Served with several vegetarian side dishes, yam, fungus, glutinous rice and lotus root, assorted cabbage rolls, cold radish leaves, roasted gluten, and stir-fried bean sprouts with vermicelli.
The staple food is thin gluten cakes, served with corn porridge.
It looks like a dazzling array of things, but in fact, it only costs a few taels of silver to set up a table.
The third elder brother touched his purse and found half a bunch of money left in it. The amount of silver was dozens of taels, so there was no loss.
If you expect to have a feast, you won't get anything back.
The eldest brother thinks that the food prepared today is good, but everything that comes out of the oven is divided into spicy and non-spicy.
The spicy ones taste delicious.
Brother Si thought the side dishes were good, especially the assorted cabbage rolls. Although it was a vegetarian dish, it had a rich taste.
The fifth brother is eating grilled pork belly, which is fat and thin, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It tastes oily.
The eighth prince glanced at the cold radish tassels.
This should be in the greenhouse of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, I just saw it.
To whom did Brother Jiu say those words before he took everyone to the greenhouse?
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were as good as one person. Not only did they come in and go out together, they even invited guests together.
Lao Shi sent people over there to pick vegetables, can he still stop him?
You can't just tell it to Fourth Brother, right?
I heard that Dong E's family and Si Fujin get along very well...
The brother next to me is far away, and he won't ask anyone to come here just for a bite of food.
The only one who lives next to me is myself.
The eighth prince took a mouthful of radish tassels and ate them, and he felt quite bitter.
The seventh elder brother also saw the carrot tassel, and his thoughts were similar to those of the eldest elder brother.
There are so many empty rooms in the house, what are they doing for nothing?
As for charcoal, there is no shortage of it, so we can ask someone to prepare a greenhouse, and there is no need to plant too complicated vegetables. Just plant some cabbage, radish, lettuce, etc., and it will be delicious in the pot later...

The Ninth Prince's Mansion also held a banquet.
The sisters-in-law opened a round table in the main room.
The younger ones are in the Western Room.
The twelfth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, and the four princesses from Zhijun Prince's Palace sat at the round table on the ground.
There were five little brothers left, and two little Geges were sitting on the Kang table.
In the whole morning, the children were not hungry even with food and play in the West Garden.
Chirping, still talking about the snacks at "Daji".
"The candied dates and candied haws on a stick are delicious, even sweeter..." This was the loud voice of Qibele Mansion.
"Yam and beans are also delicious, noodles..." This is the loud voice of Sibeile Mansion.
"The steamed buns are the most delicious!" Hongsheng said in a loud voice.
"Fried liver, fried liver, fragrant..." Hong Qing's voice.
"The noodle tea is delicious, sesame sauce..." Hong Shu's voice.
"Are goldfish delicious?" Honghui started to digress.
"The goldfish is small, let's eat the rabbit..." Hong Yu said with a "hee hee" smile.
"Don't eat little rabbits..." Hongshu said with a crying sound.
"The nephews are so lively..." Xiao Fifteen's voice said.
Although Shu Shu's mother-in-law has a younger brother, Zhuliang, Xiaosan, and Xiaosi are relatively quiet in temperament. Xiaowu doesn't make a fuss, and Xiaoliu is the only one who is lively and can't make trouble.
Now I have gained a lot of experience.
The room was boiling like the sky was full.
Brother Fourteen was already very stable before, but now he has become the king of children. He shouted: "You all behave well. Uncle Fourteen will give you chicken legs and pigeon legs. If you are not good, you will be given a chicken butt..."
Some of the children responded obediently, and some just laughed.
Chicken butt, hee hee, another new word...
*
Shu Shu and others were in the main room and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
San Fujin pursed his lips and smiled: "The fourteenth brother is still so lively..."
Si Fujin smiled and said, "It's hard to comment. This is my mother-in-law's darling."
Wu Fujin looked at Shu Shu and said, "Thanks to a few brothers today, otherwise, how would we be able to see so many children?"
Qi Fujin also echoed: "Yes, I really didn't see it. The elder brothers think that the child is decent, and they will also be good mothers in the future."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Fortunately, I have three brothers to help me, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to let go!"
I ate this meal late, and by the time I finished it, I was already in the early stages of my pregnancy.
Everyone is leaving too.
The golden gourd that Shu Shu had prepared for the juniors as a gift was directly used by Kangxi, but she did not lack gold utensils here.
Each of the six royal grandsons, Princess, has a pair of gold bracelets; each of the five royal grandsons, each has a gold lock.
The twelfth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, a pair of small versions of Jin Ruyi...
*
The Tenth Prince's Mansion.
It's faster to eat here.
After the banquet was cleared, Kangxi went back to the palace.
I had half a day's leisure in my life.
It's already rare, and it's not good to stay outside for too long.
When the carriage driven by the Holy Master left, the eldest brother grabbed the ninth brother and said, "I have been holding back for a long time. Should I tell you what happened to the gold today?"
Brother Jiu smiled and said, "Isn't it just for fun? The gold is bright and yellow. When pressed into money, it looks pleasing to the eye; but when it is changed to silver, it doesn't look bright at all!"
