The banquet was very grand and it would be no exaggeration to say it was noble and luxurious.

The entire courtyard was decorated with bright yellow satin and hydrangea knots, which covered the entire inner courtyard.

In the three-way banquet hall of the Divine Treasury in the Beishenchu ​​Courtyard, the Left Divine Chef and the Right Divine Chef, there are ten large round tables in each direction.

The table is not only covered with a bright yellow tablecloth, but also equipped with a set of bright yellow tableware and tea sets.

Moreover, in the middle of each table, there is a large basket of real flowers arranged like stars over the moon.

White, yellow, and orange roses and roses are mixed in, setting off the lush green branches and leaves, it is absolutely eye-catching.

Not to mention that it is harmonious and harmonious with the overall atmosphere of the green glazed and red palace walls of Beishenchu. It looks so elegant and eye-catching.

This style of work is unique in this year, there is no other semicolon!

Not to mention the Great Wall Hotel and Jianguo Hotel, which are foreign-related hotels that just opened their doors not long ago.

So what if the Great Hall of the People and the Capital Hotel are there?

Flowers are used to enhance the atmosphere in these two places, which can also be done in the form of potted plants.

Never before had such a large amount of flowers been consumed at once.

What is grade?

This is the level!

Even the stage style basically maintains the same style.

You must know that nowadays, except for the studios where TV stations record programs and large-scale singing and dancing performances, most stages appear in the most ordinary auditorium mode, and there are no other forms.

To put it bluntly, due to lack of money, there would be no such gorgeous background panels and sound, light and electronic stage scenery as we would have thirty years later.

There is nothing else behind the stage except a screen and a curtain that can be opened.

If you are particular about it, you can at most put a red banner with white characters on the stage.

But today’s stage of Northern Chef is not so rigid.

First of all, the stage is set up in the open air in the courtyard, just to the north of Jingting.

Although the height is not high, only 40 centimeters, it is paved with steps and bright yellow carpet.

And the area is not small, it is in the form of a T-shaped table.

Secondly, this stage not only has a background board, but is also very novel.

In fact, Ning Weimin had someone build a large iron frame behind the well pavilion, and they also used flowers to form a flower wall that was three meters six high and seven meters long.

No matter from the direction of the dragon chair in the pavilion or the front of the stage, it is so pleasing to the eye and full of flowers.

This very cleverly achieves non-interference and perfectly divides the space.

Of course, today's dish is undoubtedly the most shocking finale of the banquet.

The altar palace is under the guise of "food from heaven's kitchen, enjoyed by the palace", so there is no shame in this aspect.

So if anyone wants to enter the room and sit down, they will be surprised to find that there are sixteen side dishes on each round table.

The four dried fruits are pine nuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and strange-flavored peanuts.

The four fresh fruits are bananas, grapes, honeydew melons and watermelons.

The four candied fruits are peach preserves, candied apricots, persimmons, and candied dates.

The four pastries are Ruyi Juan, Pea Yellow, Yulu Shuang, Su Ye Pastry.

However, this is not the end yet. It is just a pre-set arrangement, not the entire content.

There is also a piece of fragrant cardboard on each table, with the complete menu written on it.

The dishes listed are an incredibly long list, twice as much as an ordinary banquet.

For example, after a banquet, cold meat will be served.

There are smoked fish, candied lotus root, shredded chicken skin, shrimps and bamboo shoots, coral cabbage, salted duck liver, crystal knuckles, and fried fresh peppers.

Then comes the hot dishes.

There are cherry meat, fried eight pieces, bergamot shark's fin, palace fish, corn with pine nuts, stir-fried asparagus, wild rice simmered in chicken oil, Luohan prawns, the same eight dishes.

There are also two barbecue dishes, roasted squab and pine needle roasted chicken.

There are also four kinds of palace dim sum, siomai, orchid cake, sour soup, and fried jade spring sticks.

Finally, fried camel hump shreds, abalone and bamboo shoot soup, and a bowl of rouge rice are served.

Look, what kind of dishes are these!

