"Butler Bai, these three are the temporary kitchen helpers I found. This is my mother, and the other two are villagers," Song Muqiang introduced.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Song. Take them to the kitchen and wait there. I don't have time to make arrangements right now."

Song Muqiang still needed to sell firewood, so he didn't stay long.

“Butler Bai naturally has many things to do. Please tell us the menu for today’s wedding banquet so we can start preparing accordingly,” Su Yun’er said.

What Su Yun'er said was originally a normal procedure, but Butler Bai frowned even more after hearing it.

"We have a menu, but we're out of ingredients right now."

"Huh? Why is that?" He Liu asked in surprise.

Butler Bai sighed and waved his hand helplessly: "We prepared everything a few days ago, but who knew the temperature would suddenly drop tonight, and most of the vegetables are frozen. The meat is fine, but without vegetables, we can't prepare a proper wedding feast!"

"Butler Bai, take us to see him, and let's think of a solution together," Su Yun'er said.

Just as Steward Bai was about to speak, a servant came running over: "Steward Bai, we've been to several vegetable shops, but none of them are open yet. What should we do? We haven't been able to buy a single leaf of vegetable."

"That won't do! Even if we have to steal it now, we have to steal the vegetables!" Butler Bai slapped his thigh, both angry and furious.

Upon seeing this, the servant immediately shut up and ran away in a flash.

Sighing, Butler Bai led the group outside the kitchen and pointed to the pile of vegetables outside the kitchen door. Su Yun'er went over and looked at them one by one. Sure enough, the vegetable leaves were frozen solid, turning dark green and having a semi-transparent, jelly-like appearance. This was a typical sign that the vegetables had been damaged by freezing. Once they thawed in the heat, these vegetables would turn into a puddle of green mud.

No wonder Butler Bai was in such a hurry; even if he went to buy them now, it would be difficult to find such a large quantity of vegetables in time.

However, this was not a difficult task for Su Yun'er.

She had already stocked up on nearly 200 kilograms of various vegetables in the space, as well as seasonings such as scallions, ginger, and garlic, and root vegetables such as potatoes, yams, and radishes. The warehouse was almost overflowing.

We can use the wedding banquet to use up all these vegetables.

"Butler Bai, don't worry, I can help you with the vegetables."

"Oh? Young lady, don't try to fool me. I'm in a real crisis." Butler Bai's eyes lit up with hope, but he was still hesitant to believe it.

"I wouldn't dare tell you something so important. It's just that the dishes will be a bit pricey. But the presentation is excellent, and the taste is simply superb."

"I don't care about the price, as long as I can buy it and it's an emergency, I'll pay any price." Butler Bai's expectations had reached 60%. "But will it really be delivered in time?"

"Absolutely, and there's a wider variety than here. However, I wonder if the price is acceptable to Butler Bai? And how many kilograms of vegetables do you need?"

Su Yun'er needed to confirm the price with Butler Bai first.

"Regardless of the type of vegetables, we'll need about 180 catties. I wonder what the price is for the vegetables you've found, young lady?"

"Because there are too many varieties, it's difficult to quote prices for each one individually, so the price is uniformly eight copper coins per pound," Su Yun'er said.

This price was the price I paid on my first day selling vegetables at the market. Asking the Xu family for this price wasn't exactly asking for an exorbitant amount.

"It's a bit pricey, but as long as the vegetables are good and there's enough of them, it's fine!"

"Alright, then I'll trouble Steward Bai to pay a deposit of five hundred coins first."

"Alright, alright, that's no big deal. I'll arrange for someone to go with you to pick up the vegetables right away." Butler Bai was overjoyed. Not daring to waste any time, he immediately turned around to find someone to arrange a vehicle to pick up the vegetables and went to collect the deposit.

"Yun'er, do you really have that many dishes?" He Liu found it unbelievable and worried that Su Yun'er was just putting on a show.

"Auntie, don't worry," Su Yun'er said. "I won't do anything reckless. You and Aunt Song can wait for me here."

Su Yun'er got into the donkey cart brought by the Xu family's servant and directed the servant to a spot not far from the dock.

Because Su Yun'er had been buying tofu pudding at the dock for more than twenty days and frequently passed by the area, she had become familiar with the surroundings.

Not far from the dock, there was a dilapidated little wooden hut with three rooms on either side. I don't know what it was used for before, but now it's broken and no one uses it.

This place is already remote, and it's just getting light, so no one will pass by. There's no need to worry about being discovered.

Su Yun'er told the Xu family servant to wait outside, and went into the small house first.

She selected some vegetables and root vegetables from her spatial storage and piled them up in the small house.

Then she called the servant in.

The servant pushed open the door and was both surprised and delighted to see the room almost full of vegetables.

"Young lady, how come there are so many vegetables here?"

"Young man, don't ask so many questions. Just load the cart. Let's hurry back, or we'll be late."

The servant readily agreed, quickly loaded the cart, and drove Su Yun'er back to the Xu family at breakneck speed.

Seeing the truckload of vegetables, Butler Bai beamed with joy, repeatedly thanking Su Yun'er for solving her urgent problem.

After weighing them one by one, they not only weighed 180 jin (approximately 90 kg), but also exceeded that weight.

Butler Bai took out a small piece of silver: "Here is the remaining silver, young lady, please keep it safe."

"Butler Bai, this is too much money." Su Yun'er was about to ask for change, but Butler Bai stopped her.

"Thank you so much for today's help. Without these vegetables, the host's plans would have been completely ruined, and it wouldn't have been just a matter of a few dozen coins. You've been a great help today, young lady. Please accept the extra few dozen coins as a small token of my gratitude." Butler Bai spoke earnestly, and Su Yun'er couldn't refuse any longer.

The vegetables are all in place, and the meat and fish were prepared in advance. These two foods are not afraid of the cold; the colder they are, the better they are preserved.

All the food was plentiful, and Su Yun'er and her three skillful cooks prepared a variety of dishes for the wedding banquet that were delicious and visually appealing.

Because the vegetables Su Yun'er brought were different from those originally prepared by the Xu family, the previously arranged wedding banquet menu could not be used directly.

Each of the three was responsible for a few dishes. The dishes made by Aunt Song and He Liu were mostly steamed or boiled, and the seasoning was relatively simple. They tasted very good, but after eating them for a while, they felt that the taste was bland.

Su Yun'er, on the other hand, prefers to stir-fry over high heat or deep-fry in plenty of oil, and uses a variety of seasonings.

Su Yun'er was assigned to cook with chicken. The local wedding banquet custom in Qingshui County is to stew chicken, but Aunt Song and her husband had already stewed many things. Su Yun'er decided to change the cooking method and make braised chicken.

Braised chicken was very popular in the past. A bowl of chicken soup with a rich flavor and a bowl of rice was enough to satisfy the hunger of working people.
