The next day, the sun was particularly good.
Meihua took Liu Bancheng to the front hall to wait and welcome all the guests to dine.
At this time, the door of Xiangshan Hall had been cleaned very clean.
Gradually, diners came to Xiangshan Hall.
Some ride horses, some take cars, and some walk.
There are some wearing long coarse cloth clothes, and there are also some wearing official hats high and low.
People gathered in the Xiangshan Hall!
I simply cannot tell who is the official, who is the citizen, and who is the most powerful official? Whoever has a junior official position is noble and who is humble.
Only after entering the hall are status and levels distinguished.
When entering the lobby and entering the restaurant on the first floor to the left, all the diners have happy faces, are generous, full of energy, and have big smiles.
When meeting people around him, he is polite and nods to the slaves who greet guests. It seems that this group of people has a high level.
It can be seen that he is a well-educated, cultured and cultivated person.
The other group that split off in the lobby went upstairs along the stairs, which was a large part of the flow.
Some of their steps are fast and some are slow.
They walked fast, and some accidentally tripped and fell on the stairs, hitting their foreheads on the steps, and the people behind them laughed.
Fortunately, someone helped him up at this time.
He fell down and was helped up again. He looked embarrassed, but in an instant he quickly squeezed forward, fearing that he would be left behind by others while eating.
Needless to say, the restaurant on the first floor is very orderly.
The diners sat down in their accustomed seats, smiled and signaled their goodwill to the diners across from them, and then toasted each other and ate. There were musicians playing music on one side of the restaurant. A peaceful, elegant and comfortable dining atmosphere.
Meihua took me to the restaurant on the second floor.
Then go up a small staircase from the side of the restaurant on the second floor and arrive at the corridor on the second floor.
Looking down from the corridor, you can see the entire restaurant on the second floor.
The whole hall was crowded with people coming and going, and it was dark.
in my opinion,
This hall can accommodate 800 people for less than 1,000 people.
And they come and go as they please, eat enough, and go one after another, one after another, back and forth.
This made me sigh. I have never seen such a large dining scene.
There was no music or musicians on the second floor. In the crowded environment, even if there was music, it would be drowned out by the noise.
We came to the steamy back stove again. The chefs, men and women, are busy.
Some washed vegetables, some cut vegetables, some stir-fried vegetables, some carried vegetables, and some served dishes to the diners. They were so busy that everyone was sweating.
I am no stranger to such scenes. I lamented the chef industry.
In order for adults to have enough to eat, to have good meals, to live a better life for themselves, and to allow their wives and children to have good meals, they have to sacrifice the time they should spend eating. Eat well and cook well for others.
Meihua said, "The chefs have to wait until all the diners, even the last remaining diner, have finished eating before they have their own working meal!"
"And most of the working meals that chefs eat are leftovers from the diners, or extra from a poorly cooked dish."
"We have been living off the scraps of these diners for years, yet we still have to be so energetic, polite and diligent."
At this point, Meihua and I can really talk about it together, as if we are on the same front and on the same channel.
At this time, in my eyes, the plum blossoms are no longer as chubby, dumb, big, and self-interested as they were when I first registered.
On the contrary, I feel that this woman is quite feminine.
Every generation has its own way of playing.
After the death of the previous King of Liang, only a few queen mothers and slaves were very sad.
Others like Queen Mother Renxian's Ren family, as well as those with foreign surnames, such as Chen Fenglong, Yao Qi, and border general Ding Sheng, did not react much.
At this time, they were all busy making preparations for the newly succeeded King Liang Hui.
One king after another ascended the throne and died, and then ascended the throne and died again. Over the years, the people in the palace have experienced too much.
For example, the grandfather of King Hui of Liang did not ascend the throne until he was 56 years old. He died three days after he ascended the throne.
In this way, the harem staff would have to immediately replace the chefs for the newly succeeded king and the slaves and maids serving around him.
Because the newly arrived king must be provided with services according to the king’s service standards.
Service standards have been upgraded, and service personnel will also change.
The year before last, the newly appointed King Liang Hui brought his original team to the stage of his life. His Queen Xu Ji did not dance for a few days, but died again within three years.
The harem is about to replace another group of cooks and slaves.
Meihua is already very experienced in this regard.
Because these chefs and slaves were sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He was sent to the Heyang Palace of King Hui of Liang to serve, manage and govern the government.
So when King Hui of Liang succeeded to the throne, Meihua was very busy.
She was originally the head chef of Xiangshan Hall, but now it's a good thing. I'm not familiar with the situation when I first came here, so I can't take over immediately, so she can only shoulder the responsibility of the hall master and head chef.
He also had to squeeze out time to staff the Heyang Palace of King Hui of Liang. He got up early and stayed late, which made him lose weight.
I used to be used to looking chubby, but now that I am thin, it makes everyone feel unnatural.
I can't accept this contrast of a fat man becoming thin.
I wanted to reach out and help, but I didn’t know where to start.
Because I haven't gone through the seven days of the adaptation period, I can only follow it these days. I can only watch but not talk about it. I don't have the right to manage or control it yet.
Knowing that everyone is very busy these days, I can't sleep at all, so I get up before dawn.
There was no movement in the corridor.
The doors of each dormitory were ajar and there was no one inside, but the beds were in a mess. Shoes, socks, and quilts were piled everywhere.
I passed the small bridge from the garden and went straight to the kitchen.
There are many rockeries and lush trees along this road.
There was a path among the trees. I followed the path to the east side of the kitchen.
There were many foreign carriages blocking the door of the kitchen.
I saw Wang Bing and the round-faced chef organizing inspections two days ago.
The merchants who delivered the goods humbly accompanied them to weigh and weigh the goods.
Large baskets of cabbage, potatoes, large baskets of eggs, pork, and green onions were placed in piles along the stove wall.
. . . . . .
I know this should be the ingredient on the stove today.
Xiangshantang, where three thousand people dine, can see that eggs alone consume more than 300 kilograms a day.
For such a large purchase, Wang Bing and the chef with a square face came to inspect the goods, which shows that these two people holding two important positions are very important.
The slave who was following behind said,
The oval-faced Wang Bing is a warehouse keeper.
The square-faced one is called Rencheng, a buyer. The servant thought I didn’t know Rencheng.
The purchaser and custodian come together to inspect the ingredients, and there is no third party to supervise?
I shook my head,
"Nothing like that!"
