It seems that the results of inviting her or not to invite her are almost the same.

Just when Erfu was about to say that he had decided to do so, the fourth master, who had been silent, spoke.

He said, "Since you are going to invite all the concubines to gather together in the garden, it is not an exception."

Erfu smiled and nodded, and was just about to speak, when the fourth master continued: "Don't worry, the prince will come over that day, that is, she doesn't care about her own face, she will never care about the prince's face, even if she is unhappy, she should not make any rude moves." ”

After speaking, the fourth master put a special red gold invitation in front of Erfu.

Crown Princess Guerga.

A few simple words, but Erfu wrote very difficult, after a while, Erfu wrote the invitation, reached out and handed the invitation to the fourth master sitting opposite, she understood what the fourth master meant, the princess is still the princess in the end, different from the identity of other concubines, can not let the front yard steward arrange for the little servant to send the invitation over, and obviously the fourth master is planning to be the messenger himself.

At the same time, she also understood the reason why the fourth master was willing to become this messenger.

It's just that the fourth master doesn't want to give the crown princess Guerjia a chance to embarrass herself.

As far as the fourth master is concerned, his identity is a foreign man, and he can't easily contact the princess in private, he wants to send an invitation to the past, and he must send this invitation to the prince's hand first, and this invitation has been in the hands of the prince.

"Now that the invitation is written, let's see if anyone is missing. Erfu suppressed a lot of emotion in her heart, wrote the invitations one by one against the roster left by the eldest grandmother, and pushed the invitations that had been stacked a foot high to the fourth master, and said with a smile.

As the saying goes: it is better to fall into a village than to leave a person behind.

She is the person who doesn't like to join in the excitement among the women, it is rare for Zhang Luo to hold a viewing banquet, she must be extra cautious, otherwise if she is negligent and has left the Fujin and side Fujin of the house, wouldn't it offend people for no reason, so what is the purpose of her hard work to organize this viewing banquet......

The fourth master also knew that this kind of thing should be extra cautious, but he did not refuse the work arranged for him by Erfu, he put a stack of invitations in front of him, divided them one by one, and quickly counted some of them according to the order of the number corps, and then he looked through the invitations of other prefectures in the lower sect, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he asked Su Peisheng and Shilan to help put the invitations into the envelope one by one.

An evocative banquet, there are a lot of preparations that need to be done before, and the next post is just one of the small things, although it is also a relatively important thing, but compared to other things that need to be prepared, it is a little not worth mentioning.

For example, the layout of the hall where the guests are entertained, such as the design of various menus for entertaining guests......

In addition to those regular preparations, there are also flower halls and warm pavilions for guests to rest and rest, and there are many lakes in the Old Summer Palace, and she specially invited the children of various provinces to play, so she also has to arrange the palace maids with good water characteristics to serve, so as not to have some dangers that no one wants to happen.

As the mistress of the Fourth Master's Mansion and the concubine Fujin, these things need to be carefully arranged by Erfu.

Although she can also hand over these troubles to the palace maids to take care of, and she can also distribute these drudgeries to the side Fujin in the mansion to prepare, but she really doesn't worry about letting others take the initiative to do these things, and she is afraid that the Wulanala clan and others will take the opportunity to do something to trick her, so she can only be busy by herself.

Of course, she just sat in the peony platform and moved her mouth, and there were palace maids for those hands-on jobs.

But even so, she seemed particularly busy in the following days.

Because after all, some things can't be explained in a few words, and she still has to go to the field to command in person, and some problems on the set, she also needs to go over and accept them one by one.

And among all these preparations, the most important thing for Erf is the design of the menu.

There is a particularly luxurious dining room in the Old Summer Palace, and the chefs who work here are all experts carefully selected by Su Peisheng from the imperial dining room, and each has some special skills, but there are too many masters in this place, and it is easy to cause the phenomenon of not being convinced by each other, especially this is an opportunity to show his face in front of the masters of various mansions.

