God don't even try to stop me from doing infrastructure!

"Where is Menis?" Yunze asked his maid, Amei.

"Master Menis is next door." Amei replied.

After getting the news he wanted, Yunze was going to look for him, but suddenly he thought of something: "Amei, take a good rest today, don't touch the cold water with your hands, let Mrs. Asi prepare some hot jujube tea for the next few days "The southern region of Taixi produces dates, which are dried and sent to the library. They are as sweet as honey. Women in their menstrual period need the comfort of sweets.

Amei's face turned red, and she replied in a low voice, "Yes, Your Highness."

Yunze also felt embarrassed, touched his nose and hurried away.

Yunze rarely went to the room next door to Menis, even though they lived next door, it was Menis who always came to look for him.

There were two guards standing in his room, Yunze often saw these two people, they were probably Menis' confidantes.As soon as they saw Yunze approaching, they stepped aside consciously, and saluted respectfully: "His Royal Highness, Son of God, today is well."

"Good day today." Yun Ze nodded to the two of them, and reached out to knock on the door.

"Your Highness, you go in directly." A guard stretched out his hand and pushed the door open as if he was afraid that Yunze's knock would hurt his hand.

"Who?" Menis' voice came from inside.

"it's me."

Then there was the sound of the chair being pushed away and the cloth rubbing against each other. Yunze had already walked in. Seeing Menis put down the parchment and quill, he came over with some surprise and surprise, his footsteps were a little bigger than usual: "Your Highness."

"Today's banquet, won't you prepare it with me?" Menis is always behind him for everything, and he will point out any problems, and he can solve any troubles. Suddenly there is no one to guide, Yunze feels Not very comfortable.

"You're the host of the party, and you're the one everyone wants to see. And, you've been doing a great job."

"How come? You are half the master."

Yunze's obedient appearance really made Menis feel itchy, and this kind of words made him soft-hearted, but he couldn't agree.This is the first time Yunze holds a banquet as the Son of God. He must be the only decision maker, and Menis can assist from the side, but the authority of the Son of God must not be taken away.

The Son of God is the Son of God, not someone's puppet.

"Your Highness, you are the only master, not only this family, but also mine." Meinis stretched out his hand to take Yunze's hand, and put his palm on his beating chest, with a pair of brown eyes tenderly, "The priest wants to serve you." God exists, and I am here to serve you."

Yunze: ...

Just speak well, don't touch your hands, I will misunderstand you like this.

Yunze blushed, he coughed lowly, and turned his face away: "If I don't do something well, you have to remind me."

"You've been doing very well." In case something was not done well, I secretly corrected it, so don't hit Yunze.Menis thought so.

In the end, no one was invited, and he came out again in a daze.Yunze sighed silently looking at the already bright sky.

Although he was going to take the silly white sweet route from the beginning, but the people around him really indulged him too much. If he keeps getting used to it without any bottom line, he won't really become a silly white sweet in the future, right?

Yunze imagined a silly landlord's son, and he was shocked by himself, so he couldn't look directly at the picture.He shook his head, got rid of the scene, and walked downstairs towards the reception hall.

The hall was originally built according to the specifications for entertaining hundreds of guests. It is supported by eight huge stone pillars. There is a hanging curtain between the stone pillars and the stone pillars. The translucent curtain divides the space. Can only vaguely see the shadow inside.

The ground is a flat stone ground, which is composed of pieces of bluestone.The ground in the middle is slightly higher, which is where the dancers dance to add to the fun. The four sides have been covered with linen mats, with wool blankets and soft embroidered pillows on it.

Yunze consulted carefully, and this kind of banquet with more than [-] people still adopts the method of sitting on the floor. The maids bring the food on the low table, and arrange a group of maids who walk around holding wine glasses to pour wine for the guests.Taixi people love this cup too much.

Directly above there is a raised platform, usually reserved for the most dignified people at the banquet, this time it will be the seat of the king and first princess.There is a tall copper censer on both sides of this seat, and on top of it is a wolf howling towards the sky, and smoke comes out of the wolf's mouth.

The incense burner is a gift from someone else, but the incense burnt inside is made by Yunze.

Yunze went to the kitchen again. Today's menu is corn barbecue pizza, medium-rare steak (of course, it may not be so accurate), spicy beef strips, grilled fresh corn, chicken fried steak, various small breads, jam cream cake , corn cakes, corn vegetable chicken salad, pepper mutton soup, corn cream soup... Half of them will be related to corn, and the rest will be pasta and meat, such as ginger and milk.

In fact, the meat and noodles are not used much, but the spices are used a lot.Plenty of barbecue sauce and black pepper sauce are required, along with jams and salad dressings, not to mention other odds and ends of spices and sauces.Yunze does not have so many ready-made ones, and many of them are configured with local substitute spices.

It was also at this time that Yunze realized the concept of 'spices are more expensive than gold'.

"Is there enough wine?" Yunze asked Wusu.

"There is no wheat planted this year, so there is not much ale. There are 56 barrels. His Royal Highness's wine estate sent 48 barrels of wine this year. You re-filter them, add spices for secondary brewing, and filter again. Now there are [-] barrels. In addition, there are seventeen barrels of pomegranate wine. Apple cider, kirsch and mead are the least, only two barrels."

Yunze nodded: "If the guests don't ask for it, I will give wine. The pomegranate wine is for the ladies. If the guests ask, it is for the ladies only. The children drink milk tea and fruit juice, and add a little sweet jam to the milk tea."

In the afternoon, the sun shone warmly on the yard, dyeing the house golden.

