Prince Jin walked in, looking noble and with an elegant smile on his face.
"No need to be polite."
"I am here today at the invitation of Prefect Xiao to attend the banquet. You don't have to be restrained."
The patriarchs of the big families present had the most contact with Prince Jin, so their attitudes were relatively natural and not too restrained.
The heads of small and medium-sized families and their children were a little nervous.
At this time, all the people invited to the banquet had arrived, and Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo walked in from the door.
Then King Yi and his companions came in from the back yard and through a side door.
Liang Yujun looked at Liang Yulin and said with a fake smile: "The emperor's brother is here too!"
"My brother is here, so how could I not be here..."
Almost everyone present knew that King Yi had come to North City, but not many people had seen him.
Now seeing King Yi, who was dressed in a white brocade robe and was extraordinarily handsome and elegant, he was stunned.
Everyone says that King Yi is good-looking. When I saw him today, he is indeed very handsome.
Among the people present, only Xiao Hanzheng's appearance could be comparable to King Yi, and the others were all outdone.
Everyone saluted King Yi again.
Liang Yulin smiled elegantly and gently, "No need to be polite, everyone."
He then looked at Liang Yujun and said, "Brother Emperor, let's take the plates and choose the delicious food and serve it up."
Liang Yujun had just heard Shi Qingluo introduce what a buffet is, and nodded: "Okay!"
So the two of them went together to get plates and choose dishes.
Liang Yulin seemed to be more accustomed to it. He often went to the kitchen to help Kong Yuelan, washing vegetables and serving dishes.
Looks relaxed and at ease.
Liang Yujun carried the plate and picked up the food himself. He was not used to it at first.
After all, he had never carried a plate by himself, and usually there were maids serving the dishes when he ate.
While Liang Yulin was picking up the dishes, he waved to Shi Qingluo, "Qingluo, come and introduce the characteristics of these dishes to us."
He did this to show his closeness to his future daughter-in-law, and also to let her introduce the dishes and give the butcher a good slap in the face.
Shi Qingluo walked over with a generous smile, "Okay!"
"Here are the cold dishes, there are thirty-eight of them, this is pork with garlic paste, three shredded vegetables in cold salad..."
"These are the hot dishes. There are 68 dishes in total. They are Red Plum Pearl Fragrance, Buddha's Hand Golden Roll, Flower Mushroom Duck Feet..."
"This is dessert, there are ..."
Because she was the one who set the menu, came up with the recipes, and was the main force in food tasting, she was very familiar with every dish.
Not only are the names introduced, but some special dishes will also be highlighted.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Shi Qingluo really made this banquet a lot of fun.
Before, Shi Qingluo said that Mrs. Butcher's 38-dish banquet was not very good, and they were wondering how many more dishes she could come up with.
Who would have thought that not only did they come up with hundreds of dishes, but they were also divided into different categories.
The key is almost always unknown to them.
Shi Qingluo then introduced more than twenty spicy dishes.
"This is a vegetable called chili that my master left behind. The dish made from it may taste a bit spicy when you first eat it, but if you like this flavor, it will only become more and more delicious as you eat it."
"If you really can't eat spicy food, don't force yourself."
Spicy rabbit head, spicy chicken, mapo tofu, dry pot shrimp, spicy and sour crucian carp, etc., are guaranteed to be a great treat for those who like spicy food.
The people around Shi Qingluo are quite receptive to chili peppers, so she thinks that many people attending the banquet today will like it.
Liang Yulin chuckled and said, "I prefer dishes made with chili peppers. They really have a unique flavor."
Liang Yujun had no choice but to accept it, "Okay, then I'll have a taste too."
"There are also roast suckling pig, roast squab, roast whole lamb, roast quail and sliced roast duck upstairs."
"There will be people who specialize in cutting and slicing it, and those who want to try it can go and get it."
Shi Qingluo pointed to a table by the wall and said, "That's the sauce table. You can choose the sauce according to your favorite flavor."
"If there is anything you are not clear about, please ask the maid."
She added: "In that case, I won't disturb you all from eating."
She and Xiao Hanzheng took the two princes, who had already picked up some dishes and were carrying plates, upstairs.
The heads of those aristocratic families also followed upstairs.
Many of the heads of small and medium-sized families or the children of noble families chose to sit downstairs.
The reason why Shi Qingluo arranged seats upstairs and downstairs was to separate those with too high status from those with too low status.
The main reason is that we are worried that everyone will feel uncomfortable if they eat together. It will be more comfortable if they eat upstairs and downstairs.
Of course, if he has a low status and still wants to get close to King Jin and others, then he will be the one who is embarrassed.
There are also some dishes upstairs, but they are mainly desserts and juices.
Then there is a special table at the front where three people who are good at knife skills are slicing roast duck.
There was no roast duck in Daliang at the moment, so someone went to get a plate of it, and after drinking the dipping sauce brought by the maid, he was immediately conquered by the delicious taste.
There is also roasted suckling pig, which is rosy in color, crispy in skin and tender in meat, fragrant but not greasy.
The roasted quail meat is tender and even the bones are roasted crispy. It is crispy and delicious when you bite it.
Prince Jin's personal attendant went and brought a plate and placed it in front of the two princes.
The two of them had the highest status, so they sat at a table alone, and no one else dared to join them.
Liang Yujun tasted them one by one and said, "It tastes good."
The recipe that Shi Qingluo had given before made the restaurant opened by Concubine Hua earn a lot of money.
He didn't expect that she could make so many dishes. The key is that each dish has a different taste. Even someone like him who doesn't usually indulge in food didn't put down his chopsticks.
Liang Yulin chuckled and said, "That's right, don't you see whose daughter-in-law is hosting the banquet?"
Liang Yujun: “…” It was the first time he realized that his younger brother could be so thick-skinned.
He raised an eyebrow, "Whose daughter-in-law is this?"
Liang Yulin pointed at himself and said, "Of course it's me."
These words did not make Liang Yujun look unhappy, but they made Xiao Yuanshi, who was sitting in the corner, look unhappy.
This shameless King Yi hasn't even married Kong Yuelan yet, so how can Shi Qingluo be his daughter-in-law?
This time, Xiao Hanzheng invited all the noble families and officials in North City to the banquet. As the deputy governor, Xiao Yuanshi was naturally invited as well.
As for whether he would come or not, that was up to Xiao Yuanshi.
Ever since Xiao Yuanshi was put in a sack, Xiao Hanzheng had ruined his plans several times. In addition, King Yi came to North City, so he has not bothered Kong Yuelan recently.
But after receiving the invitation, he still came.
I want to see whether the bad daughter-in-law will be embarrassed and humiliated by the Tu family.
However, seeing Shi Qingluo’s innovative buffet, and seeing so many dishes, and seeing almost everyone eating so hard that they couldn’t even raise their heads, it can be proved that these dishes are not only good-looking, but also delicious.
Even he couldn't say it was bad while eating it.
He knew it. Judging from the dishes at the banquet, Shi Qingluo not only did not make a fool of himself, but also severely slapped Mrs. Butcher in the face.
