After simply having breakfast, the sky is still gloomy, but the streets are not dark, because there are many shops in Fucheng, which open early, and all the candlelights in the corridors are lit.

A group of people got into the carriage.

When Xiao Wu was in Jinji, he always went around with shopkeeper Sun to discuss business. He has been to Fucheng seven or eight times, and he is familiar with the terrain.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street at the moment, so he didn't take a shortcut and galloped directly on the main road, and arrived at the side door of Wang's house not long after.

Although Wang's house is a merchant's house, the house is built more grandly than Qi's house, and it seems to have been renovated in recent years. The colors of the walls and eaves are very new and stylish.

The third lady had already greeted the boy at the side door. After shopkeeper Sun announced his door, the boy took them into the talisman and led them to the kitchen in Gongzhong.

The Wang family has a total of three houses, the eldest house is the descendant of the old man, the second house and the third house are both descendants of the concubine, today is the Zhou banquet for the eldest son's grandson, and it is extremely grand and festive.

The servants should have started working in the middle of the night, and the back house was brightly lit.

While leading the way, the boy looked at the siblings from time to time, mainly at Su Xiaoxiao.

No way, even if Su Xiaoxiao lost dozens of catties, she was still a big fat man with a full tonnage in ancient times.

But compared to the original black and fat, she is now white and fat, a little cute.

"Brother Qiu, who is it?"

A housewife cleaning the house asked the boy in a low voice.

The servant said in a low voice: "The third lady invited the cook from Xinghua Town."

"He's from the town?" The maid curled her lips, obviously looking down on her, "What's the third lady thinking?"

"Hush—" The servant looked around, "Don't let the third lady hear this."

"I know, I know." The servant woman responded, and looked at Su Xiaoxiao a few more times. The whole group belonged to her, and it was impossible for people to pay attention.

Su Xiaoxiao could hear the conversation between the two clearly, there is a chain of contempt everywhere, people in the town look down on the people in the country, people in the prefectural city look down on the people from the town——

Do your part and don't worry about other people's mouths.

The third lady thoughtfully prepared a small kitchen for them alone, and told the servant that if they have any food needs, they should try their best to meet them, and there is no need to report to her.

However, when the boy took them to the small kitchen prepared earlier in the morning, he was surprised to find someone inside.

It is also a new face.

The boy 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 pastry chefs invited by your house."

The boy said: "That's not right, the pastry chef is here."

"What happened?"

A delicate female voice sounded slowly from not far away.

The visitor looked about thirty-five or sixteen years old, and was dressed in gorgeous clothes, jeweled and jeweled, and he was wearing a pendant, which made him look rich and powerful.

She was accompanied by a little maid and a servant, all dressed decently.

The boy turned around, blessed the other party, and said respectfully: "Second madam!"

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

The servant named Lingqiu said: "Responding to the second lady's words, I will bring the masters over to make desserts."

"Where is the pastry chef from?"

"He's from Xinghua Town."

"Who invited the cook from the town?"

"I invited, does the second sister-in-law have any objections?"

The third lady came with her maid and mother-in-law.

Her clothes are more plain than the second lady's, and she is younger and more beautiful.

She stopped next to the servant and shopkeeper Sun, and looked at the third lady opposite.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Shopkeeper Sun is a fine person, what can't you understand when you look at the posture of the two ladies?

The Wang family is the head of the eldest house, the eldest wife is in charge of the middle class, and the second and third masters are concubines. On weekdays, the two wives will help the eldest wife with the affairs of the house, and fighting openly and secretly is inevitable.

The second wife sneered: "Siblings, it's not sister-in-law who is talking about you, our Wang family is considered a respectable family in Fucheng, how can you hire a few cooks from the countryside?"

The second wife actually didn't know that Su Xiaoxiao was a country girl, but to the people of Fucheng, all the people in the town were counted as the countryside.

The third wife sneered: "My sister-in-law will give me the full power of this matter. Of course, I have the final say on who I invite, so I won't bother my second sister-in-law! Are those cooks hired by my second sister-in-law? I heard they are from my mother's family." People. The second sister-in-law is right in saying that our Wang family is a respectable family. When the mother’s family comes, it is natural to be a guest at the banquet. Why did they come to the kitchen to do things? If it spreads, it will make people laugh at our Wang family for not knowing how to treat people. The Way of the Guest!"

The second lady was choked enough.

The shitty natal family was just introduced by her natal family. In order to get this job, she deliberately said it was her natal family.

Shopkeeper Sun rubbed his nose resentfully, and said in a volume that only he and Su Xiaoxiao could hear: "Did you see that? The gods fight, and the kid suffers."

Su Xiaoxiao calmly watched the two wives fighting.

"Brother agreed!"

"The male leads the outside, the female leads the inside, and the affairs of the back house are always decided by the sister-in-law!"

The backing of the second lady is the old man, and the backing of the third lady is the big lady. Neither of the two wives can win the fight.

They were arguing with each other, Su Xiaoxiao went into the kitchen to make snacks.

"Give it up." Su Xiaoxiao said to the cook in front of the stove.

The cook glanced at her.

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the kitchen knife.

The cook backed away!

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

The two ladies quarreled bitterly.

Su Xiaoxiao took out the cutting board, sprinkled it with flour, and started making desserts.

In the Qi family, it was Su Xiaoxiao who grabbed Jinji's business, and today, it was someone who robbed her of her business.

Regardless of whether the third lady has the permission of the eldest lady or not, the second lady who moved out of the elder lady has unparalleled confidence.

In this case, there is only one solution—see the true strength!

Seeing her cooking, the other three cooks hurriedly took out their ingredients.

"This kind of situation... is relatively rare." Shopkeeper Sun sneered.

He was the one who ran the business, and it was his responsibility if it really got so dirty.

"It's okay." Su Xiao.

Doing business is all about risks and benefits. It is normal to have a little accident. The most important thing is to keep your mind calm.

"Hey." Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao didn't blame himself, Shopkeeper Sun heaved a sigh of relief, but also felt a little lucky.

The little girl is young and has a big heart. She is capable of doing great things.

The two wives quarreled until the end and didn't quarrel with Chou Yinmao, but the snacks on both sides were out of the oven.

The master invited by the second lady made pea yellow and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. These are two dim sums passed down from the capital, and many of them sold in the market are not authentic.

These three masters obviously have two brushes, and they are very authentic, with pure color and delicate taste.

After they took it out, there were a few bad pieces left in the pot.

Shopkeeper Sun ran over to take a sneaky taste.

He was taken aback!
