Chapter 478: Banquet
It's not as delicious as other vegetables, but it's also very flavorful, especially in this winter when meat is often eaten.
"Lord Wang, this tofu tastes really good."
Li Yu nodded, "This is just white tofu, it doesn't have any taste, he has a lot of methods, if he makes it, it will be very different." ”
Listening to what Li Yu said, the red whisk girl couldn't help but feel a little surprised in her heart, why didn't the prince who didn't learn and didn't know how to make such delicious tofu suddenly understood so much.
"Send an invitation to those wealthy families in Shuozhou, and say that this king will hold a banquet in the palace at noon tomorrow to entertain them."
As soon as he said this, Cui Tong, who went to look for the poor people, rushed back, and when he heard this, he immediately became anxious.
"Lord, we don't have much money in the palace, you ...... Why do you still have to entertain those wealthy families? ”
Cui Tong worked hard for a long time, and brought back dozens of poor people, he will continue tomorrow, so many people have to eat and live, and they have to be very frugal.
Seeing that Li Yu was going to entertain those wealthy families, he thought that Li Yu's old mistake had been made again.
Li Yu smiled and said, "Cui Tong, don't worry, after those wealthy families come tomorrow, we will have money." ”
Cui Tong looked confused, and then glanced at the red whisk girl, the red whisk girl smiled lightly, she had somewhat understood what Li Yu meant.
The Lu family.
After the heavy snowfall, the Lu family looks even more magnificent.
The head of the Lu family in Shuozhou is called Lu Xin, and he is a branch of the Lu family in Shuozhou, and he has been doing things for the Lu family in Shuozhou, and doing things includes a lot, such as economy, political affairs, and military.
Lu Xin stood in front of the window and looked at the heavy snow outside, a sparrow took advantage of the snow to stop in the snow to feed, a sound of footsteps came, the sparrow immediately looked at both sides vigilantly, and then spread its wings and flew away.
Soon, a domestic servant came up with an invitation.
"Master, King Yongde sent someone to send an invitation, and I want you to go to the palace for a banquet at noon tomorrow."
"To a feast?" Lu Xin frowned slightly, and then asked, "Then what did Li Yu do when he sent people to bring all the homeless people in Shuozhou to the mansion?" ”
Lu Xin is very well-informed, and he has been paying attention to Li Yu's every move, and he is very curious about Li Yu's bringing those untouchables into the palace, so he sent someone to check early in the morning.
"I heard...... He will provide shelter and food for those people. ”
Lu Xin touched his beard, and then showed a chuckle, "Li Yu, who has always been gentle, is actually going to do things for the people?" It's really interesting. ”
The servant smiled bitterly and asked, "Master, do you accept this invitation or not?" ”
Lu Xin's face was unfathomable, and he said, "Tell the servants of the palace that my Lu family will definitely be present at the banquet at noon tomorrow." ”
At this time, a young man came over and said, "Father, what tricks does this Li Yu want to play, why did he suddenly take in those poor people, and now he wants to feast on us wealthy families?" ”
"I heard that Li Yu was assassinated."
"Father means that Li Yu wants to find out who is behind his assassination?"
Lu Xin shook his head, "Bang'er, you think things are always too superficial, and there is no consideration, after Li Yu was assassinated, he began to care about the situation in Shuozhou, do you think he is trying to find out who is behind the assassination of him?" ”
Lu Bang's expression moved slightly.
"Lu Bai is coming soon, right?"
Snowflakes fell again at night, and the heavy snow in Shuozhou this year was a little continuous.
The next day, the heavy snow did not stop, and the entire city of Shuozhou was silvery white.
Near noon, several carriages stopped in front of the Yongde Palace, braving the wind and snow.
When the carriage stopped, several people stepped down from it, and they got out of the carriage and looked at each other.
"Brother Fan is also coming to the prince's banquet?" An obese middle-aged man squinted his eyes and smiled, he was Zhou Jiawang, the head of the Zhou family, and next to him was a teenager who was even fatter than him, it was his son Zhou Jun.
"Brother Zhou is here, it's a little inappropriate for me Fan Zhengchun not to come." Fan Zhengchun has a thin figure, slender eyes, and the whole person gives people an unfathomable feeling.
After the two exchanged two words like this, they laughed and entered the Yongde Palace.
The two of them didn't come early, and when they entered the living room, the people from the other wealthy families in Shuozhou had already arrived, but the Lu family Lu Xin was missing.
But the crowd didn't find it strange.
As the largest clan in Shuozhou, Lu Xin must put on a shelf, others can wait for him, he can't wait for others.
After everyone waited for half a pillar of incense in the living room, Lu Xin came followed by his son Lu Bang.
As soon as Lu Xin entered the living room, everyone immediately got up to greet him, and Lu Xin waved his hand slightly, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, please sit, please sit." ”
After hearing Lu Xin's words, everyone sat down one after another.
And not long after everyone sat down, Li Yu walked in from behind.
"The prince has arrived." Cui Tong shouted, but no one from the wealthy family got up, only after Tang Yu came in, he sat at the table and bowed to Li Yu, the situation was very different from before, as if Li Yu, the identity of the prince, was not in a hurry to be a head of the Lu family.
Seeing this situation, Cui Tong frowned slightly, but at this time, Li Yu didn't care, and after sitting down directly in the position of the master's house, he said, "You are all people with heads and faces in Shuozhou, and you are willing to come to the palace to enjoy the light, that is to give face to the king, please come today, there is nothing else, that is, there are a batch of good things in the palace, I want to share it with you." ”
At this time, Li Yu was not in the mood to deal too much with these wealthy people, so after coming in, he directly told his purpose.
Although everyone looked down on Li Yu, the prince, they were still very curious about the good things he said, and they stretched their necks to look.
After Li Yu slapped his palms twice, he saw a group of maids rushing in, and each maid had four side dishes in his hands.
These four dishes are all made with tofu, and they are so beautifully made that you can't help but have an appetite after taking a look.
The people of these wealthy families couldn't help frowning slightly when they saw that Li Yu just ordered someone to bring a few small dishes, although they had never seen such a dish, but those who regarded the dishes as good things were too underestimated by them, right?
The atmosphere in the living room was a little solemn, everyone looked at Lu Xin, as long as Lu Xin was the first to attack, they would definitely follow, but Lu Xin only smiled lightly, and didn't seem to have any opinion on this.
"Lord Wang, these delicacies look really good, I don't know what they are made of?" Lu Xin asked with a smile, he had already guessed yesterday that Li Yu had brought so many poor people to the mansion, and he must be short of money, and he felt that Li Yu came to them to ask them for money.
