Chapter Eighty-Seven: The merchant family also relies on their own abilities
"I used to only know that lotus root can be stir-fried and made into soup, but I didn't expect that today I know that lotus root can also be steamed, and can be used as a soup for sweets." A young girl covered her mouth and chuckled as she enjoyed her meal.
"I've heard of this kind of practice," the other smiled, "but this kind of dish is a great test of the chef's knife skills and cooking skills, and in the entire capital, only the imperial chef in the palace can do this." ”
When the words fell, the people around them were amazed, this time the Marquis of Ling'an Mansion actually invited the imperial chef in the palace, which was enough to see how big this pomp was now.
While everyone was talking, the sound of silk and bamboo strings suddenly sounded from above, the sound was ethereal and clear, but mixed with festive colors. Let everyone be refreshed.
At the end of the song, the music was heard for a long time, and everyone was still unsatisfied. At this time, they all focused and looked up at the high platform in the center, only to see some strange makeup on the people in the distance, and the expressions on their faces were extremely funny. The character's humorous language and plot drew laughter from everyone. The reserved girl covered her mouth and smiled, and the smile in her eyes was about to overflow. The big man was even more happy to slap his hands and laugh, and for a while the courtyard was surrounded by laughter.
Two hours had passed, and the feast had ended, and everyone had returned with a smile of satisfaction. Just as they were about to leave, Chu Jinrong and Li Qiuchi suddenly walked in through the gate.
When everyone saw it, they knelt down one after another, and their voices were neat, "I've seen the crown prince, the crown princess!" ”
Chu Jinrong held Li Qiuchi's hand, and he looked like a couple of deep affection, which made the people next to him envious.
His gentle gaze swept over the crowd, "Get up." After everyone got up according to the words, they heard Chu Jinrong's faint voice sound, "What do you think is the banquet?" ”
The lady at the head raised her head and said with a smile: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the banquet was very well organized, and it was excellent in all aspects, which was enough to see the intentions of the organizers." ”
The people next to him were also excited, "Yes, yes, this banquet, everyone who participated in it had a lot of fun, and the program arranged was also very funny and elegant. ”
Everyone echoed and began to praise the organizers for their meticulous organization.
When the discussion almost stopped, Chu Jinrong smiled lightly: "Then do you know who is the person who organized this banquet?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and the person in front of them smiled: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, it is naturally organized by the people in the Ling Anhou Mansion." "Everyone else also agrees in their hearts, isn't it, this is the full moon banquet of the little prince of the Ling'an Hou Mansion, and it is naturally organized by the people of the Ling An Hou Mansion.
Chu Jinrong shook his head with a smile, and the people around him were surprised, and they couldn't help but start talking in a low voice, and there was a noisy sound around him.
"If I say, it seems to be the capital of the Yuan Gongzi to do it, he always has some novel ideas, and his ability is one of the best."
"Don't talk nonsense! How could Gongzi Yuan have a relationship with the full moon banquet of the little prince in the Ling'an Hou Mansion! I think this time it should be Miss Du from the former Quansheng Restaurant, and before she was sealed, I listened to the praise of others. It's a pity...... Creation makes people ......"
"This Du girl has already resigned, right? Her fame was not so great that she had to bother Mrs. Ling Anhou to invite her. Someone retorted.
"There are only a few capable people who can be invited in this capital, if they are not, who else?" Someone frowned with a headache.
Chu Jinrong saw that they were discussing hotly and didn't know who it was, so he hooked his lips, "This banquet was organized by the crown princess of this palace, from the preparation before the banquet to the end, she did it herself. ”
When the words fell, everyone looked at Li Qiuchi who was standing next to Chu Jinrong in shock. The eyes of others kept casting, but she didn't mean to dodge at all.
"Yes, I invited the crown princess to come over to arrange this banquet." At this time, Mrs. Ling Anhou suddenly stood up, her face was plain but unquestionable, and her eyebrows flashed with cold light like a sharp blade, "Before this, I heard someone say that those who are engaged in businessmen are lowly, but I don't know that most of the talented people are also from the merchant family. Some people are always too prejudiced. Today's feast is in everyone's eyes, and you must measure the good and the bad. The ability of the crown princess is beyond doubt. ”
These words were not cold, but they did hit the bottom of some people's hearts, and several people lowered their heads in shame. Several noble ladies who had maliciously slandered Li Qiuchi also blushed inadvertently and didn't say anything more.
"A woman is in business, relying on her true skills," Chu Jinrong also stood up and spoke, "In the future, this palace does not want to hear any more voices about slandering the crown princess, once discovered, it will be severely punished!" ”
Everyone hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The ministers follow the teachings of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Li Qiuchi was a little touched when he saw that Mrs. Ling Anhou and Chu Jinrong were on her side without hesitation. Although she has never cared about the opinions of others, some people are willing to stand up for themselves, and it is false to say that they are not moved.
Since then, the wealthy families of Fuyang City have also tried to invite Li Qiuchi to arrange a banquet, and Li Qiuchi has lived up to expectations, every time she organizes a banquet, everyone praises it, even if it is a simple place, it can make people feel comfortable.
Li Qiuchi also makes good use of the style of the mansion to play on the topic, so as to achieve better results. This move made everyone in Fuyang City full of praise, and the number of times she was invited to the door was more, although the people next to her had not tried it, but when they saw that the people around them praised it, they couldn't help but start to follow suit. Soon, Li Qiuchi amassed a large number of stable customers, and she would receive more than three invitations every month, and Li Qiuchi did an excellent job every time.
But because the wealthy families also have high and low, they are afraid that they will damage each other's friendship and cause trouble for themselves because of this, so Li Qiuchi set up a rule. The banquet system is run according to the official rank of the officials and the purpose of the banquet, and the officials of the same rank are treated equally, only slightly changing some small details they require, and holding them according to the characteristics of the mansion.
After the rules are established, they will not be easily changed, and gradually become a tacit thing for everyone.
One day, Miss Suning, who is famous at the top of the capital, also came to the door for a noble girl.
After she saw Li Qiuchi, she got straight to the point: "I want you to help me buy a banquet, the atmosphere should be active, the layout should be extravagant, every 108 ingredients in it can not be repeated, I want precious begonia wood for tables and chairs, and the tea needs to be brewed with freshly picked morning dew every morning, so as to have that atmospheric feeling." And this banquet, you must not be sloppy, last time you purchased He Zhi's banquet, right? This time it must be more extravagant than hers, preferably a feeling that makes people shine......"
"Stop." Li Qiuchi couldn't help but interrupt, "Miss Su, if you want to buy a banquet, you just need to report to me your rank and the purpose of the banquet." ”
