An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Finally, after watching the four of them devour the two large plates of sugar-coated rice cakes and fern root cakes, the proprietress said, "You have to pay one or two taels of silver to reserve this private room, but the dishes need to be delivered quickly, otherwise we really won't be able to prepare them in time."

There was a hint of urgency in her voice, clearly worried that the kitchen wouldn't be able to prepare the food in time. The proprietress smiled, but her eyes revealed a hint of anxiety. After all, the customer had booked a large private room, and she didn't want to let him down because of her negligence.

Jing Chunxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss lady, we are not in a hurry. Our people are still working and won't be here until dark. In the kitchen, boss lady, just take care of other customers first." She didn't want to add unnecessary pressure to the boss lady, and she also wanted Ah Qi and the others to collect more dried bamboo shoots.

The proprietress breathed a sigh of relief, smiled slightly, and said, "Is that so! That's no problem, but it can't be too slow. It's okay to eat by candlelight, but it's easier to wash, chop, and cook when the lights are on. I hope you can understand." Her tone was calm, hoping that they could understand her difficulties.

Chuntao nodded, saying she understood, and then simply paid the full two taels of wine for the room. The landlady was easy to talk to, but she should be even more decisive. The young lady never liked them to drag their feet.

Jing Chunxi looked at the menu on the wall again and said to the proprietress, "Give each table a plate of your shop's specialties, but we'll provide the meat dishes ourselves. We'll have the game shop at the end of the alley deliver them later. Have the chef cook according to your usual method, just don't use too much chili."

The people of Jiujiang County like spicy food, but they can't stand it, so they have to remind the chefs to go slow.

The proprietress nodded happily and said repeatedly: "When it comes to the food for our guests from out of town, we always remind the chef not to be too heavy-handed." She had a smile on her face the whole time.

Seeing the young lady stop talking, as if she had forgotten something, Tang Shuang hurriedly said, "The sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes and fern root cakes must also be served." There was a hint of urgency in her voice, and her eyes were fixed on the proprietress, afraid that she would forget these two delicacies. Her face was filled with anxiety, afraid that her favorite food would be left out.

This amused the proprietress, who said with a smile, "Look at this fat girl, she really knows how to eat. Miss, how about serving one plate to each table?" There was a hint of teasing in her voice, and a smile in her eyes, as if she was teasing the frosting.

The proprietress had a doting smile on her face, and it was obvious that she liked Frosting's straightforward personality.

Xiao Man was getting anxious again and quickly interrupted, "We need two of each." Seeing that everyone was looking at him with suppressed laughter, Xiao Man mumbled, "There are too many people! I can't get any."

Xiao Man's face was a little embarrassed, but she still insisted on her request.

Chuntao asked the proprietress to sit down. After they finalized several dishes, Chuntao looked up and asked Jing Chunxi for her opinion: "Miss, how much do you think we should order for the sugar-coated rice cakes and bracken cakes?"

"Ordering twenty dishes of each should be enough. Have the waiter deliver them to the ship before noon tomorrow." Jing Chunxi blurted out without thinking, and he didn't feel that it was too little.

"Miss, twenty plates are not enough for one day. Xiaoman and I can eat one plate each." Frosting became anxious and blurted out immediately, poking Xiaoman with her elbow.

Xiao Man also quickly said: "Miss, please buy some more sugar-coated cakes!"

Chuntao didn't say anything, just smiled and stared at the two of them. How could she not guess what the two little guys were thinking?

With a slight smile, Jing Chunxi scolded them angrily: "You're just busy with your mouths! Where do you think you are?"

The two greedy cats laughed, looking unrepentant.

"I've already told you that it's up to you to order the dishes today. Just tell the boss lady how much you want. I don't care." Jing Chunxi was still soft-hearted after all. He was happy to see them enjoy their meal, so he just let them go and be the boss.

Tang Shuang and Xiao Man immediately surrounded Chun Tao and the shopkeeper, winking at her. Chun Tao had no choice but to ask the shopkeeper, "Can you use one of those big bamboo baskets they sell out there? Put a big basket of each kind in, and pad it with vegetable leaves."

Chuntao gestured the size of the basket with her hands while she spoke. Her exaggerated look made Jing Chunxi laugh: These three people have such big appetites that they are not even worried about overeating.

This time, not only were Tang Shuang and Xiao Man happy, but even the proprietress's eyes lit up. Such a large basket was quite substantial, probably enough to hold fifty or sixty plates. Selling just these two baskets could earn back the wages of the maids.

So he smiled even more cheerfully and said enthusiastically, "Sure! Why not? Bamboo baskets are the cheapest in our mountain city. You can get a basket this big for only three or five coins. I'll have a waiter go out with you and buy some. I'll also urge the game shop to slaughter the game for you quickly. Even if you eat late, we can't delay the meal."

After a while, the lady boss said, "I'll put some banana leaves under the bed. They're bigger and smell better."
