"Fu Wenjin! Wei Ruolan! What are you two doing?!"
A group of children in the study turned their heads when they heard the sound, and all the books in their hands and arms fell to the ground with a crackling sound.Facing Fu Li's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, their legs went limp for an instant, and they were almost scared to death.
After the study room was completely quiet, Brother Jin and Wei Ruolan looked at each other, raised his hand to stop him from going forward, and walked up to Fu Li awkwardly: "Mother, why are you here? The new store opened today , shouldn’t you sit in the store?”
Fu Li smiled: "Thanks to your father, who invited my colleagues to the hot pot restaurant for dinner today, I was able to leave the restaurant, otherwise..." She lowered her head and looked directly into Brother Jin's eyes, "How could I find out? , did a group of little mice enter the house?"
After speaking, his eyes fell on the others.
It was the first time for the other children to see Fu Li. Although they were a little amazed by Fu Li's beauty, this feeling only lingered in the hearts of a few of them for a while and then dissipated. Instead, they were overwhelmed by a huge sense of shame. head, not daring to look at Fu Li.
When we met for the first time, we were caught for stealing things, no matter how thick-skinned we were, it was impossible for us to feel indifferent, right?
Wei Ruolan, as the person who came up with the idea, glanced at her brother, then at Brother Jin with a dejected face, hurriedly walked up to Fu Li and confessed to her: "Mother, don't blame them, they will go to the study room today. Come, it was my son's idea."
Brother Jin was in a hurry, and looked at Fu Li and shook his head: "Mother, don't listen to Brother Lan, although he made the idea, but he is for his son, and if the son refuses to agree, Brother Lan will not bring his son here When Daddy's study comes, the other brothers will not come to help."
Brother Jin explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly in a few words, and Fu Li understood it, but he couldn't figure it out.
She blinked, and looked at Brother Jin suspiciously: "It sounds like the cause of the incident seems to be on Brother Jin, and the others are just helping him. But, you stay in ethnology classes all day long, this paragraph Master Shi put most of his energy on those students who will take the imperial examination next year, you, a kid who just entered ethnology, what kind of trouble can you encounter?"
Brother Jin pursed his lips, not knowing how to speak.
Fu Li became more and more surprised: "With your knowledge, unless the master of ethnology deliberately makes it difficult, it is impossible for you to encounter the problem of having to come to your father's study to steal books", right?If you have any questions in school, just ask your wife, if you have any questions in life, just ask me... I remember I told you this when you were very young? "
Whether Fu Li was with Brother Jin or when Wei Ruolan was still living with her, she had always been very lenient in educating the two children. Although she did not hide the child's secret, if the child really had a child, she would not tell it. She would not force the two children to tell her secret to herself.
But this time things are different, it involves the conduct of the two children
If there is no reason for her to be forgiven, Fu Li will inevitably punish the two children a little.
No, even if there is a reason for forgiveness, she must give the two children a punishment: no matter what, stealing is a moral bottom line that must never be touched. If it is not corrected this time, the two children will not be aware of it. Who knows that these two children will not stop thinking about things that can be solved by "stealing" in the future?
Seeing that Fu Li would not give up unless he asked clearly, Brother Jin hesitated to ask Fu Li for a guarantee: "Mother, this matter really has nothing to do with other brothers, they really just help It's just me."
Fu Li nodded: "You first tell what is going on, and then I will make sure whether it really has nothing to do with other people."
After finishing speaking, her eyes fell on the others, her expression was serious, making people feel scared when they saw it.
The students who had never been in contact with Fu Li before inevitably had the impression that she was "too serious" and "not to be provoked", and they all stood behind obediently, not daring to say a word.
Wei Ruolan was also a little scared. After all, Fu Li used to smile almost every day, and his expression was very gentle and friendly when facing him and brother Jin. He had never shown such a serious expression to them.
He opened his mouth, wanting to explain to Brother Jin, but was blocked by Fu Li's fluttering eyes.
Brother Jin took a deep breath, and hesitantly explained the whole thing according to the cause: "Didn't the son tell his mother before that he wanted to collect some information about the exam for Mr. Sun, which is regarded as repaying Mr. Taking care of my son? The son invited Grandma Tian, Brother Cai and others to the hall of the capital, and finally bought a lot of books, and asked someone to inquire about Sun Fuzi’s residence, and then brought the books to the door, intending to give them to Sun Fuzi.”
Fu Li nodded. Brother Jin did say many times that he wanted to find books and exam materials for Mrs. Sun. Even on the eve of her wedding, what he was thinking about besides not being willing to share himself with Brother Lang was to want to Repay Mrs. Sun.
She always kept it in mind.
Brother Jin rubbed his fingers nervously, and continued: "Unexpectedly, Master Sun has a classmate who has already been admitted to Jinshi, and this year he was also admitted to the Hanlin Academy as a Shujishi, and now he is an official in the capital. The books my son bought Master Sun already has a copy of the materials and materials. Even, the materials in Master’s hands are more complete than those bought by his son.”
"Although Mrs. Sun still expressed his gratitude to his son, the son felt a little frustrated that he had done nothing for his master."
Fu Li was stunned for a moment, and frowned: "Actually, you can tell your mother about this, or simply tell your father. With Ming Jing's current ability, wouldn't it be easy for him to collect information about scientific research in recent years? Even It's not that he can't get the exam questions of the previous years' exams and palace exams."
Brother Jin scratched his head in embarrassment: "Didn't my son not expect this?"
Wei Yan is famous for fighting, his title is Marquis of Dingwei, and he is also a military officer in the court. He never thought that he could ask his father for help
If Brother Lan hadn't mentioned that there were still a few ancient books in his father's study, he would never have been able to link Wei Yan with the imperial examination.
As for asking Fu Li for help?
He glanced at Fu Li, and his lips moved: "If I tell you the matter, it won't be of much help except to make you worry with me."
It's not like he has the temperament to disagree with Fu Li. When he was collecting imperial examination books and materials for Mr. Sun, he had already used all the contacts in Fu Li's hands except for the Dingwei Houfu. The final result was not good... …
Fu Li was stunned, and it took him a while to realize the meaning of Brother Jin's words, and immediately poked his forehead dumbfoundingly: "You kid, I haven't asked, how do you know I can't help you? Even if you didn't talk to me Seeing it outside, it almost troubled the people around me, but some people can't be contacted by your identities as Grandma Tian and Brother Cai, how do you know that there is no one in my network who can help you?"
Brother Jin looked up at Fu Li, and muttered in a low voice, "It's not like I don't know the people you know."
Fu Li laughed angrily and opened his mouth, but he couldn't seem to find any examples to refute
Who told her to take Brother Jin with her in everything, so that she had no secrets at all in front of him?