Objectively speaking, although it is not an official banquet, it is just a casual banquet, and the amount of dishes at Tan Palace is smaller than that of other restaurants.

Each dish is served to everyone, and there is probably only enough for one or two bites.

But taking into account the entire table, there were actually forty dishes.

Apart from anything else, thirty years later, apart from buffets, who among the average person would have eaten so many dishes in one meal?

There is no doubt what effect it has in these days!

That is truly a luxury that ordinary people cannot even imagine.

So one can imagine the level of guests entertained by such a banquet.

From the district government, the Garden Bureau, the Cultural Relics Bureau, the Tourism Bureau...

These superior units of the Temple of Heaven Park must definitely be invited.

The business connections are quite large.

From the Communications Office of the Municipal Government, the Light Industry Bureau, the Second Commercial Bureau, the Transportation Bureau, the Textile Bureau, the Propaganda Bureau, the Cultural Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Bank, the Artists Association, and the Beijing Municipal People's Government

There are simply too many heads from the relevant large agencies and units, including those from the Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing TV Station, Radio Station, Beijing Evening News, Youth Daily, "Fashion" magazine, and "Art" magazine...

.

It must be mentioned that these units do not just arrange representatives randomly to meet the needs.

In fact, many units send both principal and deputy leaders.

Even the rare Minister Luo of the Municipal Government's Propaganda Department came here with his entourage, and was personally accompanied by Deputy District Chief Xu of the district.

And such a lineup does not include the service providers and manufacturers invited by Ning Weimin, celebrities from the literary and art circles, calligraphy and painting circles, as well as the counselor of the French Embassy and the sponsors of the Temple of Heaven Park, the District Service Bureau and the Pierre-Carton Company.

What about the people in the unit?

Let’s put it this way, the level of guests at this banquet was far higher than when the first phase of Didan Palace opened in August last year.

This is enough to prove that Ning Weimin's social influence and social circle have grown a lot.

The difference can even be seen in the entertainment programs arranged.

Last time the celebrities came just to have a meal, but this time all the big names came on stage.

Liu Xiaoqin, Chen Peisi, Wang Jieshi, Xie Lisi, these well-known actors who are currently popular and active in the capital are all very popular with Ning Weimin.

After being invited, everyone came happily and performed a short program on stage.

The host is Pace's partner, the "Wrangler" who also became popular this year for the Spring Festival Gala sketch "Eating Noodles".

Actors these days have all the basic skills in announcing scenes, and their level is quite good.

Finally, models trained by Pierre Carton were added to create a ten-minute top-level fashion show.

Alas, such a lively opening really gave most of the people present the illusion that "we are in the center of the capital."

The honor and satisfaction of being at the banquet is really no less than attending a state banquet for the first time.

So we waited until "Wrangler" announced the official start of the banquet on behalf of the three organizers.

Amidst the majestic music played by folk musicians such as guzheng and pipa, when more than 80 service staff began to serve dishes, people flowed through the kitchen and the hall like clouds.

The banquet scene completely became a place of laughter and happiness.

There is no one here who does not applaud and cheer.

Then everyone tried their best to make the most elegant gesture, smiled and toasted to each other, and moved their chopsticks one after another humbly.

Nian Jing and Jiang Hui are certainly no exception.

Although they have participated in many dinner parties and banquets, they have never seen such high standards and strict requirements in terms of venue, layout, process, service and dishes. Every detail is satisfactory and they are not picky.

A banquet gone wrong.

For example, when Jiang Hui was in the military art troupe, every time he went to perform with local troops, the local troops would warmly entertain him.

But the problem is that the troops all hold banquets in the canteen.

It's affordable, and the wine and meat are definitely enough, but the taste, dishes, and nutrition are not good enough.

I couldn't eat anything good that showed my skill as a chef.

After getting married, Jiang Hui and Nian Jing were both young backbones of the unit and department-level cadres.

Although there are not many restaurants where you can eat and drink while working, they are basically limited to famous restaurants and restaurants in the capital.
