Seeing everyone supporting her so much made Qian Ruoyu feel more at ease.
Qian Ruoyu then called Chef Wang to his side.
Said calmly.
"Fat Wang, what have you prepared for this birthday party?"
Fatty Wang thought for a moment and then said immediately.
"I would like to inform you that the prince is the current prince, and this time the old lady's birthday banquet is held in the prince's palace. Therefore, the prince's etiquette should be followed. No matter how many tables are served, each table requires twenty-eight dishes and six desserts.
, six soups, two tribute melons and fruits and two cold dishes, each table costs about two hundred and seventy taels of silver, all of which are customized according to the prince's etiquette."
Suddenly hearing what he said, Qian Ruoyu did some careful calculation in her mind.
Even if there are only one hundred tables, the amount of silver needed for the banquet alone has reached seventeen thousand taels.
This is just the food used for the banquet, not counting other things.
Putting longevity peaches and longevity wine, worshiping the immortal Magu, etc. are also a lot of exquisite things. How can you do it without spending money?
If this is the case, doesn't it mean that a simple birthday for the old lady will cost more than 20,000 taels of silver?
Thinking of this made Qian Ruoyu feel extremely frightened.
According to the fact that the prince's birthday banquet is so luxurious, wouldn't the royal birthday banquet be even more luxurious?
Especially the gifts and money given by the guests, each of them must have exceeded the value of more than one hundred taels of silver, otherwise how could they possibly get it.
There are at least ten people at each of the one hundred tables. Doesn’t this mean that the birthday banquet will have thousands of people?
This has made Qian Ruoyu a little bit unimaginable. As expected of a royal relative, a birthday banquet would invite thousands of people, and the nutrition that would be spent at once could be said to be tens of thousands.
But even so, Qian Ruoyu could only pretend to be calm and collected. After all, there was Fatty Wang waiting for him to speak.
Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly.
"Well, it seems that you, Fatty Wang, already have experience?"
Fatty Wang chuckled, scratched his head, and said honestly.
"Although I am not an imperial chef, I have been working in the palace for many years, and I have prepared some large banquets before."
"I also know that the princess may not know much about this matter, but please rest assured, the princess, I have prepared the banquet for a hundred tables, but I am afraid that I will need to get food from several restaurants in the capital.
The building will have to hire a chef and some helpers to prepare it."
"In this regard, I would like to recommend you, Princess Royal, to go to the Dahonglou. Dahonglou is the largest restaurant in the entire capital. There are hundreds of chefs and hundreds of helpers in it. If the Princess can hire a few chefs, then this time
I will be more prepared."
Qian Ruoyu naturally wrote down what Fatty Wang said.
Before this, Qian Ruoyu only knew about Dingxiang Tower, a place where the prince had been.
In addition, Qian Ruoyu's understanding of the capital was only stored in his own memory, and it did not have a huge impression.
Therefore, Qian Ruoyu immediately imagined it in his mind and realized that Dahongmen is the largest restaurant on the cross street in the entire capital. No wonder it is the most famous one.
So Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly, and after confirming with Fatty Wang the number of chefs he needed to invite and the number of chefs, he left the dining room.
Qian Ruoyu quickly brought Yan'er to the main entrance of Dahonglou.
It is indeed the busiest cross street in the entire capital. The whole street is bustling with people coming and going, and there is an endless stream of carriages and pedestrians.
Only at this cross street can you really see how prosperous the capital city is.
The prosperity of the cross streets in the capital is probably no less than that of modern metropolises.
At the main entrance of the Red Building, there were eight beauties standing in neat clothes. They all looked like they were welcoming guests with smiles on their faces.
Qian Ruoyu thought, maybe this should be the earliest welcome in ancient times.
After the eight beauties saw Qian Ruoyu, they could immediately recognize that Qian Ruoyu was no ordinary person. After all, Qian Ruoyu was on an official trip this time, so she was wearing rich and beautiful clothes.
Eight people recruited Qian Ruoyu to enter the Red Mansion.
The main entrance of Dahonglou is clean and neat, and the placement of various objects makes people feel comfortable.
After Qian Ruoyu was brought into the Dahonglou, a neatly dressed waiter came to her immediately.
"Miss, do you need anything?"
"This restaurant is the largest red restaurant in the capital. It provides everything you can eat in the world, including bears, fish, tigers, rabbits, crocodiles, turtles, deer, and sharks. You can rest assured!"
Qian Ruoyu never thought that the waiter in front of him would be so confident. It seemed that Dahonglou did have certain qualifications.
No wonder Fatty Wang told himself to come to Dahonglou to find a chef. Sure enough, only this place could be worthy of a grand banquet in the palace.
Therefore, Qian Ruoyu also smiled and said directly to the waiter.
"I'm not here just for food. Can you call your shopkeeper here?"
After hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, the waiter smiled softly, with some contempt in his eyes.
"Miss, we may be able to provide a variety of delicacies here. You are not here for the delicacies, but for our shopkeeper. But our shopkeeper is very busy right now!"
"There are a lot of people waiting. I'm afraid our shopkeeper won't go and see you at will. After all, when we open the door for business, we have to welcome all the distinguished guests from the capital. Naturally, not just small sesame seeds and mung beans can see you."
Yan'er on the side became anxious after hearing these words.
After all, the waiter directly called his wife Xianzarenwai, so how could Yan'er not be angry?
But before Yan'er could say anything more, she was stopped by Qian Ruoyu, who just said lightly.
"Really? Then may I ask what your boss is busy with now? He should be meeting a certain high official, right?"
Qian Ruoyu just wanted to visit and see how high the level requirements of this big shopkeeper were.
After the waiter heard this, his face became even more proud.
"That's natural. To tell you the truth, our chief shopkeeper is currently entertaining Mr. Cui, the imperial censor. He is a popular figure in the dynasty. He has offered advice and suggestions to His Majesty many times. It's not that I don't want to call our family.
Big shopkeeper, I’m afraid it’s hard for our big shopkeeper to give you this face!”
Although the waiter said these words, he did not mean to look down on Qian Ruoyu, he just told Qian Ruoyu these words.
