89, house banquet

The old man kept his eyes away from the book: "Don't worry, you'll go. At worst, you can light a few lights at night, it won't be a problem."

The sir is really there. My mother is waiting for me to go home for dinner, wuwuwu.

Xiaoxiao took out the second test paper, glanced at it, and cursed Tang Zhanyan without realizing it. The two-meow didn't learn Ji Ran at all, which made her memorize the whole chapter of Ji Ran.

Both the Analects of Confucius and Mencius were tested, but they did not mention Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism. This move was very popular.

The subsequent title mentioned "interest-free coins", which is also related to Ji Ranxue. Xiaoxiao hurriedly quoted the sentences he recited and wrote: Gold and silver are not strange goods, they cannot be lived in. If you want to move money, you should not underestimate the profit.

There was another historical question about "The Reign of Wen and Jing", but Xiaoxiao still had some vague impressions. He hurriedly picked up the ones he remembered: light taxes and levies, rest with the people, and transformed the people with virtue, etc. He also tried his best to enrich the content, and listed examples. The answers were thin, but it was only like this at the age of twelve.

There was still the last question left, Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a bamboo cup from the small table to drink water. The water was already warm and cool, and it was light. I don’t know what kind of tea it was, but it was very delicious. It was quite humane to be able to prepare tea during the exam.

"Are you finished answering?" The old man did not leave the book's eyes.

"The last question remains."

The old man looked at it and smiled: "Don't underestimate the ability to be a housekeeper, see the big one from the small, and the whole country is the whole country."

Oh, it turns out that the last question was a home-based question, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Xie's teachings."

I tidied up my dress and started to sit down to answer questions again. The question seemed simple, but it was said that a large mansion would hold a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet on August 16th, and invited about 300 guests. As the mistress of the family, what preparations should be made in advance.

Xiaoxiao did not start writing rashly, and thought about it carefully. He had no experience in staying at home. He only learned about these things through some literary works. It took only a few days to return to Kyoto and he had never held a big banquet at home. He only occasionally heard some words from his grandmother...

Xiaoxiao wrote and painted on the straw paper, and made a lot of trouble. He just thought it was a banquet at home. The old lady gave the matter to the three bedrooms, and she had to arrange it if she didn't make any arrangements. After thinking about it carefully all the way, she had a rough idea in her mind and began to try to write on the straw paper.

Let’s make a summary first. The mansion has a large population and can be arranged in a coordinated manner from top to bottom so that there can be fewer mistakes.

What the mistress needs to do is to communicate with her superiors, listen to the opinions of the elders in the family, and which guests are intended to invite, which one is the key, which one is accompanying the guests, which one is the only one who can invite one person alone, and which one must invite all the family to come... After these are settled, and then you will send a post to invite. Any banquet has a purpose, and it will not be just a matter of lively.

After discussing with the elders, you must make a budget and make clear division of labor between servants and implement the responsibilities to the person. For the division of labor between servants, you can first formulate a roster for this family dinner and arrange positions in groups, such as: the ones responsible for the family servants; the ones responsible for the management of the warehouse; the ones responsible for the banquet and catering; the ones responsible for the welcome and delivery, the ones responsible for the reception, the ones responsible for the reception, the ones responsible for the reception, the ones responsible for the reception, the ones responsible for the meal, the ones responsible for the errands, the ones responsible for the cleaning of the table and the ones responsible for the cleaning of the table and the ones responsible for the dispatch; the ones responsible for the arrangement of those who are ready to be dispatched at any time. If there is not enough staff and people need to be supported, the ones will be arranged...

Each group has a large group leader, and the mistress only talks with a few large group leaders. Once something goes wrong, the group leader will first accept the punishment.

Each group can also divide responsibilities and arrange group leaders. These are written by the group leader and submitted to the mistress for approval. For example, since the flower and tree group is a banquet for chrysanthemums, it must be mainly chrysanthemums. The Jiuhua Mountains and Jiuhua Towers can be managed by several people, and these people don’t have to take care of other matters. The flowers and trees in various places, including bamboo fences, chrysanthemums, grapes on the racks, lotus in the pond, or gold and osmanthus beside the pavilion, are also divided into people. Some people are going to pick a lotus pod and soak a osmanthus, and some people are waiting for them at any time.

For example, in the banquet and catering group, there are dedicated people who cook in the kitchen, dedicated people who cook snacks, dedicated people who hold banquets and incense, and responsible people who serve dishes and wine. These people will be assigned to the group leader and return to the group leader if they have something to do. If the group leader cannot decide, report to the group leader.

With the roster, each person has a brand name. When the person is in the card, a famous brand hanging place will be set up for each position, and a special person will be supervised. When you are on duty, you will hang the brand name at the door. Once you have taken the card, you need to explain where you are going to the person who is in charge of the brand name so that you can find the person immediately and not catch it temporarily. The key is that you are dedicated to the job. You cannot instruct the girl responsible for sweeping to pick up the vase, and you cannot instruct the servant responsible for picking up the car to pass on messages and run errands. If there is not enough staff, you can only arrange people from the temporary dispatch team to take over.

In order to make the banquet unique, the banquet venues can be diversified. Three hundred guests can be divided into 10 people, which means thirty tables. Several of them can be set in the flower hall, several tables be set next to Jiuhua Mountain, several tables on the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and several tables are set in the waterside pavilion... In August, the heat of summer has not yet subsided, so it can be cooler to separate the guests, and the guests are also free.

Prepare gift boxes when sending guests, make your own mooncakes, osmanthus cakes and other snacks, and your own unique gifts. The things are not expensive, but the key is to make guests have a thought.

Be prepared for a dinner party for guests. I believe those who are familiar with each other will leave a dinner party, reserve several places to enjoy the moon and smell the osmanthus to prepare for a dinner party, and also pack up some rooms to prepare for a nightclub.

The masters in the family also have division of labor, but this is not something that the mistress can do. They need to discuss with the whole family. When the man and the woman are separated, or the older and young people are separated, which master should communicate in advance which guests to greet. As for what other projects each person has, it will be decided by everyone. The old lady wants to play Ye Zi cards with several wives, the old lady plays chess with others, the male master wants to drink with friends, the young master thinks of a temporary poetry club, and the girls want to enjoy flowers and swing together. The manpower and material resources needed must be prepared in advance.

After the banquet, everyone needs to submit a work summary to the team leader. For example, the warehouse manager must record the recycling records every time they open and get things done. They must also remember how many times they ran to the day, how many things they did, what things they received and gave, and which guests they did... After the banquet, you must explain and record them to the team leader. If there is anything in the future, it will be easy to check the case.

Each team leader will submit the record to the group leader, and the group leader will summarize and submit the mistress.

The mistress herself also needs to have a summary record, and the property matters will be written in sections: how much money was spent on actually hosting a banquet, whether it was consistent with the budget, where it was saved if it was less than the budget, and where it was used if it exceeded the budget, it should be stated one by one; which arrangement is very popular and has a good start, and it can be used next time the banquet is held. Which arrangement has gone wrong, the reasons must be analyzed and the responsibility should be assigned to the person.

Xiaoxiao looked at the large pieces of straw paper he wrote, but the content was detailed, but it was still chaotic, and it was listed one by one in a category, clearly writing the main and the second, and then it was carefully copied onto the Tangyun bamboo paper.
