Tomorrow is the first birthday banquet, and now Taishi Cai's mansion is very busy.

The lanterns are colorful, red silk is hanging everywhere, and everyone's face is beaming.

Cai Qian is old and has a son, so he naturally values this son more seriously, not to mention Cai Jing, he likes this grandson even more, so no one dares to slack off at this first birthday banquet.

Li Qi came to Taishi Cai's Mansion early this morning, and as soon as he entered the door, he met an old acquaintance, who was the Wang butler who refused him outside the door at the crab roe banquet last time, but now it is different from the past, who in Taishi's Mansion does not know Li Qi, Li Qi regards Taishifu as his home, he can come when he wants, he can leave when he wants, how can he need anything to report.

"Yo, Steward Wang, aren't you here to greet me?" Li Qi arched his hand and smiled.

This Wang Butler also has a certain status in Taishi Cai's mansion, how could he have greeted a cook, he was just about to go out, happened to meet Li Qi, a touch of resentment flashed in his eyes, all along, whenever Taishi Cai held a banquet, he stood in front of the door to welcome guests, this is an opportunity for them to show their faces, but this first birthday banquet is Li Qi is fully responsible, Li Qi naturally kicked him away, and Xiao Yu replaced his position, he now has Li Qi's teeth itching in his heart.

"Master Li is now a big celebrity in front of the master, how can I be qualified to greet you, I am here to help you get the red carpet." Steward Wang said with a smile, he has now been reduced to an errand runner, how sad he is.

That's really sour.

Li Qi smiled slightly, and suddenly in a commanding tone. He said, "Okay, remember, get me the red carpet back early, I'll check it later." With that, he walked straight inside.

The steward Wang was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and his face turned purple. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I want to see how long you can be refreshed." ”

Li Qi entered the Taishi Mansion and came directly to the back garden of the Cai Taishi Mansion, which was at least the size of a football field. There is an artificial lake the size of a swimming pool, surrounded by birds and flowers, which can be described as a scene of the Taishi Mansion.

At this time, on the wide grass in the middle, there were two tables ten meters long. Behind the two long tables are dozens of ordinary tables and chairs. Directly above is a round table about two meters in diameter and hollow in the middle.

In front of the large round table is a large room, and under the eaves of the large room, there are three wooden tables made of fine materials.

There were wooden pillars erected everywhere, and these wooden pillars were used to hang lanterns, but more than a dozen red cloths on their heads gathered from the branches of the trees around them to the top of the large round table, and a large lantern that could light twenty candles at the same time hung under the red cloth.

It's just that now there are only Cai Yong and a few of his cronies standing in the open space, so it seems very empty and quiet.

"Steward Cai."

Li Qi greeted him and smiled.

"Master Li. You're here. ”

Cai Yong returned the salute, and then said with a smile: "The furnishings here are all arranged according to your arrangement, do you think there is anything else that needs to be improved?" ”

Li Qi looked around, nodded, and said, "Very good." Very good, it's really hard to be a housekeeper Cai. ”

"I haven't done anything, but I'm afraid Master Li is tired these days." Cai Yong smiled slightly.

"Where, where."

Li Qi smiled faintly and asked again, "By the way, are those maids here?" ”

"It's been here a long time ago. Now I have changed my clothes in the annex. ”

Cai Yong said, frowning, and said curiously: "Master Li, why are those clothes you designed so weird?" ”

Li Qi smiled: "Don't blame Steward Cai, I'm just doing this for convenience." ”

"Oh, I see."

Cai Yong nodded slightly.

Li Qi said again: "Steward Cai, I'll leave it to you first, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look." ”

"Well, then you can go quickly, I'll just watch it here."

After Li Qi said goodbye to Cai Yong, he rushed to the kitchen again.

At this time, in the kitchen, hundreds of cooks were cooking some of the more difficult materials needed for tomorrow night, and when they saw Li Qi coming, they hurriedly put down their work and saluted him, and now they are completely convinced of Li Qi.

Li Qi smiled and nodded, let them continue to work, and then wandered around a few times, some places, a little pointer, seeing that there was no big problem, so let them finish dealing with these things, and hurried back to rest, tomorrow five watches, to the kitchen on time to gather.

The amount of dishes that Li Qi wants to cook this time is unusually huge, from tomorrow's fifth watch to the end of the banquet, there may be no respite, if you don't rest well, the error rate will be greatly increased.

Fortunately, the manpower and financial resources of the Taishi Mansion are very abundant, which also relieves some of the pressure on Li Qi's shoulders.

Li Qi also told these cooks to pay attention to the kitchen where they left after resting, thinking that Xiaoyu's side should also be ready.

Before I entered the front yard, I heard a burst of shouts from the yard.

"Slow down, slow down."

"If this breaks, watch your head."

"A little bit higher, left, left."

When Li Qi heard Cai Yong's voice, he was curious about what they were doing. When I went in, I saw two or three people carrying something similar to a plaque, as if they wanted to hang it on the eaves.

What's that?

Li Qi took a closer look, and gasped, this-isn't this the portrait I painted for Cai Lao?

This painting is actually the sketch that Cai Jing forcibly gave him in the Taishi Mansion last time with the best drawing paper.

The only difference is that the portrait has now changed from black and white to color, with a border.

Day! What does this old guy want to do?

Li Qi looked confused, walked to Cai Yong's side and asked, "Steward Cai, what are you doing here?" ”

Cai Yongzheng was engrossed in directing those family members, and when he heard someone behind him speak, he trembled, turned his head to look, saw that it was Li Qi, smiled bitterly, and said, "Oh, this is the master who asked us to hang this portrait, Master Li." You're really good at what you do. ”

"Steward Cai has won the award."

