After surviving the salute again and again, Hua Mian only had admiration for the few chefs around him at this time, they could actually salute without delaying the work at hand, and then looked at Jia Lao sitting safely on the side, Emperor Deyuan seemed to acquiesce to his casual behavior.

After announcing the start of the banquet, Lord Zhu rushed over with a plate first, "Flowers... Girl Sleepy, look... Just look at this arrangement and guess that you must be there", he said, holding up the plate in his hand.

"Lord Zhu...", this Lord Zhu is really worthy of this surname, Hua Mian smiled secretly in his heart as he divided the lamb chops into small pieces on his plate.

"Again... One more piece."

Hua Mian's expected one servings were obviously not enough for Lord Zhu, while making up for Lord Zhu, Hua Mian secretly looked at the dining area in the other direction, only to see that the princesses and concubines were still sitting in their respective seats very dignified, and the maids of their respective palaces were picking up the meal, while several princes ran to the dining table with their own plates to choose.

Although Emperor Deyuan is also done by the palace people, you can feel that he is actually quite eager to join when he looks in the direction of the dining table from time to time on the seat, and it seems that the emperor himself is much more honest than the ladies who are still holding the shelves.

The New Year's banquet is different from the moon viewing banquet, although there are also musicians playing beautiful music, but no one arranges any dancers, perhaps because they don't want to be interrupted by the dancers' dance, compared to the content of the New Year's banquet during the moon viewing banquet, the content of the officials at the New Year's banquet seems to be much more formal, but Hua Mian doesn't care what they say, anyway, it has nothing to do with ordinary chefs like herself.

It's just that this year's New Year's banquet was due to the buffet format, which made many officials show a side that Emperor Deyuan had never seen.

"You put it down, that cake is obviously my first fancy to it", an official in front of the dim sum table was protesting, and standing opposite him was slowly sandwiching the dim sum was Lord Xiao of Zhongshu Province, whom Hua Mian also knew.

"The first strike is the strongest, if you see it, don't the dishes in this hall belong to adults?" , Lord Xiao is not polite.

"You! What you say is very disrespectful."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lord Xiao looked around the hall when he spoke just now, and this circle is not only the area where the courtiers are, but also includes...

"Xia Guan is just following the words of the adult, and has no other meaning", Lord Xiao's tone has always been respectful, but he didn't stop taking two skewers of grilled soft fish in his hand.

The lord of the Ministry of Industry obviously couldn't talk about Lord Xiao, so he stomped his foot and turned around and went to the dining table next door.

Several concubines in front of the palace were amused by this scene, "Why is that adult of such an age still grabbing food like a child?"

As soon as a certain concubine's voice fell, a prince who was walking back with a plate said: "You don't know about the mother, the fun of this buffet is to do it yourself."

Contrary to these people who were having a lot of fun, there were several envoys in the official area who did not know the meaning of this style of banquet, the old ministers led by Prime Minister Li Xu, and the national teacher who wore the same cloak as the moon viewing banquet.

Those envoys originally came here with their own purposes, and even Hua Mian could understand their cautious approach to these in front of them, as for Prime Minister Li Xu, he was not optimistic about the peace with Beilin, I am afraid that this emotion will also be brought to the ingredients from Beilin, as for the last table, the national teacher, this is what Hua Mian pays the most attention to.
