Chapter 617: Don’t forget the monthly membership ticket)
Fourth elder brother was a little helpless.
This is actually against the rules.
I don't want to directly carry people away to eat like this.
There is no interest in "bringing guests around".
The owner didn't even know there was a table inside, so the people around him spread out.
However, seeing the enthusiasm of the ninth elder brother and the fact that they were all brothers, the fourth elder brother nodded and said: "I will go back to freshen up first and come back later."
The ninth elder brother smiled and nodded, then looked at Su Peisheng behind the fourth elder brother and said: "Run an errand, go to the third and fifth institutes, and call the fifth elder brother and the tenth elder brother..."
Su Peisheng did not move and looked at Brother Si.
When the fourth elder brother nodded, he bowed in response and went to the third place.
When the ninth elder brother saw it, he was not annoyed. Instead, he praised the fourth elder brother: "The fourth elder brother is a good servant. He only listens to the fourth elder brother and knows the rules."
The fourth brother glanced at him, this is not nonsense, if his servants listen to everyone, what will happen.
"Okay, let's go in!"
Fourth elder brother urged.
"Yeah, yeah!" Brother Jiu responded and went to the door of the kowtow station.
When someone opened the door, he pushed it open and walked in, shouting: "Brother, brother, brother is here!"
Then came the voice of the eldest brother: "It's already dinner time, why are you here?"
Brother Jiu said: "Isn't this why I'm going to eat with you to save you from being lonely..."
The eldest brother's voice was filled with joy, and he did not hide his disdain: "It's enough when the food is here, and you can go back!"
"Look at what you said, is it more important to eat, or to eat with your brothers?" Brother Jiu said coquettishly.
The fourth elder brother heard the excitement, entered the second house, and went directly to the main room.
Sifujin is also waiting for his meal here.
He then ordered: "Pack two lunch boxes and I will go to the head office later."
Sifujin immediately ordered people to go down and prepare.
She thought of the melons and fruits that her eldest brother had sent two days ago, and said, "If the dining room in the first place is not open, do you think you can tell Prince Zhi and just ask for the food to be delivered here?"
There are no female relatives next door, the eldest brother is not here every day, and not many people come to the county prince's palace.
Brother Si didn't nod or shake his head, and said, "I'll ask about it later."
Futian loves to sweat, and the clothes he wears all day will go rancid.
He wiped himself down, changed into clean clothes, and then took the food box to the head office.
The tenth elder brother and the fifth elder brother are already here.
The meal boxes for the four houses have been put out, with four dishes, two meat and two vegetarian, all on foot plates, and two plates of dumplings, which are quite generous.
The eldest brother was not satisfied and said to the ninth brother: "Isn't it bacon? Where is the meat?"
Brother Jiu glanced at him and realized that he had smelled it. He was not stingy and told He Yuzhu: "Tell the kitchen to steam two plates of bacon and bring it over in a moment."
The eldest brother said politely: "I'll cook two bowls of the fried noodles..."
Brother Jiu was listening and said with disdain: "It's such a hot dog day, why don't you order hot noodle soup?"
As he said that, he told He Yuzhu: "Bring some sesame paste noodles, some mung bean jelly, and those iced bean curds. Don't add toppings. Get some salty and sweet sauces and mix them yourself..."
He Yuzhu went down.
The eldest brother swallowed his saliva.
The fourth elder brother took a few glances at the skinny ninth elder brother, but he didn't see any gain, so he became more picky.
The fifth elder brother couldn't wait and said: "It sounds good."
He had never eaten any of them and wanted to try them all.
He has a good appetite and enjoys all kinds of meat, but in summer, he also likes to eat something refreshing.
The ten elder brothers have eaten it and introduced it to everyone: "It is suitable for eating in summer, and it is also appetizing..."
*
Four upper houses.
Before Shu Shu asked anyone to prepare the meal, He Yuzhu came back.
