The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Among the teas delivered this time, there is an extra scented tea, but the quantity is small.

Zhao Fu watched the guys busy packing, and began to think about how to sell the scented tea at a good price.

Scarcity makes things valuable. Since the quantity of scented tea is small, it must be sold at a higher price than ordinary black tea and green tea.

It would be best to customize the outer box and carve jasmine patterns on the box.

However, it would be too late for the Dragon Boat Festival.

So this scented tea can be put aside for the time being.

It is better to put it aside for a few more days than to delay selling it at a high price.

Nowadays, even if the shop is busy, everyone is at ease. The shop faced a situation of no goods to sell in the past two days, and everyone was worried.

This will delay making money.

As Zhao Fu expected, as soon as the tea shop opened the next day, customers came to buy things continuously.

The first three days of the Dragon Boat Festival are the best time for business.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, people will go out to visit each other, so it would be a rush to buy at that time.

In the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, the tea shop clerk came to the house to deliver the account book. After delivering the account book, he had to go back to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.

Early in the morning, mugwort was inserted at the gate of the house and the doors of each courtyard.

After Li Fu got up and packed up, Xiao Tao told Li Fu.

"My dear, the tea shop delivered the account book early in the morning. Do you want to see it?"

Li Fu shook his head.

"Today is a festival. Let's put the account book in the study first and read it after the festival." After Li Fu finished speaking, he asked Xiao Tao how the rice dumplings were prepared.

"Yesterday, Liu Niang and her people prepared a lot of rice dumplings in the kitchen. According to the instructions of my husband, everyone in our house will have rice dumplings today. We also specially reserved some rice dumplings with candied dates and red bean paste and put them in the food box for you. You can take them directly when you enter the palace."

"Well, it's good to prepare them." Li Fu responded.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be a banquet in the palace, and Li Fu will also go to Da'an Palace to visit the retired emperor Li Yuan and bring some rice dumplings.

The Shangshi Bureau must have done everything it should do, but Li Fu can't go empty-handed. Rice dumplings are not valuable, but this is a courtesy.

"In addition to rice dumplings, prepare some other food in the kitchen for me. I will take them all when I enter the palace." Li Fu said.

The kitchen at home may have more things than the Shangshi Bureau.

His Majesty Li Er is pitiful. What can he eat?

Nothing more than some soup noodles, boiled meat and so on.

Look at the kitchen of the Jingyang Wang residence and the food on Li Fu's table.

Peel both sides of the tofu and cut each piece into eight small pieces.......

That's what it means to know how to eat.

"Yes, you will have breakfast first, and I will go to the kitchen to ask them to clean it up." Xiao Tao responded.

Li Fu left the room and walked to the corridor, where Lao Zhao was waiting.

"My dear, the residences of General Yuchi and General Cheng, as well as Du Shangshu, Fang Zhongshu, and Changsun Pushe have all sent people to the residence to give away clothes." Lao Zhao said.

"What about the people in our residence? Have they been sent out?" Li Fu asked.

"They have already set off with the clothes, and they should arrive at each family soon." Lao Zhao responded.

"Yes." Li Fu nodded slightly.

There are many customs for the Dragon Boat Festival. During the Dragon Boat Festival in the Tang Dynasty, the ministers had to give summer clothes to the emperor, and the emperor would also give clothes when he entertained the ministers in the palace.

There was also a custom of giving each other silk clothes among the ministers.

Therefore, several days before the Dragon Boat Festival, the house would start to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival.

Li Fu didn't know these customs, but Li Shimin sent someone to tell him specifically, so that Li Fu wouldn't offend people because he didn't know these festival customs and interpersonal relationships in the palace and officialdom.

Li Fu had a good relationship with the people in the original Xian Ce Mansion, so on the Dragon Boat Festival, he received a lot of gifts of clothes early in the morning, and Li Fu's house also asked his servants to give gifts of clothes to people in return.

Li Fu was going to the palace for a banquet, so he couldn't go to explore the many folk activities in Chang'an City.

I heard that there was a dragon boat race on Qujiang Lake, which must be very lively.

After Li Fu finished his breakfast and packed up, he took the guards and servants and took a carriage to Da'an Palace.

As for Li Shimin's banquet, it was still early, so there was no rush. Let's go to Da'an Palace first.

After entering Da'an Palace, Li Fu was followed by many servants from the Jingyang Palace. They were holding things that Li Fu wanted to bring to Li Yuan, including food, drinks, and daily necessities.

On the way to the palace, the eunuch told Li Fu that the emperor had also invited some old ministers to a banquet in Da'an Palace today. At Taiji Palace,When someone came, His Majesty also invited the emperor to attend the banquet, but the emperor refused, just wanting to have fun with the old ministers in the Da'an Palace.

Two days ago, the queen personally brought people to send several sets of new clothes and shoes to the emperor, and bought a lot of things for the Da'an Palace. She also brought His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to visit the emperor. Therefore, the emperor was in a good mood these two days.

"The emperor is in a good mood, which is the most happy and comfortable thing." Li Fu smiled, and then he took out a small copper coin from the pocket in his sleeve and stuffed it into the hand of the eunuch next to him.

"Oh, Your Highness, this is not what I meant. How can this be done?" The eunuch quickly declined.

"Take it. You have worked hard to serve the emperor in Da'an Palace. In the future, I hope you will do your best to take care of the emperor's daily life." Li Fu said, "It's the Dragon Boat Festival."

"This..." The eunuch hesitated, looking at the golden copper coins in his hand.

It's really pleasing...

"Just take it, no problem." Li Fu smiled.

"Then thank you, Your Highness." The eunuch bowed and saluted, with a smile on his face.

Li Fu walked towards the side hall where the emperor was.

As expected, the emperor's treasury had money, and the inner court was generous. After having money, Empress Changsun first gave the emperor new clothes and shoes, and also bought things for him to show her filial piety.

It's no longer like before, spending money tightly and always thinking about saving.

Seventy thousand strings of cash is also a considerable amount of money for the huge inner court, not to mention that this income is continuous.

Although the inner court was frugal, it never let the emperor suffer any loss. Now that the inner court had money, it paid more attention to the emperor.

Empress Changsun also wanted to gain fame for her husband, so she was more considerate.

At the entrance of the side hall, Li Fu still waited for the eunuch to pass on the message in a proper manner.

Today was a festival, so we couldn't be unruly like in the past.
