      Chapter 123 Banquet (Eighth)

    After simply having breakfast, the sky is still dark, but the streets are not dark because there are many shops in the Prefecture City, which open early, and all the candles in the porch are lit.

       A group of people got into the carriage.

      Xiao Wu always followed shopkeeper Sun to discuss business when he was in Jin Kee. He has been to Prefecture City seven or eight times, and he is familiar with the terrain.

      At this moment, there were not many pedestrians on the street, so he didn't take a shortcut, and galloped directly on the main road. After a while, he arrived at the side door of Wang's house.

      Although Wang's house is a merchant's house, the house is built more grandly than Qi's house, and it seems to have been renovated in recent years. The colors of the walls and eaves are very brand-new.

      The third lady had already greeted the young man at the side door. After shopkeeper Sun reported his home, the young man brought them into the mansion and led them to the kitchen in the public house.

       There are three houses in the Wang family, the first house is the son of the old man, the second house and the third house are both the sons of the concubines, today is the big house's grandson's catch-up banquet, and it is very grand and festive.

      The people should have started working in the middle of the night, and the back house was brightly lit.

       While leading the way, the boy looked at the siblings from time to time, mainly at Su Xiaoxiao.

      No way, even if Su Xiaoxiao lost dozens of catties, she was still a big fat man with a full tonnage in ancient times.

      But compared to the original black and fat, now she is white and fat, a little cute.

       "Brother Qiu, who is it?"

      A maid who cleaned the house asked the boy in a low voice.

      The servant whispered: "The third lady invited the cook from apricot flower town."

       "He's from the town?" The maid curled her lips, obviously looking down on her, "What's the third lady thinking?"

       "Hush—" the boy looked around, "Don't let the third lady hear this."

       "I know, I know." The servant woman responded, and looked at Su Xiaoxiao a few more times. She was the most eye-catching of the group, and people couldn't pay attention to it.

      Su Xiaoxiao could hear the conversation between the two of them clearly, there is a chain of contempt everywhere, the people in the town look down on the people in the country, and the people in the Prefecture City look down on the people from the town—

      Do your part and don’t worry about what other people say.

      The third lady thoughtfully prepared a small kitchen for them alone, and told the servants that if they have any food needs, they should try their best to meet them, and there is no need to report to her.

       It's just that, when the boy took them to the small kitchen that had been prepared earlier in the morning, he was surprised to find someone inside.

       is also a new face.

      The boy was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Who are you? Which room are you from?"

      The middle-aged man who was preparing flour on the stove said: "We are pastry chefs invited by your house."

      The boy said: "That's not right, the pastry chef is here."

    "What happened?"

      A soft female voice sounded slowly from not far away.

      The visitor looked about thirty-five or sixteen years old. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, jewels and jewels, and he was wearing a pendant.

    She was accompanied by a little maid and a servant, all dressed decently.

      The boy turned around, blessed the other party, and respectfully said: "Second madam!"

      The second lady smiled and asked: "It's Lingqiu, what are you doing here?"

      The servant called Lingqiu said: "Returning to the second lady, I will bring the masters over to make desserts."

       "Where did the dim sum chef come from?"

       "From apricot flower Town."

       "Who invited the cook from the town?"

       "I invited, does the second sister-in-law have any objections?"

      The third lady came with her maid.

      Her clothes are more plain than the second wife, and she is younger and more beautiful.

      She stopped next to the servant and shopkeeper Sun, and looked at the second lady opposite.

      The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

       Shopkeeper Sun is a fine person, what can't you understand when you look at the posture of the two ladies?

      The Wang family is the head of the eldest house, the eldest wife is in charge of the middle class, the second and third masters are concubines, and the two wives will help the eldest wife with the affairs of the house on weekdays, and fighting openly and secretly is inevitable.

      The second wife sneered: "Siblings, it's not the sister-in-law who is talking about you. Our Wang family is considered a respectable family in the Prefecture City. How can you hire a few cooks from the countryside?"

      The second wife actually didn't know that Su Xiaoxiao was a country girl, but to people in Prefecture City, everything in the town was considered a country girl.

    The third wife sneered: "My sister-in-law will give me the full power of this matter. Of course, I have the final say on who I invite, so I won't bother my second sister-in-law! Are those cooks invited by my second sister-in-law? I heard they are from her natal family."The second sister-in-law is right. Our Wang family is a respectable family. When the mother’s family comes, it is natural to be a guest at the banquet. Why do you come to the kitchen to do things? If it spreads, it will make people laugh at our Wang family’s lack of hospitality.way!"

      The second lady was choked enough.

      The bullshit natal family was just introduced by her natal family. In order to get this job, she deliberately said it was her natal family.

       Shopkeeper Sun touched his nose resentfully, and said in a volume that only he and Su Xiaoxiao could hear: "Did you see that? Immortals fight, and little ghosts suffer."

      Su Xiaoxiao calmly watched the two wives fighting.

       "Brother agreed!"

       "The male leads the outside, the female leads the inside, and the affairs of the rear house are always decided by the sister-in-law!"

      The backing of the second lady is the old man, and the backing of the third lady is the old lady. Neither of the two wives can win the battle.

      They were arguing with each other, Su Xiaoxiao went into the kitchen to make snacks.

       "Let it go." Su Xiaoxiao said to the cook in front of the stove.

      The cook glanced at her.

      Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the kitchen knife.

      The cook stepped back!

      It is said to be a small kitchen, but in fact there are two stoves and four pots. Su Xiaoxiao occupied one stove and asked Xiao Wu and Su Ergou to bring the ingredients in.

    The two ladies quarreled bitterly.

      Su Xiaoxiao took out the cutting board, sprinkled it with flour, and started making desserts.

      In the Qi family, it was Su Xiaoxiao who grabbed Jinji's business, and today, it was someone who robbed her business.

       Regardless of whether the third lady has the permission of the eldest lady, the second lady who moved out of the elder lady has unparalleled confidence.

      In this case, there is only one solution—the real strength!

      The other three cooks saw her cooking, and hurriedly took out their ingredients.

       "This kind of situation... is relatively rare." Shopkeeper Sun said awkwardly.

      The business is run by him, and it is really his responsibility to be so dirty.

       "It's okay." Su Xiaoxiao.

      Business involves risks and benefits. It is normal to have a little accident. The most important thing is to keep a calm mind.

       "Hey." Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao didn't blame himself, shopkeeper Sun breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little lucky.

      The little girl is young and has a big heart. She is capable of doing great things.

      The two wives quarreled until the end, but they didn't quarrel with each other, but the snacks on both sides were out of the oven.

      The master invited by the second lady made pea yellow and osmanthus cake. These are two snacks from Capital City, and many of them are not authentic.

       These three masters obviously have two brushes, and they are very authentic, with pure color and delicate taste.

      After they took it out, there were a few bad-looking pieces left in the pot.

       Shopkeeper Sun ran over to take a sneaky taste.

      He was taken aback!
