Hundreds of thousands of taels were used to eat, and the next day it was convenient and there was nothing.

It's a big deal to let others smell it more, and the emperor slanders in his heart.

The dishes of the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet were already very extravagant, and the emperor thought it was already the extreme, but he didn't expect the Halloween to scare him even more!

The dishes of the Halloween Festival are as high as 200,000 taels of ingredients alone! And that's not even counting the silver for the drinks, but also for the decoration of the palace!

The palace decoration has to purchase palace lamps and flowers, and 200,000 taels are indispensable!

There are still many places where silver needs to be spent, and two or three million taels of silver can't run away after a Halloween Festival.

It's just that Concubine Li Guifei is right, this state banquet on the Wanshou Festival can't get worse and worse!

The Wanshou Festival is only held once in five years, and the dishes on the Wanshou Festival five years ago were approved by the Seven Princes of Beiming Kingdom to be useless.

It is said that the royal family is the most noble existence in the family of Zhong Ming Dingshi, but the royal family of their Nalan Kingdom doesn't even know how to eat!

It's really a naked slap in the face.

This time I must get my face back.

However, after the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, it was the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, and then there was the Wanshou Festival, and after eating so many meals, the emperor said that he could not afford to invite it.

The most important thing is to spend so much money to prepare so much precious food.

The minister didn't finish eating, the problem is that the ministers don't eat much at the palace banquet every year, and they waste an unknown amount of food.

It's all his money and the hard-earned money of the people!

Therefore, the emperor asked Wen Wen to come into the palace to discuss the menu.

He felt that the family of the county lord of Hui'an was quite researched in terms of food.

I want to see if I can save money at the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet.

Then on the Wanshou Festival, make a state banquet that is cheap and not rude, and makes people feel that the guests and hosts are happy.

Nuan Wen took a look at the menu, it was exquisite, and the food at the palace banquet was really getting more and more rich and glorious!

There are many delicacies from the mountains and seas, birds and animals! Cordyceps, black truffle, caviar, and the 5,000-year-old ginseng used in the state banquet of the Halloween to stew the soup! Is this stupid?

More than 5,000 years old, a national treasure, she estimates that the entire palace is just like this, life-saving!

I even want to take it out!

There are also six animals that have come up with a rich way to eat, fried duck brains! It's not a duck head, it's a duck brain! How many ducks do you have to make up a plate of duck brains?! And then a small dish of duck brains per table, how many ducks do you have to kill?

Why don't you just get a sparrow brain!

When I think about it like this, I see that there are also golden-edged bird's tongue, cockscomb, goose head bun, and pig's heart,........ Rhinonose, cod bone, fish roe, lion's mane mushroom, bear's paw, hash toad, deer tail, leopard fetus, etc.

It's an eye-opener for warmth!

Hallomy does need to show off the demeanor of a big country, but it's not so extravagant and wasteful, is this the ultimate show off of wealth?!

Wen Wen put down the food list, her expression was indescribable, and she wanted to ask Li Guifei, did she want to show off her wealth in front of the envoys of various countries when she made this menu?

But it's definitely not as rich as Beiming!

Tanglin may not be as good as it, people have a lot of salt in Tanglin country, and it is estimated that they have accumulated a lot of wealth by selling salt to various countries over the years.

The emperor put down the menu and couldn't wait to ask, "What does the county lord of Hui'an think?" ”

Warm and direct: "Extravagance and waste!" There is no humanity in the trenches! ”

Nalan Jinnian had a light in his eyes, and he also said eight words just now: "Extravagance and waste, ridiculous!" ”

The little girl is even more poisonous than herself!

The trench is inhumane, and it is used just right!

The emperor sighed: "I also feel extravagant and wasteful. It's really too much to expand the city now, and there are too many places to spend money. The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet can be simpler, but I can't save much by calculating the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet, at most 10,000 taels. The Birthday Festival is a state banquet, and several countries come to attend, which is not a shame, the state banquet must be grand, after all, it is about the face of Nalan country!

Lord Hui'an, you have also participated in the state banquet of the Tanglin Longevity Festival, and you also know that the dishes of this state banquet are extremely extravagant. But this way of eating, I also feel heartache! ”

There is no shortage of money and silver, and the emperor is also willing to show off, but this year is eventful, and silver is of great use.

The drought in the north and the floods in the south eased a while ago.

I don't know if God will reward you for the next year!

If there is another natural disaster, it will be trouble!

Wen Wen thought for a while: "The emperor's words are wrong, the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet can save at least more than 50,000 taels!" It costs a hundred thousand taels there! ”

The emperor's eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "More than 50,000 taels? How to save? ”

"Your Majesty, don't you think that there are too many people in each province who can participate in the palace banquet? The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is the emperor's banquet to invite the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, which is considered a grace to the officials! The emperor wants to give grace to his courtiers, and he can bring his family members, but is one or two family members enough?

Besides, it is easy to make trouble when there are too many people, so why not control the number of people attending the palace banquet. Can the ingredients prepared for such a palace banquet be reduced by more than half? ”

The emperor's eyes lit up, and since Emperor Taizu, he has stipulated: Ministers are not allowed to enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet except for the children of the concubines, and the children of the concubines can be brought into the palace, which is indeed a grace!

Therefore, each prefecture will bring women of the right age, and at least three people will come, and more than five or six will come from each prefecture.

He has seen seven or eight of the big families!

This is simply eating him!

If he stipulates that each minister can only bring two family members into the palace, unless the master of the palace specially summons him, he must not exceed two people! That's more than half the number.

The preparation of this ingredient can also be reduced by more than half, doesn't it save more than half of the silver?

"Lord Hui'an, pay attention!"

Tomorrow morning, he will stipulate this matter.

"What does the county lord of Hui'an think of the state banquet of the Wanshou Festival? There are still a few months to go before the Halloween Festival, but according to this menu, it is indeed necessary to prepare. ”

After all, there are several dishes on it that can only be eaten overseas, otherwise they can only be found in the deep mountains and forests, or deep under the sea, and they are even unavoidable, and he, the emperor, has not eaten them a few times.

The festival is still in the winter, and many dishes are hard to find.

That's why many dishes are very expensive!

"The state banquet is large and luxurious, and I can't wait to use the most precious ingredients in the world to show the hospitality of a great country! Tell everyone that we are the country of etiquette! At the same time, it also shows the national strength of our country from the side and tells everyone that our country is prosperous! It is easy for people not to be bullied. ”

"That's right!"

No lord wants to be rude at a state banquet.

Even if the poor people have guests at home, they will try their best to greet the guests!

It's hospitality, it's also human sophistication!

But there are more things to take into account between countries.

"Your Majesty, you don't get tired of eating! The most important thing about the food is delicious, and the delicious food is also comfortable for the guests to eat! Right? ”

"It's nature!" The emperor nodded.
