Feng Wu looked at Granny Gong. “Granny Gong, please tell me how many people there are in the residence.”
Granny Gong looked at Feng Wu sympathetically. “In total? 3,000.”
Feng Wu drew in her breath. “That many?”
Granny Gong smiled wryly. “That’s already fewer than before. A lot more people used to work here, but His Royal Highness didn’t like all the noise, so he let a lot of them go. Miss Wu, as you know, His Royal Highness is the heir to the throne and our future emperor. There are bound to be a lot of servants here.”
Feng Wu rubbed her forehead. She had just disrespected the future emperor; she should count herself very lucky to still be alive.
She had to cook for 3,000 people now.
“There are requirements for the meals here, right?” Feng Wu asked.
Granny Gong gave her a sympathetic look. “Yes. His Royal Highness’s dinner consists of thirty dishes, and dinner for the stewards consists of ten, and after that…”
Feng Wu listened in astonishment.
Forget the stewards and servants, Jun Linyuan’s dinner alone would be a lot of work. It was unbelievable!
Feng Wu asked Granny Gong, “And when do you usually have dinner?”
Granny Gong gave her another sympathetic look. “You only have two hours left.”
Feng Wu almost fainted.
Granny Gong nodded. “Yes, Miss Wu, you’ll have to prepare tens of thousands of dishes in two hours…”
This mission was impossible!
There were over a hundred chefs and assistants in the kitchen here.
Feng Wu pulled a long face. “Jun Linyuan gave me an impossible job!”
Granny Gong and the maids around her all nodded.
That was more than impossible. He was purposely making her life miserable.
Feng Wu lowered her head in frustration.
Granny Gong said sympathetically, “Miss Wu, how about you talk to His Royal Highness? He’s always been nice to you. I’m sure he’ll change his mind if you ask for his help.”
Feng Wu stared at Granny Gong in resignation and spoke in an exaggerated tone. “He’s always been nice to me? Granny Gong, you must be mistaken! He’s the worst! Otherwise, he wouldn’t be giving me trouble and making me angry all the time!”
Granny Gong was speechless.
She felt a little conflicted, because she couldn’t tell Feng Wu that the crown prince had a strange habit of picking on the person he liked.
Seeing that Granny Gong was speechless, Feng Wu was satisfied. “I’m right, aren’t I? I’m Jun Linyuan’s least favorite person!”
Granny Gong was speechless.
If one person in a relationship was silly, it was still manageable, but if both had no idea what was going on, what else was there to be done? Granny Gong was so worried.
Granny Gong heaved a sigh and changed the subject. “Miss Wu, what are you going to do?”
The others all looked worried as well.
Feng Wu rubbed her chin and fell into thought.
There were so many people in the crown prince’s residence, and since it involved their dinner and no one was told to keep the news a secret, the entire household soon heard about it.
Every servant in the crown prince’s residence was talking about it.
“Wait, Miss Wu is going to cook dinner for us? I can’t wait.”
“Why? She can’t possibly finish it.”
“Why do you say that?”
“Why do you think? We need tens of thousands of dishes, and no one is allowed to help her. She can’t possibly finish them all even if she has three pairs of hands!”
“You’re right. So… is His Royal Highness punishing Miss Wu?”
“Does His Royal Highness not like Miss Wu anymore?”