As for the copper one, that one is not decent.
The eldest brother hummed softly: "Then tell me, are you short of money or not?"
Brother Jiu said generously: "If you are not short of money, you are not short of these three melons and two dates..."
As he said that, he remembered the meeting gift he had paid for Kangxi in advance. He looked at everyone and said with pain: "But you can't spend money blindly. Khan Ama came in a hurry today and didn't prepare a meeting gift for the younger generation. But I paid for it in advance, and it turned out to be a waste."
We have all caught it, here and there, but I have suffered a big loss. Should I just settle the score and divide it into eight parts?"
The six brothers who came to visit today, plus him and Lao Shi, are the two hosts.
Others responded, and the third elder brother hurriedly waved his hands and said: "It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate, that's not how it was calculated. It was a meeting gift given by Khan Ama to his grandchildren. How can we share it?"
The fourth elder brother glared at the ninth elder brother and was too lazy to talk to him.
I had lied before to borrow money, but when I saw that it was about to be exposed, I didn't realize it and started to care about the small money.
The fifth elder brother was led into a ditch by the ninth elder brother again, and I think it makes sense.
But dividing it into eight doesn't seem appropriate.
Lao Ba and Lao Ten have no children.
The children of Lao Jiu's family didn't live in the country, and they didn't get this share.
He glanced at the eldest brother, then at the fourth brother and the seventh brother, did the math, and said: "How about we divide it into eleven, with the eldest brother having five shares, the fourth brother and the seventh brother having two shares, and me and
Third brother, one portion!"
In this case, no one suffers a loss, it is equivalent to making up for the loss of his own little one.
Brother Jiu's heart skipped a beat after hearing this, and then he thought about the Qianqing Palace, and then stopped thinking.
If he really settles the accounts according to Fifth Brother's calculations today, I'll probably kick him in the face if I know about it later.
Forget it, for the sake of the five hundred thousand taels of silver.
He waved his hand and said: "I was just joking, isn't it just money? There is no shortage of money!"
The eldest brother hooked his neck and hummed softly: "There is no shortage of money, let's clear the account first!"
Those who spend money lavishly, really want to spend it carelessly, but feel sorry for the dead.
Brother Ninth: "..."
He was a little tired, looked at his eldest brother and said: "Brother, it was agreed upon for two and a half years, and it's less than a month!"
If it had been a few days earlier, it would have been easier to withdraw money, but now it's too late.
All have been replaced by land.
Only Khan'ama's five hundred thousand taels remained untouched.
That one was set aside to build a palace, and there was a surplus of 300,000 yuan, which I planned to send to Yunnan to buy tea mountains.
The fifth elder brother knew that everyone's money had been misappropriated by the ninth elder brother, and he said with shame: "Brother is in a hurry to use money? How much do you want to use? Let me gather it together first..."
The eldest brother rolled his eyes and said, "This is between me and Lao Jiu, it has nothing to do with you!"
It is true that living in this mansion requires a lot of expenses, and the ninth elder brother is really like the elder brother when it comes to spending money.
He thought for a while and said: "The money I borrowed in advance is already limited. If the eldest brother is short of money now, I will tell you the amount and the younger brother will see if he can move it. But we have agreed, two cents in profit!"
Brother Zhu: "..."
The eldest brother rubbed his fingers and made a clicking sound, grinding his teeth and said: "It's quite generous, I didn't ask for three points!"
Brother Jiu said grandly: "That's three points of profit. It's not like an outside money bank."
The fifth elder brother was anxious and looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "What did Hun say? My brothers helped you collect money before, but who raised the profit?"
It's only been half a month, why have you turned against me and refused to recognize anyone?
Brother Jiu's face showed pride, he pointed to his nose, cleared his throat, and said: "My brother has made a profit! It's profit, not interest!"
Seeing that he was so proud that his tail would be wagging if he had one, the eldest brother couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Then tell the truth, what are you doing to fool people under the guise of borrowing money?"
Times have changed.
Stay safe.
There is nothing that cannot be said.
Brother Ninth raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "The total plate is only that big. Originally, I left a quota of 50,000 for each of my brothers, thinking that I could earn pocket money with everyone, but to be honest, if everyone wants If you score more points, what should you do? The palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh. Who is it? I thought, when the time comes, if everyone scores more points and scores less, it won't be my fault. It's also 'good people will be rewarded'. 'It's up!"
The eldest brother's hands were extremely itchy, so he couldn't help it, so he patted the ninth brother on the shoulder twice.
The third elder brother's eyes were bright and he asked: "Then where do I rank?"
Right bet!
Seeing how lavish Lao Jiu is on weekdays, why are you so embarrassed about the lack of bonuses?
Brother Jiu did the math in his mind, and it seemed that he was fourth or fifth...
It's just that the eldest brother told me not to mention the 50,000 yuan from the concubine's mother. What was said at that time was 100,000 yuan.
The fourth brother also gave instructions and told the outside world that it was one hundred thousand...
Fifth brother also lied to the outside world, saying it was 150,000...
Brother Ninth Brother had no way to tell the truth, so he just smiled and said: "Anyway, Third Brother is the first to open up this time..."
