370 Cold Food Festival
Lin Suisui had been living a peaceful life these past few days. Other than going to the dical center every day to check on the situation, she would also visit Mrs. Luo’s shop if it was still early afterwards.
Mrs. Luo’s shop mainly targeted custors who worked outside and ordinary traveling rchants. Therefore, there were no private rooms and only a food hall.
Because the custors they faced weren’t nobles, the renovation of the shop was very simple. They only prepared so tables and primped the wall and floor before opening for business.
Mrs. Luo’s signature dish was braised pork trotters.
!!
Then, they would prepare so wontons as the main dish.
Because the food was delicious, business was quite good.
Every ti Lin Suisui went, she would enter from the backyard and talk to Fang Rui’er and Fang Liu in the backyard to ask about the current situation of the shop.
Hearing that everything was going smoothly and that no one had co to cause trouble, Lin Suisui was relieved and ntioned sothing else. “I have sothing to ask Uncle Fang and your husband for help with.”
What Lin Suisui was talking about was the renovation of the new shop that she had been thinking about.
Because everything was on track at the dical center, Lin Suisui finally began to put the matter of cooperating with the Sun family on the agenda.
The renovation had been arranged in the morning, but what they lacked now was reliable manpower.
Lin Suisui had also seen the renovation of the eatery over the past few days, so she naturally wanted to entrust the renovation to Old Master Fang and Fang Dalang.
Fang Dalang, who had rushed over after receiving the letter, didn’t imdiately agree. Instead, he suggested going to the shop to take a look and he also wanted to see the renovation requirents.
Fang Dalang had his own concerns about this and explained to Lin Suisui very seriously, “Madam Liu, handing this matter to us ans you trust us.
However, as you know, my father and I usually only take on so ordinary work, so we can’t guarantee that we can do the renovation you want. Therefore, we can only go over and take a look first. If we confirm that we can do it, we definitely won’t disappoint you. However, if our craftsmanship isn’t up to par, we can’t just agree, then ruin your plan in the end, right?”
Upon hearing Fang Dalang’s words, Lin Suisui asked Su Le to arrange for soone to bring Fang Dalang over to take a look.
When Lin Suisui and Lu Ze were having dinner at night, the Fang family finally sent word that they could take on this job.
After receiving the Fang family’s reply, Lin Suisui didn’t delay. She asked Bai Guo to pass the news to Yuan Niang and ask her to go to the Fang family’s ho to settle this matter as soon as possible.
However, very soon, Lin Suisui no longer had ti to deal with these shops anymore because the next morning, the county governor’s wife suddenly ca to tell her about sothing she had almost forgotten—the Cold Food Festival.
The Cold Food Festival was a rather important festival in the north.
Because Cloud Mountain City was close to the border, it had been an important town since ancient tis! Countless soldiers had sacrificed themselves to protect their territory here. Therefore, they celebrated the Cold Food Festival to rember those heroes who had sacrificed their lives to protect their holand and it had beco one of the most important holidays in Cloud Mountain City every year.
In the past, the wife of the general who stabilizes the north was in charge of arranging the ritual every year.
However, the northern general’s residence was already sealed off. Seeing that Mr. Pei and the fourth prince, who were related to the general’s wife, didn’t do anything about it, people understood that the northern general residence would probably be left in the lurch in the future. In that case, County Governor Tang’s wife naturally wouldn’t be so stupid as to rush over at this ti.
She was here to discuss how to deal with this matter with Lin Suisui.
Compared to the previous few tis when she ca, this ti, County Governor Tang was much more respectful and humble.
“Isn’t there a usual ritual for the Cold Food Festival?” Lin Suisui looked at County Governor Tang’s wife as she questioned her indifferently.
Of course, she could tell that County Governor Tang was trying to please her, but she also knew very well how ridiculous this request was.
Since this was an event that happened every year in the north, after so many years of celebration, the rules should be fixed by now!
However, at this mont, Mrs. Tang actually ca over to ask her what to do…
Wasn’t she causing trouble?
“Yes, but I wonder if you have anything else to add.” County Governor Tang’s wife lowered her eyes. Facing Lin Suisui’s doubts, she felt aggrieved.
It wasn’t that she was causing trouble, but because she had suffered at Madam Pei’s hands before so she just wanted to play it safe…
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Tang. I’m not that fussy. Just follow the usual protocol. As long as everything is done well, I’ll have nothing to criticize.”
As Lin Suisui looked at County Governor Tang’s wife, she thought for a mont and understood her concerns and reassured her calmly.
Upon hearing Lin Suisui’s words, County Governor Tang’s wife finally relaxed a little. She stood up and promised Lin Suishou solemnly, “Since you say so, I’ll do it without worry. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely do all of this according to past protocol.”
However, on the day of the ritual, soone has to co and be the chief priest. In the past, the chief priest was the general who stabilizes the north every year, but this year… What should we do?”
Actually, the thing she wanted to ask the most was to choose the chief priest.
In the past, there weren’t so many big shots in Cloud Mountain City. Now that the general who stabilized the north was disgraced, who should beco the chief priest was the biggest problem in front of them.
“Madam, go back and make other arrangents first. There’s no hurry. I’ll discuss it with the general later.” Lin Suisui didn’t make things difficult for Mrs. Tang. Although she didn’t give her a response imdiately, she gave a very good compromise. “When the ti cos, ask Mr. Pei for his opinion. After we co to a conclusion, I’ll ask soone to send a letter to you imdiately.”
