Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 53
The housewarming banquet in the Jingyang Hou Mansion was scheduled for the day before Li Fei went to 'work' at the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

As Concubine Yang's adoptive son, even though the number of people who knew Li Fei was very limited, in view of Concubine Yang's face, few high-ranking officials would dare not show it at all.Almost all the people who received the invitation came, and even if they couldn't come in person, they would arrange for the younger generation in the family to appear on their behalf.

Although Prime Minister Li Linfu also received Li Fei's invitation, as Prime Minister and Jin Guogong, even if Li Fei had some face of Concubine Yang, it was not enough for him to be present in person, and he only sent his second son with him. Presents come.

It was Yang Guozhong who came in person.

"Nephew, congratulations on your new home!" Although Yang Guozhong is not Concubine Yang's real brother, but only a brother in name, and only a cousin, there is nothing wrong with being called Li Fei's nephew.

To be honest, Yang Guozhong hated Li Fei very much, and felt that Li Fei stepped on him to become the adopted son of his younger sister Yang Guifei.

However, after all, it is a fact that my sister admits it. Even in order to save face for my sister, he has to hold his nose to recognize Li Fei as a 'nephew' and do a good job on the surface.

Li Fei can guess one or two of Yang Guozhong's psychology, and whoever can't pretend to be false, anyway, he hasn't thought of provoking Yang Guozhong recently.

Li Fei greeted Yang Guozhong to the main table with one uncle at a time, giving Yang Guozhong enough face.

There were many people who came, and Li Fei didn't know many of them.

Since he lived in the Imperial Hospital for a period of time, he knew all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital, and saw people coming one after another.

"Zheng Yuanpan, eldest grandson girl!" Li Fei greeted Zheng Yuanpan and eldest grandson Lanxin quickly, and went up to greet them.

The eldest grandson Lanxin wore the attire of a female doctor as usual, and Li Fei had never seen her in ordinary women's attire.

Although she didn't hate Li Fei so much in her heart, the eldest grandson Lanxin still snorted softly and turned her head away, not pretending to say anything.

Li Fei didn't care, and took Zheng Yuansan to his seat.The eldest grandson Lanxin asked Lin Shiyue to take her to the ladies' table.

It is a custom in Datang that men and women have different seats, Lin Shiyue, as the only hostess in the family, can only receive the accompanying female guests in person.

"Miss Changsun, this way please!" Lin Shiyue was generous and courteous, not at all inferior to any lady of the family.

The eldest grandson Lanxin nodded. She was a female doctor, and she could tell at a glance that Lin Shiyue, who had a slightly bulging stomach, was pregnant with a child.I don't know why there is a trace of discomfort in my heart, and I secretly scold Li Fei for making Lin Shiyue, who is pregnant with a child, work so hard to greet the guests.

"My sister is pregnant, so it's better not to work too hard." The eldest grandson Lanxin couldn't help exhorting.

"Thank you, Miss Chang-sun, for your concern. The child is already five months old and is relatively stable. Besides, my husband has no spare time for this kind of thing. I have to help my husband greet the female guests who come with me. I just use my mouth to guide and guide, which is not hard. "Lin Shiyue said with a smile.

Even so, since she saw it and said it again, the eldest grandson Lanxin didn't have the nerve to leave Lin Shiyue alone and sit there, and even accompanied Lin Shiyue to greet the female guests with her.

It was the eldest grandson Lanxin who subconsciously softened her heart, but her actions instantly made Lin Shiyue feel good about her.

After a while, the two got along very well, talking and laughing.

Li Fei saw this scene not far away. He already knew Changsun Lanxin well.Such a temperament, sometimes, it is easy to suffer.

For today's banquet, Li Fei invited many famous chefs, and 'designed' many new dishes that the Tang Dynasty had never seen before, full of color, fragrance and taste.When a group of chefs made those dishes under Li Fei's guidance, they naturally tasted them all, and their eyes almost popped out. Every dish is definitely a top-notch dish. If it is placed in a restaurant, it can be a signature dish.

These chefs are basically the chefs of various restaurants, and they cannot refuse the invitation of someone of Li Fei's status to help the Jingyang Hou Mansion cook a banquet.

They didn't dare to ask for Li Fei's reward, they only carefully asked if the dishes designed by Li Fei could be sold in the restaurant after the banquet.Li Fei's reputation is relatively big, and the fact that he is the adopted son of Concubine Yang makes them dare not sell Li Fei's dishes casually. It would be best if Li Fei could agree.

These chefs would have such a request, which was actually expected by Li Fei.

Li Fei doesn't know them either, so it's impossible to ask his recipes to be sold in restaurants for nothing, but Li Fei can't stop them, after all, he has already taught these people, even if he disagrees, someone will do it secretly for profit of.

Li Fei didn't say anything, and directly offered a price of 50 taels for a dish, whichever chef wanted to use in his restaurant could pay as much as he wanted. 50 taels can be said to be very cheap. Li Fei only earned more than 2000 taels from this business, not too much, not too little.

In order to make the banquet last longer, Li Fei also invited the theater troupe.

In short, try to ensure that everyone has used the toilet in his Jingyang Hou Mansion, this is Li Fei's main purpose.

Everyone who came out of the toilet in the Jingyang Hou Mansion widened their eyes in amazement.

Ceramic tiles, squat pits, and a scoop of water from the bucket next to it after the convenience, it is simply wonderful.In order to make the toilets really not smell bad, Li Fei also asked people to put vanilla with a strong fragrance in each toilet.

Absolutely tall!
"Prodigal, too prodigal!" Someone couldn't help muttering after coming out.They have never seen tiles or pits, so they subconsciously feel how precious they are.

Of course, it is only a small number of low-level officials who are not high-ranking, low-income, and not rich.

The real dignitaries are not short of money, they are only interested in how to make it.

No, at the banquet, a man from the Duke's Mansion was the first to ask Li Fei.Ask Li Fei how the toilets in Jingyanghou Mansion are made and how much they cost.

There is no doubt that this person is itching in his heart, and he also wants to get one in his own place to replace the stinky hut after returning home.

After estimating, Li Fei carefully said that the cost of a toilet is about 100 taels.

The man exclaimed directly, not because he thought it was too expensive, but because he thought it was too cheap!Immediately, he eagerly asked again how he made it, who he asked to make it, and so on. It seemed that he must also want to get ten or eight of them in his own place.

100 taels is actually 10 Wen coins, which is equivalent to [-] yuan in modern times!
A small toilet of a few square meters, costing 100 yuan, still feels cheap. In fact, Li Fei carefully said [-] taels because he was afraid that people would not accept it. Who knew that people thought it was cheap.
