A platform of hundreds of square meters was built on a large open space in the mercenary area in the north of the city. More than 40 stoves behind the platform were prepared, including chopping boards, kitchen knives, pots, pans and other utensils.
On the left side of the platform, there is a long table table, and there are more than twenty chairs placed behind it. On the right side is a large curtain covering an area.
There are at least hundreds of round tables placed on the open space below, each round table with ten chairs.
When the people who arrived arrived, they were even more excited when they saw this arrangement. This was the rhythm of the banquet on site.
"What! Seats are charged. Each person in the front row has fifty yellow crystal coins, each person in the middle, and each person in the back row has twenty yellow crystal coins. Of course, I want the front row!" If you can become a foodie, there is no shortage of money. If you buy a seat for fifty yellow crystal coins, they can afford it.
Almost in an instant, thousands of seats were filled with people, which made the person who arrived later stamped his feet and beat his chest, so why didn’t he go out early? But there was nothing he could do. No matter how many people could not set up the place, and the venue was too big and could not take care of it.
Then in a short time, the back of the round table was crowded with people. If a large number of security team members had not maintained order, they would have squeezed in front.
The sun was rising and the venue was busy. Hundreds of folks drawn from major restaurants brought plates of snacks to the round table.
White rice porridge, pickles made from various wild vegetables, and small pastries made into various shapes.
They are not unfamiliar with rice porridge, but pickles are rare. People who often go to the bun shop know shredded mustard lumps. They have never seen other ones before. In fact, they are all common vegetables on the market, but pickled pickles change their appearance. No wonder they are not familiar with them.
What surprised them the most were those small pastries, which they never thought that they could make such exquisite food with noodles.
I picked it up and took a bite. It was soft and soft, and it felt so good. I had another bite of pickles and a sip of rice porridge. Well, it was just a pleasure.
The foodie who had no seats were lined up to see the people on the round table eating and drinking while nodding and admiring, her eyes turned blue with envy, and she kept pursing her lips and swallowing.
"Brother, twenty yellow crystal coins are a seat, right? I'll give you forty, how about you give it to me?" Finally someone couldn't help it and shouted loudly to the front.
"Tsk! Are you short of money?" Several people on the round table turned their heads and looked at it with disdain on their faces, then continued to bow their heads.
Unfortunately, no matter the rice porridge and pickles, they are all filled with small bowls and plates, and the pastry is small, so they finish the meal in a few bites. Many of the people here showed regret and were not satisfied.
Of course, there are also smart people who whispered to the people around them that there should be some behind, and this one should be the same as the food street. You can't eat too much.
"Oh~" The person who felt that he was not satisfied before suddenly realized and began to look forward to the food later. While waiting, many people also talked about each other.
"Hongyuan City makes this food festival really good. The food street and the layout of today are all very good!"
"There are more exciting things to come later. The performance of the Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe. How long has it been before the New Year Song and Dance Show? It's just two months before they have a new repertoire!"
"Actually, I've always been curious about what the new form of performance is?"
"It's the most interesting competition among chefs. I heard that many chefs have come this time, and even the Fuman Tower in the imperial capital has come!"
"What I want to see most is Jiang Xingchen's unique performance, and they are anxious to look forward to it!" A woman held her hands in front of her chest, with little stars flashing in her eyes, and said obsessively.
"Haha~" The few people at the same table got goose bumps all over and cursed in their hearts: "I'm so thick, I'm a little too careless, why are you with a slutty deskmate!"
I wanted to leave but couldn't bear to give up the food. It was really nauseous not to leave. I was instantly confused and my heart was very entangled...
As the guys removed the dishes on each table, Dingbei Hou with a bearded face came out from the high platform.
"Welcome to come from afar to participate in the first food festival in Hongyuan City! I hope our preparations will satisfy you and make you enjoy the fun. In the past year..." Dingbei Hou spoke loudly.
However, the audience in the audience was a little tired of listening: "We are here to watch the show and eat delicious food, not to listen to you talking too much here, are you annoying?"
Dingbei Hou spoke for more than ten minutes before finally saying: "This time the chef will show his cooking skills on the spot, which will be made by the Marshal, Minister of Finance, and Dean of the Imperial Academy..."
After talking about a lot of people, Dingbei Hou had a meal, smiled and looked at the crowd, then said: "And with the three audience members who came to the scene made a tasting review together!"
"Boom~" The audience in the field suddenly became in chaos and rushed forward, and even the people who bought seats stood up: "I'll go, I'll go, I'll go..."
A group of security team members hurriedly blocked them, and complained in their hearts: "I'll go~"
In the end, Dingbei Hou randomly clicked the three of them, and the crowded scene calmed down.
The three selected people were extremely excited. Chefs from all over the world cooked themselves. I am afraid that such an opportunity will never be able to catch up with once in a lifetime. Especially when walking through the area where the round table is placed, the envy of those who bought seats has made them feel great superiority and satisfaction.
