"Extraordinary," Shen Gui stood up and patted Shen Yu's shoulder, "The burden on your shoulders is heavier than you imagined. Don't let grandpa down."

Turning to look at the shoulder being patted, Shen Xi didn't say anything.He has his own plan in mind, and the ultimate goal will not change anyway.If there are many difficulties, find a way to overcome them; if there are countless obstacles, just cross or clear them.The goal is confirmed, and he has plenty of ways to achieve it.The Shen family can't get through, at worst, go to the emperor's side.If the emperor allows him to resign, will the Shen family stop him?

It won't be long before the Chinese New Year.Shen Xi smiled confidently, everyone had a good year, and he will do things again next year.Wait!

Shen Xi left the study room without saying a word, Shen Gui leaned on his crutches and his eyes were calm: "Xiong Cai, Bufan won't let it go."

"Son understands." Shen Xiong bowed, "Son will keep an eye on Bufan and not let him mess around."

"No." Shen Gui said thoughtfully, "There is nothing wrong with letting him mess around. You have lacked a fearless drive since you were a child. Today's Bufan is much better than you, maybe Bufan can make another breakthrough for the Shen family. One way. Let him go."

"Yes." Looking down, Shen Xiong had a bad premonition.Maybe the extraordinary nonsense is more shocking than they imagined.

The Shen family put everything on Shen Bufan, what consequences could the desperate courage and action bring?

If Shen Bufan is still the original Shen Bufan, probably everything will be done according to Shen Xiongcai and Shen Gui's ideas.However, Shen Bufan now lives in Shen Bufan's body, he doesn't care what happens to the court or what happens to the Shen family.He just wants to live a leisurely life, so he will use all means to disturb everyone's peace.If he is not allowed to live a comfortable life, how can he let others live a comfortable life.

The weather is getting colder, and the Qiao Brothers' hot pot restaurant has been open for a while.The recipe for hot pot was quickly bought by others, and now there are many hot pot restaurants in Beijing.Shen Xi took leave today and took Qiao Ke to try hot pot.The Qiao Brothers shop is not too big or small, clean and tidy, and the first impression is good.Shen Hao and Qiao Ke walked into the store and found that the business in the store was not bad, although it was not as good as the big restaurant.

Shen Xi casually found an empty table and sat down, looking at the menu made of wood chips hanging on the counter.Liu Feng wiped the table quickly and poured two cups of tea.Peng Liuer went to inform the Qiao brothers, the arrival of the young master and the young master.The Qiao family brothers are busy in the back kitchen, and the shop assistants are new recruits.Qiao Bin and Qiao Jin knew that Shen Hao and Qiao Ke had arrived, so they were naturally very happy.They put down their work and came out to say hello.

"You guys did a good job." Shen Yu said with a smile, "Give us a taste of the hot pot last time. Let's see if you are qualified."

Qiao Bin responded and hurriedly prepared the hot pot.Qiao Jin slipped a jug of wine from the counter and poured three glasses: "Good wine."

Raising the wine glass and taking a sip, Shen Yu nodded: "It's okay. By the way, who did you sell your prescription to?"

"The Bai family." Qiao Jin asked the waiter to serve some appetizers, "The Bai family is truly worthy of being an imperial merchant, and their eyesight is really good. Not long after our store opened, the Bai family came to buy prescriptions, and the price was higher than others. You Look, besides ours, all the hot pot shops in the capital are owned by the Bai family. This time, the Bai family has made a lot of money. It would be great if we could do such a big business."

The Bai family...the response is fast enough.After Shen Xi took a sip of wine, his mind became better and he could continue to cooperate.I don't know if the Wang family and the Bai family have connected online. After dinner, I went to the bookstore to have a look.Qiao Ke is not good at drinking, so he quit after drinking a glass: "Where is the second sister-in-law?"

"I'm busy in the back." Qiao Jin hurriedly got up, "I know you have something to talk about. I'll replace her."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Bin went into the back kitchen and called Lu Erniang.Qiao Ke smiled: "Husband, did you say that Xiao Yu and Xiao Feng have found a good school?"

