Chapter 40 Extravagance Can Rejuvenate the Country

The so-called hot spring eggs are served a delicate tripod-shaped plate, the seasoning inside is hot, and then the selected eggs are beaten in, the golden is like a small sun, simmered in the hot seasoning sauce to be half-cooked, and it can not be tasted slowly when eating, but it is taken up and sucked into the mouth, smooth and tender, mixed with the selected sauce, the fishy smell of the egg is cleverly suppressed, the taste is very thorough, and the aftertaste is endless.

These dishes are adorned with persimmon leaves, chrysanthemums, reed ears, etc., giving the impression that you are not only eating the taste, but also enjoying the feast for the eyes.

At this time, due to the restrictions of transportation conditions, Lin Fengjin hurriedly made only these dishes, and the staple food at the end was one of the three choices: udon, shrimp wonton, and octopus balls with miso soup.

Lin Fengjin originally thought that the shrimp wonton that should be closest to the Chinese style was the most popular, but no one cared about it, but it was the octopus balls with miso soup that the most people wanted, followed by udon, but the shrimp wonton was not cared for.

After this invitation, the invited ministers all gave this Toeikan a very high evaluation, and the praise was overwhelming.

Even if he is recognized as the most old-fashioned Taoist gentleman, Xu Wei, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, actually shook his head and said that after entering, he can please my eyes, cleanse my body, brush my heart, heal my feet, and treat my belly.

Lin Fengjin didn't say a word, and immediately sent a number of VIP cards for one-year consumption at will, begging the adults to keep the evaluation of the ink treasure, and then Lin Fengjin asked the master carpenter to carve a plaque similar to the threshold couplet, and hung it on the huge wooden sign outside the Zesheng Treasure Hall (now the people of Xijing have known that this thing is called a billboard), and their real ink treasure is placed in the main entrance hall.

In just a few days, being able to be invited by Zesheng Treasure Hall to experience the Dongying Hall for free has become the most popular thing in Xijing City, which can be called the most high-end atmosphere and high-grade thing, and there is no one. Those who were invited felt that it was a status symbol, and they had face, and those who were not invited were even more flocking to it.

As a result, Lin Fengjin was summoned into the palace by Li Jian and was severely reprimanded, which was nothing more than a serious accusation that he had no monarch father, and that there was such a thing as inviting Dongshan goat and these people first, instead of entertaining the monarch.

Lin Fengjin immediately shouted and hit the sky, saying that it was because he was afraid that the hospitality would be inconsiderate, and there was something that would snub the monarch's father. How dare you take out the imperfect things and let the monarch test them? Fortunately, the chief eunuch next to him, Gonggong Hong, is also easing his cheeks, and it is easy to pass the test. But he also promised that he would invite Li Jian to come within seven days. Of course, Lin Fengjin also sent 50,000 taels to Father-in-law Hong afterwards.

Since Li Jian is coming, this guy must eat and drink for nothing, take it for nothing, Lin Fengjin is of course not a person who is willing to suffer, he thought about it, and actually let out the rumors, and first voted for Li. invited Yin Chenkan of Xijing Mansion and Zhumo of the Ministry of Household Affairs to accompany him.

These two people actually don't like to enjoy pleasure, and even Zhu Mo is a Taoist master, and he usually criticizes Lin Fengjin's actions. But what kind of occasion is this, how can I let go of the great opportunity to be alone with the monarch? Think about how much money will be auctioned for a dinner with those celebrities in the future, and you will know how popular it is, not to mention that this is still a national leader!

What's even more shameless is Lin Feng's plan to get back the capital. He refused to suffer a loss, and said that he would make up for Li Jianlai's deficit, so he vaguely revealed that there was a vacancy in the position of an escort. He felt that he had just come to Xijing, and he didn't know who to look for

Suddenly, Lin Fengjin was like a city here, almost about to break the threshold, and the people in line were blocked until the street, I don't know how many people in Lu Dao patted their chests and were willing to share their worries for this sensible Lin Gongzi, no, Uncle Lin! To be able to show his face in front of Li Jian and his old man, this is something that many people in Lu Dao dream of!

Of course, the choice of this escort must also be exquisite, at least it can't be too obvious, what crooked melons and cracked dates are used to fill the number, Lin Feng's careful tone is to be elegant and elegant, knowledgeable, and must be good at making fun of each other.

Of course, the most important thing is that the money of filial piety must not be less, and you can't even think about it without a hundred thousand taels of silver. Even so, he was dazzled by a long list of census-like staggering lists.

