Although I had heard of the famous name of the Manchu and Han banquet before, Hong Tianbao had never eaten it. At this time, when I entered the dining room of the Weir family, I was a little stunned.

This is a huge and empty dining room. In the middle is a round table made of blue crystal, which is the type that can be rotated. Above is a huge crystal chandelier, which is radiant and eye-catching. In fact, this turned out to be a long table made of gold, but it is not suitable for the full table of Manchu and Han, so I moved it away first.

There is also a larger round table with various gemstones next to it, full of dishes, probably no less than a hundred kinds, but each plate is not a lot, otherwise how could a table be placed?

Hong Tianbao still didn't know that the Manchu and Han banquets were all the banquets of the Manchu Qing court. They both had the characteristics of palace dishes and the essence of local flavors; highlighted the special flavors of Manchu cuisines, Chapter 420

The Manchu-Han full chess barbecue, hot pot and shabu are almost indispensable, and at the same time show the characteristics of Han cuisine, such as chopping, fried, stir-frying, sautéing, and roasting, which is actually the treasure and highest level of Chinese cuisine culture.

The Manchu and Han ches were originally a kind of full banquet made by Manchus and Han people during banquets held in the Qing Dynasty palace. The Manchu and Han ches were generally served at least 108 kinds (54 dishes in southern and 54 dishes in northern and northern ches). The Manchu and Han ches were salty and sweet, meat and vegetable, with a wide range of materials, fine ingredients, and all kinds of delicacies and sea flavors were included.

This unprecedentedly luxurious banquet is divided into six types: the Mongolian Prince Pan Banquet, the court minister Banquet, the birthday banquet of thousands of old men, the Jiubai Banquet and the festival banquet.

The most famous ones may be the Wanbao Banquet and the Qianshou Banquet.

The birthday banquet was the birthday banquet of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty and one of the grand banquets in the inner court. Empresses, princes, civil and military officials all took honor to celebrate their birthday ceremony. There were countless famous foods and delicacies in the past. If they were to have a birthday, the celebration would be even more grand and grand, and a special person was assigned to specialize in clothing, jewelry, decoration, music, dance and banquet. On the tenth day of the 20th year of the Guangxu period, Cixi's 60th birthday was issued on the 18th year of the Guangxu period. The banquet had begun more than a month before the birthday. Only in the past, the various glazes painted with the words "Fengsheng Wuwang" and auspicious and festive patterns were burned in Jiangxi. Chapter 420

The Manchu and Han chess bowls, plates, plates and other porcelains reached more than 29,170 pieces. The entire celebration consumed nearly 10 million taels of silver, which was unprecedented in the history of China.

The Banquet of Thousand Old Man began in the Kangxi period. It was prosperous during the Qianlong period and was the largest imperial banquet in the Qing palace with the largest number of banquets. In the 52nd year of the Kangxi period, the first grand banquet of Thousand Old Man was held in Yangchun Garden. Emperor Xuanye wrote a poem "Banquet of Thousand Old Man" and was named after the banquet. In the 50th year of Qianlong, the Banquet of Thousand Old Man was held in the Qianqing Palace. Three thousand people were held in the Qianqing Palace, and the Banquet of Thousand Old Man was selected as a 100-pair sentence. In the first month of the first year of Jiaqing, Thousand Old Man was held in the Huangji Hall of Ningshou Palace. Three thousand fifty-six people were invited to write poems of Thousand Old Man in the improvised poems of Thousand Old Man. Later generations called the Banquet of Thousand Old Man "a favorable and polite manners that have never been seen in the ages."

"Awesome! Can we finish eating so many dishes?" Hong Tianbao looked at it. Although there were many people in this group, there were nearly thirty people. Except for Hong Tianbao and Prince, these were the most core family members. But how can we deal with this table of dishes? If the little bully was present, there might be some suspense.