Ah, Shen Hao realized: "Elder brother and second brother have been busy since they came to the capital, and they may not have found it yet. It's too late to go to school this year, and I guess they can only enroll next year. There are many aristocratic children in the schools in the capital. The wind is better."

"Yeah." Seeing Lu Erniang coming, Qiao Ke smiled and pulled the person to sit down, "Second sister-in-law, I have asked about some schools recently, and there is a house that is very suitable for Xiao Yu and Xiaofeng. If the second sister-in-law has already found a good school for them, I will No. If not, the second sister-in-law will consider it."

"This..." Lu Erniang said overjoyed, "I'm sorry to trouble you. I've been busy these days, and I haven't been able to attend to school matters. Thanks to the third brother's concern, it saves me from running around. I don't know which company the third brother is looking at. School? How about sir?"

Shen Hao didn't expect that Qiao Ke would remember to arrange the school. To be honest, he almost forgot to the horizon.

"It's not far from the city gate, and the surrounding is very quiet, suitable for reading." Qiao Ke smiled, "I went to see it, and the sir is not bad. The college is not famous, and most of the students there are ordinary people, so there are not so many disputes. Just now, my husband Having said that, most of the good schools in the capital are the children of nobles. If there are some stumbling blocks, it’s not good to make small troubles. Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu’s children’s temperament is not suitable for them.”

Lu Erniang naturally understands Qiao Ke's concerns. Although they are related to the general's mansion, it is really troublesome because the child is entangled with a wealthy family.Lu Erniang immediately made a decision: "I think this school is good. I will bring Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu to visit the master tomorrow."

Qiao Ke nodded: "I'll come to find you tomorrow, and we'll go together. I just happen to accompany my sister-in-law to visit the capital."

Shen Xi, who was left on the sidelines, opened his mouth to say something, but after thinking about it, let it go.I originally planned to ask for leave tomorrow, but since Qiao Ke has something to do, he will obediently go to work.It happened to let Qiao Ke and Lu Erniang talk about themselves, so he would be wise enough not to bother.

Qiao Bin brought the hot pot, side dishes, etc., and put them on the table one by one.Shen Xi twitched his index finger and couldn't wait to taste it.

The fire was blazing, and the soup in the hot pot gradually opened.Shen Xi put the sliced ​​meat in and cooked it: "This is the only bite I have in winter."

The smell of meat wafted away, and Qiao Ke put vegetables into the pot: "Don't just eat meat. Eat vegetables too, don't be picky eaters."

"I know." Shen Hao picked up the cooked slice of meat and chewed it in his mouth.Qiao Bin and the others looked forward to watching, wanting to be affirmed.

Shen Xi chewed the meat and swallowed it. Although the taste was not as good as modern ones, it was not bad.Seeing Shen Yu nodding in approval, everyone couldn't be more happy.Qiao Ke smiled and put the green vegetables into Shen Yu's bowl, and Shen Yu ate them all. He was not picky eaters.

Not picky eaters, but Shen Xi is still picky eaters.He couldn't get used to the sundries in the stomachs of domestic animals, such as hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, kidneys, and intestines.Except for pig lungs and pig blood, he doesn't eat the rest.But he eats the intestines as sausages, which can be said to be very picky.

The pork blood in the hot pot is tender and delicious.Shen Xi ate and wanted to eat barbecue, he looked at Qiao Bin with great interest.

Qiao Bin couldn't help shivering, feeling like he was being watched by something.After eating the steaming hot pot, Shen Hao went to the kitchen to talk to Qiao Bin about the barbecue method.They had to get him out anyway if he wanted to eat it.Lu Erniang was carefully remembering, her eyes sparkling.

"If the barbecue is successful, Fangzi will also be sold?" Qiao Jin asked with a frown, that Fangzi could make a lot of money.

