I accidentally entered the courtyard and became Qin Huairu

The Manchu-Han Banquet is a palace feast during the Qing Dynasty, which combines the essence of Manchu and Han cuisine. It has a wide variety of dishes and is a treasure of traditional Chinese food culture.

The Manchu-Han Banquet usually has at least 108 dishes, including salty and sweet dishes, meat and vegetarian dishes. It includes all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, and not only has the characteristics of court dishes, but also incorporates local flavors. Its ingredients are rich, including precious ingredients such as bird's nests, shark fins, sea cucumbers, as well as various meats, seafood, vegetables, etc. The cooking methods are diverse, such as roasting, boiling, frying, steaming, etc., and the color, aroma, taste and shape are all excellent.

The Manchu-Han Banquet is divided into six banquets, namely: the Banquet for Relatives, the Banquet for Courtiers, the Banquet for the Longevity of the Emperor, the Banquet for the Thousand Old Men, the Banquet for the Nine Whites and the Festival Banquet. Each banquet has its own unique characteristics and dishes.

The banquet for the vassal kings was a banquet held by the emperor to entertain princes and nobles. The dishes were exquisite and elegant, showing the royal style.

The court banquet was a banquet held by the emperor to entertain his ministers. It was a grand occasion with rich dishes.

The Wanshou Banquet is a banquet held to celebrate the emperor's birthday, and usually includes various dishes that symbolize longevity.

The Banquet for a Thousand Elders is a banquet held by the emperor to entertain centenarians, embodying the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly.

The Nine White Banquet is a tribute banquet for Mongolian princes and nobles, which mainly consists of nine white dishes, symbolizing purity and auspiciousness.

Festival banquets are banquets held according to different festivals and seasons. The dishes will be adjusted according to seasonal ingredients and festival characteristics.

The Manchu-Han Banquet is not only a sumptuous banquet, but also a heritage and display of culture.

Qin Huairu remembered it when Xu Huizhen mentioned it.

Isn’t the purpose of celebrating the New Year to bring good luck and happiness?

I would never make a Manchu-Han banquet.

In this era that advocates diligence and thrift, three years for new, three years for old, and three years for mending.

If Qin Huairu dares to do this, then she will be criticized!

However, you can still try to make some unimportant and delicious dishes in the Manchu Han Banquet.

Qin Huairu immediately thought of a solution.

After chatting with Xu Huizhen for a while, he hung up the phone.

After returning to her lounge, Qin Huairu took a deep breath and picked up a pen to write the menu. She thought for a moment and quickly wrote down a series of dishes: Four Joy Meatballs, Steamed Lamb Chops, Chestnut Chicken, Pot-roasted Carp, Stewed Three Fresh Vegetables, Songhua Tripe, Deep-fried Pork Tenderloin, Assorted Sausage, Spicy Butter Rolls, Rice-stuffed Duck, Spicy Tendon and Fried Sandan with Coriander, Crystal Pork Knuckle, etc.!

Qin Huairu racked her brains and finally came up with these sixteen dishes. Although these dishes are very common in the market and there is nothing special about them, they are not too abrupt. After writing the menu, she took the list to find Chef Yang.

"Master Yang, please prepare the ingredients according to this list!" Qin Huairu handed the list to Master Yang.

When Master Yang took the order and looked at it, he was so greedy that his mouth was watering. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Master Qin, these are all delicious dishes!"

However, he immediately said with difficulty: "But Master Qin, so many dishes require a lot of raw materials, and there will probably be more than a hundred people coming to dine. How much material should we prepare?"

Qin Huairu thought for a moment, then answered decisively: "Don't worry about it, just ask the purchasing department to buy it!"

Then she added: "As for whether we can buy enough ingredients, that is no longer a problem we need to worry about!" After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Master Yang alone staring at the menu in his hand in a daze.

Qin Huairu returned to her lounge alone and began to think about the performance.

This is a big deal, she needs to think about it carefully.

Except for cooking at noon, Qin Huairu locked herself in the lounge. No one looked for her, and she didn't come out.