She was thinking about whether to apologize, find a way for herself to step down, or bite the bullet and tell someone nonsense, when a flash of light suddenly flashed in her mind.She looked at Brother Jin proudly: "Not to mention, I really know someone who you know but have never met, but who can help you."
Brother Jin pondered for a long time, but he didn't think of anyone.
For a long time, he looked at Fu Li suspiciously: "You don't mean the empress, do you?"
With Fu Li's status, he could enter the palace to ask to see the queen, but he went to trouble the empress for some information about the imperial examination, not just for his own family. Is the mother really so careless in doing things?
Fried paused, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "What nonsense are you talking about? Am I so stupid?"
After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the other children, and swallowed the name that slipped to his lips.
I always feel that it is not good to mention the Lin family in front of the Wei family.
Brother Jin noticed something from Fu Li's attitude, and his little expression became a little ugly: "Have you met that family?"
Fu Li smiled: "Let's talk about this later, now, let's continue to talk about why you brought so many people to the study to steal your father's books. If you forget where you said it before, my mother will remind you now .You said before that the book you prepared for Master Sun was useless. Now, please continue!"
Brother Jin wrinkled his little nose, and the unhappiness on his face instantly turned into guilt.
He paused, and then said, "As you know, my son has always been a little stubborn and stubborn. For example, he couldn't help his grandson's imperial examination, so he naturally wanted to get help from others." So, my son pestered Master Sun to ask him what he could do for him.”
"In desperation, Master Sun proposed to visit Master Lu who studied in the Wei family and ask him a few questions."
"Perhaps Mr. Sun thinks this matter is very simple. It's just a meeting to ask for advice. It's not a difficult matter for other people. But..."
Fu Li was stunned. After Brother Jin entered the Wei Clan School to study, she naturally wanted to ask what the Clan School was like.
Even if Mrs. Wei boasted about the Wei family's knowledge, but of course she had to ask Brother Jin about what it was like before she could rest assured.
When Brother Jin came back, he said that everything was fine, but Master was a little too serious, and his temperament was too calm, and he didn't like to be disturbed.Except for academic-related issues, the master has always paid little attention to these students who are studying.
He didn't even talk to his own students, so would Mr. Lu talk to an outsider?
Fu Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You refuse?
Enough? "
Brother Jin shook his head again and again: "My son pestered Mrs. Sun for a long time before he let him say something that my son can help. If I refuse, Master will not let my son do other things."
Fu Li rubbed the space between his brows: "Since you know you can't do it, why didn't you just refuse directly, and instead put yourself in such a difficult situation? I thought you had a very good temper and there was no big problem. Now it seems that you It’s really a little too stubborn.”
Brother Jin lowered his head, looking sad.
Wei Ruolan walked up to him and patted his head comfortingly.
Fu Li thought for a while and asked them: "So, how did you connect this matter with stealing books?"
Before Brother Jin could speak, Wei Ruolan, who was next to him, volunteered to stand up: "Because, because Mr. Lu likes to read books the most, and he likes books that are difficult to buy in the market and that he has never read. Son I have seen basic ancient books in my father's study, so I came up with a bad idea for Brother Jin, thinking that we would first go to father's study to take away the ancient books and copy and engrave the same book by ourselves, and then we would go to my father's study to copy and engrave the same book. Feel free to put the mother back to the original place..."
He paused, then lowered his head dejectedly, "This is something my son did wrong, and I ask mother to punish me."
Fu Li was startled, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "At this time, you are still playing tricks with me. In order to escape punishment, you actually started acting like a baby?"
It was the first time Wei Ruolan called Fu Li that way, and she felt embarrassed when she said that.
Fu Li did not discourage his enthusiasm, but walked up to him with a smile, reached out and touched his head: "Although you can't exempt me from punishing you by acting like a baby to me, but you can call me like this, I'm very happy."
Wei Ruolan was startled for a moment, then her cheeks turned red.
If you look closely, you can also find that his eye sockets are a little wet.
Fu Li was worried that he would be ashamed, so he simply turned his head and pretended not to see it: "Anyway, it is a very wrong thing for you to steal elders' things without the elders' consent, and it needs to be criticized. I can't do this in the future, and I can't exempt you from my punishment. However, since you originally planned to steal it and copy it yourself, and put the original back, the circumstances are not too serious. My punishment to you It is..."
Fu Li looked at the children maliciously, with a sinister smile, "Copy the books you want to copy ten times each! Remember, ten times, not a single word is missing. You must take Show the pious attitude of copying Buddhist scriptures, and the copied books must not have half a typo, let alone traces of smearing and modification."
The children suddenly wailed, and looked at Fu Li, as if they were looking at a terrifying monster.
Lang Geer and Jin Geer looked at each other, and opened their mouths to take all the punishment on themselves
After all, this matter started because of Brother Jin, and it was Brother Lang who came up with the idea. The others really just came to help.
But Fu Li interrupted them first: "I'm talking about everyone, there is absolutely no room for change." After a pause, she smiled and looked at the others except Jin Geer and Lang Geer, " Although the degree of your participation in making mistakes is not as good as Jinggeer and Langeer, most of you present are older than Langeer and Jingeer. When you hear that they have made mistakes, you should have reminded them not to do it. Not only did you not do this, but you followed suit, so I punished you like this, do you have any complaints?"
If the children were a little bit upset before and felt that Fu Li was favoring their own children, after hearing Fu Li's explanation, they would no longer have such thoughts.
Not only did he not feel that it was wrong for Fu Li to punish them the same as Wei Ruolan and Fu Wenjin, but he even wished that Fu Li would punish them by copying them a few more times.
If Fu Li didn't say anything, they would have forgotten that he was older than Wei Ruolan and Fu Wenjin, and he was their elder brother. He should have pointed out when they made mistakes and told them not to make mistakes.
Several people shook their heads embarrassingly, with ashamed expressions.
Fu Li nodded: "In this case, after half a month, you can hand over the copied book to me for inspection."
All the children nodded like pounding garlic, without any resistance on their faces.
After a while, Brother Jin asked cautiously: "But the book..."
Fu Li blinked: "I've never been to Master Hou's study, so I don't know where he put the books. And if you want to borrow books from him, you must ask Master Hou to agree. Come back together, and then personally admit your mistake to Lord Hou, and state your request."
All the children were nodding, Langeer paused, but looked at Fu Li without hope: "What if father refuses to lend us the book?"
Fried paused, although she felt that Wei Yan was not such a stingy person, but given how much the ancients paid attention to the isolated copies of ancient books, she seemed unable to guarantee 100% of the final result.
but……
"Don't worry, even if your father doesn't agree to lend you books, I still have books for you."
Brother Jin subconsciously glanced at Fu Li and got a smile from her.
He wrinkled his little nose and didn't speak.
When the dust settled and the food in the kitchen was ready, Chun Xia beside the old lady came in with a smile: "Madam, young masters, the old lady asked me to come over and tell you that it is ready to eat."
