Self-cultivation of male support

Early in the morning of the second day, He Dashan and his wife cheered up and sold breakfast food. According to their current thinking: "Since the road for children to study is blocked, we are still young, so we can save some money for Ah Yan by working a few more years." In the future, the children will be able to live better, so they won’t have to worry about a few taels of silver.”

The two of them who thought this way worked harder when they started to do things.

Together, the two of them realized that the shop couldn't just sell breakfast food and waste the afternoon, so they tried to cook some of Yue Niang's special lunches.

It's cheap, and the quantity is large. In the afternoon, there is not much left.

As for Shi Yan, he is still a delicate and weak sick patient. This body is really fragile. It usually looks good. As long as the entry related to the stinky account is triggered, it will be finished in minutes, no matter what Shi Yan does. No amount of effort is useless, so I can only grit my teeth and carry it hard.

Shi Yan lay quietly on the bed with a calm expression, completely unable to tell that he was a man suffering from dizziness, nausea, fatigue and many other symptoms.

He Dashan and his wife in front were worried about leaving their sick son alone at home, so they had to go home from time to time to take a look.

Unfortunately, as soon as I left the shop this time, I saw my elder brother from a distance running like a wolf on the back of his buttocks, running so fast that his bun was scattered, and he rushed towards him with his arms outstretched.

He Dashan was taken aback, waited for someone to stand in front of him, and asked anxiously: "What happened?"

Yun Fengshou was still wearing a yamen arrest uniform, and he seemed to be patrolling the street, excitedly grabbed He Dashan's arm and shook it vigorously twice, without breathing well, he said to He Dashan: "Fu, come to Fucheng, Someone is here! Ah, Ah Yan has been selected as a scholar!"

When the familiar people heard this, they gathered around and asked what was going on.

Someone handed Yunfengshou a bowl of water, Yunfengshou drank it happily, and then explained the cause of the matter clearly: "A Yanyuan has entered the list, and the last one, the servant who announced the good news in the morning followed us to stay I went to the inn to announce the good news for my address, but it was all gone.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper of the inn knew about our family's movements. After informing the guards, the guards hurriedly set off from Fucheng early in the morning. They have already entered the gate of the city. I met them on the way of patrolling. A letter! "

He Dashan jumped on the spot excitedly, and then shouted towards the shop behind him: "Yue Niang, Yue Niang, come out quickly! Come out quickly! Don't be so busy, we have business to do!"

The crowd burst into laughter instantly.

He Dashan said: "Brother, wait first!"

Run back to the shop, dig out the money

I took a look at the box, and it was full of fine copper plates collected in the past two days, and hurried to the back kitchen, and quickly said to Yue Niang, who didn't know anything, and was still washing her hands: "Stop busy, hurry up, here I have some broken silver coins for others to use as rewards!"

Although Yue Niang was confused, but out of trust, she still took out a few dollars from the purse behind her and handed them to He Dashan. He Dashan didn't even look at it, and threw them directly into the money box.

Yue Niang was dragged out of the back kitchen by He Dashan, and she was startled when she saw the noisy crowd outside.

After finding out the reason of the matter, before he had time to be happy, Fucheng's annunciation guards had already knocked into the alley.

There was a lot of excitement ahead, and soon Yun Shiliang, who was practicing martial arts with his master in the martial arts gym, also heard about this time, so he sneaked out, bypassing the excitement in front, and went to Shi Yan's room to congratulate him.

In his hand, he still carried a bag of fried rice cakes from Grandma Wang's family.

Squatting on the head of Shi Yan's bed, he ate it all by himself.

With a look of pity on his face, he said: "Hey, my mother said, you are a patient now, you can't eat this kind of greasy food, I specially brought it here for you to smell and relieve your craving, brother, is that interesting?"

Shi Yan rolled his eyes directly: "I reasonably suspect that you did it on purpose!"

