The 4th New Year finally arrived, and what Li Ang did not expect was that Cao Anmin spent time in the palace, but brought the queen and the crown prince, and then went to his Zhuangzi to guard the New Year under the escort of the black cavalry battalion, which was unimaginable in the old Han Dynasty, but in terms of the tradition of Great Qin, it was very common, starting from the founding Emperor Taizu, except for the most persistent emperor Wu who was the most persistent in power, the other emperors of the Great Qin dynasties had no shelf, and would often go to the homes of close subordinates.

When they knew that the emperor's holy car was coming, the officers and staff officers who lived in Li Ang Zhuangzi were boiling, for them, seeing the emperor was definitely a matter of pride, so many officers and staff officers who were born in Chang'an and planned to go home continued to stay. Looking at the nervous Liu Yu and Chen Baxian, Li Ang shook his head, in the hearts of the people of Great Qin, the emperor and the Great Qin army have been mythologized, the seven generations of kings before Great Qin, there is no faint monarch, compared with all dynasties, except for the Qin State during the Warring States Period, there is no comparable country, maybe Rome's past Five Sage Emperor period can be compared.

Compared with Chen Baxian and Liu Yu, Li Yanzong, who was born in Fusang, was even more nervous, although he had complained about the emperor for Li Ang, but in his heart, the emperor of Great Qin was a god-like existence, and now this god-like person was coming, and he couldn't help but be nervous.

"Master, Your Majesty is a very good person, you don't have to be too concerned about what to do when you meet, just to..." Seeing that his master was really nervous, Li Cunzhi couldn't help but say on the side, but before his voice fell, he was interrupted by Li Yanzong, "How can you be so-so when you see Your Majesty, how do I usually teach you." ”

Same as Li Yanzong. Trist was also nervous, even though he was now Han Chinese, but it was different after all. For the fanaticism of the whole Zhuangzi, Li Ang didn't know what to say, he didn't think there was anything special with Cao Anmin before, but now he understood the weight of the emperor in the hearts of ordinary people, it was by no means a simple two words, but represented a powerful empire.

Now in the entire Zhuangzi, except for Li Ang, Lin Fengshuang and Feng Siniang, who can still maintain their true colors. Maybe there is only Cui Hao who is not trusted by Li Ang, but fortunately, Cui Hao will not make the whole Zhuangzi mess up, under his severe reprimand, those subordinates remember what they should do from the panic and frenzy, the only thing that makes Cui Hao uncomfortable is that there will be thousands of more rice places in the Zhuangzi at that time, fortunately, when Li Ang built the Zhuangzi, it was built according to the pattern of a big dart game that can accommodate 3,000 to 5,000 people.

"Damn it. Everything has gone up in price. "Three days before Chinese New Year's Eve, Cui Hao, who brought people to the city to purchase, complained, in his opinion, since the emperor came to Zhuangzi, he should bring all those imperial cooks, and now in Zhuangzi, those officers and staff officers who obviously have a home to return to but do not want to go back are extra burdens, plus when the emperor brings the black horse camp, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to be made on the whole Chinese New Year's Eve is simply a bottomless pit.

Thinking of the poor cooks in Zhuangzi, Cui Hao has always been gloomy. couldn't help grabbing his hair, and suddenly he looked at Huang Yuan who came with him fiercely and said, "I don't care what method you use, in short, I must bring thirty chefs back today." Otherwise, when His Majesty comes, let's drink the northwest wind together! ”

Listening to Cui Hao's words, Huang Yuan and the others nodded fiercely, for the arrival of the emperor in three days, they would try their best to bring back all those chefs. Looking at the scattered officers and staff officers, Cui Hao looked at the orphans brought out behind him, and then started the big purchase.

In Da Sima's mansion, Da Sima found his wife, "I heard that Your Majesty is going to Li Xiaozi to keep the New Year." Do you think I'm going to go over? Listening to her husband's question, Aunt Sun laughed, "Of course I'm going." I feel a little annoyed every year at home, it's rare to be so lively this year, how can I miss it. ”

Seeing that his wife agreed, Da Sima nodded, "Then when the time comes, you can prepare and see what things to send?" After saying that, he dozed off again, exactly the same as when he was in the White Tiger Festival Hall.

