After her brief chat with Pei Jun, Nan Xiangwan didn't waste any more time and went straight to the kitchen to tell Nan Haochen the news.
"Great, it's finally confirmed?"
“But how come Pei Jun owns a private testing agency? This kid seems to have some skills!” Nan Haochen said.
Ouyang Qian also breathed a sigh of relief. He had been so nervous since the beginning that he couldn't even drink water. They had prepared such a delicious feast for so long, and it would be really unacceptable if it were ruined by their own people.
They now know that Pei Jun will step in to help and has already found them a private testing agency.
As long as all the food backups are sent over now, Pei Jun can help them complete the testing within thirty minutes.
At this moment, Ouyang Qian not only relaxed, but the tension she had been holding in also gradually eased, and she even felt like crying.
"Why is this silly girl crying? Hasn't everything been taken care of?" Nan Haochen looked at her with great heartache.
Nan Xiangwan fully understood Ouyang Qian's current situation; he must feel like he had survived a disaster.
"Haochen, don't worry about it. I'll take care of Qianqian. You should deliver the things first. You must deliver them personally, and then you must personally participate in the testing with Pei Jun!"
"I don't trust anyone else, I only trust you and Pei Jun!"
Nan Xiangwan checked the time and realized that there was still enough time, but it was a bit tight.
However, he preferred to spend an extra forty minutes rather than hand the food over to someone else.
Nan Haochen nodded. He knew in his heart that there absolutely could not be any mistakes with these foods.
"Don't worry, sis, I'll personally take care of every step!"
"Wait for me here! I'll be right back as fast as I can!" Nan Haochen said.
Nan Xiangwan nodded; this kid finally knew how to handle this matter.
Seeing Nan Haochen deliver a large bag of food to the private testing center, Nan Xiangwan finally felt relieved, as she had some good news.
Zhan Siyu said, "Shall we go back and process all the ingredients that need processing?"
Since they had nothing better to do, they might as well follow the original steps and organize all the ingredients first. After all, even though the ingredients were ready, the cooking and preparation process would still take a long time.
The family dinner will begin in two and a half hours, so they have to start cooking now.
Ouyang Qian exclaimed, "Oh no, I feel like we're running out of time!"
They only prepared some side dishes in advance, without considering the cooking time for these side dishes.
Nan Xiangwan initially thought there was enough time, but it turned out to be such a big joke for them.
"We'll definitely find a way!" Nangong Chen said.
They were all in a state of panic; what other solutions could they possibly come up with at a time like this?
Nan Xiangwan said, "Then let's change the cooking method!"
He suddenly remembered something, abruptly raised his head, and went to the kitchen. Nangong Chen and Ouyang Qian exchanged a glance, feeling that Nan Xiangwan seemed to have thought of a good idea, so they quickly followed.
"What other options are there now? Miss Nan, what have you thought of?" Nangong Chen asked.
Now that they are at their wits' end, Nangong Chen is certainly willing to listen if Nan Xiangwan has a solution.
Nan Xiangwan said, "It's too late to start cooking these dishes now. Just think about it, it will take almost two hours just to finish cooking all this seafood!"
They've prepared a seafood feast for 500 people today, and cooking it all up would be a huge undertaking.
Nangong Chen couldn't refute it, after all, Nan Xiangwan was a more knowledgeable expert in this area.
Zhan Siyu pondered for a moment, then gradually frowned.
Two and a half hours left seems like plenty of time for them, but if they consider the workload for the day, then the time is far too short.
“Yes, we spent more than four hours on this, how could we possibly have enough time?” Zhan Siyu said.
Originally, Nan Xiangwan planned to prepare the food at the last minute in order to capture its freshest moment, but unexpectedly, it turned into a fatal trap.
Nangong Chen was speechless. Even if they managed to make the food despite the pressure of potential chemical residues in the ingredients, they might still end up not being able to eat it at all.
But that's not the most fatal thing. The most fatal thing is that time can't keep up.
"What should we do then? Miss Nan, have you thought of a good solution?" Nangong Chen had no choice but to pass the question on to Nan Xiangwan.
Because Nangong Chen was not an expert in this field, he was unable to answer the question immediately.
Nan Xiangwan said, "It's not impossible, but we need to change our way of thinking. We don't know if the Ye family will agree to our approach!"
They are currently facing too many problems, and they don't know which problem to solve first.
"No matter what, we must first make our stance clear. As for whether Grandpa Ye agrees with our approach, that's his business!"
"And the reputation will be better when the news gets out, at least it won't be because the food tested positive that the family banquet was canceled!"
Zhan Siyu has always thought things through very comprehensively; he had already considered all the possible consequences of this matter.
Nan Xiangwan nodded and said, "That's right. What we need to do is not just prepare delicious food, but also to develop a series of contingency plans!"
"Old Master Ye certainly doesn't want us to ruin a perfectly good family dinner. This matter is already widely known, and it won't be an easy task for us to handle it properly."
Nan Xiangwan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
He did have two solutions in mind, though he didn't know if they would work, but they were better than just waiting to die.
Old Master Ye will definitely do his best to cooperate with them in this regard, because he certainly doesn't want to embarrass himself in front of other families during a proper family banquet.
“Wanwan, Nangong and I are at a loss right now. If you have any ideas, feel free to speak up. Maybe we can offer some suggestions,” Zhan Siyu said.
Nan Xiangwan had made up his mind at this point. Regardless of whether the next plan was feasible or not, they had to try their best.
"Ah Zhan, there's no time to lose now. We can completely change the way the food festival is held, allowing all the guests to participate in the food preparation process!"
