Chapter 159: The Extra Gift Box
It is indeed an astronomical amount of money to build a palace and a charity hall, in this way, even if Zhao Yan has a little money now, it is far from enough!
"I donated five million taels, which is almost all my personal savings." Wu Chengji said.
Li Chunqin: "Then I will also donate five million taels." ”
Zhao Li: "Count this prince as one, tomorrow I will ask someone to go to the money to transfer the money to your name." ”
"And us, two million per person, after all, we can't eat and drink for nothing in you, don't you say?" At this time, Sun Wucheng said.
Fu Xiumin shrugged: "I have no opinion. ”
"I don't have an opinion either!"
Everyone nodded, only Chifeng, who raised his hand a little embarrassed: "That ......"
"Do you have a problem?" Yan Rixing frowned slightly, obviously, he, the prince, was a little angry, after all, everyone had no problem, so what else did he have a problem?
As the county official of Yan Kingdom, isn't Chi Feng a disgrace to their Yan Kingdom?
Qi Feng scratched his head in shame and said: "Lord, I am a family person, the old mother in the family has not been very good, and the monthly expenses are almost used as the money on the body, and there are children and wives to take care of, and there is no money left, so I can only give a million taels at most." ”
"That's it! I'll pay for you the remaining one million taels. ”
"Stop!"
Listening to their conversation, I finally couldn't help but shout to stop.
"I said, I asked you to donate money, not to empty your pockets, I mean to let you do your part for those poor people within the scope of your ability, do your best, just do your best, not let you come to the competition who donates more, especially in the case of chaffon, where there is already money in the family, if you donate all the money, in case your mother has something to do in case you need money, what will you do? You've got to save some money, don't you? ”
Chi Feng was so trained that he couldn't raise his head: "Yes, I know it's wrong, then I'll donate 100,000 taels, and I'll keep the rest for my mother and children." ”
"That's right!" I nodded: "I have to go to Yan Country when I go back, after all, I still have a five-year appointment with your Emperor Yan, and I will show your mother when the time comes." ”
Chi Feng immediately smiled happily: "Thank you, Lord Zhao Yan." ”
"With a gesture, thank you is not necessary, and you, at most you can only donate one-tenth of your property, remember, it is your own, not your family, what you earn yourself, is yours, the hard-earned money of your family, you are not qualified to mess with half a cent, unless your family wants to donate, understand?"
Hearing this, everyone could only nod, and then donated again, and this time, the highest was only Zhao Li and Yan Rixing, the two princes and princes, they both donated one million taels, and Wu Chengsi and Li Chunqin were only 800,000 taels, of which except for Chifeng's 100,000 taels, the others were 30 to 500,000 taels.
After hearing how much they wanted to donate, I nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, do your best, it's not a competition." ”
Just now, the three of them all donated 5 million taels, and the others were 2 million taels.
It's really enough, this will all add up to more than five million taels, this amount I can accept, because this money is nothing in their eyes, and it will not affect them in the future, so I can take it with peace of mind.
Otherwise, like Chifeng, if he donates all his money, what will happen to his wife in the future? He himself is worried about money again?
Or just watch the old lady have no money to treat the sick and die?
This is an unacceptable practice, so if Chiffon really wants to donate one million taels, I will not agree.
Three days later, it was my birthday, my birthday was in the villa, on this day, in addition to inviting Wu Chengsi, Li Chunqin, Zhao Li and them, I also invited Sun Wucheng and others who came back with me, even the villagers of Hongyan Village, Tom Chen, Da Lang and their family, and then the mother and girls of Lanxi Building, were invited, so the whole birthday banquet was also very lively.
"I feel like everyone is here today, and then today's barbecue takes the mode of self-reliance, what you want to eat, you can burn it yourself, no, look at the paper on the table next to the charcoal stove, there is a step that says barbecue, so this is also a secret recipe, and it is absolutely delicious to grill it."
When I heard that it was a secret ingredient, everyone's eyes lit up, and they were all eager to try.
So, after a while, three or five of them leaned against a charcoal stove, stared at the paper, looked at the way of the barbecue, and then tried.
However, although the steps are written on it, some people are born with a young master's life, and some things can never be learned, so soon, a few people were eliminated, because these people didn't even know what kind of food to bake to brush oil or something, and some couldn't even distinguish between oil and honey, so they either baked everything or got the ingredients wrong.
Seeing them staring at the chicken leg in their hands with a dirty face, the depression in their eyes made me laugh.
"You idiots, you can write so clearly, you can still bake like this, in this regard, you are also a genius."
Yan Rixing glared at the first and said angrily: "Nonsense, it's obvious that you didn't write clearly how long you want to roast, how can you blame us!" ”
Wu Chengsi: "This second master has never been in the kitchen since he was a child, so I don't know what's strange, and those ingredients obviously look the same, who knows that they are not born by the same father." ”
Zhao Li said with an indifferent face, and said seriously: "It's not that this prince can't, he disdains to do it himself, so when this prince is too lazy to turn it, it was scorched by charcoal fire, and it has nothing to do with this prince." ”
Drink~
Absolutely, this answer is really good.
Why don't they know to answer that?
As soon as they heard Zhao Li's words, everyone raised a big finger at him and looked at him with admiration.
Hearing this, I was also stunned, and when I came back to my senses, I laughed again: "You are really amazing, I have to admire you, obviously you are scorched by yourself, but you are all thanks to other people's chicken legs are not good, and other people's chicken legs will not avenge their grievances, you can rest assured!" ”
Hearing this, everyone also laughed.
Can chicken legs get revenge?
What are you kidding, this is not to make it clear that it is to say: Have you ever seen a chicken leg that will turn over on its own?
The whole birthday party was carried out in such a lively situation, and after that, it was me and Dong Ting Wanyun who roasted one for them, and then accompanied it with wine, eating and drinking at the same time.
After we had eaten and drunk enough, everyone sent congratulatory gifts, but one of them was not signed, and I don't know who sent it.
"Who sent this?" I held up the gift box, because everyone's gift boxes were put together, and I don't know who put them in, but I was sure that it was given by someone present.
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and then they all shook their heads.
"Neither?"
Seeing this, I felt even more strange.
Dong Ting also stepped forward to take a look, counted the gifts again, and then found a very strange problem.
"County Lord, according to the number of people, the gifts here are enough, and this is an extra amount."
Extra?
In this case, both me and everyone else were stunned, because it was completely unexpected.
"An unsigned gift, and it's an extra gift, and you all shake your heads and say it wasn't from you, can we all be the hell? We were the only ones present at the whole birthday party, and no strangers came in, who sent it? Stand up for me! ”
My words, everyone looked at each other again, but no one stood up, but they all said, "I really didn't send it!" I wrote the name of everything I sent. ”
Wu Chengsi: "Zhao girl, everyone is someone you know well, and there is no reason to fix you or something, maybe someone really put things in while we are not paying attention, or you can open it first and take a look." ”
"Yes! Let's take a look first! Yan Rixing also said.
I glanced down at the gift box in my hand and nodded, but before I could do it, Dong Ting said, "County Lord, be careful of dangerous things in it, let me come!" ”