The Marshal, Minister of Finance, all the major lords and others sat down after the case on the left side of the platform. Dingbei Hou announced: "The first food festival has officially begun!"
"Dangdangdangdangdangdangdangdang..." As soon as Dingbei Hou finished speaking, a clear and loud sound of the guzheng suddenly came from the right side of the platform, and a curtain suddenly opened.
"Bauhinia is a performance of the Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe!" The audience in the venue was shocked, especially some people who came specifically for the song, and their eyes widened, and some girls' eyes were shining.
"My God, there are so many guzhengs, so many people, and they are all girls. What kind of song is this? "After seeing the situation behind the curtain, everyone exclaimed, there were actually hundreds of guzhengs placed there, with Jiang Xingchen and Wanrou at the front, and students from the Imperial Academy behind.
"Don't make a sound, look carefully. The stage arrangements made by Jiang Xingchen are different every time!"
The sound of the guzheng is crisp and bright, with continuous fast-paced plucking strings, and the cheerful melody immediately affected the people on the scene.
Jiang Xingchen played the golden snake dance. Although it was best to use the pipa, he could only master that thing quickly. Wanrou was not the case, and others were even worse. Instead, it would be better to use the guzheng all of them.
"This brand new song is really good. It sounds so cheerful, and it makes people feel happy from the bottom of my heart!"
"The music produced by Bauhinia is indeed classic!"
"It sounds nice, it sounds nice, I'm here this time..."
At first, Jiang Xingchen played it alone, but not long after, hundreds of guzhengs rang out at the same time. The volume increased sharply, and the cheerful melody spread out at once.
The powerful volume, cheerful melody and rhythm brought a sudden impact. Everyone who came to participate in the food festival was full of expectations and joy. At this time, he was rushed by the increasing music and felt his heart thrust with the zither strings.
This song took more than five minutes to play, and then Jiang Xingchen reached out and pressed the strings and stopped.
The audience in the audience all had festive smiles on their faces, and they were completely involuntarily driven by the music.
"Welcome to participate in the first food festival in Hongyuan City!" Jiang Xingchen stood up and bowed deeply to the audience.
Behind him, Wanrou and hundreds of students from the Imperial Academy also stood up to thank him, and the sound of swallows and orioles were heard.
At this time, people turned around under the impact of hundreds of guzhengs and burst into applause like a tide.
Then, Jiang Xingchen sat down again and changed into a song, which was also joyful and festive, step by step.
In this song, nearly half of the students changed to the horizontal flute to replace the erhu in the original song...
While people were excited, the guys walked into the venue with plates again and placed small plates on the table. "This is... ham, chicken feet, pig's trotters, belly shreds, and delicious food all over the street... Huh? What is this? I haven't seen it before!"
One person called the guy, and asked with a crystal clear and yellowish color inside.
"This is the flesh-skin jelly!"
"Skin Skin Frozen! Is it made of flesh skin?" The man was full of doubt and put the flesh skin cold in his mouth.
The frozen seed melts in the mouth, the skin is full of toughness, tepid, but it doesn't feel like it can't be chewed.
"Tasteful! So delicious, how can the skin be made like this..."
While this person was asking, another person from the deskmate was also asking the guy that he was holding a dark brown piece of meat.
"This is beef sauce!"
"Beef! Is this beef... Well~ It really tastes like beef. There is no soup, how can I make it..."
After the BBK ended, the audience burst into warm applause again, and people were happy to listen and eat very happily.
Although these two songs are not like men who are self-reliant and sarcastic, they are difficult to control their emotions. However, they complement the lively festival, fully highlighting the joy and happiness, and making people happy.
Especially the way they eat and watch while enjoying it, they feel extremely enjoyable.
Even those who had not bought seats were taken care of by Hongyuancheng and arranged for many guys to carry loads and deliver small bowls and plates of delicious food to them... Of course, there was a fee.
On the platform, a group of senior imperial officials and major lords were also extremely satisfied. The food in Hongyuan City really conquered their stomachs. And even the marshal who did not understand music could hear the main theme of festive and joyfulness, let alone other people.
Even Yuan Xixuan had to admit at this time that this food festival was held beautifully and Jiang Xingchen was even more genius. But the more this happened, the more depressed he became. It was not that our army was not powerful, but that the enemy was too strong.
Therefore, Yuan Xixuan and Yuan Hao and his son turned depression into appetite, and they were very edible. Let you be proud for a while. I will eat it first.
The three audience members who came up were originally a little nervous and restrained sitting with a group of high-ranking officials and great lords. But as the music progressed, there were also the food they sent. They gradually let go, their cheeks were thrown away, completely ignoring others.
After the music ended, Wan Rou and a hundred students left the stage, Jiang Xingchen stayed on the stage and bowed to the audience again, saying, "In addition to letting everyone taste delicious food, this food festival also has another purpose, which is to let the chefs show their superb skills... Let me start with you, throwing bricks and jade, and show me an ugly first!"
