Chapter 99
Eunuch Chen looked at Li Mu's face and asked tentatively: "Manager, why don't we... how many dishes should we remove?"
"No!" Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Although these people are extremely stingy, we are conscientious merchants. We cannot serve the dishes like them. This manager wants to make them feel ashamed!"
"The manager is indeed generous!" Eunuch Chen praised. Although he had already left the palace, his instinct as a eunuch is still there. No matter whether Li Mu said it right, it is necessary to flatter him at the right time.
Li Mu was thinking in his heart that the food was ready. Should he keep it for the pig if he didn't serve it? If the food was not cooked, it would be strange if he could let the food serve!
"When the dishes are served later, let the waiters at each table take a recipe and introduce one dish to the dish. By the way, let the group know how much each dish costs, which makes the group of people a little clear."
"..." Old Man Chen wanted to take back what he said just now, but he still didn't dare to say it. Xiaoxiao agreed, put down the account book in his hand, turned around and went out to make arrangements.
Li Mu took up the account book and asked someone to lock the warehouse door and report it to Li Yuan.
...
There are few private rooms in heaven and earth, mainly due to design.
The main body of heaven and earth is a short rectangular rectangular body, six zhang high, and the bottom is twelve zhang long and wide. There is a patio on the first and second floors, which is somewhat similar to the design of a later theater. Open the window on the second floor and you can see the scene on the first floor. Going up, the ceiling is sealed.
Therefore, the actual area of the second floor is very small, just like the border with the character "再", just one circle, one meter wide, a private room, removing the stairs at the corner, and there are just forty private rooms on all sides.
In the middle, there is a movable "stage" that can be detached and has pulleys. It can be set up when needed, such as when opening today or when doing activities in the future, it can be removed and opened to the warehouse.
Li Mu set his private room in the middle of the south side, which is the best viewing location. As for the middle of the north side, facing north and south, it is for the royal family, and no matter how many people there are, they must be kept.
In the private room.
Li Siwen felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.
He looked left, Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien were sitting in the same place, smiling on his face, as if nothing was wrong. Looking right, Wang Ou and Nazha were chatting, and there seemed to be nothing wrong. But the atmosphere in the air made him feel very embarrassed, but he couldn't understand the reason for the embarrassment.
He glanced at Li Chongyi who was standing behind Bai Qiaoqiao, and grinned: "Brother, why are you standing? Let's sit down and chat for a while?"
Li Chongyi glanced at him and said nothing.
"Oh..." Li Siwen sighed, it was so boring! He didn't give up and went to talk to Wang Ou again: "Aunt, I didn't expect you to speak Turkic words. You are really worthy of being a talented woman."
Wang Ou glanced at Li Siwen and said, "Who are you? Why do you call me aunt?"
"Uh..." Li Siwen was embarrassed and said, "My name is Li Siwen, I belong to Li Ji's family, and Li Mu is my brother."
"Oh. It turned out to be Siwen. I heard Li Mu talk about you."
After saying this, Wang Ou ignored him. Li Siwen touched a soft nail, touched the tip of his nose, and got up and walked out.
Just after he left the door, he ran into Li Mu head-on. Li Mu looked at him and hurriedly pulled him aside and said, "Just looking for you, the ceremony is about to begin. You have to take care of Nazha for me, and there must be no accidents. I know she is here for Jie Li. If there is anything, don't make trouble here again. Today, His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor are here, and no one can protect you if something happens."
"Brother, what's wrong with recognizing a relative?" Li Siwen laughed and said, "Brother, I'll tell you the truth, I can't hold it in anymore. Nazha and I have nothing to do. She is not my concubine and she is not pregnant. She picked it up on my way back. Guess who she is?"
"Ah?" Li Mu was a little confused, but Li Siwen became happier and happier as if he had done something big: "You can't guess that she is Jie Li's daughter! Did you think it's a coincidence? I was a little hesitant. But seeing that she was so pitiful, I couldn't ignore it. I thought again, although Jie Li was an enemy of our Tang Dynasty, he has surrendered now, and Your Majesty also returned it to his tribe and treated him kindly. Naturally, Your Majesty will not make any trouble for his daughter. Besides... I didn't learn from you, and I'm just a chivalrous and righteous person!"
"When will I become a hero?"
"Haha..." Li Siwen laughed dryly and said, "I realized it. In short, this is already like this. Brother, just help me. When I was walking around, I saw Jie Li and was downstairs. When things were almost busy later, you would let them recognize each other. I did a good thing. If you don't help, I will take them there. When the disaster happens, I won't care!"
Seeing that Li Mu looked bad, Li Siwen quickly smiled and said, "Brother, you know that I always want to be a golfer in my dreams, so you can satisfy my wish."
At this time, Eunuch Chen called Li Mu. Li Mu responded, raised his hand and knocked on Li Siwen's head, saying, "I'll deal with you later!"