Hearing that several elder brothers were at the head office, Shu Shu called Xiaotang and ordered: "Don't just steam the meat, but also make some quick dishes, one with shredded egg skin and cucumber, and some with shredded pork; sweet and sour."
One poached egg..."
Three words didn't sound good, so she said: "The rest are tiger vegetables..."
Even though there weren’t any greasy dishes, the weather was hot, so Shu Shu added, “Send a jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine to me.”
Xiaotang forgot and went to the dining room to prepare.
*
The other Fujins didn't watch either.
Since I knew that my brothers were having a dinner together at the first place and the dining room at the first place was not complete, I also sent someone to bring food over.
After the brothers chatted for a while, food boxes began to arrive one after another.
Food boxes from the Fifth House were actually the first to arrive.
Two plates of beef jerky, both freshly fried, one plate sprinkled with sesame seeds and the other plate sprinkled with chili powder.
It looks oily and fragrant.
There are two plates of Mongolian fruits, one is thick and about the thickness of a little finger; the other is thin and looks like a willow leaf.
This is all ready-made and can be installed directly on the disk, so it is fast.
Then there are the food boxes from the second house.
One portion of perilla leaves and yellow rice cake, one portion of millet steamed buns, one portion of pork slices, and one portion of mustard cabbage dumplings.
Then came the three schools.
One portion of sauced bones, one portion of fried fungus with yam, one portion of meat buns, and one portion of assorted buns.
The food boxes were the last to be delivered to the four schools because they had to steam their meat.
Except for the four dishes, it is the staple food that the eldest brother and the ninth brother ordered before.
Hot noodle soup, cold sesame paste noodles, mung bean jelly, and iced tofu.
There is also a jar of wine.
The round table was set up and a whole table was set.
The eldest brother was satisfied. Just as he was about to invite the brothers to take their seats, he heard movement at the door.
"Oh? The banquet is about to start, I came just in time!"
It's Kangxi's voice.
Kangxi came, followed by Liang Jiugong, Wei Zhu and a few bodyguards.
"Khan Ama..."
Everyone stood up and went to greet him.
Kangxi's eyes turned from the faces of several elder brothers in turn, and said with a smile: "It's so complete, what a good day it is today?"
Daxing County presented several watermelons as tribute, among which the king melon weighed twenty-one kilograms.
It looks strange.
Kangxi happened to be planning a province for the Queen Mother, so he sent it to the Queen Mother's Palace in person.
The holy driver took the Great North Gate, which happened to pass by Xinwusuo.
As a result, I saw that there was a lot of excitement outside the Tousuo area, with eunuchs carrying lunch boxes coming in and out.
He just strolled over to take a look.
The eldest brother smiled and said: "My son smelled the bacon from Lao Jiu's house and got greedy, so he sent someone to ask for lunch boxes from Lao Jiu. Later, he thought about moving the brothers over, so he invited them all before the party.
"
After that, he said: "Several brothers and sisters were considerate and sent people to bring food. Khan, Ama, you caught up and tried the cooking skills of my brother..."
Kangxi was also interested, so he nodded and was asked to take his seat.
The fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother sat on the left side of Kangxi one after another.
The eldest elder brother is the master, so he sits on the right hand, followed by the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother.
Kangxi looked at the table carefully and felt awkward.
Because the tableware is different, it looks very messy.
But he smiled after taking a few glances, pointed to the two plates of beef jerky, and said to the eldest brother: "This is a gift from Lao Shi's family..."
The eldest brother nodded and said: "Khan Ama has a keen eye. It was indeed sent by the ten younger brothers and sisters."
Not only is the food different, but the utensils are also different. The plates used are all painted with gold and look shiny.
Kangxi looked at the others again, and saw that there were several dishes with clearly distinguishable meat and vegetables, and the utensils were quite decent. They used the in-house made green happiness, wealth, longevity and happiness dishes, which should have been prepared by the Laowu family.
Looking next to it, there are several plain white utensils, all of which are one-piece eight-inch plates. The food on them is simple, which should be prepared by the fourth family.
