It's a family feast!

Li Er did not attend the family banquet as the emperor, but as the second brother of Li Yuanxing.

In Li Yuanxing's Qinwangzhuang, there were also some guests, Confucian scholars who had been arguing over the issue of chairs and round tables last time, and other celebrities.

There is also recuperation here, in fact, it has improved greatly, but it was coaxed by Li Yuanxing to stay, and the Datang household department issued silver, and Li Yuanxing used it for free. and a guest from Silla, Kindman.

In the living room of the conference, there were only two large round tables, and then there were small square tables for each person.

It is still a soft couch, but Li Yuanxing has some small modifications, such as this soft couch is not placed on the ground, Datang is not so poor that everyone sits on the floor, this soft couch is actually placed on a square bench, you can sit on your knees if you want, you can sit cross-legged if you want, even if it is a stool to sit on, there is naturally no problem.

And on the left side, there is also a five-inch-wide armrest, which you can lean on when you are tired.

"Your Highness didn't use the round table, Dashan." Before Yao Silian took his seat, he said to Li Yuanxing unceremoniously.

This is the Tang Dynasty, not the whip dynasty of later generations, and it will not make people kneel down at every turn. Although it is said that the hierarchy is strict, it is definitely not the kind of strict law that requires kowtowing at a higher level, and the etiquette is not about kneeling!

"Today is not a banquet, just a normal lunch. When my brother came to my village, he naturally had dinner together. You are also guests of my village, these days are really busy, and I haven't had a meal together, it's rude for this king. ”

Banquet,.

Li Yuanxing would never say the word banquet in front of these old guys. Otherwise, they can set you up with hundreds of rules.

For example, who holds a banquet of what size, how to arrange the dancers and singers of the banquet, etc......

Eating is to have a meal, don't make it so complicated.

Du Ruhui heard the meaning of Li Yuanxing's words, smiled and saluted Li Eryi in the first seat, and sat in his place.

Li Yuanxing said to have a light meal, but Cui Dunli didn't think so, from the arrangement of the seats to the order of serving. He has a very detailed arrangement. The concubines of the King of Qin sat behind the screen with the guest Jindeman. They don't meet anyone else directly. Only Wu Cao, who had just returned from Yaozhou, sat next to Li Yuanxing, because she was young, she could say whatever she wanted.

"The first way, the prosperous Tang Dynasty!"

Heard Zheng He report the name of the dish. Li Yuanxing was stunned. Li Er smiled. Everyone thought it should be so.

A plate of dumplings, how can you still say that the prosperous Tang Dynasty is coming, Li Yuanxing can't think of it. It doesn't mean that Cui Dunli and the chefs can't think of it.

Li Yuanxing eats dumplings. Eighteen kinds of skins and more than 70 kinds of fillings are prepared, steamed, fried, fried, roasted, and boiled. You can make a thousand different kinds of dumplings. You must know that in the Defa Long Dumpling Restaurant in the ancient city, eating a dumpling banquet costs at least 188 yuan per person, Li Yuanxing couldn't afford to eat it before, and now he has no effort.

Back to Datang, it is natural to make a whole play.

The first dish came up, a small bowl per person, nine dumplings per bowl, nine colors, and nine fillings.

Cui Dunli got up and said: "This first course, a collection of five grains, four animals, and eighty-one kinds of vegetables, I want my Tang Dynasty to have a bumper harvest of five grains, and four animals are prosperous, which is the time of prosperity." ”

"Great!" Li Er was the first to lift the bowl. Everyone here, including Wu Cao. In addition to Li Yuanxing, the prosperous Tang Dynasty!

Li Yuanxing just opened his mouth and didn't make a sound.

The dumplings in this small bowl are made of clear soup, which is not ordinary, it is a broth, but it is like clear water. Dumplings are the size of pearls, and they are definitely something for chefs to practice their craft.

"The second way, hard work and wealth!"

White dough, celery and pork filling. Li Yuanxing began to be convinced, he really can't underestimate the literati, they can say everything very beautifully, and add a very interesting allusion.

Celery has been available in China since the Han Dynasty, and it is a very common dish on the table of the common people.

"The third way, spring is full of the world!"

Li Yuanxing didn't bother to guess what this dish was, anyway, when he watched the maids divide the dishes on the big round table from a distance, and then prepare to divide one for each table, it was obviously the practice of modern fried buns in later generations, but the size was only one-third of the size of fried buns.

At the thirty-sixth time, Wu Cao pulled his long legs and lay down, and his stomach was round.

The most powerful one of the seven concubines of King Qin, Zheng Xiuyan insisted to the one hundred and third way.

Li Yuanxing was full when he was in his sixties, and called Zheng He: "Don't give this king any more, this king's share will be rewarded to the guards." And the princess's ones, don't waste them. Before it's cold, give it to the guards or maids! ”

Li Yuanxing is also worried about it, and the personal maids have already started.

Li Er approached Li Yuanxing's finger and secretly pointed to the other side of the screen, Li Yuanxing saw that Jindeman was still eating unhurriedly, and at this time, the little eunuch who replaced Zheng He was reporting the number of the one hundred and thirty.

"Good appetite!" Li Yuanxing smiled.

