Chapter 362 New Year's Banquet (Part 2)
As long as he can avoid being talked about behind others' backs and can complete his work smoothly, it is not a bad idea for Hua Mian to be regarded as Mr. Jia's performance. Anyway, there is no such thing as performance here.
Hua Mian and the chefs have been busy since early morning. Various cold dishes, desserts, boiled vegetables and snacks were brought out one by one. Everyone did not show much strangeness to the female chef who has been directing the work at the dining table.
Most people who work today have seen her at the moon viewing banquet. Moreover, they have seen her following Jia Lao every day doing this and that. Many people assume that she is Jia Lao's assistant or disciple.

After this New Year's banquet called 'buffet' was prepared by Mr. Jia, everyone returned to their usual demeanor and only said in their hearts, "How can you behave properly?" or "I wonder what this old man said to His Majesty again.
Ask Your Majesty to agree to hold such a New Year’s banquet.”
After listening to the palace attendant's explanation of the buffet, Mr. Zhu kept saying wonderful things. Looking at the dazzling array of dishes piled up on the dining table, he could hardly move his eyes away.
"I'm afraid this is Miss Hua Mian's idea again," Mr. Han stroked his beard out of habit. After attending the palace's New Year's banquet for so many years, this was the first time he encountered this kind of banquet. Since Mr. Jia did it before

Hua Mian stood behind the dining table, bowed her head and saluted. She heard footsteps coming from the entrance, and voices greeting Emperor Deyuan rang out one after another.
Emperor Deyuan walked straight to the throne. After he sat down, everyone in the back hall stood up at the announcement of the palace officials. Hua Mian rubbed her lower back. This way of saluting was really uncomfortable. How did people here get used to it?
Next came the speeches of Emperor Deyuan and Prime Minister Li. The content was nothing more than praying for the peace and prosperity of the country and the good weather of the people, and wishing the officials present good health. However, after hearing this, these people saluted again, Hua Mian
I had to put down what I was doing and salute together.
