"I believe that delicacies from mountains and seas, abalone, ginseng, wings and tripe, and birds and beasts have all been eaten by envoys from all over the world. Each country's state banquet can also make these foods perfect, and each country can also provide these things to entertain envoys. This It’s nothing! There is no shortage of people! If we put all these things on the table according to this menu, people might say that we are like the nouveau riche and vulgar!"
The emperor nodded!
But no, when entertaining other countries’ monsters and monsters, the emperor would like to serve them all with vegetables!
Unfortunately, no!
"If that's the case, then why don't we do the opposite! Come up with a new idea when it comes to food! Let me tell you from the side that our food in Nalan Kingdom has been refined to the extreme!"
The emperor's eyes lit up: "Does Princess Hui'an have any good ideas?"
It is Princess Hui'an's attention that always catches everyone by surprise!
"I have an idea that one day the state banquet will be mainly vegetarian, with those delicacies from the mountains and seas as side dishes! I think that ordinary food can be made extremely delicious, just like turning a plate of green vegetables into a bowl of bird's nest. It also makes people convinced, and of course they think it is more worth tasting than bird's nest, this is the real delicacy!"
The emperor thought of something and nodded. In other words, he would rather eat a pile of vegetables from Princess Hui'an's house than a bowl of bird's nest stewed by the concubine in the palace.
"I will think carefully about the dishes for the state banquet for the Emperor's Longevity Festival when I go back. Then I will ask the Emperor to try it and see if he is satisfied with it or not!"
"Okay! Princess Hui'an, I will leave this matter to you! Don't worry, I will give you a month to think about it. Just think of a few dishes every day and let me try them!"
The emperor feels that his stomach will be blessed in the next one or two months!
Well, at least I have to taste hundreds of dishes before I decide on the dishes for the state banquet!
Thinking about the next six months, it’s really exciting!
Nalan Jinnian: "......"
warmth:"... ... .."
How many items per day
The emperor is so shameless!
But I didn’t care about the warmth, it was just a little food.
Nalan Jinnian saw the flower purchase for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, with a budget of two hundred thousand taels.
He said: "Didn't you create a flower garden?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows, glanced at Nalan Jinnian, and said nothing!
This brat!
Just to trick me!
He doesn't speak!
If you don't give me any benefits, just don't say anything!
Nuan Nuan was also looking at the flower purchase list for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.
Most of them are expensive flowers and plants, even the chrysanthemums are of famous brands.
Chrysanthemums are the most commonly used. Although they are famous chrysanthemums, now is the season when autumn chrysanthemums are in full bloom.
Two hundred thousand taels is a bit expensive, but...
It is difficult to have a fixed price for luxury flowers and plants. If they grow well, they will naturally be more expensive. This is certain.
So it’s hard to tell for the budget of 200,000 taels.
For the Wanshou Festival state banquet, the budget for flowers was 500,000 taels, all of which were rare and valuable flowers and plants. All the flowers along the palace path were made of precious peonies. If this is the case, five hundred thousand taels may not be enough. There are so many palaces, and even if they only decorate the palace roads where envoys pass, Tianyuan Hall and Jinluan Hall, a lot of flowers will be needed. At least nine hundred thousand taels!
Anyway, this is just a budget. Concubine Li must have obtained the emperor's consent first. When the time comes, there will be so many precious flowers and trees. Envoys from other countries will naturally be amazed when they see this. The emperor also feels that Beier has a face when he sees this. It will be fine if the emperor finds out after the Longevity Festival is over. It hurts, but because my face is back, I feel that the money was well spent.
The flowers in the palace have always been provided by the Royal Flower Garden, and the real owner behind the Royal Flower Garden is Prime Minister Li.
It’s just because he became an imperial merchant who supplied flowers to the palace, that’s why it was named the Royal Flower Garden!
It is not surprising that Concubine Li seeks welfare for her natal family.
Nuan Nuan also knew that the cooperation between the Li Family Royal Garden and the palace would expire in mid-August.
Logically, the name of this royal flower garden should be brought out again and competed by various flower farms.
But now, none of the major flower farms have received notifications asking them to prepare for bidding.
Now that Concubine Li is in charge of all affairs in the harem, she will naturally take care of her family's business. It is estimated that this bidding will not be held directly.
All she had to do was find an excuse and say that she was too busy preparing for the palace banquet and the Longevity Festival.
Nuan Nuan thought of Prime Minister Li's targeting of Wang Xiao and himself in court and privately...
Moreover, the cooperation documents of Royal Flower Garden have also expired, so it’s time for a fair competition!
In this case, you are welcome to be warm.
As long as she makes a move, Concubine Li will definitely have to hold a bid for the royal flower field~!
Nuan Nuan also wanted to take over the title of Royal Flower Garden. Originally, there was a chance to compete this year!
Wen Nuan pointed at the flower purchase list and said: "Your Majesty, my friend and I have worked together to create a flower garden. The flowers for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet can be..."
The emperor heard his voice and knew about Yaer. Before Nuan Nuan could finish his words, he said, "Don't leave any land to outsiders. As long as Princess Hui'an gives you a good price for the flowers for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, then Princess Hui'an will give you and your friends the flowers." The flower farm will supply it!”
Wen Nuan smiled when he heard the words: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty takes such good care of my daughter's business, and I also help you save some money! After the flowers used for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet wither, they can be sent back to our flower farm, our flower farmer I will replant it and let it bloom again in time for the New Year! In this way, the emperor can save a sum of money on purchasing flowers for the New Year's palace banquet! In other words, he will save two hundred thousand taels!"
After Nuan Nuan finished speaking, he said mischievously: "Your Majesty, many flowers bloom only once a year! Autumn chrysanthemums are common in autumn, but it is not easy to bloom in winter! I can turn autumn chrysanthemums into cold chrysanthemums! Do you think it's cool? A good deal?"
The emperor is also a lover of flowers, so he naturally knows that autumn chrysanthemums and cold chrysanthemums are different!
We also know that every flower has its flowering season, some flowers bloom once a year, and some bloom only once every few years! Some flowers only bloom once in their lifetime!
If you can make autumn chrysanthemums bloom in the cold winter, isn't that giving the flower a reverse destiny
He doesn't believe it!
This girl probably wants to get the name of the Royal Flower Garden, and then use Han Ju to pretend to be Qiu Ju!
But Qiuju and Hanju are not that important. What is important is Wanshou Festival.
I think Prime Minister Li has been acting inappropriately during this period. The Li family has occupied the Royal Garden for twelve years. Let’s teach them a lesson this time!
It just so happens that I can save two hundred thousand taels!
Well, the money saved can be used as a gift when the Seventeenth Emperor's brother and Princess Hui'an get married!
However, the name of the Royal Flower Garden cannot be broken and given directly to Princess Hui'an.
Lest the minister say that the emperor is partial to Princess Hui'an and King Jin.
But if the flowers brought out by Princess Hui'an at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet are good, then it is natural for her to be given the title of Royal Flower Garden, isn't it? !
