Chapter 111: A Set of Martial Arts Moves

"Don't worry, Grandma Huang, I'm a master of winemaking. I'll let my maid send you two jars later." Sheng Zhiyao said with a smile.

"Haha, Zhiyao, you really surprised Grandma the Emperor. Why is Sheng Lixin so lucky? You are really going to become famous this time."

"Hehe, Grandma Huang, you are also blessed. I am also your granddaughter. Besides, I don't want others to always say that I rely on my relationship to become the princess." Sheng Zhiyao said with a smile.

"You kid, even if you are strong, you must also know how to advance and retreat."

"I know, Grandma Huang, don't worry. I'll discuss these dishes with Lord Li first and come to talk to you later."

"Go."

The queen watched Sheng Zhiyao leave with a smile, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Sheng Zhiyao left the queen's bedroom and went to the imperial kitchen to find Li Yuan.

Imperial kitchen.

At this time, Li Yuan was directing the chef to prepare dishes for tomorrow's banquet. When he saw Sheng Zhiyao coming, he hurried over and saluted Sheng Zhiyao and said, "Princess, why are you here?"

Sheng Zhiyao looked at him: "Grandpa Li, Grandma Huang asked me to help prepare the dishes for this banquet."

"Yes, I have just received the Queen's decree. Do you have any good dishes this time?"

"Well..." Sheng Zhiyao thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Grandpa Li, don't be careful that I am young, I have a lot of knowledge about food."

"Haha~ I knew you were a little guy, what are you going to do?"

Sheng Zhiyao thought for a while: "Grandpa Li, what do you think this banquet should be grand? Or will it make Shang Zhou Dynasty amaze?"

"This... in the past, the banquets were similar in all countries. In addition to singing and dancing, they were just working on the dishes, and they were just some special ingredients."

Sheng Zhiyao nodded: "Well, I feel so too, it's uninnovative. Does Grandpa Li have paper and pen? I have ideas, but maybe it is expressed in words. You can't understand it. I'll draw it and you can see it."

"Yes, wait a moment, I'll bring it to you."

"good."

Li Yuan turned and left.

Not long after, Li Yuan brought paper and pen to Sheng Zhiyao. Sheng Zhiyao drew a rough figure on the paper and then drew a few detailed pictures.

Li Yuan was stunned when he looked at these pictures: "What is this? How can I eat without a table?"

"Grandpa Li, you don't understand this. This is called a cocktail party. People can walk around at will. The dishes are prepared on the table for guests to take them at will. They can pick up whatever they like to eat to avoid unnecessary waste." Sheng

Zhiyao explained.

Li Yuan looked at Sheng Zhiyao with shock in his eyes. He never expected that such a little girl would know so much.

"Grandpa Li, I have finished drawings. You can go to the imperial kitchen to prepare the dishes on the menu. You can put the hot dishes in the casserole and place a small stove underneath so that guests can eat hot dishes at any time

, but I just need to send someone to look at the stove and the dishes inside, and then prepare some empty plates, and I will bring some snacks over." Sheng Zhiyao handed the drawing to Li Yuan and said.

Li Yuan took the drawing and looked at it again, and sincerely praised: "You are indeed a smart girl. I believe that this banquet will surely shock all the guests. Even I have never seen such a scene. It is simply magical."

"Grandpa Li praised it. Remember to keep everyone secret before the banquet, otherwise the surprise we carefully prepared would be gone."

"No problem, don't worry."

"Okay, I'll go and talk to Grandma Huang about some details now. You'll be responsible for what I just said."

"OK."

"I'm going now, you can do it! I'll be here at noon tomorrow." Sheng Zhiyao ran away with a smile.

Sheng Zhiyao ran back to the queen's bedroom. As soon as her left foot walked into the room, the queen smiled and said, "I'm back, come and rest for a while."

Sheng Zhiyao walked to the chair and sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, then looked at the queen: "Grandma Huang, this is the drawing I drew. Are you satisfied with such a banquet?"

Upon hearing this, the queen took Sheng Zhiyao's drawing paper and looked at the dense small words and some marked dishes. A hint of relief appeared on her face. She put the drawing paper down and then took Sheng Zhiyao's hand.

, a gentle tone: "Zhiyao, this idea is really good. Did you come up with it?"

"Of course, I have already confirmed the dishes with Lord Li just now."

"Then tell me specifically? Otherwise, I don't know what to do tomorrow."

"Okay, Grandma Huang, please drink tea, I'll tell you slowly."

Sheng Zhiyao told the queen all the thoughts. After hearing this, the queen thought Sheng Zhiyao's plan was really good, and she also agreed very much: "Just Zhiyao, what is the cocktail you are talking about?"

"It's just a kind of mixed wine, which will be amazing. I'll know if the emperor's grandmother goes to try it in person tomorrow."

"Okay! I will definitely try it tomorrow."

"Did Grandma the Emperor agree to my plan?"

"Of course, I want to let them see how smart and virtuous my future queen of Shang Zhou is like such a good plan."

"Then I will take my leave first. Go back and prepare some things to use tomorrow. Grandma Huang, just ask Mama Rong to help me prepare the things on this list. I will set up the venue tomorrow morning. You want to treat the emperor.

Grandpa keeps it secret!”

"Okay, I get it."

Sheng Zhiyao said goodbye and left. She left the palace in a very good mood. She did not go back to the Marquis' Mansion directly, but went to Tianxiang Pavilion, with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums there, and she happened to have something to ask for instructions.

"Mei'er, I'll go to the room to rest first. I have something to explain later. You four will wait for me."

"Yes, Miss."

Sheng Zhiyao returned to the room and quickly closed the door and returned to the villa. She was searching for the cocktail self-made set she bought for her whim before. She picked up the check cup and tried to change the patterns in her hands.

They are all things she made when she was bored in modern times. It hasn't been used for a long time, but it should be OK to try it.

Soon, a bottle of cocktail was released. She put the chuck on the table, took out two goblets and filled the wine. She sat on the chair, raised the wine glass and took a sip. The taste was very wonderful, but she

I didn't immerse myself in it for too long before I put down the cup.

She cleared everything and took it outside, and asked Meilan Zhuju to come over.

"I will teach you four skills today, and you will need to go to the banquet tomorrow."

"Yes, Miss." The four of them answered in unison.

Sheng Zhiyao picked up a goblet: "You try it while watching me do it. You are all skilled people who should learn quickly."

She finished the whole process and began her own explanation: "You can just practice this as a martial arts move."

After saying that, Sheng Zhiyao picked up a pen and wrote down several common cocktail recipes and handed them over to them.

"Then you practice according to this recipe. That set of moves is to look good for the guests. Our ultimate goal is to mix bartenders."

"Yes, Miss." Mei Lan Zhuju took the note and carefully remembered the above content.

"Okay, you practice well. We will go to the palace to see them tomorrow night. You will be the focus of the audience. If the results are good, I might consider opening the next store." Sheng Zhiyao smiled and said,

Looking at the four girls.

"Yes, Miss." The four of them replied in unison.

"Okay, just don't embarrass me, you guys go down first." Sheng Zhiyao waved her hand and asked them to leave the room.

At this time, Hongxue's voice came to her mind: "Master, I have something to report."

"Tell me."

"Zi Chu is preparing to ask the emperor for marriage tomorrow night. Feng Yuanqing has been with the emperor recently. I am worried that he will take advantage of this opportunity. I suggest you take measures to stop him as soon as possible."

Sheng Zhiyao frowned: "I understand. You can continue to pay attention to this matter. Also, you can go to the palace with me tomorrow night, and tell Feng Yuanchen the news, let him prepare."
