Grandpa is not vegetarian

After hearing Jiang Yu's words, Mu Yunyi said: "This is not good. If you want to do everything well, you must be familiar with it. Only with enthusiasm can you focus, and familiarity can make perfect. In February next year, the few of us will do the same." I'm going to take the final exam, and I don't know if I can pass it. I'm working hard these days. When you come home today, you can stay here for one night and write an article or two. I'll see how your level is. If it's good When I go to Fan Juren tomorrow, I will also bring your article and ask him to correct it."

Jiang Yu was overjoyed when he heard that, for primary school students like them who are not even children, it is not easy to find a scholar who knows their composition. To recite is to read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will come out by itself. Even if it is to explain the meaning, it is still according to the book, and there is a rule that if you ask a question, you have to be beaten five times. He was beaten nearly a hundred times, and his left hand was red and swollen for many years.

Now that he has reached the sky in one step and can get advice from Juren, it is like a primary school student in the future who will be taught by a doctorate. How could he be unhappy, stood up hurriedly, and bowed deeply to Mu Yunyi: "Then thank you, Mr. Xiao."

Everyone had a reunion dinner at noon, Gao Yichun went to work in the store in the afternoon, Mu Yunyi went to the teahouse to tell a book, Jiang Yu and his wife stayed on Songlin Street, Gao Yitian was dragged by Gao Xuehong while talking while doing needlework, Jiang Yu and the merchant Yi and Ma Le are studying at home together.

Before leaving, Mu Yunyi left two questions, which were the examination questions of the previous year's government examination. From the first day of October, Mu Yunyi relied on the relationship between Fan Juren and Zhao Yuanwai to get all the imperial examination questions from Wangcheng County over the years. Sometimes there are four county exams, sometimes five exams, three government exams, and two college exams. Mu Yunyi asked for the top ten papers separately, and combined them into two books. Take out the topic, take Shang Yi and Gao Yichun to do it repeatedly, compare it with others, and then revise and redo it. On the third day of every month, I go to Fan Juren, and take the three well-made ones to Fan Juren for advice.

Fan Juren was only selected as a scholar at the age of 54, and his career in the imperial examination was extremely bumpy. He originally came from a poor family, but he only prospered after he won the Juren, so he had no foundation. No, it’s not like people who can listen to operas and drink wine when they are free, and they can’t make further progress in their studies. They go to the teahouse to listen to books every day, but they mainly make a living. Yun Yi is also very smart, especially in the exams, he is often easy to understand, and he can draw inferences from one point to another. He only gave pointers a few times, and the stereotyped essays became more and more successful.

Mu Yunyi was born under the exam-oriented education of later generations. From kindergarten to university, he has been learning how to deal with exams for nearly 20 years. The only thing to worry about is the stereotyped essay. Whether you can pass it or not depends on the examiner's personal preference in addition to your own level. If others like to write in a flashy way, but you write in a smooth and unpretentious manner, then you will not be able to pass it. Yes, if people like plain ones, it’s the same if you write gorgeous ones instead.

Mu Yunyi has experience in handling the comprehensive nine-subject joint examination of the University of Arts and Sciences in the past, but now he only has one piece of composition, which is not difficult. The prefect of the county examination is the County Magistrate Lou, who is supervised by the instructor of the Confucianism Department. I have already grasped it. The county examination is pretty sure. Regarding Zhang Zhifu’s deeds in the mansion, he has also passed Fan Juren and others, and he has roughly grasped the examination questions and grading style of previous years. He is also somewhat sure of passing the government examination. It is done by the Hanlin sent by the emperor to be the chairperson of the academic administration. It changes every year. Although I have a certain degree of confidence in Mu Yunyi, who is a scholar, I still can't be sure. I am a little worried. I have time every day. Then do the eight-legged essay.

In the evening, when Mu Yunyi came back after finishing the accounts, he took the papers of the three of them and read them again. It was still Shang Yi who did the best job. This Shang Yi had more disciples than others, and he had a "famous teacher" Mu Yunyi to guide him. , when starting an article, the first thing to do is to be stable, and then embellish the text and embellishments, just like completing a work of art, you can't be top-heavy, and you can't slump in the middle. , levels, conditioning, the most clear, can not be too gorgeous, nothing to say, can not be too simple, earthy, the degree of which, Shang Yi mastered the best, most in line with the golden mean.

Mu Yunyi is a person who seeks perfection the most. He writes an article like a painting. He has to highlight the beauty. He even splits the article in two, folds the article in half, and the number of lines in each paragraph is symmetrical. I have experienced many things, all kinds of historical allusions, articles and poems, I am very pretending, the amount of literacy and reading is far from that of people who have studied hard for ten or twenty years in the cold window!The writing mostly uses four or six parallel styles, like writing cross talk Guankou, which makes people look very comfortable, and it is also hearty to read. Even Fan Juren is full of praise. Shang Yi can't do this, but he has begun to have some shortcomings in this aspect. style.

Ma Le learned calligraphy later than Gao Yiqing, but he is older, has more experience in the world, and understands things faster than children. The articles he writes are still quite immature, and his handwriting is not as good as Shang Yiqing. The possibility of passing the county examination smaller.

After all, Jiang Yu spent more time studying than them, her handwriting is not bad, and her sentences are more mature, but she can't grasp the key points, and she can't solve the problem at the beginning, and she is a little bit off topic when she starts to change, Mu Yunyi Pick up the pen, swipe, and write down twelve questions: "You don't need to write articles in the future, just practice solving the questions. When you get home tomorrow, you will do them one by one, and then show them to me."

