Chapter 42: The Thirteen Elders
[Good and harmonious society, the two ** in the previous chapter represent the general . Elected, I can't change it]
Fortunately, the chefs have seen a lot of this situation, thinking that when the original food was just opened, the turtles in Chang'an looked at the thick menu, and the brightly colored dishes on it were also difficult to start.
Therefore, the little apprentice brought by Cao Yuchen enthusiastically explained to everyone what are the characteristics of each dish: "Dao Chief, who are you?" ”
"Oh, I'm from Jiangnan Xidao"
"Understood, come and try this, this is a small fried meat from the farmhouse, it tastes to ensure that you are satisfied, and this tomato scrambled egg, plus some garlic lettuce to ensure that you have a great appetite, by the way, you go over there to make a bowl of seaweed soup, we can take care of the rice, oh, forget, and then I will clip a chicken leg for you, you go slowly, the next one, hey, oh, Lingnan, that is far away, come and try this, especially for the seafood prepared for you over there"
"Hey, thank you, thank you" The Taoist priest saw that people were very polite and introduced so much to himself, and the dishes were very real, the three pits on the dinner plate were piled up high, and people helped them make a bowl of seaweed soup, and no one cared about the wooden barrel of rice next to it, as well as steamed buns and the like, take it casually, and the Taoist priests felt the sincerity of the national teacher.
After finishing the meal, the Taoist priests gathered around the table in the courtyard to eat, and sat down with each other to chat, "Hey, what kind of dish is that in your bowl?" ”
"I don't know, they told me what tomato scrambled eggs called, I know eggs, what are tomatoes?"
"What's the matter, just taste it" The one who spoke was not polite, and directly put a chopstick in the other party's plate and threw it into his mouth, "Well, yes, it's delicious, sour, you taste it"
The Taoist priest who was robbed of the meal also took a chopstick tomato and tasted it, and his eyes lit up after eating, "Well, it's good, it's delicious, hey, what is this red thing" After speaking, he sandwiched a dried chili pepper and threw it in his mouth, and the next scene can almost be described as chaos.
All kinds of squirting rice, called spicy or delicious anyway, there are all kinds of expressions, and the Taoist priests from near Chang'an and Luoyang did not have such a big reaction, after all, the building near the water has the first month, and people have long enjoyed the nourishment of modern dishes, but they had to spend money before, and today it is provided for free, as long as they are not afraid of death.
A lunch brought the hawkers and the Taoist priests closer, and through this incident, it was proved once again that a meal was the best way to bring them closer.
After a short break at noon, the Taoist priests began to return to carefully observe the resumes of the 50 candidates, and after two o'clock in the afternoon, Taoist priests began to cast their ballots one after another into the transparent ballot box next to the rostrum.
Until five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was about to set, and the hawker announced the end of voting, "Okay, everyone's votes are all over, now I invite my senior brother Lai Shizheng and Zizhen Dao Chang to sing the votes together"
At noon, the master and Zi Zhen were told by the hawker that they were going to sing votes in the afternoon, and at this time they came out of the crowd and went to the rostrum to signal to Li Er and the hawker, and a Taoist priest poured the ballot on a large table, and placed five whiteboards under the rostrum.
Each whiteboard has the names of ten Taoist priests written in red markers, and a Taoist priest is standing in front of him who is responsible for writing orthography.
Zi Zhen picked up a ballot "Wang Yuanzhi one vote, Qi Hui one vote, Zi Zhen... One vote" Seeing that someone really voted for herself, Zi Zhen was slightly stunned, and wanted to turn over the ticket to see who voted, but she still held back.
Every ballot that has been read will be confirmed by a third party, and the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling were honored to be treated as notaries, and the two of them looked at the ballot papers handed over by the master very carefully, for fear that they would be embarrassed if they made a mistake.
The ballots were sung one by one, and it was getting later and later, but none of the Taoist priests present were willing to leave, because the lights had been lit up around the venue, making the whole venue look like a concert, everyone was curiously waiting for the results, and by the way, study why there are such bright lights, and don't burn oil!