Fu Li turned around and nodded at Chun Xia: "We'll go right away."
As he spoke, he called all the children to eat in the yard of the two old people.
Here, a small turmoil in Marquis Dingwei dissipated, and he was about to eat, and Wei Yan, with four or five colleagues, walked into the gate of Duke Zhou's hotpot restaurant.
Cai Li recognized Wei Yan at a glance, and hurriedly walked out from behind the counter to meet him: "Master Hou, the boss has asked someone to order the ingredients, and the pot has already been cooked, and we can eat directly when you go upstairs. "
Wei Yan glanced at Cai Li and nodded, "You ask someone to lead the way."
Cai Li quickly waved his hand: "The boss has already ordered you to bring a few adults to the store for dinner, so I, the shopkeeper, should welcome them in person, so that I can express her respect for the few adults you brought. The importance of the guests. This is the boss's personal order, if the younger one fails to do so, the boss will deduct my money after he finds out, so you can go upstairs with the younger one."
Wei Yan shook his head helplessly, then turned to look at the few colleagues he had made friends with.
He is a military commander, so most of the people he brings are also military generals
Except for a bachelor who desperately wanted to have dinner with him after hearing the news that he was going to treat guests at Zhou Gong's hot pot restaurant, the others were all rough.
Several generals only thought that Cai Li was very eloquent and eloquent, but the bachelor smiled slightly: "I heard a lot of rumors about your lady before, and I have always been curious about what kind of woman she is. , although I haven’t seen it now, I can see a bit of demeanor from the subordinate she chose.” He gave Wei Yan a thumbs up, “Not to mention, at least your lady has some sense of people, and To be followed by such a person, I think your wife is quite charismatic."
Wei Yan glanced at Cai Li and shook his head: "Xueshi Gu praises you, next generation wife, thank you for your praise."
During the whole process, Cai Li didn't say a word.
After the two of them finished talking, he raised his foot and stretched out his hand to lead Wei Yan and his party to the private room upstairs: "My lords, please."
Compared with women like Jia Min, who are weak and can't be stimulated when eating, these generals are much less particular about eating. When they mixed with soldiers at the border before, they also came here by drinking heavily and eating meat. They drank strong wine and ate stewed beef, horse meat, mutton, etc. with unknown amount of spices. Their tastes were much stronger than those boudoir girls and frail scholars in the capital.
When they first returned to the capital, the food in the capital, which was already considered heavy for Jiangnan, entered their mouths, and it became a little less flavorful, making people feel bland.
In the words of these generals, it is "a bird can fade out of the mouth".
Later, the practice of chili came from the Bazhou government. These generals immediately asked the chefs in the house to cook and eat. After that, they felt that they were alive, and eating was no longer regarded as a task that they had to complete. became enjoyment.
So this time when Wei Yan said that he would invite them to the newly opened Zhougong Hot Pot Restaurant, they hardly asked the reason, but their mouths started to salivate when they heard the name
Even if Wei Yan doesn't invite them to come over for dinner, they will come over sooner or later today or tomorrow.
As for the bachelor, like Wei Yan, he is naturally addicted to spicy food, almost the type of person who likes spicy food.He always asks the chef in his house to add more chili when he cooks. Unfortunately, his wife is a native of the capital. She can eat heavy oil and salt, but she has a bad acceptance of chili. It's not that she can't eat it, but that she can't eat too spicy.And his children are still young, and he dare not let them eat too spicy.
Therefore, every time the Grand Scholar eats at home, he can only be dipped in chili peppers, which makes him feel that he is not happy enough to eat.
Of course, the most important reason is that although peppers have been promoted and planted these years, the common people are indeed willing to plant them, but with only so many years of development, and without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the output of peppers cannot catch up with modern hybrid varieties after all, and the price has remained constant. There is no way to come down.
The chili industry has developed for so many years. Although the price is not as exaggerated as before, it has been fluctuating around the position of liang without dropping much.
Most of them are actually bought by those restaurants and restaurants, and the ones that have been released to the market are becoming rarer and rarer.
As a confidant of Emperor Yonghe, he had been working for him, so naturally he did not dare to embezzle. Except for the three festivals and two lifespans, fire consumption and salary allowed by Emperor Yonghe, he had almost no other income. After paying more than half of the household, I was a little tight.
The so-called three festivals and two longevity refer to the New Year's Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, as well as the birthdays of the officials themselves and their wives;
The consumption of scattered silver collected during taxation and fee collection after re-melting is collected from the common people, and the imperial court has not stipulated the amount collected, so except for the amount handed over to the imperial court, the rest will go to the officials themselves pocket.As long as there is no public dissatisfaction, the court generally doesn't care about it, and it can be regarded as the official's gray and perverted income.
In addition, other officials also have some respect for carbon and ice. When it is cold in winter and hot in summer, subordinate officials will give their superiors filial respect for the reasons of "buying carbon" and "buying ice". rule.In addition, there are various gift names such as "Zhuang Jing" and "Wen Jing".However, the scholar was timid, and he also knew that Emperor Yonghe disliked these acts of bribery, which were just a nice layer of skin, so he never touched them.
In short, he couldn't afford too many peppers.
Moreover, the scholar also heard from some acquaintances that the chili peppers sold in the market or the chili peppers used in the restaurants in the capital before, no matter the taste or the variety, they are completely incomparable with those used in the Fuli restaurant. chili compared to
Less than two years after the pepper planting method was cracked, Fu Li secretly sold all the land he bought and the peppers grown on the hills, and all the peppers sold in the store were provided by her, all produced by Space. , the quality and taste are adequately guaranteed.In recent years, the Zhougong Gourmet Chain Store has been able to stand tall, not only because of its affordable prices, but also because of this.
The bachelor has long been itching for the Duke of Zhou gourmet chain store, but this chain store has been opened almost all over Daxia before, and he didn't mention opening one in the capital, just like forgetting the capital, even if he wants to Tasting, can't find a place either.
Because he wanted to taste the food in the Zhougong Gourmet Chain Store so much, the Grand Master was even thinking about whether he should find a way to get the emperor to send him to another place so that he could eat the food in the Zhougong Gourmet Chain Store.
Fortunately, Emperor Yonghe didn't know what the Grand Scholar was thinking, otherwise he would have suspended him on the grounds of "not doing his job properly", and let him go back to his hometown to eat his fill.
Now that there is finally a shop with Zhou Gong's name in the capital, and he has also caught a chance to eat enough money for free, even if he doesn't know Wei Yan well, how could he let it go?
But from what Wei Yan said, he seemed to want to use officials like them to promote Zhou Gong's hotpot restaurant?
