The Xu family's small restaurant was bustling with customers, including porters who sold their labor and landlords with decent means of living.

Don't underestimate this small restaurant; it offers a full range of cuisines, and most importantly, it features a daily special.

This reduces the options for people who don't know what to eat. If they really want something, they can tell the owner and they can cook it for them when they have time.

The dishes were delicious and visually appealing, and some of them I had never seen before. I felt that I couldn't fully appreciate their flavor after just one meal, and I would have to come back and try them several more times.

In addition, with the weather so hot, if you're willing to spend the money, you can have a bowl of iced glutinous rice ball milk tea; if you're not, you can drink the lotus leaf tea that the shop offers for free. Both are good for cooling down and relieving the summer heat.

This is the first time our small restaurant has ever received a banquet order after being open for so long.

This job was actually brought to me by Fu Man'er unintentionally.

The little girl sometimes liked to listen to other people gossip. Coincidentally, Aunt Zhang's family in the village was about to welcome a new bride.

The elderly couple worked themselves to the bone, and their son lived up to their expectations, buying two small rooms in town, though the yard wasn't very big.

But it was still a place to stay, and Aunt Zhang felt quite proud of herself. Moreover, her son had even found a girl from the town to be his wife.

This made Aunt Zhang smile from ear to ear, but after the joy came worry.

Where can we hold this banquet?

She initially preferred a house in town, but the yard was so cramped that even three tables couldn't fit side by side.

The house only has two rooms. One is the young couple's wedding room, and the other is a living room in the front half and a kitchen in the back half, so it can't be used either.

There isn't even enough space to cook.

Since the house in town was no longer suitable, Aunt Chen had to settle for the old house in the village. Although it was a bit dilapidated, it was adequate.

She had just made up her mind when a heavy rain came and washed away the mud walls in her yard. After a night of flooding, the yard looked like a small pond.

Even if it's cleaned up, what kind of mess is this courtyard wall with only half of it missing?

Someone muttered, "What's going on with making the new bride's family look like this?"

Aunt Chen took it to heart, and now she's complaining to some of the older women and younger girls.

"What should we do? It's been raining non-stop all night, and we can't even build this wall."

His yard is made of mud, so it's fine when it doesn't rain, but it's really a headache when it does.

"If all else fails, you can just borrow someone's yard."

Someone suggested a plan, but Aunt Chen didn't like it: to conduct business in someone else's yard.

Firstly, it's inconvenient, and secondly, I'd owe someone a favor.

Secondly, she didn't want her in-laws to look down on her son.

Everyone offered their opinions, but ultimately no one could solve Aunt Chen's troubles.

"Pah! Do you think I don't know? You just can't stand to see my family doing well and want to see me make a fool of myself."

After those people left, Aunt Chen couldn't help but spit.

After she finished cursing, she was about to leave when she turned around and saw Fu Man'er squatting next to the tree root.

Fu Man'er was holding a peach in her hands; it was hard to tell whether her hands were too small or the peach was too big.

He squatted there obediently, staring blankly at Aunt Chen, looking just like a little fairy.

Aunt Chen's face immediately lit up with a smile when she saw her: "Man'er, why don't you let Grandma Chen hold you? It's so hot sitting on the ground."

Fu Man'er usually runs under this big tree. There are many stone benches under the tree, and all the aunts and gossipy women love to come here.

Everyone who saw Fu Man'er was so well-behaved and adorable, and so charming, and she spoke so sweetly, that everyone wanted to give her a hug as soon as she arrived.

"Grandma Chen, it's cool here." Now that it's hot, many people smell of sweat, which she doesn't like, so she sits on the tree root and doesn't get close to them.

"Oh my, our Man'er is so pretty, I love her so much." Aunt Chen couldn't resist touching her chubby little face.

When my son gets married, I hope he will have a beautiful baby and raise him to be as blessed as Fuman'er.

Most people in the village prefer boys to girls, but when Aunt Chen saw Fu Man'er, she thought that a little girl was not bad either, she was so pretty.

"Hehe." Fu Man'er grinned and handed over the peach in her hand, "Grandma Chen, have a peach."

The peaches in her hand were big and red, and didn't look like wild peaches picked from the mountain; they were probably bought by the Xu family.

Everyone says the Xu family dotes on this adopted girl, and it's true; such a big peach must cost several coins.