Looking at the remaining ten or so plates, they are also made of white porcelain, but have different shapes, matching the dishes inside. These should be prepared by Laojiu's family.
Hearing the eldest brother mention bacon, he took a second look at the steamed bacon. He looked at the ninth brother with a half-smile and said, "It's rare, but you are polite!"
Brother Jiu was dissatisfied and said: "Look at what you said, it seems that my son is really rude. Doesn't he know the rules passed down from ancient times to the present?"
Except for the tenth elder brother, everyone else didn't know the reason and looked at the ninth elder brother out of curiosity.
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said: "By the way, I haven't told any of my brothers yet. Khan Amma has shown me a 'Prince's Master' for my brother's grace. Today's bacon jerky is to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony. I want it."
If we don’t celebrate this today, why don’t we celebrate this? Hehe, brothers, please remember to make up for it later..."
The eldest brother said happily: "Make up! But we have agreed to send more lunch boxes in the future!"
Brother Jiu smiled and said, "I don't need to ask you to tell me. I'm considerate of you. I've already told my brother Fujin that the dining room here is not complete. When I stay here for the night in the future, I'll just send someone to the fourth place to pick up the food."
The eldest brother nodded and said: "Thank you, brother, Jiu Di for your compassion, and I will give you a big one with my share of the money!"
The ninth elder brother smiled happily and looked at the fourth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother frowned, he really couldn't stand the greedy appearance of the ninth elder brother, especially this was in front of the emperor.
In front of the emperor...
He swallowed the scolding words and nodded reluctantly under Brother Jiu's gaze.
The fifth elder brother looked confused and said, "It's a good thing that you have a teacher, but it has nothing to do with family money?"
Brother Jiu stretched out his hand and said: "Why is it irrelevant? Not to mention one more Ama, it is too much for Ama, and there is also a teacher's wife. First, the apprenticeship ceremony, and then the 'three festivals and two lives' can't be missed, and the younger brother can't miss it."
I’m so worried! My brothers caught up and helped me, which also alleviated the famine..."
The fifth elder brother was immediately convinced, nodded and said: "It's a sad person, and you don't have any benefit, then I will also take a big share!"
"Yeah, yeah!" Brother Jiu responded hurriedly.
At this moment, he felt something was wrong with him. When he lowered his head, he saw that Lao Shi was poking him under the table.
He looked at Brother Ten, who quickly gave him a look.
The brothers have a tacit understanding for a long time.
Brother Jiu closed his mouth and looked up carefully.
Kangxi's face was as dark as water. He was looking at him coldly and snorted: "Little Banla Ama?"
Brother Jiu's eyes rolled around and he gestured hurriedly, saying: "It can't reach Xiaobanla, it should be smaller. It's just a metaphor. Doesn't this mean that the Han people pay attention to the king of heaven and earth, the king, the teacher, and the teacher? My son must also learn to 'respect the teacher and respect the Tao'."
…”
Kangxi still had a droopy face and said: "Learning anything is just a fool's errand. If you only know a little bit about it, since you know that 'the king of heaven and earth is your teacher', you should understand that 'the king' is in front. Although you are teachers and students, there is a distinction between superiority and inferiority. You are the young master."
Jun, don’t lose your identity!”
Brother Jiu stood up and listened, and said honestly: "My son knows that he will respect himself and love himself, and will not mess up his dignity."
Kangxi's expression softened slightly and he said, "What are you preparing for the apprenticeship ceremony?"
Brother Jiu said: "Referring to the ancient rites, I prepared the 'six rites', including celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan, and bacon. Because there was no bacon, my son Fujin asked the kitchen to bake some biltong..."
The table became quieter and quieter.
The eldest brother has never liked to argue with his younger brothers, and now he is grinding his teeth.
Even if the bacon is more troublesome, it's just troublesome.
It is also meat, not gold or silver.
Plus a few other items, does it add up to two taels of silver?