"That's right." Shen Xi patted Qiao Jin's shoulder, "Don't be blinded by the benefits in front of you, you just can't afford such a big business. The tree attracts the wind, understand? People need to be content, the current business is enough for you Live in the capital."

"What about you?" Qiao Bin asked seriously, "Are you satisfied with your current life? Have you ever thought of another life?"

"Naturally I'm not satisfied." Shen Yan smiled and turned around, "This is far from my ideal life." So make trouble!

Qiao Jin and Qiao Bin looked at each other, thinking that Shen Xi had the desire to climb up.They are determined to help Shen Xi as much as they can.

After eating the hot pot, Shen Hao and Qiao Ke walked around.Walking to a bookstore, Shen Xi went in to look for a magazine, but unexpectedly found it as soon as he looked for it.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore came over with a smile and introduced that the magazine had been popular in the capital for more than half a month.It's also because Shen Xi didn't hear anything outside the window, and didn't hear any wind.Shen Xi opened the magazine and found that the progress of the magazine in Beijing was almost the same as that in Sihai County.

Recently, Tian Hongyan's articles are talking about a new thing - checkers.Many readers are curious and want to make checkers according to the book, but they always feel that there is a difference.The storyteller in the teahouse has been talking about checkers for several days in a row, and there are no empty seats every day.Listening to everyone's various imaginations about checkers, Shen Xi smiled.It's time for checkers to come out, but it will have to wait until after the Chinese New Year, and the hot pot restaurant will also be renovated.

After returning, Shen Hao told Qiao Ke his thoughts.He hoped that the Qiao Brothers' hotpot restaurant would double in size, where they could serve food and play checkers at the same time.Write the rules of checkers on the wall, and let customers spend a few copper coins to play checkers every day.Qiao Ke thinks it is feasible, but he does not know how many people are willing to go.Qiao Ke communicated with the Qiao family brothers and agreed to expand the store and complete the decoration after the new year.

Shen Xi asked the carpenter to make some checkers again, this time with the chess pieces.The round wooden chess pieces are painted and dried. Although they are not as bright as agate, they are passable.After Shen Xi brought back a few sets of checkers, Qiao Ke played them curiously, and felt that round and translucent agates were better as chess pieces.Shen Xi smiled: "Ordinary people don't have agate, but wood can be seen everywhere."

From the beginning to the end, any modern thing that Shen Xi created is not for monopoly, what he wants is universality.He hopes that whether it is magazines, bean sprouts, cakes, hot pot, checkers, etc., can become a part of the life of ancient people.He can see it when he goes out, instead of having to work hard to get it.To put it simply, Shen Hao just hopes that he can eat when he wants to eat and play when he wants to play.

Qiao Bin took out a lot of money to sell two shops near the hot pot restaurant, planning to sell hot pot in one, barbecue in the other, and checkers in the other.The halls of the three shops are connected, separated by screens, and furnished with tables and chairs of different styles.So much money was spent.

Shen Xi unceremoniously took out 1000 taels, which was rewarded by the emperor, so it was not for nothing.With these 1000 taels, things are much easier to handle.

Saving money on shop decoration is not enough, so Shen Xi asked for leave every three days to go to the hot pot restaurant to see the progress of the decoration.Seeing the shop getting better and better, he looks forward to next year very much.When the weather gets hotter next year, hot pot sales will drop, so he has to find another way.

It is natural to eat ice in summer, but it cannot be preserved without a refrigerator.In ancient times, eating ice in summer was a luxury, but Shen Xi just wanted to eat it.With winter coming, he can find a way to store more ice and make smoothies.Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

Human wisdom is limitless, in order to eat, any difficulty can be overcome.Shen Xi took a lot of money from the general's treasury and bought several large places to dig ice cellars.In order to eat, it’s nothing to be tired and hard. Thinking about the coldness of summer, everything is worth it.

In this way, Shen Xi has been busy running around for food, taking vacations until the Chinese New Year.Then go on vacation directly and go back to work next year.