They're willing to let such a little baby run around in their arms. Who knows if the baby can finish eating it all, or if the older kids will snatch it away.

"Grandma Chen doesn't want to eat, you eat." Now that she has some savings, she can buy what she wants to eat herself, so there's no need for her to take food from a child.

Fu Man'er didn't try to persuade her anymore. She took a bite herself, but only ate a small piece of the peach skin.

"Grandma Chen, if you want to hold a banquet, you can go to the restaurant that your parents own."

After swallowing the peach peel, Fu Man'er finally spoke.

She's been here for a little while and knows what Grandma Chen is troubled about.

Back when she was still a fisherwoman, she had seen many wedding banquets held in restaurants.

"To a restaurant?" Aunt Chen thought for a moment, then realized, "That's right, why didn't I think of that?"

"But that must cost a lot of money." Holding a banquet in a restaurant sounds prestigious; there aren't many families in this village that do that.

However, it cost quite a bit of money.

Fu Man'er was also clueless about money; she didn't have much of a concept of it.

"I can ask my parents how much it costs to hold a banquet."

"Grandma Chen, how many people are you inviting for dinner? How many dishes do you want per table?"

Fu Man'er had been working at the restaurant for a while, and when asked questions, she seemed quite knowledgeable.

Just as Aunt Chen was about to speak, she looked at her childish face.

What are you talking about? How could a child understand that?

"Man'er, how about this, when your parents come back, I'll go to your house and ask." I can't think of a suitable place right now, but this is something I can consider.

"Grandma Chen, you can go to my family's restaurant first and see if it's small enough, and also see how my parents cook."

Fu Man'er wasn't sure if she was being perfunctory or serious, so she added another sentence.

My mother's cooking is so delicious, even if Grandma Chen doesn't hold banquets there, she might still be able to smell the aroma and buy some food there.

This way, she can also bring a small business to her parents while staying at home.

She is truly an exceptionally intelligent person despite her ordinary appearance.

Aunt Chen left quickly, and Fu Man'er stood up, jumped around in place, and tried to wipe the mud off her bottom.

As it was getting dark, Xu Genshan and his wife returned, and Old Mrs. Xu went to open the door.

"You two are so happy because you found money."

Xu Genshan laughed even harder, "Mother, something good happened today."

"What is it?" Old Mrs. Xu perked up. There had been enough good things happening in the family already, and now there was more.

Xu Genshan entered the courtyard and saw Fu Man'er standing at the entrance of the main room. He quickly went over and picked her up.

"You know, Man'er is our family's lucky star. Someone came to our restaurant to book a banquet today."

"Huh? Booking a banquet?" Old Xu also stood up. This is something that can only be booked at restaurants, but people can book the small restaurant in his family.

"Yes, the deposit has been received." Xu Genshan looked triumphant as he carried the person into the house and recounted what had happened that day.

It turned out that after separating from Fu Man'er, Aunt Chen went home, called her husband and son, and went to town.

She took Fu Man'er's words to heart, but instead of going to the Xu family restaurant right away, she went to another restaurant first.

She looked down on places that were deserted, and those that were crowded were too expensive, so she wasn't willing to pay more. After looking around, she had a general idea of ​​the prices.

Finally, we went to Xu's Restaurant. It had been simply renovated and was spacious and bright, with clean and tidy counters. Aunt Chen was satisfied with just looking at it.

It's not even lunchtime yet, but there are already two or three tables occupied. The dishes look very appetizing.

Since they were all from the same village, it wasn't difficult for them to get along. Xu Genshan and Liu Fang discussed the wedding date with the Chen family and then the dishes to prepare.

The total price was one tael more than what Aunt Chen paid.

When Xu Genshan saw that she hesitated, he immediately said he would give her another discount, making sure she got more than her money's worth.

Liu Fang had overheard a bit of what was going on at Aunt Chen's house, and immediately added a few more words, successfully getting Aunt Chen under her thumb.

You don't need to ask for help, you don't owe anyone favors, and you can even hold a banquet in town, which will save face for the villagers and your in-laws. You won't have to worry about anything yourself.

Upon hearing this, the Chen family realized it made sense, and the price was even more reasonable than what they had inquired about before. They immediately made the decision, paid the deposit, and the matter was settled.
