Although mahjong appeared in Xianyang not for a long time, but it has already been passed out of the palace, and even someone has specially compiled a mahjong manual, now the nobles and nobles have begun to play mahjong has begun to become a trend, mahjong is not enough and it is difficult to get rich, directly let the jade craftsman carve with jade, reluctant to use jade on wood, but Chen Xu naturally uses ceramic mahjong to entertain guests, all of them are selected, smooth and lubricated, and the back is also on the unified glaze, touching the hand heavy and full of feel.

In a restaurant called Ziguangge, two singers are sitting on the kang playing the piano and blowing the flute, and two little tea ladies are boiling water to cook tea.

Li Si, Feng Quji, Meng Yi and Jiang Heng are sitting around the mahjong rubbing mahjong, and behind a few people there are several second-grade members of the three provinces and six departments, although most of them have to be gray, but they are neatly combed, wearing luxurious robes or brocade robes, wearing jade crowns and jade pendants, holding hot teacups or a plate of snacks in their hands while eating and watching.

Outside, there are already maids and helpers coming and going to prepare dishes and chopsticks and wine.

"I've always heard that Qinghehou is good at making all kinds of delicious dishes, but unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to taste it, today invite me to wait for a banquet, you must taste it, three cylinders ......" Li Si said while playing cards.

"What Li Xiang said is that just the braised vegetables a few days ago are endless, and after Qinghe Hou made it, he asked the servants to send me some, and after eating, I felt that the food made by the kitchen at home was bland and tasteless, so I also went to Qinghe Hou's Mansion to rent a kitchener, and the daily salary was two hundred ...... The north wind ......," Jiang Heng said with a smile.

"Bump...... Hey, Jiang Fu Ling's method is good, why didn't the old man think that when he saw Qinghe Hou later, he would definitely have to rent a kitchen to go back and cook some delicious braised vegetables to eat every day! Feng Qujian answered.

"There are so many delicious pickled vegetables!" Meng Yi said while touching the cards.

"Lord Meng, this is not right, even His Majesty is full of praise for the pickled vegetables, how can it not be delicious? You must not have eaten it! Zhongshuling, who was standing behind Meng Yi, said with a smile.

"Hey, how could I not have eaten, I have already come to eat this Qinghe Hotel once, and compared to other delicious foods, braised vegetables are scum!" Meng Yi didn't reply.

Li Si, Feng Quji, and Jiang Heng stopped touching the cards at the same time and looked at Meng Yi together, "Doctor Meng wants to tell us, didn't this Qinghe Hotel just open today?" ”

"What are you lying to, I came to eat the day before yesterday, and the braised vegetables can't be taken on the table at all, crispy roast duck, sauce elbow, braised pork, pepper-flavored lamb chops, winter bamboo shoots beef, mapo tofu, refreshing fish balls, three fresh soups...... ...... hiss," Meng Yi said as he wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

"Don't say it, Lord Meng, I'm almost too hungry to walk!" Several people in the room shook their throats at the same time, causing the two women who played the piano to follow the chord.

And just as he was speaking, a strong fragrance wafted in from outside.

"Smell it or not, this is the smell of crispy roast duck!" Meng Yi snorted lightly and said.

"That's not enough, I'll go taste it soon!" A few officials who were standing in the back and reading the cards threw their teacups and snacks on the coffee table and walked out.

"Let's go, let's go, the old man is also hungry with his chest sticking to his back!" Li Si threw away the cards in his hand and stood up.

On the large round table outside, the first dish has been placed in the middle, which is the crispy roast duck, which is golden in color and fragrant, which is appetizing.

"I can't wait, let's have a piece first!" Several officials who came out before all cleaned their hands and sat down under the service of the maid, and Zhongshuling couldn't wait to reach out directly and ripped off a duck wing, and took it in his hand to eat.

"Well, delicious...... Delicious...... What the Montennese said is right, it's a peerless delicacy, fast food! After taking a bite, Zhongshu Ling's face suddenly moved, and he was full of praise while chewing.

Although the remaining few hesitated slightly, they couldn't resist the temptation of the fragrance and began to move, one of them tore off a piece and started eating, and when Li Si and the others came out, most of the ducks were almost gone.

Just when Li Si and Feng Qujian washed their hands and sat down to eat, suddenly a burly man in a brocade robe came in behind the two helpers who served the dishes, and his face was overjoyed when he saw the roast duck on the table, and he rudely reached out and tore off a duck leg and laughed: "Fortunately, it came in time!" ”

"Tongwu Hou, Hugh is rude!" Li Si also reached out to get the duck leg, but was taken first.

"Haha, Li Xiang's forgiveness, let's go next door and have a look!" Wang Ben laughed, turned around and ran.

"Why should Li Xiang bother with the reckless man, I heard that the duck neck is also delicious!" Jiang Heng reached out and twisted the duck's neck off.

"The duck wings are also delicious!" Meng Yi reached out and ripped off the last wing.

"The old man has bad teeth, so he eats duck back!" Feng Qujian tore a large piece of meat off the duck's back.

In an instant, a roast duck was left with only a broken duck rack, and when Li Si sat down, there was no way to start, and he couldn't stop his face twitching.

"Li Xiang, don't be angry, this sauce elbow is also delicious!" Meng Yi turned the table slightly, and turned a plate of pig's feet in front of Li Si.

