During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
Because of the continuous rain, the villagers were trapped at home with nothing to do.
Ye Juan'er simply called the relatives who were going to marry off their daughter to her home, and also called Mrs. Ye over, saying that they should discuss the return banquet together.
Three women came to the other party's house.
Ye Juaner introduced her to Mrs. Ye, "This is my cousin. From my perspective, you can just call her Aunt Hua.
"She married into a neighboring village, not far from our Rongxi Village. It only takes half an hour to walk there.
“This is her daughter-in-law, you call her Sister-in-law Jiang.
"This is her daughter Qiuyi. She's getting married in a few days."
After introducing the newcomers, Ye Juaner introduced Sister Ye to them and said, "This is the eldest daughter-in-law I told you about. She cooks delicious food.
"We're both relatives. If you have anything you want to say or ask, don't be shy. Just say it face to face. Don't argue later and it will hurt feelings!"
Ye Juaner was quick-witted and explained everything clearly and concisely.
Then she said to her cousin and her family of three, "You came here in the rain today, so as the host, I must treat you well.
"I've prepared everything in advance. I'll stay here for lunch and have a taste of the eldest brother's wife's cooking."
When Ye Hua heard about staying here for lunch at noon, his expression changed a little.
After hearing the last sentence, she let out a long breath and said, "Sister Xiaojuan, you scared me. Fortunately, it was the eldest daughter-in-law who cooked it, otherwise who would dare to eat at your house!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Dasaozi and Jiang Qiuyi both lowered their heads and covered their mouths with their hands while laughing. They must have known Ye Juaner's "good cooking skills".
Ye Juan'er was not annoyed. It had been a long time since her cooking had been unpalatable.
"You don't have to laugh at me, I know my own cooking is not tasty.
"Big Boss's wife, show them your skills today and let them open their eyes!"
Ye Hua smiled and said, "Hearing you say that, I'm really looking forward to it."
"Don't worry, it will definitely exceed your expectations." Ye Juan'er guaranteed on behalf of Mrs. Ye.
After hearing this, Ye Hua naturally felt relieved.
In fact, if Ye Juaner hadn't strongly recommended her, she would not have considered inviting Mrs. Ye.
Apart from anything else, she was a little disdainful of the fact that he had just returned from outside the Great Wall.
It's not that I look down on Mrs. Ye, but I've heard before that outside the Great Wall, no matter what dish it is, they are just thrown into the pot and stewed. Not to mention whether it is exquisite or not, even the taste is hard to guarantee.
The main reason why she brought her wife and daughter here was because Ye Juaner made all kinds of promises to her.
On the way here, she was still thinking about what to say in order to get Ye Dasao's cooking skills first, but she was afraid of damaging the relationship and making Ye Juaner feel that he did not trust her.
Unexpectedly, after arriving, Ye Juaner was the first to bring up this matter, which made her feel relieved.
Mrs. Ye felt a little uneasy after hearing what Ye Juaner said.
She was kind enough to help me make money, so how could I ask her to spend money to buy things for others to taste!
Ye Juaner immediately saw what Ye Dasao was thinking and said to Ye Hua, "You three sit down first. I'll take the eldest son's wife to the kitchen to take a look."
The two of them entered the kitchen together. Before Sister Ye could speak, Ye Juaner said, "My dear wife, you don't have to bother with me about this.
"Even if I didn't help you with the matchmaking, I still have to entertain relatives when they come, right?
“My own cooking is not very good, so I either have to go out and buy ready-made food or ask someone to help me cook.
“Either you spend more money than necessary, or you end up owing favors.
"So you come to help me cook for my relatives and get this deal for yourself.
"No one owes anyone a favor, isn't this a win-win situation?"
After hearing what Ye Juaner said, Mrs. Ye also felt that it made sense.
But she didn't expect that if it wasn't for helping her take on this job, Ye Juan'er would have no need to invite Ye Hua and his family of three to dinner at home.
Ye Juan'er was sincerely thinking for Sister Ye, and patted her on the shoulder and said, "This is your first time to go out and prepare a banquet for someone. People don't know your cooking skills, so naturally they are worried.
"But as long as you can take on this job, you won't have to work so hard in the future.
"Think about it, Xiaohua's family has to set up five tables for the return banquet. If each table holds ten people, there will be about forty or fifty people!
“These 40 or 50 people have tasted the food you cooked. As long as they think it’s delicious, you don’t need to ask them to do anything. They will spread the word about you soon after they go back.
"After the autumn harvest, there are many happy events. As long as you can seize this opportunity, you will definitely make a lot of money this autumn."
"Aunt, you've planned so well for me. I don't know how to thank you." Mrs. Ye was moved and held Ye Juan'er's hand. "Don't worry, I will definitely use 120% of my strength to prepare this banquet."
"What's there to thank me for? You just came back from outside the Great Wall, isn't it my duty to help you out?
"What's more, usually it's your family that helps my family more.
"If I can help you this time, I will be happier than you!"
"Okay, Auntie, I won't be polite with you. I'll go back and tell my family and come over to prepare lunch soon."
"Go ahead." Ye Juan'er said as she saw Mrs. Ye out. When she reached the door, she remembered and said, "Bring Qingtian over later to have lunch together."
"Auntie, no need, Qingtian..."
Just as Mrs. Ye was about to refuse, Ye Xianglei popped his head out of the wing room and yelled, "Sister-in-law, bring Qingtian over to play with us!"
