Imperial Dining Room.
The flames are blazing here, the people are dense, the bowls and spoons, knives and anvils, pots and pans are jingling, there are nearly 100 people busy working, and all kinds of voices echo endlessly.
"Wang Sangui, the assorted eight treasures are a little more exquisite, you don't look at what the occasion is today, and you are still so foolish......"
"Chef Zhao, your golden jade Chaofeng is a little more low-key, today is the emperor's banquet for hundreds of officials, do you know how frugal you want to be?"
"Master Liu, your duck is too good, the weight is not too much, Gonggong Cao will come to pass the word in person, don't do so much, delicate to ......"
The head chef of the Imperial Dining Room was a big fat man who walked around the kitchen with a radish in his hand.
"Okay."
'Listen to you. ’ "That's what Chef Pan said."
A group of people shouted and laughed, full of joy and energy.
Chef Pan was a big fat man, but his expression was quite stern, and his invisible eyes exuded majesty, and he walked around, at the front, and said loudly: "I don't care what you hear outside, who you have to do with it."
But in the eyes of my Pan Xiaoguang, the emperor is a good man, a great man!
He has an inconspicuous little person like us in his eyes, if you mess me up today, Hugh blames the surname Pan for turning his face and not recognizing people!
” "Chef, don't worry, we're not ignorant people!"
"Yes, the emperor canceled the cheap status and canceled all kinds of unfairness, we are all ordinary people now, and our children and grandchildren can take the imperial examination, what could be better than this?"
"If you want me to say, the emperor still looks up to our cooks, and the Golden Knife Kitchen Competition held by the Ministry of Industry since last year shows what this means, and it shows that the court treats us ......."
"I've really seen the emperor a few times, and when I look at it from a distance, it's the real dragon emperor, extravagant, but amiable, without the slightest arrogance, and he still smiles at me......"
"Ouch, this is a great blessing......"
"Hey, in the end, our emperor is still atmospheric, the last time I made a small dish, I accidentally put too much salt, and the emperor ate it quietly, and didn't say anything, you don't know, I was scared to death at that time......"
"The emperor is kind, Princess Yongning is also kind, the last time she came to the imperial dining room, she patted me on the shoulder and said that she did a good job, and she wanted to recommend one or two ...... to the queen mother."
Pan Xiaoguang listened for a while, and snorted coldly: "Okay, give me all the sycophants, take out your housekeeping skills, today the emperor is happy, the reward is absolutely indispensable, if it is smashed, hum, Liaodong, North Annan, South China Sea, you can choose, I will personally send you on the ship......"
As soon as Pan Xiaoguang's voice fell, everyone fell silent.
Now everyone in the capital knows that the imperial court does not open killing rings, nor does it let people go to prison, all of them are distributions, and this distribution is estimated to not be able to come back in this life, it is a distant and barbaric place.
Pan Xiaoguang saw that he suppressed everyone, walked to his kitchen, and waved the bright kitchen knife, he was going to make a specialty dish today and show his face at the banquet.
They are busy, and the Qianqing Palace is also busy.
Liu Shimin commanded the internal supervisors, palace maids, cleaning, decorating, placing tables and chairs, going in and out, and was busy in full swing.
In the warm pavilion, Zhu Xu listened to the movement outside, and looked at a book leisurely.
This is Xu Xiake's travelogue, which is very interesting to write, and he has seen and heard everywhere, even Zhu Xu has seen it with relish and is eye-opening.
Before it got dark, people began to enter outside the palace.
Song Yingxing of the Royal Political Yuan, Zhang Zhiji of the Military Academy and others came hand in hand and entered the palace gate.
Fu Tao of the Royal Money Village, Bi Maokang of the Ordnance Bureau and others then got out of the carriage, greeted each other, and walked into the palace gate.
Cao Wenzhao took Cao Dingjiao, Lu Xiangsheng and others arrived almost at the same time, politely a few times, and stepped forward.
Among the ministers, Zhang Weixian, the British public, Zhang Guoji, Zhang Guoji, Zhang Rongsui of the Zhang family, etc., were all together, talking and laughing happily, all the way to the Qianqing Palace.
In the clan, King Lu and King Jin also came one after another, all of them were very calm, talking and laughing like the wind.
The six Shangshu, plus some other 'representatives' of high-ranking officials who were not in Beijing, came together.
The five auxiliary ministers of the cabinet finally arrived, gathered in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, and sat down one after another according to the seats that had been arranged.
Before the time came, Zhu Xu was in the future, and a group of people sat on the seats and talked to each other.
Maybe it's because the year is coming to an end, everyone is very happy, without any scruples, quite happily talking and smiling.
Bi Ziyan sat with Sun Chengzong, King Jing, Wang Qiaonian, Sun Chuanting and others, letting go of 'grievances' between each other, and chatting with some relief.
It has nothing to do with government affairs, it has nothing to do with the wind and moon, it is like a homely affair, and the greetings are lively.
Not long after, Liu Shimin walked out and looked at the group of adults below.
When everyone saw it, they immediately fell silent, and they all looked at him in a daze, as if waiting for him to convey something.
Liu Shimin smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, my lords, the emperor is still changing clothes, and the miscellaneous family is just here to order the food, so you can talk about yours." ” Liu Shimin is a scholar in the end, and the evaluation of the outer court can be regarded as 'integrity', so from time to time the adults in the outer court are willing to be 'close' to him.
Nearly 100 people breathed a sigh of relief, Bi Ziyan thought about it, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, does the emperor have any other arrangements today?"
” Liu Shimin knew what Bi Ziyan meant, shook his head with a smile and said: "Although the emperor didn't say it explicitly, but miscellaneous people guessed that the emperor just wanted to have a lively time with all the adults, and had no other intentions. ” Bi Ziyan was worried that Zhu Xu would take this opportunity to do other things, and when he heard this, he felt a little relieved, and said, "There is Father-in-law Lao." ” Liu Shimin smiled and said nothing, and ordered someone to pass the food.
The palace maids came in from the side door with plates, and the side dishes were placed neatly and orderly in front of the tables of the adults, and then there were main dishes, one plate after another, and finally the wine, like a mutton fat jade bottle, delicate and exquisite.

A group of people watched dumbfounded, while the back looked at each other.
The dishes on the palace maid are very exquisite, and you can see that the cook's skills are very good, but there is no 'portion', only one-fifth the size of ordinary dishes, and it seems that you can eat it in one bite.
'What does this mean?'
’ The ministers muttered in their hearts, I don't know what the emperor who has not yet come forward means, is it telling them to be frugal?
"The emperor has arrived!"
Suddenly, Liu Shimin's voice sounded, and then Zhu Xu, who was dressed in imperial clothes, strode over and walked towards the dragon chair.
"Ministers see the emperor, long live my emperor!"
Nearly 100 people got up and saluted in the direction of the dragon chair.
Zhu Xu sat down, looked around, and said with a smile: "Flat, sit." ” "Your Majesty."
Everyone withdrew their hands and sat down one after another.
Zhu Xu looked around at these people, they are all the backbone of the Ming Dynasty, and they will be the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty now or in the future.
He was very happy, picked up the wine glass at hand and said, "Except for the old year, welcome the new year, everyone, today we are happy and drink this cup!"
” "Respect my emperor."
Everyone raised their wine glasses and gestured from afar.
