Seeing Hua Mian come back, the chefs who gathered around said their guesses, "You won't be waiting at the entrance of the courtyard, right?"

"I told you not to choose silver carp. No matter how fresh the quality of the silver carp delivered today is, it has already been returned once at noon. If you cook silver carp at night, won't you be annoying Miss Sixth?"

"It's already good that you didn't get kicked out. I'll just go and apologize early tomorrow."

The words spoken by the chefs around sounded like they were worried about Hua Mian, but there was no expression of worry on their faces, and there seemed to be some gloating in their tone.

But before they could finish their words, they all shut up when they saw Hua Mian opening the food box.

Hua Mian took out the empty tableware one by one from the food box and put it into the wooden basin next to it for the waiter to clean later. Then she poured a glass of water and sat down to rest.

"This is impossible! How can Miss Six, a woman, eat so much food?" Someone questioned after seeing that the tableware was empty.

"She ate it by herself, and I was watching from the side."

The chef who raised the question stopped talking after hearing Hua Mian's answer. The other chefs either continued to do their own work, or came to ask Hua Mian for the recipe for making silver carp.

Hua Mian was still a little proud. When Yang Gu tested her before, the chefs said the hoof-shaped straw cake she made was because of the expensive ingredients, so this time she chose the same as Chef Gao.

She made silver carp as the main course. In addition to the excellent quality of today's silver carp, there were also some intentional elements in it, just to show them that she would not lose even if she used the same ingredients.

But thanks to the instructions for this dish in the recipe she downloaded before, Yang Gu's ability to identify the quality of ingredients was put to use this time.

As a result, Hua Mian stayed up late discussing the recipes with the chefs, and the moon had already risen when she returned to the maid's courtyard.

Fortunately, I had just cooked fish ball noodles for myself in the kitchen with the remaining ingredients, so I wouldn't be hungry this time, Hua Mian was secretly thankful.

On nights when spring and summer alternate, even the night wind carries warmth, winding gently around the fingers. Although it has fallen into the night, the yard does not seem dark. Except for the moon that is close to the full moon again in the sky, the yard is filled with longevity.

Lanterns were hung everywhere near the banquet.

Although there were almost no other pedestrians on the road at this time, Hua Mian did not feel bored while walking and admiring the lanterns.

When passing by the lotus pond, a person suddenly emerged from behind the rockery. Hua Mian was startled at first. She was about to shout subconsciously, but she recognized the person under the light of the lanterns nearby.

"Master Xiao" Although there was no one else around, Hua Mian politely held up her skirt and made a blessing.

Sikong Xiao looked at the maid in front of him with a smile on his face, and he couldn't understand why he was hiding in the dark at night waiting for a maid.

At first, he only took her in out of gratitude for her help. After taking her back to his home, he left her in the maid's house and never asked about her again. When he heard about her again, this ordinary-looking maid had become the boss of the maid's canteen.

The chef, and developed a friendship with his sister, although the friendship described by the fourth sister sounded to Sikong Xiao as just one-sided eating and drinking.
