Who are the eunuchs? They are all the most sinister people in the world, the ones who are the best at making people famous and suppressing them, with dark and perverted psychology!
Indeed, they are indeed innocent, and they are also victims of the system, but if they cannot change the system, they can only be the tombkeepers of this system. Instead, they become psychologically compliant with this perverted system.
Eunuchs are very selfish and pragmatic, and they don't know how to hide it at all. If you are useful, of course you will be polite. If you are not useful, then you can't expect to get a good look.
Yisiha was the most crowded among the guards. Even the ordinary Sula eunuchs were not afraid of him, let alone someone of Li Lianying's level. When he saw this wimp who was stupid enough to peek into the inner palace, he became angry. Don't hit any place.
"Get out! I'll get angry when I see this fool..."
A group of servants raised by the concierge rolled up their sleeves and were about to come over to attack him. However, Li Tuo said with a smile on his face, "Master, calm down... don't be angry. Isiha is running errands for me. For my sake, let him Just wait in the concierge...just wait!"
For Li Tuo's sake, Li Lianying didn't scold Yi Siha: "Master Li, you are also a new celebrity in the court. Even if you are looking for an errand boy, you have to find someone smarter, right? Such a fool." You also want to..."
"Come on, even if I didn't tell you, you are so kind-hearted that you don't want to see fools being bullied, so just wait for the concierge..."
No one gave Isiha any shame. He stood alone in the concierge blowing the cold air. None of the servants who looked after the concierge bothered to open their eyes to look at him, and they didn't even take a sip of hot tea.
Isiha could only laugh at the unfamiliar old housekeeper of the Li Tuo family and the bearers, and didn't know what to say. Not to mention how embarrassing the scene was!
It was quiet at night, and only some noisy sounds could be heard from the direction of Dashilan. Li Lianying's house was just to the east of Dashilar. It means to find tranquility in the noise. The further back you go, the better the atmosphere. I don't know where to transplant it. The ancient trees that came here are lush and lush, and the newly built house actually has some vicissitudes of a hundred years.
"Okay...it's really good...Master Manager, this house can't be bought without a hundred thousand taels. Not to mention the land, just the decorations and decorations will cost so much money!"
"Haha, Mr. Li, you are mistaken..." The housekeeper of Li Lianying's mansion was observing his words, "My housekeeper spent a total of 200,000 yuan to buy this small courtyard!"
"There are several cypress trees here that were transplanted from Changbai Mountain outside the customs. The freight alone is expensive..."
"You're the only one who talks nonsense like an old dog?" Li Lianying scolded the servant clearly, but he was actually very happy in his heart. Everyone has a mentality of showing off.
"Money or not, it's all the grace of Lafayette. If we, as slaves, can do our jobs well, we must enjoy happiness... Mr. Li Tuo, your house is better than mine. It's in a good location. In the inner city, I'm in the south city!"
"Oh...father-in-law, look at what you said...you don't even have to say that you want this house. I will transfer it to you tomorrow!"
"Nonsense... How dare you change hands with what Lafayette gave you? I don't dare to ask for it yet. Come on, let's go into the flower hall and have a drink... The food and drinks have been prepared for a long time!"
It is really a master chef invited by Suhang. The aroma is astounding as soon as you enter the flower hall. The little maid who serves is busy opening the white porcelain bowl that is kept warm. The plates of exquisite Jiangnan dishes are a feast for the eyes.
Crystal meat, snowflake crab bucket, blanched dried shreds, crab meat and lion head... squirrel fish, mother oil boat duck, eel paste... There are a total of twelve dishes, and the drink is the 18-year-old Zhuangyuanhong. , the color of the wine has turned amber, and long strands seem to hang out when poured into the cup.
"Ouch... Ouch... I say, Mr. Manager, it would take a day to prepare a table even in Suhang. Are you going to eat it every day with a water license?" Li Tuo really didn't expect it.
The housekeeper smiled, and a maid next to him pulled some mechanism on the wall. As a result, there was a crashing sound of wooden signs, and several iron wires suddenly appeared from the green radish on the roof, with more than two hundred water bottles with more than two hundred black and red letters hanging on them. Card.
