Chapter 239 If there is no challenge, how can you prove that this young master is unique?
Xiao Rou finished speaking.
Xiao Yun'er looked at Qin Yu and continued: "By the way, husband, Mr. Su, the Minister of Rites, told my father, do you promise that the Thousand Old Man's Banquet will only cost five thousand taels of silver?"
Xiao Rou also looked at him with widened beautiful eyes.
Today, when they heard that Qin Yu could host a banquet for a thousand old men with only five thousand taels of silver, they all felt a sense of disbelief.
Don't talk about the two of them.
Everyone who heard about this incident was amazed.
This is simply an impossible task.
Qin Yu's face was indifferent, "Yes, if there is no challenge, how can you prove that this young master is unique?"
Xiao Rou: "..."
Xiao Yun'er: "..."
Qin Yu smiled and said, "I'm joking with you. The main reason is that what Mr. Su said makes sense. The people of the Wei Dynasty are still in dire straits, and internal and external troubles are still serious. If the Thousand Old Banquet is too extravagant, it will be incompatible with ours."
The idea is completely different."
"If the money used for the banquet is not much, then no one can fault it. Although I am more afraid of trouble, if I do this, I must try my best to do it well. This is my principle."
"Don't worry, my husband knows what he's doing and will never pretend to be fat and pretend to be fat."
Xiao Yun'er nodded, "If your husband says this, I will feel relieved. My father also told me and my sister today that if your husband is really in trouble, he will discuss it with Mr. Su."
Xiao Rou echoed: "Yes, husband, it's hard enough for you to be the person in charge of this Thousand Old Man's Banquet. We must not let husband be wronged again."
I still feel very sorry for Qin Yu, Xiao Yun'er and Xiao Rou.
Although Qin Yu is usually quite dissolute, everything he does seriously is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Xiao Yun'er and Xiao Rou both admire and admire Qin Yu.
Qin Yu drank hot tea and said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry, I have a sense of propriety."
Afterwards, Xiao Yun'er changed Qin Yu's clothes and prepared to go to bed.
Qin Yu is now playing music and singing every day and having supper every night.
He thought that he would have to get up early to exercise from now on, otherwise his body and bones would not be able to bear it.
...
Longsheng three years, December 27th.
There are still three days until New Year's Eve.
The Wei Emperor's plan to hold a banquet for thousands of old men on New Year's Eve has swept Jinling City.
Under the auspices of Su Maode, the Minister of Rites, and Zuo Quan, the Minister of Rites.
With the cooperation of the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the various counties and counties near Jinling City, they are inviting elderly people over sixty years old with healthy bones and strong bones into the palace.
The Emperor of Wei wanted to have fun with the people, get close to the people, and listen to the people's voices, which was unanimously praised by the people of Wei.
As the person in charge of Qiansou Banquet, Qin Yu is naturally very busy.
After the fireworks issue was settled, it was handed over to Gu Tao.
Qin Yu went to the imperial dining room without stopping to prepare the dishes for the Qiansou Banquet.
Since this banquet cannot be extravagant or extravagant, it must be done as well as possible with limited money.
If it’s summer, there are a lot of ingredients available.
In this winter of the Wei Dynasty, Qin Yu really needed to spend a lot of effort to prepare the most sumptuous New Year's Eve banquet with the least amount of money.
Fortunately, Qin Yu is confident.
Imperial dining room.
Qin Yu was taking stock of the ingredients and thinking about the recipe.
Xiao Nan and Shen Binglan followed him.
"Brother-in-law, you...can you still cook?"
Xiao Nan followed Qin Yu and asked blankly.
Qin Yu glanced at him, "On your first day with me? Have you never eaten the meat I grilled?"
Xiao Nan said with a smile: "I have eaten it, of course I have. The meat grilled by my brother-in-law is excellent, but... your money is limited. If you make it too complicated, you will definitely not have enough money."
Qin Yu nodded casually, "So, the dishes should not be too complicated, and they should be delicious and unconventional. This is still a bit particular."
"We don't have to worry about wine. Shao Daozi has already brewed a lot of it. We don't have to worry about fruit either. You have enough watermelon in the greenhouse."
Xiao Nan: "..."
He knew that the fate of his watermelons was decided at this moment.
Shen Binglan raised her eyebrows slightly, she wanted to see what tricks Qin Yu could pull off.
Qin Yu wandered around the imperial dining room.
Suddenly, he saw the sesame seeds in the imperial kitchen and the charcoal fire in the stove.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Yu turned his head, looked at Xiao Nan and Shen Binglan, and asked, "Have you ever eaten sesame paste?"
Xiao Nan and Shen Binglan were stunned for a moment, then shook their heads.
Qin Yu's eyes brightened and he asked again: "You haven't had hot pot before, right?"
Xiao Nan and Shen Binglan were stunned again and shook their heads again.
"good."
Qin Yu clapped his hands together, with a smile in his eyes, "In that case, it's settled, let's have hot pot at Qiansou Banquet. It's economical, delicious, not expensive, and not tacky."
As long as there is nothing in this era, once Qin Yu takes it out, he will definitely come out on top.
Maybe, there will be a hot pot trend in Dawei in the future.
Xiao Nan frowned and asked doubtfully: "Hot pot? Then... what is that?"
Shen Binglan also looked at Qin Yu in confusion.
She couldn't figure out why Qin Yu could always say something that was obviously in line with common sense and came out casually, but it was only something he could understand.
Qin Yu smiled calmly, "I can't explain it in one or two sentences. You will know after you eat it."
With that said, he hurriedly found pen and ink, drew a sketch of the copper hot pot, and gave it to Xiao Nan, "Go to the Ministry of Industry and ask them to build this thing, and make it according to the six hundred."
Xiao Nan frowned slightly, but didn't say anything else, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Xiao Nan never refuted what Qin Yu told him.
It is estimated that the biggest expense this time is to make a copper hot pot.
Immediately afterwards.
Qin Yu bent over the desk and started writing down the ingredients.
Shen Binglan's beautiful eyes were also full of confusion. She couldn't understand why Qin Yu made so many pots.
Is it possible that the old people should be asked to cook by themselves at the banquet?
That......
That's too ridiculous.
But she didn't ask any questions and just stayed with Qin Yu quietly.
There are not many ingredients that Wei can eat, and even less in winter. There are no chili peppers, so Qin Yu can only try to simplify it as much as possible.
There are no peanuts, but there are sesame seeds, but tahini has not appeared yet.
Therefore, Qin Yu had to make the sesame paste himself.
After Qin Yu made the list, he handed it over to Zhou Quan, the manager of the imperial kitchen, and asked him to prepare the ingredients.
Next, Qin Yu will personally make sesame paste.
If there is no sesame sauce, the copper pot shabu-shabu has no soul at all.
