The Peasant Girl’s Concubine’s Name Moves the World

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

It's a big deal to let others smell it, and the emperor is scornful.

The dishes of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet are already very extravagant. The emperor thought it was the ultimate, but he didn't expect the Longevity Festival to scare him to death!

For the dishes of the Longevity Festival, the budget for ingredients alone is as high as 200,000 taels! This is not to mention the silver of the drink and the silver of the palace decoration!

Palace decoration has to purchase palace lanterns and flowers, and 200,000 taels are indispensable!

There are still many places that need to spend money, and two or three million taels of silver cannot escape after a longevity festival.

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

The Longevity Festival is held only once every five years. The dishes on the Longevity Festival five years ago were criticized by the Seventh Prince of Beiming for nothing.

It is said that the royal family is the most honorable existence in the family of Zhongming Ding Food, but the royal family of Nalan Kingdom does not even know how to eat!

This is really a naked slap in the face.

This time, I must get my face back.

However, after the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet, the Palace Banquet on New Year's Eve, and then the Longevity Festival, the emperor said that he could not afford to eat so many meals.

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

The ministers don’t have to eat it. The problem is that the ministers at the palace banquet don’t eat much every year, and they waste an unknown amount of food.

All this wasted his money and the people's hard-earned money!

So the emperor, please warmly enter the palace to discuss the menu.

He felt that Hui'an County's family had a lot of research on eating.

I want to see if I can save some money at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

Then, on the Longevity Festival, a state banquet that is cheap and not rude, makes people feel that the guests and hosts are enjoying themselves.

Wen Nuan took it over and took a look at the menu. It was extremely exquisite. The food at the palace banquet really became more and more rich and glorious!

Mountain delicacies, birds and beasts, there are many! Cordyceps sinensis, black truffles, and caviar are nothing. The five thousand-year-old ginseng is used in the soup for the state banquet of the Longevity Festival! Is this stupid?

Ginseng that is more than 5,000 years old is a national treasure. She estimates that there is only one plant in the entire palace. It is used for life-saving!

I was even thinking of taking it out!

There are also six animals who have come up with a rich way to eat, fried duck brain! It's not a duck head, it's a duck brain! How many ducks does it take to make up a plate of duck brains? ! Then there is 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!

Thinking of warmth like this, I saw that there are also golden-edged sparrow tongues, cockscombs, goose head buns, pig heart tips, scorpion noses, cod bones, caviar roes, Hericium erinaceus, bear paws, hash toads, deer tails, leopard fetuses, etc.

It's just so warm and eye-opening!

It is true that the Longevity Festival needs to show off the style of a great country, but it is not so extravagant and wasteful. Is this the ultimate display of wealth? !

Wen Nuan put down the food list, her expression was indescribable, and she wanted to ask Concubine Li, did she make this menu to show off her wealth in front of various countries?

But Bifu is definitely not as good as Beiming Kingdom!

The Tangling Kingdom may not be comparable. The Tangling Kingdom has a lot of salt. It is estimated that they have accumulated a lot of wealth by selling salt to other countries over the years.

She put down the menu between the emperor and asked impatiently, "What do you think of Princess Hui'an?"

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

Nalan Jinnian's eyes were bright, and he just said eight words: "Excessive waste, extremely absurd!"

The little girl is more vicious than herself!

No human nature is used just right!

The emperor sighed: "I also feel that it is extravagant and wasteful. It is really too much to spend money to expand the city now. The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet can be simpler, but I can't save much by going to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. At most 10,000 taels. The Longevity Festival is a state banquet, and envoys from several countries are here to attend. This can't be shameful.

Lord Hui'an, you have also participated in the state banquet of the Tangling Longevity Festival, and you also know that the dishes of this state banquet are extremely extravagant. But eating this way makes my heart hurt too! "

There is no shortage of money and silver, and the emperor is also willing to show it off, but this year is very eventful, and the money is more useful.

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

Next year, I don't know if God will give you a face to eat!

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

Nuan thought for a while: "The emperor's words are bad, at least 50,000 taels can be saved for the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet! There needs to be hundreds of thousands of taels!"

The emperor's eyes widened, and he said: "More than fifty thousand taels? How to save it?"

"Your Majesty, don't you think there are too many people in each government to attend the palace banquet? The Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet is the emperor's banquet for the civil and military of the whole dynasty, which is considered a grace for all officials! Is one or two family members enough?

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

The emperor's eyes lit up, and since Emperor Taizu began to stipulate that ministers are not allowed to enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet except the children of the concubines, and the children of the direct descendants can be brought into the palace. This is indeed a grace!

Therefore, each prefecture will bring women of the right age. At least three people come, and more people come to five or six per prefecture.

He has also seen seven or eight of the whole family!

This simply eats him up!

If he stipulates that each minister can only bring two family members into the palace, unless the master of the palace specially summons them, they cannot exceed two! That number will be reduced by more than half.

The preparation of this ingredient can also be reduced by more than half, so it will save more than half of the silver?

"Master Hui'an, you have a good idea!"

Tomorrow morning, he will rule this matter down.

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

After all, several of the dishes above are only eaten overseas, otherwise they can only be found in the deep mountains and forests, or in the depths of the sea, and they are even impossible to find. The emperor has never eaten them a few times.

The Longevity Festival is still in winter, and many dishes are hard to find.

So many dishes are very expensive!

"State banquets are large and luxurious in all countries. I wish to use the most precious ingredients in the world to demonstrate the hospitality of a great country! Tell everyone that we are a country of etiquette! At the same time, we also show our country's national strength from the side, tell everyone Our national fortune is prosperous! People dare not bully easily."

The emperor nodded: "That's it!"

No country lord is willing 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!

This is the way of hospitality, and it is also the way of the world!

However, between countries, there are more things that need to be considered.

"Your Majesty, don't get tired of eating fine food! The most important thing is that the food is delicious, and the guests will feel at ease after eating delicious food! Right?"

"It's natural!" The emperor nodded.
