Liu Ran's fourth uncle asked, "Wouldn't it be the famous Ye Imperial Chef in the State Guesthouse?"

Steward Lin smiled and said, "Mayor Liu, it's really him." ”

Liu Ran's fourth uncle said regretfully: "It turned out that he was retired, and it was really difficult to find a good craft like him." ”

Then he said enviously: "You are really blessed to be able to eat the dishes cooked by Imperial Chef Ye often." ”

While he was talking, a hot stir-fry came up. The old chief raised his glass and said, "For today's royal banquet, let's raise a glass to celebrate." ”

A variety of dishes were served one after another, such as bird's nest, monkey's head, abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin and other high-end banquets.

Grandpa Youyou said apologetically: "Bear paws, leopard fetuses, these things are really not together, this Manchu full banquet is just a number." ”

The mellow Moutai wine did not resist the temptation of food, and everyone focused on eating.

After Liu Ran's fourth uncle toasted, the second master returned two toasts on behalf of Hantun Village. Next, everyone listened to Steward Lin introduce the relevant knowledge of the Manchu and Han full seats.

The Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets were court feasts during the Qing Dynasty. The Manchu and Han banquets were originally a kind of banquets held in the Qing Dynasty court, and the Manchus and Han people made a full banquet.

There are at least one hundred and eight kinds of dishes served at the Manchu and Han banquets, 54 dishes of southern cuisine and 54 dishes of northern cuisine. 54 southern dishes: 30 Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes, 12 Fujian dishes, and 12 Guangdong dishes. 54 Northern dishes: 12 Manchu dishes, 12 Beijing dishes, 30 Shandong dishes.

The dishes of the Manchu and Han Dynasty are salty and sweet, meat and vegetarian, with a wide range of materials, fine materials, and all-encompassing delicacies from the mountains and seas.

These dishes not only have the characteristics of the court cuisine, but also have the essence of local flavors, and highlight and show the characteristics of Han cuisine, grilling, frying, stir-frying, boiling, roasting, etc., which are the treasures and the highest realm of Chinese cuisine culture.

The Manchu and Han dishes are exquisite, and the etiquette is exquisite, forming an eye-catching and unique style. The Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets are divided into six banquets, all of which are named after the famous banquet of the Qing Palace. Mongolian vassal banquet, courtier banquet, longevity banquet, Qiansu banquet, Jiubai banquet, festival banquet.

The Manchu and Han dishes are exquisite, forming a striking and unique style, with a unique etiquette. Before entering the table, two pairs of incense, tea and hand dishes are served; there are four fresh fruits, four dried fruits, four kan fruits and four candied fruits on the table; after entering the table, cold dishes are served first, and then hot stir-fried vegetables, large dishes, and beets are served in turn.

The dining environment is quaint and solemn, and the famous teacher is invited to play ancient music to accompany the banquet during the banquet, along the elegant style, the etiquette is rigorous and solemn, inheriting the traditional virtues, and serving the school court during the week, which makes people forget to return.

After the whole meal, you can appreciate the essence of Chinese cooking, the origin of food culture, and enjoy the supreme spirit of all things.

In the end, Steward Lin said: "For today's banquet, the entire Ai Mansion has been preparing for more than ten days. Although there is a lack of precious ingredients, the norms of the Manchu and Han banquets are complete.

Our prince and wife are kind-hearted, regard us subordinates as relatives, and take us old people back to care for the elderly, and the food and housing are the best, and most of the people in Aifu have returned.

The service of Lile is finally complete, although it is not perfect, but it can be said that it is generally in the past. ”

In Steward Lin's introduction, it lasted two hours, and one hundred and eight dishes were served, including meals and porridge.

If you take a bite of a dish, you can eat it. Twenty people at a table, there are still more than half left.

The remnants of the vegetables were withdrawn, all kinds of seasonal fruits were put on the table, the greasy Dahongpao tea was brewed, and everyone chatted and consumed.

Liu Ran's fourth uncle sighed with emotion, saying that he followed his niece and ate the legendary Manchu and Han banquets.

Then he said to Steward Lin: "In recent years, the country has implemented reform and opening up, and the number of international friendly people coming to Kyoto has increased year by year.

Mr. Lin, after listening to your introduction today, I realized that there is still so much attention to the Manchu and Han banquets. There are 108 dishes that may be made, and I don't know much about this etiquette and etiquette. ”

Yes, the new society pays attention to the equality of everyone, like today's service personnel, those who know how to do it know that it is a etiquette norm, and those who don't understand it think that they are waiting for people, which belongs to oppressing the people, and it is absolutely not allowed.

After resting for more than ten minutes and drinking a cup of tea, the old chief took everyone to leave.

Grandma Yoyo gave Liu Ran's uncle and mother two jars of salted duck eggs, and Liu Ran's grandfather liked to eat them. This time, the truck in the village brought ten jars of salted duck eggs to Grandpa Youyou's family.

When they broke up, everyone made an appointment to gather in front of Tiananmen Square at five o'clock tomorrow morning to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

Steward Lin gave the prepared foreign exchange coupons to Han Daocun and asked him to go back and distribute them to everyone.

The second master followed Guijin home, and the two brothers hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, so they must have chatted well.

Yoyo followed the tossing for a day, and he was really tired. After sending people away, she fell asleep when she went back to the room, and her mother helped her take off her clothes. The age is still young, and the physical strength and energy can't keep up.

I had no dreams all night, and at half past four in the morning, my grandmother called Youyou up. After a simple wash, the energetic Yoyo drove with his grandmother and Steward Lin to Tiananmen Square.

The road was unimpeded, at this time, there were few vehicles on Chang'an Avenue, and when they arrived, the people from Hantun Village had already arrived, and the truck was parked on the road on the west side of the square.

The people watching the flag-raising ceremony in the square have formed a semicircle under the flagpole. Although there are not tens of thousands of people every day, as in later generations, there are no less than a few thousand.

Most of the people who watched the flag-raising ceremony were residents of Kyoto, and the flag-raising ceremony has been going on for more than half a year, but the enthusiasm is still undiminished, and people get up early every day to watch it.

On December 28, 1982, the fifth squad of the 11th Squadron of the 6th Detachment of the former Beijing Armed Police Corps was stationed in Tiananmen Square to undertake the task of raising and lowering the national flag in Tiananmen Square.

With its upright military posture and mighty momentum, the National Flag Guards safeguard the dignity of the motherland and show the image of the country and the army to the world.

The people of Hantun Village came relatively early, just south of the National Flag Tower, which is the best place to watch. Today, the women of Hantun Village have all changed their clothes, bodybuilding pants with embroidered silk tops, tall and capable, especially eye-catching.

When Yoyo saw them, he quickly squeezed over and stood at the front.

The women around me asked them a lot about where to buy these pants, which looked long and very good-looking.

The women of Hantun Village proudly told them that this bodybuilding pants are the latest style in Shennan, don't look thin, they are elastic and very comfortable to wear.

Yoyo smiled secretly next to him, saying at home that it was skinny sweatpants, but when he entered Kyoto, he changed them all and became bodybuilding pants.

Yoyo's mother listened to Yoyo's complaints, looked at a group of proud women, and laughed.
