Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 350 Goodbye Fu Xin
"Could this be, cousin's suitor?" Chen Nian guessed in his heart.

Although my cousin has been married once, something happened to her husband's family.

Now only my cousin is left to do business outside.

To put it bluntly, it is a widow.

But even so, I have a blood relationship with my cousin, so my cousin's appearance is still 10 points, and the genes will not change.

Even if she is a little older, she is much better than those Yingyingyanyans outside.

"This is my younger brother. He just came to the capital a few days ago."

"Brother?" After hearing that Chen Nian's identity was actually Lu Ke's younger brother, the man smiled again.

Taking a closer look, Chen Nian does have many similarities with Lu Ke's appearance.

"I didn't know shopkeeper Lu that you have a younger brother."

"It's a joke to return the salary table to the sea. Our family is poor and poor, so we only hope to have a few more children to strengthen the family."

"You can't say that. Shopkeeper Lu is so promising, and his younger brother is not bad at all. Why can't he grow stronger?"

Mr. Hai felt much more relaxed now.

He is indeed Lu Ke's suitor. Although Lu Ke's husband is gone, he likes this woman from the bottom of his heart.

Although there is some resistance in the family, he personally doesn't mind Lu Ke's status as a widow at all, not to mention that Lu Ke's husband's family is also scattered now.

Speaking of which, the atmosphere of Daxia is relatively open.

Previously, Lu Ke had the attitude of refraining from daily necessities, but now Lu Ke has another younger brother.

That means there is a breakthrough, everyone is a man, he has plenty of ways to get close to each other.

Just do what you like.

At that time, there will be another internal and external cooperation.

For example, now he came up with an idea on the spot: "Master Lu, I want to invite some friends over to recite poems tomorrow, so I want to order some dim sum. Can I prepare every dim sum here tomorrow afternoon?" Jin sent to my house?"

When Lu Ke heard that the other party wanted to buy some snacks, he had no choice but to say, "Okay, then I will ask my younger brother to deliver it to Mr. Hai tomorrow."

"Okay, then work hard..." He remembered that he still didn't know Chen Nian's name.

"Brother, my name is Hai Mingxian, I don't know you, brother..."

"My name is Chen Nian, Chen Nian of old vinegar." Chen Nian responded.

Now I can't figure out what this person is like, but if the other party wants to use himself as a breakthrough, then he is very wrong.

You must know that Chen Nian is a modern person, and what he pays attention to is the freedom of marriage and love.

Although my sister is a widow now, whether she is willing to remarry and whether she can like the person in front of her all depends on her nodding.

"Old year? Three drums in the ancient city of Chen, to feel the spirit of the age? Good name!"

A poem came out of nowhere, which made Chen Nian feel a little embarrassed. This kind of behavior seems to be no different from the behavior of singing and dancing when there is a disagreement in the third movie.

No, there is.

He is a national culture anyway, this guy is just showing off.

It's so obvious.

But after all, it was obvious that he had written a poem for himself, and Chen Nian could only look amazed, but he praised a good poem perfunctorily in his heart.

"Okay, then it's settled, but I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

"Master Hai, go slowly."

After that person left, Chen Nian looked at Lu Ke again: "Sister, is this person interested in you?"

Lu Ke showed a troubled look on his face: "Yes, this person is not bad, but he is still doing nothing at this age. I heard that he is going to take the exam this year, but I don't think he can pass the exam like this. How can I be in the mood to think about this now? As a widow, marrying into someone else's family is a big joke."

Chen Nian nodded. At this moment, he also understood Lu Ke's thoughts.

After making the cakes in the afternoon, Lu Ke packed up the snacks that the boy who came earlier asked for, and handed them to Chen Nian.

"You go to Chongdefang, that is our street, turn left when you go out, turn right when you reach a place selling mutton, and you can see a big house, just go up and knock on the door and say that you are here to deliver snacks , After finishing speaking, they will inform the servant girl in charge of this in the mansion to come out and take you in."

Chen Nian nodded and wrote it down.

Afterwards, Chen Nian carried the telecommunications and headed towards the customer's house, wondering if this is another kind of food delivery?
However, modern takeaways are basically affordable for everyone, but in ancient times, only rich people could have this honor.

All the way through the streets and alleys, Chen Nian was walking, and suddenly saw a shop with a sheep's head hanging on the door in front of him.

This is where you turn right.

Turning a corner, walking past is a high courtyard wall.

It must be this family, but this family still seems to have a lot of status.

But think about the current location, only three or four squares away from the root of the imperial city.

