"Not interested!" Lu Chen chuckled and shook his head. He was joking. He had never seen any kind of beauties before coming to Datang. Whether they were on the computer or in reality, from social butterflies to celebrities, Lu Chen's level when he went on the mission was nothing he had not seen before. The reason why he was interested in Changyuan Building was just because of the way it was run.
"What a pity!" After hearing what Lu Chen said, Cheng Yaojin looked a little disappointed and shook his head. "I'm just not interested. Is it a pity that Su Guogong has to say?" Lu Chen looked at Cheng Yaojin and asked. "It's a pity that Mr. Lu wasted your face!" Cheng Yaojin said with some sourness, "If our old Cheng had a face like yours, he would definitely be among thousands of flowers and not a single leaf would touch him!" Yaojin looked at Lu Chen's face and said with a lewd smile.
"You can just talk about it! If you really dare to do this, aren't you afraid that Mrs. Su Guo will deal with you?" Chai Shao knew that Cheng Yaojin was just talking about it, and the relationship between Cheng Yaojin and Sun It's not bad. After all, Cheng Yaojin and Sun Shi are almost like Chai Shao and Li Xiuning, a couple in need. Therefore, Sun Shi has a much higher say than Cheng Yaojin in Su Guogong's mansion.
"Chai Prince Consort, of all people, you are the only one who can't say this to me, Old Cheng. Then Your Highness Princess Pingyang stares at you, aren't you cowardly?" Cheng Yaojin was teased by Chai Shao, and Cheng Yaojin naturally didn't do it either. He would let Chai Shao go and fight back directly. Lu Chen smiled and watched the two princes bickering like children.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the private room, and at the same time, the waiter's voice came: "My lords, the food and drinks are here!" The waiter's voice was full of respect. Lu Chen stood up and walked over and opened the door of the private room. Outside the door, there were several waiters carrying trays. Naturally, the trays contained the food and wine arranged by Chai Shao.
"Sir, please step out of the way!" The waiter in the lead said to Lu Chen respectfully. Lu Chen took a step back and opened the door to the private room. The waiters outside the door filed in and put the food and wine in their hands on the table. It is said to be one of the best restaurants in Chang'an, but in fact, the cooking methods here are just steaming, boiling, stewing, and roasting. And since it is winter, beef and mutton are basically the main dishes on the table. It can be regarded as green vegetables, but it turns out to be pickle soup.
Looking at the meat and pickle soup on the table, Lu Chen felt that he had no appetite before eating. Mainly because as a modern person, whenever he eats, he always eats meat and vegetables, and this pure meat-free dish, Lu Chen lost his appetite after just one look.
"What? Brother Xian, do you dislike the food and wine here?" Seeing Lu Chen's strange expression, Chai Shao looked at Lu Chen and asked with a smile, "It's good to be able to eat these in this season. Do you think I can follow you everywhere?" Is it the same as Lujiazhuang?" Chai Shao teased Lu Chen with a smile.
"It's not that I dislike it, it's just that I think this table is a little too greasy!" Lu Chen explained helplessly as he looked at Chai Shao.
"Is this too greasy?" Originally, when Chai Shao said that the food and wine here could not be compared with that of Lujiazhuang, the other gentlemen who did not know that Lujiazhuang had green vegetables all looked at Chai Shao in surprise and thought to themselves. : "Chai Shao, even if you want to praise Mr. Lu in front of us, you don't have to worry about food, right?"
It is impossible for them to eat all these wines and dishes in their own house. It is not that meat cannot be eaten, but the problem of pickles. After all, pickles are considered vegetables in this era and season, and this thing You can't eat it all the time. After all, in Lu Chen's opinion, these things are just like pickles, but salt is still very rare, so they are all vegetables pickled with sauce, so they are called pickles.
As for their family, in order to eat pickles, they even studied a kind of noodle called "Huitang Wuku". It was said to be called "Huitang Wuku", but it was actually equivalent to the noodles with soup that we eat now, with added... Lamb, vegetables and other ingredients are similar to the current Xi'an mutton braised noodles. A bowl of staple food, meat, vegetables, and soup can be said to be the first choice food for both wealthy and ordinary people in this era. And on this table, the "Huitang Arsenal" is naturally indispensable, and Lu Chen's eyes are naturally on the "Huitang Arsenal". Compared with those greasy meats, only this "Huitang Arsenal" "Arsenal" can still give Lu Chen some appetite.
Naturally, Chai Shao felt the gazes of other young masters. Chai Shao's heart was immediately filled with a sense of superiority. After all, Lu Chen asked Su Dingfang to send green vegetables to his and Li Xiuning's mansion. When he first saw the green vegetables, whether it was Li Xiuning Both Chai Shao's eyes widened, especially the brothers Chai Lingwu and Chai Zhewei. They reached out and grabbed a handful of vegetables and stuffed them into their mouths. Seeing the performance of these two brothers, they directly showed it to Su Dingfang next to them. Stupid, but Su Dingfang knew what he should do at that time. He turned his head and looked in other directions, pretending he didn't see it.
