Chapter 222 Internal Official Supervision East Factory
On New Year's Eve, Yuelai Restaurant is closed. At 28 o'clock, the shopkeeper paid the salary of the kitchen and the client. Then everyone went home happily for the New Year, usually not opening until the fifth day of the New Year.
But this year is a bit different. It was the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. An Eunuch Chen came to the store, saying that he was from the Inner Official Supervision Officer. After looking up and downstairs, the Eunuch Chen threw down a deposit of 100 taels of silver, saying that it was the Inner Official Supervisor and the Dongchang Yamen to hold a friendship party here on the evening of New Year's Eve, so that the shopkeeper must do the matter well.
This made the shopkeeper stump. He told Eunuch Chen that the store was thirty years old and the guys were looking forward to going home for the New Year. If they took the order, wouldn’t the guys make a fuss with him?
Eunuch Chen doesn't like to hear the shopkeeper say this and that, so he asked someone to take out a dozen silver ingots and throw them on the table, and put them in the words. You have to do the business these thirty nights, and you have to do it even if you don't.
If you have done it, the banquet is fine. Both the guys and the busy people have rewards. If you can't do it well, you can't invite people from the East Factory to come and talk to you.
The shopkeeper was frightened and thought that he would not accept the business, but he would have to accept it. Otherwise, Eunuch Chen really made a bad name from Dongchang and came to the store for no reason, so how could the restaurant business continue?
Just like that, Yuelai Restaurant did not close on New Year's Eve this year. The guys in the building started to set up tables and clean up the hygiene.
The kitchen is also a large group of people working there, with a total of forty tables and eighteen dishes. It is the largest order that the restaurant has received since its opening, and it is very busy.
At noon, the Eunuch Chen, the Inner Supervision Officer, brought people here, and hung a long banner outside the window on the second floor, with the words "Welcome the New Year of the Wanli Period, Dongchang Friendship Party".
Dozens of sisters who were invited from somewhere to flock to the restaurant, occupying several private rooms on the second floor and chatting constantly, which made the guys always feel like they were always on the second floor. No matter whether they were in trouble or not, they always had to find an excuse to go to the second floor. The bold ones even carried teapots and brought water to the other sisters with desperate eyes.
The master who was scooping the spoon in the kitchen was also itchy and gathered to talk about some wonderful things that only men understood. Master Wu Er talked a lot, and asked his wife to hear it after he got too much. He was so angry that he started arguing with Wu Er. Fortunately, the shopkeeper appeared in time, otherwise Wu Er might have been able to rush upstairs to scold his sister.
In the afternoon, many people from the palace came to the restaurant, all of whom were from the internal officials. This was the first time these eunuchs attended a friendship party, so they were very curious. Seeing that the restaurant was very festive, they greeted the responsible Eunuch Chen, and then searched for a place to sit down in groups, eating melon seeds while chatting about the nothingness in the palace.
Benefiting from the fact that Eunuch Wei, the "top leader" of the unit, traveled on business trips all year round, the internal officials and supervisors were very leisurely. If they hadn't received a sudden notice to attend a friendship party, the internal officials and supervisors would have almost forgotten the top leader.
The East Factory came in a group, and the team led by the old man Li Yongzhen, one of the four major divisions of the East Factory, had more than 200 employees in the big and small business. As soon as these people entered the restaurant, they became extremely lively.
"Eunuch Jin and the others didn't come?"
After Chen Mo bowed to Li Yongzhen, he glanced at the crowd and found no other three big-name Jin Liangfu, Du Wenzhao and Zhang Jinzhong.
"Eunuch Jin is on duty in the study room tonight, and Eunuch Du has his own place to go. Eunuch Zhang is old and doesn't want to come out."
Li Yongzhen said lightly.
Chen Mo nodded slightly and asked him to send me one by one, but the three of them didn't come, which means they were not on the same mind as Eunuch Wei, so if you don't come, don't come.
"Where is Eunuch Wei?"
"I've gone to Nantang."
Li Yongzhen said "Oh" and asked Chen Mo to go and stay and wait.
After meeting a stick of incense, Tian Ergeng from Beizhen and more than a dozen subordinates also came to the restaurant, including Li Wei, a small flag who came out of seclusion with Eunuch Wei and Li Yongzhen. However, now Li Wei has been promoted to a hundred households.
Tian Ergeng sat down next to Li Yongzhen and said casually: "Commander Liu was afraid of asking people to speak."
"Liu Qiao is a man who is not responsible and does not do anything. If it weren't for the imperial prison, how could His Majesty allow him to take charge of Beizhen?" Li Yongzhen sneered in tea.
"The Governor values him."
Tian Ergeng grabbed a handful of melon seeds, heard the sound of a woman talking on the second floor, and looked up. He found that there were several gorgeous sisters on the second floor looking at him and laughing. He couldn't help but blush and said a little strangely: "Why are there any sisters?"
"Eunuch Wei is so good," Li Yongzhen smiled. "It was Eunuch Wei who specially invited him for a lot of money to make the brothers happy."
"Well?"
Tian Ergeng was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, "Our small-scale leader is really unique." After speaking, he squeezed at Li Yongzhen with a hint of slightness, "Eunuch Li is good at this?"
"Have fun together, enjoy together." Li Yongzhen yelled.
Tian Ergeng said "Oh" with a clear look on his face. He was about to tease Li Yongzhen, and several officials from the Inner Supervision Commission came over to say hello.
Although it is not a unit, since Cao Jukui's death, the person in charge of the seal was the highest position in the prison was the chief of the supervisor Wei. Therefore, the supervisor of the internal official was considered the direct descendant of the general. Therefore, whether it was Tian Ergeng or Li Yongzhen, he was very polite to these supervisors.
"Eunuch Wei is here!"
Everyone was chatting, and the shouts of a monk came from outside. Everyone in the building stood up and looked at the gate.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, it's ours!"
After Eunuch Wei, who was full of spring breeze, he kept clasping his fists after coming in. Whether he knew or didn't know him, he was just a little bit and had no airs at all.
"Sit, sit, why are you doing standing? Don't be polite. Our family is here to invite everyone here today. It's just a happy thing. If you don't follow the rules, just be happy!"
Eunuch Wei waved his hand with a smile to signal everyone to sit down, and from time to time he patted the actors beside him. A man named Eunuch Wei photographed him and said with a look of flattery: "My father-in-law, his subordinate is Ding Dagu!"
Eunuch Wei didn't know which Ding Dagu was, but he said, "Oh, Ding Dagu, okay, okay, we know you."
Oh, Eunuch Wei really knows me!
Ding Dagu was very excited and went to deliver food to his father-in-law and uncle last time.
Li Yongzhen and Tian Ergeng nodded to Eunuch Wei, and Eunuch Wei came over to say hello to them with a smile. Tian Ergeng turned around and waved to the person sitting on the table behind him: "Xu Xianchun, you have come here to meet Eunuch Wei."
"Ah? Brother Xu!"