Zi Zhen couldn't speak until the end, and finally after speeding up, the election results came out before nine o'clock.
Looking at the statistical results handed over by the Taoist boy below, the hawker invited Li Er to come to the front of the stage, this will have to be an authoritative figure to speak, Li Er is not the first time that he has been invited by the hawker to be a guest anyway, and he is already very familiar with this routine.
took the microphone and put it on the A4 paper in his hand and glanced at it, "Now I announce the results of this election of the thirteen elders of the Daomen, they are Wang Yuanzhi, Qi Hui, Fu Yi, Zhen Quan, Zi Zhen, Qiu Qingyang, Xu Daomiao...... Congratulations to the above thirteen Dao Chiefs, the Daomen Elders' House will be in charge of you, and I hope that under your leadership, the Daomen will realize the process of three representatives and four modernizations of our Datang as soon as possible, and then I will announce that the results of this election are fair and valid."
"Your Majesty Xie" The thirteen selected Taoist priests walked out of the crowd and came to Li Er and bowed in unison, Li Er encouraged everyone, "In the future, the task of supporting the Daomen will be handed over to you, I hope you can not forget your original intention and carry forward the Daomen"
"In accordance with His Majesty's will"
"Well, go ahead, let's have a few words with the big guys"
The thirteen people turned around and arched their hands towards the Taoist priests in the audience, "Thank you for your love, elect me and other thirteen people to prime minister Taoist affairs, you can rest assured, we swear in front of the ancestor that we will deal with things impartially in the future, if you have selfish intentions, the sky will thunder."
Okay....The other Taoist priests below saw that the thirteen elders made such a heavy oath, and they applauded, you must know that people in this era still attach great importance to oaths, and some things are spit on him as a nail, you try to change the era, and you have to give you 10,000 explanations in black and white, such as your insurance policy!
Thirteen people took the oath, it is officially inaugurated to take office, but there is no time today, it's all this point, the vendor walked to the rostrum, "It's not early, everyone, today's meeting is over, the kitchen has also prepared a rich dinner for everyone, in addition, tonight's lectern will show you a movie, you can come and watch after eating, tonight is Shushan, give you a preventive shot first, the movie is good-looking, the story is pure fiction, everything should not be true"
After saying that, the hawker accompanied the thirteen new elders to a meeting, and there were still a lot of things to explain later, as for the other Taoist priests, I thought that I would be able to eat four dishes and one soup like noon tonight, but I didn't expect it to be gone, but I replaced it with four cold, four hot, four meat and four vegetarian dishes, plus four bowls of noodles.
Eight people at a table, fortunately, everyone is a Taoist priest, pay attention to a face, and there is a foreshadowing of the lunch meal, so there is no fight for a meatball, but no one seems to save the free things for the hawkers, after the banquet, the guys directly brought the plate to the back kitchen and waited for tomorrow to continue to use, no need to brush at all, the food is too clean!
After the meal, each person was given a pack of cigarettes plus a fruit, oranges, apples, bananas to choose from, and everyone carried the things they had been assigned to the podium to watch a movie, anyway, it has been a long time since the hawker brought down the Lu family, even if he knew that the hawker had a big one last time, but no one thought about overturning the case for the Lu family, is it useful, the national teacher is now deep-rooted, and it is the right thing to hurry up!
The Taoist priests sat in front of the screen in groups of three or five and waited curiously for the opening of the movie, the movie that the hawkers showed here, except for Li Yuan, the others were pinched off in front and back in order to avoid suspicion, so as soon as the Taoist priests came up, they saw the plot of the monster appearance.
On the spot, there were a lot of Taoist priests who were supposed to catch ghosts jumped up violently, "Monsters, where to escape" and finally calmed down under the comfort of knowledgeable people, but I went back to sleep at night and never steady, and imagined that there would be monsters in the mirror or on the beam of my house all night!
