The third feature, which is the biggest feature of the entire banquet, is that all the non-spicy dishes will feel delicious in your mouth! Especially the last two soups are simply addictive!
So the final result was that less than ten people swept away the dishes on the table, and everyone lay stretched out on their seats and groaned! At this time, these talents realized that they seemed to have lost their composure!
At this time, a middle-aged man touched his beard sheepishly and said with a smile: "This Shiweizhai dish is beyond my expectation. I accidentally ate too much!"
He laughed at himself so unanimously, and others also expressed that they had eaten their fill. He really lost the honorable man's face! Someone else said: "I have never seen many of today's dishes. They are probably newly developed, right?"
"Yes, I guess those cooks have put in a lot of effort! But I've never heard of their names before. Why are they suddenly so capable?"
"No need to ask, it must be the Liu family's secret recipe!"
"If you say that the dishes are delicious, it is definitely due to the secret recipe! But the emergence of many new dishes is not just a matter of the secret recipe! How about it? Brother Liu will explain it to everyone!"
Father Liu laughed and said, "This new dish is naturally the work of the chef! But, as Brother Li said, making delicious dishes naturally depends on the secret recipe!"
The middle-aged man who spoke before said: "Old Liu, you can't keep such a good thing to yourself!"
Father Liu raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course! I forgot what you said, the secret sauces for each family have been prepared. When you leave, just ask your servants to go directly to the counter to get them! In addition, with you You can also take the VIP card you mentioned with you!"
"Brother Liu is loyal and indeed a good friend!"
Everyone was naturally ecstatic when they heard that they could get the secret sauce passed down by the Liu family! Maybe someone among them is trying to figure out the secret recipe! But how could Liu Haojia leave such an obvious loophole for them? He had been on guard against them for a long time!
Not to mention that after the sea intestines were carefully ground, they were so finely chopped that it was impossible to recognize what they were! And he also added the powder of another thing to the sea intestine powder, that is bamboo fungus!
Dictyophora fungus is actually just an ordinary fungus, and its taste is ordinary. But it has a characteristic that once it encounters something containing monosodium glutamate, it will amplify the taste dozens of times! Therefore, Liu Haojia ground the bamboo fungus and bamboo shoots into powder and mixed it with sea intestine powder in a ratio of 1:20, so it is one of the best native condiments!
When making the seasoning, Liu Haojia and others ground the sea intestines and bamboo fungus again and again until they were so fine that they couldn't be any finer. When they were mixed together, even gods wouldn't be able to recognize them! Unless they have modern inspection methods, just take your time and guess!
After the nobles finished their meal, they each took the seasoning packets and left with satisfaction. After seeing off these people, Liu's father, who was also overstuffed, staggered to the second floor holding on to the handrail of the stairs. He saw Liu Haojia sitting in an empty private room listening to the performance on the stage, looking at him shaking his head. To be intoxicated!
At this time, there was a female musician on the stage playing the Yao Qin, her voice was as soft as flowing water, so sweet and beautiful! This female musician is about thirty years old. Although her figure is still graceful, she already has thin crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
Father Liu walked over and asked, "Xiaoer, are there many people eating at lunch today?"
Liu Haojia stood up and helped Liu's father sit down. He pointed to the surrounding area and said, "Look, there are only three tables of people on the second floor. The first floor is better, there are about five or six tables of people!"
Father Liu frowned immediately after hearing this and said, "Why are there so few? Is the price too high?"
Liu Haojia said nonchalantly: "This is the first day we are open, so it is normal for there to be fewer people! When the reputation of Shiweizhai spreads in the future, there will naturally be more people!"
Father Liu thought about it and thought it made sense, and said, "Then you stay here, I want to go home and rest for a while. I drank a little too much at noon today!"
After he got up, Liu Haojia naturally wanted to get up and see him off, but Liu's father took two steps and turned back and said, "Are these musicians from the Jiaofang Department? You'd better arrange for someone to guard here, just in case someone gets drunk and rudely disturbs the musicians. Stop it!"
Liu Haojia nodded and said: "Understood, I will make arrangements later. Our family has already reached an agreement with the Jiaofang Secretary, and the amount of money that should be given to us is not large at all. If the guest gives a reward, it belongs to the musician, and our family will only take a commission according to the rules. !”
Father Liu said: "I'm actually not worried about someone harming the people in the Jiaofang Division. I'm mainly worried that the musicians and dancers invited from outside will be disturbed by the guests! They are all poor people, so we should help if we can!" "
Liu Hao's family naturally nodded in agreement. In fact, it was only in the past few days that he understood what Jiaofangsi was about? In the past, he always thought that the Department of Education and Visits was a government-run brothel, but in fact, that was not the case at all!
Jiaofangsi was actually the ritual and music organization of the Ming Dynasty. Its main responsibility was to be in charge of national rituals and music. The main personnel were musicians and musicians. Jingfei was a government-run brothel as most people understood it. As for official prostitutes, they were indeed under the jurisdiction of the Jiaofang Division, but they were not his main responsibilities.
Jiaofang began in the Tang Dynasty. The Jiaofang was upgraded to a music department in Jin Dynasty. The name Jiaofangsi began in the Yuan Dynasty. The real establishment of Jiaofangsi was in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Jiaofangsi actually only existed in the Ming Dynasty as a formal official institution.
There are a lot of records of "Jiaofangsi" in "Records of the Ming Dynasty", but they basically set up "music and dance" in some major ceremonies. Therefore, Jiaofangsi officially replaced Taichang and became the core of a generation of ritual and music institutions.
What really accommodated a certain number of official prostitutes were institutions or places such as Fule Yuan, Li Chun Yuan, Sixteenth Floor, Goulan Washe, etc., although they were also affiliated with the Jiaofang Division. The official prostitutes in these institutions or places rarely come from the wives and daughters of unofficial criminals.
For example, Fule Yuan was first established in Hongwu. In fact, it was not mainly a place to accommodate official prostitutes, but a place for musicians to live.
As for the sixteenth floor, there are more than ten restaurants built by Zhu Yuanzhang in Nanjing during the Hongwu period to "accommodate the comings and goings of singing girls". Therefore, the sixteen hugs are directly linked to the official prostitute system in the early Ming Dynasty.
There are also Goulan and Washe, which are mainly places for the musicians of the teaching studio to perform dramas and dramas, and there are also some singing girls. After Yongle moved the capital, Beijing also had hook bars. This kind of place was more prosperous in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, but declined quickly after the Ming Dynasty.
So in general, the Ming Dynasty had the Jiaofangsi as the core and the music system as the basis. The capital also established Fule Yuan as the residence of the musicians, built a sixteenth floor to facilitate the singing and drinking of the singers, and erected hook rails to prepare for the music. In addition, there are also corresponding teaching halls, music halls and restaurants from the capital to the local areas.
