Chapter 62 (Bonus Chapter for Donations & Votes)~-O cotidiano da pequena esposa afortunada que assume as rédeas do lar(Descansar tranquilamente por muitos anos.)

Seeing her so confident, Mother Liushun smiled and said, "I also asked about it. This time, the banquet will last for two days in total. The first day will be a bit simpler, with four dishes and one soup, but by the afternoon of the second day, it will be eight dishes and one soup, probably for about ten tables or so."

"As for how much silver they will pay, if it's just for cooking, it will be around six to seven hundred copper cash. What do you think?"

Six to seven hundred copper cash! Huanya's eyes lit up, and she nodded heavily, "I can do it!"

"Huanya," Mother Song called out to her, "preparing a banquet is not like ordinary cooking at home. Are you sure you can handle it?"

"Yes!" Huanya answered resolutely, "Auntie, I can try it out first."

With that, she turned back to look at Mother Liushun, "Auntie, since your nephew's family wants to hire a professional chef for the banquet, they certainly want to make a good impression on the bride's family. I can personally cook a table of dishes for them to taste. If it's not too much trouble, please have them come over the day after tomorrow."

Huanya calculated carefully. Since Mother Liushun was only going to Liujiawan tomorrow, the time given by her sister's side would surely be ample.

Besides, there was still half a month left. Now that the autumn harvest had just ended, very few families could spare the time to get married and host wedding banquets at this moment, so the chefs over there must be entirely free.

Even if they went to hire a chef the day after tomorrow, it would still be completely in time!

However, all of this depended on whether Mother Liushun would trust her.

Mother Liushun was also hesitating. To be honest, if it were for her own family's banquet, she would certainly be very willing to give Huanya this chance, but this was to find someone for her sister's family.

Although her sister's family was not lacking in money, nobody's silver was blown in by the wind either. They couldn't just hire someone casually.

After hesitating for a moment, Mother Liushun said, "How about this? Tomorrow afternoon, my sister and eldest nephew are coming over. If you, Huanya, are truly sincere about doing this, come to my house tomorrow afternoon. I will provide the ingredients, and you can cook a meal first. I'll see what they have to say."

"You don't need to make too much, just four dishes and one soup. If they aren't used to your cooking, don't blame Auntie for not giving you a chance, alright?"

Huanya was overjoyed. "Alright! Thank you, Auntie!"

Mother Liushun waved her hand. "Don't thank me yet. Whether it works out or not still depends on tomorrow."

"It's different. Auntie giving me this chance is already something to be grateful for! If it doesn't work out tomorrow, it just means my own culinary skills are not up to par."

Yet she trusted her own culinary skills; they were bound to be up to par!

"Alright, then you think carefully about what to make tomorrow." Mother Liushun said, turning her gaze to Mother Song, "If it works out tomorrow... you still need to come with me."

Mother Liushun left some leeway in her words. She genuinely wanted to help the Song family, as Mother Song had been working all by herself previously, which was simply too exhausting.

Mother Song nodded. "Thank you."

"Oh, it's rare for you to be so polite." Mother Liushun laughed. "I'm leaving now, no need to see me out."

Mother Song did not see her out either. Waiting until the figure had receded into the distance, she closed the door.

Turning around, she saw Huanya still standing there and asked with a smile, "What is it now? You got the chance, why aren't you happy?"

Huanya shook her head. "I'm thinking about what to make. Auntie, what do you think I should cook tomorrow to make them like it?"

"As for that, Auntie really doesn't know." Mother Song found herself in a bit of a dilemma as well. In the past, she never cared about such things; just keeping the children alive was enough.

After a long pause, she said, "Why don't you make that fish from the other day?"

"Fish would be fine, but what if their family doesn't eat fish?"

Huanya, who had been so resolute just moments before, instantly lost her confidence. It wasn't that she lacked confidence in her culinary skills, but rather that some people simply didn't enjoy that particular dish.

"None of us used to eat fish either," Mother Song said with a smile. "Rest assured, whatever fish you cook, they are bound to love it!"
