Datang Nongwang

Chapter 571
The day for the banquet was fixed quickly.

three days later.

Li Chongyuan took Wan'er back to Chang'an to participate in the banquet with only his own family and several families of Li's clan.

originally.

Li Chongyuan didn't think about hosting this banquet.

Afraid of shame.

But when the old lady spoke, Li Chongyuan couldn't do anything about it.

Fortunately, the members of Li's clan didn't laugh at him, Li Chongyuan, and the gift was quite a lot.

even.

When the eldest grandson empress in the palace heard that Li Chongjiu was going to hold a small banquet, she specially sent a female official to bring some gifts to Li Chongyuan.

As for Li Shimin, of course he is gone.

The reason.

Everyone knows it well.

Others gave presents, but Uncle Li Xiaogong still came empty-handed as before.

And when the banquet was over, the drunk Li Xiaogong didn't forget to take away two jars of good wine from Li Chongyuan, which made Li Chongyuan laugh.

As for Li Yuan of Li Zhuang.

Li Chongyuan invited him, but the little old man was unwilling to come, and depending on the situation, he was still sullen.

to this end.

Li Chongyuan could only give up.

The little old man didn't want to come, and Li Chongyuan, a junior, had no choice.

evening.

After the end, Li Chongyuan stood at the gate of the County Marquis Mansion, and after sending everyone away, he sighed helplessly, "It seems that this banquet should be held infrequently. With my temperament, it's really not suitable for us to welcome and see you off." to."

"Fourth brother, just be happy. Your current title is higher than mine, and you don't know when it will be my turn." Li Chongxu stood beside Li Chongyuan, envious after hearing the sound.

Li Chongyuan four brothers.

The boss is an inherited title, so he has already been the county magistrate.

Li Chongxuan, like the current Li Chongyuan, is also a county lord.

As for Li Chongxu, since he is the third child, his title will be lowered by one level, county uncle.

Li Chongxu's envy made Li Chongyuan a little helpless, "Third brother, don't envy me. After a few years, you, the gatekeeper of the city, should also change. At that time, the county marquis will not be easy to catch." Yes. Besides, with your talent, not to mention the title of county marquis, even the county king is indispensable."

is it possible?
Of course it is impossible.

The Tang State began to stabilize, and there would be fewer and fewer wars.

Want to promote the title, a word, difficult.

Unless some major event happens and can play a major role in this matter, then maybe the title can be raised.

Official position or something, it's okay to say.

As far as this title is concerned, it is really not easy to mention it.

Li Chongyuan can be regarded as a blind cat who met a dead mouse, and got a book of ten thousand people in Xixiang. Otherwise, his title of Marquis of the county is probably still far away.

All the finishing work will be handed over to Qi Huo and the others.

After Li Chongyuan handed over the drunk old lady to his eldest brother and the others, he got into the carriage and headed out of Chang'an City.

The little old man is still in Li Zhuang, Li Chongyuan has to hurry back, lest the little old man be unhappy, and maybe order Jin Neishi to go to Qiao Su's house to get wine.

on the carriage.

There is a food box next to Wan'er.

Inside are Li Yuan's favorite dishes.

"Fourth brother, today's big goose stewed in rice wine doesn't taste very good. It's not as good as yours. Also, the lotus root is not crisp enough, and it's not as good as Aunt Hui's. Fourth brother, from Yingbin Building Has the cooking skill declined, and will it affect the business of the Yingbin Building?" Wan'er, who was sitting opposite Li Chongyuan, smelled the aroma of the dishes in the food box, looked at Li Chongyuan and talked about the taste of today's banquet dishes.

Li Chongyuan smiled lightly and said: "You, you just have a mouthful, and I have never seen you say that the food in the Yingbin Building is not good before."

"I don't pick it up, uncle does. Fourth brother, do you think uncle is still angry?" Wan'er, a junior, can still think of Li Yuan, which shows that Li Yuan didn't love her in vain.

Li Chongyuan shook his head, "It will be fine in a few days. Uncle is someone who has been there, so there is nothing he can't see through. However, you can't mess with him during this period of time, otherwise, you will have a hard time."

"I won't mess with him." Wan'er nodded as if to reassure.

Mess with me or not, how can this girl remember.

Maybe tomorrow I will start fighting with the little old man again.

After returning to Lizhuang, Li Chongyuan reheated the dishes brought from Chang'an, poured Li Yuan a bowl of snake wine, and ate dinner with him.

room.

Brother and sister Li Chongyuan ate less, after all, they ate too much at noon.

On the surface, Li Yuan looked like a normal person, but seeing him drinking one sip after another, Li Chongyuan knew that Xiaotou was still sulking.

