Chapter 278: Why are New Year’s buns so popular? 【Requested】!!
This day of the Tang New Year, called Yuan Day, is a time for rest for three days before and after, and the entire court will have a seven-day holiday to let everyone relax and relax.
The Qin Mansion began to display lanterns in the middle of the night, all in accordance with Qin Song’s requirements, the red lanterns were wrapped in red silk, and the whole yard was hung everywhere, at this time, the couplet only had a rudimentary form, that is, the so-called peach rune, which directly made Qin Song deny.
So many rooms in the house, so many people, sprinkled with gold dust on red paper, writing couplets.
The emperor’s strawberry room is written with lush leaves, the pigsty is full of fat pigs, and then the six animals are prosperous, and even the carriage is pasted with happiness to go to work and go home safely.
As soon as the emperor was interested, he even wrote dozens of lucky words, and pasted them everywhere, and the whole courtyard instantly became festive.
Everyone started cleaning early in the morning, and then Li Yuan came to,… Everyone knelt and kowtowed to the New Year, Li Yuan had won a lot of money recently, and with a wave of his hand, each person was rewarded with five guineas.
He also gave New Year greetings to Fu Bo and Xiang Bo, and each of them received the usual reward, and the next person ran into the house with copper money, and began to take out the window flowers and began to buy his own room.
After the last pilgrimage meeting, all the officials entered the rest stage, and Qin Song’s business seemed to be subsumed, with hundreds of drawers of buns every day, and the sales amount was neither high nor low.
But today is a little different, the bun shops are all open, and dozens of tables are full of people, all of them are officials who have reached the grade, dragging their families to eat buns in the store.
These officials are on the invitation list of the palace banquet, and the wife and children naturally carry glory, but the banquet is not held until the evening, and you have to eat during the day, although the little shopkeeper is more expensive here, but I have to admit that if you just eat buns, the Tang is properly the first place.
It’s more expensive, who doesn’t eat something good for the New Year? As a result, all the maids in the family went into battle and began to make buns.
The young master went to the palace and prepared an official banquet for His Majesty and the maiden, this is a great honor, he is in the shop, do not dare to make any mistakes, don’t cause trouble to the young master.
These maids and housekeepers do not pay much, and they will get six guineas just for the reward, and who will be happy in exchange for it.
Uncle Pan and Aunt Pan each have six dollars, and the two old men just look at each other, and they haven’t done anything but enjoy happiness for a while. Smash it and get so much money?
“When Zhuangzi is covered, let’s go to Zhuangzi, the days here are comfortable, but I always feel that I eat and drink for nothing, not steadfast, son.”
In the Shangshi Bureau, all departments were in place, and under the command of Qin Song, they all began intense work.
There are too many people, the scale of the first banquet of Zhenguan this time has nearly a thousand participants, officials, ladies, children, one by one into the palace, these days the pastries are higher than the hill, but let them eat almost half down.
“Lord Steward, the mother ordered that those yogurt be eaten by those children.”
Why does Qin Song make yogurt, this thing is too easy, you can make dozens of cylinders in two days, as long as the temperature is right, how much as you want. As for fresh milk and hemp, Chang’an City has basically been swept away.
Qin Song was holding the list and constantly hooking something: “Go over there and get it, don’t walk around.” ”
“Supervisor Qin, what happened to the pastries that Niangniang ordered to prepare for the official’s wife? Also, some cream. If that’s not enough, look at the purchase. ”
Qin Song said with a smile: “I’ve been busy with these things in the past few days, how can it not be enough, tell the mother, don’t worry, all kinds of food lists are in her hands, what you want, enough.” ”
Liu Shangshi rushed over and said, “Chief Qin, the dishes on this list have all been cut, take a look, what else do you need?” ”
Qin Song took the thick list and compared them one by one, and each dish could not be sloppy, which was not only related to the success of the first banquet of Zhenguan, but also related to Qin Song’s ability, the first chef of the Tang Dynasty, he couldn’t afford to lose that person.
