    Chapter 312: [Invite the teacher to dinner]

    Chen Qiuming stood up, looked at Li Chengqian gratefully, bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, His Highness, for your trust!"

    "No, get up, you are Xiao Chen's eldest brother, of course I trust you!" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

    With Li Chengqian¡¯s trust, Chen Qiuming became even more serious about doing things.

    Regarding the layout of the workshop, he divided the workshop into a work area, a rest area, and a work area layout based on Li Chengqian's idea of ??dividing the dispensing pharmacy and the production room.  The rest area is mainly composed of the canteen, which is divided into two work areas, one is the dispensing pharmacy, and the other is the production room.

    When Li Chengqian heard about the cafeteria, he thought of the cafeteria when he was in college, so he told Chen Qiuming what the university cafeteria was like.  Chen Qiuming memorized everything Li Chengqian said with bright eyes.

    What Li Chengqian told him was just an idea, a concept. To realize it here, the people of the Tang Dynasty needed to change it to make it more suitable for the environment of the Tang Dynasty.  So after he finished speaking, he asked Chen Qiuming and Zhu Jie to study inside, while he walked around in the courtyard.

    He mainly wanted to see the pigeons on the farm, but when he walked into the backyard of the village, he found that the village was quite good.  There are no servants living in the backyard. I heard that it is reserved for the owner. If the owner, Li Chengqian, doesn't come to stay, then he can keep it.  Li Chengqian was thinking about moving here for a few days.

    Although there is an East Palace in the palace, which should be one of the few good houses in the world, after living in the East Palace for a long time, it is quite a pleasure to stay in a manor like this for a few days.

    After visiting the manor, Li Chengqian returned to the hall, handed Chen Qiuming the bottle of toilet water that he had just demonstrated to him, and left the manor.

    Back to the East Palace, Li Chengqian still remembered that he wanted to find Kong Yingda to change the memorial, so he did not return to the Xichi Courtyard immediately, but transferred to Chongwen Hall.  But it's a little dark now, and I don't know if Kong Yingda is still in Chongwen Hall.

    When Li Chengqian walked into Chongwen Hall, he saw Kong Yingda holding a scroll in his hand.  Sitting under the lamp and reading quietly, I couldn't help but be stunned.  Kong Yingda looked up and saw Li Chengqian, and smiled: "Your Highness is finally here!"

    He picked up the note left by Li Chengqian from the table and said to Li Chengqian: "Although His Highness's writing skills have not improved, he still remembers my teachings. I am very relieved. After reading this memorial, I have helped His Highness to correct it.  Yes, Your Highness, please take a look."

    Li Chengqian blushed a little when Kong Yingda said that, thanked him, and then took the notebook.  Take a look at the contents inside.  The format of the classical Chinese text made Li Chengqian feel dizzy all of a sudden, but these classical Chinese texts turned over all the vernacular texts written by Old Li. Old Man Kong obviously translated them carefully, especially since Li Chengqian knew that Kong  How much the old man hates vernacular writing.  How painful it was to have him look at the most annoying vernacular translation.  For the sake of Old Man Kong, Li Chengqian also felt that he should finish reading this Chinese text.

    He finally finished reading, saluted Kong Yingda, and said, "Thank you again, Master!"

    "There is no need to say thank you. I will be happy if His Highness can write articles by himself in the future! This one belongs to His Highness today, and this one belongs to me. Your Highness can compare them and learn how to write articles!" Kong Yingda  Hand Li Chengqian's vernacular writing to him.

    Hear these sermons.  Li Chengqian felt a little uncomfortable and was thinking of some excuse to cancel Old Man Kong's homework when he suddenly heard a grunting sound.

    The two of them were stunned. Li Chengqian looked at Old Man Kong¡¯s belly, and Old Man Kong smiled awkwardly.

    "Master, please come to Xichi Courtyard to have dinner with Cheng Qian!" Li Cheng Qian respectfully asked.

    Old Man Kong is waiting for Li Chengqian here.  His stomach was so hungry that Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel moved and invited him to eat with him.

    Old Man Kong didn¡¯t show any pretense and went with Li Chengqian.

    Su Mi and Xiao Chen are waiting for Li Chengqian to come back for dinner.  I was a little surprised to see Confucius coming too.  As soon as Li Chengqian mentioned the matter of inviting Confucius to dinner, Su Mi and Xiao Chen happily invited Confucius to take a seat, and then asked their servants to prepare bowls and chopsticks.  After asking Confucius to sit down, Su Mi and Xiao Chen withdrew.

    Confucius looked at the round table, which was filled with rich dishes, and asked puzzledly: "Your Highness, why don't you sit at separate tables when dining, but this"

    People in the Tang Dynasty had separate meals. They sat on the floor while eating, with a small table in front of each person, and one person's dish on the table.  The reason why the shared meal system changed to the later shared meal system was because the tables and chairs became taller.

    After Li Chengqian came to the Tang Dynasty, he was naturally not used to the shared meal system, so after getting high chairs and high tables, he never had a shared meal system in the East Palace.

    "Oh, Master, I don't know something.When the family gathers around the same table, eating together is lively and cordial!  "Li Chengqian waved to Su Mi and Xiao Chen who were about to go out. Why are they running away?

    Confucius asked again: "Then why does this person have two pairs of chopsticks? Two spoons?"

    Li Chengqian said: "These are the public chopsticks and the public spoon, which are used to pick up vegetables, and these chopsticks and spoons are for eating by yourself."

    Confucius nodded and said, "Oh, that's very good!"

    Su Mi and Xiao Chen reluctantly walked back to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian said: "Let's sit down and eat together. If you leave, Master will misunderstand that you are not welcome!"

    Confucius looked at Li Chengqian with some confusion, this man wouldn¡¯t even have a meal with women, so why didn¡¯t the prince follow these etiquettes?  But Li Chengqian had spoken upfront. If he left, he would not be welcome. Confucius did not dare to correct Li Chengqian!

    Su Mi and Xiao Chen wanted to explain, but Li Chengqian pulled them to sit on their side. Then they invited Confucius, and dinner began.

    Although Confucius was stunned by Sister Hippo¡¯s ferocious way of eating, the delicious dishes on the table made Confucius almost swallow his own tongue.

    Throughout the meal, Confucius kept asking what kind of dish this was and what kind of meat it was, which made people laugh.

    "What kind of dish is this?"

    "Beggars chicken."

    "What's the name of this dish?"

    "Roast Duck."

    "What kind of meat is this? Why is it so fragrant?"

    ¡°This is lamb roasted with cumin!¡±

    Sister Hippo raised her hand and waited for a long time, but did not speak.

    Li Chengqian and Kong Fuzi looked at her and saw that she was struggling to swallow the meat in her mouth. After a long time, she said: "Master, if you don't eat these things properly, how can you use your mouth to talk?"

    Li Chengqian and Su Mi almost burst into laughter. Confucius was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay, I'll eat it now!"

    After dinner, Confucius touched his round belly and said goodbye: "I am lucky enough to eat such delicious food. It is really a blessing accumulated in my life!"
