I bring the system to tease Shihuang to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 58
Here Zhao Jun just finished her year-end summary when she received an invitation to the annual meeting from Ying Zheng.

As the new year approached, the court meeting has now stopped, and the ministers have also begun a rare rest.

Zhao Jun also just received the news that every time the day before the new year, Yingzheng would call all the ministers of the DPRK and China to hold a banquet.

Speaking of celebrating together, in her opinion, it is equivalent to an annual meeting.

And as one of the nine ministers, of course she will also attend the banquet.

Time soon came to the night of the banquet.

This seems to be a place specially used for banquets, and Jun Zhao has never been here before.

When she arrived, many people had already come to the scene, Li Si, Meng Yi, and Meng Tian, ​​whom she was familiar with, all came.

She even saw Mr. Changping sitting on the side talking to other people.

She lives in the palace but is the latest to come.

Meng Yi saw her and greeted her first.

"Master Zhao is here, happy new year, this is my brother Meng Tian."

Meng Yi arched his hands and gently introduced the people next to him.

"This is the famous Mr. Zhao. Happy New Year."

Meng Tian looks very similar to Meng Yi, but looks much more burly and vicissitudes than Meng Yi, and his momentum is also different.

"This is General Meng Tian, ​​who has long admired his name and is a brave general."

Zhao Jun looked at him and praised him without hesitation. This General Meng Tian is much more famous than his younger brother in history.

Soon Zhao Jun blended in and chatted with everyone.

After a while, a loud voice came.

"The King is here—"

Ying Zheng walked in from the main entrance. He seemed to have changed into a different set of clothes today.

But the overall color is still black, but the pattern has been changed, Zhao Jun can't see what it is.

"You don't need to be too polite, it's the New Year, and here's the banquet, which can be regarded as a celebration with everyone."

Ying Zheng walked to the top position, looked around and said.

Then he raised his glass.

"This first glass of wine is to be respected to the soldiers who are fighting abroad and stationed at the border."

Everyone raised their glasses and said respect.

Zhao Jun held the wine glass and followed suit. She looked at the wine bottle nervously. She didn't know what kind of wine it was...

But the arrow was on the string, she had no choice but to raise her head and drink it.

Tsk, it doesn't taste weird like modern wine, and it's not too strong.

Then Ying Zheng took a second glass of wine.

"The second cup of wine is toast to the people of Qin, thanking them for their dedication and labor."

"The third glass of wine is toast to everyone here, you are the humerus of the country, thank you for your hard work for a year."

Ying Zheng finished three glasses of wine standing up, and everyone below followed him standing up.

Zhao Jun sat down after finishing his drink.

This is the level of Yingzheng's annual meeting.

But don't say that this minister looks a little imposing when he cooperates.

After the speech was over, a maid gradually came up with dishes.

Zhao Jun was quite looking forward to this dinner, because she went to the dining room and saw Ai Du preparing the ingredients for the dinner.

In the past few months, his cooking skills have been quite good, and he has also made more complete tofu.

She went around and guided them to add a dish, so what she was looking forward to most was the dishes for the evening.

Probably the joy of eating at public expense.

Soon the first dish was served. It was a traditional cold dish, but it didn't attract everyone's attention.

Aidu's specialty stir-fried dishes came up later, and Zhao Jun tasted it and it was very good.

Meng Tian, ​​who was sitting on her left, ate like a feast.

The officials were all talking in twos and threes, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Soon the maidservants brought up a small burning stove, and many ministers didn't know what they were going to do.

Ying Zheng also got this in front of him, and he recognized it immediately.

Meng Tian looked at the stove with a bit of vigilance in his heart, the open flame, could it be to burn it for assassination?

Zhao Jun looked at the stove brought up very calmly, this is what she asked the kitchen to change.

The stove used to eat hot pot was too big to be moved to the hall, so she instructed to make a smaller one.

It's a bit like the current small alcohol stove, which is specially used for dry pots.

Followed by a pot full of ingredients.

Zhao Jun was very happy when he saw it. This is the beef offal pot she ordered.

Stir-fry the beef offal in advance and simmer, then add water and put it in the pot, and serve it with some vegetarian dishes such as tofu and cabbage.

The pot was already set up in front of her, and she stretched out her chopsticks and tasted the stewed beef impatiently.

Mmm, delicious.

Some of the other ministers were still hesitating about what it was, and saw that Jun Zhao had moved his chopsticks.

Meng Yi next to him didn't recognize him and asked directly.

"what is this?"

The rest of the people also listened attentively.

"This is a dry pot newly developed by the dining room. The stove below can keep the dishes hot all the time. It is best to eat in winter. General Meng hastened to try it. It is delicious."

Zhao Jun told him that although he didn't use the hot pot bottom material, it had a special flavor after being stewed with peppercorns and cornel.

Ying Zheng, who was sitting on it, picked up his chopsticks quietly when he heard it.

The taste is good, but not as good as the previous hot pot, he thought silently.

"what is this?"

Li Si, who was sitting in front of Zhao Ju, ate the white tofu first.

The snow-white soft taste captured him immediately, and he turned his head to look at Zhao Jun.

"This is tofu, made from soybeans, and it tastes really good."

Zhao Jun tasted the tofu, the tofu was full of juice, very tasty.

For a while, everyone was very satisfied with this dish. You must know that the banquet dishes in the past have never been so delicious, and there is no such hot food.

Most people enjoy eating to their heart's content, but there are always people who want to have a bad time.

"Master Zhao really cares about eating, but he just doesn't know if he can do his job well."

A leisurely male voice came from behind, it didn't sound like he was talking to himself, but everyone could hear it.

Suddenly, the harmonious atmosphere just now disappeared, and everyone secretly looked at the speaker, not knowing what he wanted to do.

Zhao Jun turned his head to look, and the speaker was Changping Jun who had met once.

She was a little puzzled, didn't I hear that Mr. Changping was very refined, why did he always target her?
"Eating food is the most important thing in the world. If people don't have enough to eat, then there is no need to do anything. Besides, if I remember correctly, our Neishi Palace is in charge of farming."

Zhao Jun didn't even look at him and said again.

"No matter what you do, you need to delve into it. I don't think Mr. Changping can think of such a thing."

She looked towards him.

"I remember that Mr. Changping doesn't seem to have much to do, so you should study hard. You have much more time than me."

Although Zhao Jun said it with a smile, but he couldn't run on him.

The people around laughed secretly.

Who doesn't know that Mr. Changping stayed in Qin State in the name of his relatives, he didn't have any official position at all, and he usually just ate, drank and had fun.

Xiong Qi, that is, Mr. Changping, was very angry when he heard Mr. Zhao's words of running on him.

But what she said was the truth, and she had nothing to refute.

Mr. Changping was sprayed back after these three or two slaps, his face turned red and he bowed his head and stopped talking.

Zhao Jun is very proud of himself, it is not good to provoke anyone, you come to run on me, I will not save face for you.

Ying Zheng, who was sitting on it, just watched all this indifferently.

He knew that Mr. Changping would not be able to please Mr. Zhao with his eloquent teeth.

However, why is this Lord Changping still so careless? Ying Zheng frowned secretly.

The banquet that followed soon became lively again, and many people began to toast each other.

Zhao Jun was complimented by some people and drank a lot.

But what about the wine of this era.

She is not drunk for a thousand glasses.
