For the banquet to ensue, a lot of preparation needed to be done. And that's where Ma Tino and the other servants in charge of taking care of the manor and estate came in.
When Tapiwa met with Ma Tino, she found the other in the communal kitchen busy ordering the servants what they needed to do.
No one knew how many people would be coming to the banquet, but one thing was for sure: they would come in numbers.
So, a lot of food needed to be prepared.
"Are the ingredients enough?" Tapiwa asked as soon as Ma Tino's attention was on her.
Ma Tino scratched her nose sheepishly.
There was a lot of food at home, but honestly, she didn't think that it would be enough. As her mistress could be considered a noble, providing and serving quality food was of greater essence.
