Chapter 375: The Day of the Palace Banquet
Although Xiao Xuanyi is Jinshu's godfather, he can't make decisions about this matter, so he still needs to go back and ask Jinshu's opinion. It's just that when he thought that he had done what the Internal Affairs Office should have done, Xiao Xuan also felt a little aggrieved. He was originally a dignified general of the Xia Kingdom, but now he has fallen into such a situation, no matter how you look at it, he has lost money.
But it is useless to be wronged. The so-called food king's Lu bears the king's worries, even if it is just these trivial matters, he has no room for complaining. So after leaving the palace, Xiao Xuan also went directly to the Zhongwu General's Mansion and told Jinshu about it.
"The monarch asked me to hold this palace banquet? Godfather, you're kidding! "Jin Shu was a little incredulous. Although she knew that with her current strength, it was not difficult to hold a palace banquet or something, but how did this matter fall on her head? Can the affairs of the palace still be mixed up casually by ordinary people?
"Do you think I'm joking?" Xiao Xuan didn't answer, but asked Jinshu rhetorically.
"But I still can't figure it out." Jin Shu frowned slightly, "Could it be that the monarch of the country also went to Sishiju and the hot pot restaurant to eat?" Otherwise, how could he have entrusted me with such an important task? ”
Xiao Xuan didn't expect her sixth sense to be so accurate, and she was a little impressed for a while. But the fact that Mr. Yan was the monarch before him couldn't easily leak it.
"You don't have to have eaten anything in your store, maybe someone recommended you in front of the king. What's more, it was not uncommon to invite someone to hold a palace banquet outside the palace. Isn't it because you can win this honor that the monarch affirms you? ”
"That's right." Jin Shu said to himself.
So, the matter of holding a palace banquet was answered by her in this way. Now there are still more than two months before the palace banquet, and Jinshu still has a lot of time to prepare.
After knowing that she should come down at this time, the monarch summoned Ming Quanzhong and asked him to arrange for someone from the Internal Affairs Office to meet Jinshu to discuss the palace banquet.
Jin Shu learned about the process of the palace banquet in previous years from the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and formulated a new plan according to the previous palace banquet process. Jinshu didn't pay too much attention to the other contents, and her main focus was on eating at the palace banquet.
What you eat matters. This is not only to have a trick, but also to ensure that the taste is good, but also to avoid all kinds of taboos from the emperor's relatives and ministers...... So after calculating together, Jin Shu found that this matter was not as simple as he imagined.
But no matter how troubled she is, she still has to face reality. It is impossible to escape, and Jinshu does not want to challenge the imperial power in this generation.
Time passed day by day, and the closer to the day of the palace banquet, the more nervous Jinshu became. She has already formulated the menu of the palace banquet, from cold dishes to hot dishes, from fried to steamed...... She thinks it through. Moreover, this menu was also set after the people from the Internal Affairs Office repeatedly confirmed that there were no problems, so she believed that there should be no mistakes at the banquet.
At the request of the king, Nishiki also exchanged the wine used at the banquet for wine. Obviously, his wine has not yet been put on sale, so where did the monarch know about it? Although Jin Shu was puzzled about this question, she didn't have the opportunity to ask the monarch in person, so she could only bury her curiosity.
Finally, in the process of Jinshu's anticipation and resistance, the day of the palace banquet finally came. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Jinshu deliberately dropped out all the chefs of the Four Seasons Residence, and the Four Seasons House closed on the day of the palace banquet.
