After waking up, Xuan Muzhi first went to see Bean Sprouts.Just as he thought, the bean sprouts are growing well, white and tender, making people like it just by looking at them.

Yesterday, the two brothers didn't eat bean sprouts themselves, so the last one was given to the neighbor craftsman.Woke up early this morning, Xuan Muzhi followed yesterday's arrangement and asked Xuanxuan to stay at home to clean up the bean sprouts.

Although this work needs to be meticulous, Xuanxuan is young, his hands are small, and he is not in a hurry. It is much easier to pick bean skins at home than to do farm work in the fields.

Xuan Muzhi worked faster today than yesterday, mainly because the barley rice was about to be harvested and there was not much work to do, and because he had something on his mind and was in a hurry to come back.

He planned to go to the West District today, but he couldn't find the big housekeeper yesterday, so he inquired about the location of Xi's family.

It's not too close from the North District to the West District. If you want to walk, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk until noon.Fortunately, near the market in the North District, there are wildebeest carriages leading to the South District and West District.This is for the convenience of those servants and girls from rich families who come to the North District to buy vegetables.

Xuan Muzhi paid two copper coins in pain and got on the car. Fortunately, the people sitting in the car were not much better than him. People with good conditions have their own wildebeest carriages or even better dragon carriages. Those who can't afford wildebeest carts will take this kind of ride.

A wildebeest carriage can hold ten people, and it is quite spacious inside, and everyone has a seat.

This is probably the bus on Berman Island, right?Xuan Muzhi thought wildly.The acquaintances in the car were talking, while Xuan Muzhi watched the scenery outside through the car window.

The Xi family is an aristocrat from Berman Island. Many people know that they live in the West District.However, since the West District is a gathering place for nobles and wealthy people, people from the North District and the South District cannot come in and out at will.To enter and leave the West District, except for residents who live in the West District themselves, other people need to have a legitimate excuse or a specially issued pass.

No one stopped from the North District to the South District. Although the people in the South District had a better life than the people in the North District, the South District and the North District were considered outer cities.

Nancheng is mostly craftsmen and other people who have a little money and can buy a property.But generally speaking, there is not much difference in identity from the people in the North District, it is nothing more than the difference in having more money in their hands, not to mention that many people in the South District came from the North District.

But it is more difficult to go from the South District to the West District.

The area of ​​the East District and the West District is much smaller than that of the South District and the North District, but there are city walls all around, which can be regarded as the real inner city. If you want to enter, you have to go through the guards of the city gate.

The wildebeest carriage stopped in front of the city gate of the west district, everyone got out of the carriage and walked towards the city, only Xuanmu was left standing there.

Xuan Muzhi's clothes don't look like someone who lives in the West District, and he has nowhere to get a pass, so now he can only force his way.

Xuan Muzhi was fully dressed, although the clothes were worn out, they were still very clean, and with the basket of bean sprouts in his hand, they still looked good.

"Pass." The two soldiers guarding the city gate took a look at Xuan Muzhi and knew that he was definitely not a resident of Xicheng, or even a servant of a wealthy family in Xicheng.

"Brothers, I'm delivering food to Xi's family." Xuan Muzhi raised the basket in his hand, "Look, it's a new ingredient, the butler ordered it from me yesterday, please let me go. If I get the bounty, I will definitely not forget the two big brothers."

"This..." The two soldiers looked at each other.

It is well known that the young master of the Xi family is snarky, and they have also heard about the riots in the past two days.Furthermore, looking at the vegetables in Xuan Muzhi's basket, he had never seen them before.They are guarding the gate of the west city, and they are well-informed. They have never seen it before, so maybe it is some fresh food?

"Brothers, I will bring you some Ruyi dishes next time. This dish is not something ordinary people can eat."

"What? Ruyi dish?" One of the soldiers subconsciously repeated, and the other's face also showed emotion.

"Yes, Ruyi Cai." Xuan Muzhi looked at the two with a smile.

The two exchanged a few words in a low voice, then looked at Xuan Muzhi again, "Okay, you can go there, but don't forget that you promised us to send us some."

"Thank you two big brothers!"

Although Xuan Muzhi guessed that it might be successful, he was very happy that things still went smoothly.

Along the way, I searched according to the description of the old man who bought vegetables, and finally found a very grand house.Building gates and tall courtyard walls, it looks really good.There are even a few doors at the gate, all dressed neatly, looking more formal than the soldiers at the gate of the city.

"Stop, what are you doing!"

"Brother, I heard that the young master of your mansion wants to taste fresh ingredients, and I happen to have a wishful dish here..."

"Ruyi dish?" Menzi had never heard of the name before, so he looked down and didn't think there was anything new about it.

"Yes, take a look. Maybe the young master will like it."

"Go, go, everyone wants to deliver food here, so queue over there." The other party waved his hand impatiently, "This is the main entrance."

