Chapter 105 The Song Mansion Invites
Old Madam Song has had trouble sleeping for many years.
If it weren't for the fact that the servants around Old Madam Song were all personally selected and trustworthy, General Song would have suspected that this was someone else's conspiracy.
No matter how rare it is, it is just a fruit. How can it cure so many diseases?
"If there is no fruit, buy something else that the old lady likes to eat!" General Song ordered.
The little maid wanted to say something but stopped herself.
The careless General Song was unusually patient when it came to his mother's affairs. Seeing the little maid's expression was off, he immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
"The young master went to a restaurant for dinner a few days ago and brought back a few boxes of cakes for the old lady. After eating them, the old lady's appetite improved a lot. Unexpectedly, when she went to the restaurant to buy more later, she was told that the egg yolk cakes were sold out. The other cakes tasted the same as before. The lady didn't want us to bother you with such a small matter..."
General Song originally planned to send someone to take a look, but after thinking it over, he decided to go there himself.
When General Song brought his men to Baiweizhai, Manager Song was having a headache.
Today, many customers came to ask when the egg yolk cakes would be available again, and they also said that the snacks at the restaurant tasted different recently. They kept asking, openly and secretly, if they had changed the chef...
When Manager Song was feeling annoyed, the waiter came to report that General Song was coming to the restaurant for dinner and wanted to see him.
Shopkeeper Song was frightened for a moment, but then he became excited again. General Song came to the restaurant to eat and wanted to see him. Did this mean that he was going to be rich?
But what he didn't expect was that General Song was asking about pastries just like those people.
Shopkeeper Song was extremely reluctant to tell General Song the news about Jiang Tangtang.
However, he had been doing business in Raoying County for many years and knew the power of General Song. Even if he didn't tell him, he could easily find out.
Therefore, Shopkeeper Song finally told the truth about Jiang Tangtang putting the food on consignment in the restaurant.
After seeing off General Song and his entourage, Shopkeeper Song collapsed directly into his chair.
"Dad, why did you tell General Song everything? Isn't this just giving benefits to that ungrateful woman?"
Thinking about the humiliation he suffered at the Lu family that day, Song Wenfu felt extremely angry and unwilling to accept it.
He was still thinking about teaching that low-class criminal a lesson!
If that ungrateful bitch hooks up with General Song, will he still have a chance to deal with her in the future?
Shopkeeper Song took a long break before recovering. He took a sip of tea from his cup and said, "Don't worry, it wouldn't be that easy for that bitch to get close to General Song without him."
"Dad, what do you mean?" Song Wenfu asked in confusion, "General Song condescended to come to our restaurant in person to inquire about that woman. Could it be that he was attracted by her cooking skills?"
Shopkeeper Song said, "Is it so easy to get along with General Song? She's just a cook. Even if General Song is impressed by her skills, he'll just treat her as a servant."
Having said that, the shopkeeper Song was still very jealous when he thought about the chef who was favored by General Song.
Looking at his son, he couldn't help but say, "You said you wasted so many things, why can't you make that egg yolk pastry?"
Song Wenfu was unconvinced and said, "If everyone learned in that way, there would be no unique secret recipes in the world."
Shopkeeper Song heaved a long sigh, all his resentment, jealousy, and resentment contained in that sigh.
On the other hand, after General Song came out of Baiweizhai, he frowned and said to himself, "Why is it Zhounanzhuang again?"
The word Zhounanzhuang has appeared too frequently recently.
"Sir, how about I send someone to check it out!" The attendant said hurriedly when he saw it.
"No need, I think it's just a coincidence!" General Song waved his hand and ordered, "Tell the housekeeper to go to Zhounan Village and invite Jiang to work as a cook in the mansion. Ask for a higher price!"
General Song's men worked quickly, and early the next morning, a carriage stopped at the Lu family's door.
"Is this the Jiang family's residence?" Steward Song sniffed the aroma in the air and already had his answer. Even a breakfast that smelled so good must have belonged to the legendary Madam Jiang.
"I wonder who you are? What do you want to see my wife about?" Lu Shiyan glanced at Butler Song and said coldly.
Steward Song's heart skipped a beat when he was glanced at him. This man had such a strong aura, even more powerful than the general.
After realizing that he had such thoughts in his mind, Butler Song quickly cursed in his heart. He was just a criminal, how could he compare to the general.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become arrogant. "I'm the housekeeper of the Song Mansion. I came to see Madam Jiang because my old lady likes to eat the snacks made by Madam Jiang. I want to invite Madam Jiang to help in the kitchen! Don't worry about the money——"
Before he could finish his words, Lu Shiyan interrupted him coldly: "No!"
Steward Song said, "I'm afraid you're new here, so there are some things you don't understand. Our Song Mansion is not an ordinary mansion. Our old lady is the mother of General Song. Everyone in the county is proud to work here. I advise you to think carefully before answering."
"I won't go to any mansion!" Lu Shiyan was firm! He already felt guilty enough about letting his wife support the family, so how could he possibly let her work as a servant in his mansion?
"I want to see Madam Jiang," Steward Song said loudly, "Our master said that as long as Madam Jiang is willing to help in the kitchen at our house, you can name your wages! A hundred or a thousand taels is no problem."
He shouted so loudly that not only Jiang Tangtang who was busy in the kitchen, but also the Ge family next door heard it.
Hearing that a cook's wages were so high, the Ge family was shocked and came to the courtyard where the Lu family lived.
Ge Ersao even pointed at herself and asked Butler Song, "Do you think I can help in the kitchen? I don't want a hundred or a thousand taels, just fifty or sixty taels a year will do!"
Butler Song didn't even look at Ge Ersao, just waiting for Jiang Tangtang to give an answer.
"I'm so sorry, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, but my husband and I have the same idea." Jiang Tangtang
"Have you thought it through?" Butler Song's face changed!
He has been the housekeeper of the Song Mansion for many years, but this is the first time he has met such an ungrateful person!
In this county, who wouldn't be proud to have a relationship with the Song family?
The couple actually rejected him!
"I've thought it through!" Jiang Tangtang didn't want to offend the powerful, so she said kindly, "If Old Madam Song likes the food I cook, I'll send it to her often in the future. Besides, I'm planning to open a shop in the county town, so it will be convenient for her to get whatever she wants in the future!"
Her kind attitude was of no use. Butler Song had already decided that the two of them were ungrateful. He sneered and walked away.
Watching the Song Mansion's carriage drive away, the Ge family felt very regretful.
"Sister Jiang, this is such a good thing, why did you refuse it?" Mrs. Ge sighed, regretting that Butler Song had not invited her.
