Chapter 140: The Emperor Summons
Wei Renshi bought gifts, and used the time of the past few days to visit the neighborhood and get to know each other.
In this era, the relationship with the neighborhood is still very important, because the evaluation of you by the neighbors determines your reputation to a certain extent.
And in this era, fame is not really talking, it is really "realizable".
That's why Wei Renshi asked Yimenglou to build the river embankment with all his heart, so the other ninth-floor pavilions would think of the benefits of Yimenglou after seeing the practice of Yimenglou, and they would quickly intervene.
Speaking of the river embankment outside Luoyang City, Wei Renshi was not too worried. Xu Mingli, an experienced river embankment advisor, was there to lead, and the two of them had also communicated in detail about Wei Renshi's planning, Xu Mingli had fully understood what Wei Renshi meant, so Wei Renshi was not afraid of not repairing according to his purpose.
Xu Mingli was originally very interested in the equipment on the embankment construction site, and in order to get their practice, he was very concerned about the matter of the embankment outside Luoyang City.
Now that he has learned that Wei Renshi has become a county man canonized by the imperial court and has become a nobleman, he will naturally work harder.
It's a dream building and a winery, Wei Renshi feels that it should start to develop in Chang'an.
Yimenglou aside, this shop is not so easy to find. But the winery must be built near Chang'an.
As for the place, it is naturally in its own fiefdom in Weinan.
It seems that I am going to find a time to go to Weinan. Wei Renshi thought.
"Childe, Mr. Zhang knocked on the door with a few people, saying that he was here to find Childe." Just as he was thinking about it, the porter ran over, came to him, saluted, and said.
"Let them in." Wei Renshi nodded.
Not long after, Zhang Ji, Liu Yuxi, Liu Zongyuan, and Han Yu went to the back together.
"The scenery of this courtyard is extremely beautiful, congratulations to Wei Langjun." Liu Yuxi said to Wei Renshi with a smile.
Zhang Ji sighed and said, "Miss Huang can understand better than me. β
When Wei Renshi heard him say this, he knew that he had finally figured out the joint, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, it's not that you can't understand it, you are concerned about it." However, Miss Huang didn't leave you a letter, and you went to find her for a while. β
"We don't listen to Zhang Caizi's romance, we only care about the roast and shabu that I said some time ago." Liu Yuxi smiled: "Take us to have a look." β
"Okay." Wei Renshi had already prepared his things, and led everyone to a garden. There was a small open space in the garden, paved with stones, and there were stone tables and benches on top of it, which were used as tea tables.
There was a barbecue grill next to the stone table, the one that Wei Renshi had asked the blacksmith to make.
Below is a long place to put charcoal fire, the top is divided into three sections, one section is a grilling net, the other end is an iron plate, and in the middle is a garden hoop, which is used for hot pot and shabu shabu.
Let the subordinates bring Hu Ji to teach a few people to sit down, and let people go to the stove to get the fire pit and pour it into the barbecue grill, and then put charcoal on it, and soon, the fire inside will be burning.
Wei Renshi marinated the meat in advance, let the subordinates wear it into skewers, and at this moment they all served it, and in the blink of an eye, a stone table was placed.
"Let you try my craft first!" Wei Renshi said with a smile.
As he spoke, he put the iron skewer on the barbecue grill, brushed the oil, and smeared the material.
Soon, a scent spreads.
Wei Renshi took out other condiments and began to sprinkle them up, took a brush to oil, and with the sound of sizzling oil splashes, the surrounding air suddenly diffused a vision that attracted saliva. After a while, Wei Renshi took down the string of iron skewers, then handed them to a few people, and said, "This is good, taste it first, the end of the iron skewers is very hot, be careful not to burn it." β
As he spoke, he pulled out two strings from the middle, ate a few bites first, and nodded: "Yes, the craftsmanship is still there." β
Several people had already smelled the vision and were salivating, so they immediately took the skewers handed by Wei Renshi, followed Wei Renshi's appearance, opened their mouths to tear off the things on the iron skewers, chewed a few bites, and swallowed them. Then his eyes immediately widened.
