Mrs. Shen never thought that she would have such a busy day. She was originally just a peasant woman. She thought that she would follow Mr. Shen in farming, doing housework and taking care of her children all her life.

But suddenly one day, the owner Cheng Yaojin gave a small village with only fifty households to a young man. They felt that if the owner changed, they, who had retired from the army, would not have a good life.

Especially those who are missing arms or legs will likely beg for food.

However, their worries were unnecessary. A steward surnamed Wang took over Zhuangzi and selected four of the most skilled and intact men from Zhuangzi to protect the young master.

Not long after, their family members were also brought over and everyone's duties were arranged. And he was one of the family members.

The young master also carried out reforms on Zhuangzi, raising pigs, chickens, planting other crops, etc. Zhuangzi was many times richer than before.

Because I have a talent for cooking, I was taught a lot of cooking skills by the young master. Under the young master's training, coupled with my own efforts and unlimited supply of ingredients, I finally got the young master's recognition and became a chef.

The young master also invested money in a restaurant and let himself manage it, giving himself 50% of the shares. From then on, he was considered half a boss.

In addition, because the young master wanted to promote the cooking technique, almost all the chefs in Chang'an were the young master's disciples.

Today, the young master asked her to take full responsibility for the whole pig feast. She immediately put down all her work and summoned nearly a hundred chefs and assistant cooks to the princess mansion.

They came here early in the morning, and the first thing they did was kill the pig.

Wang Ning'an once told Mrs. Shen that a good chef not only cooks well, but also knows how to kill chickens, fish, pigs and other poultry.

So the first thing they did was go to the pig pen to select a few fat and strong pigs and slaughter them.

When killing the pig, Mrs. Shen washed the pig and hung it up. Then she stabbed the pig with the butcher knife and cut his intestines open. The blood flowed along the body and through the head.

In the prepared large tub.

Then the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys and large intestine were taken out of the pig's belly and placed in another wooden basin.

Then there is a dedicated person responsible for cleaning up the pig water.

Finally, the whole pig is decomposed into pig ears, pig tails, pig head meat, limbs, ribs, tenderloin, etc.

After killing ten pigs in total, everyone prepared the main course, then the side dishes, and finally the seasonings.

After preparing everything, Mrs. Shen took the chefs to the temporary stove set up in Zhuangzi. There were a hundred Yantai in total, which was large in scale and full of style.

The assistant cooks moved all the ingredients to the stove, and then started to prepare the dishes. They all knew the list of dishes and the order of serving them, so the work of preparing the dishes was completed quickly.

"Master, our work here has been completed. When can we start cooking? Everyone is gearing up to have a big time." A chef came to Mr. Shen and asked.

Shen said: "Why are you anxious? When the time comes, the young master will send someone to notify us."

"That's it, that's it." The chef stepped aside angrily.

Mrs. Shen said to everyone: "I know you are all chefs in major restaurants now and are usually very busy, but don't forget that your cooking skills come from

where.

As the saying goes, drink water and remember its source. Today, the young master wants to invite the farmers, so he specially invited you to help me. Also, you should all know the identity of my young master.

Being able to help my young master is a tribute from your ancestors. If any of you want to leave now, I will never stop you, but after you leave, never say that you are the young master's disciples or grandsons again."

"Master, don't be angry. No one has any intention of leaving. It's just that the ingredients are ready. Everyone's hands are itchy and they all want to show off their skills." One chef said.

Mrs. Shen nodded and said: "You have a chance to perform. Whether the young master's plan can succeed or not depends entirely on your performance. Now you have to be energetic and wait for the notification."

"Yes." The chefs responded.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Yin Qiao came over with a large group of maids and said to Mrs. Shen: "Aunt Shen, by order of the consort, you can cook a whole pig feast."

"Okay." Mrs. Shen responded, "Miss Yinqiao, please tell the prince-in-law that you can just leave the kitchen affairs to the old woman."

Yinqiao nodded and said: "With Aunt Shen here, the princess and the consort are very relieved. The consort also said, if you need anything, just ask Aunt Shen, this whole pig feast must be done well, it is related to the face of the princess and the consort.

It also concerns the prince-in-law’s future plans, so there is no room for error.”

"The old woman knows, please rest assured the princess and the consort, the old woman will definitely check it herself."

"Then thank you, Aunt Shen, and everyone. As long as the whole pig feast can be completed smoothly, the prince-in-law said that he owes everyone a favor. If you have anything to do in the future, you can come to him. He will help everyone within the scope of his ability. At the same time, he will give you a favor.

Everyone prepared a red envelope as a thank you gift."

