Chapter 89: A Grand Banquet (1)
"Didn't you guys say I owed you a meal? Did you invite everyone to dinner that day?" Ye Lang asked, somewhat puzzled. "Are you thinking of doing it again?"
That day ended with everyone eating and paying for themselves, but then someone suddenly had an idea to have everyone go to one place to eat, and a venue that could accommodate so many people couldn't be just anywhere.
The first choice is the square in front of the imperial palace, because it's the largest place, but since it's in front of the imperial city, it's not a place where events can be held at will.
The second choice is the central square of the city. Although it's not as big as the one in front of the palace, this is where grand celebrations are often held and ordinary people are more accustomed to such places.
After consideration, everyone finally chose the central square. However, the emperor and others all attended together, making this originally impromptu activity even more legendary and passed down for centuries!
Due to the large number of people present, and the fact that there were all sorts of social classes in attendance, and Ye Lang being indiscriminate towards newcomers, those who weren't initially at the arena could join in as well when they heard the news!
There are more and more people, and the square is finally overcrowded. It starts to spread to nearby areas, and the streets are also crowded with people. The crowd radiates from the square in all directions!
But people didn't just gather together, everyone helped to prepare for this grand banquet. If some people were asked to prepare a feast for tens of thousands of people, the workload would be enormous, but if all these tens of thousands of people worked together, it wouldn't take much time at all.
Move tables and chairs, prepare bowls and plates, transport ingredients, cook in the kitchen, serve dishes.
The whole city is mobilized!!
These three grand banquets have reached the point where the whole city is celebrating together. Even if it were a bigger celebration, it wouldn't be on this scale. This scene has left the emperor and others in awe!
In this grand feast, everyone forgot their class differences, forgot the distinction between rich and poor, forgot the distinction between noble and humble.
Everyone only remembers one thing: eating meat in big chunks and drinking wine from large bowls!!! Be happy, be joyful!!!!!
What a rare scene, who would have thought that such a scene would exist just because of one person, and no one could think that there is someone with such influence. It turned out to be Ye Lang, this level of prodigal son!!
At that time, Ye Lang was still young
"Who put wine in my tea!!! I don't drink!!!"
After a little wine, Ye Lang's face began to turn red, and soon he became "drunk" "Sister, I want to sing a song for you!"
Really?
"Pig, your nose has two holes"
"Bastard, dare to flirt with your sister!!! Go die!!!"
Yè Lán Yǔ was furious and threw a punch, but Yè Láng dodged it easily. He then lay down on the ground and started snoring loudly.
Although I knew that this kid never drank and had never drunk before, I never thought he would get drunk with just one touch of wine.
After Ye Lang fell down, Ye Lan Yu, Xiao Qi Gong Zhu, and Zhen Xiao Yan, who was serving dishes at the time, immediately rushed over and helped Ye Lang up with all their might. After confirming that he had indeed passed out from drinking too much, they escorted him back together.
Long Anqi felt a mix of relief and discomfort. She hadn't even had the chance to intervene, yet these few girls had already taken on the task of caring for Ye Lang.
Then, although Ye Lang was no longer the main character, everyone's emotions remained high, and it wasn't until very late at night that this grand feast finally came to an end.
Of course, for what happened later, Yewei was completely unaware, but he was certain of one thing, that is, he had already invited guests!
Since they've already been treated, what are these people doing now? Ye Lang didn't mind treating them again, but this statement seemed to have some problems. How could he say that he still owed them a meal?
"Hello, I think I've already paid, haven't I? I don't owe you anything!" Ye Lang said calmly and politely.
"Uh, Young Master Thirteen, you've misunderstood! The debt we're talking about isn't the one you owe me." The crowd immediately explained after a brief moment of stunned silence.
"Oh, excuse me, we're just window shopping!" Ye Lang said directly, preparing to pull his cousin along to continue their stroll.
"Let it go, Young Master Thirteen, although you don't owe us anything, we owe you one." The crowd immediately said.
"What? You owe me?" Ye Lang was confused, he didn't remember them owing him anything.
"Haven't you forgotten? We said that if you help us win money, we'll definitely treat you to a big meal!" The crowd reminded.
"Oh, right, I think we did say that. So what's the treat? Ye Lang may like to splurge, but if others want to foot the bill, he won't be polite about it, especially since this was already agreed upon."
"What would you like to eat?" Since I'm treating, of course I have to ask what the guest wants to eat.
