After the lunch frenzy, Ye Jiayao called Zhong Xiang, Deng Haichuan, Wang Mingde, and Cui Dongpeng over to a little teahouse outside for a meeting.

Such an important feast was impossible to manage on her own. She needed to bring some helpers along.

She has her own reasons why she chose those four.

Zhong Xiang’s skills were more holistic but Ye Jiayao wanted him to focus on pastry. Deng Haichuan would be in charge of ingredients and the materials. Wang Mingde was good at making soup seasoning. He once mentioned that he learned how to make vegetarian food, and Little Jingjing had told her that the old princess was a Buddhist and a vegetarian. As for Cui Dongpeng, he was a very hardworking person, his cutting skills were excellent, and he could follow directions very well.

Of course, the most crucial point was that the four of them have a good relationship with her.

Ye Jiayao briefed them about the feast. “When the time comes, I want to invite you to go over with me. If we do a good job, we could be hired to do more feasts. This is our chance. Are you in or not?”

Without a second of hesitation, the four of them replied in unison, “In.”

Their faces were all filled with excitement. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity, they’d be fools to refuse.

Deng Haichuan said, “Brother Yao, just tell us what you want us to do. We won’t let you down.”

Wang Mingde and Cui Dongpeng nodded eagerly.

“Brother Yao, we will follow your orders,” Zhong Xiang declared.

Ye Jiayao smiled. “Alright, but I have to tell you, only success is allowed. I will not tolerate failure. Every one of you has to put in your 110% to do this. I will delegate the tasks out tomorrow. Whoever screws up will not be given a second chance.”

Zhong Xiang said, “Don’t worry, Li Yao, we will give this our best shot.”

“Then it’s all settled. Tomorrow, I will draft out the menu and pass it to the Helian Mansion for checking. Once it is passed, everyone has to get ready immediately. Oh, and also, before the menu is confirmed, everything should be kept a secret.”

Everyone nodded. “Okay.”

After that, Ye Jiayao made a trip back to Laifu Motel to retrieve her little booklet, her manual to success.

She has seen the menu that Little Jingjing gave her from Zhao Qixuan’s grandmother’s birthday feast last year. It was done by Fu Ji and was no different from the regular birthday feast, just more expensive dishes. Indeed, the meals from the Manchu Han Imperial feast menu was more detailed, with reasonable arrangements. What she wanted to do now was to make slight changes to the Manchurian dishes that the southerners were not used to.

After that, she loitered around the streets for a while. She went to a preserved fruit stall and bought a huge bag of things.

“Brother Yao, are you buying these back as snacks?” Song Qi’s mission today was to help her carry stuff.

“Do you want to have some while we play Doubles tonight?”

Song Qi’s eyes brightened up.”Sure, sure! The Heir-Son Lord is not on duty today, but we are still lacking one person. Nevermind! Finding another player is easy.”

Ye Jiayao bit her lip. She didn’t want to play with Chunyu.

“I am just joking about playing doubles. You can eat these, though. Right, which pastry shops sell the best pastry in Jin Ling?”