"The villain is scared." Everyone showed fear and uneasiness.

Let the prince-in-law owe them a favor, and if others find out about it, he won't kill them.

Yinqiao waved her hands and said: "I have brought the consort's words, and the maids behind me will carry your dishes to the banquet venue. Okay, I won't delay you anymore, I'll leave first."

"Okay." Mrs. Shen nodded, then turned to the chefs and said, "You must have heard what Miss Yinqiao said just now. If we do it well, the consort will miss us. If we can't do it well, that's it."

We must be punished for our mistakes.

Even if my consort is kind and reluctant to punish you, I will punish you so that you will never be able to gain a foothold in the culinary world."

"We don't dare."

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and get started."

"yes."

Hundreds of chefs started to move, and suddenly the stove was filled with aroma, making people salivate.

Mrs. Shen nodded with great satisfaction. This aroma represented their cooking skills. As long as the taste was suitable, it would pass the test.

Because there are more people, there is less emphasis on appearance. Wang Ning'an also told her that large pot rice is different from personal cooking, both in taste and shape.

Especially the taste is very different, but the aroma is about the same. It won't be a big problem to put them when the shape is suitable.

Therefore, Wang Ning'an's requirements have been lowered this time, but Shen doesn't think so. She believes that whether it is a personal cooking or a large pot of rice, the color, flavor and aroma must be complete. This is the level of a real top chef.

For this reason, Shen specially bought ten children from Renya, five boys and five girls each.

They have been training their cooking skills since they were young.

Wang Ning'an also knew about this, but he didn't care. This was Shen's freedom, and it also gave the ten children a way out.

The first dish, the sweet and sour short ribs, was cooked successfully.

The maids placed the plates of sweet and sour pork chops on their own plates, and then carried the plates to the outside of the princess's house in a very well-trained manner.

The Princess Mansion was simply not enough for a huge banquet with 800 tables, so tables could be seen everywhere in the village. It could also be said that this banquet was an open-air banquet.

Wang Ning'an and Li Xiangcheng sat at the main table, and eight representatives of Zhuangzi sat with them.

Hong Li is one of them. The remaining seven are respectable old people, and none of them have a few teeth left.

This made Wang Ning'an a little confused. Can such an old man bite the meat? Are they suitable for a whole pig feast?

However, he quickly put such questions behind him and said to everyone: "You must be curious about why I want to treat everyone in the village to a whole pig feast today on the day of rent collection?"

Hong Li cupped his hands and said, "The prince-in-law must have a deep meaning, but I don't dare to belittle myself."

Wang Ning'an said: "It doesn't matter, everyone can speak freely. There is no distinction between master and servant today. What's more, you are just tenants, not my servants. I also want to thank you for helping me farm. Otherwise, there is so much land in the Princess Mansion, and I am the only one."

You and the princess may not be able to win all the prizes even after a few years of planting."

An old man immediately said: "Prince-in-law, please don't say that. Thanks to the princess who rented the land to us, we have food to eat and can survive. It also allows the old man to have four generations living under one roof. Thank you princess and thank you, prince-in-law."

"Old man He is right, we are alive today thanks to the princess." Another old man said.

"Yes, it's all thanks to the princess."

"That's right, that's right, thanks to the princess."

"..."

Immediately everyone thanked Li Xiangcheng.

Li Xiangcheng was said to be a little unnatural, and thought to himself: "What does it have to do with me? Before I took over, you were renting my land."

But he said: "You don't need to thank me, everything is a gift from the Emperor Father. Without the Emperor Father, we wouldn't be where we are now."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hong Li and the others bowed their hands towards the direction of the palace to thank them.

At this moment, I saw a group of maids appearing in an endless stream. They were carrying dinner plates and placing sweet and sour chops on the table.

Yinqiao took a portion of sweet and sour pork chops from a maid's plate and placed it on Wang Ning'an's table.

Wang Ning'an immediately said: "Now that the food is served, let's not talk more. Let's start eating."

Hong Li and the others looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn’t dare to move their chopsticks for a while.

As if he had read their thoughts, Wang Ning'an picked up the chopsticks on the table and gave Li Xiangcheng a piece of short ribs.

"Princess, please have a taste."

Then Wang Ning'an took a small piece of pork ribs and put it into his mouth. After chewing a few mouthfuls, he stuck out a bone and said, "Let's all eat. No need to be polite."

Li Xiangcheng picked up the small plate that Wang Ning'an had given him and said, "The prince-in-law is right, don't have too many etiquettes when eating. This will make eating a lot less fun. Having fun alone is not as good as having fun with everyone."