"I want to eat the dishes that Zhen Xiaoyan cooks! Ye Lang didn't even think about it, and directly took out another dish. Of course, what he wanted to eat most was something cooked by Zhen Xiaoyan."
"Fat lady? Oh, you're talking about Zhen Xiaoyan, right? I know she often cooks in the kitchen of Zhen's Delicious Restaurant. However, I don't know why her dishes are rarely served to customers. But those who have tasted them say that her culinary skills are unmatched in the world and they can't stop praising her. As soon as someone mentions her cooking, it seems like they're eagerly anticipating it."
It seems that everyone in the world knows that Zhen Xiaoyan is still a fatty in Ye Lang's mouth, although she now looks beautiful and lovely, making people adore her, which has nothing to do with being a fatty.
"That's because she made it for herself to eat. And also for me." Yelang said, revealing the reason behind this. "Impossible, how can she eat so much now that she's so delicate? Are people suspecting that all of those were eaten by Yelang, although no one has ever heard of Yelang eating before, but they'd rather believe that."
"What's wrong? Fatima has to eat so much now, or else her body will have problems. Ye Lang directly replied, "Right, aren't you treating us to a meal? Then let's go to Zhen's Delicious Wine House and patronize her business, it would be best if we can meet her."
"Alright!"
Then, a group of people went to the wine house in a mighty manner. And on the way, more and more people joined after hearing the news, which could make it a small-scale grand banquet. I don't know if the wine house can accommodate so many people.
"Is Zhen Xiaoyan here?" someone asked as soon as they entered the wine house.
"She's at home today, didn't go to school, and is currently in the kitchen, but she may not be able to cook for you. Xiao Er heard this question and immediately responded, very fluently, as if he had said this sentence countless times."
That's right, I don't know how many times, every day there are countless people who come to the name, and this also makes the wine house business of Zhen's family suddenly surge, booming.
Although it's not certain that you can eat Zhen Xiaoyan's dishes, since you've come here, most people will just eat here and won't change their location just because they can't eat Zhen Xiaoyan's dishes!
This situation had been slowly forming for a long time, but after that grand feast, it suddenly erupted like a geyser, all because of the dish Zhen Xiaoyan made for the emperor and others at the time. Although she originally made it for Ye Lang, the emperor and others just happened to try some.
And in the end, Ye Lang didn't eat much and got drunk!
It's also cheaper for emperors and such people.
No matter what, Zhen Xiaoyan's dish at that time made the emperor and others marvel, announcing Zhen Xiaoyan's unparalleled culinary skills, and also gave the Zhen family a great advertisement!!
"What others say she may not do, but there is one thing she will definitely do!" someone said with a smile, speaking confidently.
Only
"This is already what I've heard today, and if I count the days before, I've lost count. Everyone says this, but the result is always the same!" The shopkeeper said with a familiar tone, "I advise you not to have too high expectations, our chef here is one of the best, absolutely won't disappoint you."
Many people thought that with her identity and status, Zhen Xiaoyan would definitely give face, but they didn't think that Zhen Xiaoyan wouldn't care about all this. She wasn't here to be a chef in the first place; she was just cooking for herself, and the ingredients were conveniently available.
Her arrival would always give her family a headache because she would use up most of the materials, which didn't matter anyway. She wanted to use them, and no one would stop her!
But she used up a lot of rare materials that are very hard to collect!
Nonsense, if it weren't for these hard-to-find ingredients, would I have come here? It can be solved at home! This was Zhen Xiaoyan's response. She had originally come here because she had taken a liking to these materials; otherwise, with her family's kitchen facilities being on par with those here, why would she have bothered coming all the way here?
The people of the Zhen family also tried to hide those things, but they failed again and again. They didn't know why, but Zhen Xiaoyan had a special talent for finding food, no matter where it was hidden, she could easily find it!
After all is said and done, they have no other choice but to swallow their bitter pill!
But now it's different, because Zhen Xiaoyan's reputation has spread far and wide. Whether it's the title of "Flower Queen" or her culinary skills that have won the emperor's praise, they attract a large number of customers, so they can't wait for Zhen Xiaoyan to come every day and stay here all the time.
Also for this reason, they also tried to let Zhen Xiaoyan do something for the guests to eat, but Zhen Xiaoyan didn't care at all, only knowing how to find materials to make things. Then she took the finished product and left, and what made them feel helpless was that Zhen Xiaoyan's main purpose was just one thing? That is.
Make delicious food for Ye Lang!!
