"Who would have thought that after today's banquet, I would realize that you were not exaggerating at all, but were actually quite restrained in your words."
"Who said it wasn't? Who could have imagined before we ate that the chef's cooking skills would be so good today?"
Upon hearing this, Yan said, "Oh, you were talking about her before? I thought it was just some ignorant kid talking nonsense!"
“You don’t know her, so you don’t believe it.
"If I had known it was Xiaofang who said it, I would have believed it a long time ago.
“The Qin family and the Ye family have such a good relationship, maybe they are helping the Ye family spread some information so that we country bumpkins who have never tasted good food can be mentally prepared.
"Otherwise, if we suddenly eat such delicious food, won't we be dizzy with fragrance?"
Everyone laughed after hearing what Yan said, but they also nodded while laughing.
What Yan said was a little funny, but it did make some sense.
Now Qin Xiaofang had just said that she didn't say these words, but as soon as she left the house, she was immediately exposed by the guests.
Although she didn't dare to look back, Qin Xiaofang could still clearly feel Ye Hua's burning gaze, which was locked on her tightly.
Qin Xiaofang felt as if she had been burned. She did not bother to wait for her mother to come out. She took two steps at a time and left the Jiang family ahead of everyone else.
Yan didn't understand what was going on, and subconsciously took two steps after her, shouting, "Hey, Xiaofang, why are you running away? Aren't you waiting for your mother?"
There were too many people around, so Ye Hua didn't say anything more and just winked at Yan.
Yan immediately understood and stopped asking questions.
After almost all the guests had left, there was no one in the east wing.
Jiang Rongyu took the content that he had arranged and copied according to the time, as well as some deposits paid in advance, and handed them over to Mrs. Ye.
"Sister-in-law, there are twelve families who want to invite you to prepare banquets, five of which are birthday banquets, and seven are wedding banquets or return banquets.
"Ten families have already paid the deposit, and I took it upon myself to charge each family half a tael of silver.
“But I also made it clear to them that paying a deposit was not your requirement, I just wanted to do my best to help them.
“So it’s not like the matter is settled once the money is paid.
“If you see someone who is not convenient to pick up, just let them know as soon as possible and refund their deposit.”
Mrs. Ye didn't expect that Jiang Rongyu, who looked only in his teens, could be so steady and thorough in his work. It could be said that there was no loophole and he had considered every aspect for her.
"Thank you so much! You've thought it through so thoroughly." Mrs. Ye looked at the final result he had copied and turned to Ye Hua, praising him. "Auntie Hua, you've truly given birth to a good son. He's sure to become a great man in the future!"
"What's the big deal? I'll be satisfied if I can be better than his father and his brother." Ye Hua said this, but his eyes were full of pride.
Jiang Rongfei said aggrievedly, "It's fine if you want the second child to surpass dad, after all, it can be said that the disciple is better than the master.
“Why do you have to bring me along every time?
"I'm already a father after all, can't you give me some face?"
This made everyone laugh again.
After Yan finished laughing, she rolled up her sleeves and said to Ye Hua, "Okay, the guests have all left. I'll help you clean up."
Before he finished speaking, Lin came out of the house carrying a basin of used dishes.
"Hey, you guys are all standing outside talking? I was wondering why you guys are gone after you went out to see someone off. Did you send them home?"
Seeing Lin helping with the work so actively and proactively, Ye Hua and Yan both looked embarrassed for a moment.
However, Ye Hua quickly realized that no matter what Qin Xiaofang did, it should not involve the relationship between him and Lin.
So she reached out to take the basin and said, “Who knew you wouldn’t even wait for us and would start packing in such a hurry.
"Come on, help me clean the table, I'll wash the dishes."
Seeing this, Mrs. Ye subconsciously reached out to help. After all, she had helped someone prepare a banquet outside the customs before, and she had to stay to help clean up afterwards.
We do all this outside the customs and we don’t get paid!
Ye Juan'er stopped her, pulled her aside and whispered, "Are you stupid? You're a chef now, how can you still do things like clearing the table and washing dishes?"
"Ah? Aunt, what do you mean?"
Although she was appreciated by Mr. Jiang and received so many business orders at once, Mrs. Ye herself was not aware of this change in status at all.
"Didn't Mr. Jiang invite you to prepare a banquet for the nobles in the capital, and he already arranged for you to help in the kitchen?
"So many people have heard about this today. When it spreads from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, it will soon be known to everyone in the surrounding area.
"Your worth by then will be completely different from what it is now!
“When you go out to cook in the future, they will have to prepare the food themselves and help in the kitchen. You will only be responsible for seasoning and cooking, and let them do everything else.
"You must not do rough work like clearing tables and washing dishes. Doing so would lower your own value. Do you understand?
"After Mr. Jiang's flower-viewing banquet is over, as long as you don't make any mistakes, you will be a big shot in the future!"
"Auntie, you're exaggerating, aren't you?"
"What do you know? Just listen to me. That's the right thing to do. Remember?"
"Okay, auntie, I'll remember it." Before Mrs. Ye finished her words, she heard a rumbling sound from her stomach.
Mrs. Ye's face turned red all of a sudden. She had just taken two bites when she was called to meet Mr. Jiang, and she didn't get to fill her stomach at all.
Qingtian heard it clearly in her arms and immediately asked worriedly, "Mom, your stomach is growling. Are you hungry? Didn't you have lunch?"
