Ten taels of silver! That’s ten taels of silver!
Not to mention cooking three meals, even six meals will do!
When the time comes, I can ask the third son’s wife to help and just give her one or two taels of silver.
The people in the main room who were craning their necks to listen heard nothing, so they all looked into the room curiously.
But only Jiang Rongfei, who was standing at the door, saw the number that Jiang Yuanwai compared and immediately took a breath.
Ten taels of silver for cooking three meals?
I don’t know how much this homecoming banquet cost today.
He couldn't help but think about it in his mind.
The chef’s wages are calculated at three or two taels, and since we bought so much meat at home, it must have cost a lot of money.
Jiang Rongfei sucked his teeth with a bit of heartache.
But thinking about today's return banquet, it really gave me a lot of face.
Just now when he was having dinner, all the cousins at the table praised the food highly, and he felt relieved a little.
Besides, there is only one girl and only one return party, so it is only right to organize it well.
At this time, Mrs. Ye in the room quickly calmed down after a moment of ecstasy.
"Mr. Jiang, besides cooking three meals, I'm afraid you have other requests?"
Sure enough, Mr. Jiang looked at her in surprise, as if he didn't expect her to be so smart.
“That’s right, if you agree, you must go to the county starting tomorrow.
“All dishes must be cooked in front of me at least once, and I must eat them to my satisfaction.
"Time is running out before the flower viewing banquet, so we must hurry."
Mrs. Ye thought about it after hearing this, eight days for food tasting plus two days for cooking, wouldn’t that be ten days in total?
If you calculate it this way, ten taels of silver for ten days is not a lot.
But then Mr. Jiang said, "I will provide you with food and lodging during the few days of tasting the dishes, and I will also give you 500 coins a day. How about that?
"If you cook well that day and the nobles enjoy the meal, they might even give you a reward!"
Mrs. Ye was moved again when she heard this and was about to agree when Qingtian in her arms suddenly moved and changed position.
She hesitated immediately.
There is nothing wrong at home, but Qingtian is so attached to me now. If she leaves for ten days and can't find her mother, she will definitely cry, right?
Ye Hua already understood Mrs. Ye's thoughts too well at this point. When he saw her lower her head to look at the child, he knew what she was thinking about again.
If this was her own niece, she would have slapped her twice in the morning to wake her up.
He is not a newborn baby. He is already three years old and almost four years old. How come he can't let go at all?
Ye Hua sighed in his heart and spoke up for her, "Master, I still need to go back and discuss this matter with my family, right?
"Besides, her child is still young and can't leave his mother..."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang thought that Mrs. Ye had younger children at home, so he said, "You can bring your husband and children to the city. I'll cover their food and lodging, but..."
When Mrs. Ye heard that she could bring her husband and children, she immediately became excited.
To be honest, if she were to go alone, she would be a little scared!
But when she heard the last three words, Mrs. Ye's heart began to lift again.
I only heard Mr. Jiang say, "It's just that they don't have any wages."
"Of course, of course!" Mrs. Ye said repeatedly. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Actually, my sister-in-law is cooking with me today. She's been helping me..."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang said, "Actually, I've already hired a few kitchen helpers. The reason I asked you to go to the city tomorrow is also for this reason. I want you to have more time to get used to each other so that it will be easier for you to cooperate."
Mrs. Ye quickly said, "You don't need to pay her extra wages. I'll pay her from my own wages."
First of all, she could understand that Mrs. Ye was eager to make money and wanted to help her, not to leave her alone.
Secondly, everything Mr. Jiang said was too unreal and too unfamiliar to her, and she urgently needed an acquaintance to help her.
Mr. Jiang didn't expect that Mrs. Ye, who had been timid about her own affairs before, suddenly became much more resolute when it came to letting her sister-in-law help in the kitchen.
He guessed what Mrs. Ye was thinking and thought she probably wanted someone she could trust to help her, so he said, "You don't have to pay for it yourself. It's just a kitchen helper, not a big deal. Just give her the same treatment as the other kitchen helpers."
"That's great, thank you so much. We'll go there early tomorrow morning." Mrs. Ye thanked her repeatedly, and then asked, "But I don't know where to find you after we get to the city?"
Seeing that the matter was finally settled, Ye Hua breathed a sigh of relief. Without waiting for Mr. Jiang to speak, he told her, "When you enter the city, just find a passerby and ask him where Mr. Jiang lives. Everyone in the city knows where he lives."
"Auntie Xiaohua, I've got that in mind." Mrs. Ye said.
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Mr. Jiang stood up and prepared to leave.
The main room was already crowded with people, but when they saw him coming out, they immediately parted ways and squeezed out a path for him to leave smoothly.
Jiang Zhongyou took Jiang Rongfei out to see the guests off, while the others rushed into the east room and surrounded Ye Hua and Ye Dasao.
"Chef, I want to celebrate my father's birthday on the sixth day of next month. It doesn't conflict with Mr. Jiang's flower viewing banquet!"
"And me, it's my sixtieth birthday at the end of the year..."
"My son is getting married, and I'm asking you to prepare a wedding banquet. There's still a month left, so I'll give you the deposit now..."
