Chapter 180: I Am a Clan
'Haha, okay, let's talk while eating. Otherwise, it would be a waste to let everyone eat without knowing the taste. Li Chen smiled and waved his hand to continue serving, "Everyone, please try this, it's a lot of work." ’
When things came up, Li Chen personally operated for the old man just now, served the staple food on the table, slice it first, and then took out a thin pie crust, two slices of meat and green onions, wrapped it in it, and then coated with sauce, and a freshly baked roast duck was completed.
'Come, Elder Xue, you're invited. Li Chen handed the cake to Xue Lao, "Then Lao Er is welcome." 'This Xue Lao is the oldest and has the highest status, and besides, this one has seen the world, so he can be completely welcome.
'Ladies and gentlemen, please. The servant brought the things to each of the guests, and everyone began to eat the roast duck, and of course the results were full of praise.
Excuse me, and Li will tell you the purpose of inviting you all. After Li Chen also ate a piece of roast duck, he said, "Li invited everyone to come here in order to build a theater." As soon as Li Chen's words came out, the scene was a little cold, everyone present looked at each other, and finally put their eyes on Xue Lao.
'Haha, don't look at Xue Lao. If it's just an ordinary theater, why bother to invite you? Li Chen has a very villainous taste, and laughed, "Li wants to build more than one theater, and the pattern, please see here." Li Chen motioned to the servants to drive him out of the theater or to display the pattern of Vasher. Everyone present passed it on one after another, and Li Chen said with a smile.
There are about ten such theaters, and Li is in a hurry, so I want to invite you to do it together. Li Chen wanted the servant to show another picture, "This is a panoramic view, in the middle of each theater, there must be a corridor around the eaves, and the theater can communicate with each other." ’
This kind of building is a little bit new. After looking at the picture, they replied. Novelty, but no difficulty, Xufu craftsmen can do it, these Yangzhou craftsmen are even more powerful.
If that's all the time, then why did Li expect everyone to come. Li Chen smiled and let the servant take the third picture. The so-called all materials are called all craftsmen. In a project, they are responsible for the technical gatekeeping. It's almost the meaning of a modern engineer.
We may have heard that if a project goes wrong, the project must be killed. It is recorded in the Tang Dynasty that "all the royal boats, those who are not firm by mistake, are strung by craftsmen". Not all of these artisans will be killed. It's the Materialsmith who will be killed.
Usually when a project is completed, there will be a genus name, saying that someone built it in which year, month, and day, that is the master of materials, and other general idle people do not have such status, only the chief engineer, the master of materials can write. Therefore, to kill him is to kill him.
It is not easy to become a master of materials, not everyone is qualified, and if you don't do well, you will be beheaded. Therefore, many of the craftsmen will be given official positions and will be respected on various occasions.
In addition to the Smith, there is also a trumpet. But this one isn't so remarkable. In ancient times, there was no machinery, and it was necessary to rely on manpower to pull any material. The head of the trumpet is to shout the trumpet, shout one, two, one, two, two, so that the person who exerts force has a rule to follow. This position is not as skilled as a craftsman, so it is not so valuable.
'This thing.... All the people in the audience looked at each other. I expected to be able to become a skilled and well-informed person, but I haven't seen this strange picture drawn by Li Chen, "How about it, it shouldn't be difficult, but Li has a little request, first of all, in terms of time, it may be more rushed." The second is this picture, which must be met. ’
'Dare to ask this Langjun, which temple is this to be built as a theater?' In the end, it was Xue Duliu who asked, "It's not a temple, it doesn't seem that only temples can build theaters." ''What about location?'' It's near the big city. Shanhefang, Yangzhou is famous in Fengyue District, everyone here is a local, and there is no unclear.
Is this a big prostitute?' Of course not, it's just that there's a lot of people over there. This time, Li Chen always felt that it was better not to put a building like the Qinglou in the tile house, just as a place for drinking and having fun, watching operas and listening to music.
'Well, are you all interested?' Li Chen smiled and asked, "Whether you really accept it or not, you have to see the scene." Xue Du gave a conservative answer, "If there is no problem on the site, the construction will be carried out according to the drawings given by the owner." If there is a problem on the spot, the drawings will be changed, but this job must have been taken.
After the matter was finished and he was full of wine and food, Li Chen asked Wei Xuan to send a few masters out for him. As soon as I left the house, one of them expectedly asked, 'I haven't even asked the price yet.' ''Stupid. A man next to him was so friendly that he patted him on the head, "Do people talk about money?" If you want to talk about it, the housekeeper will talk about it later. ’
'Yes, people don't miss that little bit ago. I don't know which family this is. One of them agreed, "A certain family also thinks that they have eaten and drunk, but they have never tasted such deliciousness, and even the vegetarian dishes are so delicious." "It's not just the food, the wine, but it's the drunken red dust that is used to killing one stone." It's really pestering, I heard that the Xu Mansion is out of stock, and I don't know when I can buy it. ’
Li Chen's purpose of inviting guests to eat has been achieved, the so-called three generations to see through the food, and the five generations to see through. In modern society, everyone loves food and information is developed, and this process may be a little shorter, but in ancient times, there were no generations to inherit, and there was no way to experience the life of a real family.
Even in modern times, many people's actions are deserved with the word nouveau riche. Don't wear clothes that aren't brand-named, and don't buy clothes that aren't expensive. But I don't know that people are really rich, and they have long looked down on those things, and people wear them all tailor-made, and those who don't know how to do it must think that this is a miscellaneous brand, but they don't know that they are the real buns.
'You boys, you will eat and drink. Listening to everyone's conversation, Xue Lao spoke, "The master's demeanor is the demeanor of the world that cannot be disguised." The real style is not only manifested in eating and dressing. Li Chen knew this, but he didn't know how to imitate it. However, he was arrogant in order to cross the crowd, so that he was an old thief in Xue Lao, who was old and a thief, and he didn't show his stuffing.
Seeing everyone away, Li Chen was in a good mood. The Qi family sent someone to deliver the contract in the morning and gave the tooth man an intermediary fee, and Li Chen asked Wei Xuan to go to the official mansion to finalize the contract.
(No money.) …。 The mood was a little better, and Li Chen remembered the bad things again. He carefully prepared a delicious meal, in addition to sincerely entertaining all the materials, so that they could do their best during the construction, there was also a layer of expression that a certain family has an identity and a background.
In addition to brightening the background, so that some people who are looking for trouble dare not come to find trouble, there is also that he has no money for the time being, and he wants to use his identity background to bluff people for the time being. (To be continued.) )