Wu Cao sneered evilly beside him: "The poor ghost from a poor place naturally has a large amount of food!" ”

"You girl!" Li Yuanxing gently patted Wu Cao's head.

In fact, many of the old guys have long since stopped eating, but they want to see what else is going on.

The Silla princess Jindeman, who was the first in combat power and had a graceful figure, finally put down her chopsticks, and by this time it had reached one hundred and ninety-nine. Li Yuanxing said to Li Er with a smile: "Brother Huang, I don't know if this Silla princess is full, or if she is eating alone when she sees it, she is a little embarrassed!" ”

"You, bastard!" Li Er scolded with a smile.

Wu Cao turned over from Li Er's side at this time and sat next to Li Er: "Brother Huang, it's better to open a shop in Chang'an, so that the merchants who come and go can also see the food of our Chang'an." The foreigners also saw what it meant to eat, and how their half-cooked raw mutton could compare to our Datang! ”

"Good, good!" Li Er should have gone down.

Wu Cao hurriedly beckoned and motioned for Chunlan to bring pen and ink: "Brother Huang, please give me a name!" ”

Li Er did not refuse, and said after picking up the pen: "The dumplings are from the Eastern Han Dynasty medical saint Zhang Zhongjing. Then let's call it, Lookout Tower! ”

Get rich! Wu Cao secretly made a gesture of victory.

After Li Er wrote the name of the building, Wu Cao did not let go of these Confucians and celebrities. Carrying his skirt, he ran over, and went down the table to let people leave Mobao. "You are a great Confucian, this dumpling is our famous Chinese food, naturally let the strangers see it, after you taste it, there are always some feelings, write a poem!"

Yao Silian faced Wu Cao, and he really couldn't refuse.

Yao Silian wrote.

The rest of the celebrities and scholars didn't wait for Wu Cao to come over, so they wrote in advance.

"Everyone, Wangjinglou eats dumplings in the palace, see who can eat the thousandth kind first!" Wu Cao happily took the roll of paper.

"Brother Huang, let's raise taxes!" As soon as Li Yuanxing spoke, Wu Cao almost dropped the scrolls in his hand to the ground.

Li Yuanxing didn't care about Wu Cao's thoughts, and continued: "Buying grain for a living, grain tax cannot be increased. Added wounded people! However, buying gold, powder, and brocade is for the sake of wealth, and the courtier's brother proposed to increase the luxury tax, which goes to the national treasury and is earmarked for special purposes, just to relieve the poverty of the victims! ”

"It's feasible, Gorou has a seal, and Tianying Pavilion will discuss it!"

Li Er would not publicly approve of anything now, unless he discussed it privately with Li Yuanxing, and he didn't consider the matter of Tianying Pavilion at all.

But Li Yuanxing can put it forward in public, so it is a wise decision to put it in Tianying Pavilion.

Not only did he respect the rights of Tianying Pavilion, but he also saved himself some brainpower.

"Brother Huang, ordinary noodle restaurants are full. The lookout tower is for good food, and this should be different. An increase in the tax should also be made. ”

Li Er smiled, didn't answer Li Yuanxing immediately, just said: "Drive Chang'an!" ”

Wu Cao's eyes were already breathing fire, and the celebrities and scholars were all snickering, and after Li Er left, they also left their seats one after another. They all understand that Wu Cao, a dumpling house, will inevitably make a fortune. This tax increase also allows the treasury to collect some money, which seems to be a good thing. It can be regarded as the Qin Wangfu taking the lead in paying this luxury tax.

Wu Cao jumped in front of Li Yuanxing.

Without waiting for Wu Cao to speak, Li Yuanxing said: "The wool is out of the sheep!" Make the dumplings bigger and the plate bigger. If you want to eat a thousand kinds, I am afraid it will be difficult in a few years, and it will save manual work if you are larger. Don't earn this money alone, open a few more branches, and pull a few more helpers! ”

"You're getting better!" Wu Cao whispered.

"The mentality has changed, and the thinking has naturally changed!" Li Yuanxing took out a cigarette, knocked it and put it in his mouth.

Wu Cao wanted to say something, Li Yuanxing's hand pressed on Wu Cao's head: "Follow me to the study, I have something to ask you!" ”

Li Yuanxing's expression was too serious, which made Wu Cao a little nervous.

Someone will naturally handle the matter of tidying up the living room, which is the advantage of being a nobleman.

In the Tang Dynasty, let alone aristocrats, even wealthy small families also have the habit of buying slaves. You say you're rich and you don't have a few slaves at home, just like in modern times you say you're rich, but you live in a compound.

Datang, the social atmosphere of slaves, what Li Yuanxing wants to change is not the slave system, but to give slaves a hope.

After coming to the front of several princesses, Li Yuanxing said softly: "The female guest is handed over to you, and the rest of the guests Cui Changshi will naturally deal with it, this king has some official business, don't disturb this king if it is not important." ”

In Li Yuanxing's study, only Li Yuanxing and Wu Cao were inside, and Qiu Xiang and others were not allowed to enter.

There was curiosity in my heart, but several princesses could also understand, so they didn't ask anything.

Li Yuanxing closed the door of the study, then sat in front of the computer, did not speak, but opened a document, adjusted the input method to the simplified part, and then typed a row of words.

"Tell me, what else did you do in Datang without my permission?" (To be continued......)
