On Chinese New Year's Eve, Yuelai Restaurant is not open, and the treasurer settles the wages of the kitchen and the guys at twenty-eight in the morning, and then the big guys happily go home for the New Year, usually until the fifth day of the new year before opening.

But this year is a little different, or the first day of the lunar month, a Chen Gonggong came to the store, saying that it was the internal official supervisor, and after looking around upstairs and downstairs, the Chen Gonggong dropped a deposit of 100 taels of silver, saying that the internal official supervisor and the Dongchang Yamen were going to hold a friendship party here on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, so that the treasurer must handle this matter well.

This stumped the shopkeeper, and told this Chen father-in-law that the store was not open for business for thirty, and the guys were looking forward to going home for the New Year. If he takes the order, won't the guys have a falling out with him?

Father-in-law Chen didn't like to listen to the shopkeeper say this and that, so he asked someone to take out a dozen silver ingots and throw them on the table, stacking the words, you have to do the business in the store for the past 30 nights, and you have to do it if you don't do it.

It's done, the banquet money is penny, and the guys and busy people have rewards, and if you don't do it well, then you can't invite people from Dongchang to come and talk to you.

The shopkeeper was frightened, thinking that this business would have to be accepted if he didn't take it, otherwise this Chen Gonggong really made a bad fanzi called Dongchang to come to the store to make trouble, and how could the business of the restaurant continue.

In this way, Yuelai Restaurant was not closed on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and the guys in the building began to work in the morning to set the table and clean up.

The kitchen is also a large group of people who are busy there, a total of 40 tables, a table of 18 dishes, is the largest order that the restaurant has received since its opening, and it is enough to be busy up and down.

At noon, the official supervisor Chen Gonggong brought people over, and a long banner was hung outside the window on the second floor, with the words "Welcoming the New Year Wanli in the 45th year of Wanli, the East Factory Friendship Party".

There are dozens of sisters who were invited from nowhere to pour into the restaurant, occupying a few boxes on the second floor and chattering non-stop, provoking those guys to always float to the second floor, no matter what is wrong or not, they always have to find an excuse to go around the second floor, and the bold ones also carry a teapot to send water to the sisters and children.

The chef in the back kitchen was also itchy, and gathered there one by one to say something wonderful that only men understand. Master Wu Er didn't talk a lot, and asked his mother-in-law to hear it, and he quarreled with Wu Er when he was angry. Fortunately, the shopkeeper appeared in time, otherwise Wu Er's mother-in-law might have rushed upstairs to scold other sisters.

In the afternoon, many people from the palace came to the restaurant one after another, all of whom were internal officials and supervisors. It was the first time for these eunuchs to participate in a friendship party, so they were very curious, seeing that the layout of the restaurant was very festive, and after greeting the responsible Chen Gonggong, they looked for a place to sit down in groups, eating melon seeds while chatting about the gossip in the palace.

Benefiting from the unit's "number one" Wei Gonggong is on a business trip all year round, the internal officials and supervisors are very idle, if they hadn't suddenly received a notice to come to participate in some kind of friendship party, the internal officials and supervisors would have forgotten the number one leader and his old man.

The East Factory came collectively in a group, led by Li Yongzhen's father-in-law, one of the four major stalls of the East Factory, and there were more than 200 officers. As soon as these people entered the restaurant, it really became extremely lively in an instant.

"Father-in-law Jin, they didn't come?"

After Chen Mo saluted Li Yongzhen, he glanced at the crowd, and did not find the other three big files Jin Liangfu, Du Wenzhao, and Zhang Jinzhong.

"Father-in-law Jin is on duty in the clerical room tonight, Father-in-law Du has his own place to go, Father-in-law Zhang is old and doesn't want to come out."

Li Yongzhen said lightly.

Chen Mo nodded slightly, please post that he sent them one by one, but the three of them didn't come, which means that they and Gonggong Wei are not of the same mind, so if they don't come, they won't come.

"Where's Grandpa Wei?"

"I'm going to Nantang."

Li Yongzhen said "oh" and asked Chen Mo to get busy, he sat and waited.

After touching a pillar of incense, Tian Ergeng of Beizhen and more than a dozen subordinates also came to the restaurant, including Li Wei, the small banner who went out with Father-in-law Wei and Li Yongzhen, but now this Li Wei has been promoted to a hundred households.

Tian Ergeng sat down beside Li Yongzhen and said casually: "Commander Liu is afraid of asking people to talk, and he doesn't dare to come." ”

"Liu Qiao is not responsible, he is not happy to do things, if it is not for the edict and prison, otherwise how can Your Majesty allow him to be in charge of Beizhen." Li Yongzhen took a sip of tea.

"The Governor values him."

Tian Ergeng grabbed a handful of melon seeds, heard the voice of a woman talking on the second floor, looked up, and found that there were a few flowery sisters on the second floor who were looking at him and laughing, and couldn't help but blush, and said a little strangely: "Why are there still sisters?" ”

"Father-in-law Wei is good at this," Li Yongzhen smiled, "Father-in-law Wei specially spent a lot of money to invite it, so that the brothers can be happy." ”

"Huh?"

Tian Ergeng was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, "Our little case leader is really different. After finishing speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Li Yongzhen with some urgency, "Gonggong Li is also good for this?" ”

"Fun, fun." Li Yongzhen hehe.

Tian Ergeng said "oh", with a countful look, and was about to tease Li Yongzhen, when several officials and supervisors over there came over to say hello.

Although it is not a unit, since the death of Cao Jukui, the actual official supervisor in the prison has the highest actual position in the prison, so the internal official supervisor is the descendant of Wei Gonggong, so whether it is Tian Ergeng or Li Yongzhen, they are very polite to these internal officials and supervisors.

"Grandpa Wei has arrived!"

Everyone was chatting, and there was a shouting sound outside, and everyone in the building got up and looked at the gate.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, it's our family!"

Father-in-law Wei, who was full of spring breeze, couldn't stop clenching his fists after he came in, whether he knew it or not, he was an old man with a little head, and he didn't have a shelf at all.

"Sit, sit, what are you doing standing? Don't be formal, we invited the big guy today, it's happy, don't talk about the rules, it's good to be happy! ”

Grandpa Wei smiled and waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and patted the fans around him from time to time. There was a fan named Father-in-law Wei who was photographed and said with a flattered face: "Father-in-law, his subordinate is called Ding Dagu!" ”

How did Father-in-law Wei know which Ding Dagu was, but his mouth said: "Oh, Ding Dagu, okay, okay, our family knows you." ”

Ah, Grandpa Wei really knows me!

Ding Dagu was excited, he didn't go to deliver food to his father-in-law and second uncle in vain last time.

Li Yongzhen and Tian Ergeng nodded at Grandpa Wei, who came over to greet them with a smile. Tian Ergeng turned around and beckoned to the person sitting at the table behind him: "Xu Xianchun, you came over to see Gonggong Wei." ”

"Huh? Brother Xu! ”

Father-in-law Wei was stunned, and when he saw that the person who came over was indeed Xu Xianchun, he couldn't help but be surprised. Earlier, he asked Tian Ergeng to help inquire about Xu Xianchun's whereabouts, but he didn't expect Tian Ergeng not only to find someone, but also to get someone back directly!
