"It's okay, he's not an official, he's just a rich man.
“Speaking of the truth, my husband should call him cousin, but they are almost all relatives except Wufu, so I don’t usually try to get close to them.
"But he's not a bad person. Whenever relatives have difficulties, he's willing to give some money and lend a hand.
"When my father-in-law was alive, he helped his family, so he has always been very caring towards my family."
After hearing this, Mrs. Ye felt a little relieved.
A person who cherishes old friendships and knows how to repay kindness should not be too difficult to get along with.
Ye Hua continued, “But he’s been to the West before, and sometimes he always speaks things we don’t understand.
"But don't worry, it's okay if you don't understand, just listen.
"Oh, that's too much trouble. Why don't you just come with me? I can even help you out."
As Ye Hua spoke, he pulled Mrs. Ye up and walked out.
As soon as I walked out of the kitchen, I met Ye Xianglei holding Qingtian.
"Sister-in-law, Qingtian is full and I'm starting to feel sleepy now. I'm thinking about looking for you!"
Mrs. Ye quickly took off her apron and took Qingtian from Ye Xianglei's arms.
Qingtian was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes. He just leaned forward softly, relying entirely on instinct.
"Mom..." she called vaguely and put her face against Mrs. Ye's neck.
Perhaps she smelled a familiar scent, her little head tilted and she fell asleep directly in Mrs. Ye's arms.
Mrs. Ye patted Qingtian gently and looked at Ye Hua with an embarrassed expression.
Ye Hua thought to himself, could it be that Mrs. Ye would refuse to take any business just because the child is asleep?
"Please leave the child in my room and let Juan'er look after him for you, or ask your sister-in-law to help look after him for you.
"Come with me first. To be honest, many people have been asking about you today!
"As long as you can seize the opportunity, you may not have to worry about work from now until the New Year."
Today's return banquet was so successful that Ye Hua had unconsciously stood on the side of Mrs. Ye, just like Ye Juaner, and wanted to help her.
Mrs. Ye was not the kind of person who didn't know what was good for her, so she naturally understood that Ye Hua was doing this for her own good.
"I'll just carry Qingtian over," said Mrs. Ye. "This child is shy, but as long as I'm around, he'll sleep soundly. It won't interfere with anything."
Ye Hua was speechless at this moment. In her half-life, this was the first time she saw country people raising their children so preciously.
However, Ye Hua had seen this kind of thing twice and had become somewhat accustomed to it.
Ye Hua felt that holding the child would have no impact on other people asking him to hold a banquet. The only thing he had to worry about was whether there were too many people and the child would be woken up.
Ye Hua took Mrs. Ye directly to the main room.
At this time, most of the dishes on the table had been eaten, but some people were still reluctant to leave and continued to sit there drinking and chatting.
There was no shortage of people fawning over Mr. Jiang, but he was leaning back in his chair with his eyes half closed, and it was impossible to tell whether he was listening to what they were saying.
"Master, I've brought the chef to you. If you have any questions, just ask her yourself."
Although Ye Hua had just said in the kitchen that Mr. Jiang was just a rich man, he still spoke respectfully in front of him.
When Mrs. Ye came in, she saw that Mr. Jiang seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, so she plucked up the courage to take a few more glances at him.
Mr. Jiang looked to be in his fifties or sixties. He was not as fat as Mrs. Ye had imagined. On the contrary, he was quite thin.
As soon as they heard that today's chef had arrived, everyone in the room immediately focused their attention on Mrs. Ye.
Mr. Jiang also opened his eyes and looked over instantly.
Mrs. Ye was caught off guard and met his eyes. She was startled, then quickly looked away and lowered her head slightly.
The gazes and discussions of other people in the room made her even more uneasy, and she hugged Qingtian tightly in her arms, as if to absorb energy.
“It’s actually a woman?”
"He doesn't look very old, but his craftsmanship is quite good."
"Is this true? Judging from her appearance, she doesn't look like she has such good skills."
"There's something wrong with what you said. Can you tell whether a dish is delicious by looking at its face?
"Of course not. You don't have to pout. I have a basis for what I said."
"What's your basis? Tell me about it."
"Think about it, if you could cook as deliciously as she does, wouldn't you be cooking different dishes every day? And could you still be as thin as her?"
The men in the main room and the east room had all drunk some wine, and their speech was slurred.
I guess his mind isn't very clear, and he's talking more and more nonsense.
Mr. Jiang ignored them. Seeing that Mrs. Ye was still holding the child in her arms, he deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Did you cook all the dishes today?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, although his voice was not loud, the room instantly became quiet. Everyone else shut up tactfully and looked at Mrs. Ye, waiting for her answer.
"In response to Mr. Jiang, I cooked all the dishes today, and my sister-in-law helped me." Mrs. Ye answered honestly.
There was a commotion in the room.
"She really did it!"
"It's really not easy for one person to cook for five tables, with ten dishes on each table!"
"Where did such a talented chef come from? And she's a woman?"
"If you ask me, she must have been hired from out of town. Otherwise, with her excellent craftsmanship, it's impossible for her to not have even a little reputation in Fengle County."
