The night is getting deeper, and the palace banquet is coming to an end with delicious food and laughter.
The emperor glanced at the sundial and said: "The Wanshou Festival is coming soon. What do you think of the state banquet for the Wanshou Festival? How about using this kind of dishes to entertain envoys from various countries?"
The Minister of Hubu immediately said: "Back to the emperor, I think it's very good! But the Wanshou Festival state banquet is a big event, so we can add more dishes!"
Preparing dishes in this way is not only rich and colorful, but also saves a lot of ingredients and will not cause excessive waste. Although it is more difficult to make and takes a lot of thought and manpower, with so many cooks in the imperial dining room, the most important thing is manpower.
Other ministers also echoed: "Your Majesty, the dishes of this palace banquet are rich and novel, the appearance is graceful and pleasing to the eye, and the taste is extremely delicious. It is simply a blend of five flavors and a hundred flavors! It is addictive! Wei Chen thinks that this is a treat for the Longevity Festival. The envoy is just right!"
"The dishes at this palace banquet are of the highest quality in color, flavor, and appearance! It is just right for the envoys from the other four countries to take a good look at the sophistication of our Nalan Kingdom's food!"
... ...
The emperor was satisfied when he heard the praises from the whole palace.
This is the first time that all the civil and military officials of the dynasty are satisfied!
"Okay, since all the ministers think it's good, then the dishes for the Wanshou Festival palace banquet are also arranged in the same way! Of course, sixty-six dishes are not enough to show the style of our great country. We have thirty-three health-preserving dishes at home, and nine The nineteen dishes mean that Nalan Kingdom will last forever and last for thousands of generations!"
Thirty-three healthy dishes
Everyone's eyes lit up after hearing this, so there was no reason to disagree!
The Minister of Hubu shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!"
He saves five cents every day and dare not think about health-preserving restaurants. He can't even save enough for a health-preserving dish for a year!
He decided not to eat on the day before Longevity Festival!
Otherwise, you will definitely not be able to finish the ninety-nine dishes!
Then everyone echoed in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Thirty-three health-preserving dishes are simply inhumane!
All the civil and military officials and wives of the court were happy, but Concubine Li was the only one who couldn't laugh!
And because I was so full, I felt even more heartbroken.
She knew that Concubine Shu, with the help of Princess Hui'an, had completely secured control of half of the harem this time.
Without half of her power, she is now only in charge of the Royal Garden and the Laundry Bureau.
What the hell does it do
What to do with her second prince
Why did you marry that bitch in the first place!
She didn’t know that she was a nail in Southern Xinjiang!
I originally thought that after the queen died, I would be the only one in the harem and be equivalent to the queen. I didn’t expect the emperor to be so unkind!
She and the second prince are also loyal!
The second prince is a prince, would he collude with people from southern Xinjiang
Now that the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for them, how can the second prince sit on the throne legitimately
Concubine Li looked at the Queen Mother, she also wanted to become the Queen Mother in the future!
Can’t be a queen in this life? The queen mother also has to...
Wait, now that there is no queen, why can't she be the queen
After she became the queen, the second prince naturally became the legitimate son. Then at least half of the courtiers in the court would directly support the second prince!
After all, the throne is passed down? The most important thing is orthodoxy!
Concubine Li couldn't help but start thinking about her journey as queen.
The emperor smiled and said: "Zi Shi is almost here, and the new year is coming. Is this the end of the palace banquet? Let's go back and watch the New Year!"
Having enough food and clothing for the people is the basis for every country to be rich and powerful. It is also the standard to measure the prosperity of that country.
Why do all countries try their best to entertain envoys from other countries during state banquets
I can’t wait to use all the ingredients I have. In short, I can be as extravagant as I want to show my country’s national strength.
Only when people have enough food and clothing will they start to pay attention to their diet, pursue delicious food, and pursue refinement!
And they in Nalan Kingdom have begun to pursue health preservation in addition to exquisite delicacies!
When it comes to food, who among the five countries can compete
Their Nalan Kingdom is a well-deserved, great country! ! !
invincible!
The emperor is filled with pride!
He only hopes to present the prosperity of Nalan Kingdom and the prosperous empire under his leadership to the world!
The emperor was filled with pride at this moment.
But the whole hall looked at the leftovers in front of their tables, the exquisite and delicious dishes, a little reluctant to part with them!
Sixty-six dishes are a bit too much for one person to eat. Everyone is full to the point of eating, but they are still not finished!
Especially those married women and girls who tried their best but only ate more than forty dishes.
The people here are either in high positions or have distinguished status. They have never eaten any food. Sixty-six dishes are not many at the palace banquet. They have tried hundreds of dishes, but they can't finish them every time. , and I feel tired after eating it for a while!
But there has never been a time like now when they felt that their stomachs were too small and there was too little food to hold!
Also, did the palace banquet end too early
If you wait a little longer, your food will be digested in their stomachs, and they can still continue eating!
The Minister of Household Affairs looked at the ten dishes he had left and said shamelessly: "Your Majesty, cultivate yourself with tranquility and cultivate virtue with frugality! Waste is shameful! These dishes have gathered the essence of heaven and earth and the sweat of the people. The wisdom of Princess Hui'an and the energy of the imperial chef! Wei Chen thinks it should not be wasted, so he asks the emperor to give Wei Chen several food boxes, and Wei Chen packs it up and returns home!"
The emperor laughed loudly when he heard this: "That's right! Little Lizi, give Mr. Fang a food box!"
The Minister of the Ministry of Hubu: "Your Majesty, I want a multi-layered one. If you have one, it doesn't matter if you get a few more food boxes! Didn't the Master of the Ministry of Rites also have a lot of leftovers? I will pack them back together!" There is also the Minister of Industry,... I can also pack it up and go back!"
The Minister of Rites puffed his beard and glared: "Your Majesty, please give me a food box, and I will also pack it!"
Other ministers also echoed: "Your Majesty, please give me a food box. I also want to pack it! It's a shameful waste!"
... ..
If one person is shameless, it is shameless. If a group of people are shameless, that is a normal phenomenon!
Waste is indeed shameful, and thrift is glorious, so all the civil and military officials in the dynasty felt that they had done the right thing!
It is truly an example for people all over the world!
The emperor waved his hand: "That's right!"
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but turned around and asked Xiao Lizi: "Have you disposed of the old food boxes?"
The emperor knew that the palace would replace a new batch of food boxes every new year.
The emperor never cared where the old food boxes went.
Eunuch Li immediately said: "Back to the emperor, it should not have been dealt with yet."
The emperor nodded: "Then just pack it up for everyone and go back!"
This is not a waste.
Eunuch Li will be ready soon!
So that night, when everyone left the palace, they all took one or two food boxes with them.
To get rid of the old and welcome the new, Nalan Kingdom ushered in the 166th New Year with delicious food!
