The Zhou family opened two ready-to-wear stores, but they were not opened in a prosperous area, so the situation at home was worse than that of the Qi family, but since Lin Zhu took care of her own business, his family was naturally willing to give her this face.

After discussing with her daughters, Mrs. Zhou decided to take her two daughters with her.

"Mother, do you know what she looks like?" The youngest daughter Zhou Yuru asked curiously. With my sister looking at that invitation.

"My mother hasn't seen it either, and it seems that the housekeeper has been dealing with things outside. Your father has seen this butler, and I heard that he is very modest and courteous. Mrs. Zhou thought about it and said. The family just bought a few maids, and the family must be in a good situation. The Qi family also took over a big business from her. ”

"Then Qi Zhu'er will definitely go too?" Mrs. Zhou's eldest daughter, Zhou Yufen, looked up and asked.

"I haven't heard of this, Fen'er doesn't have to compare with her, those piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings won't matter what." Mrs. Zhou persuaded her eldest daughter. Zhou Yufen and Qi Zhuer are generally old and have grown up together since childhood, but they always like to compare each other.

"Mother, my daughter knows what to do." Zhou Yufen lowered her head and said.

"Regardless of whether Qi Zhu'er goes or not, you go with your mother, it can be regarded as a full courtesy, after all, after people moved over, they first gave things, and then bought clothes in our store, and took care of the business, we should go and send some congratulatory gifts, you can't learn from those small family people, those who look down on people's bad habits." Mrs. Zhou taught her two daughters. "Even if you can't talk to her, don't be disrespectful, maybe you won't see each other a few times in the future. Just laugh it off. ”

"Yes, mother." The two sisters replied in unison.

Mrs. Zhou watched the performance of her two daughters with satisfaction. "Prepare some small gifts, and if you look kind, give them to her."

"Mother, shall I prepare this purse?" Zhou Yuru didn't have too many scheming, she was very happy to meet a new friend, and generously took out her newly made purse.

"Well, yes, Ru'er's craftsmanship is getting better and better." Mrs. Zhou took the purse and looked at it with praise. Zhou Yuru happily found a box and wanted to put it up.

"Ru'er. You don't need to put it in a box. It's just a purse. Zhou Yufen looked at her busy work and felt that it was a bit excessive.

"Let her go, I heard that Lin Zhu girl is as old as Ru'er, and it may not be possible to come with her." Mrs. Zhou looked at her little daughter with a smile.

In fact, there is another family that has also dealt with Lin Zhu's family. It's just that Lin Zhu doesn't know what to do. That was when Shopkeeper Du bought this house. The lord Bo Wang Zifang who is in the official mansion, but Lin Zhu doesn't know what to do.

After Wang Zifang learned from the housekeeper that there was such an invitation, he also pondered in his heart. Because I have dealt with the Kizuki Trading House a few times before. So he knows the shopkeeper Du, and of course he also knows the status of the shopkeeper Du in the Muyue trading house, so he can let him buy a house by himself, and the identity of the up-to-top person should also be extraordinary.

So no matter what Lin Zhu said to the outside world, Wang Zifang had already taken her to heart. Let his wife be sure to go. Although the status of the merchant is not high, it just means that those ordinary small merchants, for him, a seven-rank petty official, a big merchant like Muyue Commercial Bank has a deep background in the capital, and it is not something he can provoke.

"Madam, just treat it with a normal heart, if this Lin girl is not worthy of fellowship, there is no need to be evil, just have less contact." The prince instructed his wife.

"Okay then, but I may not be able to talk to one child together, who let our family only have two stinky boys?" Mrs. Wang smiled, she gave birth to two sons to Wang Zi'an, one is fifteen years old and is about to take the Xiucai exam, and the other is only five years old, naughty and mischievous.

"It's okay to take Tianyou with her, she still has a three or four-year-old brother at home." The prince knows a little bit about the details of the Lin Zhu family.

"Alright then, God You doesn't have any playmates anyway." Madame Wang nodded.

The other families all had an attitude of whether they could go or not, but after learning that Wang Zifang's family was also going, they took action, no matter what happened to the newly moved main family, it was just a meeting with several other ladies.

Therefore, Lin Zhu's invitation was so smooth thanks to Wang Zifang's decision.

Lin Zhu didn't expect that the surrounding families would give face like this, and they all responded, so he hurriedly reformulated the menu with Xu and Qian Xuehui.

"Girl, our dishes don't have to be too outstanding, if you do it too well, it will inevitably make others think that you did it on purpose, and the people here are not a rich family, so it's better to lower the standard a little." Xu Shi looked at what Lin Zhu had prepared and persuaded him.

Lin Zhu listened to her words and was stunned for a moment, but after thinking for a while, he also agreed with Xu's words, although he has a small property, he is still a little girl in the countryside in the eyes of others, and chicken, duck and fish are fine.

"Okay, let's get some dishes with ordinary ingredients, but there are more tricks, and those fresh things at home, it doesn't hurt to get more." Lin Zhu nodded.