Today, this one sent a dish of cured meat and steamed.

Tomorrow, that one will give you a taste of flying dragon soup.

Later, another chef served a dish of Dong'an chicken.

In the past three days, there has not been a single duplicate dish on Erf's daily menu, and none of the dishes are from the hands of Xiao Shengzi, and even the afternoon fruit plate and dim sum have been contracted by these chefs in the dining room.

Taste the food every day, taste the soup every day......

This made Erfu and Siye, who have always been accustomed to home-cooked food, awkward and others.

Fortunately, these dishes are all full of color, flavor and flavor, that is, Erfu and they are a little unaccustomed to this kind of delicately presented and relatively small delicacies, but they will not feel unpalatable, but it is okay for a day or two, once the time is long, the face of the fourth master will inevitably show a little disgust.

It was another early morning, the fourth master who got up early and practiced boxing and fitness in the courtyard before dawn, sweated comfortably, and took a cold shower happily, and came to the dining table in the hall wearing a loose and comfortable muslin gown.

"These people are making a fuss and not having fun!" he said coldly, looking at the small plates on the table.

At this, Erf scratched her head a little embarrassedly and smiled.

The table of the Eight Immortals placed in this hall was full of small plates the size of palms, there were more than twenty of them, and each plate contained two delicate dim sums, and each plate was different.

There are pea yellow that Erfu often eats, and there are also chestnut cakes that the fourth master loves to eat, but the shape of these small snacks is very different, the pea yellow is made into the appearance of golden chrysanthemum, each piece has the size of a small wine cup, the flowers are in full bloom, and the chestnut cake is also made into the shape of real chestnuts, and even the fine lines on the chestnut shell are finely carved.

In addition to a few kinds of dim sum that Erfu and Siye often eat, there are also some dim sum that Erfu can't name, which are pinched into various flowers, fish and birds, etc., not to mention the taste, but they are exquisite.

There is no problem with these delicate dim sum used at the banquet, and the guests who want to come to the garden for the banquet will also like it, but if it is used daily, it will be too troublesome, at least Erfu does not think that such dim sum is more delicious than simple dim sum, and he is not willing to use these greasy dim sum for breakfast in the morning.

Instead of bothering to make these dim sums, why not have a bowl of millet porridge with xiao long bao and boiled side dishes......

Well, Erff is such a salted fish that has no pursuit.

In fact, it's not just Erfu who doesn't like this kind of breakfast, but also the fourth master.

He stood at the table, swept the plates and snacks on the table with cold eyes, and finally dropped a sentence and left: "Master has no appetite, so I won't eat at Peony Terrace today." ”

If Erfu was unwilling to discourage the enthusiasm of the chefs in the dining room before, and was willing to endure their various actions of competing with each other, but the fourth master's behavior of throwing his sleeves and leaving really stimulated Erfu, dare to love you A big man is unhappy and throw his sleeves away, who is this looking at, then it must be to show her face, then who is causing her to see the face of the fourth master, it must be those restless chefs in the dining room.

She was a little unhappy and ordered Shilan to put these snacks back in the food box and sent someone to invite Mama Qin over.

Mama Qin is the chief steward of the inner courtyard of the mansion, and also the chief steward of the inner garden of the Old Summer Palace.

And Erf invited her over at this time, just to let her control the expenses on the dining room.

This breakfast can make so many kinds of dim sum, is this a mine at home, or these chefs don't know the price of firewood and rice, the answer is not the first one, it must be the latter.

Such a waste, Erf said that he could not bear it.

After a while, Mama Qin, who lived in the wing room not far from Peony Terrace, came over.

Erfu motioned to Shilan to send the box full of snacks to Mama Qin, and said in a cold voice: "The chefs over there are really a little unusual, you can take the time to go over and persuade them in a while, if there are people who don't obey your orders, you don't have to come back and forth, just drive them out." ”

"The slave understands. Mama Qin hurriedly responded.

