Chapter 136 6th Birthday
Chapter 136 6th Birthday
Su Xiaoxiao made a face at the backs of Xiao Ran and his servant as they left, and began to clean up the mess on the table.
When she saw the two taels of silver on the table, she was stunned.
The original intention was to treat Xiao Ran to this meal as a thank you for his help, but unexpectedly this dude was quite upright and didn't take advantage of others, so he paid the money.
Jiang Lanlan had just finished her work and came out of the kitchen. She wanted to ask Xiao Ran if he needed anything else, but she found that Xiao Ran had already left.
"Why did Master Xiao leave?"
"I'm full!"
Su Xiaoxiao replied while asking Jiang Lanlan to put away the two taels of silver.
Jiang Lanlan was also stunned for a moment.
"Did Young Master Xiao pay for this?"
"Yes!"
"Oh, we agreed to treat him to a meal, how can we let Master Xiao spend money!"
"That's what I thought too. Maybe Young Master Xiao is wealthy and can afford this little money. Keep this silver and return it to him when you see him later!"
"Okay, I'll pay for the meal!"
Jiang Lanlan put away the two taels of silver and was about to go back to the backyard to get money to pay the bill, but was stopped by Su Xiaoxiao.
"Forget it, this meal is on me."
Jiang Lanlan wanted to say something, but a customer came in and Su Xiaoxiao asked her to serve the customer.
Su Xiaoxiao had just finished clearing away all the dishes on the table when Lan Ling walked in with Xiaotao.
"elder sister!"
When Su Xiaoxiao heard Lan Ling's voice, her eyes lit up and she immediately went over to meet him.
"Sister Ling'er hasn't been here for a few days."
"Yes, my grandfather is going to celebrate his sixtieth birthday, and I'm busy taking care of all the related affairs in the mansion! I'm exhausted!"
Seeing Lan Ling acting like a spoiled child, Su Xiaoxiao hurried to comfort her.
"Sister Ling'er, you've worked so hard. How about I make you something delicious to reward you?"
When Lan Ling heard that there was something delicious, his eyes lit up instantly.
"That's great! Then I won't be polite to my sister!"
"There's no need to be polite between you and me, sisters!"
Su Xiaoxiao was just about to get up to do it when Lan Ling suddenly thought of something and grabbed Su Xiaoxiao.
Her dark eyes were full of loss.
"I just remembered that I have something else to do today, so I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for my sister to make delicious food. But you can have a bowl of spicy hot pot first!"
She looked at Xiaotao beside her and corrected herself immediately.
"No, it's two bowls! Xiao Tao and I will finish eating and get back to work while we're still warm!"
Now that the weather is getting cooler and autumn has arrived, hot malatang is indeed a good choice.
"Okay, I'll make it for her another day when my sister is not busy. Just wait, I'll go to the kitchen and make you spicy hot pot right away!"
In the kitchen, Jiang Xingjun heard that Lan Ling and his servant had arrived and wanted to eat spicy hot pot, so he immediately gave the two freshly prepared servings of spicy hot pot to Lan Ling and his servant, and then he cooked another serving for the customer who ordered spicy hot pot.
The spicy hot pot came out of the pot and Su Xiaoxiao brought it to the table personally.
"Eat it!"
Looking at the fragrant and steaming spicy hot pot in front of him, Lan Ling couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Wow! It smells so good! I haven't eaten it in days, and I'm craving a bite!"
Su Xiaoxiao sat aside and said, "If you like it, eat more!"
"Ok!"
Lan Ling asked Xiao Tao to sit down and eat together. While eating, she suddenly thought of something.
"Oh, I almost forgot something important. Will you be free in five days?"
"What's the matter?"
"Grandpa's sixtieth birthday is coming up in five days. We're going to prepare a nice feast at home and have a lot of guests over. I'd like you to come over and cook a few of your signature dishes."
"Can I...?" Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect Lan Ling to invite her, and was a little surprised.
"Of course! The dishes you cook are so delicious, the guests will definitely like them, and this will also make my grandfather proud."
"Okay, as long as my sister approves, I'll go!"
"Then it's settled. I'll pay you thirty taels of silver!"
"What reward do you and I need? This is just my way of showing filial piety to Mr. Guo!"
"That won't do. You still have to support your family. We don't lack money. Besides, it costs money to hire others. It's better to let you earn it!"
Su Xiaoxiao had a smile on her lips. She really couldn't do anything about Lan Ling's straightforward personality.
"Okay, then let's listen to Sister Ling'er's arrangements!"
"Well, what dish are you going to make and what ingredients are needed? Tell me later so I can have someone prepare it!"
"Ok!"
Lan Ling and his servant quickly finished their spicy hot pot and left.
When passing by the food pick-up window, Xiao Tao looked inside and saw Jiang Xingjun carefully making various snacks. Her face turned slightly red, and she quickly looked away and followed Lan Ling.
Soon it was Guo Fu’s 60th birthday.
There was an atmosphere of joy throughout the Guo family.
Almost all the important people in Changming County came to celebrate Guo Fu’s birthday.
More than a dozen chefs were hired in the backyard of the Guo Mansion to prepare food for today's birthday banquet.
Su Xiaoxiao arrived at Guo's house early, and Lan Ling took Su Xiaoxiao to a small kitchen.
"Sister, just cook the food here. When it's ready, ask the servants to serve it. I still have guests to entertain, so I'll go to the front yard first. If you want to see me, just ask the servants to let me know!"
"Okay, I understand. Go get busy!"
After Lan Ling left, Su Xiaoxiao asked several servants in the kitchen to help her prepare the ingredients.
Men and women are seated at different tables at today's banquet.
The men are all in the west courtyard and the women are in the east courtyard.
The food was ready and served on the table one by one.
Looking at the dazzling array of delicious food, the guests were no longer polite and started to taste them one by one.
After eating all the dishes, both the men and women at the table praised the dishes made by Su Xiaoxiao.
Seeing this, Lan Ling suddenly had an idea. He immediately got up and went to the kitchen to find Su Xiaoxiao.
"Sister, come with me?"
Su Xiaoxiao was pulled away by Lan Ling, leaving her confused.
"What happened?"
"Everyone is praising your cooking skills. This is a great opportunity to make money. Don't miss it!"
Su Xiaoxin felt a warm feeling in her heart. She didn't expect that Lan Ling was still thinking about her and wanted her to make more money at this time.
The two came to the front yard and Lan Ling spoke.
"Ladies and young ladies, these dishes you all like are all made by my good friend, Su Xiaoxiao. Although she comes from a farming family, she enjoys researching food. What we just ate was all invented by her. If anyone wants to host a banquet to entertain guests, feel free to come to her!"
Everyone has witnessed Su Xiaoxiao's cooking skills. After listening to Lan Ling's introduction, two women stood up and walked over.
One of the women, dressed in lavender, spoke first, "Miss Su's cooking skills are truly unique and exquisite. I'm planning a banquet at home in a few days. I wonder if Miss Su has time to come over and show off her cooking skills?"
Another woman in dark blue followed suit.
"My family is also inviting friends to our home, and we'd like to ask Miss Su to help. The wages are negotiable!"
Su Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed by the praise and felt unworthy.
These delicacies were not invented by her.
I don’t know how many predecessors have tried countless times to get this result.
It just so happened that her descendant learned how to cook.
But in order to make money, she had no choice but to accept these compliments.
She also took on the job of cooking.
