Chapter 316: The Banquet
Celebrating the king's new seal is something worth celebrating.
According to the custom, a banquet is to be held to entertain the guests who come to the door.
Uncle Zhongyong's mansion is afraid of Princess Qing, and he has not gone through such a major event, for fear that she will not be able to cook clearly, which will make people laugh. Send the fourth family early, and go to the door to recommend yourself.
There are also Su Zhang's who can think of this, although Su Zhang's has not held too many banquets, but he has participated in a lot of banquets, at least he knows some rules.
The three ladies sat together and discussed four things: the first was that the population was mixed and things were missing; There is no special person in charge for the second case, so he called it and prevaricated it; The third item requires too much money, and it is easy to take more than one person; The fourth item is the allocation of weight.
"There are three teams for the guests to pour the tea, one team is for the male guests, one team is for the female dependents, and one team is for the ladies. Someone should collect and clean the used cups and saucers. ”
"If you are in charge of the meal alone, which dish is on the table, and which table does not need this dish, you must also divide it into two groups, one group of men in the front yard and one group of female relatives in the back yard."
"These people who move tables and chairs, take care of the scene, clean up, and guard the door have to be arranged."
A royal palace holds a wedding banquet, and people are used everywhere, and 200 people need to be invited to temporarily call for it. The arrangement of these personnel needs to have a system, and it cannot all be put together.
Su Lingyu transferred the trustworthy people to the palace, and then asked for some servants from Zhongyongbo and Su Shan, and divided them into four teams and eight small teams. Set up four chief stewards, and the chief steward receives the right cards to receive silver coins and objects.
Respectively in charge of tea, rice, kitchen, and janitorial guards. Each squad assigns a different number of people according to the different tasks.
For example, in the male and female guest places, five people each serve tea, pour tea, serve dried fruit snacks, and five people take care of the cups, saucers, tea utensils, and prepare dried fruit snacks. If the cup and saucer tea vessel is missing, or broken, it will have to be compensated according to the price.
Eighteen men and women work in teams to prepare the table and serve the food, going back and forth between the kitchen and the feast.
and arrange for someone to guard a certain place, and all the tables, chairs, antiques, boxes, dusters, etc., all the grass and everything, whether they are lost or broken, must be found to the source, otherwise the caretaker will pay according to the price.
In and out of the pair of cards, and the withdrawal of the object of the card separate, people and the pair of cards to be consistent, can not only look at the pair of cards do not look at the person to the object.
After arranging the position of the personnel, he began to clean the Qingwang Mansion and prepare to receive guests.
Kapok and Ah Shan sat in charge of the warehouse, while asking people to move large objects such as tables and chairs, sputum boxes, felts, seats, pedals, etc., while carrying a pen to register objects, and a certain steward received something at a certain time on a certain day. These events are well registered.
Then, according to the quantity marked on the paper, tea leaves, dried fruits and other items are distributed.
On the day of the banquet, King Qing, Mr. Qingqiao, and Su Shan greeted the guests at the front door, and Li Yongzhi entertained the male guests with his loyal nephews in the hall.
The old four families of the Zhongyong Bofu and Su Zhang's family greeted the female dependents at the second gate, and Princess Qing Su Lingyu sat in the living room, waiting for the female dependents to come to the door.
If the old ladies of the Zhongyong family such as Uncle Zhong and Yong come to visit, Su Lingyu needs to go out of the Yuhua Gate to greet him.
The status is there, she doesn't need to please anyone, just give respect.
Mrs. Chi also came that day, although there was a post for the Chi family, but I didn't expect Mrs. Chi to come over.
The old lady can come over, which can be regarded as giving face, giving the stairs down, and breaking the rumors that outsiders say about disrespecting the mother's family.
Su Lingyu spoke a lot with the old ladies, and then went to direct the banquet.
Listen to the steward's instructions, give a decision, and then let the steward handle it.
After dealing with the outside affairs, Su Lingyu re-entered the banquet living room and chatted with everyone. Let's talk about skincare and children.
In these public places, it is not suitable to talk about political affairs, and no one will talk to her about political affairs here. Even if there is a request at home, it will go to a secret place and say it.
Moreover, they couldn't figure out the situation here, so they didn't dare to rashly come over and ask for help from the officialdom.
The guests who came were very peaceful, and they found friends to gather together, and there were two quarrels, but there was no more noisy.
Often before they quarreled, Su Lingyu stood over there to listen to what they were arguing about, what they were making trouble, and intervened in a timely manner.
The guests who came were very face-saving, gave face to King Qing, and gave face to Princess Qing, and did not continue to argue.
The kitchen said that it was time to serve, so Su Lingyu entered the inner hall and asked a few old ladies to move and sit in the dining area.
From inviting guests to sit down to setting the table, Su Lingyu kept staring.
Fortunately, throughout the banquet, from greeting the guests to seeing them off. There are a lot of small messes, but there are no big mistakes, and it can be regarded as a happy end.
After seeing off the guests, the masters sat together and said that their backs hurt.
Su Zhang stuffed Huaili to San'er, "You guys have a good rest, I'll deal with it below." ”
"It's finally time to rest!"
The fourth aunt beat her legs, "In the past, they were in charge of some places, but if they are in charge of it today, they will find that they can't manage it." ”
Su Zhang's is too, "I have helped with the banquets held at home, and I have also held banquets at home, but I have never seen such tiredness." ”
Su Lingyu said: "Fortunately, those people are willing to give face, and nothing happened." ”
The fourth aunt nodded, "A year ago, the crown princess held a full moon wine, and the six girls of the Liu family and the seventh girl of the Wenbo family fought directly, and the two ladies blamed each other, making it difficult for the whole banquet to continue. The former crown princess was also ridiculed for several days. ”
San'er stood up, "You sit down for a while, and I'll go to the front yard to have a look." ”
There are still some people in the front yard who have not dispersed, and those who remain are some drunkards, many of whom are military generals, surrounding General Sun, Sun Wei, and Xiao Jingxing to guess and toast.
Su Lingyu watched from a distance, did not approach, and ordered the servants to bring new wine and heated ingredients.
He also asked Uncle Tong to command the servants to evacuate the empty dining table.
Xiao Jingxing, who was half drunk, saw her, left the wine table, and let them play by themselves.
Before he could get closer, she could smell the wine.
"Why do you drink so much?" She asked.
"It's okay, it's a lot. Qingqiao, Su Shan, and Li Yongzhi were all drunk. You let the kitchen cook some decanting soup, and tell them to go and see it. ”
"Good. You drink less. ”
"I know it. Hiccup...... "Xiao Jingxing burped," it's almost over, cook the decanting soup, and when they drink it, then send someone to send them back. ”
There was a cheer behind him, and Xiao Jingxing looked back.
Seeing that there was a commotion, a military general praised his fists and feet, and the military generals on the side applauded.
"Good, good, good......"
Xiao Jingxing rubbed his forehead, "You go to the back, you don't need to cook too much decanting soup, it will be dispersed immediately." ”
Xiao Jingxing went back and pushed the boxer, as if to say a gesture.
Su Lingyu didn't leave, stopped and looked at it a few more times.
I saw that as soon as Wang Jingxing made a move, he overturned the person without giving face at all.
Su Lingyu supported his forehead, this is quickly dispersed?
Directly knock people over, and they will be broken up if they are not scattered.
I didn't see it, so I went back and asked someone to cook the decanting soup.
