Chapter 289: Going to the Banquet (I)
"Ah Fei, what's wrong with you? Why did you have a stinky face from the beginning? Shouldn't you be happy when you get a knighthood? Your Majesty has a dinner today, we have to go to the party, and tomorrow I will take you to the best green building in Chang'an City, and celebrate for you. Cheng Chu stepped forward silently and hooked Chen Fei's shoulder.
What about Chen Fei? He is in a little not in good spirits now, his eyes are blank, and he mutters something like "deceived" and "happy in vain" in his mouth.
Cheng Chumo was strange when he saw Chen Fei like this, this guy was fine just now, why did he become like this when he returned to the house? "Hey! It's really weird, a good day, why is this guy crazy? Why don't you find a doctor to show him? ”
"No need to do Brother Mo, I'm fine, it's just a little uncomfortable, I'll be fine in a while." Chen Fei said listlessly.
Cheng Chumo saw Chen Fei speak, and said strangely: "Huh? So you're not crazy. ”
Chen Fei ......, "Don't make trouble, I'm just a little lost." ”
Cheng Chu smiled silently and sat down beside Chen Fei. "What's the Lost Law? Speak out and make me happy. ”
Chen Fei......
After the two talked......
"You're just feeling sorry that this title isn't hereditary?" Cheng Chumo's eyes widened, and the three views had a tendency to be destroyed.
Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, although there are many titles, but most of them do not have titles, how many people are jealous of Chen Fei's title and can't say it, and he actually ... Actually disgusted?
Cheng Chumo still wondered if the person in front of him was crazy, and he was so crazy that he thought clearly, and he could list all kinds of reasons for his dislike one by one, which was really rare in ancient times.
"Brother Chu Mo, you see, the county uncle is the title of the fourth grade, right? There are 1,000 acres of land and 700 households, right? In other words, my 1,000 acres of land are given to these 700 families to cultivate, and then they pay me rent, right?
Because it's a food eup, not a food eup, so I still have to pay taxes to the national treasury according to the standard, right? You calculate, you calculate, how much do I have left? Is it almost a loss-making deal?
If there is a famine, these 700 families still need me to support, and their children and grandchildren will continue to work with me, I am still their master, but there are more and more people who want to eat, and the field is only so little, do you say I am at a loss? ”
What Chen Fei said seemed to be quite reasonable, opening his mouth to pull a balla, Cheng Chumo wanted to refute, but his mouth was not sharp enough, and he opened his mouth to find that he was speechless.
"Seven hundred households is not a small number, and the business is not good, everyone drinks the northwest wind together! No, I have to find something, otherwise I will have to go bankrupt! Chen Fei's mind began to spin rapidly.
Cheng Chumo knew that this guy's little problem was a little wrong, and when he saw that he was a little more normal, he stopped caring about him and turned around to go about his own business.
In the evening, a eunuch came to the palace to announce the decree and invited Chen Fei and Cheng Chumo to enter the palace for a banquet.
The two went to the main hall for the banquet under the leadership of the eunuch, and because they were accompanied by Cheng Chumo, Yin Ping did not follow Chen Fei this time.
Cheng Chumo made a lot of contributions in the Battle of Songzhou, and he is the eldest son of Cheng Yanjin, the future Guogong, so he can barely sit at the penultimate table today.
The penultimate one is Chen Fei, if he didn't play a role in the first battle in Songzhou, it is estimated that it will not be his turn to sit in this position.
However, Chen Fei didn't have any feelings about this banquet, and he was always thinking about his own affairs.
About the rewarded farmers...... He'd been thinking about it all afternoon, but he still didn't have a clue. Just when he had a headache, he suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance and looked down...
"Huh? Cooking? "Chen Fei found that the first dish he served was his signature dish 'fish-flavored shredded pork'.
"I'm rubbing, it seems that this dish has been spread to the palace, and I didn't charge intellectual property fees, it's really a big loss..."Chen Fei sighed.