Xuan Muzhi glanced in the direction the door was pointing at. The small street by the side door of Xi's house was full of people, and they couldn't even get in. It looked like there were at least a hundred people.

Xuan Muzhi hurried over to line up, and after a while, there were several people lined up behind him, and these people all came to Xi's house to try their luck.

The line got longer and longer, but the front didn't move very fast.The person in charge of receiving the goods in front picks and chooses, and one of the ten people may not be able to stay, and those who stay will not be paid.

Xuan Muzhi saw that it was getting late, and his heart began to get impatient.If I don't go back to the market, I won't have time to sell vegetables today, not to mention I didn't make any money, and I even lost the car money, let alone the wildebeest carriage for the return journey.Thinking of this, Xuan Muzhi sighed and left the team.

At the same time, a group of people came back from the gate, headed by the butler of the Xi family who Xuan Muzhi couldn't find yesterday.But at this moment, the face of the big housekeeper is really not good-looking.

"You're back, Chief Steward!" The two disciples hurriedly greeted each other, seeing that the Chief Steward looked uneasy, and cautiously asked the familiar servant behind him, "Hey, what's the matter?"

"You don't know, the young master made a fuss yesterday and refused to eat. The butler really bought a novel vegetable in the market, and it tastes very good. The young master said he wanted to eat it today." The servant spread his hands , "Who knew that we went early, it's almost noon now, and we still don't see the stall from yesterday. I don't know how to explain to the young master in a while."

"It's really so delicious?" Menzi asked in surprise.The young master of their family has the most tricky mouth, and he rarely eats the same dish twice in a row.

"Yeah, I heard it's called Ruyi dish." The boy sighed, "I guess this dish must be very valuable, otherwise it wouldn't be so rare."

"Ruyi dish?" Menzi yelled strangely.

"What are you doing?" The boy was startled.

"No, no, today there was a person who offered to deliver food to the door. He said that his food is called Ruyi food."

The boy was also shocked, "Where is the person?"

"It seems to be queuing up there!"

"Hurry up, go and stop him, I'll go find the butler!" The door was in chaos.

As soon as Xuan Muzhi squeezed out of the long line, he was surrounded by people from Xi's family, and the surrounding people scattered like birds and beasts, Xuan Muzhi turned pale with fright.

As a newcomer, did he break any rules in the noble area?

"Little brother!" An elderly man came over, "I heard that you have wishful dishes in your hand?"

Xuan Muzhi suddenly realized, "You are the butler of the Xi family? That's right, I have wishful dishes in my hand, and I just want to send them to the young master to taste today."

"I'm the butler. My young master ate this ruyi dish yesterday, and I went to the market today to buy some more, but I didn't expect you to come here." The butler said with a smile.

After returning from the West District, the smile on Xuan Muzhi's face never stopped.

Today, not only did he negotiate a deal with the butler, he came to deliver Ruyi dishes every day, and he also got a reward, a silver coin.

Xuan Muzhi never expected anything like gold coins.After all, they are sprouts from ordinary mung beans, which are not rare or expensive, and are everywhere, but no one thinks about it.It was a complete surprise to get a silver coin.What's more, with the big tree of Xi's family, any good things he can tinker with in the future can be sent to Xi's family.

One silver coin is one hundred copper plates, Xuan Muzhi ran straight to the market with an empty basket.

It was late now, and most people had already bought the ingredients. It was also good to come to the market at this time, as they could buy some cheaper ingredients.

Fresh big fish cost [-] copper coins a catty, but small fish and shrimps are much cheaper, especially for the remaining dead fish and shrimp, which only cost five copper coins, and Xuan Muzhi spent more than two catties I bought all the small fish and shrimp.

In addition, I also bought some fresh shallots, which are not cheap compared to his fish and shrimps, which made Xuanmu's body ache.

In the end, I went to buy two catties of white rice, a small bottle of oil, and a small can of wine.One silver coin earned today has already lost more than half in the blink of an eye.

But money is earned for spending, if you can spend it or not, you are a bastard, if you can earn it or not, you are a bastard.I have never had enough to eat here, but now that I have money, I always want to eat meat.

When I went back at noon that day, Xuanxuan had already cooked porridge, and the two brothers had a makeshift meal.

Today, I spent most of the day worrying and rushing on the road. I was really tired.After lying down and covering his body with the torn quilt, Xuan Muzhi fell into a deep sleep.

In the afternoon, Xuan Muzhi went to the field again. He worked too fast in the morning, and he was afraid that there might be some mistakes. He also looked for any salt workshops nearby so that he could find some brine.

This busy work was so busy that the sun was westward, Xuan Muzhi came back, and Xuanxuan ran over when he heard the movement at the door.

"Brother, are you back? Just now the uncle next door sent some vegetables he grew himself, as well as some green onions and ginger."

"Great."

Although he said that he bought some shallots today, he didn't buy ginger. I didn't expect this neighbor to grow them at home.

"Go, invite the uncle next door to have dinner together."
