A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot Chapter 746

 Chapter 746 This is called top-level specifications!

"Forty sets of silverware were ordered. Each set includes two silver hot water pots, 24 covered silver pots, 6 small silver pots, 10 silver dinner plates without lids, 4 silver pots, 6 silver covered bowls, and matching Silver chiseled flower bowl cover, 2 silver spoons, 12 silver soup spoons, and 12 silver chopsticks.

Each set of silverware weighs about 3,500 grams, and the purchase cost is 21,900 yuan per set.

 After the recording ends tomorrow, these silverwares will be put up for auction on the official platform, and all proceeds from the auction will be put into the charity fund to be used to provide charity lunches to primary and secondary schools in corresponding poverty-stricken areas.

In addition, there are mahogany Feilong banquet boxes and mahogany matching boxes. The manufacturer has already made them. There are 18 sets in total. Our colleagues have already sent them by air and they can be picked up tonight..."

Hao Libao sat behind Li Yi and was confused as the person in charge of purchasing reported to Wang Tian the status of the tableware transportation.

 Finally, he couldn't help but raise his hand and pat Li Yi's shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "What are the flying dragon banquet boxes and mahogany boxes he mentioned?"

“It's a box for snacks and fruits, and a pair of boxes for soups and meals.”

Li Yi explained in a low voice: "Tomorrow there will be an auspicious plate on every table, and five green apples, red dates, chestnuts, and Mopan persimmons will be placed in the Feilong Banquet Box, which represents the five blessings of peace, early birth, and everything goes well.

 In addition, we will also have a game of placing late-night snacks, and we will also use the flying dragon banquet box.

 It means placing candies, dairy products, fresh fruits, dried fruits, and candied fruits in the Feilong Banquet Box to see which guest has the best display.

 Paired box is a wooden box divided into two compartments. The two boxes are combined into one, which means that they form a pair, which means auspiciousness.

This is specially used to hold soups and meals, because soups and meals are generally hot. If you use this pair of boxes to hold them, you don't have to worry about them being hot, and it's more auspicious. "

 After Li Yi finished explaining, the person in charge of purchasing on the other side also reported the accounts to Wang Tian.

Seeing this, Li Yi immediately added: "Remember to arrange for someone to fetch the spring water from Yuquan Mountain tomorrow. Remember to fetch it once before sunrise and once after sunrise, and label it.

 In addition, let me talk about the transfer banquet issue again, and I will do some hard work for the sisters tomorrow.

 The banquet is to allow guests to eat dishes that are out of reach without getting up.

 The order of serving the banquet is to start from the arms first, and the soup meal is served last, so we start from the soup meal and go in order..."

Hearing what Li Yi said, Wang Tian smiled and joked: "I guess they can't sit still at all, especially those girls. They must have started serving as a buffet before the banquet started."

Li Yi also laughed, this is indeed a very likely situation.

“We'll see when the time comes. The effect of the show is the guest's business. We just have to do what we need to do.”

Li Yi smiled and said: "Other links are too complicated, so just omit them all. It is the transfer of the banquet that requires all the sisters to do some work."

 There were girls from the makeup team and the props team present, and they all joked after hearing this: "You all want to be the emperor and queen, why are we the maids of honor? No, we also want to be queens."

“That is, everyone is equal, and this is no longer the ancient times.”

Li Yi raised his hand and said with a smile: "As long as you can get enough props and costumes, you can do whatever you want, okay?"

 They were joking and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

 Hao Libao, who was in the rear, seemed to be experiencing turbulent waves in his heart.

He didn't expect that this [Dragon and Phoenix Banquet] had so many details besides the dishes.

 Recalling that when he first arrived in the morning, he was still picking over the cutlery and napkins. At this time, he only felt that his cheeks were burning.

Compared with the details Li Yi mentioned, the details he mentioned about heating tableware and folding napkins are not worth mentioning at all.

 When he looked at Li Yi again, his eyes became more complicated.

Why is Li Yi so proficient in making these arrangements in the front hall?

The standards of the State Guesthouse are already the highest in the country, but compared with the set of rules Li Yi mentioned, they really pale into insignificance.

However, what he didn't know was that the rules of the [Dragon and Phoenix Banquet] that Li Yi talked about were the banquet rules that had been evolved to the extreme through the continuous changes of feudal emperors for thousands of years. They were the ultimate form of serving people. Although Li Yi has omitted countless unequal rules, such as kowtowing, shouting auspicious slogans, etc., just showing these few is enough to calm everyone.

Compared with this set of royal standards, the Western set of cutlery and forks with red wine on the plate is really no match.

Looking at Li Yi arranging tomorrow's work one by one and clarifying the requirements for each link, Hao Libao secretly decided that he would bring the front office manager with him tomorrow to study hard.

This is called top-level specifications!

 A meeting ended at eleven o'clock in the evening. Hao Libao originally wanted to go back early, but he insisted on staying with him until now.

While the staff was packing up, Li Yi went to the kitchen to check the medicine bag in the freezer.

 There were soup buckets in the freezer, filled with tap water, and the surface had already condensed into ice.

 At the mouth of the bucket, there are bamboo sticks horizontally with white gauze medicine packages tied on them, hanging above the water.

Hao Libao also followed him back to the kitchen.

 Seeing the medicine package in the bucket in the freezer, Hao Libao asked, "What is this?"

 “The raw materials for making Tusu wine.”

Li Yi replied casually, took the gauze in his hand, and wrapped all the gaps in the freezer.

 “What kind of wine is Tusu wine?”

Hao Libao searched for this term in his memory and asked doubtfully: "Do you want to drink it tomorrow?"

"right."

After closing the gap in the freezer, Li Yicai wiped his hands and explained: "Tusu wine is the wine of the year. It is drunk during the Chinese New Year to avoid the plague.

Tusu is a kind of broad-leaf grass. Before the Jin Dynasty, many people used it to build thatched huts for living.

 Tusu wine was brewed in such a house, so it was called Tusu wine.

　　【Dragon and Phoenix Banquet】It is the New Year's Eve dinner. After eating, you have to watch the New Year's Eve, and after midnight, you have to drink Tusu wine.

This is the tradition of the Han people. Isn't it written in Wang Anshi's "Yuan Ri"?

 The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. Thousands of households always replace old talismans with new peaches.

 So in ancient times, people would drink some Tusu wine on New Year's Eve to ward off evil spirits and dispel plague, just like drinking realgar wine on the Dragon Boat Festival. "

 “Is there such a wine?”

Hao Libao was a little surprised.

 Based on his experience, he had never heard of this kind of wine.

“Of course we do. We eat rice dumplings on the Dragon Boat Festival, mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and drink Tusu wine on the Spring Festival. These are all traditions.”

Li Yi smiled: "However, the rice dumplings and moon cakes have been handed down, but the tradition of drinking Tusu wine has been marginalized. Now this tradition only exists in some small places in the south, and it has completely disappeared in the north."

Hearing this, Hao Libao couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

 He didn't even know about such an important custom, which shows that it is indeed dying out.

After thinking about it, he pointed to the medicine bag in the freezer and asked Li Yi, "Can you teach me how to make this wine?"

Li Yi heard this, but did not answer. Instead, he pondered for a moment before asking: "Do you want to learn this wine and put it on the menu of the State Guesthouse?"
