The group got on the carriage.

When Xiao Wu was at Jinji, he always followed Manager Sun around to discuss business. He has been to the provincial capital seven or eight times and is familiar with the terrain.

There were not many pedestrians on the street at that moment, so he did not take a shortcut and sped directly on the main road. Soon he arrived outside the side door of the Wang family.

Although the Wang family is a merchant family, their house is more imposing than that of the Qi family, and it seems to have been renovated in recent years. The colors of the walls and eaves are very fresh and elegant.

The third lady had already greeted the servant at the side door. After Manager Sun introduced himself, the servant brought them into the mansion and took them to the public kitchen.

There are three branches in the Wang family. The first branch is the legitimate son of Mr. Wang, and the second and third branches are both illegitimate children. Today is the first branch's legitimate grandson's one-year-old birthday banquet, and it is held in an exceptionally grand and festive manner.

The servants must have started working at three o'clock in the morning, and the backyard was brightly lit.

While leading the way, the servant glanced at the brother and sister from time to time, mainly at Su Xiaoxiao.

There was no way. Even if Su Xiaoxiao lost dozens of pounds, he was still a fat man in ancient times.

But compared to her original dark and fat self, she is now white and plump, and in a cute way.

"Qiu'er, who is it?"

A maid who was cleaning asked the boy in a low voice.

The servant whispered, "The cook that the Third Madam invited from Xinghua Town."

"From the town?" The maid curled her lips, obviously looking down on him. "What does the Third Madam think?"

"Hush..." The servant looked around, "Don't let the Third Madam hear this."

"I know, I know." The maid agreed and looked at Su Xiaoxiao a few more times. She was the most eye-catching among the group of people, and it was impossible not to notice her.

Su Xiaoxiao heard the conversation between the two clearly. There was a chain of contempt everywhere. People in the town looked down on people in the countryside, and people in the capital looked down on people in the town.

Just do your own job and don't worry about what others say.

The third lady thoughtfully prepared a small kitchen for them and told the servants to try their best to satisfy any food needs they had without them having to report to her specifically.

However, when the servant took them to the small kitchen that had been prepared early in the morning, he unexpectedly found someone inside.

Also a new face.

The servant was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who are you? Which room are you from?"

The middle-aged man who was preparing flour on the stove said, "We are the pastry chefs hired by your family."

The waiter said, "No, the dim sum chef is here."

"What happened?"

A gentle female voice sounded slowly from not far away.

The visitor seemed to be about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes, jewels, and tinkling earrings, looking extremely wealthy.

She was followed by a maid and a servant, both of whom were well dressed.

The servant turned around, bowed to the other party, and said respectfully, "Second Madam!"

The second lady smiled faintly and asked, "It's Lingqiu, what are you doing here?"

The servant named Ling Qiu said, "In reply to the Second Madam, I will bring the chefs to make snacks."

"Where did the dim sum chef come from?"

"From Xinghua Town."

"Who invited the town cook?"

"I invited you. Does Second Sister-in-law have any objection?"

The third lady came over with her maids and servants.

Her clothes were more plain than the second wife's, and she looked younger and prettier.

She stopped beside the servant and Manager Sun and their group and looked at the Second Lady opposite her.

Shopkeeper Sun was a shrewd man. How could he understand the two ladies' attitudes? The Wang family was headed by the eldest wife, and the first wife was in charge of the household affairs. The second and third masters were illegitimate children. On weekdays, the two wives would help the first wife to manage the affairs of the mansion, so open and covert struggles were inevitable.

The Second Madam sneered, "Sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Our Wang family is a well-known family in the capital. How can you hire a few cooks from the countryside?"

The Second Lady actually didn't know that Su Xiaoxiao was a country girl. It was just that to people in the city, everything in the town was considered the countryside.

The Third Madam sneered, "My eldest sister-in-law has given me full authority over this matter. I have the final say on who to invite, so Second sister-in-law doesn't need to worry about it! Those people inside are the cooks invited by Second sister-in-law, right? I heard they are from my mother's family. What Second sister-in-law said is right. Our Wang family is a well-known family. When my mother's family comes, they naturally have to be guests at the banquet. Why are they running to the kitchen to work? If it gets out, won't people laugh at our Wang family for not knowing how to entertain guests!"

The second wife was choked.

Bullshit in-laws, they were just introduced by my in-laws’ family. I deliberately said they were in-laws’ family in order to get this job.

Shopkeeper Sun touched his nose in dismay and said in a voice that only he and Su Xiaoxiao could hear: "Did you see that? When the gods fight, the little ghosts suffer."

Su Xiaoxiao watched the two ladies fight calmly.

"Big brother agreed!"

"Men are responsible for the outside affairs, while women are responsible for the inside affairs. The eldest sister-in-law always makes the decisions on matters in the harem!"

The second wife's backer is the eldest master, and the third wife's backer is the eldest wife. Neither of the two ladies can defeat the other.

While they were arguing, Su Xiaoxiao went into the kitchen to make some snacks.

"Make way." Su Xiaoxiao said to the cook in front of the stove.

The cook glanced at her.

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the kitchen knife.

The cook stepped back!

It was called a small kitchen, but in fact there were two stoves and four pots. Su Xiaoxiao occupied one stove and asked Xiao Wu and Su Ergou to bring in the ingredients.

The two ladies were arguing fiercely.

Su Xiaoxiao took out the chopping board, sprinkled flour on it, and started making snacks.

In the Qi family, it was Su Xiaoxiao who stole Jinji's business, but today, it was others who stole her business.

Regardless of whether the Third Lady obtained the First Lady's permission, the Second Lady, who had moved out of the Eldest Master, had unparalleled confidence.

In this case, there is only one solution - strength will show its true strength!

When the other three cooks saw her cooking, they quickly took out their ingredients.

"This situation... is quite rare." Shopkeeper Sun said embarrassedly.

He is the one who runs the business. If it fails, it will be his responsibility.

"It's okay." Su Xiaoxiao said.

Doing business involves risks and benefits. It is normal to have some minor accidents. The most important thing is to keep a calm mind.

"Eh." Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao did not blame him, Shopkeeper Sun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little fortunate.

The little girl is young, but she has a big mind and is capable of doing great things.

The two ladies argued till the end but nothing came to fruition, but the snacks on both sides were ready.

The chef invited by the second wife made pea yellow and osmanthus cake, which are two snacks that came from the capital. Most of those sold on the market are not authentic.

These three chefs are obviously very skilled at their craft. Their work is very authentic, with pure color and delicate taste.

After they took it out, there were a few pieces left in the pot that didn't look good.

Shopkeeper Sun ran over and secretly tasted two bites.

He was startled! (End of this chapter)