It's simple, it's not that the scholar is bragging. When he participated in the palace examination, he was able to get the position of Chuanlu because of the excellent poem that he played in the palace examination.Among the candidates in their class, apart from Tanhua Lin Ruhai, only his poems were praised by the emperor.
Publicity for Zhougong Hot Pot Restaurant?As long as the food in the hot pot shop is really as delicious as the rumors say, he will definitely compose a poem on the spot to let everyone know that hot pot is delicious.
So even though the bachelor came here to have dinner with him, he was not guilty at all. He was more confident than Wei Yan's serious treats, and he walked with wind.
In terms of publicity, everyone here is hot chicken!
Wei Yan has also worked with this university scholar for many years. Although he doesn't like his arrogant temperament, he also knows that he is indeed talented, so he half-heartedly agrees to invite him to dinner. What is the idea in his heart? The two scholars also tacitly agreed.
After entering the private room, the aroma of hot pot came to my nostrils.
They had already smelled it when they were on the first floor just now. In fact, several people were already prepared in their hearts, and they were full of expectations for the food they would eat next.But because there are so many people downstairs, the smell of hot pot is mixed with other smells, and it doesn't smell so pure.
So as soon as they entered the private room, they were shocked by the smell in the room.
Wei Yan had tasted the taste of hotpot in Bazhou Mansion before, before Fu Li seasoned the clear soup hotpot, and he also ate a few times, so he didn't think the taste was anything, so he went straight into the house without pausing.
After walking a few steps, he didn't hear the footsteps of other people following up, so he turned to look at them.
Those people had enough concentration on their own, and they didn't care about being shocked when they saw Wei Yan, they walked in in a few steps, but before Wei Yan and Cai Li greeted them, they found the nearest seat and sat down one by one.
The bachelor looked up at Cai Li impatiently: "Tell me how to eat this hot pot."
Cai Li took a look at Wei Yan, saw him nodding, and told them the order of putting down each ingredient and how to eat it with a few people.
"It's just a meal, why do you pay so much attention? You can eat it when it's cooked! I think it tastes good, no matter how you eat it, it won't taste bad, so don't bother." A general felt that it was a bit troublesome and rushed After Cai Li said this, he raised his hand to grab a plate of meat and was about to pour it into the pot.
Before Cai Li had time to stop him, he saw the scholar beside him suddenly get up, pick up his chopsticks and hit the general on the head: "Stop it, Guo Tong, let me tell you, if you disturb my interest in eating today, believe it or not!" Tomorrow, the court will gather a group of censors to refer to you, and make you a joke of civil and military officials?" Seeing that the generals didn't care about it and wanted to pour meat into the pot, the bachelor directly made a big move, "I listen Said you are afraid of the inside? If so, how dare you keep a house outside? If my sister-in-law knew about this, I don’t know if she would pick up a big knife and chase you down!"
The general froze, and turned his head to look at the grand scholar in disbelief: "You little old man, how dare you slander me?"
Even though he said so, Guo Tong's hand holding the meat plate slowly retreated, and finally put it on the table.
Now, who doesn't know the truth of Gu Xueshi's words?
Gu Xueshi sneered: "If you haven't done it, just pour the meat into the pot."
Guo Tong picked up the plate containing the meat again.
Gu Xueshi followed up and said, "As long as you dare to fall, I will dare to let someone tell my wife about it!"
Guo Tong was about to be pissed off by Gu Xueshi: "Why are you so sluggish? It's just a meal, and you still threaten other people's family affairs, you are really shameless!"
"It can't compare to your golden house hidden beauty!"
After Gu Xueshi finished speaking, he snatched the plate containing the meat from him, and then put it in his hand and put it away.
Then turned to look at Cai Li: "Go ahead and tell me, how do these ingredients taste the best?"
Seeing this, the other generals, who were also a little ready to move, stopped immediately.
These civil servants are full of bad water. Who knows if he has caught some of them?Even if he is impeached tomorrow when he is not in court, even if he is only exposed in front of acquaintances, it will be enough to make them ashamed.So no one dared to start eating before Cai Li finished speaking, and everyone was as well-behaved as the students in class, and they almost shook their heads and recited the article.
Cai Li only felt that his eyes were wide open, and he hurriedly told the other party all the points to pay attention to, and then said: "Sirs, please take your time, and I will go downstairs. If you need anything, just go to the opposite door. Xiao Er who was standing outside said that he was standing outside the door and waiting for orders at any time."
Gu Xueshi waved his hand indifferently: "Go and do your work, you have nothing to do here!"
Cai Li retreated after saluting, and he did not forget to close the door when he left, so that no one could see the scene inside the house.
It's just that although a few people didn't make any noise when they came up just now, some of the guests on the first floor knew one of the officials.Before the people went upstairs, no one dared to make trouble in front of them, but now that the private room where several people were in was closed, these people couldn't restrain themselves, and turned around and talked to the people around them The identities of several people.
The identities of the other people are relatively few, but almost everyone has heard that Cai Li is called Lord Wei Yan, and others have contacted Zhougong Hot Pot Restaurant with him, so how can they not guess Wei Yan's identity?
I didn't expect to see Fu Li's beauty in the morning, and I thought that Wei Yan might look crooked, and he was not worthy of the proprietress of Zhou Gong's hot pot restaurant. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Ding Weihou came to the door to rectify his name
As far as Wei Yan's handsome looks, coupled with his status, who can say that he is not good enough for Fu Li?
For a while, the couple Wei Yan and Fu Li were rumored to be a loving couple with a talent and beauty, almost surpassing the emperor and queen, and becoming the model couple of the whole Great Xia.
It can be seen that knocking CP is an instinct engraved in the genes of human beings, and it is loved by everyone in ancient and modern China and abroad.
That's not even the biggest news of the day.
After the Grand Master was amazed by the hot pot without any accidents, and then came out of the private room with a red face, someone boldly asked him how he felt after eating the hot pot. wrote a poem.
As a result of the joy, the written poems naturally reveal their true feelings and are catchy. The common people almost remember them in their hearts after listening to them.
Because of this poem, the guests present even felt that the hot pot tasted better than before.
Tsk, it's so delicious!
Soon, this poem and the name of the hot pot restaurant spread throughout the capital, and even tended to spread to the entire Great Xia.
As this poem becomes famous, more people will naturally hear it. With more people, it is inevitable that some people will become curious about the gourmet hot pot praised by the poem.
Even if you didn’t have much interest in hot pot, a food that gets hot when you hear it, after reading this poem, you can’t help but want to go to Zhou Gong’s hot pot restaurant to taste it, so that you can taste whether the taste is really as described in the poem The same, people can't stop after eating.
Even people who can't eat chili are starting to move around
Didn't it say in Gu Xueshi's poem that there are two kinds of hot pot in the hot pot restaurant, one is red soup and the other is clear soup.Although the clear soup is not as good as the red soup, it is also very delicious?