Li Qi smiled, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and muttered to himself in his heart, I couldn't imagine that this old man was so narcissistic, if he knew that I helped him draw a posthumous portrait, I don't know if he would take me to whip the corpse, fortunately, I don't understand the meaning of this year. Otherwise, a good birthday party would not have turned into a condolence party because of this portrait.

"Second master."

"Second master."

Just when Li Qi was secretly rejoicing, Cai Qian didn't know what was coming. He hurriedly saluted.

Cai Qian nodded, walked to Li Qi's side, and looked up at the portrait of his father. Said: "Master Li, I heard that you painted this painting?" ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

"I can't imagine that you have such skills as a cook, don't you know, my father treats this painting as a treasure, and even I can't touch it. Yes, the painting is really good, I heard that this painting is your own creation, what is it called? Cai Qian looked at Li Qi with a smile on his face and asked.

Li Qi said modestly: "Let the second master smile." ”

"Who dares to laugh at your painting now, then my father won't break his leg."

Cai Qian laughed. With a look of envy on his face, he said, "Master Li, your painting is really similar, I wonder if you can help me draw one." ”

"Huh?"

Li Qi opened his mouth slightly. looked at Cai Qian in surprise.

Cai Qian frowned lightly and said, "What? Don't you want to? ”

"Where. When the banquet is over, I will definitely help the second master draw a pair. ”

Li Qi broke out in a cold sweat and squeezed out a smile. It's not a big deal to help Cai Qian draw a picture, but he's worried. Cai Jing hung this painting here, obviously just to find him not to be quiet, when those guests came, saw this painting, in case he asked him to help him paint a picture, then he didn't have to paint his hands cramps.

Cai Qian nodded with satisfaction, glanced around, and said, "Li Qi, this is what you arranged?" ”

Li Qi was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "It was arranged by Steward Cai, but it was all my intention." ”

Cai Qian saw that his decoration was very strange, pointed to the long table, and said curiously: "Didn't you let the guests eat at this long table?" ”

"Of course not."

Li Qi smiled and said, "Actually, the way I have this banquet is a kind of buffet banquet. ”

"Buffet?"

Cai Qian glanced at him curiously and asked.

Li Qi nodded, and then told Cai Qian some of the ideas of the buffet banquet.

Cai Qian didn't seem to understand when she heard it, and said, "You mean, let the guests run to this long table to pick up the dishes, and then go back to the table to eat?" Isn't that too much trouble. ”

Li Qi explained with a smile: "What the second master said is not bad, but this is the fun of this buffet banquet, in the previous banquet, there were at most ten or twenty dishes on a table, which means that the guests can only eat so many dishes at most, and there are many guests, which is particularly troublesome."

This buffet banquet can serve fifty or sixty delicacies for the guests to taste, and the guests can eat whatever they want, without worrying about others. This is one of them. Second, in order to facilitate the communication of the guests, because all the knives and forks used in this banquet are used, so the guests can stand and eat with plates without having to return to the table, so that the guests are not fixed on a table, everyone can talk as they want, and others will not pay attention to you. ”

Cai Qian was stunned, and secretly thought, this buffet banquet is really very good, all he invited is a politician, what are politicians coming to the banquet for? It's not just to build a good relationship, the seats used to be arranged according to the grade, those third- and fourth-grade officials want to tie up those first-class officials, he doesn't have this opportunity, now it's okay, anyway, everyone is walking around, you can find whoever you want, you can find whom, those guests will not like it, and you can taste fifty or sixty dishes at once, this is simply enjoyment.

"You came up with this buffet too?" After Cai Qian figured this out, he was very surprised and asked.

Li Qi said with a smile: "Actually, it is all thanks to the second master's reminder that I can think of this buffet banquet." ”

Cai Qian was stunned and said, "Oh? There are such things. ”

"Yes, didn't the second master sue me last time, the number of people attending the banquet this time, there are more than 100 people, I racked my brains and thought about it all night before I came up with this buffet banquet. The buffet banquet can not only accommodate more than 100 people at the same time, but also make the scene more lively, so that everyone can enjoy themselves without worrying about others. ”

Cai Qian laughed and said, "Very good." I really didn't believe the wrong person, you really won my heart. ”

Li Qi smiled and nodded, but sighed secretly in his heart, thousands of clothes, but sycophants don't wear them!

Cai Qian chatted with Li Qi for a while and left.

After a while, Xiao Yu led forty maidservants and fifteen male bartenders to the clearing, and now they have all changed into new clothes, the women's clothes are similar to those of the drunken fairy bartender, they are all close-fitting clothes, mainly red and white, and the men's ones are more modern, the clothes and pants are separated, the sleeves are narrow, and the pants are also straight-legged, mainly blue and white.

All of them looked very energetic.

Li Qi dropped seventy or eighty maidservants from the Taishi's Mansion, and asked them to pretend to be guests, and rehearsed from beginning to end from entering the door to dining.

Among them, Li Qi emphasized the most is the difference between service and service, so that these maids must be treated equally, don't kneel down when they see anyone, be shocked, and treat guests according to the etiquette taught by Xiaoyu.

Rehearsed a few times, and the effect was not bad, but Taishi Cai's subordinates were too humble to the bones, no matter what they did, they all kept their heads down, and whatever they wanted, they were all stingy, so that Li Qi just wanted to fix their necks with a wooden frame, and then give them a horn.

In the afternoon, Li Qi went back to rest, he also had to recuperate, as for the rehearsals of the song and dance, they were all arranged by Feng Yinu, even if Li Qi wanted to intervene, he didn't have the ability. rq