Can she say she hasn't seen anything wrong yet......

Mama Qin said that she can't, she is a good slave who is anxious about what her master is anxious about and thinks about what her master thinks, how can she not be in touch with her masters......

She took the food box that Shilan was carrying and walked outside, hurriedly pulled Shilan to the side, and asked in a low voice, "Why is our master angry?"

"I said Mama Qin, haven't you seen it yet, the master is distressed that the silver in the house has been spent like flowing water, and you don't want to think about what our master's menu is like on weekdays, the chef over there in this dining room sent such a breakfast, isn't this asking for bad luck!" Shilan and Mama Qin have a good relationship, and she doesn't mind saying a few more words, so she explained with a smile.

After listening to Shilan's explanation, Mama Qin grinned a little helplessly, carrying the food box and smiling.

She had the heart to go in and explain to Erph that this was really not a waste of serving those chefs in the dining room, it was the custom of the mansions before the banquet.

After all, the Fujin who is in charge of each house is not a chef who works in the kitchen, or no matter how shrewd Fujin is, he may not be able to understand the dishes that the chef is good at, so the chef in charge of the kitchen will consciously make his own specialty dishes for the masters in the house to try before the banquet, which is also an unwritten practice that is convenient for the masters to set a banquet menu.

It's just that after Erfu became a concubine, the Fourth Master's Mansion didn't hold a few banquets, so she didn't know this.

Besides, there are a lot of chefs in charge of the stove and spoon in the dining room of the Old Summer Palace, which causes Erfu to feel that these chefs are deliberately showing off their skills.

Mama Qin stood under the porch and briefly talked to Shilan about these words, and then went to the dining room with the food box.

Whether it was the master's misunderstanding or the master's deliberate provocation, since the master's order arrived, she had to dutifully remind and remind the chefs on errand in the dining room, and it was indeed a bit too much to send more than 20 snacks for this breakfast.

As for whether Erf's side can change her mind about these chefs in the dining room, what does it matter to her!

However, Shilan is a very conscientious and good palace maid, she learned about these things from Mama Qin, she didn't reserve it at all, and told Erfu everything, and let Erfu understand the thoughts of these chefs, but Erfu didn't plan to stop Mama Qin who went to the dining room to talk to the chefs, because she believed that Mama Qin could handle this well.

"You will record all the dishes that have been presented in the dining room in the past few days, and I will study the menu. Erph smiled and nodded and walked over to the dressing table, commanding as she asked Shilan to dress up for herself.

And on the dining room, Mama Qin did grasp the proportions just right.

She first found the steward of the dining room to give a few words, and then beat the busy chefs in front of the stove one by one, and then arranged for the palace maid who helped in the kitchen to pick out a few fairly simple food and put them in the eating box, and sent a breakfast that was more kind to Erfu's heart back to the Peony Terrace, and her errand was finished.

Erf, who had a relatively homely breakfast, sat down in front of the bookcase and got busy.

Because of the recent high temperatures, she happily discarded most of the dishes that were too greasy, and focused on the dessert column after the meal, adding a few desserts made of ice, and at the same time adding some refreshing and delicious side dishes to the main meal.

Eight meat and eight vegetables, there are mountain delicacies, there are seafood noodles.

On the menu, Erff abandons pork, beef and mutton, and chooses more refreshing meats such as chicken, duck and fish, with fresh vegetables in season, and carefully pickled side dishes by the chef in the dining room, arranging a menu that is especially suitable for summer consumption.

"These desserts made of ice, I'm afraid that the chefs in the dining room don't know much about it, you call Xiao Shengzi over for a while, let him teach the chefs who are on errands in the dining room, and then let the dining room send some food to the fourth master, this master didn't drink a sip of tea and ran to the front lake to discuss with the staff, and he was not afraid of starvation. Erf re-transcribed the menu, and then handed it into Shilan's hand and commanded in a low voice.