"I know! Please, brother!"
Li Siwen shouted very slowly, and suddenly saw the door not far away open. Wang Hu came out of the door and was so scared that he hurried back to the private room. He didn't want to be captured by Wang Hu.
...
Li Mu came to the middle stage and held a homemade amplifier in his hand. Although the effect was incomparable to the electric amplifiers of later generations, fortunately, when the Heaven and Earth were designed, Gongsun Kang added a sound amplifier structure similar to the Taimiao. Standing on the middle stage, the sound would have been amplified. With the help of the amplifier, the volume was already very impressive.
There is a slide on the fifth floor to go directly to the private room on the second floor. When you open the window, you can see the first floor directly. As Li Mu made a gesture, Eunuch Gao pushed the window open, and Li Shimin and Queen Changsun appeared at the window. Then, other private rooms also opened the window with the help of the waiter, and "giants" appeared in the sight of the first floor. Every time a window was opened, Li Mu introduced a person. As expected, as the rules mentioned by Eunuch Xiao Chen, each of them was a Duke or a third-rank, and there was nothing dissatisfied with the people below.
Li Siwen looked at the crack in the window, feeling worried, and finally arrived at this private room. Li Siwen gritted her teeth and wanted to open the window. At this time, two people suddenly appeared on the left and right, which scared him: "Sister-in-law, aunt, you guys..."
"Aunt, I'll do it."
"I'll do it, Qiaoqiao, I'm used to showing up in public, it's okay."
"I'll do it. This private room is prepared for my husband. My husband is busy. I am his wife and should do it for me."
"I'll do it. I'm the first-rank lady granted by Your Majesty. Others can't talk. If you come forward, you'll be afraid that the government and the people will criticize him again." Seeing that Bai Qiaoqiao was about to speak, Wang Ou said again: "You call me aunt and listen to me, my elder."
As he said that, Wang Ou looked at Li Siwen. Li Siwen subconsciously took two steps back, and Wang Ou walked over and stood at the window.
When the window opened, Li Mu was stunned for a moment when he saw Wang Ou, but soon realized and introduced her. This was the first woman who was present to occupy a separate private room. There were a wave of discussions downstairs. Li Shimin happened to stand opposite Wang Ou. Seeing this "old friend" who had not seen for several years, he felt mixed feelings and was stunned. Queen Changsun saw it next to her. Although she was not jealous, she was also a woman. Especially when she knew the past between Li Shimin and Wang Ou, she couldn't help but feel delicious. Taking advantage of the wide robe and big sleeves, she secretly reached out and pinched Li Shimin's arm.
"Your Majesty, please respect yourself."
Li Shimin recovered from pain, smiled apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, Queen, I...I have no other intentions."
"I know." Empress Changsun looked ahead, and her tone seemed to be unhappy, but Li Shimin could hear that she was already angry. She couldn't help but blame Li Mu, even if you want to flatter me, you should just bring Miss Wang to see me secretly. In this way, the queen will be present in public... You can do this!
At this time, Li Mu had already introduced the VIPs on the second floor. As for the number of people downstairs, I can't just skip them.
"...Welcome to all the guests, and I will thank you in place of the host here, Mr. Jiacheng."
Li Mu said, greeting each of them in four directions, and then said, "Here, I want to give you a brief introduction to all the guests. The host here, Jiacheng Duke, was born in the Li family in Longxi. When he was young..." Li Mu deliberately delayed his voice and said, "I have built a huge family business. Jiacheng Duke is wise and not like other heads of family, holding his power and position tightly, and entrusting all the huge family business to his son early on. Jiacheng Duke once told me that the most important thing in life is experience. After experiencing it, there is no need to be reluctant to leave. Such an open-minded mind and courage and a chic attitude in life are really amazing. Now, the business in heaven and earth has opened, Jiacheng Duke has begun another life experience. My old friends, my former subordinates, have come to celebrate, which shows that Jiacheng Duke's popularity will surely become a good story and be passed down as a beautiful story."
Li Mu's long passage can be described as "take off his pants and farts". Everyone knows who he is talking about and what he is talking about, but Li Mu said this, so he has to listen to what he said, otherwise what should he do? Should he break this layer of window paper so that everyone can't get out of the Taiwan Strait?
Li Shimin felt the same way. He looked back at Li Yuan who was sitting on a chair drinking tea and looking at the account books. Seeing that his face was normal, he knew that these words were discussed with Li Mu. In fact, this was right. Li Yuan did build a huge family business when he was young, and it was endless. This country was his family business. He did pass it to his son, no matter how it was passed on, he also passed it on. Li Shimin suddenly felt a little ashamed. Compared with Li Yuan's open-mindedness, he was still wary of his own father everywhere, and he was really not a son.
