People came and went in the Xianyang market, and all the grain loaded in the carriage was transported towards the east gate, Lu Yan thought that it was all donated by officials, so he didn't care at that time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In less than two days, the warehouse at the east gate had been fully filled, and before the construction started, Lu Yan was going to invite everyone to have a meal to celebrate, so he asked the waiter to go to the warehouse to get food.

Naturally, there were some fine grains among them, but most of them were stale grains, and the waiter did not think much about it after a little investigation in the warehouse, and then asked people to carry away five or six bags of grain and put them in the kitchen for backup.

When the chef tore open the sack, he found that there was still sand and gravel in it, and the most important thing was that the rice did not look like it was born this year, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"You go and tell the Hou Ye, and say that there is something wrong with this rice." The chef said to the fireman beside him, and the fireman naturally didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ran towards the place where the Hou Ye lived.

At this moment, Lu Yan is quite happy in his heart, and he is teaching Yingbu some basic etiquette, after all, many things in Xianyang can't be done as you like, and it is still a little good to follow the rules.

"Master Hou, Master Hou, there is something wrong with the rice sent by the official family." The fireman shouted outside before he could enter the door, looking very panicked.

Lu Yan knew that something was happening, so he went out with Yingbu, "Aren't you preparing for a banquet?" Why are you rushing here, isn't there something going on? Lu Yan asked with an unkind face.

"Marquis Qiqi, we should indeed be preparing for a banquet, but the grain sent by those officials is mixed with sand and gravel, and it seems to be old grain." The fireman said helplessly.

"Let's go see how it goes." Lu Yan said that he walked towards the kitchen, and the chef was just pacing back and forth in the room at this moment, and when he heard footsteps outside, he immediately walked out.

Without waiting for the chef to speak, Lu Yan directly pulled out the copper sword on his waist and stabbed it at the sack in front of him, revealing rice with sand and gravel.

"Command you to go down and tear apart all the grain, and see how much of it is in it." Lu Yan said in a deep voice.

The attendants next to him didn't dare to reply at all, and each inspected the grain separately, "Master Hou, who did these people, do you have any clues?" Yingbu said, clutching a handful of grain.

"I naturally know that there is so much surplus food at home, which one is not among the three princes and nine kings, and which one is not a prince and noble." Lu Yan calmed down a little and said.

And the attendants on the other side of the granary have opened the sacks one after another, and some of the grain in them is not only mixed with sand and gravel, but also moldy grain, which is really a bit hateful.

When Lu Yan heard this, he immediately moved to the warehouse, and when he saw the classification of the grain, only more than 100 bags were good rice, and the rest were all moldy and old grain.

"Can you tell the difference?" Lu Yan looked at the sack in front of him and said slowly.

"Master Qiyu, all the portions are good, more than 3,000 bags are old grain, and only 200 bags are good rice." The attendant next to him said tremblingly.

Lu Yan stepped forward and grabbed a handful of rice, half of which was dusty and gravel, "Okay, you Li Si, you dare to play tricks, it's really reasonable." ”

"Master Hou, what should I do next?" Yingbu was originally a reckless man, and when he saw this kind of corrupt thing, he was also angry in his heart, but he was not in charge, so he just asked Lu Yan helplessly.

"Steamed and eaten those hundreds of bags of good rice first, I naturally have a way to deal with these grains and old rice." Lu Yan said very mysteriously.

The surrounding attendants thought that Lu Yan was stupid, and wanted to go up to comfort them, but they were afraid of offending people, "But, Master Hou, this matter can't be just settled." Finally, an attendant couldn't help but say.

"Huh, forget it? It's just one more night to put them at ease. The meaning between the words is obvious.

The banquet went on as usual that day, although everyone seemed to be very happy on the surface, but they were really bored in their hearts, they were already tired from being sent to build the school palace, and they didn't expect to be pitted by the officials, how could they eat happily.

After three rounds of drinking, Lu Yan walked towards the kitchen, and when the chef saw Lu Yan coming, he immediately bowed down to greet him, "Master Hou, is there something wrong?" ”

"Tomorrow morning, you steam rice with old rice, and put the sand and gravel in the pot without washing, and I will send someone to fetch it when the time comes, just do it." Lu Yan said indifferently.

"But Master Hou, I don't know how much old rice to steam?" The chef scratched his head innocently.

Lu Yan's eyes rolled around, "It's about enough for twenty people to eat, remember to only use old rice, and don't need to remove the sand and gravel." ”

"Don't worry, Master Hou, the small ones will definitely do it."

After arranging things, Lu Yan returned to the banquet as if he was nothing, and everyone only thought that Lu Yan went out to relieve himself, and he didn't care too much.

In the early morning of the next day, in the Xianyang Palace, Lu Yan, who was originally the supervisor, came to the palace early, and there was someone outside carrying a cauldron, which was tightly closed with a wooden lid, which was very mysterious.

Ying Zheng heard about this in the back hall, and immediately ordered Zhao Gao to tidy up his clothes and quickly rush to the front hall, and Li Si and the others didn't know what trick Lu Yan was playing again.

In less than a moment, as the ministers rushed in, the monarchs and ministers in the palace saluted, and Yingzheng unconsciously looked at Lu Yan in the queue of ministers.

"Lu Aiqing, why did you come to Chaoshang today with a cauldron, and what is in it?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, this is the food donated by the ministers to the Xue Palace, and the amount is too much, so I specially asked the cook to make a pot and present it to you to taste." Lu Yan bowed and said

Li Si frowned slightly, and immediately stepped out, "This kind of rude thing, thanks to what you Pingnanhou can do, what kind of system will it become above the main hall." ”

However, Ying Zheng waved his hand, thinking that this matter was interesting, and immediately ordered someone to lift the cauldron up, after all, the freshly steamed rice in the morning still emitted heat around the pot.

"Since Lu Aiqing has this intention, you should not be polite." Ying Zheng joked that it was boring to go to court every day, so he also wanted to join in the fun.

When Lu Yan heard Ying Zheng say this, he also had some courage in his heart, and immediately stepped forward and lifted the lid of the pot, which was rice, but there was also sand and gravel, moldy rice, and there was no rice fragrance in the whole hall, but they were all disdainful.

"Pingnanhou, what kind of food is this, and it even allows people to bring it to His Palace." Li Si said a little angrily.

Ying Zheng sat in the hall, and when he saw this situation, he was also a little discordant, but he turned to look at Lu Yan, wanting him to give an explanation.

"Xiangguo, what would happen if people ate this rice?"? Lu Yan asked Li Si rhetorically.

"This rice is moldy, and there is sand and gravel, and if a person eats it, he will definitely have a disease in his stomach." Li Si said impatiently.

Lu Yan just smiled after hearing this, "Does Xiangguo know where this rice comes from?" ”

Li Si also suddenly understood in his heart that these were not the grains he had donated, and Lu Yan's play also made Li Si a little anxious, a little rice was counted, plus the food that Li Si helped the ministers of the DPRK and China, it was a lot.
