Chapter Seventy-Three: Aren't the Big-Headed Soldiers Worthy of Eating Good Food?
When it had to close, people left the restaurant with great regret.
Some people tossed and turned after returning home, thinking about this chess game without forgetting.
There are also those who have ideas to build them themselves, or rush to find a carpenter who is also about to close.
So today, the carpenters of the entire Xinghua Workshop discovered a strange phenomenon, and many people came in at night to ask them to build this thing.
At first, a few people even compared what chess was like, but later the carpenter didn't need them to say, it was all a thing anyway, right?
Chen Chu is going back to his own house in Xuanyangfang tonight, and next, Chen's club is going to be started, and the affairs of the shopping mall will be put behind a little.
After all, his energy and financial resources are limited, so it's good to do one thing every time and be a good man who is single-minded.
There were a large number of materials piled up at the gate of Chen's mansion, and when Chen Chu looked over, it was the bricks pulled by Luling's sister.
He took a look at the style, they were all lotus-patterned square bricks, half a meter long, all of them were large, strong and flat, the material was very sufficient, and it was very heavy.
And Sister Luling not only pulled the bricks so simply, but also sent some craftsmen to help Chen Chu lay the bricks, which was really thoughtful.
"Master, today Your Majesty has sent three cartloads of silver ingots, a total of 120,000 taels!"
The foreign steward of the Chen Mansion said respectfully to Chen Chu, only to see three four-wheeled freight carriages behind the main entrance, which were filled with neat wooden boxes and silver ingots.
"Such a big deal!" Chen Chu smiled with satisfaction, even if you Li Er still have a little conscience, you know how to reward meritorious officials.
Although he has not been short of money for a long time, but at present, God knows how much it will cost to build this Chen Club, after all, the area alone is a full seventy acres.
"The left and right guards of the Imperial City have also arrived, and they are stationed outside the mansion."
Oh? Is it the two battalions of soldiers and horses that Lao Li said last time, I didn't expect to be really sent by the emperor to protect my family, Lao Li, they have the ability.
"Stationed in the mansion, the land for the clubhouse next to it has set aside a separate area for them."
Chen Chu waved his hand, how could there be a reason for guests to live outside.
What's more, there is a military camp outside a mansion in a good place, isn't it an eyesore, what if it scares people?
At this time, the two battalions of the guards were moving into the mansion under the arrangement of the people of the Chen Mansion, cleaning up the barracks and sorting out the supplies.
Zhi Chonglang asked Han Ding to the foreign manager: "Is Lord Chen resting now?" ”
"General Han wants to see his master? Don't worry, you can go to him during the day tomorrow, my master doesn't have any shelves, and all kinds of small things don't matter. ”
The foreign steward said to Han Ding that he Luo Wu was from the Jiujiang Princess Mansion, and not all of the people selected for him after His Majesty rewarded Chen Chu's mansion were not all drawn from the imperial city.
Han Ding nodded, that's good, he was afraid that this Lord Chen would not be easy to contact.
The mobilization of the emperor's own troops to protect ordinary officials for a long time, and the two battalions of 1,500 people, which was unprecedented in history.
Especially when His Majesty personally explained when he was leaving, as long as it did not involve vital matters, Chen Chu's order was equivalent to his order, and the glory of the Holy Grace could be seen.
It is no exaggeration to say that no prince, prince or even prince and princess of the Tang Dynasty have such treatment, so it is urgent for him to meet Chen Dacai who returns to the city for the first time.
The scene was vigorous, and the locust plague that forced His Majesty to swallow locusts at the head of the city was solved by Lord Chen in three or two.
And both times, one person scared off the locust plague, and called on the military and civilians in Guanzhong to fry locusts to eat, completely dispelling people's fear of locusts.
In this regard, the officers and men of the two battalions were in awe.
The next morning, when it was dawn, Chen Chu came to the barracks on the right side of the south of the Chen Mansion and to the south of the Chen Club, to check and comfort these officers and soldiers who wanted to protect themselves in the future.
Zhi Chonglang hurriedly greeted Han Ding and Zhang Qi with the big and small generals, and at this time, some soldiers had already dispersed in shifts to patrol the nearby neighborhoods, and there were only some people in the battalion.
After a little greeting, Chen Chu was surprised: "Do you eat pickled porridge for breakfast, where does it taste?" ”
The two of them are a little embarrassed, don't everyone eat like this, Datang is eating like this now.
"How can you stand up and fight a good battle if you don't have enough to eat?"
Chen Chu said solemnly, their meals are bound to be arranged by themselves, although it is impossible to supply them every day, it is always necessary to improve their lives every once in a while.
So soon the family sent a batch of iron pots, a cart of potatoes and corn pulled by a flatbed cart, a small amount of dried chilies, and dozens of large buckets of pure water.
These things are all large and sufficient, and the price is not expensive, Chen Chu earned a lot of spit value yesterday, and it is foreseeable that the amount of spit value earned in the future will also be improved, and he does not feel sorry for this expense.
Seeing these legendary delicacies, the officers and soldiers of the left and right guards couldn't take their eyes off it one by one.
Because they usually protect Li Er, they know how precious he is to these things.
Even the arrogant Turks were obediently sacrificed horses and sheep in exchange for these delicacies.
Even countless dignitaries and nobles are eager to taste it, and the pure water is said to be the cleanest water in the Tang Dynasty, as pure as the sky, but at this time, dozens of large barrels are piled up like a hill and placed in front of their eyes.
The potatoes, corn and dried peppers, Princess Changle asks His Majesty for them almost every day, it can be seen that even His Majesty's most precious Changle does not have this thing, and now it is piled up like a hill in front of them?
The gratitude and excitement in everyone's hearts were indescribable, but now Han Ding and Zhang Qi didn't dare to accept it.
They hurriedly waved their hands: "Lord Chen, don't you know, these things are rare even in the palace, and even the queen mother and Princess Changle are lacking, where can we big-headed soldiers enjoy them." ”
Lord Chen, don't hurt us!
When the time comes, let the palace people or the big people in the court know that they have eaten so many of these treasures, and I am afraid that they will be half dead in anger.
Chen Chu understood the truth of this, and said impatiently: "Just take it for you, don't be verbose." ”
The things he Chen Chu sent out have never been taken back, what's the matter, these big-headed soldiers feel that they can't eat such good things?
What is this, put it in the future generations, these things will be scolded by everyone for pig food.
So in the midst of anxiety and joy in their hearts, the officers and soldiers of the left and right guards, who could not refuse, tasted the food that even His Majesty and others enjoyed very much.
They felt their souls flying, and they felt that their tongues no longer belonged to them.
It felt like the soul was out of the body, and the limbs and bones seemed to be infused with infinite power.
The taste of that kind of food makes the taste buds tremble to the extreme, and everyone is experiencing it for the first time in their lives.
It wasn't until long after the end of this gluttonous feast that they gradually came to their senses, and it was no wonder that His Majesty was so precious to these delicacies.
No wonder Lord Chen has a status that people can't envy today.
Just about eating, he ruled the entire Tang Dynasty!
