Chapter 2822: Simple Ceremony and Food Sharing

Li Longji sat on the top, and the other ministers stood. The closest to Li Longji was Gao Lishi and Li Yi.

King Toliqi must remember Li Yi, because Li Yi had done a lot of things and had a prominent position.

Li Longji looked up and saw that he was a little tall. Li Yi stood under the steps of the dragon throne, and he was obvious.

Toliqi had a blank look in his eyes. In his impression, Li Yi was very powerful, handsome, did not accept bribes, and worked for the country and the people...

Li Yi told him when he was learning to skate, and Li Yi helped him find Changsun Xin, so he believed it more and more.

The result...

"Bow, talk." A little robot next to him came to him and whispered to remind him of etiquette.

"Toliqi, a minister of the lower country, Tomaridito City-state, pays homage to His Majesty the upper country."

Toliqi bowed as he learned in a daze, calling himself a minister of the lower country, and surrendered!

Behind him, those who were qualified to go to the palace together said: "Ministers of the lower country pay homage to His Majesty the upper country."

"No need to be polite, give me a seat." Li Longji sat on the top and ordered.

The maids and eunuchs brought small tables and chairs for everyone, including Li Yi, but he did not sit.

Next, King Toliqi presented a letter of surrender. There was no surrender in the content. He only said that he admired the Tang Dynasty and had a sign in his dream. He and his people were the ancient descendants of the Tang Dynasty and were willing to recognize their ancestors.

Originally, a grand ceremony should have been held, Li Longji worshipped his ancestors, and then went through this procedure. The location of the pyramid was not suitable, and the flat ground was too messy.

Just deal with it, and don't take the other party seriously.

Li Longji received the letter of surrender and said a lot in the local language. The locals didn't understand. They understood the words, but they couldn't put them together.

Then he was rewarded and King Toliqi was appointed as the governor of the Toma Ruidito Governor's Office of the Maya Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty.

His official position was lower than that of the second prince. The second prince was the deputy governor. The governor was led by the prince. Now it has not been found which king to be in charge. Princess Yongmu can also be used.

This administrative unit is different from the governor. It is equivalent to the production and construction corps during Li Yi's time. It overlaps with local administration, but it is slightly different.

After the official positions were granted, the nobility was granted, including other qualified people.

There were many rewards, such as cosmetics, silk, bicycles, thermos, kerosene lamps, small mirrors...

The Tang Dynasty had no shortage of paper money. King Toliqi received a full 100,000 strings of cash, which he could use to go shopping in the grocery store and Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion.

His women were also granted imperial decrees and would receive salaries in the future.

In fact, they were sidelined, but they were not killed, let alone their women.

They did not need to write: The rain outside the curtains is gurgling, and the spring is fading... It is easy to say goodbye, but it is hard to meet again...

As for whether they can feel the feeling of "asking you how much sorrow you can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward", God knows.

Anyway, the people will live a good life in the future, and they will live a leisurely life, or those who are capable will be arranged to have real power officials.

After a lot of operations until noon, a banquet was given.

The dishes were mainly seafood. The crab roe and yellow were done, so they could not be steamed, so they were simply fried. The others were okay, but it was a pity that it was not a cold water area.

The wine was yellow wine, and the one for Toliqi and the others was diluted with water, otherwise they would get drunk.

Li Longji sat down, with a rectangular table in front of him. Li Yi and Li Chengqi sat beside him, and there was no one else.

"Big brother, third brother, eat this flounder, steamed, with fermented black beans and sour beans, there is not much crab meat."

Li Yi helped Li Chengqi and Li Longji pick up the fish meat. Crabs cannot be steamed, so they steamed fish.

"This is sea grouper, which is good to steam, but with steamed flounder, it has to be braised." Li Yi continued to introduce.

Others also introduced, there was a big screen, which kept switching today's dishes and accompanied by explanations.

Li Yi's talk at this moment was not as good as the one on the screen, and Bi Gou and the others just wanted Xiao Yi to come over and talk.

Others all had one portion each, and the fish was served whole, so they couldn't finish it at all.

Li Yi had three people eating one portion here, and the female rolls were taken care of by others. Li Dan was with the children, and he didn't want to join in the fun.

King Toliqi figured it out at this moment. He was deceived by Li Yi. Li Yi took the initiative to ask for bribes. In fact, he could have arranged the time.

The two women who did not accept the gold beans were obviously Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan. They would not come to take them.

Then the Yulin Flying Cavalry was still the Yulin Flying Cavalry. Without Li Yi's permission, they would not accept anything.

"Let's sing and dance! Otherwise, whoever keeps looking at me, I just want him to ask for some gold nuggets of insufficient purity."

Li Yi found that someone looked at him from time to time. It was a meal. You are a big man, why are you looking at me?

The singing and dancing came, which was pleasing to the eyes. You can't lose face in front of foreigners. Let them know what is beautiful.

The words of the song sung by Xinyan and others were translated into the local language, the kind of poetry translated into poetry.

"Give the unfinished dishes to the people?" Li Longji wanted to drink, so he ate less dishes.

"Throw it into the free soup and cook it. Even if it is fried crabs, it can be boiled again. Whoever gets it will be happy."

Li Yi didn't expect that at the moment of happiness, his father-in-law was still thinking about the leftovers.

In the past, the leftovers were given to the palace maids and eunuchs, who would rush to eat them. Now they don’t eat them, and they go to the canteen themselves.

In Lijiazhuangzi, leftovers are given to others, and those that are not served on the plate will be eaten again.

Usually, they are only served at grand court meetings and banquets, and people usually take as much as they can eat, so as not to waste.

Therefore, on the first and fifteenth day of every month, in the afternoon, people rush to the gate of Lijiazhuangzi to line up.

Some leftovers are put into the free soup pot to cook, and some are mixed together and fried, making a hodgepodge.

People take them home to eat, and they don’t despise them.

If the people don't want it, send it to Beitianfang. Anyway, it can't be fed to pigs directly, so it's all good stuff.

"Yeah!" Li Longji was relieved.

"Shall I grill something to eat? We'll always eat the dishes later, which are not suitable for drinking."

Li Yi thought about it. The purpose was to drink, so many dishes were useless, and they were not eaten.

"Okay!" Li Chengqi and Li Longji nodded together.

So the grill was moved over, and Li Yi grilled things. Who would eat grilled skewers at a state banquet? He could do it.

"We have to do it again tomorrow, and we'll eat it together." Yao Chong watched Li Yi grilling things and was greedy.

"Yes!" Song Jing nodded at the table next to him, and suddenly found that the seafood banquet was not fragrant.

So the meal took five hours, and the dishes were removed, and dried fruits and preserved fruits were put on. In order to drink, we couldn't eat the dishes anymore, and we couldn't eat them.

Only Li Yi kept grilling here. It took half an hour for three people to eat half a grilled eggplant.

Roast a handful of bean curd, not dried bean curd, twelve skewers, eat forty minutes, usually, one person can finish it in a few bites.

The ones removed are immediately sent to the place where the soup is cooked, no matter if they have thorns or shells, just throw them in and cook.

The whole main street smells of seafood, braised ones can be cooked.

People who are going to work at night and people who are leaving work pick up the spoon, and the spoon sinks to the bottom when scooping.

No matter what is scooped up, remove the thorns and shells first, and then eat and drink it beautifully. To be continued
