Chapter 167: It's Good to Have Privileges
Li Er really cares more about reputation, and no emperor can be an exception.
Yu Shinan comforted: "Your Majesty don't worry, but anyone who is scolded by the people because of his labor and wealth is nothing more than delaying the people's livelihood and disregarding the lives of the people." ”
"But does this have anything to do with my Datang? The common people are well fed and clothed, and there are a large number of young and strong refugees from Hebei and Guanzhong who can be used as laborers. ”
"Besides, this money, as we all know, the money is hidden in the people, as long as the Tang Dynasty becomes richer and richer, the court will be able to earn this money back from the people sooner or later."
"And I heard Chen Chu say that after the badminton court and stadium are built, the competition and the usual play will charge ticket money."
"If you can come to play, you must not usually use it as farm work, and you don't have to run because of the problem of eating for the family, you must be rich, for a few years, more than ten years, decades, can't you earn this money back?"
Li Er nodded again and again when he heard this, stroking his beard and laughing.
After repeated consideration, it will indeed not have much negative impact on Datang, so this big project will fuck it, and when the time comes, how cool will it be to come here to play every day?
Suzaku Gate is only a few miles away from Xinghuafang, he rode his horse and galloped, leaving the imperial study for a stick of incense to almost arrive, and he will not waste time on the road!
It is still Chen's Restaurant, and now many people feel that the restaurant must be expanded.
With its reputation, not to mention the local people in Chang'an, the nearby states and counties can level the threshold just by coming here, and the popularity is too high.
Especially yesterday, Chang'an City had more than 300,000 bottles of beer in one go, and I don't know how many people enjoyed the feeling of a handful of beer thanks to the blessings of these chess participants.
A lot of alcohol worms are addicted to alcohol, and since then they have become a loyal member of Chen's Restaurant.
"Miss, let's go directly to the clubhouse, why are you here again, you can't squeeze in!"
By the carriage parked outside, Jade and Cui Shi looked anxiously at the crowded restaurant.
It's hard to imagine that the business of a restaurant can be so hot, at a glance, except for the restaurant is the back of the head, let alone squeezed in, if it weren't for the carriage occupying the space, they wouldn't be able to stay here.
"I can't go during this time, because Lord Chen doesn't have the energy to manage the club, which leads to a shortage of goods inside, and many things have been snapped up by others."
"The Chen Mansion is busy again now, we can only come here if we want to satisfy our cravings, let's try our luck."
Cui Shi was tall, she stood on tiptoe with the wheel, and tried to look inside, trying to see if anyone inside would come out, but she couldn't see it clearly.
At this moment, there was a shout, and I saw a luxurious and exquisite four-seater carriage slowly approaching, and hundreds of guards were opening the way nearby.
Glancing at the emblem on the carriage, the two women knew who was coming.
During this time, Luling went to the Luoyang fiefdom to check the brick kiln, and Jiujiang also saw the two people below in the car, so he beckoned them to get into the car.
Then, under the protection of the guards, the carriage went around the side door into the Chen restaurant, and went directly to the fourth floor under the respectful greeting of the shopkeeper.
The first three floors are well-style, with public and transparent spaces, while the fourth floor is independent, making a lot less noise.
When going upstairs, the three girls all smacked their tongues secretly, not to mention that the tables and chairs were full, and there was no place for even the corridor to be empty, and the little two had to be careful with their things, for fear of letting someone touch them.
As for the robbery, this kind of thing didn't happen, after all, no one dared to offend Chen's Restaurant, and the order was quite good.
"Miss Cui, I'm going to go to Chen's Mansion to see Chen Chu in a while, to see if there's anything I can do to help, do you want to go?"
The two women are noble, and the kitchen is naturally close to their things, and Jiujiang asked at this time.
A plate of braised fish, a plate of the restaurant's new cold salad two days ago, the three shreds of the cold salad Chen Chu has improved, which are shredded potatoes, shredded radish and shredded green onions.
The taste is a little heavy, and if you can't eat green onions, you can only look at it with your eyes, but fortunately, Jiujiang and Cui Shi are not sensitive to this.
With good seasonings, this new dish can be said to be fragrant and beautiful, but you have to be careful when eating, if you are not careful, the thick seasoning will stain your clothes, and it is not easy to clean.
Then there's a big bowl of vegetable soup with a scoop and beautiful seasoning colors floating on it, like a super low-profile version of hot pot, with amazing soup and dishes to eat.
Then there are dozens of skewers of shabu-shabu, and the appetite of the two girls is relatively small, but in front of Chen Chu's food, no one will say that they can't eat it, isn't it that they can't get along with their own five internal organs temple.
After enjoying a delicious meal, they left Xinghuafang all the way, and then found that a large area of land was enclosed, protected by guards, and a large number of craftsmen came to survey.
Because they often come to Xinghuafang in the past two months, they have also paid attention to this vacant land for a long time, not far from Chen's Restaurant, and they can't imagine that it has been appropriated by the royal family now, and it seems that His Majesty's badminton hall is planning to be built here.
All the way to Chen's mansion, before the two girls walked in, they suddenly heard a loud voice.
At first, they thought that Chen Chu had run outside the mansion and was right in front of them, but they didn't find it after looking around, and after being confirmed by the leader of the guards with outstanding ear power, they found that the sound came from the wall.
It's weird, why is this guy so loud, it doesn't sound like he's trying to roar, it's too weird.
They came to Qianfu Square unhindered, and saw thousands of people sitting here densely, and at the front there was a huge wall that was blackened, and Chen Chu was holding a roll-like thing, using gray charcoal to outline lines on it.
Today, Chen Chu told them about the construction method of simple scaffolding combined with the actual situation of Datang, and later they will study specific parts and materials together, and after these things are studied, the people who will be in prison will start preparing in advance.
The two girls were dazed when they heard this, but they didn't know what to do, so they stood by stupidly and heard it like all the craftsmen in one breath.
Because of the hot weather, the craftsmen who had been sitting under the sun for half a day were exhausted, but their hearts were full of excitement.
Because the food promised by Lord Chen is about to start.
Soon, simple shade pergolas were carried by the people to shelter the craftsmen from the sun.
And tableware, chairs, bowls and chopsticks and other tableware have also been brought up, because there are too many people, so these things are packed in baskets, piled up on the ground of dishes and chopsticks, not to mention, it is quite spectacular.
Chen Chu naturally couldn't prepare hot pot for them, but shabu-shabu, cold dishes, stewed mutton and steamed buns, etc., with Lao Gan Ma, almost two tables and a bottle.
The meals on each table are almost the same, the amount of shabu-shabu and cold dishes is not much, mainly to satisfy fresh and satisfying cravings, and the most important means to fill their stomachs are stewed mutton and white flour steamed buns.
Usually the craftsmen eat very poorly, no different from the common people, even the first few meals in the Chen Mansion are relatively simple, and now suddenly in the face of such a gluttonous feast, one by one excited incoherent, at a loss.
Obviously, their stomachs were screaming frantically, but they swallowed saliva and stared at the things on the table, and no one dared to move the chopsticks first.
These colors and fragrances are all arranged, as if they are treasured, and they have a sense of absurdity that cannot be desecrated.