Yunze stood in front of the door for a while, making a final check.

The servants at the other end also changed their clothes and walked over neatly, waiting for new instructions below.Before they had to work, they were still wearing old clothes.Now that the house has been cleaned, the next thing to do is to make food and put on new clothes.

The style of slaves' clothes is regulated, and there is no way to work on it. Moreover, slaves cannot wear hats with patterns and decorations, and cannot use precious metal jewelry such as gold and silver.This leaves less room for modification.

The servants in his family put on the new clothes they had been reluctant to wear on this day, and put on beautiful belts. The girls also wore pink, purple, red, yellow, and orange dried wild flowers on their heads. They looked at the water. Looked and looked and looked and looked and looked and couldn't get enough.

The evening banquet, according to the rules here, will start at three or four in the afternoon, and people will come one after another, and the food will be served before the sun goes down at the latest.

A dinner party with a scale of [-] people is relatively grand. It usually lasts for one night. The guests will stay overnight, and they will leave the next day if they are in a normal relationship. one month.

The guests who came to the banquet this time were all locals, and they would go back after staying for at most one night.

Therefore, the same preparations have been made and the vacant rooms in the house have been cleaned, and the curtains have also been hung, new thick quilts have been placed, and small incense sticks have been placed.I dare not say how gorgeous it is, but it is guaranteed to be comfortable.

The servants at home knew what kind of guests they were inviting, and they all waited in full force, trying to do their best so as not to disgrace His Highness the Son of God.

Yunze turned his head and saw Menis standing on the side of a stone pillar in the corridor not far away, looking at him.

Menis was wearing a new cotton robe, dyed light blue with a local plant, with green vines embroidered on the cuffs.His hair hangs down, like those statues carved by masters in museums.

Unlike ordinary Taixi men, Menis's chin was clean, he kept looking towards Yunze, his eyes passed through countless servants walking around, and bumped into Yunze in mid-air.

Meinis found that Yunze was looking for him, and had already found him. Although he couldn't see the subtle expressions on his face from a distance, Meinis was sure that he must be asking himself: Am I doing well?

Very good, very good.

Menis stretched out his hand towards that side, showing a thumb, and the thumb was bent.

It's some little signal that only they understand.The first time Yunze received this signal, the corners of his mouth began to curl up triumphantly.

The royal family and the temple are very respectful. When the sun is half-slanted, chariots and horses will come to the door, lined up in long formations.Yunze can only be thankful that the current feudal slave owners have not stipulated how grand and pompous travel must be, and there are not so many rules in this world.

In this era of military strength, civil servants have both hands to save their lives, and the martial arts of princes and grandchildren is one of the necessary quality assessments for successors. There is no tradition that a gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall.Therefore, after the carriages and horses are unloaded, the guards of everyone will be gathered together, and several patrol teams will be divided, and another group will guard the door, and the rest can just fill a backyard.

The first time I visited Yunze's house, almost everyone brought gifts.The aristocrats these days are also pragmatic, and they don’t give flashy things. What they send are real food, livestock, and cloth, all of which can be used for their own use or as currency at any time.

Because of the banquet, Yunze consumed a batch of food and livestock. When the guests came, they not only made up for what was used up, but doubled it.

But the royal family didn't bring anything, Yunze suspected that they were going to hold back a big one.Judging from the records of his relationship with the royal family after he came, he has never lost money once.

The king came with his first princess, and all the children alive.The priests were still the same nine, accompanied by their most proud disciples, and there were also several powerful and important officials from Taixi, all with their wives and a child.

All these masters add up to about a hundred people.As the host, Yunze waited in front of the house to welcome him, because the halo of the Son of God shrouded him, so he didn't need to kneel down and salute, as long as he gave a little extra smiling face, it seemed that the other party was quite satisfied.

The king is an existence with both divine power and royal power. Yunze followed the local tradition of receiving distinguished guests, stretched out his hand to hold the hand of the king who was like a jewelry display stand, and led him to the upper seat like a good brother, and invited him to join him. The first princess sat on it, expressing her respect and importance to them.

It is difficult to mine heavy metals and ores, so everyone regards exquisite jewelry as a kind of wealth to display to the outside world. During the holidays, they can't wait to put all their beautiful jewelry on their bodies.I heard that the people of Taixi are better. Over the past few decades, they have become a powerful country, and they have more confidence. In terms of choosing jewelry, they have begun to be more expensive and less expensive.

But that's it, as soon as this group of glittering people came in, there were gold, silver, and precious stones on their heads, arms, wrists, fingers, necks, waists, and feet, all of which set off the clouds. Very plain and low-key.

There was only one sheepskin rug in the upper seat, which was quite large, and the king took the first princess to sit there without any politeness.Several serving maids knelt behind them.

Yunze sat in the lower seat by himself, and Mines calmly pushed away a group of princes and princesses who were still staring at his face in a daze, and directly occupied the back seat on Yunze's right.

Several young priests scolded him in their hearts for being too a thief. This position is just right, like a servant and a friend.It will not make other priests feel rude and offensive, and firmly occupy the most intimate place next to the Son of God.

The other seats below Yunze's right hand gathered other priests and priests.So the third prince and the fourth prince sat opposite to Yunze, and below them were other princes and princesses.The prince born out of the first princess naturally enjoys the first inheritance right, and the status of the other princes is lower than the two of them.

Taixi's offspring of the royal family, the left minister and the right minister, the general and others quietly found other vacancies.

Seeing that everyone had already taken their seats, Yunze clapped his hands lightly, signaling to Wusu who was guarding the door, that the banquet had officially begun.
