Hearing Hua Mian’s question, the maid suddenly laughed and said, “What did the chef Xia say?”

"But I waited for a long time and no one came to inform me if there was any problem with the dishes, so everyone didn't eat it."

"Shu Xia Zhangchu is too worried. If it's okay, just relax." The maid comforted her: "It is normal to have no feedback. Flower viewing banquets are different from other banquets."

"What else can be different about this? Isn't it all about eating and chatting?" Hua Mian asked in confusion.

The maid saw that Huamian had some problems, and it was still some time before the next time she evacuated the vegetables, so she said something to the person who was traveling with her and left a reply to Huamian.

"Cheer summer chef knows what is the biggest difference between flower viewing banquets and other banquets?" asked the maid first.

The biggest difference? Hua Mian thought it was not simple. She blurted out: "The flower viewing banquet is a banquet that only women participate in."

The maid nodded and continued, "Precisely because only female members participate, you need to pay special attention to your appearance at the banquet..."

When the maid was about to say something, her companion walking ahead suddenly greeted her, leaving a sentence "Shao Chef Xia, don't think too much, this is normal", and left in a hurry.

"It's normal to eat nothing?" Hua Mian muttered and continued to look at the collected dishes.

Looking at the food that had almost never been moved on the dish, Huamian felt a little distressed. Although he knew that these dishes would be rewarded for maids and palace people later, so that they would not cause food waste, he still felt distressed that he had put in the effort he put in when looking for suitable recipes and preparing ingredients.

"Normal situation... the instrument... don't eat..." Hua Mian paced back and forth in the room while thinking about what the maid had just said. If all this information is connected, the only conclusion that can be drawn...

Whether it is a princess, concubines, female officials, or officials' wives, even if the people who enjoy the flower banquet have been carefully selected, their identities, status, and family are still first-class people even if they are placed in the palace. However, in front of the empress dowager, this person will still pay special attention to his words and deeds and will not tolerate any mistakes.

The more you are in this kind of occasion, the less you say and do, you will make fewer mistakes. No wonder the maids say that they don’t eat is normal. Today’s guests are all wearing luxurious clothes, and they may have their best dresses worn out. This is probably what it means to compete for beauty.

Thinking of this, Huamian also understood why they didn't go to eat. Although the dishes were delicious, they were like the plate of pork ribs. No matter how precious the ingredients were used, the fresh pork ribs were used to make them, it would not change the fact that they were pork ribs. It was not easy to eat pork ribs just with chopsticks, not to mention that when eating, it might be splashed with marinade.

If you don’t eat the dishes with soup, no one will touch the steamed rice cake? Today, this dish of five-color steamed rice cake was made by Hua Mian for some effort. It used the fruit juice from vegetable juice to mix it into five different colors of soup, mix it into the rice flour, knead it evenly, pour it into the mold and steam it in a pot. Even the mold is commonly used in the palace, and it is the same as what everyone eats on weekdays...
