"Inspector Zhangsun, are you going to eat?" A bailiff came over to greet Zhangsun Xin.
"Let's go and eat." Zhangsun Xin helplessly shouted.
He came with four servants, a concubine, and a rough woman.
He couldn't bear to pay for food himself. There were so many mouths to feed.
The concubine came to the side, and the others followed behind.
The Li Family Zhuangzi's tent didn't allow takeout, so they could only eat there.
They worked 24 hours a day, mainly to provide food for the construction site.
If the commoners were willing to come and drink the free soup, it wasn't a problem. There were more than ten stoves, and a big pot was constantly burning.
Cooking was done in a big pot with a spade. The chefs of Drunken Immortal House were learning bit by bit.
Cooking with a special stove wasn't considered a skill. Cooking with a big pot was amazing.
There were a hundred tables and long stools in the tent area. A few people could sit on a stool.
The commoners nearby came over to chat. There were also scholars gathered here, holding books to read.
There were many lanterns in the tent area.
The scholars whose family conditions weren't very good finally found a place to read at night.
It was a little windy tonight. The lanterns swayed, and the wind blew even hotter. It felt like it brought in the heat from other places.
"Go, add another lantern." The chef cooked a few dishes. When he looked up and saw the lanterns swaying, the brightness was low. He called for the waiter of Drunken Immortal House.
The waiter quickly found another lantern, lit a candle, and put it in, hanging it above the heads of the scholars.
The scholars looked at each other, then stood up and bowed to the Li Family Zhuangzi's people.
"Hypocritical, using money to buy reputation." Zhangsun Xin, who walked over, happened to see this and muttered.
Everyone pretended not to hear, and the villagers ignored him.
Why would they care about a minor fifth rank official? My Dongzhu is a major third rank official.
If you have the ability, then say my Dongzhu's name. If you continue to mock me, I'll impeach you to death.
Zhangsun Xin only said one sentence, so he didn't dare to do anything.
Seeing that the plates were placed in a sheltered place in the tent, he went over and picked them up. Then, he went to the food boxes placed in the tent to scoop the dishes.
He ate a meal at noon. It was delicious, not worse than Earthly Paradise. There were even dishes that Earthly Paradise didn't have here.
There were tables and stools in the tent. He thought about it and chose to eat outside. It was more stuffy inside the tent.
There were always people splashing water outside, so the dust wasn't very big.
A commoner came over with a bowl of yellow rice. He nodded and smiled at the people of the Li Family Zhuangzi, then went over to get some soup and pickled vegetables to eat.
This way, he could save some money. The soup was bone soup with vegetable leaves added.
The bones weren't shaved clean, and once they were cooked, the meat would scatter.
Zhangsun Xin saw this and pursed his lips. He wanted to say something, but the concubine beside him nudged him.
He sighed and lowered his head to eat.
Actually, he didn't want to come out. It was great to be in the palace, close to Her Majesty.
Come out, it's good to change to another county. Why Lantian County? It's poor, the county yamen is poor.
There was a rich Zhuangzi here, but the problem was that there was a third rank official in Zhuangzi.
Jin Zi Guang Lu was not just for show. He, the brother-in-law of the Empress, was a fourth rank official.
Most importantly, he was both an official and rich. He had just earned 250,000 yuan.
How many years would it take for the people of Lantian County to drink this meat soup? How many people would need to drink it for 250,000 taels?
The chef over there cooked half a pot of chicken tips. After the chicken tips were processed and the glands were removed, they could eat it without worry.
Moreover, there weren't any antibiotics or poisonous things here.
He placed four plates at the side. The waiter was perceptive and grabbed four pairs of chopsticks. He carried the plates over and placed them in front of the four scholars.
"With one look, I can tell that you will be rich in the future. These are freshly cooked chicken tips. Help me try them. If you get first place in the future, we will also benefit from it."
The waiter looked like he was asking for help.
The four scholars revealed grateful expressions and picked up their chopsticks to eat. The waiter scooped soup and scooped a spoonful of rice into the soup.
Eating like this wasn't good for the stomach, but it was good for the face. It was just soup.
The scholars were indeed grateful. As for the first place the waiter mentioned.
In other places, first place was more important.
To the Li Family Zhuangzi, what was first place? Top 42?
The scholars ate the chicken tips. They bit down and oil came out. They quickly chewed twice. The oil couldn't be wasted.
The chef scooped out all the chicken tips. There was a lot of oil in the pot.
He scooped a spoonful of sauce and stir-fried it a few times. The rich sauce fragrance wafted out. Then, he poured the washed wild vegetables in.
As soon as it was cooked, he sprinkled some salt and took it out of the pot.
"Time to eat, time to eat. Wash your hands first." Guan Xiaotan's voice came. A large group of people who were working over there came here to eat.
After eating, they went to rest. There were other people working at night.
They had eaten just now and were digesting it now. They couldn't work directly in case they got sick.
The workers washed their hands and faces. Guan Xiaotan counted the copper coins there.
The work was settled on the same day. He was afraid that some people's families didn't have money and could buy food with the money.
If there was a special application for not settling on the same day, he would give an extra 5%.
After a month, he would give it to them with silk.
When ordinary people bought things, the silk was in a mess, big and small.
The Li family's farmstead had never been so generous. It was either copper coins or silk that was tied together when they had accumulated too much.
Otherwise, if the cloth was cut into pieces, it would be difficult to make clothes with only a few feet or tens of feet.
Guan Xiaotan counted the money and put it in front of everyone one by one, stacking it on the table.
No one touched it. After washing their hands, Guan Xiaotan said to wash their hands after touching the money. Otherwise, they would get sick if it touched their mouths.
"You are Guan Xiaotan? The Li Family Zhuangzi's manager here? "Zhangsun Xin suddenly asked when Guan Xiaotan was giving out the money.
"Replying to Inspector Zhangsun, I am Guan Xiaotan. I help Dongzhu do things." Guan Xiaotan answered calmly.
"Your Drunken Immortal House, isn't it overstepping the rules?" Zhangsun Xin asked.
"No, it was built according to Heavenly Earth. If it overstepped the rules, someone would have checked it." Guan Xiaotan explained patiently.
Zhangsun Xin: "…"
He choked on the soup.
How could Drunken Immortal House compare to Heavenly Earth? Who didn't know that His Majesty had a share in Heavenly Earth?
On second thought, Zhangsun Xin found that there was nothing wrong. Heavenly Earth was nominally Li Yi's.
So he remembered the important thing. Li Yi couldn't be provoked. He lowered his head and ate. Pretend that he didn't say anything.
What could he possibly do as a Patrol Inspector? The officials with a little real power in the county were arrested. The newcomers were no problem.
Li Yi in Zhuangzi finished his meal and returned to his courtyard. He sat there thinking.
"I have to arrange for Zhangsun Xin. What is he suitable for?
His job is to be the Minister of Clothing. He is responsible for the clothes of the people in the palace and the furnishings of the tables.
He should make furniture. Design some novel furniture.
For example, a real leather sofa without springs and a patchwork sofa with a random layout.
Or … Qiangong Step Bed? Yes, Qiangong Step Bed is good. "
Li Yi thought about how to arrange for Zhangsun Xin and thought of a good thing.
A room in a room, a corridor in a corridor, a room in a room, a Qiangong Step Bed.
Li Yi decided to draw a variety of sofas, and then draw a simple Qiangong Step Bed and describe it.
He believed that the palace would also like this thing. He could put it on the carriage.
He could also hang curtains outside. If he made a big room similar to the Qiangong Step Bed, it would be fun.
