Chapter 270 - 249 Dinner Starts Later
Meng Zhaojun’s painting movements looked quite swift, yet they still took some time.
The banquet was about to start, and Madam Tang had someone find her grandson and the small guests to return to the banquet for lunch.
This time the banquet wasn’t excessively large; it was held in the Tang Family’s main living room, and some tents were set up in the garden, utilizing pavilions and corridors as well, so there was no need to go to an outside restaurant.
However, some dishes had to be cooked at an outside restaurant and then delivered here. One restaurant, in order to prepare the Tang Family’s meal, had even closed its doors to other customers and was booked entirely by the Tang Family.
The restaurant booked by the Tang Family wasn’t only for the substantial reward money offered by the family; delivering so many dishes meant the chefs had to work even harder than they would in the restaurant. One reason for this was that the restaurant was owned by the Tang Family.
Nevertheless, today’s busyness meant that all the workers would receive reward money, allowing others to share in the young Master’s good fortune.
"Young Master, Madam has asked you and the others to come back for lunch," said the maid who had been sent, as she carefully squeezed in and whispered in Tang Shunyan’s ear.
Her arrival drew everyone’s attention. Although her speech was soft, her voice could be heard by everyone in the room.
