Chapter 242 Is There Something to Gain From a Banquet with Ministers?

"Xiang Yao, Xiang Zhang, happy New Year!"

Yao Chong and Zhang said they were watching the craftsmen eat and were discussing whether to go to heaven and earth for a meal, when Pei Yaoqing came.

"Happy New Year to Huanzhi." Zhang said he was younger than Yao Chong, so he greeted him first.

I learned this from Li Yi. Happy New Year.

Yao Chong nodded: "Huanzhi, do you have free time today?"

"Xiang Yao, I'm going to tell you the truth. I originally planned to go to Bashui Village to ask the people if they had any work to do, but I didn't expect to receive new crabs this morning. On that jar..."

Pei Yaoqing told the reason why he came, and he also saw Lu Huaishen's endorsement.

He first ran to Heaven and Earth, took a bunch of marshmallows, and then went to Lu Huaishen's house.

Lu Huaishen and Prime Minister Lu didn't see it, but they met the other two prime ministers.

"It was written by Huai Shen." Yao Chong did not want to say more.

Zhang said nodded without explaining the reason.

How do you say that? There is nothing wrong with saying that Li Yi asked Lu Huaishen to write and get benefits.

The problem is that he and Yao Chong were not invited to write, so wouldn't they be inferior to Lu Huaishen?

"Lu Xiang's home has been demolished? You still need to find a place to live in the winter." Pei Yaoqing observed the expressions of the two of them and said casually.

The response he got was that no one answered him.

"Did you two eat?" Pei Yaoqing changed the subject.

"Is it possible that you want to invite me?" Yao Chong said coldly.

"I heard that your yamen has saved a lot of money this year." Zhang said, winking at the same time, hinting that the money can be used by Prime Minister Yao.

Pei Yaoqing blinked: "If you don't mind, I'll order some takeout, it's heaven and earth."

He's not going to do it, why should he keep talking about it? Give you Yao Chong? dream!

The money I got with my own skills has been paid to everyone named Zhong, but you can do that?

At worst, I'll write another million people's table to ensure that every word is different from the previous one. Believe it or not? My kid tried it.

"Daoji, I don't care about money and affairs in the county." Yao Chongcai doesn't do it. His Majesty sees this money, who can touch it?

The sound of 'ding-dong-ding-dong' bells came, and with the sound, a group of people appeared.

The three people saw it and ended the topic.

The car in the middle came to a stop. Someone opened the curtains and waved, and the three of them got on.

"Happy New Year to Your Majesty, Happy New Year to Queen Wang." Yao Chong spoke first, deliberately saying Queen Wang's surname.

It means you are the queen, and that mirror... is indeed beautiful.

Zhang Shuo and Pei Yaoqing followed to greet them.

"This house was demolished very quickly." Li Longji looked out through the car window. The house had been demolished, everything had been moved away, and the foundation was being laid.

"The engineering team organized by the King of Song Dynasty has the guidance of old craftsmen and the use of new tools, so the process of transporting waste is smooth."

Zhang said to give a reason, and it is true.

"Professional!" Queen Wang personally made a pot of tea and said when she brought it over.

She was like a girl now, and all the worries that had weighed on her before were gone.

When her status was in doubt, she still had the leisure to play shuttlecock with the maids and eunuchs in the harem. How serious was she?

Of course, when Li Longji hesitated to deal with Wei Shi and others, she also dared to take the initiative to raise the knife and persuade her husband to do it.

This is her character, she dares to love, hate and fight.

Therefore, Li Yicai, who is familiar with history, asked the children to constantly provide assistance, beat drums, and wave flags when traveling.

Li Yi felt that it would be troublesome for him to put anyone in charge of the harem. Since there is trouble, he must find a way to solve it.

"It's professional." Pei Yaoqing agreed.

Then he said: "I met the people here and had little work to do, so I still wanted to go to Zhuangzi."

