Of course, traditional snacks were also essential.
If Su Ergou was the only one helping her, she wouldn’t be able to do so many things. But now, she had three free laborers.
It would be a waste not to use it!
While Su Xiaoxiao was making snacks, Manager Sun was not idle either. He shamelessly went to the front yard to expand his business.
He didn’t care if he was an invited guest or not. In short, he just had to sneak in. How could his skin be more important than business?
If he was not shameless, Jin Ji would not have become the boss of Apricot Flower Town from a small workshop!
He, Sun Quan, was down and out, but one day, he would definitely make a comeback!
The banquet was about to begin and everything was ready.
Manager Sun also relied on his ability to boast and attract a lot of business.
How many could be decided today…
He suppressed the smile on his face and hurried to the kitchen.
“Sister, I want to relieve myself.” Su Ergou said.
His sister’s ginger milk was too delicious. He could not help but drink three big bowls.
“Go. Do you know where it is?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
“I know. That servant has already said it,” Su Ergou replied.
As soon as Su Ergou left, Manager Sun arrived.
He was overjoyed. “I was lucky today and bumped into the Qi family. They praised our desserts and said that they were delicious. I took the opportunity to pull in a few business deals. The latest deal is in ten days. The Zhao family’s daughter is coming of age. Madam Zhao wants to see you. Are you free now? If you are, send the snacks to the front and meet Madam Zhao on the way. I’ve already spoken to Third Madam, and she has no objections.”
“Deal.”
Coincidentally, she was done here.
Su Xiaoxiao took out the plates from her house. “Come and load the plates. Watch how I do it.”
The three chefs: “Okay, Miss Su!”
Manager Sun was dumbfounded.
Wait a minute, what happened in the hour or two he wasn’t there?
After the plates were loaded, Su Xiaoxiao and Manager Sun carried a food box to the front hall.
The rest of the snacks would be served by the servants of the Wang family. There was no need for her to spend any effort.
“Let me tell you about the Zhao Family…” Manager Sun took the food box and began to introduce the Zhao Family to Su Xiaoxiao.
When the two of them passed through a corridor, a woman’s pleading voice came from a small bamboo garden not far away.
“Let go of him! Let go of him! Let go of my brother!”
“Ah!”
The woman was probably pushed to the ground and knocked over something on the ground. She even let out a scream.
A man reprimanded, “Get up quickly! Stop crying and howling! If you make Mr. Li unhappy, watch your skin!”
“Steward Wu, I’m begging you! I’m kneeling down for you! Let them release my brother—my brother is still young—he’s not a servant of the Wang family—”
“He’s a servant of the Wang family! What did you say when you brought him into the residence?”
“I don’t want him to come to the Wang family anymore! Manager Wu, let him go! I only have one younger brother! Steward Wu…”
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes were cold.
Manager Sun shook his head: “Sigh, we can’t interfere with the matters of the mansion. Let’s go.”
“Steward Wu, I beg you…”
“If you continue to shout, I’ll get someone to chase you out! You’ll ruin Mr. Li’s mood. When he denounces us later, we’ll all have to bear the consequences!”
Su Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks.
She heard a young man’s muffled groan of resistance coming from a room in the small bamboo garden. It was very weak and unreal.
Manager Sun’s hearing was not as good as hers, so he did not hear any sounds. However, he had been around for many years, so how could he not guess what had happened?
“At today’s banquet, the only one surnamed Li seems to be the young master of Prefecture Lord Li’s family,” Manager Sun said in a low voice. “According to rumors, this young master is the youngest son of Prefecture Lord Li, and also the only legitimate son. He has been spoiled by his family and has been tainted with some… disgraceful hobbies.”