"Hey, there you have it! I have so many industries that I can disperse the farmers into the industry, which greatly relieves my employment pressure. After giving himself a thumbs up, he finally gathered his thoughts and looked up at the banquet.
The banquet has not yet started, and it is still being served. The fish-flavored shredded pork is just used as an appetizer, and the real dishes are still behind, and many gorgeous dishes have never even been seen by Chen Fei, and I don't know how much higher it is than the state banquet stall that Chen Fei held last time.
For example, a piece of meat in a small clay pot in front of him looks like a famous dish "Dongpo meat" in later generations. However, the meat quality is not as fat as Dongpo meat, a large piece of meat is almost all fine meat, a mouthful of fragrant, the meat is not old, it tastes very tender, very fresh, and the soup flows out of it, Chen Fei was deeply impressed by the taste of this dish just after tasting it. whispered to ask Cheng Chumo beside him what kind of meat this is.
"Huh this?" Cheng Chumo took a sip of soju, showed an expression of enjoyment, turned around and secretly told Chen Fei: "This is venison, a wild juvenile fawn, specially taken from the most tender part of its body to make meat, this thing is not easy to get, you can't buy it with money, today is a blessing." ”
"It turned out to be venison, no wonder." Chen Fei ate venison for the first time and felt that it was very novel.
When he was about to move the second chopsticks, the eunuch who served him beside him gently reminded, "Lord County, Your Majesty has not yet held a banquet, and please wait for a while." ”
"Ahem!" Chen Fei put down his chopsticks in embarrassment, almost forgetting that Li Shimin didn't move the chopsticks, they must not move the chopsticks, fortunately he and Cheng Chu were far away, and the minister in front of him was chatting hotly, and no one noticed the small movements of the two of them, otherwise the two would have to suffer a little.
"Huh? Boy, what are you coughing about? Isn't it cold? Li Shimin suddenly stopped Chen Fei, and everyone's eyes gathered on Chen Fei.
"! You can find it, and you're hearing too well, right? Chen Fei complained in his heart, and immediately got up and handed over to Li Shimin: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Weichen is in good health, but his throat suddenly itched a little just now." ”
Li Shimin waved his hand to signal Chen Fei to take a seat, and then picked up the wine glass and signaled to everyone: "I set up a banquet today to celebrate the victory of Songzhou in the First World War, and I should pay tribute to the people Aiqing, without you working hard outside and assisting the government inside, there would be no prosperity of the Tang Dynasty today, I should drink this cup!" As he spoke, Li Shimin drank a small glass of wine.
The distance was too far for Chen Fei to see whether he was drinking soju or grape wine.
However, Chen Fei couldn't react, the eunuch had already poured the wine for him and respectfully handed it to Chen Fei, so he had to take a sip of the wine in the cup with the ministers to salute Li Shimin...
"Poof! Ahem, ahem! Chen Fei was choked by the soju and coughed, and suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention again.
"I... Ahem, ahem... It's okay... It's okay... Ahem, ahem..."The aftertaste of the liquor lingered in his throat, irritating him to cough incessantly.
Li Shimin was the first to laugh when he saw Chen Fei's appearance: "Hahaha! Boy, this is the wine you brewed, why can't you eat it today? It's weird. ”
As soon as Li Shimin spoke, the veterans no longer held back their laughter, and teased Chen Fei one after another, making him blush.
But fortunately, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became lively, not as dull as at the beginning, Chen Fei also changed to a light wine with interest, and drank with everyone's glass.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Shimin clapped his hands gently, and suddenly shuttled from outside the hall to "float" into a team of dancers, showing their dancing posture in the open space in the middle to cheer up the wine banquet.
Suddenly, Chen Fei noticed a dancing girl, the only woman wearing all-white clothes. Noticing him is not because she wears an all-white dance dress, but because the woman is so beautiful!
Rao has seen many Internet celebrity beauties in later generations, and she still looks so glamorous!
"Bang dang!" The table in front of Prince Li Chengqian suddenly overturned, and everyone's eyes focused on him for a moment......
