The New Year's Eve buffet features over a thousand dishes, displayed in multiple luxurious and spacious serving areas within the banquet restaurant. While not categorized, the dishes are arranged in appropriate combinations.

All types of food and beverages are available in unlimited quantities, and meals can be replenished instantly without requiring participants to queue, saving time, especially since the event time is very limited.

The New Year's Eve dinner buffet event only has a little over two hours of effective time. Within that time, the total amount of food and drinks that participants in their ordinary state can consume is probably not that much. If the average amount of main dishes consumed is around 100 grams, and they can use dozens of different dishes, that's already quite good. Trying to use as many different types of food as possible, doing what's possible, is already very good.

If any participants in the Annual Banquet Flower Boat event do not wish to go to the food pick-up area, they can use the intelligent system to select their desired dishes. The dishes will automatically appear on the dining table. After the dishes are finished, as long as they meet the dining standard for that dish and there isn't too much main course left, the plates and cups will be automatically removed. If the dishes are not automatically removed, it means the dining standard for that dish has not been met, and some more main course will be needed. Side dishes are not required. Once the standard is met, the dishes will be automatically removed. Every participant in the Annual Banquet Flower Boat team is aware of this; there is a voice introduction explaining the relevant matters and event details before the event begins.

Some settings are acceptable; they will be implemented according to rules and guidelines, and have reasonable uses and intentions.

From over a thousand dishes, we selected several dozen to serve as the specific food and beverages for the holiday event. We felt that the number of dishes we chose was quite appropriate.

With an intelligent system, there would be hundreds of optimal selection options, allowing for better matching and balance. For example, it could offer suggestions on meat and vegetable combinations, varied pairings, and clever combinations. There would be numerous ways to combine dishes, and an intelligent system could automatically provide solutions and reasonable suggestions. Unlike the specific restaurants I selected, where oily dishes made up a large portion of the menu, and some dishes seemed repetitive (I selected four dumpling dishes, different in detail, but indeed similar in style), every single one of the selected dishes was delicious. Don't be fooled by the seemingly ordinary level of some home-style dishes; if they are exceptionally well-prepared, they can be truly excellent and flavorful.

Overall, I am satisfied with the selected restaurants. They were truly carefully chosen, and some similar dishes were compared and contrasted. I have personally tasted all the selected restaurants for the Lunar New Year event, and each has its own merits.

The specific menus for the New Year's Eve buffet at the New Year's Eve banquet at the Flower Boat have been officially issued and will be released soon.

In the six VIP banquet boat teams in the Gem Mountain and Sea area, the deities are waiting in their respective banquet boats for the announcement of the specific catering menus. As long as the specific catering is selected and the usage standard is met, extra activity points will be awarded. After the final ranking of the New Year's Eve dinner buffet activity is calculated, the top three teams in the competition will receive honors and rewards.

The many deities in the thousand districts of the Holy Resurrection Shrine were celebrating the New Year with joy, while awaiting the announcement of the selected meals. They wondered if any of the dishes served at the New Year's Eve banquet restaurant, the same ones used in the New Year's Eve banquet, were among the specially chosen dishes. Those who enjoyed the specially chosen dishes during the New Year's Eve buffet event felt a sense of pride, as only a select few dishes were chosen for the New Year's activities. It felt like an achievement, a reason for joy, and a fulfillment of their aspirations.

The managers and deputy managers of Jin Cai Jie Lian, who are in charge of the New Year's Eve dinner buffet event, will announce the specific food and beverage items selected for the buffet. The live broadcast will include audio explanations and narration, and the video introduction will be played throughout the entire Sheng Hui Shen Gong area.

Throughout the entire Creation Palace, you can see live stream footage of the Imperial Selection menu, which is the same footage from the New Year's Banquet Flower Boat event. There will also be promotional videos showcasing specific dishes.

Each restaurant's introductory video is very short, only a few tens of seconds long, and they are shown one after another. Then, the entire menu is displayed. These videos can be seen in various areas of the Sanctuary of the Holy Cross, with each area showcasing the live video feed.

For the more than 1,000 dishes in the New Year's Eve buffet, there were video descriptions and explanations of each dish. These were prepared in advance, ensuring that each dish had a unique introductory video. For some elaborate combinations, with numerous dish names that couldn't be explained in a few dozen seconds of audio description, some text was added to the video. Only specific dishes were selected to have their introductory videos played throughout the event, becoming the highlight of their meals and bringing pride and joy to the chefs at Jin Cai Jie Lian Ying Lian who designed and created them.

The banquet restaurant offers over a thousand dishes, but only a few dozen are selected as special selections by the host. These dishes and drinks will be the preferred choice for the Sheng Hui Shrine's New Year celebrations this year, and will undoubtedly attract the attention and importance of the deities. Because these dishes are specially chosen, many deities will make a point of tasting and enjoying them. Perhaps, some of these classic dishes will reappear in future events.

I originally intended for the Lotus Shadow Lotus staff of the Golden Realm, who were in charge of the New Year's Eve buffet, to prepare some special New Year's meals. Each special meal would include all the specific dishes, with the overall portion sizes controlled—not too many, just a small amount of each specific dish in the set menu, ensuring everything was included. However, this plan has been cancelled. Instead, I've decided to have the Golden Realm Lotus Shadow Lotus chefs prepare a large quantity of specific dishes and add them to the various New Year's banquet areas of the Holy Return Shrine. This will provide a substantial supply of specific dishes, eliminating the need for set menus. The guests can choose their own food from the pick-up area or the smart system, enjoying their delicious meals.

The deities in each area of ​​the Holy Reunion Shrine can choose whatever food they like. They can choose not to eat or drink anything they are not interested in, even if it's a specific dish; it's all voluntary, as they are not participating in any activity.