It is equivalent to the second and third ring roads of the imperial capital, how many poor people can live here?
In this way, he walked along the red wall and came to a gate. There are mighty stone lions standing on both sides of the gate, which looks extraordinarily magnificent.

The vermilion gate is brand new, and it looks like it is often cleaned.

This is a family that pays attention to people.

While Chen Nian was thinking to himself, he was about to go up and knock on the door, but just as he walked up a step, he suddenly saw the two big characters of flamboyant and phoenix dance written on the plaque directly above the gate!
"Fu Fu"

Fu?
Chen Nian couldn't help feeling suspicious.

But soon he was relieved, the entire capital is so big, that guy should not be the only one with the surname Fu.

Not long after, a servant opened the door: "Who are you looking for?"

"Hello, little brother, I'm here to deliver snacks, please go in and say something."

The boy nodded, then pointed to the side: "Okay, then you go to the side door and wait. I'll talk about it. Someone will come out to pick you up later."

Chen Nian turned his head and saw that there was a small door about [-] meters to the right. Obviously this kind of door was not for him to walk through, but it didn't matter, Chen Nian's task was to deliver the goods.

Going through the small door is not like going through a dog's hole, and thinking about it, it seems that this kind of food delivery usually enters through the small door.

After standing at the small door and waiting for a while, I soon heard slight footsteps coming from inside.

As the door creaked open, Chen Nian was stunned when he saw the person coming!

"Little Green?"

"Old age?"

Two voices sounded simultaneously.

Because after aging, the smart person is Xiaolu!
That is, the little girl who has been by Xiao Mudan's side all the time!

It really is that kid Fu Xin's house!
Chen Nian suddenly understood, no wonder his cousin looked at him like that before, it turned out that she knew about it a long time ago and didn't tell him.

"Why are you here?"

Xiaolu asked in surprise, she was a little interested in Chen Nian at the beginning.

After all, for the matter of Little Peony, Chen Nian ran back and forth, and even helped the lady deal with Yang Chiqing's side/
Moreover, in order not to embarrass his own lady, Chen Nian directly resigned from Ruyi Building, and directly lost a lot of money in a month.

That money makes old tofu sell tofu, even if it is sold for a year, there is not so much.

In addition, at that time, the young lady ran to the tofu shop every three days. At that time, the young lady fell in love with Fu Xin, who was a poor scholar. As time passed, Xiaolu also fell in love with the handsome and equally talented but willing to hide in the tofu shop. Old shop.

And there is still a word in her heart that she has never said, that is, she thinks that Chen Nian is better than Fu Xin.

"My cousin is here. She wrote me a letter a few months ago, asking me to come here to find him. Later, I sold the tofu shop and came to the capital. It's only been a few days now, but I didn't expect to deliver snacks to Zhuangyuanlang's house this afternoon." Chen Nian said with a smile, feeling a little relieved when he met an acquaintance.

"That's it." Xiaolu nodded thoughtfully, "Then come in quickly, and give me some snacks, and now I will take you to see our master, he happened to be resting at home today, so I thought about it." Buy some snacks and go back to eat with the lady in the afternoon."

Then Chen Nian followed Xiao Lv into this mansion.

Xiao Lv walked happily up and down in front, while Chen Nian looked at the place from behind.

Sure enough, studying is the only way out at this time. Looking at this big yard, I can't even think about it now. As a result, Fu Xin won the first prize in one fell swoop, flew up the branch and turned into a phoenix, such a big The courtyard was allocated directly by the imperial court.

Who would have imagined that Fu Xin was still a pervert who climbed the wall every day and went to the temple to secretly count marriages on the spot?

I'm afraid that if this story is told now, people will only say that Zhuangyuan Lang is deeply affectionate.

They didn't go to the kitchen, Xiaolu took Chen Nian directly to a courtyard full of flowers, and there was a small pavilion in the center of the courtyard.

Over there were two acquaintances sitting and chatting.

"Master and Madam, look who's here!" Xiaolu yelled out loudly as she spoke, still yelling like before.

The voice from Xiaolu's side fell, and the two people in the pavilion turned their heads to see Chen Nian Shi Shiran following Xiaolu.

"Brother Chen?"

When Fu Xin saw Chen Nian, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face!

"Brother Chen, why did you come to the capital? Why didn't you come to see me when you came to the capital? If it weren't for my busy business and the long journey, I must go back to Yangzhou to get together with you!"

As soon as Fu Xin saw that Chen Nian couldn't sit still, he got up and walked towards Chen Nian.

Suddenly, for a moment, Chen Nian felt that his identity was not worthy of this guy, just like what Lu Xun wrote in the book:

"There's a deplorably thick barrier between us."

