"Let's do it after the birthday banquet." Du Jiaqi thought and said.
"Then you need to pay half of the deposit first." Yi Yami said.
"Okay, I'll give it to you later. I don't have that many banknotes on me." Du Jiaqi replied.
Yi Yami nodded and began to write the contract and the menu.
Du Jiaqi took a look at the contract, confirmed that it was correct, and signed it.
Yi Yami took out the menu and said, "Mr. Du, these deep-sea lobsters are 100 taels each. They're hard to catch, but I happen to have connections here so I can get them. How many would you like to get?"
Du Jiaqi thought it was a bit expensive, but he still felt that it was okay to be extravagant for the old man's birthday party. "Just make four and put them on the table for the main relatives."
"Okay, that's four deep-sea lobsters. How about king crabs? They're also from the deep sea, super big, two hundred taels each." Yi Yami asked with a smile.
"Bring one and put it on the main table." Du Jiaqi felt a little sorry for the money.
"Okay, no problem. As for other marine creatures, I have written them down. Take a look. This is the price list. I can have someone salvage them according to your needs." Yiyami pushed the price list in front of him.
Du Jiaqi took a look and fortunately the other things were not very expensive, so he ordered with confidence.
"Is there anything that Mr. Du is not allowed to eat?" Yi Yami asked, holding a small notebook.
"No, the old man can eat anything." Du Jiaqi replied.
Yi Yami nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Du Jiaqi looked at the menu and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. After all, he had never heard of many of the dishes. He thought that he had done a good job this time and left with satisfaction.
Du Jiaqi delivered the money for the ingredients the next day.
On the day of Mr. Du's birthday banquet, Yi Yami went to Shandandan Village early to be on standby. She lived in the He family.
Fang Caixiu looked at her worriedly. "Are you okay? Xiaomi, do you want your aunt to go with you to help?"
"I can do it, aunt, it's no problem." Yi Yami smiled and put his arm around Fang Caixiu's shoulders.
Fang Caixiu patted her arm and said, "No, if there's a shortage of manpower, you should tell your aunt. You, child, dare to take on such a big responsibility alone."
"Aunt, a hero is not judged by his origin. There are many people who become famous at a young age. You can believe me, I can do it very well." Yi Yami knew Fang Caixiu's concerns, and she answered seriously.
"Okay, okay, we will go to the banquet tomorrow anyway. If you can't, just come to us. Family members are definitely better than outsiders." Fang Caixiu touched her head.
"Okay, I remember it." Yiyami smiled.
Early in the morning, a big opera was performed at the Du Mansion.
Lu Tingting stood under the stage like a proud rooster. This was the troupe she had specially invited from her mother's family at a high price. She didn't believe that anyone could do better than her today.
Du Zhiqian was woken up early in the morning by the opera. She was full of anger and stood in the attic with messy hair. Du Zhilan was also woken up. She controlled her temper a little and saw Du Zhiqian standing at the door angrily. She smiled, "Sister, good morning!"
When Du Zhiqian saw Du Zhilan getting up and preparing to have the maid comb her hair, she snorted coldly and went back to her room.
Yiyami asked people to cut and process the ingredients as she instructed.
Du Yinye came to the kitchen early.
"Hey, Miss Du, good morning!" Yi Yami didn't expect to see Du Yinye in the kitchen and greeted her.
"Good morning, Manager Yi. I was afraid you were too busy, so I came to help." Du Yinye rolled up his sleeves.
Dongmei behind him also looked like she was ready to work.
Yi Yami was touched. She knew that Du Yinye was afraid that the servants would embarrass her, so she came to help her.
"Okay, Miss Du, just go and pick the vegetables. Let others do the rest of the work that requires the use of a knife." Yi Yami was also considerate enough to not let Du Yinye do any work that might hurt herself.
Feeling she had won a battle, Lu Tingting passed by the kitchen and saw Du Yinye condescending to work in the kitchen. She curled her lips and walked away, saying to her maid, "See, I told you she was destined to be a lowly lady. She didn't want to be a good lady, but had to work for others."
Yi Yami quickly started cooking.
She had already prepared many of the dishes the night before and had someone overseeing them. Next up were some simple dishes.
When everything was almost ready, Yi Yami said to Du Yinye, "Go call the other juniors and ask them if they want to prepare some dishes made by you, the juniors, for Master Du. This will be a token of your appreciation."
After hearing this, Du Yinye asked Dongmei to go and ask.
The daughters and Mr. Du’s son and daughter-in-law all thought it was good, so they went to the kitchen to take a look.
Lu Tingting didn't think it was necessary. She had gotten up early and was very sleepy, so she refused. "I don't want to mess around in the kitchen like a maid."
Dongmei saw Lu Tingting's maid Fengye said, "The young lady is taking the young master to bed and can't leave, so I won't go."
Dongmei said she understood.
The banquet at the Du Mansion was still held on the third floor.
The main family members are on the third floor, the second floor is for business friends, and the first floor is for villagers with whom they have ordinary relationships.
But as the dishes were served one after another, everyone who was used to banquets was stunned.
I don’t know what these dishes are, but they are presented very beautifully and smell delicious.
Unlike the past, people on the third floor began to scramble for food without caring about their image.
He didn't even pay attention to what the maid said the dish was.
Even the servants of the Du family, who had seen many dining scenes at banquets, were frightened. This time, it seemed as if everyone was going to eat up the entire plate like crazy, which was scary.