He didn't show up until after get off work.

When Qin Huairu got home from get off work and had just finished cooking, Yan Bugui came uninvited with his wife and Yan Jiecheng and his wife.

Qin Huairu was very surprised. How could the old Yan family come to the house when they were having dinner, as if they had calculated the time? Could it be that they came because of the smell of the food? However, she was really surprised today. Yan Bugui, who was usually stingy, actually came with something for the first time. Although there was not much, only two pounds of apples and a few cakes, it was enough for her to brag about it in the neighborhood for a while!

"Huai Ru, the New Year is almost here!" Yan Bugui smiled awkwardly and explained, "You have taken good care of our family over the past year. We came here to apologize to you for the stupid things that Jie Cheng and his wife did a few days ago, and to thank you for your care for our family!"

Qin Huairu started to wonder what happened to Yan Bugui today. She was really worried that this third uncle was plotting something again. He had done this kind of thing many times. Yan Bugui seemed to see through her thoughts. After the embarrassment, he glared at Yan Jiecheng fiercely.

"You idiot, why don't you come over here and apologize to Sister Qin!" Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng hurried forward to apologize to Qin Huairu, "Sister Qin, I am young and ignorant. You are a generous person, so please don't hold it against me."

Qin Huairu was even more panicked now. She felt that the father and son must have come prepared and were planning to set a trap for her together!

"Come on, come on, there's no need to use this. Just tell me what's going on!" Qin Huairu said impatiently, "We're waiting for dinner! You guys are here, we..." She almost said the words "I can't eat anymore".

Even though Yan Bugui saw through everything, he pretended to be confused and sat down at the table.

"Hey Huairu, in our courtyard, your family and Shazhu's family have the best food!"

"With just this table of food, we may not even be able to eat it during the Chinese New Year!"

"If there really is such a table, I can eat from the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month to the 15th day of the first lunar month!"

Qin Huairu thought to herself, "Hey! This Third Master Yan is really disgusting!"

"Uncle, if you guys are fine, if you just want to resolve that little thing, I won't take it to heart at all!"

"Besides, we are all neighbors. It's too polite of you to be so polite!"

Yan Bugui turned his head and glanced at Yan Jiecheng and his wife.

"Did you hear what your sister Qin said? Why don't you thank her right away!"

When Yan Jiecheng and the other man heard this, they hurriedly thanked Qin Huairu.

"Didn't I tell you, there's no need to do this!" Qin Huairu had to stop him anyway.

Seeing Qin Huairu being so sincere, Yan Bugui nodded to Yan Jiecheng and his wife.

Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng understood what Qin Huairu meant and immediately said it.

"Sister Qin, take your time eating. We're going back first!" After saying that, he took his wife and left.

He did leave, but Yan Bugui did not leave. He sat steadily on the chair, upright, as if saying: If you don't treat me to a meal today, it means you don't know etiquette, and don't know how to respect the elderly and care for the younger generation!

Qin Huairu really wanted to drive him away, but after thinking about it, she gave up. There was no need for that!

I'm just gritting my teeth and not giving in. I want to see what you can do to me!

Thinking this in her mind, Qin Huairu sat down opposite Yan Bugui.

"Uncle, do you have anything else to do?"

Yan Bugui raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile: "Something's going on, it's really something serious!"

"Is that so? I heard that your factory is planning to hold a New Year's dinner. Is that true?"

Qin Huairu thought to herself that Yan Bugui was too well-informed. He actually knew what happened today that very evening.

"Yes, it's true." Qin Huairu nodded and said.

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "That's great! Huairu, if that's the case, Third Uncle won't hide it from you. To be honest, I'm afraid our family will have a hard time this year!"

"Okay, Third Uncle, stop talking! You'd better stop as soon as possible!" Qin Huairu said as she pointed in the direction of the door.

"See? That's the gate. Go back to your own house and think about what to do. We are not well off, and we don't have any extra money to lend you."

"I'm afraid I can't help you with anything?"
