I was thinking wildly,
A slave ran in from the front hall,
shouted loudly,
"Who is Chef Liu Bancheng!"
I stood up and responded,
"I am!"
"Hello, Chef Liu Bancheng, my lord, please come to the front desk!"
What, going to the front desk again?
A few days ago, Chunfeng Jun, the younger brother of Queen Mother Renxian,
He once called me to go to the front desk to see the "upside down fish".
And now it is Mr. King Mu of Liang who asked me to go to the front desk,
Liu Bancheng's heart was in his throat.
Could it be that there is another "Mandarin Duck Incident"?
I wiped my hands quickly,
Immediately afterwards, he was led to the front hall by his slave.
The front hall upon entering is brightly lit up and down. It was the first time I saw such a scene among ancient people, and I was dazzled.
It can be described as a singing and dancing instrument, with lingering sounds, you laugh and I laugh, cups are changed, and the atmosphere is extremely warm.
Unexpectedly, a birthday banquet held for a minister during the Jin Dynasty turned into a grand celebration.
The guests attending the birthday banquet sang, drank and had fun.
As soon as I was brought into the hall, I was called over by a familiar voice on the high platform.
Plum Blossom is standing behind an adult.
No need to ask, this must be King Mu of Liang.
It is clear,
This adult is stout, not tall, and has a kind face.
This kind face is somewhat similar to Chunfeng-kun's kind face.
I wonder,
Maybe the ministers and senior officials all look so amiable on the outside, but I don't know what they will look like after choking their throats.
I walked to the stage cautiously and put my hands together to salute.
"Hello, sir, I am chef Liu Bancheng!"
The plum blossoms on the side immediately signaled me to propose a toast to you.
I immediately picked up the wine jar on the table and was about to step forward to pour the wine.
Lord Ying Yu motioned for me to fill it up for myself first.
Plum Blossom was directing from behind, "Quickly propose a toast to me. I wish you longevity and happiness!"
I had to obey the order, loudly repeated what Mei Hua said, bowed down and toasted,
Then he raised his neck and drank the "sour torrent" glass of wine.
King Liang Mu saw my painful expression while drinking,
Laughing loudly,
The voice was particularly cheerful, "Okay, okay, young man! Not bad, not bad!"
After the adults finished speaking,
He walked around from behind the table, took my hand and walked to the center of the hall, with Mei Hua following closely behind, holding a wine can.
King Liang Mu, who was standing in the center of the hall, began to high-five his hands, and then high-fived him again and again.
"Everyone, everyone, friends, distinguished guests, distinguished lords!"
"Please allow me to say something. Please allow me, Liang Zuo, to propose a toast!"
It turns out that King Mu of Liang was called Liang Zuo.
Mr. Liang Zuo shouted several times before the hall gradually became quiet in the noisy atmosphere.
Lord Liang Zuo turned around and asked me to fill up his glass.
Then he asked Liu Bancheng to fill up his cup.
Then let me pass the wine jar to the plum blossom behind me.
The Lord began to speak,
The sound is like a copper bell.
"My lords,
Today is a good day,
Dear distinguished guests,
Our Liang family is full of glory.
I wonder if you are satisfied with the dinner hosted by my family today? "
Master Liang spoke in a high tone.
The following echoed in unison,
"Delicious, satisfying, delicious, satisfying, extremely satisfying!"
Master Liang stopped everyone's interaction and said,
"Since it's delicious and satisfying, that's great. Let's raise a toast together. I wish everyone today good health and a long life!"
Everyone responded unanimously and drank it all in one gulp.
Then someone stood up and said,
"Sir Qi, to tell you the truth, attending your birthday banquet today will be an eye-opener!"
"I have been in the imperial court for so many years, and I have attended every state banquet, but I have never eaten as much and as good food as today!"
"Don't you all feel the same way as I do!"
Some people behind him responded together.
Mr. Liang Zuo was so happy at the response that he burst into laughter.
He turned around and asked me to fill up his wine glass.
"This dear friend said it well and said what I wanted to say!"
"Yes, we have been officials in the same dynasty for more than fifty years. It can be said that I have attended countless banquets and banquets.
But I have never been as satisfied as today, beyond my imagination. "
Everyone nodded.
Master Liang Zuo said again,
"Then I would like to ask if you all know why?"
"have no idea!"
Another cry!
"It's because I invited a master Liu Bancheng today!"
"24 birthday meals, 24 exquisite dishes, all made by this master!"
After saying that, he turned around and pulled me forward.
"Now, I propose that Master Liu have a drink with everyone!"
Respond below,
"Okay! Have a drink!"
I didn't expect that there would be a chance for him to appear at this moment.
The wine in his hand was shaken so much that it spilled out of the glass.
He wanted to refuse, but Mei Hua pushed him hard from behind.
Meihua's move caused everyone to laugh.
Meihua also apologized to everyone.
I was pushed to the front desk and stood in front of Mr. Liang Zuo.
I had no choice but to raise my glass high.
"Thank you for your support, my lords!"
“I don’t deserve to praise my cooking too much!”
"I am here to wish you good health, good food, and a long life!"
Everyone cheers! Drink together again.
At this time someone suggested again,
"Excuse me, Master Liu, what is your 'Giant Hand that Determines the Universe' made of? Can you tell us about it, or can you give us a live performance?"
I didn't expect guests to single out this dish to ask questions.
But this dish should never be talked about in public.
Because it is made from cow paws,
In Liang State, killing cows and eating beef would be a crime. An idea struck him and he blurted out,
"My lords, thank you for your consideration!"
"Because 'Giant Hands Determine the Universe', its ingredients are special and its processing technology is also very special.
If you want to try my 24 dishes again, then in one month, I will have a place to go, and I sincerely invite you to enjoy them. I will make and perform them live for you there! "
"At the same time, every adult here today who comes to my place to make a purchase can enjoy a free purchase in the first three months of opening.
After three months, you can enjoy a 20% discount. "Someone shouted below, what does 20% off mean?
I knew it was impossible for them to understand the concept of discounts, so I said,
"When you adults come to my place to dine, a dish should cost ten cents, but I only charge eight cents, so everyone can be satisfied!"
The whole audience cheered!
"Really, and that good thing, where is your place?"
I said, "My place is called 'Yangshengtang'. Everyone is welcome to visit and support me!"
At this time, Mr. Liang Zuo stepped forward and said,
"Everyone, everyone, we must remember what Master Liu said today, and we must support him, okay!"
Everyone applauded unanimously!
Plum Blossom pinched and kicked me from behind, but they didn't stop my marketing promotion.
Meihua really couldn't stand Liu Bancheng's unbridled speech.
Pulling me behind her, she stood in front of the stage.
"My lords, hello, my lords, I am the master of the Xiangshan Hall! Plum Blossom!"
"This Liu Bancheng is my head chef!"
"None of what he said just now counts!"
There was a roar of laughter from below.
"Why can't it count? A man must count what he says. We listen to Master Liu, not you!"
