The Shen family banquet was very busy that day.
Mrs. Shen took Xu Zhimo with her to make arrangements.
This kind of banquet was a piece of cake for Madam Shen. As the mistress of the house for so many years, she had several banquets every year and was very familiar with them.
Besides, there are so many people in the mansion, just make arrangements.
The housekeepers and the maids in charge were all trained to do things according to Madam Shen's requirements.
Yan Bao’s canned yellow peaches were delivered. One can can be divided into four bowls, which is not too much.
The bowl for the canned yellow peaches is made of fine white porcelain selected by Yan Bao. It would be great if there was a bowl for canning yellow peaches to be used on doors, in the shape of a yogurt cup.
It’s too late now, so I can only use white porcelain, which looks better.
On the day of the banquet, guests came one after another to attend the "Shen Family Yellow Peach Canned Food Promotion Conference", which is officially known as the First Snow Banquet.
It’s actually a new product launch conference.
Mrs. Shen was measured in her actions, warm and generous, and invited with a smile.
Xu Zhimo also helped with the reception. She had a bright and polite smile, and her graceful demeanor was impeccable.
Yan Bao was not idle either. She stood beside Mrs. Shen and was beaming with joy at these gods of wealth.
Seeing the cute, adorable Yan Bao with red lips, white teeth, big eyes and chubby face, everyone wanted to have a child as cute as him.
Although he is a mute.
Maybe they are lucky and their daughter is not mute!
Yan Bao was pinched on the face by several ladies who really liked her. Yan Bao was very tactful and even kissed them.
There is no way, they are fragrant and soft, and look good. Yan Bao, the Yan dog, couldn't help it. Anyway, they also kissed themselves, so they didn't suffer any loss.
Madam Shen looked at Yan Bao who was surrounded by other ladies, either being pulled, hugged, or being fed. If she hadn't heard her inner voice, Madam Shen would have thought that she was smiling so happily because she liked these ladies!
After listening to their inner voice, I realized that she just likes the money in their pockets.
Yan Bao: [The hairpins on Madam Li's head are so beautiful, they must have cost a lot of money. Wouldn't it be too much to buy ten jars?]
Madam Zhao's bracelet is actually made of Ice Flower Jadeite. It's not cheap. Wouldn't it be too much to buy twenty jars of it?
Mrs. Wang's buttons are all made of pearls. She's so rich, so buying thirty jars shouldn't be a problem.
As she was muttering, a lady with a hand full of jeweled rings pinched Yan Bao's little face, deforming it. Yan Bao stared at the noble lady with wide eyes: "You pinched my face, you have to pay at least fifty jars, otherwise you won't be worthy of your ring with emerald, turquoise, and pigeon blood ruby."
Madam Shen almost held her forehead with her hand. What kind of daughter did she give birth to?
Are you too obsessed with money?
Speaking of which, the Shen family is not poor. Why does Yan Bao like money so much?
Also like to make money!
After a few pleasantries and a quick chat, we were about the same time.
It was cold, and the Shen family had a floor heater turned on, specifically for winter banquets. Everyone sat and talked in the warm room, not feeling cold, but rather a bit warm. They took off their cloaks and gave them to the maids.
The banquet began, and the food was basically the same, exquisite and beautiful, the ingredients were not cheap, anyway, they were all common at banquets.
Basically, those who came to the banquet were not there for the food. They came on behalf of their husbands. The husbands served the court, and the social interactions of the ladies in the harem were closely related to the previous dynasty.
Most of the people invited today have no hostile relationship with Prime Minister Shen.
Those sworn enemies are not worthy of coming to the banquet.
The dishes came one after another, but no one ate much.
The fire in the earth was very strong today, and soon the ladies all felt hot.
When they had almost finished eating, the maids brought a dessert - canned yellow peaches.
Many people are curious: "What is this?"
"It smells like peaches."
"How can there be peaches at this time? They are only available in summer."
A wife began to show her affection: "Yes, yes, speaking of which, I want to eat peaches. I love peaches the most. My husband planted several peach trees for me. Every summer I can eat the peaches planted by my husband himself!"
Many people almost rolled their eyes. Who doesn’t have a husband?
What's so rare about peaches? When summer peaches come out, you don't know how many you can buy with one tael of silver.
Seeing that everyone was curious, Mrs. Shen smiled and explained: "This is a new can of food. You guessed it right. It is a peach, or a yellow peach. Madam who can eat peaches can try it."
Yan Bao looked at Madam Shen: [Mother, don’t forget to avoid certain foods!]
Madam Shen almost forgot, but she remembered it after hearing Yan Bao’s inner voice: “If any lady can’t eat peaches, then don’t eat them. I’m afraid she will be allergic and feel unwell.”
"Madam, if you can't eat peaches, you can try stewed bird's nest, it tastes good too." Madam Shen smiled. She knew of two people who were allergic to peaches and had rashes on their bodies after eating them.
Another person started breathing rapidly and it was said that he almost died as a child. After that, he never dared to eat peaches again for fear of death.
"Where did Madam Shen get the peaches at this time of year?" a lady asked curiously.
Yan Bao almost gave this lady a thumbs up: [Thank you, Madam Zhao, you are really good at making a comedic performance. If I hadn't known it wasn't arranged by me, I would have thought it was a shill!]
Madam Shen looked at the lady with a smile: “I opened a shop in the capital, and bought it from a shop called Jun Xiji. It is said that business has been good for several days since it opened. I thought everyone had eaten it.”
"Jun Xiji?"
“Never heard of it.”
"I'll ask someone to go and take a look someday. If it tastes good, we'll buy a few cans. My husband likes to eat peaches!" This lady knows how to show her love. Others pamper the ladies, but she pampers her husband.
