Chapter 526 Appetizer
As we left Lin Ke's mansion, the sun began to set.
The sky was gray, with a faint yellow light still clinging to the high rooftops in the west.
The sunlight shone obliquely, turning the bluestone path into a pale gold color and casting long shadows.
The wind stopped, and the air felt cool.
Smoke began to rise from the rooftops in the distance, wisps of it rising straight upwards.
She stopped and looked back.
The sounds of busy work could still be faintly heard from inside the house, and the red lanterns under the eaves were already lit, casting a warm glow.
"I'm still a little nervous."
Fatty Wang came out and immediately wiped away a cold sweat.
No wonder Hui Niang and Yun Niang were unwilling to come when the master asked the cook to come to the prefectural city.
There are too many rules.
According to Lin Ke's official rank, he is a fourth-grade official, so tomorrow's banquet should be held according to the regulations for a flower banquet.
Approximately twenty dishes were served, making it an auspicious combination.
He was in charge of preparing four appetizers, but he couldn't afford to be careless at all.
A-Yue said, "What's there to be afraid of! Four appetizers are a piece of cake for you, Fatty Wang!"
After all, he had been working with Xu Yiyi for so long, and his skills were no longer what they used to be.
"That's different! I used to cook for ordinary people, but tomorrow will be different. They'll be high-ranking officials and nobles. If I mess things up, I'm afraid I'll lose my life here."
Wang Pangzi said with some grievance, then after holding back, he finally said to Xu Yiyi, "Boss, you can't just ignore me. Let's discuss it again when we get back tonight and see what dish would be suitable."
Xu Yiyi's lips twitched. She never expected that Wang Pangzi, who was usually so bold, would be so flustered.
"Don't worry, I've already made a list of what dishes to cook. Just prepare according to the list tomorrow, and there won't be any mistakes."
Xu Yiyi said casually, then went to a restaurant and ordered a few dishes.
When I got home, it was just getting dark.
Sihai was still in the yard, holding up a short twig and gesturing with it.
Sanchuan sat by the lantern under the eaves, a book spread out on his lap, reading intently.
The two children were chatting casually when they saw Xu Yiyi and immediately ran over.
"Big sister, big sister, you're finally back."
Sihai immediately dropped the stick in his hand and grabbed her leg, refusing to let go.
"It's so boring, and my third brother won't let me go out," the child said, sounding aggrieved.
Sanchuan closed his book, walked over, and gently tapped Sihai's little head. "We're in an unfamiliar place. What are you, a four-year-old, thinking about running off to? If you get kidnapped, you won't be able to come back."
"Grandpa Lu, come with me! Isn't he from the prefectural city?"
Sihai spoke with his lips pursed, his mouth sticking out very high.
"I'm too old. I'm exhausted from sitting on a boat for most of the day. I'm not going to waste my time with you."
Old Lu said irritably.
The room was lit, and Gouyuan was crawling around on the tatami mat, while Lao Lu sat cross-legged on the edge of the mat watching.
Just looking after the chubby kid is tiring enough, let alone having him take another little kid out. Wouldn't that exhaust him?
"Alright, stop arguing and hurry up and eat."
Xu Yiyi and A Yue carried the food boxes and walked over. "These were all bought from your friend's restaurant."
Because we need to take care of Goyuki, we have to pay extra attention to what we eat.
In addition, Lao Lu also went out and bought a can of milk.
Everyone always takes extra care of the youngest member.
That's how I got this chubby appearance.
……
The group quickly finished their dinner.