So in the next few days, the business of Zhougong Hot Pot Restaurant was almost full every day, and even the private rooms on the second floor were not available.
After eating, all of these people let out a sigh
Really fragrant!
The author has something to say: Last night, the neighbors quarreled in the middle of the night, and the epidemic prevention horn sounded early in the day, and I didn’t sleep well at all. Let’s see if I can write more tomorrow, okay?
A group of children in the study turned their heads when they heard the sound, and all the books in their hands and arms fell to the ground with a crackling sound.Facing Fu Li's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, their legs went limp for an instant, and they were almost scared to death.
After the study room was completely quiet, Brother Jin and Wei Ruolan looked at each other, raised his hand to stop him from going forward, and walked up to Fu Li awkwardly: "Mother, why are you here? The new store opened today , shouldn’t you sit in the store?”
Fu Li smiled: "Thanks to your father, who invited my colleagues to the hot pot restaurant for dinner today, I was able to leave the restaurant, otherwise..." She lowered her head and looked directly into Brother Jin's eyes, "How could I find out? , did a group of little mice enter the house?"
After speaking, his eyes fell on the others.
It was the first time for the other children to see Fu Li. Although they were a little amazed by Fu Li's beauty, this feeling only lingered in the hearts of a few of them for a while and then dissipated. Instead, they were overwhelmed by a huge sense of shame. head, not daring to look at Fu Li.
When we met for the first time, we were caught for stealing things, no matter how thick-skinned we were, it was impossible for us to feel indifferent, right?
Wei Ruolan, as the person who came up with the idea, glanced at her brother, then at Brother Jin with a dejected face, hurriedly walked up to Fu Li and confessed to her: "Mother, don't blame them, they will go to the study room today. Come, it was my son's idea."
Brother Jin was in a hurry, and looked at Fu Li and shook his head: "Mother, don't listen to Brother Lan, although he made the idea, but he is for his son, and if the son refuses to agree, Brother Lan will not bring his son here When Daddy's study comes, the other brothers will not come to help."
Brother Jin explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly in a few words, and Fu Li understood it, but he couldn't figure it out.
She blinked, and looked at Brother Jin suspiciously: "It sounds like the cause of the incident seems to be on Brother Jin, and the others are just helping him. But, you stay in ethnology classes all day long, this paragraph Master Shi put most of his energy on those students who will take the imperial examination next year, you, a kid who just entered ethnology, what kind of trouble can you encounter?"
Brother Jin pursed his lips, not knowing how to speak.
Fu Li became more and more surprised: "With your knowledge, unless the master of ethnology deliberately makes it difficult, it is impossible for you to encounter the problem of having to come to your father's study to steal books", right?If you have any questions in school, just ask your wife, if you have any questions in life, just ask me... I remember I told you this when you were very young? "
Whether Fu Li was with Brother Jin or when Wei Ruolan was still living with her, she had always been very lenient in educating the two children. Although she did not hide the child's secret, if the child really had a child, she would not tell it. She would not force the two children to tell her secret to herself.
But this time things are different, it involves the conduct of the two children
If there is no reason for her to be forgiven, Fu Li will inevitably punish the two children a little.
No, even if there is a reason for forgiveness, she must give the two children a punishment: no matter what, stealing is a moral bottom line that must never be touched. If it is not corrected this time, the two children will not be aware of it. Who knows that these two children will not stop thinking about things that can be solved by "stealing" in the future?
Seeing that Fu Li would not give up unless he asked clearly, Brother Jin hesitated to ask Fu Li for a guarantee: "Mother, this matter really has nothing to do with other brothers, they really just help It's just me."
Fu Li nodded: "You first tell what is going on, and then I will make sure whether it really has nothing to do with other people."
After finishing speaking, her eyes fell on the others, her expression was serious, making people feel scared when they saw it.
The students who had never been in contact with Fu Li before inevitably had the impression that she was "too serious" and "not to be provoked", and they all stood behind obediently, not daring to say a word.
Wei Ruolan was also a little scared. After all, Fu Li used to smile almost every day, and his expression was very gentle and friendly when facing him and brother Jin. He had never shown such a serious expression to them.
He opened his mouth, wanting to explain to Brother Jin, but was blocked by Fu Li's fluttering eyes.
Brother Jin took a deep breath, and hesitantly explained the whole thing according to the cause: "Didn't the son tell his mother before that he wanted to collect some information about the exam for Mr. Sun, which is regarded as repaying Mr. Taking care of my son? The son invited Grandma Tian, Brother Cai and others to the hall of the capital, and finally bought a lot of books, and asked someone to inquire about Sun Fuzi’s residence, and then brought the books to the door, intending to give them to Sun Fuzi.”
Fu Li nodded. Brother Jin did say many times that he wanted to find books and exam materials for Mrs. Sun. Even on the eve of her wedding, what he was thinking about besides not being willing to share himself with Brother Lang was to want to Repay Mrs. Sun.
She always kept it in mind.
Brother Jin rubbed his fingers nervously, and continued: "Unexpectedly, Master Sun has a classmate who has already been admitted to Jinshi, and this year he was also admitted to the Hanlin Academy as a Shujishi, and now he is an official in the capital. The books my son bought Master Sun already has a copy of the materials and materials. Even, the materials in Master’s hands are more complete than those bought by his son.”
"Although Mrs. Sun still expressed his gratitude to his son, the son felt a little frustrated that he had done nothing for his master."
Fu Li was stunned for a moment, and frowned: "Actually, you can tell your mother about this, or simply tell your father. With Ming Jing's current ability, wouldn't it be easy for him to collect information about scientific research in recent years? Even It's not that he can't get the exam questions of the previous years' exams and palace exams."
Brother Jin scratched his head in embarrassment: "Didn't my son not expect this?"
Wei Yan is famous for fighting, his title is Marquis of Dingwei, and he is also a military officer in the court. He never thought that he could ask his father for help
If Brother Lan hadn't mentioned that there were still a few ancient books in his father's study, he would never have been able to link Wei Yan with the imperial examination.
As for asking Fu Li for help?
He glanced at Fu Li, and his lips moved: "If I tell you the matter, it won't be of much help except to make you worry with me."
It's not like he has the temperament to disagree with Fu Li. When he was collecting imperial examination books and materials for Mr. Sun, he had already used all the contacts in Fu Li's hands except for the Dingwei Houfu. The final result was not good... …
Fu Li was stunned, and it took him a while to realize the meaning of Brother Jin's words, and immediately poked his forehead dumbfoundingly: "You kid, I haven't asked, how do you know I can't help you? Even if you didn't talk to me Seeing it outside, it almost troubled the people around me, but some people can't be contacted by your identities as Grandma Tian and Brother Cai, how do you know that there is no one in my network who can help you?"
Brother Jin looked up at Fu Li, and muttered in a low voice, "It's not like I don't know the people you know."
