"Chef Xia, Sister Li'er asked me to tell you that there are guests looking for them in front," the little maid walked up to a few people and said.

"Will there be guests coming at this time? It's too early, isn't it? The first thing that Hua Mian thought of was the Zhongguan who often came to buy snacks during the Lanqiu Festival, and he had been here a few times since the Lanqiu Festival, but each time he waited in the side yard for Hua Mian to finish and sent over, and he had never gone to the main gate with such fanfare.

"Could it be the one who came?" Hua Mian thought as she walked out of the kitchen behind the maid, and before entering the main building, she didn't forget to find a veil from her pocket and put it on.

"Who is here?" , Hua Mian wanted to inquire about some news before the meeting, and he had a good preparation in his heart, if it was such a formal visit from the Zhongguan that he knew, it might be a big order or something, but if it wasn't him but someone else, it was best for him to prepare in advance, in case of emergency.

The maid shook her head and said, "I don't know, I was about to go out to clean when I met Sister Li'er and called me to call you, and I didn't have time to ask what was the matter."

What was Li'er's expression like at that time? Nervous? Happy? ”

"I haven't learned to observe... But don't worry, Chef Xia, Sister Li'er's voice sounds the same as usual."

At least I know that the voice has not changed, fortunately, it will not be a big deal, Huamian is like eating a reassuring pill, and it is a lot more stable.

Along the way, the people in the store were also preparing for the opening of the store as usual, and there were no accidents on the faces of these attendants.

"It shouldn't be a big deal this way"

Hua Mian's thought didn't last long, and when he walked to the Grand Banquet Hall of Yilan Building, he was reassured by the scene in front of him.

In the banquet hall, Sikong Yu and a lieutenant in a luxurious official uniform were toasting from the upper seat, and the people standing on both sides below were full of ordinary lieutenants and soldiers, and the floor in the center of the banquet hall was stacked with boxes, bottles, cans, and brightly colored fabrics.

It seems that Sikong Yu likes these gifts very much, and he is in a good mood, and the smile on his face is almost squeezing out of water.

"Thank you Lord Ling for these gifts from Sister Jingfei, these are really rare items that you can't see in the royal capital market."

"Miss Six likes it, this is specially selected by our mother for Miss Six"

"This cloth also has incense powder, at first glance, it is from the Dongliu Kingdom, this is all a tribute from the palace, right?" , Sikong Yu's eyes lit up when he mentioned the incense powder.

The lieutenant who was called Lord Ling saw Hua Mian walk in during the conversation with Sikong Yu, and hurriedly got up a few steps and walked off the stage, walked to Hua Mian and bowed deeply.

"Our family is the chief steward of Concubine Jing's palace, Ling Ran"

"Lord Ling", Hua Mian also returned a formal blessing.

"Miss Huamian never has to do this big gift, before coming out, Concubine Jing Niangniang specially instructed that Miss Huamian is different from others, and she needs to treat the young ladies and young masters in the house according to the etiquette, and the girl can call our father-in-law Ling."

This time it's Hua Mian's turn to figure it out, it's only been half a year since she came to this world, even if she worked as a chef in this concubine's maiden family, but in the end she was kicked out of the house by the concubine's biological mother, according to Hua Mian's understanding, if the concubine knew that she was in the royal capital, it would be good not to blow her out, how could she let the steward of the palace be so polite to her?