But Fu Xin didn't feel anything at all. He came over with open arms and gave the young man a big swimming hug.

"Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a while, how are you doing recently?"

Only then did Chen Nian realize that Fu Xin was still the same Fu Xin.

The thick barrier also disappeared without a trace at the same time.

But since the other party is still the same Fu Xin from before, there is no need for Chen Nian to be tense. After they parted, he went up and punched Fu Xin in the chest.

"It's good, it's still as strong as before."

Fu Xin clutched his chest and pretended to be in pain: "You guys are still rude to me like before, I'm the number one scholar now!"

"Then why don't you arrest me and convict me for attacking court officials?"

"No no no, how dare I?" Fu Xin waved his hands quickly when he heard this, "My achievements today are all thanks to Brother Chen's teaching. If it comes to talking about it, it is no exaggeration to call Brother Chen a teacher. Brother just doesn’t want to take up an official career, otherwise how could it be my turn to be the number one scholar last year?”

When Chen Nian saw that Fu Xin respected him so much, he didn't feel a little moved. He said that poor scholars began to dislike the elders in the village when they became rich, but this was not practical for Fu Xin at all.

"It's your own ability that you can be the number one scholar. What does it have to do with me?"

"Brother Chen is joking. Compared with Brother Chen, my talent, Fu Xin, is just a drop in the bucket. If Brother Chen wants to take an official career one day, just let me know. Now I am a student of the current Prime Minister Xie Gong. I can also recommend it from time to time, the imperial examination is not the only way to become an official in the court, and the court is still very short of people, Brother Chen's talent will definitely shine."

"Hahaha, let's talk about it when the time comes." Chen Nian said with a haha, the imperial court recruited an official, and certainly cannot tolerate disappearing for a year or two after working for one or two years.

Besides, it's not certain whether I can come back to this world in the future.

Finally, they talked about where Chen Nian was now, and Fu Xin suddenly thought that someone who claimed to be Chen Nian's cousin had indeed come to ask, and even told about the bear mark on Chen Nian's waist.

And Fu Xin lived with Chen Nian every day during that time, so he naturally knew that Chen Nian had a birthmark on his waist.

If this kind of thing is not a very close person, it is impossible to know it in the capital.

After that, Fu Xin called Xiao Si on the spot and said that in the future, dim sum will only be sold at today's shop.

On the one hand, it is to repay Chen Nian's previous teaching, on the other hand, he also wants to take care of the business of Chen Nian and Lu Ke, the sister and brother here, and on the other hand, he knows Chen Nian's level, although he previously I have always been cooking, but even if I switch careers to make dim sum, it will never be bad.

And with an old temperament, new tricks will definitely emerge one after another.

As a result, the boy looked at Chen Nian in surprise.

I immediately told myself that when I go to buy in the future, my attitude must be respectful, and my attitude towards the other party must not be worse than that of the master.

Who can be called brothers and sisters with Zhuangyuan Lang, what kind of ordinary people can they be?
No matter how bad it is, he is still a folk expert.

Moreover, he had vaguely heard outside the courtyard before that the reason why his master was admitted to the number one scholar was all due to his teaching.

"In this way, there will be more favors from the number one scholar."

"Brother Chen, you are laughing at me again."

They chatted here for a while, and Fu Xin told Chen Nian that he could come here to find him if he needed anything or encountered anything.

Of course Chen Nian said no problem.

He is not a hypocritical person, if something happens to him, he will really come to ask for help.

And Xiao Mudan also said that she would now often meet with some other ladies and wives in the house, drinking tea and eating snacks.

If there is a suitable girl, she will introduce it to Chen Nian.

"It's right to avenge kindness and revenge." Chen Nian said on the spot that there was no need to do so.

After being rejected, Little Peony couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling.

But he still said that he would introduce their snacks to those ladies and ladies in the future.

Old age is very welcome.

It's just that when there are too many people, they may not be able to do it, and they may have to sell it in limited quantities.

After that, Chen Nian returned with a full load of gifts that Fu Xin forcibly stuffed into his arms.

When Chen Nian returned to the dim sum shop, Lu Ke was stunned.

"Your things..."

"Hey, it's all given to me by Fu Xin. I can't even push it away. If I insist on stuffing it in my arms, I won't be able to take it off if I can't take it off."

Previously, Lu Ke only knew that Zhuangyuanlang and Chen Nian had known each other before, and they should still be friends, but he didn't expect to be so strong!

As the champion of the dynasty, he has a bright future.

As long as I don't try to kill myself, it will be a certainty for the official to worship the prime minister in another ten years.

It's just such a person who treats Chen Nian so courteously!