"Haha! This is the highest level of your Chinese cuisine culture. I have eaten it a few times before, and it is indeed amazing. Unfortunately, the chef here is not the top national chef. When I arrived in China, I had a meal made by your Chinese national chef, which is amazing." Vidoo said.

In fact, everyone has not understood that this Manchu and Han banquet is not a meal. The most authentic way to eat it is divided into three days.

Because Vidoo had eaten such a Manchu and Han banquet several times before, he was familiar with the etiquette that should be paid attention to during the period, and began to make people busy.

Don’t think that the West has such complicated etiquette for banquets and food. As a country of etiquette, China is no less weak than other countries in this regard.

The Manchu and Han ches are exquisitely ordered and elegant, forming a striking and unique style.

Before entering the table, serve two pairs of incense, tea and hand saucer; there are four fresh fruits, four dried fruits, four fruits and four candied fruits; after entering the table, serve cold dishes and hot stir-fry, and serve beets in turn.

"Come on! Everyone sit down! Today we don't care about too many rules, just eat with fullness. Everyone raise their glasses and chopsticks!" As a landlord, Vidoo still had to say some of the opening remarks. Hong Tianbao and the prince were both guests, so they were embarrassed to move their chopsticks first. Others could not be presumptuous when they saw the old patriarch present. Vidoo also found that Hong Tianbao had not officially experienced such a banquet, so he said this on purpose, so he would not lose face because he did not understand the etiquette in it.

Since there are good dishes, it should be served with fine wine. Seeing that Vidoo did not use the red wine they like, but used the Chinese national wine Maotai. He stopped him and said, "Since everyone is happy today, I will also take out the same good wine and let everyone taste it!"

Everyone stared at Hong Tianbao blankly. They recalled that Hong Tianbao seemed to be coming empty-handed, without even basic luggage such as clothes, so where did you get good wine? That's right? Vidoo had already made people work to make a few good sets of clothes.

Hong Tianbao knew what they were thinking, but now that he had boarded his boat, there was no need to hide it. Sooner or later they would know. He stretched out his right hand, opened his palm, and thought about it, and a wine jar appeared in his hand.

This move shocked these people again. One of the girls about 18 years old was more agile. He tilted his head and asked, "Is this magic?"

Hong Tianbao shook his head and said, "It's not magic, but a kind of space storage equipment. You should have heard of it. It's similar to the magic ring in your myth."

When everyone heard this, they all widened their eyes and finally swallowed.

"Haha! This is just a small equipment. You have to work hard to break through the so-called prince realm and be able to use it. Since you have decided to follow me, I will provide this equipment to you when you reach the level of use, provided that you have the strength, otherwise it will be a decoration for you." Hong Tianbao deliberately used this move, which was also a small purpose.

Everyone else's eyes lit up. Who doesn't want this legendary magic ring? Thinking of this, everyone was determined to practice hard.

Hong Tianbao took out five jars in a row and patted Kaifeng mud. The unique aroma of Lingjiu suddenly filled the entire dining room. Before everyone could drink, they could feel a refreshing feeling coming into their bodies. Everyone, including a few servants who were not good at drinking, were deeply intoxicated.

Hong Tianbao slowly poured spiritual wine into the high-legged glass, and the slightly viscous purple liquid.

Westerners are indeed much more particular about drinking than Easterners. In the eyes of others, it may be the so-called elegance, but in the eyes of Hong Tianbao, Sun Moba and others, that is a problem.

Think about it, I think it is the case. They can't pour too much wine, just one-half of it, and they will never be full like Chinese people. That's generous. Also, even the posture of catching the cup is like picking the bones. Hold the cup's feet with your big thumb, middle finger and index finger, and place your little finger on the bottom of the cup to fix it.

These Westerners who think they have drunk all the fine wines in the world now find their own shallowness. Compared with the so-called top wines, it is tantamount to adding a little dye and sugar to clean water.

After a long time, Vidoo was intoxicated and said, "Good wine! To put it in your country, it is: this wine should only be found in heaven!"