Fu Li laughed angrily and opened his mouth, but he couldn't seem to find any examples to refute
Who told her to take Brother Jin with her in everything, so that she had no secrets at all in front of him?
She was thinking about whether to apologize, find a way for herself to step down, or bite the bullet and tell someone nonsense, when a flash of light suddenly flashed in her mind.She looked at Brother Jin proudly: "Not to mention, I really know someone who you know but have never met, but who can help you."
Brother Jin pondered for a long time, but he didn't think of anyone.
For a long time, he looked at Fu Li suspiciously: "You don't mean the empress, do you?"
With Fu Li's status, he could enter the palace to ask to see the queen, but he went to trouble the empress for some information about the imperial examination, not just for his own family. Is the mother really so careless in doing things?
Fried paused, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "What nonsense are you talking about? Am I so stupid?"
After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the other children, and swallowed the name that slipped to his lips.
I always feel that it is not good to mention the Lin family in front of the Wei family.
Brother Jin noticed something from Fu Li's attitude, and his little expression became a little ugly: "Have you met that family?"
Fu Li smiled: "Let's talk about this later, now, let's continue to talk about why you brought so many people to the study to steal your father's books. If you forget where you said it before, my mother will remind you now .You said before that the book you prepared for Master Sun was useless. Now, please continue!"
Brother Jin wrinkled his little nose, and the unhappiness on his face instantly turned into guilt.
He paused, and then said, "As you know, my son has always been a little stubborn and stubborn. For example, he couldn't help his grandson's imperial examination, so he naturally wanted to get help from others." So, my son pestered Master Sun to ask him what he could do for him.”
"In desperation, Master Sun proposed to visit Master Lu who studied in the Wei family and ask him a few questions."
"Perhaps Mr. Sun thinks this matter is very simple. It's just a meeting to ask for advice. It's not a difficult matter for other people. But..."
Fu Li was stunned. After Brother Jin entered the Wei Clan School to study, she naturally wanted to ask what the Clan School was like.
Even if Mrs. Wei boasted about the Wei family's knowledge, but of course she had to ask Brother Jin about what it was like before she could rest assured.
When Brother Jin came back, he said that everything was fine, but Master was a little too serious, and his temperament was too calm, and he didn't like to be disturbed.Except for academic-related issues, the master has always paid little attention to these students who are studying.
He didn't even talk to his own students, so would Mr. Lu talk to an outsider?
Fu Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You refuse?
Enough? "
Brother Jin shook his head again and again: "My son pestered Mrs. Sun for a long time before he let him say something that my son can help. If I refuse, Master will not let my son do other things."
Fu Li rubbed the space between his brows: "Since you know you can't do it, why didn't you just refuse directly, and instead put yourself in such a difficult situation? I thought you had a very good temper and there was no big problem. Now it seems that you It’s really a little too stubborn.”
Brother Jin lowered his head, looking sad.
Wei Ruolan walked up to him and patted his head comfortingly.
Fu Li thought for a while and asked them: "So, how did you connect this matter with stealing books?"
Before Brother Jin could speak, Wei Ruolan, who was next to him, volunteered to stand up: "Because, because Mr. Lu likes to read books the most, and he likes books that are difficult to buy in the market and that he has never read. Son I have seen basic ancient books in my father's study, so I came up with a bad idea for Brother Jin, thinking that we would first go to father's study to take away the ancient books and copy and engrave the same book by ourselves, and then we would go to my father's study to copy and engrave the same book. Feel free to put the mother back to the original place..."
He paused, then lowered his head dejectedly, "This is something my son did wrong, and I ask mother to punish me."
Fu Li was startled, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "At this time, you are still playing tricks with me. In order to escape punishment, you actually started acting like a baby?"
It was the first time Wei Ruolan called Fu Li that way, and she felt embarrassed when she said that.
Fu Li did not discourage his enthusiasm, but walked up to him with a smile, reached out and touched his head: "Although you can't exempt me from punishing you by acting like a baby to me, but you can call me like this, I'm very happy."
Wei Ruolan was startled for a moment, then her cheeks turned red.
If you look closely, you can also find that his eye sockets are a little wet.
Fu Li was worried that he would be ashamed, so he simply turned his head and pretended not to see it: "Anyway, it is a very wrong thing for you to steal elders' things without the elders' consent, and it needs to be criticized. I can't do this in the future, and I can't exempt you from my punishment. However, since you originally planned to steal it and copy it yourself, and put the original back, the circumstances are not too serious. My punishment to you It is..."
Fu Li looked at the children maliciously, with a sinister smile, "Copy the books you want to copy ten times each! Remember, ten times, not a single word is missing. You must take Show the pious attitude of copying Buddhist scriptures, and the copied books must not have half a typo, let alone traces of smearing and modification."
The children suddenly wailed, and looked at Fu Li, as if they were looking at a terrifying monster.
Lang Geer and Jin Geer looked at each other, and opened their mouths to take all the punishment on themselves
After all, this matter started because of Brother Jin, and it was Brother Lang who came up with the idea. The others really just came to help.
But Fu Li interrupted them first: "I'm talking about everyone, there is absolutely no room for change." After a pause, she smiled and looked at the others except Jin Geer and Lang Geer, " Although the degree of your participation in making mistakes is not as good as Jinggeer and Langeer, most of you present are older than Langeer and Jingeer. When you hear that they have made mistakes, you should have reminded them not to do it. Not only did you not do this, but you followed suit, so I punished you like this, do you have any complaints?"
If the children were a little bit upset before and felt that Fu Li was favoring their own children, after hearing Fu Li's explanation, they would no longer have such thoughts.
Not only did he not feel that it was wrong for Fu Li to punish them the same as Wei Ruolan and Fu Wenjin, but he even wished that Fu Li would punish them by copying them a few more times.
If Fu Li didn't say anything, they would have forgotten that he was older than Wei Ruolan and Fu Wenjin, and he was their elder brother. He should have pointed out when they made mistakes and told them not to make mistakes.
Several people shook their heads embarrassingly, with ashamed expressions.
Fu Li nodded: "In this case, after half a month, you can hand over the copied book to me for inspection."
All the children nodded like pounding garlic, without any resistance on their faces.
After a while, Brother Jin asked cautiously: "But the book..."
Fu Li blinked: "I've never been to Master Hou's study, so I don't know where he put the books. And if you want to borrow books from him, you must ask Master Hou to agree. Come back together, and then personally admit your mistake to Lord Hou, and state your request."
All the children were nodding, Langeer paused, but looked at Fu Li without hope: "What if father refuses to lend us the book?"
Fried paused, although she felt that Wei Yan was not such a stingy person, but given how much the ancients paid attention to the isolated copies of ancient books, she seemed unable to guarantee 100% of the final result.
but……
"Don't worry, even if your father doesn't agree to lend you books, I still have books for you."