He asked Li Longji for instructions. I'm going to find Li Yi. I can't help myself.

"Become a commoner yourself, think more, think more, and worry more. You can't just rely on others when things happen."

Li Longji does not object, but reminds you not to think about nothing.

As for me, Li Yi, it is true that if you ask him, he will answer, but why?

"We discussed it in the past and it was beneficial. Chang'an decided to buy a large amount of cement from Lijiazhuangzi." Pei Yaoqing gave the conditions.

He looked at Yao Chong and Zhang while talking.

Zhang said with a wink: I just mentioned it casually, don't say it out loud.

Yao Chong: I didn’t agree to ask for money from you at all. He said, if you try to get married to the old lady, I will fight with you.

Lu Huaishen looked around: Is there something going on between you two?

"Huanzhi, it is not easy for the county to save some money for people's livelihood. Even if it is Lijiazhuangzi, it cannot be given a high price. The people's wealth and blessings are handed over to you, and the people cannot be disappointed."

How could Li Longji not see this? What he said to Pei Yaoqing was actually a warning to the three of them not to reach out.

Yao Chong glared at Zhang and said: You have so many things to do, when did I ever think of commanding the small treasury in Chang'an County?

Zhang said with a wink: I’m doing this for your own good too, don’t pull me down!

"Have you eaten, sir? I am hungry." Queen Wang tried to smooth things over.

"Huanzhi said he wanted to invite us to order takeout from heaven and earth." Zhang said he decided to eat Pei Yaoqing once, otherwise he would not give up.

"I think they eat well, one serving per person." Li Longji chose to eat the same thing as the craftsmen.

The food was not bad, he saw it, and he knew that the cabbage and pork belly stewed in a large pot were more delicious than those cooked in a small pot.

Gao Lishi, who was outside, went to check on the situation and came back and said: "The food cooked by King Song is clean. The construction site in the kitchen is some distance away, so there will be no dust."

So three large pots were brought over, stewed pork belly with cabbage, stir-fried bean sprouts with shredded dried tofu, and rapeseed and egg drop soup.

Then divide the bowls into small bowls and let everyone serve their own meals.

Queen Wang began to take things out of the car.

"The cut beef with soy sauce is kept chilled. It is made early in the morning and will not go bad. The garlic sauce is not vinegary. For those who like to eat vinegar, we have it here.

Fermented bean curd, there is no stinky tofu, the smell of stinky tofu is too great. The sauerkraut in the small altar was taken from my uncle and stewed with cabbage and pork belly. I have a small pot here.

Rice cakes, for stews, just millet and sorghum rice. If you don’t chew them carefully, it’s not good for your stomach. Eat cakes..."

While Queen Wang was talking, she took something out. There was a lot of food in the car.

There was also a big watermelon placed next to it. If she didn't eat it, she would share it with the palace maids and eunuchs when she went back in the evening.

The food she prepares every day in her car can feed twenty people for half a month in case of emergency.

She changed them once a day, and she didn't care about the money. What she changed was also for the palace maids and eunuchs.

The car is big and there is a special place to put food. The beef in sauce does not last long and there is little ice.

She has no sense of security unless she is allowed to stay in Li Yi's village all day long.

Even Li Longji had the same feeling. Even if three thousand Yulin Feiqi were dispatched to kill Li Yi, the result would be that the entire Yulin Feiqi army would be annihilated.

I don't know why he has such an idea, so he has this thought inexplicably. If Li Yiruo is ruthless, he will die as many as he can.

Zhuangzi had a feeling that neither Webster nor Princess Taiping had.

Now Queen Wang takes it out for everyone to eat, and then changes it when she goes back.

Everyone added ingredients and cooked it again, especially after adding sauerkraut, the flavor was rich, and I finally felt that I was different from the craftsmen.

"While you are eating, please don't forget to help Huanzhi think about how to find jobs for the people." Li Longji took a sip of soup and asked everyone to work together.