The two eldest sons of the mighty Princess Pingyang of the Tang Dynasty actually ate raw green vegetables without any image. It would be okay if this happened. In fact, Su Dingfang was also used to eating these things in Lu Chen's mansion. What he didn't know was , if they were not concerned about their image and dignity, when Chai Shao and Li Xiuning saw this big basket of green vegetables, they would have wanted to be like their sons and go up and take a bite first.
As for Chai Shao saying this, he was naturally teasing Lu Chen for living too comfortably in Lujiazhuang, eating and drinking so well. However, Chai Shao still looked at Lu Chen with inquiring eyes. Lu Chen naturally knew what Chai Shao's inquiring eyes meant, and nodded his head imperceptibly. Chai Shao wanted to show off his superiority in front of the other people, so Lu Chen naturally He would not fail to give Chai Shao this face.
"Chai Prince Consort, we, Old Cheng, are not convinced by your words! Is it possible that the Duke of Lu County can still eat green vegetables?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Chai Shao and asked unconvinced. Even after he finished speaking, he He even laughed. Obviously in this season, even the emperor may not be able to eat green vegetables every day, let alone Lu Chen, the county official!
"Old Cheng, I've known you for so long, and this time you guessed it right!" Who knew that Cheng Yaojin's original intention was to tease Chai Shao, but Chai Shao actually nodded seriously and admitted that Lu Chen could indeed eat it every day Serving the dishes, "Even County Duke Lu gave Chai a basket of green vegetables. Now Chai and Her Royal Highness can also eat green vegetables!" When Chai Shao said this, he proudly lifted his chest, He directly looked at several others with contempt.
At this time, Chai Shao felt so comfortable. It was even better than when he led the troops to win. After all, the few people sitting here, except for Lu Chen, were all famous generals in the world. Winning the war was important to them. It was said that the number of times was simply too many, but Chai Shao felt proud because he could eat green vegetables while others could not.
"Is this serious?" Hearing what Chai Shao said, everyone turned their eyes to Lu Chen. As for Chai Shao's triumphant appearance, he was directly ignored by this group of people, and this group of people at this time His performance directly made Chai Shao, who was still very proud, feel like he was unable to exert his strength.
Lu Chen didn't answer, just nodded. "Um, Mr. Lu, this green vegetable..." Seeing Lu Chen nodding in recognition, Cheng Yaojin licked his big face and smiled at Lu Chen.
"Everyone here today should be old friends of Consort Chai, right?" Lu Chen looked at the princes here and smiled.
"Yes! Yes!" Everyone nodded. In fact, those who can be invited to this private banquet by Chai Shao are all people with good relationships. People who are not of the same temperament are unlikely to be invited here by Chai Shao, and Lu Chen's question is naturally based on this point.
"In that case, then Foolish Brother has something to say!" Lu Chen looked around at these people. When everyone heard that Lu Chen had something to say, they all immediately became quiet and looked at Lu Chen.
"The matter of green vegetables is actually not a big deal!" Lu Chen said with a smile, "It's just that the production at my place is really not able to supply everyone's house!" Lu Chen paused here.
"Brother Lu Xian, we don't want it in vain, we can pay for it!" It was Qin Qiong who said this. Qin Qiong had been sitting there quietly from beginning to end, watching these people laughing and laughing. Now when he heard Lu Chen say this, Qin Qiong said The first words he said upon entering this private room.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Qin!" When he heard Qin Qiong said that he could pay for it, Lu Chen said with a cold face and looked a little unhappy, "Since Brother Yu asked Brother Chai to tell this matter, he didn't say that he wanted to sell it. I mean, it’s just that the current production cannot supply so many households!” Lu Chen smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, and then continued, “You don’t know, but the green vegetables produced at home now have Part of it is to be sent to His Majesty!”
As soon as Lu Chen said this, these people understood that Lu Chen really had no intention of selling. After all, if the palace wanted green vegetables, the quantity would not be small. In fact, how did they know that Lu Chen just gave them to him? Li Yuan only has two baskets.
"But..." Just when these people thought there was no hope, Lu Chen suddenly changed the subject, and Lu Chen's words brought the group's attention back. Everyone looked at Lu Chen at the same time. Chen.
"Actually, Brother Yu has already started cultivating green vegetables on a trial basis in Lujiazhuang. There will be no problem in supplying green vegetables to all the wise brothers, but I'm afraid you will need to cooperate with Brother Yu to do something!" Lu Chen said this and said something bad to these people. A naughty smile, and when these people saw Lu Chen's naughty smile, they knew that someone must be in trouble.
"Brother Lu Xian, if you need my help if you need anything, just say so!" Qin Qiong saw that Lu Chen was very generous.