Brother Jin subconsciously glanced at Fu Li and got a smile from her.
He wrinkled his little nose and didn't speak.
When the dust settled and the food in the kitchen was ready, Chun Xia beside the old lady came in with a smile: "Madam, young masters, the old lady asked me to come over and tell you that it is ready to eat."
Fu Li turned around and nodded at Chun Xia: "We'll go right away."
As he spoke, he called all the children to eat in the yard of the two old people.
Here, a small turmoil in Marquis Dingwei dissipated, and he was about to eat, and Wei Yan, with four or five colleagues, walked into the gate of Duke Zhou's hotpot restaurant.
Cai Li recognized Wei Yan at a glance, and hurriedly walked out from behind the counter to meet him: "Master Hou, the boss has asked someone to order the ingredients, and the pot has already been cooked, and we can eat directly when you go upstairs. "
Wei Yan glanced at Cai Li and nodded, "You ask someone to lead the way."
Cai Li quickly waved his hand: "The boss has already ordered you to bring a few adults to the store for dinner, so I, the shopkeeper, should welcome them in person, so that I can express her respect for the few adults you brought. The importance of the guests. This is the boss's personal order, if the younger one fails to do so, the boss will deduct my money after he finds out, so you can go upstairs with the younger one."
Wei Yan shook his head helplessly, then turned to look at the few colleagues he had made friends with.
He is a military commander, so most of the people he brings are also military generals
Except for a bachelor who desperately wanted to have dinner with him after hearing the news that he was going to treat guests at Zhou Gong's hot pot restaurant, the others were all rough.
Several generals only thought that Cai Li was very eloquent and eloquent, but the bachelor smiled slightly: "I heard a lot of rumors about your lady before, and I have always been curious about what kind of woman she is. , although I haven’t seen it now, I can see a bit of demeanor from the subordinate she chose.” He gave Wei Yan a thumbs up, “Not to mention, at least your lady has some sense of people, and To be followed by such a person, I think your wife is quite charismatic."
Wei Yan glanced at Cai Li and shook his head: "Xueshi Gu praises you, next generation wife, thank you for your praise."
During the whole process, Cai Li didn't say a word.
After the two of them finished talking, he raised his foot and stretched out his hand to lead Wei Yan and his party to the private room upstairs: "My lords, please."
Compared with women like Jia Min, who are weak and can't be stimulated when eating, these generals are much less particular about eating. When they mixed with soldiers at the border before, they also came here by drinking heavily and eating meat. They drank strong wine and ate stewed beef, horse meat, mutton, etc. with unknown amount of spices. Their tastes were much stronger than those boudoir girls and frail scholars in the capital.
When they first returned to the capital, the food in the capital, which was already considered heavy for Jiangnan, entered their mouths, and it became a little less flavorful, making people feel bland.
In the words of these generals, it is "a bird can fade out of the mouth".
Later, the practice of chili came from the Bazhou government. These generals immediately asked the chefs in the house to cook and eat. After that, they felt that they were alive, and eating was no longer regarded as a task that they had to complete. became enjoyment.
So this time when Wei Yan said that he would invite them to the newly opened Zhougong Hot Pot Restaurant, they hardly asked the reason, but their mouths started to salivate when they heard the name
Even if Wei Yan doesn't invite them to come over for dinner, they will come over sooner or later today or tomorrow.
As for the bachelor, like Wei Yan, he is naturally addicted to spicy food, almost the type of person who likes spicy food.He always asks the chef in his house to add more chili when he cooks. Unfortunately, his wife is a native of the capital. She can eat heavy oil and salt, but she has a bad acceptance of chili. It's not that she can't eat it, but that she can't eat too spicy.And his children are still young, and he dare not let them eat too spicy.
Therefore, every time the Grand Scholar eats at home, he can only be dipped in chili peppers, which makes him feel that he is not happy enough to eat.
Of course, the most important reason is that although peppers have been promoted and planted these years, the common people are indeed willing to plant them, but with only so many years of development, and without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the output of peppers cannot catch up with modern hybrid varieties after all, and the price has remained constant. There is no way to come down.
The chili industry has developed for so many years. Although the price is not as exaggerated as before, it has been fluctuating around the position of liang without dropping much.
Most of them are actually bought by those restaurants and restaurants, and the ones that have been released to the market are becoming rarer and rarer.
As a confidant of Emperor Yonghe, he had been working for him, so naturally he did not dare to embezzle. Except for the three festivals and two lifespans, fire consumption and salary allowed by Emperor Yonghe, he had almost no other income. After paying more than half of the household, I was a little tight.
The so-called three festivals and two longevity refer to the New Year's Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, as well as the birthdays of the officials themselves and their wives;
The consumption of scattered silver collected during taxation and fee collection after re-melting is collected from the common people, and the imperial court has not stipulated the amount collected, so except for the amount handed over to the imperial court, the rest will go to the officials themselves pocket.As long as there is no public dissatisfaction, the court generally doesn't care about it, and it can be regarded as the official's gray and perverted income.
In addition, other officials also have some respect for carbon and ice. When it is cold in winter and hot in summer, subordinate officials will give their superiors filial respect for the reasons of "buying carbon" and "buying ice". rule.In addition, there are various gift names such as "Zhuang Jing" and "Wen Jing".However, the scholar was timid, and he also knew that Emperor Yonghe disliked these acts of bribery, which were just a nice layer of skin, so he never touched them.
In short, he couldn't afford too many peppers.
Moreover, the scholar also heard from some acquaintances that the chili peppers sold in the market or the chili peppers used in the restaurants in the capital before, no matter the taste or the variety, they are completely incomparable with those used in the Fuli restaurant. chili compared to
Less than two years after the pepper planting method was cracked, Fu Li secretly sold all the land he bought and the peppers grown on the hills, and all the peppers sold in the store were provided by her, all produced by Space. , the quality and taste are adequately guaranteed.In recent years, the Zhougong Gourmet Chain Store has been able to stand tall, not only because of its affordable prices, but also because of this.
The bachelor has long been itching for the Duke of Zhou gourmet chain store, but this chain store has been opened almost all over Daxia before, and he didn't mention opening one in the capital, just like forgetting the capital, even if he wants to Tasting, can't find a place either.
Because he wanted to taste the food in the Zhougong Gourmet Chain Store so much, the Grand Master was even thinking about whether he should find a way to get the emperor to send him to another place so that he could eat the food in the Zhougong Gourmet Chain Store.
Fortunately, Emperor Yonghe didn't know what the Grand Scholar was thinking, otherwise he would have suspended him on the grounds of "not doing his job properly", and let him go back to his hometown to eat his fill.
Now that there is finally a shop with Zhou Gong's name in the capital, and he has also caught a chance to eat enough money for free, even if he doesn't know Wei Yan well, how could he let it go?
