At three quarters of noon, all the dishes were served, and everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Nie Ling'er took out the red envelopes she had prepared in advance and distributed them to everyone immediately. Each red envelope was wrapped in red sachet leather, which looked particularly festive.

"Come on, thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Every time he addressed someone, Nie Ling'er would say, "Thank you for your hard work." This kind of careless behavior really made people feel good.

There is humanity right now——

"Although Miss Ling'er is young, she has a big picture."

"Yes, we old people in the house have been organizing birthday banquets for many years. How can we have a chef who cares about us? Let alone reward us with some real money!"

"Look, this girl Ling'er will definitely be the one who achieves great things in the future."

"You're right."

Everyone was talking about it, and Nie Ling'er's ears were filled with excitement, and she was naturally happy.

There were only a dozen or so people around. If five taels of silver per person could be exchanged for everyone to work together to host this banquet, Nie Ling'er would not feel distressed.

After a busy morning, everyone was sweating profusely. After the dishes were served, they all sat down on the floor to rest for a while. At this time, the housekeeper of the Yu family suddenly came to the kitchen. The servants saw this

They all got up quickly.

The house is very strict about rules, so there is no room for servants like them to be so lax and careless. If they want to rest, they have to go back to the room and sit.

But the housekeeper obviously came with a purpose, and didn't care about these servants. Instead, he came straight to Nie Ling'er: "Miss Nie, our master invites you to meet at the banquet."

"See me?" Nie Ling'er was slightly shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously glanced at his unseemly image covered in oil smoke.

It's not that she suddenly feels inferior. There has just been a big battle in the kitchen. Her image is normal. It's just that the occasion is different today. The people sitting at the table are all dignitaries from Huaiyang. I'm afraid that she will look like this.

Something is wrong.

The housekeeper looked at Nie Ling'er's reaction and immediately smiled knowingly: "Don't worry, girl, my lady has prepared new clothes in advance. Wonton is waiting outside. Let her take you to freshen up."<

/p>

In this way, Nie Ling'er couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that Sister Sang Qian had thought carefully, and nodded with a smile.

Halfway through the dinner, everyone's mouths were filled with oil as they were fed the delicacies on this table. The favorite item at the women's banquet was actually the [Nine Turns of Large Intestine]. Normally the dignified and elegant ladies would eat pig intestines in one bite.

One, it’s a pleasure to eat.

"Mom, isn't my little sister's cooking skills amazing?"

Yu Sangqian sat next to her mother Lin Wanrong, and she did not forget to show off Nie Ling'er to her mother.

Lin Wanrong smiled lightly and nodded: "It's true that her reputation is not in vain. Your godfather praised her to the sky. I also thought about how capable a teenage girl can be if she works hard. No.

Cheng Xiang is a real person, and all the dish ladies today like it, they are all delicious."

Hearing that her mother was so positive about Ling'er, Yu Sangqian felt extremely honored and quickly said: "Mother doesn't know something. This sister Ling'er is not only a good cook, but also a very special person.

I saw many precious and dazzling things from her."

Lin Wanrong came from a scholarly family, and his family was a prominent family in the capital. Marrying Yu Kui, the magistrate of Huaiyang, was considered a lower marriage. Since he was a child, he had been influenced by the rules of high-ranking families, and he was very aloof in his bones.

Therefore, she originally did not want her daughter to make friends with any cooks, but as she watched her daughter grow up over the years, she realized that her daughter did not seem to have a close friend with whom she could be close, and she mentioned it to herself more than once.

However, I don’t like these pretentious ladies and don’t want to have close friendship with them at all.

Now the chef of this birthday party has become her daughter's friend. Lin Wanrong can guess from the look on his daughter's face when he mentions this person that she likes this friend from the bottom of her heart.

He loved his daughter so much that all the rules and regulations in his heart were no longer worth mentioning. Lin Wanrong followed Yu Sangqian's words and said: "These extraordinary women among the people have experienced a lot of things in the world, and they are very different from other ladies. You

It would be a good thing if we could learn some precious qualities from him."

Hearing this, Yu Sangqian quickly nodded happily: "What mother said is true, and my daughter feels that this sister Ling'er has a lot for her to learn from."

Lin Wanrong was naturally happy to see his daughter so happy, but he still did not forget to remind him: "Take the essence and discard the dross."

After all, she was a rough girl from the countryside, and she would inevitably have some bad habits. Lin Wanrong couldn't possibly not mind it at all.

At this time, Nie Ling'er changed her clothes from the back courtyard path, lowered her head and followed Wonton, and walked out quickly.

As soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of everyone present, because based on his age and stature, and combined with the rumors in Huaiyang City, Nie Ling'er's identity could be guessed at once.

"Is this Nie Ling'er?"

"It's just like the rumors, he is so young!"

"Although I have heard about it before, now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I am still surprised!"

Listening to the comments of the people around her, Nie Ling'er did not raise her head. She came from modern times and had seen the complicated etiquette in high schools from various costume dramas.

She shouldn't have had to worry about these things in Shijie Village before, but now that she was in front of the prefect, she didn't want to make a fool of herself, so she had to be careful in everything, lest the good reputation that had just spread be ruined.

"Master, Miss Ling'er is here."

Approaching, Wonton leaned over slightly and spoke respectfully. After saying this, he stepped aside.

At the main table, Yu Kui is sitting in the middle, and on the left is Lin Qingrang. The other positions are also occupied by the most distinguished people in Huaiyang.

Feeling the gaze of countless pairs of eyes falling on her, Nie Ling'er couldn't help but let out a deep breath. Being stared at by these high-ranking and powerful people really doubled the pressure. In the future generations of freedom and equality, there is no chance to feel this.

Ichiban.

After a slight pause, Nie Ling'er bowed and said slowly in a clear and natural tone: "Nie Ling'er, a citizen girl, has met the prefect and all of you."

Although there was some pressure in her heart, Nie Ling'er was not shy about her appearance, and behaved in an elegant and generous manner, neither humble nor overbearing. This really added to Yu Kui's first impression of her.

"It's true as Mr. Lin said, the chef in charge of the banquet is actually a girl as old as Sang Qian." Yu Kui marveled, then looked at Nie Ling'er with a smile and asked: "Little girl, what's the banquet like today?"