Yun Shiliang chuckled, wiped off the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, squatted on Shi Yan's bedside and took a closer look, and after making sure that Shi Yan was not angry, he smiled and told about the commotion ahead: "When I entered the alley, almost the whole street All the people in the alley are crowding towards the door of your shop, and the corners of the mouths of aunt and uncle are grinning from the corners of their ears when they are surrounded by people.

Wow, you didn't see it, the copper coins seemed to be picked up, and they were thrown out one by one. The children in the next alley heard the movement here, and they were all waiting there to pick up the money!Tsk tsk, what a sight! "

Yun Shiliang looked envious.

Shi Yan said calmly: "The last one is not a lin student, and he has no silver and lin mina, which means it's just nice to go out."

Yun Shiliang had an expression of "If you continue to pretend to be coercive, I will lose my face", and said to Shi Yan: "Don't talk about exempting from corvee, how beneficial it is to ordinary people.

Just look at Liu Xiucai, a bastard who has done so many disgusting things and has not been drowned by the people of Luo'an County with saliva, isn't it because he has a reputation as a scholar? "

Shi Yan reminded him lightly: "That's your grandfather, don't say such things outside."

Ever since Shi Yan became a scholar, Yue Niang and his wife have become more motivated. They are busy all day long without touching the ground. He Dashan has good physical strength.

Helping teach students, my body is very good, and I can still live on.

Yue Niang was dying, and within a few days, she was in high spirits, but her complexion was obviously not good.

So that evening, after the shop was closed, Shi Yan waited in the yard to discuss with the two of them: "Don't be so busy, you don't have to be exhausted, and the money you earn back is not enough to get sick and take medicine, mother, don't even think about it." To retort, you look in the mirror to see how ugly your face is."

Of course, the bronze mirror can't show it, but He Dashan's eyes can see it: "Yue Niang, what A Yan said is right, I never listen to you when I persuade you, but now what A Yan says, you should always listen to him Bar!"

Yue Niang looked suspicious and said: "I also want to pay off the debts of my eldest brother's family as soon as possible, and then save money for Ah Yan to marry a wife. Since our family Ah Yan was selected as a scholar, many wealthy households in the city have entrusted people to inquire about Ah Yan's marriage.

But I dare not answer.

For one thing, our family can't afford the dowry, and I, as a mother, don't want people to say that Ah Yan gets rich by marrying a daughter-in-law.

Secondly, I know what those people are thinking. Marrying their daughters now is because they fancy that Ah Yan has been selected as a scholar at a young age.

But our family members know our own affairs, Ah Yan must not continue to take the exam, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it. 4

There are a lot of people who come to the door to propose marriage. On the surface, it looks beautiful, but in fact, there are not many suitable ones.

I was worried in my heart, whoever has it is not as good as my own, as long as we have money that can't be spent, how can we be in such a dilemma? "

Shi Yan was very calm: "Mother, you are doing it to earn copper coins, not silver ingots. If you want to make a lot of money, you should come to the same place with me. You still have to listen to me in this regard."

The husband and wife had a kind of blind trust in their son. Hearing what Shi Yan said, they nodded in agreement without much hesitation.

Yue Niang pressed Shi Yan: "Then tell me, Ah Yan, how to make a lot of money?"

Shi Yan calmly took out a book from the desk, and told the two of them: "The secret is here."

The two didn't understand, and Shi Yan didn't explain too much, he just said: "After one month, there will be results, mother, you and father are resting at home these few days, if you can't take it easy, get up in the morning and get ready Lunch is fine, don't wear yourself out."

Shi Yan took two improved grain wine brewing recipes, two bottles of the finished product just out of the box, and a small clay pot that didn't know what was in it, and found the owner of the largest wine shop in the county.

The other party was amazed at the taste of the finished product from Shi Yan

, was very greedy for Shi Yan's Fang Zi, even though he tried his best to hide it, Shi Yan still spotted it at a glance.

After Shi Yan had whetted the other party's appetite, he sold the prescription to the other party for 300 taels of silver, and wrote a deed, and filed a record in the yamen, promising that Shi Yan would not sell the prescription to a second person in the future. Except for Shi Yan brewing and drinking at home, Shi Yan and his family can't use this recipe to make a profit.