After another sip of wine, Li Yuan raised his head and looked around, "Where is Chongzhen? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"Uncle, uncle and the others are drunk, I asked my cousin to send uncle and two cousins ​​back to the mansion, so he didn't come back with us." Li Chongyuan responded.

After Li Yuande replied, he continued to drink and eat food, but he didn't ask any more questions.

this night.

Li Yuan was drunk.

A bowl of snake wine made Li Yuan drunk.

Standing at the door of Li Yuan's room on the second floor, Li Chongyuan watched Jin's servants carefully serving Li Yuan, and let out a long and helpless breath.

Day two.

At the end of Mao, Qiao Su and the others rushed back from Chang'an.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the small courtyard, Qiao Su hurriedly brought back some dishes that he hadn't eaten at the banquet yesterday.

Leftovers?
Li Chongyuan still needs to eat leftovers for his promotion banquet?Isn't that embarrassing?

of course not.

This was specially reminded by Zhang Wenli yesterday, saying that he asked Qiao Su to bring back the dishes that he could not finish, and that he wanted to enjoy the dishes in the Yingbin Building.

Even if Zhang Wenli didn't say anything, Qiao Su would probably bring some back.

At least, it can be distributed to the villagers in the village.

Moreover.

For Li Chongyuan's promotion banquet yesterday, he prepared a lot of dishes, and many of them were spare, in order to fear that there would not be enough food if too many people came.

and so.

After Joe Su and the others finished, they brought back some of these dishes today.

Based on the principle of not wasting, Qiao Su, the manager, is considered a master.

But come on.

Li Chongyuan also especially likes to eat the leftovers from the banquet, it is best to mix them all together, the taste makes people drool just thinking about it.

This is not.

At breakfast time.

Li Chongyuan also purposely mixed all the dishes that Qiao Su brought back together and put them on the table after heating them up.

When Li Yuan sat at the table, he found that the dishes served this morning were a bit weird, and he looked displeased, "What are you eating here? Why don't you let me have a good breakfast?"

"Uncle, I made this specially. It tastes very good. Uncle, if you try it, it will definitely suit your taste." Li Chongyuan showed courtesy to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan picked up the fast food, tried it, and then patted the table, "Hey, why does this dish taste so good? Yuaner, what kind of dish is this?"

"Uncle, it's better not to talk about this dish, as long as it's delicious." Li Chongyuan didn't talk about it, and it was hard to say.

Could it be that all the leftovers were mixed together?

Li Yuan didn't ask any more questions.

It's delicious.

Li Yuan said it was delicious, and Wan'er didn't even need to mention it.

Judging by the way she eats, one knows that she must have never eaten such a dish.

Nowadays.

Li Chongyuan still had important things to do, and after breakfast, Li Chongyuan hurried out of the courtyard.

Old Xu's family has been very busy these days.

With the hard work of their family, the sugarcane juicer was finally completed a day ago.

Gears and wood are used to make a juicing device, which is environmentally friendly and practical.

Seeing that Li Chongyuan had come to the blacksmith's house, the old Xu's family hurriedly carried out the juice extractor they had made, "My lord, fortunately, the juice extractor is ready, and we tried it yesterday, it's totally fine." Squeeze the juice out of every cane."

"Okay, with this thing, we can start harvesting sugarcane. It just so happens that the weather is getting cold, and we will build a stove for cooking sugar in the warehouse. It will be warm and lively." Li Chongyuan shouted happily road.

The sugar cane should be harvested.

If the sugar cane in a large field is not harvested, it will really be wasted in the field.

In order to verify the condition of the juicer, Li Chongyuan sent people to cut down a lot of sugar cane.

After getting the news, Wan'er, together with a few children in the village, stood curiously by the side, looking at the four-dimensional juicer in front of her.

As soon as the sugarcane juice came out, Wan'er begged Li Chongyuan eagerly: "Fourth brother, fill me a cup quickly, I want to drink, I want to drink."

After Li Chongyuan drank a cup, the sweetness of the sugar cane immediately made him feel refreshed.

"Wait a while, I'll give you the next cup." Li Chongyuan waved at Old Xu and continued to squeeze the juice.

When Wan'er drank a glass of sugarcane juice, the children in the village swallowed hard. They wished they could taste the sugarcane juice that Wan'er said was delicious.

And this time.

The little lunatic came here with a basket in his hand, and there were a few bamboo shoots in the basket.

When the little lunatic came over, he smiled at Li Chongyuan and pointed to the bamboo shoots in the basket.