"Master Li, please take your fancy... There are 236 dishes, you can order whatever you want, and the chef will guarantee that you will eat them all tonight... These dishes are updated twelve times a month, and they will basically become bigger after a year." Change it again..."
"You're welcome, please order a few..." The butler noticed that Li Lianying was in a good mood today and knew that this guest was very important, so he asked Li Tuo to order as if he was offering a treasure.
Li Tuo gave him 20,000 taels of silver during the day, and a gift of 10,000 taels in the evening. This gift was really heavy, so Li Lianying was naturally not stingy and looked at him with encouraging eyes.
"In that case, I'm not polite... Come on..." Li Tuo looked at the water sign and suddenly found a water sign on the corner of the wire.
“Let’s have this Wensi Tofu!”
"Ouch... Mr. Li is going to test the chef's knife skills. Let the chef cook it carefully... Come on, Mr. Li, let's drink first!"
While changing cups, Li Lianying gave a detailed description of the royal family banquet that had just taken place in the imperial garden in the evening. During this period, Cixi really shined, sweeping away the decadence after the failure of the previous palace coup. Not only did the two princes frown and look down on her. , even Ci'an from Beiyuan had to nod in praise.
Before Emperor Tongzhi came into power, this mother-in-law won one game first. This was a good start, and the winnings were great!
"No matter what, this is all Mr. Li's credit. The Za family has to give you a toast..."
"Don't you dare..." At this moment, the door of the flower hall opened, the butler opened the curtain, and the maid came in holding a white porcelain basin. When she opened the lid, she saw that it was Wensi Tofu ordered by Li Tuo.
When Li Tuo took a look, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Wonderful... It's as thin as hair, and it's rare that the thickness is uniform. This knife work is absolutely beautiful..."
"Let me have a taste..." The little maid gave Li Tuo a bowl of cloth. When Li Tuo tasted it, he almost swallowed it all in his tongue.
"Hey... this tastes different from what I have eaten before. The umami taste has more than doubled!"
"This soup is top-notch. Mushrooms, ham, dried bamboo shoots, chicken soup... there must be minced chicken in it to absorb impurities, otherwise it wouldn't be so refreshing!"
"But why is it so fresh and sweet? Jiang Youzhu? Abalone? Crab roe? Is it possible that there are hibiscus and bonito flowers in this soup?"
Li Lianying quickly provoked Brother Thumb, "I am a foodie. I am indeed a foodie. Can I taste the ingredients for the soup with just this bowl of clear soup? It's not easy..."
"But you are wrong. The taste of seafood here does not really contain seafood...but there is a secret recipe!"
The housekeeper hurriedly took a beautiful crystal glass bottle from behind. There was a lot of gray-white powder in it. "Master Li, please take a look... This is a new thing made by Ryukyu. It's called the source of freshness!"
"There are only 2 taels of powder in this small bottle... How much is it worth to you? I got it for 2 taels of gold, slave. And it has a price but no market. It's all in limited supply..."
Li Tuo was dumbfounded at the time, "How much? Two taels of powder... Two taels of gold in exchange for it? You can't buy it yet?"
"That's right! Mr. Li, do you know the benefits of being an official? These are the best seasonings in the world created by Xiao Letian and others, and they are priceless..."
"I heard that it was first sold in Europe, and the European nobles went crazy for this thing... Royal families from all over the world had to queue up*. It is said that this thing is extremely troublesome to produce, and the output is appallingly low!"
"So what we can do is... a pre-sale system... pay first and then deliver the goods, and you have to queue up!"
"The quota we have in the capital is obtained only because of the face of Lord Long Live. It seems that we are only given twenty kilograms per quarter!"
"What can this do? The ministers of the palaces of the Four Nine Cities are not enough...and Ouchi has to take the lion's share?"
Li Tuo went completely crazy, "If you give me 20 kilograms a quarter, is that twenty kilograms of gold in exchange?"
"Pull it down! My Lord Li, the price of the same gold is a friendly price. Only a respectable person can buy it!"
"In the black market down there, prices have already doubled... Let me tell you this, Xiao Letian used this thing to collect at least thirty kilograms of gold from the capital in one quarter!"