"Hey, this table is really magical, it can still turn!" The table of people was suddenly full of novelty, and everyone couldn't help but turn around a few times.

And this situation is also playing out in more than a dozen restaurants at the same time.

Li Si and other civilian officials are still gentle, and they are amazed while eating.

And a group of generals in the restaurant next door are not so civilized, they don't use chopsticks to eat, seven or eight pairs of big hands are scrambling on the dining table, and the round table has hardly stopped.

"Don't rob it, let's order the wine!" Wang Ben grabbed a bottle of Qinghe wine and slammed the wooden cork.

"Yes, today Qinghe Hou said, there is enough wine and food, I will wait and eat while drinking!" Li Xin also picked up a bottle of Qinghe wine and opened it.

"What I said is, come, one person and one bottle, and a certain person will do it first as a respect!" Another military general also opened a bottle of wine, and poured it down with the mouth of the bottle, and the red wine flowed down the neck of his mouth, rude and messy.

"Haha, okay, whoever gets drunk first will strip naked and go out for a run!"

"Di Daohou should be careful, don't show the little finch and make people laugh for a while!"

"Bang~" Li Xin slammed the wine bottle on the table, and suddenly the table was full of soup, and he pointed at a burly general's nose with a red face and shouted: "Tu Sui, don't think that Benhou is afraid of you, if you fall first, the beautiful concubine you brought today will return to Benhou, can you dare to gamble?" ”

"Gamble, gamble, I'm afraid of you?" Tu Sui also took the case.

"Wonderful, haha, wonderful!" The generals at the table all clapped their hands and laughed.

Half an hour later, Chen Xu appeared outside the room with a glass of wine with a slight stagger, listening to the sound of shouting and laughing inside, pushing open the door to see a table full of messy and wine bottles thrown on the ground, a room of bearded men all took off their coats and wore short hangers and were fighting wine, one by one drinking red ears and red ears, two of them were still stepping on the chair, one person and one bottle were pouring into the mouth like a cold white open without money, and a few onlookers and laughing guys were also drunk, A person was touching a little maid in his arms, and one of them was even holding a male helper and touching it breathlessly, and the room was full of alcohol, and the scene was extremely spicy.

it! Looking at the messy scene in front of him, Chen Xu hurriedly retreated, although he drank a little too much today, but he was not dizzy, this room was full of livestock, so it was better to run quickly.

"Wow ha, Qinghe Hou Xiu go, let's have three bottles of joy first!" A military general stretched out his hand to grab Chen Xu.

"Drink slowly, and you have to accompany Your Majesty to drink!" Chen Xu's footsteps have never been more steady, and he is running faster.

Chen Xu, as the host of the treat, naturally had to be thorough, and accompanied the emperor and several imperial concubines and princesses to eat and drink for half an hour, and then came out to toast next to the restaurant to express the friendship of the landlord.

Naturally, the female guests did not go to the room, but the rooms of these princes and princes still toasted next to each other to express their gratitude for today's face.

Although it is rumored that he is a disciple of the immortal family, but this lofty status can not let him go smoothly on the road of changing Daqin, in addition to the emperor's trust, he also needs the support and help of the minister of civil and military affairs, otherwise it will not be beneficial to the future reform, just like Li Si, he won the trust of the emperor, but in fact, it is difficult to step in the implementation of the decree and reform, even if the county system is a reform that is beneficial and harmless in later generations, in fact, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have always dissented, and the voice of civil opposition is greater, After all, since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it has been a feudal vassal system, and many people can't accept the ancient tradition if it is changed.

And Chen Xu has been in Xianyang for three months, and the civil and military ministers are unwilling or afraid to associate with him in view of his special status, because they are afraid that His Majesty will suspect that they have other plans to visit the disciples of the Immortal Family without authorization, so Chen Xu is almost alone, and he can only interact with the emperor in general, which seems very lonely.

Chen Xu also knows that the water in Xianyang is very deep, and he is not willing to visit the princes and princes until he understands the details of each other, as long as the emperor does not die, his current position will be as stable as Mount Tai, so there is not much need to curry favor with others, and it is also so as not to arouse the emperor's suspicion, but he must have the support of many officials to survive the fate of this Great Qin, and to avoid that tragic war and massacre.

Reform of this kind of thing is not all dependent on the emperor is not possible, Qin Shi Huang is an eloquent emperor, but after all, Daqin is doing a completely pioneering reform that has never been done before, no one has experience, with his people who have accumulated two thousand years of civilization experience as a guide, many things can be crossed without feeling the stones, just like the reform of the three provinces and six ministries, just poked the emperor's heart, so it was able to be realized so quickly, but there are many things that the emperor may not like, but it is a change that is beneficial to Daqin, and someone needs to help wave the flag and shout.

Therefore, Chen Xu planned to take the opportunity of the opening of Qinghe Park to invite these court officials to express their goodwill.

After Chen Xu finished toasting with a circle of wine, his face turned a little redder, and his steps staggered even more, and not long after he returned to the Purple Qi Donglai Pavilion, Li Sifeng Qujian and a group of civil officials came together to toast the emperor, and the commotion lasted for half an hour before it calmed down, and everyone was full of wine and food.