“Well, it should be fine. Tell everyone to put all the main ingredients and ingredients in order, and when you start cooking, try not to walk back and forth, if you touch those things, the dish will be ruined.
Thirty-six dishes, in case something else happens, need another dish to make up, are they all ready? ”
“Don’t worry, the chief steward is ready. These days of busyness, but all for today. ”
Qin Song nodded: “In the evening, according to Your Majesty’s standards, set up a few tables for the emperor.” Otherwise, if something bad happens, you and I can’t afford it.”
“Yes, the lowly office knows. By the way, the tables and chairs in the palace are made according to the quantity, if it is not enough, you have to go to the adult’s house to move some. ”
“If you move at will, your home can be emptied, as long as something goes wrong elsewhere in the palace.”
The person from the Shang Food Bureau came over and said, “Lord Steward, the plate for the first course is ready. ”
Good fellow, the large round plate with bean green glaze, with a diameter of one meter and five, was discarded several when firing, and finally succeeded in firing two, and the two people had a little difficulty carrying the plate.
“Put it in the kitchen, this first course needs to be made by myself.”
In the side hall of the Lezheng Hall, Li Er ate wine and chatted with several people, talking about these appetizers, and couldn’t help but smile: “That stinky boy’s craft is just speechless.” This ordinary appetizer is so exquisitely made. ”
Xiao Li said with a smile: “The palace banquet in previous years was like that, if you can’t eat enough, you can’t say it, the taste is not much better, today’s meal, the old minister is still looking forward to it.” ”
Fang Xuanling said with a smile: “Chen is also looking forward to it, just looking at the sky, he won’t be able to eat it for a while, haha.” ”
Du Ruhan coughed and nodded: “The courtier’s body was originally raised at home, and when I think of this meal, I can’t stay at home, so I came to ask His Majesty for some wine before that.” ”
Li Er sighed and said: “Let’s eat and drink here, I just don’t know what happened to Changsun Wuji, alas ~ Shun is still sorry for him.” ”
Xiao Liyan said: “Your Majesty doesn’t have to be like this, a courtier should have the duty of a courtier, and the status of Lord Changsun is there, and he doesn’t dare to do anything about Luo Yi.” ”
As soon as the words fell, a person came in the side hall and hugged his fist and smiled: “Lords, congratulations on the extension of the new Shoulu at the beginning of Fuqing.” ”
Li Er hurriedly beckoned: “Wei Zheng!” Wei Zheng is back, fast, fast seat beside Shu. ”
Wei Zheng sorted out his clothes and kowtowed to Li Erjie: “Your Majesty, Fuyan New Day, celebrating birthday without borders.” ”
“Okay, hurry up, Xuan Ling help him.”
Li Er hurriedly moved to the side, made room for Wei Zheng to come out, and took Wei Zheng’s hand to let him sit down: “This trip to Shandong, I’m tired.” ”
Wei Zheng’s eyes were a little red: “Your Majesty, the courtier rushed back immediately after receiving the oracle, and when he arrived at home, he learned that His Majesty had brought the old mother into the palace, and the maiden personally accompanied, so gracious, the courtier ~~woo~~ thanked His Majesty.” Don’t let the old mother live alone. ”
Li Er took Wei Zheng’s hand and said: “Xuan Cheng Mo wants this, the Great Tang rules the country with filial piety, your mother is my mother, you are not at home, this great day, how can Shu let his old man celebrate the New Year alone.” I can go and ask my mother for peace. ”
Wei Zheng wiped his tears and nodded: “Go, the parents of many ministers around the mother.” The mother sat beside the mother. ”
Li Er nodded: “We men, we are careless, I think about bringing my wife and children close to the palace to play for a day, who ever thought that Guanyin had drawn up a list of old people.” Come to Xuancheng, quickly have a drink, and talk to Shu, how is Shandong? ”
