"Oh, I'm so tired." Everyone in the kitchen finally finished their work and was exhausted.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, everyone. You've worked so hard today. But I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to light the fire again. A distinguished guest has come to the courtyard today with a team of guards and attendants, about a hundred people. I hope the chefs will prepare more dishes." Seeing that the distinguished guests in front had left the table, the steward of the villa hurried to the kitchen.

"What? A hundred people? How can we do this? I'm afraid the ingredients are not enough. We haven't eaten yet." They have been busy for so many days and still haven't had a meal. Now that so many people have come, how can they not have complaints?

Manager Xu was not angry, but smiled and appeased: "Everyone has worked hard. The Fifth Madam said that today's reward will be doubled, and she will pay for it. Everyone, please don't neglect it."

Just for the sake of money, several chefs discussed it and decided to make a few pots of big dishes to go with rice, and steamed rice and flour to make up the meal. They also arranged to buy ingredients.

"We're finally done. Ladies, let's go out front and play and join in the fun." Qing Ning suggested after finishing the work at hand.

"That's not a good idea, little sister. There are some important people ahead. What if we bump into them if we go there?" Qingke thought about it and hesitated.

"Yeah, Qing Ning, let's forget about it. Let's wait until the nobles have left before we go. Besides, today is to entertain those nobles, it would be bad if we go."

When the others heard what Mai Miao said, they nodded in agreement. Qing Ning thought about it and realized that it was not because they were afraid of offending others. After all, they had paid, so they should follow them.

Seeing that Qingning no longer insisted, Qingke and his friends took her to the market stall.

No one had finished exploring all the tourist areas in the first half of the day, so the stall was relatively deserted in the first half of the day, but there were still some distinguished people visiting.

"Sister Maimiao, please go to the stall to help out this afternoon. Have all the pickled side dishes that Grandma Wang has packaged?" Qing Ning thought of the pickling methods of many side dishes that day, so she took the time to find Grandma Wang and taught her the methods so that they could sell them on the Spring Banquet.

"They have all been sealed as you requested, and their names have been affixed. We've also kept some for you, the nobles, to taste."

Seeing that they were ready, they didn't ask any more questions and went to the stall. Before they got close, the people guarding the stall greeted them warmly, and they responded politely one by one.

"Have you eaten yet?" the village chief asked with a smile when he saw them coming.

"We have all eaten the village chief."

"Qingning, let's go take a look first." After greeting each other, several people went about their business.

"Grandpa Village Chief, there shouldn't be many nobles here this morning, right?"

"Yes, there were only about ten distinguished guests who came here this morning, but each of them bought a lot of things and was very generous." The village chief's face was full of smiles when he mentioned this.

"Don't worry about this stall. We're all taking good care of it. Your father keeps checking it out, just in case someone doesn't do anything stupid. The same goes for the people in those villages. Those old guys are even more nervous and concerned than I am."

The village chief was really happy, not only could he make money, but he could also gain face. Ever since this happened, those old guys have been very polite to him.

"That's good. Village chief, you take a rest first. I'm going to look for Uncle Shi."

There was no dinner planned for today's Spring Banquet, so this was a must-visit. She had to make good preparations with Uncle Shi. These barbecued skewers were sure to be a big hit, and just thinking about it made her excited.

"Why is this girl grinning like an idiot?" The four Qingsong brothers were also helping at the stall at this time. They came over after eating.

Qingbai helped Mr. Wu set up the stall, Qingsong helped maintain order, and the other two helped Yu pick up the skewers.

"Who knows? It's nice to be cheerful every day."

"That's right. Look at my second sister. Now the boss is so angry that I don't even dare to talk to her."

Qingyu glanced at Qingzhu quietly, and her voice gradually became softer.

When they heard this, they couldn't help but glance towards Qingzhu, and they all agreed that the second sister was a bit intimidating.

"Hello Sister Zhen, have you eaten yet?"

"have eaten"

Seeing her coming, Zhenzhen put down her things, turned around and took out a bamboo tube of sugar water from the basket behind her and gave it to her. Although everyone had some of the sugar water brought out this morning, she was reluctant to drink it.

Seeing this, Qing Ning waved her hand: "Sister Zhen, we all drank some at dinner just now, so I'll leave these for you."

After hearing this, Zhenzhen insisted that it was saved for her. Qingzhu said, "Aunt Zhen, you can drink this by yourself. She drank three cups by herself at noon today. You can't let her drink any more, or she will get a stomachache."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." She didn't insist, put down her things and continued to organize.

This stall was the same one Yu Wu had, except that half of it sold elegant bookmark samples, and the other half was filled with colorful hair ornaments made of silk gauze.

The barbecue stall is at the very bottom and a little further downwind to avoid overpowering the smoky smell.

"Uncle Shi, how are you guys doing, eldest brother and second brother?" Qing Ning turned around and asked the three people not far away.

"Everything is almost ready. I can't wait to show off my shooting skills. And you come and see." As he said that, he waved Qing Ning over.

Qing Ning walked closer to take a look. Wow, he had actually brought the big earthenware jar used for roasting duck, which was roasting meat in it with a faint aroma.

Qing Ning couldn't help but admire and gave Yu Shi a thumbs up.

After about an hour and a half, people began to arrive, all of them curious. Qing Ning was also the first to see so many people at this time, and she was a little stunned.

Seeing that she didn't move, Qingyu pushed her: "What's wrong? Why are you staring at her without moving?"

"Second brother, when have I seen so many gods and immortals? Look at their clothes and their behavior. How is it different from that of gods and immortals?" It's not her fault that she is ignorant. Compared with the dramas and things she saw in her previous life and this reality, there is no comparison.

"Why? Are you envious of the beauty?"

"kindness"

"Don't be envious. I'll buy you everything when I make money in the future." Qingyu said as he rubbed her fluffy fur.

"And there's my eldest brother." Qingwu added as he listened to their conversation.

"Hehehe~ Then you two brothers have to work hard. I'm waiting for you to support me."

I feel like I'm one step closer to living a life of idleness and waiting for death.