When he left the yamen, he generously gave the remaining wine from the two bottles in his hand to the owner of the wine shop, leaving only a small clay pot in his hand.

With Shi Yan of 300 taels of silver, he turned his head and took advantage of the early sun to find a closed restaurant in Dongcheng on the street opposite the county school.

Because the owner of this restaurant is running well, he has accumulated a large family business. Last year, he moved the restaurant to Fucheng. , the boss intends to resell the restaurant.

With a good location and the good omen of the former boss, many people wanted to take over, but for some unknown reason, they never made a move.

Shi Yan walked around the two-story building, nodded in satisfaction, found the person in charge who the boss stayed here, and told him why he came here.

The other party asked for 600 taels of silver, Shi Yan raised his eyebrows, the price was obviously on the high side.

But seeing the blushing young man on the other side gritted his teeth and refused to let go, Shi Yan didn't continue to ask. Every family has hard-to-recite scriptures, so he was not interested in asking about their private affairs.

But when the young man saw Shi Yan's appearance, for some reason, he suddenly wanted to talk, and said to Shi Yan with a bitter face: "I know that the price is too high, but I can't help it. My mother died young, and my father loves you When the younger brother was born to the stepmother, when the family was separated, most of the family property was distributed to the younger brother.

Only give me this empty restaurant without a chef and recipes, my sister will be engaged next month, and I don't even have her dowry ready..."

The young man choked up as he spoke, Shi Yan took a closer look and confirmed that this was the collapse of an adult, which always happened inadvertently.

When the other party finished crying on the ground, Shi Yan suddenly asked with great interest: "Well, I have 200 taels of silver in my hand, but I can give you some ancestral recipes. You take the recipes and manage them well, and maybe you can make them yourself. A family business may end up doing nothing and getting nothing. This is the first choice.

Or you wait for me for two days, I'll collect 600 taels of silver for you, and you send your sister out first? "

The young people on the ground chose the first type easily, with magical eyes and said: "I want to

try dishes. "

Shi Yan nodded: "This is natural."

The young man immediately took Shi Yan to the back kitchen of his home. The kitchen was a bit messy, with piles of cut ingredients on the chopping board, and a few plates of steaming dishes on the stove.

Shi Yan knew in his heart that this was not admitting defeat, and he was practicing cooking to save himself. It seemed that he could choose the first proposal without hesitation, and it was not groundless.

Shi Yan drove people out, looked at the ingredients in the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and started cooking.Looking at the small pottery pot he brought with him when he went out, Shi Yan said calmly: "Fortunately, I brought you here when I went out!"

Shi Yan has studied the eight major cuisines of China and local snacks for a while, and now he is very familiar with making these. Looking at the time, he made a famous Northeast dish with potted meat, a Beijing dish with fried belly, a Shanghai dish with herring chin water, and a Zhejiang dish. Dried Dongpo preserved vegetable, steamed meat with Su vegetable and lotus leaf powder.

When the dishes were served, it happened to be an hour before the Yamen went down to the Yamen.

The young man burst into tears when he ate the dishes made by Shi Yan, and then he heard that the cuisines in Shi Yan’s hands were passed down from his ancestors, and each dish is based on different local customs. There is a whole series, and the whole person starts glowed.

He said that he didn't need money, as long as the recipes of these few dishes were fine, he wiped his mouth in a hurry for fear that Shi Yan would regret it, and took Shi Yan to the yamen to file for the record.

At this time, there was exactly half an hour before the Yamen went down to the Yamen.

Shi Yan was overjoyed when the filing document saw it, and joked: "Where did you get rich, little Xianggong! I actually saw you twice in one day!"

In the end, Shi Yan still gave the young man 200 taels of silver and a few recipes, stepped on the afterglow of the setting sun, walked slowly and kicked the land deed of the restaurant on the second floor and returned home.

Shi Yan lazily thought: I hope my parents won't be too surprised!