Also in the governor's mansion, the chief also decided to go to Li Ang's house with Guo Nu to spend Chinese New Year's Eve, although their number of Guogong has a high status in Daqin, but they have always been not prosperous, and every Chinese New Year's Eve is also deserted, it is better to go to Li Ang to make a scene.

In addition to Da Sima and the chief executive, Xun Rizhao's grandfather also started the idea of Li Ang's family, anyway, now the Xun family's main family is him and his grandson, of course, his wives are not counted, otherwise, his family is very lively. "Rizhao, go prepare a gift, and the day after tomorrow we will go to Captain Li's house for Chinese New Year's Eve."

"Hmm." Hearing his grandfather's words, Xun Rizhao nodded heavily, during the time he followed Li Ang, he learned a lot of things, such as the responsibility of men, and he really missed Feng Siniang and them.

"Grandson, people are already married, and even babies are about to be born, so you should break off this thought." Xun Zhan looked at the look on his grandson's face, and suddenly joked on the side, but Xun Rizhao is no longer the Xun Rizhao of the past, listening to his grandfather's banter, he just smiled, "Grandson still likes Siniang very much, but now grandson, as long as she can see her happy, she is very satisfied." Seeing that his grandson didn't blush when he talked about emotional matters like in the past, Xun Zhan couldn't help but secretly say that his grandson had really grown up, and he could rest assured that his old bones would be there even if he went that day.

In the east market of Chang'an, the pots and pans were almost bought out by Cui Hao, and he was reluctant to go to the store to buy those high-quality goods. Although Li Ang did not trust him, Cui Hao had faintly regarded Zhuangzi as his home.

In her eyes, three days later, on Chinese New Year's Eve in Li Ang's Zhuangzi, it is undoubtedly measuring the status of the major families in Chang'an, as far as she knows, the Grand Sima, the chief executive, the Gao family, and the Xun family will all go to Li Ang's Zhuangzi at that time, with their friendship with Li Ang, naturally they will not be rejected, but like other families, it is not necessarily, usually, the family will hold such a thing grandly, and even invite guests, but that Captain Li is not an ordinary person, Miss Zhuge learned from Lin Fengshuang and Feng Siniang, and it is certain that Li Ang is a person who doesn't like to be lively. So other Maisons wanted to participate for three days

The evening feast is very difficult.

"Okay, I'll get people ready." Seeing that Miss Zhuge was to invite the chef of her natural residence to help in Li Ang's Zhuangzi when the time came, Xiu'er agreed without thinking about it, anyway, she was a little tired of spending the New Year at home every year, and her grandfather also asked her to deal well with Li Ang's family, thinking that her grandfather would not care about it when the time came, not to mention that for the family, there was only money left.

Just when Xiu'er was about to go to Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang with Miss Zhuge to say hello, Chen Wende came. And Chen Wende's intention, like that of Miss Zhuge , is to take advantage of this east wind to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in Li Ang Zhuangzi three days later.

The families of Chang'an began to act, and for them, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet at Li Ang's house three days later was related to the family's face problem, so in just three days, Li Ang received so many prayers that he couldn't even remember. In the study. Li Ang looked at the hill-like post and smiled bitterly, he is a person who likes to be quiet, even if it is Chinese New Year's Eve, it is best for him to spend it together as a family, now it is good, it is full of wind and rain in the city, and the major families are eyeing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in three days, as if they will not let them come. Just don't give them face.

Thinking of Cui Hao's whispers about the emperor's arrival in Zhuangzi, Li Ang decided to ask him, what should I do about this matter? For things like this, it shouldn't matter to ask. Leon is the one who wants to do it. After Cui Hao took the centaur back to the village, he found him directly, but before he could speak, Cui Hao had already complained to him, in Cui Hao's eyes, this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was completely a loss-making transaction, everything at home had to be bought, and there were too many things to count.

Cui Hao's complaint was very concise, and Li Ang intuitively understood how much he was going to lose this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. The entire 100,000 gold baht was spent on the expenses of this day, which also gave Li Ang a clear understanding of why the major families would get involved in business. For the family that often holds banquets, if they don't do business, the family can only drink the northwest wind, after all, they hold banquets more than him, pay more attention to pomp, more exquisite utensils.