Jiang Yu nodded in embarrassment, he just felt that Mu Yunyi's aura was getting stronger and stronger. He used to feel that he was only a generation shorter in front of him, but now he was almost two generations shorter, and he was a little awkward to speak.

Busy and busy, it's already winter in the blink of an eye, Mu Yunyi and Gao Yichun finally finished decorating the store here!

There was a freezing rain the day before, then it froze, and then the north wind blew overnight, and snowflakes began to gradually fall today.

The hotpot restaurant of the two officially opened. The name given by Mu Yunyi was not Gaoji or Muji, but Tongfu Xiangguo. They used canvas as a cover and hung it in front of the store. Gao Yichun personally He took firecrackers and set them off in front of the door, crackling and crackling, attracting people from the surrounding streets. Qingming and Guyu, the four guys, were all wearing newly-made clothes——Mu Yunyi made two for each of them. A pair of work clothes, mainly in bright red color, with a white bottoming gown inside and a red outside, with half-arms embroidered with a double blessing pattern on the upper body, and a palm-sized Chinese knot tied around the waist. It looks very festive. The most handsome Han Lu stood at the door, cupping her fists to welcome the customers. Everyone looked on in amazement. Standing in the scattered snowflakes, they gathered around the door of the store to watch.

Mu Yunyi and Gao Yichun also wore festive new clothes, standing at the door of the store to announce the auspicious opening: "Today's guests who come to eat in the store, whether it is incense pot or wine, all will be half price!" He took a picture of his own drawing. "For example, this kind of tea eggs costs five yuan each on weekdays, and you can buy one for two and a half yuan today. Such a spicy hot pot costs fifty yuan on weekdays, but only 25 yuan today. This kind of big pot for the whole family On weekdays, it costs one hundred yuan, but today it only costs fifty yuan. In addition, the hot pot we learned from the capital, brass hot pot, uses charcoal inside, and it is eaten and baked right away." He took another poster, "This is it. This kind, the princes and ministers in the capital like to eat it in winter, cut the mutton and beef into thin slices, soak it in it when eating, and then dip it in our special sauce..."

What he said made people drool, and soon a few customers who used to love spicy soup came to eat, and Gu Yu led them in, and walked around the screen. It was burning hot, and the whole hall was full of hot air. They each found a table to cook. Gu Yu showed them the recipe with illustrations, ordered the soup and skewers, and passed it to the bar, because there is no literate account here. , Mu Yunyi transferred Quchi over to keep accounts at the bar, opened the order, and passed it to the back kitchen. Because the snack bar that was rented before was still open, Ji Baogen and his wife couldn't leave for the time being, so Gao Xuehong came to help. This meeting took the order, started to take the casserole to fill the soup, and then added it according to the skewers prepared by the customer, boiled it on the stove, sprinkled sesame seeds, and asked Qingming to take it away with iron tongs.

Not long after, Mu Yunyi sent a post in advance to invite all the guests to arrive, Fan Juren, Wei Juren, Zhao Yuanwai, and Zhao Yuanwai's two talented sons. The six of them sat at a table. I took the charcoal that had been burned and brought it in, stuffed it into the hot pot, and added hot water.They chose a group of fish and sheep Erxian pot, mainly fish and mutton, with vermicelli, bean curd, mushrooms, fish balls, dried snails, etc., large and small, filled twenty plates, and put them on the table. A table is full.

Then shopkeeper Qiu, shopkeeper Weng and other merchants who have a good relationship with Mu Yunyi shared a private room, among them Jiang Changyou, Mu Yunyi and Gao Yichun decided that he would send all the oil used by Tongfu Xiangguo Restaurant in the future. And being able to eat at the same table with so many shopkeepers here, if we can get closer and make a decision, we will be able to sell a lot of oil in the future. After getting the news, I was excited for a few days. Looking at Gao Yitian was a little pleasing to the eye.They ordered a set of dog meat and cabbage pots, mainly dog ​​meat and dried cabbage, with [-] dishes of various side dishes.

In the third room are Yue Butou and Luo Butou with six policemen. They ordered a sauerkraut and white meat pot, mainly made of sauerkraut and thinly sliced ​​white pork. Pork is more expensive than beef and mutton these days. They eat Things don't pay attention to style and taste, as long as they are fresh, Mu Yunyi specially instructed them to add an extra spoonful of meat oil to their pot, which is greasy, just in line with their taste.

Speaking of which, yamen servants are also of low status, cannot participate in the imperial examination, and cannot be treated as a regular household. Moreover, this thing is passed on from generation to generation. Fathers are yamen servants, sons are also yamen servants, and grandsons are also yamen servants. There are enough grandchildren and grandchildren.Naturally, the treatment is also not good. The average catch is only two renminbi a month, which is less than An Xiaobei and the others. The head catch is four renminbi. Fortunately, we usually have a good relationship with the merchants and get some extra money for nothing. It's pretty easy to live, but if they want to be better, they can't do it. They can't eat fatty meat and oil soup like today, even during the holidays.

Mu Yunyi and Gao Yichun had made publicity in advance. The teahouse and the guests from Mu's Malatang all came here. At the beginning, they just watched something new. After hesitating again, he walked inside in a hurry, and soon all the 24 tables were filled, and six of the eight private rooms on the upper floor were also filled. There was not enough manpower. Fortunately, Shang Yi and Ma Le were here to help. Someone called Gao Chunhua over to help Gao Xuehong cook soup and vegetables in the back kitchen.