"Delicious!" Liu Zongyuan let out an exclamation.
"Isn't it a hundred times stronger than the barbecue you've eaten before!" Wei Renshi looked at them with a shocked look on his face and smiled.
Zhang Ji exclaimed: "Not bad! I've also eaten a lot of grilled meat, but none of them can compare to what Wei Langjun makes! Heyβdream, and leave me one! β
Wei Renshi smiled: "It's done, this barbecue grill is so long, you can eat whatever you want to eat and bring it to yourself and grill it yourself." The joy of barbecue is to do it yourself and have plenty of food and clothing. Pick your own hand, roast and mature things by yourself, and it tastes the best, so I don't believe you can try it. β
A few people were very amused, when even in the past to bake it by hand.
Wei Renshi gave up his position and went over to make a teppanyaki himself.
Everyone chooses what they want to eat and roasts it by themselves, and at first they naturally can't grasp it, so they ask this and that from time to time, and a lot of it is baked, and everyone laughs, and it is even stranger than seeing whose taste is stranger!
But soon, a few people became proficient, and the baked food became more and more delicious.
"Yes, yes, fun!" Han Yu smiled: "Wei Langjun is really kind and interesting!" β
Wei Renshi was about to answer, but he saw the porter running over again, and when he got closer, he saluted and said, "Prince Qiyu, there is an inner servant outside, saying that it is a messenger of the saint and summoning you to the palace." β
"What?!" Everyone was taken aback: "Waiter? β
Wei Renshi was shocked, he had just bought a house, and he would be able to find the door!
"Come in." Wei Renshi frowned, and said to Gou Er: "Second Brother Gou, don't eat it first, go and prepare two pieces of money." β
Gou Er nodded and quickly left.
Soon, he took the money to the main hall, and Wei Renshi had already arrived there and met the attendant.
"I didn't know this chamberlain was coming." Wei Renshi stepped forward and said.
"Don't dare, the slave is here to preach the sage's message." The chamberlain bowed and said, "The sage has a decree, and it is rumored that Wei Renshi, a man from Weinan County, will immediately enter the palace to meet him." β
Wei Renshi bent down to answer the order and said, "Yes, this will go with the inner servant." Thank you for the messenger, thank you for your hard work. β
As he spoke, he glanced at Dog Er. The second dog took the money and stuffed the usual money into the hands of the waiter.
Seeing that Wei Renshi's shot was directly consistent, the waiter immediately showed joy on his face, and with a flip of his hand, he put the consistent copper coin into his sleeve, and immediately smiled, and said, "Slave, thank you for the reward!" β
Wei Renshi smiled and asked again, "Dare to ask this chamberlain, I don't know what happened when the saint suddenly summoned me?" β
The chamberlain received Wei Renshi's money and replied, "How can the slave and maid guess the mind of the saint? But Lord Wei rest assured, the saint is in a good mood today, maybe it's not a bad thing. β
The chamberlain can't be too clear, only hinted.
When Wei Renshi heard this, he smiled again: "Thank you for this waiter." β
After that, Dog Er stepped forward and stuffed the copper coin again.
The waiter was shocked and happy, his face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Ouch, Lord Wei is really generous." Slave and maid, thank you Lord Wei for the reward! β
After that, the chamberlain took the money, rolled his eyes, looked left and right, and suddenly stepped forward and whispered: "The slave maid heard that it was the sage who heard that Lord Wei had bought a mansion in Chang'an City, and I heard that Lord Wei had only spent more than half a year to become wealthy. Only then did he summon Lord Wei. Hehe, the inner treasury is not abundant, and the saint is also thrifty, to say a big disrespectful word, those of us who are slaves and maids are distressed when they look at it! β
After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Wei Renshi, then returned to his original appearance, and said with a light smile: "Lord Wei, the saint is still waiting, let's go." β
