and Zhong Yunfeng's future in this way.

"Then I suggest that after you are crowned, you should leave the clan and re-determine your nationality. What does your father say?"

"My father said that this is the best option for the future of me and my descendants. He also asked me to express his gratitude to you, saying that you treat me as a true friend and brother, which is why you gave me such a heartfelt suggestion. He also agreed with my leaving the family and relocating my citizenship."

Ye Changyan nodded. It seemed that Zhong Dingyi not only had a unique vision, but also had an open mind. If Zhong Yunfeng really left his family and re-settled his household, it would be equivalent to Zhong Yunfeng breaking away from the Zhong family of Yuzhou Prefecture and forming his own clan. This was a difficult thing to explain in an era of strict clan etiquette, but Zhong Dingyi could easily agree to it. It seemed that Zhong Dingyi was not a pedantic person.

Then he saw Zhong Yunfeng looking at him with bright eyes and expectant expression.

"I mentioned the matter between you and Erniu to my mother. Judging from her attitude, she seems to be okay with it. As for my father and Erniu, I asked my mother to mention it, but I haven't asked her for the specific situation yet."

Hearing that Lian's attitude was okay, Zhong Yunfeng felt relieved. Judging from his long contact with the Ye family, Ye Changyan's status in this family was the most important. Secondly, Lian had an indispensable say in family affairs. Since these two people did not express any objection, it seemed that his relationship with Erniu would most likely succeed.

The more Zhong Yunfeng thought about it, the happier he became, and an honest smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"Don't be too happy too soon. Erniu is a girl with a strong opinion. Since you are targeting Erniu, then the most important person is still Erniu. After all, if the two of you are really together, she will be the one to spend the rest of your life with you. You have to think carefully about how to win Erniu's favor."

After hearing what Ye Changyan said, Zhong Yunfeng nodded. It seemed that he just realized that the kimchi processing workshop proposed by Ye Changyan had been built on the vacant land originally reserved between the Ye family's new yard and the milk processing workshop.

I saw the sign of Ye’s Pickle Shop hanging on the gate, and there seemed to be some movement inside.

"Has the kimchi processing plant been built?"

Zhong Yunfeng still couldn't believe it and asked Ye Changyan with a puzzled look on his face.

"The business opened on the 28th day of the first lunar month, and it has been a few days. Erniu is busy inside with her helpers."

Zhong Yunfeng was a little surprised to hear Ye Changyan say this. He didn't expect that the kimchi processing workshop would be put into production so quickly. But when he heard that Erniu was busy inside, Zhong Yunfeng made a request to Ye Changyan with a blushing face.

"Won't you take me in for a walk?"

Ye Changyan originally wanted to tease Zhong Yunfeng, but seeing his shy look, he took the lead and walked towards the door of the kimchi processing workshop.

Ye Changyan knocked on the door and heard someone answering the door.

"You still have to close the door in broad daylight?"

"You don't understand. The things made in this kimchi processing workshop can be eaten directly. In order to ensure the safety and health of the food, outsiders are generally not allowed to enter. Moreover, the workers inside are all dressed neatly like those in the milk processing workshop. They try their best to ensure the safety and health of the food from every link."

Zhong Yunfeng nodded, and saw the door being opened from the inside. It was Fang Xiaomei who opened the door.

"Master, Master Zhong."

Ye Changyan nodded to Fang Xiaomei, signaling her to go and get busy first. Ye Changyan let Zhong Yunfeng in, then he stepped in and turned around to lock the door.

Because there are many ventilation holes on the wall, and glass windows are installed at regular intervals, the light and air in the workshop are very good even though the door is closed.

"All the jars here are made from kimchi made during the first few days of opening. They will be available on the market by the end of this month at the earliest."

Zhong Yunfeng listened to Ye Changyan's introduction, looked at the densely packed jars in the huge processing workshop, and nodded with interest.

"When you go back, pick a few smart and trustworthy chefs from the Yunfenglou branch in Wanshou County and Fucheng. I will give them a simple training and teach them how to use this kimchi to make a brand new style of dish."

Zhong Yunfeng had almost unreserved faith in Ye Changyan's cooking skills. The dishes that had been improved by Ye Changyan and the chefs trained by Ye Changyan were now the famous signature dishes of Yunfenglou.

Zhong Yunfeng naturally agreed to Ye Changyan's proposal readily.

Zhong Yunfeng followed behind Ye Changyan, and the two of them gradually walked into the processing workshop. They saw several workers under the leadership of Erniu and Fang Xiaomei. Each of them had a large ceramic basin in front of them, and they were all learning how to pickle dried radishes from Erniu.

Erniu was seen wearing a red headscarf and a white mask. She was explaining the key points of pickling to the workers and demonstrating it herself.

In Zhong Yunfeng's eyes, Erniu, who was so focused on the work, was so charming. Ye Changyan, who was walking beside him, saw Zhong Yunfeng's silly smile and couldn't help but patted Zhong Yunfeng on the shoulder, causing Zhong Yunfeng to shiver.

When Erniu heard the noise, she looked over and her face suddenly turned red.

It seems that Lian has already mentioned Zhong Yunfeng's idea to Erniu. Although Erniu is very independent-minded, she is only a fourteen-year-old girl. When she meets a boy who loves her, she naturally reveals her little girl mentality.
