Chapter 172 Preparing for Dinner



And just after that the method of throttling has been solved.

In this case, it may be necessary to increase the expenses of the palace a little and see in which ways the palace can make some money.

After all, if we only rely on Chu Mobai's salary to maintain the income of the palace, it would be far from enough.

It was precisely because of this that Qian Ruoyu wanted to increase the income of the palace, but thinking this way might not be a good idea now.

After all, Chu Mobai hasn't completely trusted her yet. Even if she helped Chu Mobai earn this money, Chu Mobai would most likely take it back directly into the palace treasury, and it might not even be certain whether it would have anything to do with Qian Ruoyu at that time.

After all, this damn man actually sold all of Qian Ruoyu's dowry.

This is what really made Qian Ruoyu angry.

Although the real dowry had been replaced, Qian Ruoyu was still angry in her heart. After all, that was the dowry she got from her marriage, and she was sold by him just like that.

Afterwards, Qian Ruoyu also returned to Yueya Pavilion. After bringing Yan'er back with her, she asked Yan'er to continue to be busy with a few maids.

Qian Ruoyu herself went to bed early, and asked them to rest as well after they finished everything.

Because tomorrow is the busiest time of the day, we must not make any mistakes.

The next morning, as soon as it was light, Qian Ruoyu jumped up from the bed and quickly called Yan'er and four maids.

At this time, the entire palace was decorated with lights and all the big red lanterns were hung up, and longevity lamps were lit.

Everyone in the palace was busy at this time.

As soon as I walked out of Yueya Pavilion, I saw a pair of servants hurriedly carrying two red buckets and heading towards the door.

Qian Ruoyu did not disturb them and just let them go on their own.

Qian Ruoyu came to the kitchen first.

After all, the kitchen is where Qian Ruoyu is in charge, and Qian Ruoyu doesn't want any accidents to happen here.

As soon as she arrived at the kitchen, Qian Ruoyu smelled a delicious aroma. The fragrance was everywhere, and almost the entire kitchen was filled with the aromas of various vegetables, melons and fruits.

On both sides of the road in front of the kitchen, there were nearly a hundred pots of fruits and vegetables.

These fruits and vegetables have now been processed and carved with the most exquisite craftsmanship. The carved animals, flowers, etc. are so lifelike that they do not look like fruits at all.

But Qian Ruoyu knew that these were just appetizers, used to welcome guests.

After Qian Ruoyu entered the kitchen, he saw that it was filled with hundreds of pots of various ingredients. Half of these ingredients had been processed and were just waiting for the next step of processing.

As soon as Fatty Wang saw Qian Ruoyu coming in, he grinned and ran over happily.

Although he had a big belly, he was very agile in his movements.

As soon as he came in front of Qian Ruoyu, he immediately spoke respectfully.

"Your Highness, most of the ingredients have been prepared and processed. When the feast officially begins, all the dishes will be served immediately. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

Hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu felt extremely relieved.

After all, it was Fatty Wang who said it himself, so Qian Ruoyu naturally knew it now. It seemed that she didn't need to be busy in the kitchen anymore.

There were originally more than thirty people in the kitchen, and with the more than twenty young men brought by Qian Ruoyu, the lineup now had nearly sixty people.

As well as those people who came from the Big Red Building, it was only then that the old lady's birthday banquet in the palace could be carried out perfectly.

Qian Ruoyu was thankful that the thirty young men did not announce a plan to increase revenue and cut expenditure before they came, otherwise, even she would not be able to protect them.

Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly and said to Fatty Wang.

"By the way, have you all eaten?"

After hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, Fatty Wang immediately shook his head.

"This... the masters haven't eaten yet, how dare we servants eat first?"

But Qian Ruoyu said directly.

"Go, make some fried rice. Make a big pot of fried rice that will be enough for nearly a hundred people to eat."

Hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, Fatty Wang immediately pulled the chefs from the nearby big red buildings to start cooking.

All the stoves were turned on at full power. After Fatty Wang and others prepared the oil pan, several servants nearby poured several large pots of rice into the earthen stove.

Fatty Wang led the chefs from the Big Red Building and started cooking like crazy.

After all, he has been a chef for many years, so Fatty Wang's arms are extremely strong. He holds the big spoon with one hand, and a large amount of fried rice is flying in the pot, but none of the fried rice falls out of the pot.

At this time, the entire kitchen was filled with the fragrant smell of Yangzhou fried rice.

When she smelled this scent, even Qian Ruoyu felt a little moved and even swallowed her saliva.

But Yan'er, who was beside Qian Ruoyu, kept holding her stomach, and it sounded like her stomach was growling.

Qian Ruoyu looked at the sky and time and knew that now was not the official time for the old lady's birthday banquet.

But the reason why Fatty Wang was asked to prepare fried rice for more than a hundred people was to allow everyone in the kitchen to have a full meal, and also to allow the servants who came to help to have a few more portions.

After all, no one knew how many hours it would take for everyone to eat. There were even other performances to be performed in the middle, which would take more than three hours. How could people not eat during this time? If they fainted, it would be even more troublesome.

In order to ensure the normal operation of the banquet, Qian Ruoyu could only ensure that the servants had enough energy, and of course, he had to feed them well.

Right after that, Fatty Wang hurriedly ran to Qian Ruoyu and said to her.

"Madam Wang Fei, the fried rice you need is ready. We have fried five pots of fried rice in total, which should be enough for more than a hundred people. Is this an appetizer for those guests?"

Qian Ruoyu smiled and shook her head, then pulled Xiaohong, who was paddling nearby, over.

Xiaohong was frightened when Qian Ruoyu pulled her like that, and thought Qian Ruoyu knew that she was slacking off.

"My lady, I will never dare to do that again..."

As Xiaohong spoke, she gently covered her ears, fearing that she would be punished by Qian Ruoyu.

Qian Ruoyu said with a smile.

"Who wants to punish you? Just shout and call everyone in the kitchen over, tell them to bring their bowls and prepare to eat!"

When Xiaohong heard Qian Ruoyu say this, she nodded without thinking and started singing.

"Let's prepare dinner!"
