She also wrote a lot of recipes for her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to study, and also invited the royal chef brought by King Yi from the capital to join.
She had planted a lot of peppers in northern Xinjiang last year, but had not yet promoted the products.
This buffet is also an opportunity.
The Fang family’s previous largest shop had a large courtyard at the back.
This was also where the Fang family lived when they first started out. After they became prosperous, they rebuilt the current Fang Mansion and moved away from here.
So Shi Qingluo had the kitchen expanded and renovated again, and also added two ancient kiln baking rooms and an oven.
The bakery is used for baking cakes and roasting meat, and the oven is used for roasting duck.
There were no ovens at the time, so traditional dim sum was made by steaming, frying and baking.
Baking is done in a hanging oven, which is suitable for making moon cakes or baked cakes, but the egg tarts and cakes that Shi Qingluo wants to make are not suitable for this.
Only then was the baking house built.
Few people find delicious food difficult to resist, so she plans to hold a buffet in this shop every ten days or half a month.
You can also make money while promoting wine.
As for why it is held only once every ten days or half a month, it is of course for hunger marketing, and by the way, to improve the quality of the buffet.
Shi Qing had eaten at several very good Chinese buffets in modern times, so he knew how to decorate the restaurant.
He had a general idea of the dishes in his mind and drew up a menu, which he gave to the royal chef and his apprentice.
There are so many dishes to prepare for the buffet, and this royal chef and his apprentices are the main force.
Because he was worried about not having enough manpower, King Yi helped to find a few people with good cooking skills and clean backgrounds.
Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law just needed to help out. It was too tiring, and not only King Yi was reluctant to let them go, she was reluctant too.
Because there was a lot to prepare, the banquet was scheduled for six days later.
Shi Qingluo led people to decorate the wine shop and asked the chef to constantly taste the dishes in the kitchen. Many people received the news.
"I heard that Princess Fubao and Prefect Xiao are going to host a banquet for everyone in the Nanxi Winery on the main street."
"What's the point of hosting a banquet in a wine shop?"
"Isn't it just a matter of inviting everyone to have a drink and then calling it a day?"
"Then the recent news is very likely true. Lord Fubao will use the Fang family's wine to entertain everyone."
"If that's the case, it's going to be a huge loss of face."
"Do you think the Tu family will cause trouble?"
"That's for sure. If someone else's victory was taken away by someone else, they wouldn't be happy either."
"Although that's what they said, what the Tu family did to the Fang family was too rude."
"Hush, don't talk nonsense. If the two legitimate young masters of the Tu family find out, you'll be in trouble."
"Ahem, I didn't say anything just now, and you didn't hear it."
Also, because the banquet was to be held in a wine shop, this aroused everyone's curiosity even more.
Six days later.
The banquet is scheduled for noon, which means everyone is invited to have lunch.
Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng stood at the door to welcome the distinguished guests.
Those who were lower in status than Xiao Hanzheng were the first to arrive and also gave gifts.
Next come the middle and upper class families.
Before, Shi Qingluo sent people to attack the Zhu family.
When the head of the Zhu family found out about the stupid thing his wife had done, he became very angry.
Although he was unhappy, Shi Qingluo had his wife beaten in public and called his son a waste.
But he also knew why Shi Qingluo and his wife were so angry. After all, he knew exactly what kind of person his youngest son was.
Originally, he was planning to let his third son, who was born out of wedlock and had not yet married, marry Xiao Baili.
Who knew that his wife pretended to obey him but actually went against his will and replaced the baby with the younger son behind his back, and even mentioned it to Shi Qingluo, which offended him.
Even though he remembered that Shi Qing had embarrassed his wife, his family had something to ask the prefect Xiao Hanzheng for help, so he still gave face and brought his sons to the banquet.
As for Mrs. Zhu not coming, it was because she couldn't bring herself to do that.
Seeing the head of the Zhu family coming with his son, Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo both greeted them politely with a smile.
A moment later, the head of the Tu family also came with his wife and son.
Madam Tu took the initiative to greet him with a smile, as if she had never had any conflicts with Shi Qingluo.
Since others were so polite, Shi Qingluo naturally would not change his attitude in public, as that would make him look inferior.
So he received him with a smile and sent him inside.
As soon as the Tu family walked in, they smelled the fragrance of food.
Then I discovered that the spacious shop had been changed into something I had never seen before.
There are tables on both sides and in the middle, covered with elegant tablecloths.
On the table were white porcelain basins or plates of various sizes, containing dishes they had never seen before.
Then they saw that many people were holding plates and using tongs to put food on their plates, taking whatever they wanted to eat.
At the innermost part, there were many dining tables covered with tablecloths, and many people were already sitting there eating.
There were no dishes on the table, but there were several plates of food in front of each person.
Several people were wondering what this banquet was all about.
A waitress came up and introduced to them with a smile that this was a buffet.
There are hot foods, cold dishes, cakes, desserts, staple foods, barbecues, fruits and drinks.
There are dishes on the table, and there is also a special place to put plates. You can take the plates and choose the dishes you like.
There are different dishes upstairs and downstairs, so you can sit upstairs or downstairs.
After the maid's introduction, the head of the Tu family and his companions also understood what this banquet was about.
This was something they had never seen or heard of before.
After the maid left, several people walked over to take a look. The dishes on the table were very rich, and most of them were things they had never seen before.
They roughly estimated that there were hundreds of dishes downstairs alone.
Mrs. Butcher's nose was filled with the aroma and she couldn't help feeling hungry.
But his complexion was very bad, and he even felt like he had completely lost his appetite.
The truth was that Shi Qingluo had said before that her banquet was not good and the dishes were too bad, so she wanted to hold a banquet with a special and delicious menu.
She was very disdainful before, thinking that no matter how to hold a banquet, can she still hold a flower? But now she felt a little painful on her face.
At this moment, the head of the Zhu family was holding a plate and helping his son with food.
Upon seeing this, the head of the Tu family called out to him.
"You guys are eating it now?"
The head of the Zhu family knew that his wife had been used by Madam Tu before, so he disliked Madam Tu.
But he was from the same faction as Master Tu, so he was very polite.
"When these dishes are gone, new ones will be available, so there is no need to wait for the feast to start. Just take whatever you want."
He then couldn't help but say: "It tastes really good. Almost all the dishes here are the first time I have eaten them."
"The people from the big families are sitting up there. You guys can pick up some food on your plates and carry it upstairs."
Even if he disliked Shi Qingluo, he had to admit that this banquet was unprecedented.
Not only were these dishes varied, they also tasted really good. He was still hungry, so he said hello to the head of the Tu family and continued to get the dishes.
Although the head of the Tu family had a smile on his face, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. They came here today to slap Shi Qingluo in the face.
But judging from the novelty of the banquet and the large number of dishes, his wife was the one who was slapped in the face.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the people carrying the food looking towards the door and bowing, "Greetings, King Jin!"
The head of the Tu family and others immediately turned around and were shocked to see Prince Jin walking in. Why did this person come?
