The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 849 The Housekeeper's Daughter Watching the Young Master's Love (Ancient Times) 2

Su Xiangran and Shao Bowen's business has been booming these days.

Because she is so busy every day, Su Xiangran hasn't gone to the Su family with her mother for a long time.

That day, Li Niang was preparing to return home after work as usual. However, at this moment, a servant in the lady's room suddenly called her.

"Li Niang! The Madam wants you to go see her for something!" A housekeeper with a kind face said to her with a smile.

Li Niang nodded to show that she understood, and then hurried over as quickly as possible.

Although her relationship with the master family was only one of employment, her husband was the steward of the Su family after all, and her son Su Cheng's studies were also supported by the Su family.

Therefore, she was full of gratitude to Mrs. Su.

When she stepped into the yard, she happened to hear Mrs. Su's voice coming from the room: "Not only you, but even I haven't seen her for a long time!"

"So the young lady won't come over recently?" Su Shangyun's tone revealed a hint of disappointment.

Just then, Li Niang walked into the room.

"Greetings, Miss and Madam!" Li Niang bowed to them.

Mrs. Su quickly responded, "We were just talking about your Xiao Ran! You just happened to be here."

Li Niang said modestly: "It's just that Madam always misses my monkey. In fact, she is not as good as you say!"

"If you want to say that about Xiao Ran, I won't agree!" Madam Su deliberately "glared" at Li Niang, "Although she is your daughter, I have watched her grow up over the years. She is not what you call a monkey!

You can ask around the city to find such a good-looking monkey. You really have no taste."

After these words were spoken, Li Niang and Mrs. Su's daughter Su Shangyun were stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud together.

"Mom, you said that the little sister is like a monkey, that's not okay." Su Shangyun said after she finished laughing.

"Let's not talk about this." Madam Su waved her hand, "Li Niang, actually I called you here today for no other reason than seeing Yun Niang's birthday is coming up, and since she is not that old, we don't plan to have a big celebration.

But we still need to prepare a small banquet. I know you can't prepare a large banquet by yourself, but a banquet for just a few people should be no problem!"

Li Niang thought for a moment and said, "If Madam doesn't mind, I can try to hold a 'lotus banquet'."

"Is 'Lotus Feast' a dish named after the lotus flower?" Su Shangyun asked curiously.

"Yes and no!" Li Niang then began to explain the origin of 'Lotus Banquet'.

In fact, this "Lotus Feast" was not created by her. It's just that Li Niang grew up in Jiangnan, where there are many lotus-related dishes every summer.

There are dim sum shaped like lotus flowers, and there are also dishes that use lotus flowers.

On Li Niang's birthday last year, her daughter Su Xiangran, in order to comfort herself from homesickness, recreated several Jiangnan dishes based on Li Niang's daily narration.

Li Niang has lived here for many years, so her taste has become somewhat biased towards the local flavors, so Su Xiangran improved the dishes, which are quite delicious.

Not only that, although Su Xiangran only cooked a few dishes, she asked her brother Su Cheng to compile a recipe for the rest of the dishes and give it to Li Niang.

As a birthday gift from the brother and sister to their mother.

After listening to Li Niang's explanation, Madam Su couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "I thought your Xiao Ran only had a talent for cooking, but I didn't expect she could be so talented!"

After hearing what Mrs. Su said, Li Niang immediately realized that she had been a little too proud of herself and had praised her daughter too much.

"Look at what the madam said. Actually, she just asked her brother to help her tidy up the recipe I mentioned before. She doesn't deserve any praise." Li Niang hurriedly tried to make amends.

"That being said, Miss is really amazing!" Su Shangyun's eyes were almost full of stars. "Can Miss come and help with the banquet this time?"

"That's fine! But Xiaoran seems to be very busy recently!" Mrs. Su said this, but her eyes were always smiling as she looked at Li Niang.

With a sigh in her heart, Li Niang knew that this meant she could not be refused, so she nodded and said, "She has been busy with business recently! If you really need her to come and help, I will let her take a day off."

"In that case, it's not good to let Xiao Ran work for nothing." Madam Su said directly, "Pay her wages. If she does a good job, there will be additional rewards."

Li Niang knew that her daughter had been saving money to rent a shop, and if she got this money it might be enough, so she agreed to the request.

Li Niang naturally agreed: "This is a good thing, our Xiao Ran will definitely agree."

Madam Su smiled and said, "Then let you and your daughter prepare this banquet. Just tell the butler if you need anything."

Li Niang thanked the lady again and said that she would do her best to host this birthday party.

After Li Niang left, Madam Su turned to Su Shangyun and said, "Are you satisfied now?"

Su Shangyun happily hugged Madam Su: "Thank you, mother!"