The person selected by Lin Fengjin is called You Zhong, although this person can only take out 100,000 taels of silver, but he is a three-willow long beard, he looks very good, and he is worthy of the four words of elegance and elegance, and a calligraphy is very elegant, and he is a long-sleeved dancer, in Lin Fengjin's opinion, this person is similar to Cai Jing, Yan Song and others, regardless of talent, at least in terms of pleasing the king.

Of course, the most fundamental reason why Lin Feng chose You Zhong was because You Zhong's own brother You Xu was the guard general between the Tang Dynasty and Nanzheng! With this layer of relationship, the Lin family's caravan could go straight out of the customs and transport the goods on the grassland to the south to sell.

The day of receiving Li Jian is coming soon, needless to say, just starting to enjoy the garden, in the exotic style created by Lin Fengjin himself, Li Jian also felt a different kind of stimulation and experience, and from time to time he bowed slightly, and the accompanying Gonggong Hong felt that he was a good chess piece to befriend Lin Fengjin.

He has followed Li Jian for 30 years, and he knows that Li Jian is quiet on the surface, and he is already quite satisfied in his heart. Lin Fengjin himself is extremely talented, and he is also so good at serving the king, don't look at him at this time he is just a white scholar, but Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner.

However, when everyone came out of the top-level kaiseki bath with a relaxed body, Zhu Mo suddenly admonished:

"Holy Lord, this place is so extravagant, be careful of the king's example. ”

Li Jian also advocates frugality on weekdays, and he is quite strict with himself in his usual days, and he suddenly pondered when he heard the words. Lin Fengjin had long expected this kind of speech, but he was confident, and was about to answer and distinguish, but suddenly heard You Zhong stroking his long beard and laughing:

"The Ministry of Households is also bad, the king has no way, and exploits the people, so that the people are bored and complain, but Lin Gongzi has presided over the construction of Wanshou Square and Zesheng Treasure Palace, and has filled the treasury with a huge amount of four million taels of silver, but I can hear the slightest complaint from the people?"

Zhu Mo is a straight person, so he said very calmly:

"Nope. ”

You Zhong smiled:

"Not only did he complain, but he praised Lin Gongzi a lot. Then, in terms of our enjoyment today, it is indeed extravagant, but dare to ask the household department, ordinary people may come here to consume?"

Zhu Mo said very simply:

"I heard that the consumption is huge, even the old man can't bear it, so he must not be able to. ”

You Zhong smiled and said:

Lin Gongzi used his own talents to make those wealthy families in Xijing willing to pay out two taels of silver to spend, and then these extravagant things enjoyed by the monarch are equivalent to the joint worship of these rich families, and what does it have to do with ordinary people? ”

Zhu Mo pondered for a while, although he was honored with Shangshu and the age of the sixtieth birthday, he still gave Lin Feng a salute and said:

"It's the old man who is abrupt. ”

Lin Feng didn't dare to say anything, Li Jian was also open-minded, and he couldn't let go of his heart to enjoy it, but at this time, the heart knot was gone, and he took it for granted more and more, those rich people joined forces to worship me, what does it have to do with the people's fat and people's ointment, I can't come to this money, they don't have it at home and buried in the ground?

This time Li Jian was coming, and Lin Fengjin also prepared some special dishes, such as oysters and the like.

"This thing is a treasure in the sea, nourishing yin and aphrodisiac, and it is extremely delicious! It must be preserved with a Xuanbing talisman, otherwise it will rot and deteriorate after leaving the sea for a day and night, and it will be inedible. Another trivial thing worth mentioning is that after the club launched this dish, the industrial chain driven by the club can make a significant improvement in the lives of nearly 1,000 people. In fact, as long as luxury is used well, it can also rejuvenate the country. ”

Hearing Lin Fengjin say this, Zhu Mo and Li Jian were very surprised and said:

"How so?"

The education they received was all about "from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift", "luxury to the country" and so on, never heard that luxury can actually improve people's livelihood, Lin Fengjin smiled:

"If this dish is to be collected from the sea, the fishermen must do it, right, we must not rob him for nothing, the fishermen who collect oysters for us every day are nearly 100 people, as long as we purchase this dish at a fair and reasonable high price, they will have a stable source of income, right?

Everyone nodded.

Then Lin Fengjin said:

"If you want to send this dish from the sea to Xijing as quickly as possible, you have to take the waterway, you have to use a special boat to go upstream, and you have to feed a dozen boatmen who have no business to pick up, right?

"Next, we have to consume three ice talismans along the way, the main materials of the ice talisman are two, saltpeter ore and iris flower, and we consume a lot of money, we pay the shop that makes the ice talisman, and the shop will inevitably purchase a large number of saltpeter ore and iris flowers, they have demand, naturally it will greatly drive the income of miners and growers......, right?