As a cook, Roche feels a lot of pressure, and it's okay to cook some home-cooked food, but this banquet has really not been done, in case it is messed up, but if it is good. So she was a little nervous and told Lin Zhu about her difficulties.

"Girl, the slave really has no faith." Luo was afraid that he would lose his errand, and he was afraid that he would mess up Lin Zhu's big business, so he stood in front of Lin Zhu.

"There's still time, so I think it's okay to practice more." Luo's question was something Lin Zhu didn't expect, but fortunately she raised it in advance, otherwise it would be a joke to have this incident on the day of the banquet. Roche still shook his head, his expression frustrated.

"Steward Feng." Lin Zhuzhi said that she was afraid because of her timidity, and she had an obstacle in her heart, so she had to call Steward Feng over. "Can you find a master from any restaurant, cook only one lunch, and promise him a month's money."

"Girl, why don't you call a table from the restaurant?" Feng Yuanbo proposed.

"That's not right." Lin Zhu shook his head, there is a difference in taste between what the chef has made and what he has been cooking for a long time, and it is impossible for others to think that he has treated them slowly.

Feng Yuanbo went out to find a suitable restaurant.

It's just that it's a little difficult to invite someone else's master, and no one in a restaurant wants to let their master master make extra money at noon.

Some calm shopkeepers can refuse with kind words, and some just turn their faces directly.

Feng Yuanbo, who had been looking for a day, was also a little discouraged, tired and hungry, and just wanted to find a place to eat, he was stopped by someone, "Isn't this Steward Feng?" Feng Yuanbo was a little strange that someone would know him here, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was the young man who took them to the house that day.

"It's a little brother." Feng Yuanbo had a very good impression of him, so he asked him to come over and have something to eat together.

"Steward Feng still don't call me a little like that, the little one's surname is Wu, Wu Ping'an, just be a little guy under the big boss, you just call me Ping'an." Wu Ping'an said with a smile, and saw that Feng Yuanbo's face was a little tired, "Does Steward Feng have anything to do?" ”

"It's something." Feng Yuanbo didn't hide it, after all, although Wu Ping'an was young, he should know more people than himself, and maybe he could help, so he mentioned the matter of finding a chef to him.

"Oh, I see." Wu Ping'an listened to Feng Yuanbo's words, thought for a while and said, "The little one knows the shopkeeper of a restaurant, you can try it first, the chef is a little difficult, but the second chef can borrow it." ”

"That's really Xie Lu, Xie Ping'an's little brother." Feng Yuanbo's problem is so simple in his eyes, it seems that he is not an ordinary fellow. And he worked under Lu Mingtao, not other shopkeepers, so it can be seen that he is capable.

"Hehe, you're so polite." Wu Ping'an knew that the head of the Dao attached great importance to Lin Zhu, so he also tried his best to help.

Wu Ping'an took Feng Yuanbo to Zuixianlou, the owner behind this is Mu Qingqi, and Lu Mingtao is a frequent visitor here, so the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou is very familiar with Wu Ping'an, who often follows Lu Mingtao.

"Why did Brother Wu come? Lu Gongzi is up there. As soon as the shopkeeper saw Wu Ping'an, he greeted him warmly.

"Really? There is probably something in charge, so I can't bother. Wu Ping'an shook his head, Lu Mingtao didn't let him follow today, presumably there were some things that were inconvenient for him to know, so he didn't move forward with interest. Shopkeeper Lin, I am here this time to ask for your help. ”

"Look at what you say, what else to help, what else can I do, just ask." When the shopkeeper Lin saw him coming to the door alone, he was not looking for Lu Mingtao, it must be his own private matter, what can he do with a restaurant shopkeeper for private affairs? It must have been someone who wanted to come over for dinner and take care of some face, so he readily agreed.

"Can you ask Master Wang to do a favor in a few days and cook a meal for the family?" As soon as Shopkeeper Lin's words fell, Wu Ping'an followed up, so when Shopkeeper Lin heard his request, the second half of the laughter was swallowed directly into his mouth.

"What?" He looked at Wu Ping'an with some surprise, as if he had just had an auditory hallucination. "Little Brother Wu, you are a bit of a strong man. This Master Wang is a pillar of support for me. ”

"Is it because Master Wang knows that Master Dao Wang's craftsmanship is good, so he came to borrow someone," Wu Ping'an said in his heart, there are many pillars of your roster, "Otherwise, you will ask Master Deng to do me a favor." ”

"Little Brother Wu, you really dare to open your mouth. Do you know how much they get paid a day? "Shopkeeper Lin said in his heart, even if you are a celebrity in front of Lu Mingtao, you can't let the cooks contribute in vain.

"Don't worry, I won't treat them badly." Wu Ping'an's chest slapped loudly, he knew in his heart that if he went to lead the way, Lin Zhu gave five taels of silver, this chef will definitely not give less, which master Lin let the shopkeeper go, which master will be considered to have earned it.
