The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise
Chapter 20: Xiangjun Mansion Banquet for Guests
News came from the county, reporting that the Xiangjun Mansion had been repaired.
Nanny He chose an auspicious day.
"Master, do you think we should host the banquet in three days or in half a month? Both dates are good."
Shen Jiarou thought about it seriously and decided to do it three days later.
"Let's just wait three days. We already have vegetables for sale anyway, so it's convenient."
"Okay, then I'll go back to the mansion and make some arrangements. Master, when will you go back?"
Shen Jiarou tried seriously, "How about we go together tomorrow?"
Nanny He frowned slightly.
"I'm afraid it's too late."
Shen Jiarou shook her head slightly. "Don't be afraid. We will definitely make it in time. Besides, we are just having a small banquet, so there won't be too many people."
She roughly calculated that there would be at most 2-3 tables of people. Lord Li and the master would definitely come, and then she could just invite the owners of the nearby shops. Even if there were many people, there would be no more than 5 tables, so they would definitely be able to sit down.
On the day of the formal banquet, Nanny He still prepared 10 tables, leaving 5 extra tables. It's not a problem to have too many tables, but it's a problem to have too few tables.
Nanny Qin was taken back to the county town, while Grandpa Sun and Aunt Sun stayed in the house in the town.
Seeing the magnificent mansion, Mrs. Qin couldn't help but look around.
Because the mansion did not hire any new people, Shen Jiarou and Nanny He directly asked for a chef from the shop and a few odd jobs to help in the kitchen.
Nanny He looked at Ruan Qingling, Yaer, Bao Zhiqing and Hu Zhan, and assigned them tasks one by one.
"We have arranged the kitchen. The front hall will be managed by the security guards, the back hall will be managed by Qingling, and I will be responsible for the main reception."
Finally, Nanny He looked at Huzhan and bent down to squat.
"Huzhan, please guard the door and don't let anyone in casually, understand?"
The wolf that the master raised is quite interesting.
The bookstore owner took the initiative to help Shen Jiarou write the gift book.
Bao Zhiqing brought Longjing tea and placed it next to the gift table.
"Excuse me, this is the freshly brewed Longjing tea. You can drink it when you are thirsty."
The bookstore owner was stunned when he heard this. Is this just any tea or Longjing tea? He has never tasted it in his life. Today is his great honor.
Lord Li got up early in the morning and began to handle official business quickly. When he finished, he found that it was already the Si hour.
"It's time for us to go."
The lawyer beside him nodded solemnly, and the two of them got on the carriage and headed for the Xiangjun Mansion.
Because of the banquet, the lawyer specially went to find the most famous painter in the county to paint a picture of prosperous business.
The carriage stopped in front of the Yongkang Township Mansion. The first person to get off was the legal advisor, followed by Magistrate Li.
The master handed the painting to the gentleman who wrote the gift book. When he looked up, he found that he was the bookstore owner Zheng Shuchang.
"Boss Zheng, why is it you?"
Why is it him? It was all thanks to his own initiative that he was able to drink such delicious Longjing tea.
Lord Li had a keen nose, and when he smelled the fragrance of tea, he was fascinated by it for a moment.
"Where does the fragrance come from?"
He looked at Boss Zheng and found a pot of tea on his table. He looked over in confusion.
“Maybe it’s in the tea.”
Lord Li handed the calligraphy and bamboo bracelet he had prepared to Secretary Zheng.
"What kind of tea is this?"
When Secretary Zheng saw that he had asked, he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"My Lord, this is Longjing tea."
The two were shocked when they heard that someone actually brought out Longjing tea to treat them.
Shen Jiarou came to the door of the mansion wearing a new orange dress.
"Master Li."
Lord Li heard the sound and looked towards its source.
"Your subordinate greets the local gentleman."
When the lawyer heard this, he immediately bowed respectfully.
"Zhang pays homage to the township lord."
Shen Jiarou smiled gently at everyone.
"Everyone, please don't be polite. Welcome to our housewarming party today."
Everyone had a smile on their face.
"You're welcome, Mr. Xiang."
"Please come in!"
Shen Jiarou walked in front, followed by Lord Li, and Master Zhang followed behind them.
Snacks had already been arranged on the seats. When Lord Li and Master Zhang, who had just sat down, saw the fried potato chips and French fries in front of him, they looked at them in surprise.
"Can these two be eaten at any time?"
Nanny He spoke respectfully at this time.
"Master Li is right. This is a snack from our mansion. You two can have a try."
Out of curiosity, the two picked up some and put them in their mouths to taste.
Lord Li was conquered by the crispy feeling of the potato chips.
"Yeah, that's good, how do you do this?"
Shen Jiarou responded with a faint smile.
"After slicing the potatoes, soak them in water, then half-cook them, and dry them slice by slice in the sun until they become hard slices. Dry them for a few days before storing them. You can take them out and fry them whenever you want to eat them, and finally add some rock honey."
When they heard the production method, they felt it was not difficult.
Lord Li thought of sweet potato fries and asked curiously.
“Is that how you make sweet potato fries, too?”
Shen Jiarou smiled faintly and nodded.
"Yes."
At this time, a guest came to the door of the mansion. Nanny He went forward to greet him and found that he looked familiar.
"Are you Uncle Zhong?"
Uncle Zhong nodded politely to her.
"Hello, Madam He, you still remember Zhong."
When Nanny He saw that he was an acquaintance, she immediately welcomed him warmly.
"Please come inside quickly."
The shop owners around the store all closed their shops early today and came to Xiangjun Mansion to attend the housewarming party.
There were more and more guests, and even some merchants who came here because of the store's reputation. When Zheng, the bookstore manager, saw the thick gift book, he couldn't help but sigh, people really want to move up.
The female members were arranged in the back hall and were personally entertained by Ruan Qingling.
"Dear bosses and ladies, please let me know if you need anything. Please forgive us if we have not treated you well enough!"
Everyone was very satisfied with her graceful hospitality.
"Okay, girl, I'll call you if I need anything."
Ruan Qingling nodded slightly towards the lady who was speaking.
In the kitchen, Yaer followed Madam He's instructions and told everyone to serve the dishes in order.
Seeing the delicious dishes coming up one after another, everyone nodded.
The first dish is spicy fish, which means everyone will have plenty every year.
The second dish is braised pork ribs with potatoes, which means that the bosses will have a prosperous business.
The third dish is a platter of eight kinds of braised meat, which means that harmony brings wealth.
The fourth course is...
The table was filled with delicious food, and everyone's attention was attracted by the aroma.
Seeing that everyone was eating happily, Shen Jiarou raised her hand and held up her drink glass.
"Everyone, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my housewarming party. I wish you all the best and all the best. I'll drink this drink, please help yourself."
Her generosity makes everyone feel very comfortable.
"Okay, thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Xiang."
After the guests left, Secretary Zheng handed the gift list to Shen Jiarou.
"My Lord, this is today's gift list. There are quite a lot of people coming."
After Shen Jiarou looked at them one by one, she handed them to Nanny He beside her.
"Mammy, please go one by one."
Nanny He took it respectfully with both hands.
"Yes, Xiangjun."
After Nanny Feng He left, Shen Jiarou thanked Secretary Zheng solemnly.
"Thank you, Boss Zheng, for your help today. Bring some tea back later as a small token of our appreciation."
She looked up at Ruan Qingling, who understood and took out a box of Longjing tea prepared at the side.
"Boss Zheng, this is your tea."
Secretary Zheng recognized it as Longjing tea and took it happily.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiang."
