Early in the morning.
The people of Tonghui Lane were in an uproar.
Early in the morning, the old village chief put on a new soapy robe that he had not worn for a long time. He stood on the street in high spirits, leaning on his walking stick and shouting.
Beside him, Ma Xinliang was beating the gongs and drums with all his might.
At this moment, the old village chief seemed to be ten years younger. His back was not hunched and his eyes were not blurry.
At this moment, he was already surrounded by a group of Chang 'an merchants.
At this moment, the old village chief felt that in his seventies, Mr. Bo Shi, had said that people were past their prime. But at this moment, he suddenly felt that life had just begun.
It was exceptionally wonderful.
At this moment, he had entered the peak of his life!
Because …
Today, the big banquet at the phosphate fertilizer factory at the foot of Longshou Mountain was unexpectedly held by the people of Tonghui Lane!
What was this?
This was the Emperor's favor!
This was the Emperor's favor to Tonghui Lane. This was a rare opportunity. If it was done well, then everyone in Tonghui Lane would become superior.
They would no longer be lowly slaves.
However …
Today, the old village chief knew early in the morning that the Emperor would not come to the banquet at the phosphate fertilizer factory. That lazy Feng Zi would not come either.
After all …
He was still sleeping at that time.
When he thought of this, the old village chief was a little angry.
However, what made him tremble with fear was that although the Emperor would not come today, the people who came today were either rich or noble. There were also a large number of merchants and foreign businessmen from various prefectures.
And today's staple food was a pig banquet that was held by the people of Tonghui Lane …
Pork …
Although this thing, after going through Zhang Feng's hands, was no longer the smelly and disgusting thing it was before. However, the reputation of this pork was not very good. In such an important occasion, the emperor actually ordered that they must eat pork. This made the old village chief especially cautious. If something went wrong, he would be .
Hehe!
Don't say that I'm famous.
If I don't get my head chopped off, then I'll thank the heavens.
When he thought of this, the old village chief became even more anxious.
Leaning on his walking stick, he shouted at Zhu Zi, who was shrinking his neck and rubbing his sleepy eyes, "Zhu Zi, where are your parents? Are you still sleeping? "
Zhu Zi was shocked by the old village chief's words and almost didn't recognize that the person wearing a black gown was actually the old village chief. He muttered in shock: "You are … the old village chief? How did you become younger? "
Even though the old village chief's heart was as sweet as honey, he still shook his walking stick in mild anger and asked, "Where are your parents?"
Only then did Zhu Zi react. He pointed in the direction of the tavern and said, "My father and mother are in the tavern. They said that if a big shot comes today …"
"Aiya!"
The old village chief's expression became anxious when he heard that and said, "Still packing up for what? What time is it now? Tell your parents to go to Chang 'an Hotel and invite a chef, especially the braised ingredients. Don't forget! "
Zhu Zi shrank back, cheered, and ran away.
The old Village Chief was so anxious that he ran around in circles. He sorted out the matter again and saw that the people of Tonghui Lane had all gone in the direction of Tonghuai Gate. He still felt uneasy and was willing to spend money. He hired a carriage and hurriedly rushed to Xiao Mountain.
…
A moment later.
The old village chief and Ma Xinliang appeared at the door of Zhang Feng's villa. He raised his walking stick and was about to knock on the door when Ma Xinliang hurriedly stopped him.
"Old Village Chief, look at the time. If we knock on the door at this time … we will have to knock for two hours!"
The old village chief's expression also froze.
He just remembered that Zhang Feng had a temper when he woke up. Once he lost his temper, let alone asking questions, he could do anything!
However, he still felt unsafe if he didn't ask Zhang Feng about this matter. In the end, he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. This Old Man knows that kid's temper very well. It won't be a big deal!"
As he spoke, the old village chief began his long journey of knocking on the door.
After waiting for a full hour, Little Cui 'er went downstairs and opened the door in a daze. Before she could get angry, she saw that it was the old village chief and hurriedly asked, "Old Village Chief, why are you knocking on the door so early? The young master hasn't woken up yet."
The old village chief glared at Little Cui 'er. When he turned around, he found that Ma Xinliang had already run away without him knowing.
The old village chief was so angry that he cursed in his heart.
Then he said, "The phosphate fertilizer factory started work today. The factory is holding a big banquet today. Old Man is here to ask if Feng Zi wants to go."
While he was talking.
The unwilling Zhang Feng was pushed downstairs by Jingshu.
"I say, Old Village Chief, this is such a trivial matter. Do you have to wake me up before the sun has even risen? Isn't it just a big banquet? You can just do it! "
When the Village Chief saw Zhang Feng come downstairs, he hurriedly pulled Zhang Feng to the side and said, "Feng Zi, I didn't mean to wake you up. Look, this is a big matter. Last night, the Ministry of Works personally sent a letter saying that the Emperor personally gave the order for the old workers of Tong Hui Fang to organize the banquet."
Zhang Feng yawned and leaned against the wall in a daze. He lit a cigarette and said, "This is just a small matter. You can do it!"
The old village chief hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Logically speaking, it's really no problem to leave this matter to us. But the problem is that the Emperor specifically said that he wants to have a pig banquet! You know how this pork is. Without your braising ingredients, it's nothing. Besides the nobles from the imperial palace, there's also a large number of famous clans from the various prefectures, as well as those merchants and envoys from outside the realm. "
"If something goes wrong, won't we lose our reputation?"
Before Zhang Feng could finish his yawn, he asked, "You said … this is some kind of pork? I remember that there was no more pork there, right? This pig banquet … "
