The capital is one of the ancient capitals of China, after three dynasties, it was originally a place in the north of the Central Plains, and the climate was not very pleasant. However, after the establishment of the capital, relying on the Central Plains and the northern industry, it has developed rapidly, and it is now the second economic city in China.

After entering the capital, the cultural heritage came to the face, and all kinds of traditional Chinese gadgets took root here, which made Guan Xiao, who came here for the first time, full of novelty.

Since it was the Chinese New Year, the hotel's business was at a low ebb, Ye Yuan easily booked a suite in the Imperial Capital Five-Star Hotel, and in this suite, he could clearly see the Forbidden City not far away, shining with a red halo in the New Year's atmosphere.

This is the Imperial Suite, which has three bedrooms, two large living rooms, plus a reading room. In the innermost bathroom, there is also a double luxury bathtub, where you can soak in the bath while enjoying the large screen TV opposite.

Although the high-tech facilities here are not as good as the base, the quality is much better than the base, Guan Xiao is lying in the bathtub relaxed, with freshly squeezed juice next to him, and he is about to moan out comfortably.

"Girl, at seven o'clock tonight, I have set up a dinner in the royal mansion, after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, we will go to Shuntianfu to count down, are you ready?"

At this time, Ye Yuan pretended to be a waiter, knocked on the glass partition and said.

"What is that?" Guan Xiao sat up from the bubble and asked curiously.

"The big dishes of the north and the south, the Manchu and Han full feasts, the original Chinese New Year's Eve has not been booked, I specially asked the royal group to invite the son of a retired imperial chef to tailor this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for you. Ye Yuan said mysteriously, his tone evoking infinite reverie.

"Really fake, the son of the imperial chef, do you really know the god of cooking?" Guan Xiao asked as he remembered something.

"Yes, I know the god of cooking. Ye Yuan was also a little surprised.

"The son of the imperial chef of the former dynasty who is still engaged in catering is only Jin Wenzhen, I haven't eaten this, haven't I seen the news. Did you really invite someone, or Chinese New Year's Eve?"

"Don't you remember I said, I know a super good cook, he is Jin Wenzhen. Of course, I won't eat him for nothing this time, so I'll send an A-level commission, which is enough weight. ”

Ye Yuan said this, but Guan Xiao pouted, an A-level commission is worth at least one million, and it is more than enough to invite a kitchen god.

"I thought you were really bleeding, and you weren't squeezing our employees. Guan Xiao said jokingly.

"I'm really bleeding, the material cost of the palace dinner starts at 100,000 yuan, and the whole Han banquet is full, do you think it's a roadside stall?"

When Guan Xiao heard this, he muttered: "It's too wasteful for two people to eat a full Han banquet." ”

Ye Yuan sneered and said, "You'll know later." There's still an hour, so let's get ready. ”

After coming out of the bathtub, Guan Xiao's delicate curves were displayed on the frosted glass, and as he stepped into the changing room, Ye Yuan's saliva swallowed back. The girl's development is really getting better and better, but unfortunately I didn't see it......

Deliberately changed into new clothes for the New Year, a set of white long down jackets. The night in the capital is very cold, and you can't go out without wearing thick clothes.

Ye Yuan actually changed into Hanfu today, dressed like a Northeast hero, and wearing animal skins, his rugged appearance is like two people on weekdays.

The palace dinner is opposite the Forbidden City, which is a large courtyard with a construction area of more than 10,000 square meters, which was originally the residence of the former Yongwang Mansion, and is now contracted by the food tycoon Zhou Mingyao to become the Rolls-Royce of the food industry in Beijing.

There is a famous saying in the capital, that is, the people of Pingtou go to Fushou Hutong for dinner, which is delicious and economical. Rich people go to the restaurant to eat, exquisite and elegant. The local tyrant eats and goes to the big hotel, and he has a face. The aristocracy only chose the royal palace for dinner, which was a kind of culture.

The Chinese New Year's Eve night in the royal mansion is simply hard to find, and many local tycoons can't take turns even if they have money, let alone eat the full Han banquet?

When Ye Yuan and Guan Xiao came to the front yard of the palace together, several waiters dressed in the red clothes of the previous dynasty lined up to welcome them and ushered them into the dining room of the main hall, and the green background and red letters on the eaves of the corridor read "Land of Ten Thousand Blessings".

In front of the main hall is a stage, and a vermilion long wooden table is placed in the center, covered with yellow satin, and there is a Taishi chair on the left and right.

Sit down before the meal, wash, put on the hookah, watch the cards and listen to the play, the whole set is half an hour, and the appetizers are served up in turn along the drama of Wanshou Tianxiang, four fruits, four points, four honey and four cool, and twelve dishes are lined up in a circle.

At this time, if the diners don't want to eat, then they can push it away, this is just the façade before the main meal, and Guan Xiao likes to eat melon seeds and desserts, so he tasted some.

As the time came to seven o'clock in three, the north and south dishes were officially served, and thirty-six palace people dressed as service raw fish came in, each one meter apart, and the eight big bowls and eight big dishes were the first to be moved, first full of dishes and then Han cuisine, which was the previous rule.

I've seen it and I've never seen it, the dishes from all over the world are full of long tables, what fish belly and scarlet lips, what bear paws and shark's fins, what hump blood swallows, what roast ducks and golden chickens, which are dazzling.

A total of one hundred and eight dishes were served in an hour, but at the speed of Ye Yuan and Guan Xiao, each dish could only be tasted one bite.

"That's too much, how can we finish eating?" Guan Xiao muttered to Ye Yuan in a low voice while eating. At this moment, the stage is full of traditional plays.

"This is the culture of the capital, and most of the essence is included in one dinner, we just feel, it doesn't matter if we can't finish it. Ye Yuan was eating roast duck at the moment, drinking the palace treasury, listening to the opera on the stage, full of expressions of enjoyment.

"I don't have a lot of cultural feelings, but the rules are quite big. Guan Xiao looked around at the position of the waiter and muttered.

This is the rule of the royal aristocracy at the beginning, and it is also one of the cultures of the capital. It's like now, you are Gege, I am Brother, and this is our palace banquet. ”

Ye Yuan said jokingly, and at this time, a waiter dressed in front of the butler bowed down and whispered a few words to him.

Ye Yuan nodded, and then moved a chair and sat next to Guan Xiao.

"What are you doing here? This is also the rule of the nobility?" Guan Xiao asked curiously.

"If you're closer, you'll feel at home. Ye Yuan laughed.

Guan Xiao couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart, but he still hung Ye Yuan's arm in disgust.

"Uncle Die, I can't finish eating so many dishes, what a waste. People don't have food to eat in poor areas, okay. ”

Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, "This is true, that's why I set up a guardian, just to let everyone have something to eat." ”

Guan Xiao knew that Ye Yuan was joking, so he pouted and said, "You just blow it, and the luxury here is luxury, but the feeling of the New Year is light, making people feel as if they are acting." ”

"The feeling of the New Year will not fade. ”

After Ye Yuan finished saying this, he saw many men and women wearing festive costumes pouring out from all around the room, they were holding fists at Ye Yuan and Guan Xiao, saying auspicious words, and carrying their gifts.

"I have invited the entire staff of the palace who have not returned home to have dinner together, and everyone will have a different New Year in a different place!"

As Ye Yuan's voice fell, the sound of electronic firecrackers sounded all around, and the projector was also replaced on the stage, and the Spring Festival Gala also happened to open.

Dozens of people celebrated the New Year together, this experience was the first time Guan Xiao and Ye Yuan were also the first, but it felt ...... Great!