"It doesn't look like it's going to be easy for the family." Li Ang shook his head and sighed, then looked at Cui Hao and asked about the posts on his desk.

—

Looking at those posts, Cui Hao's eyes gradually glowed, as if he saw a glittering mountain of gold, and withdrew his gaze from the mountain-like posts, Cui Hao looked at Li Ang, "We can borrow the name of Your Majesty and take the opportunity to earn a vote." ”

Listening to Cui Hao's words, Li Ang was stunned, and then soon he understood what Cui Hao meant, Cui Hao asked him to simply sell the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet invitation, thinking that those families would flock to it and have a good profit.

Seeing that Li Ang was a little hesitant, Cui Hao said on the side, "If you think you have a bad reputation, you can get a charity sale at that time, and say that the proceeds will be used for the poor people in Xicheng at that time, and no one will gossip." ”

Li Ang looked at Cui Hao, who had an old face, and couldn't help but be more interested in this man's past, "Okay, just do it, half of what you get when the time comes, you will use it on those people." Li Ang agreed to Cui Hao's request.

Cui Hao frowned, in his opinion, there are many places where the family will need money in the future, but it doesn't matter, the big deal is to raise the price at most and get it back from those families, thinking like this, the corner of Cui Hao's mouth smiled.

Thinking of Cui Hao's smile when he left, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh for those families, he knew that Cui Hao would definitely make those families bleed profusely at that time, but he couldn't say anything, anyway, those families were willing to be slaughtered by knives.

In this way, Li Ang's Zhuangzi was preparing for the dinner party on Chinese New Year's Eve in an unprecedented frenzy, and even the chefs who were forcibly brought back by Huang Yuan, Liu Yu, and Li Yanzong by force knew that the emperor would arrive in three days, and they all had no initial panic, and they all prepared the dishes energetically, and then the family's natural residence also joined in, and Xiu'er lived directly, coordinating the kitchen on Li Ang's mansion as the owner of her natural residence.

At night, after Li Ang sent Lin Fengshuang and Feng Siniang back to the room to sleep, he sat in the chair next to the bed, picked up a new volume from Chang'an Book Society, and read it to Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, because Lin Fengshuang and Feng Siniang felt that his voice was very good, so he took on the responsibility of reading to them every night.

Listening to Li Ang reading quietly, Lin Fengshuang and Feng Siniang looked at each other and smiled, in fact, they liked the festive atmosphere in Zhuangzi these days, and after Li Ang finished reading, Feng Siniang suddenly looked at Li Ang and said, "You said that after Your Majesty and their family come, what dishes should I prepare with Sister Fengshuang to entertain them?" ”

"Aren't there so many chefs! Just take care of yourself. Looking at Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, whose lower abdomen was bulging on the bed, Li Ang said without thinking.

"That's different, this is the first time Your Majesty has come to our house, why should I let them taste our family's unique craftsmanship." "That's right, how to say that we are all hostesses, and we always have to entertain Your Majesty and their family." Lin Fengshuang and Feng Siniang said at the same time.

"Okay, but you can't work too hard." Looking at Lin Fengshuang and Feng Siniang, who insisted, Li Ang agreed, but soon he thought of another question, "What kind of dish is our family's unique craft?" ”

"Of course, it's Sister Feng's secret dog meat pot." Lin Fengshuang laughed, listening to her answer, Li Ang was stunned, and then laughed too, on this cold day, eating dog meat is very good, I don't know if Cao Anmin will like it then.

"This dog meat pot needs to be done well, and this ingredient is very important." Feng Siniang was already muttering, and suddenly her brows fluttered, and she whispered in Lin Fengshuang's ear.

Looking at Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, who were smiling narrowly, Li Ang leaned his head over and asked, "What are you discussing?" ”

"I still need your help in this matter!" Lin Fengshuang smiled and told Li Ang what Feng Siniang told her.

"I thought you were going to be doing well lately, but I didn't expect you to remember that incident?" After listening, Li Ang shook his head.

"Women are inherently stingy." Feng Siniang said on the side, and then laughed with Lin Fengshuang.
