Edict 5YL-11-02

To the Palace Kitchen, 

''We have reviewed the menu of the Enthronement Banquet. In variety it is good, but we notice there are only 106 dishes listed instead of 108. Where are the other two? Correct this oversight forthwith. ''

''Also remember the Empress Dowager's favourite dish, which is to be served to her alone, of ocean snails dressed with vinegar and chili. ''
