By the 1990s, the country had become very prosperous.
Because of Xie Feng, the carrier of the black technology system, the living standards in this world in the 1990s were equivalent to those in the 2000s in the parallel world.
In terms of technology, it far surpasses other countries and has become a veritable overlord of the East.
Now, the country feels that it can compete with other major powers, so it decided to invite heads of state or leaders from all over the world to attend the National Day in 1999.
While celebrating the 50th anniversary of the founding of their country, they also let them see their new weapons and new look.
Originally, the country’s father wanted to use a battle to tell the world how strong China’s combat effectiveness is.
Unfortunately, they waited for a long time but never got this opportunity.
The border was so quiet that there was no chance to take action.
So in the end they decided to prove themselves with a grand military parade.
China has not been able to enjoy free meals in recent years, and its international status has gradually increased.
Now that the country has taken action, everyone is giving him face.
And not only official people came, but also many unofficial people, who heard that China is now completely different from what it used to be, came to inspect and visit.
So Beijing was very lively in 1999, and you could meet several foreigners as soon as you went out.
However, all this excitement had nothing to do with the Ji family. On the contrary, because of this matter, all the Ji family members were busy.
Except for Gu Hanqiu and Ji Heng, all the members of the Ji family are soldiers. How could they stay out of such a big thing?
Especially Ji Yingfeng, as the second-in-command of the military, he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to go to the toilet.
Later, he also recruited his unemployed old father Ji Shouguo to serve as a soldier to help him.
Not to mention Ji Xun and Ji Mingzhu. Although they were not in the same unit, their units had to participate in the military parade and were busy training, so they didn't even have time to go home.
Ji Heng and Gu Hanqiu were not idle either.
Logically speaking, one of them is a family member and the other is a behind-the-scenes worker, so the military parade should have nothing to do with them. Why are they so busy?
It’s all because Gu Hanqiu has superb cooking skills.
With such a big country, it's impossible for it to just invite people from other countries to watch a military parade, right?
Other activities should also be arranged!
On the night before the military parade, China prepared a state banquet for heads of state and leaders from various countries, allowing people from other countries to experience the charm of Chinese cuisine.
As for why the banquet was held the day before?
That's because the country's father was afraid that they would have no appetite to eat after participating in the military parade.
When it comes to cooking, Gu Hanqiu is recognized as a culinary god by both the State Guest House and Ziyuan chefs.
So it would be strange if she could escape.
Ji Yingfeng is now the second-in-command of the military, and Gu Hanqiu is also a top figure in the upper class of China because of her husband's status.
If she doesn't want to go, no one can force her.
But the Great Elder had come to invite her personally, so Gu Hanqiu couldn't help but give him face.
Following Ji Yingfeng, Gu Hanqiu also started to get busy.
Ji Hengfa became the most idle person in the family.
After getting married and having children, Ji Heng's obsession with his mother not only did not decrease, but became worse.
Seeing his mother busy selecting ingredients, vegetables and people every day, he volunteered to follow behind his mother to help.
China's food culture is so vast that it is impossible to put all of it on the state banquet table, so the country can only select the best.
Finally, the most representative Manchu-Han Banquet was chosen as the main dish of the state banquet.
The father of the country is not here to show off. The Manchu-Han banquet has a total of 108 dishes, and not a single one is missing.
If we say one hundred and eight, then there are one hundred and eight.
Gu Hanqiu did not make these 108 dishes alone. She only picked 20 dishes to cook and distributed the remaining 88 dishes to others.
Why did the Great Elder come to invite her?
It’s because he’s impressed by her cooking skills. It’s impossible that Gu Hanqiu would just make one dish, right?
Isn’t this just a waste of the Great Elder’s efforts?
What made Gu Hanqiu feel fortunate was that she only needed to be responsible for selecting ingredients and cooking, and other things were taken care of by other people.
Besides, she has a big son to help her, so she is not particularly busy.
wrong!
She is very busy too!
She is busy looking for ingredients all over the country!
The local climate and soil nurture the local people, and similarly, the local climate and soil nurture the food that is produced.
This state banquet was very grand, and leaders from almost all countries came.
From the great elders to the common people, no one wants to be disrespectful in front of other countries. What they eat, drink, play and live in must be the best.
Gu Hanqiu didn’t know about other aspects, but when it came to food, she would definitely use all her strength to let those foreigners see what real Chinese cuisine was.
Moreover, the higher-ups have also requested that the chefs of this state banquet must give their all, not seeking to be the best, but only to be better.
Originally, Gu Hanqiu had no plans to go out to look for food, as she had nothing in her space.
You can see that other state banquet chefs are flying all over the country to find the best ingredients for this purpose.
Gu Hanqiu couldn't be different, so he had to be like everyone else.
After seeing everyone's passion and seriousness for cooking, Gu Hanqiu also felt that it was a bit unfair for him to take out the ingredients from the space.
Another point is that Gu Hanqiu doesn't want to give good things away to others.
Now, even when the Great Elder came to visit, she didn't use the food in the space to entertain him, let alone feed it to those foreigners, which was even more impossible.
Compared with other chefs, Gu Hanqiu's journey to find ingredients is simply too simple.