Li Chongyuan saw that the little guy was looking for bamboo shoots, so he waved to him, "Little lunatic, come here, I'll give you a taste of sugarcane juice."

Seeing that there was something to eat, the little lunatic immediately put the basket away and came to Li Chongyuan.

Soon.

Each child held a bamboo tube of sugarcane juice in their hands, chatting and laughing, and even tasted better than anyone else's sugarcane.

As for the old Xu family.

When I tested the juicer yesterday, I had already drank a lot of sugarcane juice. Even the children in his family were the first to drink sugarcane juice yesterday.

And this time.

The children of Old Xu's family were also among this group of children, and they also had bamboo tubes containing sugarcane juice in their hands.

"Xing Ba, go and call Qiao Su." Li Chongyuan saw that the sugarcane that had been cut back was almost crushed, so he gave orders to Xing Ba beside him.

Not long after, Josu came over.

recruitment.

Recruitment again.

And this time the recruitment.

Still a woman.

Just like the last time I harvested Huaishan, as long as you are capable, then come.

Over there in the warehouse.

Li Chongyuan asked someone to set up several stoves for boiling sugar, one after another, the number was no less than ten.

There are too many sugar canes, so we have to take advantage of this time to turn the sugar canes into sugar.

It was dark the next morning.

The women and girls from the nearby villages had already arrived.

twittering.

As long as Li Zhuang has work to do, they will never be afraid of hardship or tiredness.

although.

Cutting sugar cane is tiring work, but it is better than staying at home and eating.

Moreover.

When you come to work in Lizhuang, you will not only get wages, but also pancakes, and you can even eat sugar cane.

This is not.

The sugar cane is cut.

The little kids who came with them never stopped talking.

Regarding this matter, Li Chongyuan did not stop it. Anyway, there are a lot of sugar cane, how much can these people eat.

But yeah.

Qiao Su felt extremely distressed.

The distressed Qiao Su looked at Li Chongyuan, who was watching from the sidelines, "Young Lord, this is not acceptable. Sugar cane is a precious commodity, and in Chang'an City, one can be sold for hundreds of Wen. Young Lord, they are so The way we eat it, we will lose a lot of sugar cane."

"It's just a few sugar canes, and how much they can eat. Besides, I'll give you two. If your mouth is still good after eating it, then go and stop them." Li Chongyuan said to Qiao Su's stinginess Jin, I really have nothing to say.

Sugar cane stuff.

Once you eat one, you have already reached the top.

If it is really a mission to eat, this mouth is still necessary.

Even if these women, women and children who come to help work have good teeth, it is estimated that after eating today, they will be afraid tomorrow.

There are about three hundred women, plus women and children, and there will be only 500 people.

Five hundred pieces of sugarcane may seem like a lot, but it is actually incomparable to the sugarcane in the sugarcane field.

If it was really stopped, people might say in their hearts how stingy Li Chongyuan is as a county marquis.

When Qiao Su heard Li Chongyuan's words, he immediately shut his mouth.

Eating sugar cane, he ate one just yesterday.

And this morning, when Qiao Su woke up, his mouth was a little awkward.

Don't talk about Josu.

Even Wan'er and the others, after eating the sugar cane yesterday, came here today to watch the excitement for a while, and then went to squeeze the juice against the sugar cane.

I dare not gnaw.

Juiced water is still drinkable.

and.

Li Yuan also fell in love with the sweet taste after drinking the sugarcane juice Wan'er offered her.

Cutting sugarcane is tiring work.

And the women in the fields are so busy that they don't even have time to gnaw sugarcane. If they want to gnaw, they can only gnaw a portion before and after breakfast, or before and after dinner.

Not cold waste.

This is what Li Chongyuan said.

The tips of the cane, as well as the heads left in the ground, had to be dug out.

These can be kept.

This year's sugarcane harvest is bumper, Li Chongyuan can save a lot of seeds, and plans to plant sugarcane all the way to the official road next year.

From the place where Laoshui meets Niushou Mountain to the official road, the distance is at least twenty miles.

If such a large area of ​​puddles is not used, then I really feel sorry for Li Chongyuan, the official hat of the Water Command.

Over there in the warehouse in the village.

The servants are busy stacking the cleaned sugar cane together.

As for the juicer, Wan'er and the children in the village had already occupied a favorable position and asked the servants to help them squeeze sugar cane juice.

And Li Yuan, who has never been very lively, is standing aside at the moment, looking at the four-dimensional juicer in front of him, and Lei's good sugar cooking stove, "Xiaojin, Yuaner said he can make sugar, how can I?" I can't believe it."

"My lord, I don't believe this either." The servant Jin shook his head in response to Li Yuan's words.