But from what Wei Yan said, he seemed to want to use officials like them to promote Zhou Gong's hotpot restaurant?
It's simple, it's not that the scholar is bragging. When he participated in the palace examination, he was able to get the position of Chuanlu because of the excellent poem that he played in the palace examination.Among the candidates in their class, apart from Tanhua Lin Ruhai, only his poems were praised by the emperor.
Publicity for Zhougong Hot Pot Restaurant?As long as the food in the hot pot shop is really as delicious as the rumors say, he will definitely compose a poem on the spot to let everyone know that hot pot is delicious.
So even though the bachelor came here to have dinner with him, he was not guilty at all. He was more confident than Wei Yan's serious treats, and he walked with wind.
In terms of publicity, everyone here is hot chicken!
Wei Yan has also worked with this university scholar for many years. Although he doesn't like his arrogant temperament, he also knows that he is indeed talented, so he half-heartedly agrees to invite him to dinner. What is the idea in his heart? The two scholars also tacitly agreed.
After entering the private room, the aroma of hot pot came to my nostrils.
They had already smelled it when they were on the first floor just now. In fact, several people were already prepared in their hearts, and they were full of expectations for the food they would eat next.But because there are so many people downstairs, the smell of hot pot is mixed with other smells, and it doesn't smell so pure.
So as soon as they entered the private room, they were shocked by the smell in the room.
Wei Yan had tasted the taste of hotpot in Bazhou Mansion before, before Fu Li seasoned the clear soup hotpot, and he also ate a few times, so he didn't think the taste was anything, so he went straight into the house without pausing.
After walking a few steps, he didn't hear the footsteps of other people following up, so he turned to look at them.
Those people had enough concentration on their own, and they didn't care about being shocked when they saw Wei Yan, they walked in in a few steps, but before Wei Yan and Cai Li greeted them, they found the nearest seat and sat down one by one.
The bachelor looked up at Cai Li impatiently: "Tell me how to eat this hot pot."
Cai Li took a look at Wei Yan, saw him nodding, and told them the order of putting down each ingredient and how to eat it with a few people.
"It's just a meal, why do you pay so much attention? You can eat it when it's cooked! I think it tastes good, no matter how you eat it, it won't taste bad, so don't bother." A general felt that it was a bit troublesome and rushed After Cai Li said this, he raised his hand to grab a plate of meat and was about to pour it into the pot.
Before Cai Li had time to stop him, he saw the scholar beside him suddenly get up, pick up his chopsticks and hit the general on the head: "Stop it, Guo Tong, let me tell you, if you disturb my interest in eating today, believe it or not!" Tomorrow, the court will gather a group of censors to refer to you, and make you a joke of civil and military officials?" Seeing that the generals didn't care about it and wanted to pour meat into the pot, the bachelor directly made a big move, "I listen Said you are afraid of the inside? If so, how dare you keep a house outside? If my sister-in-law knew about this, I don’t know if she would pick up a big knife and chase you down!"
The general froze, and turned his head to look at the grand scholar in disbelief: "You little old man, how dare you slander me?"
Even though he said so, Guo Tong's hand holding the meat plate slowly retreated, and finally put it on the table.
Now, who doesn't know the truth of Gu Xueshi's words?
Gu Xueshi sneered: "If you haven't done it, just pour the meat into the pot."
Guo Tong picked up the plate containing the meat again.
Gu Xueshi followed up and said, "As long as you dare to fall, I will dare to let someone tell my wife about it!"
Guo Tong was about to be pissed off by Gu Xueshi: "Why are you so sluggish? It's just a meal, and you still threaten other people's family affairs, you are really shameless!"
"It can't compare to your golden house hidden beauty!"
After Gu Xueshi finished speaking, he snatched the plate containing the meat from him, and then put it in his hand and put it away.
Then turned to look at Cai Li: "Go ahead and tell me, how do these ingredients taste the best?"
Seeing this, the other generals, who were also a little ready to move, stopped immediately.
These civil servants are full of bad water. Who knows if he has caught some of them?Even if he is impeached tomorrow when he is not in court, even if he is only exposed in front of acquaintances, it will be enough to make them ashamed.So no one dared to start eating before Cai Li finished speaking, and everyone was as well-behaved as the students in class, and they almost shook their heads and recited the article.
Cai Li only felt that his eyes were wide open, and he hurriedly told the other party all the points to pay attention to, and then said: "Sirs, please take your time, and I will go downstairs. If you need anything, just go to the opposite door. Xiao Er who was standing outside said that he was standing outside the door and waiting for orders at any time."
Gu Xueshi waved his hand indifferently: "Go and do your work, you have nothing to do here!"
Cai Li retreated after saluting, and he did not forget to close the door when he left, so that no one could see the scene inside the house.
It's just that although a few people didn't make any noise when they came up just now, some of the guests on the first floor knew one of the officials.Before the people went upstairs, no one dared to make trouble in front of them, but now that the private room where several people were in was closed, these people couldn't restrain themselves, and turned around and talked to the people around them The identities of several people.
The identities of the other people are relatively few, but almost everyone has heard that Cai Li is called Lord Wei Yan, and others have contacted Zhougong Hot Pot Restaurant with him, so how can they not guess Wei Yan's identity?
I didn't expect to see Fu Li's beauty in the morning, and I thought that Wei Yan might look crooked, and he was not worthy of the proprietress of Zhou Gong's hot pot restaurant. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Ding Weihou came to the door to rectify his name
As far as Wei Yan's handsome looks, coupled with his status, who can say that he is not good enough for Fu Li?
For a while, the couple Wei Yan and Fu Li were rumored to be a loving couple with a talent and beauty, almost surpassing the emperor and queen, and becoming the model couple of the whole Great Xia.
It can be seen that knocking CP is an instinct engraved in the genes of human beings, and it is loved by everyone in ancient and modern China and abroad.
That's not even the biggest news of the day.
After the Grand Master was amazed by the hot pot without any accidents, and then came out of the private room with a red face, someone boldly asked him how he felt after eating the hot pot. wrote a poem.
As a result of the joy, the written poems naturally reveal their true feelings and are catchy. The common people almost remember them in their hearts after listening to them.
Because of this poem, the guests present even felt that the hot pot tasted better than before.
Tsk, it's so delicious!
Soon, this poem and the name of the hot pot restaurant spread throughout the capital, and even tended to spread to the entire Great Xia.
As this poem becomes famous, more people will naturally hear it. With more people, it is inevitable that some people will become curious about the gourmet hot pot praised by the poem.
Even if you didn’t have much interest in hot pot, a food that gets hot when you hear it, after reading this poem, you can’t help but want to go to Zhou Gong’s hot pot restaurant to taste it, so that you can taste whether the taste is really as described in the poem The same, people can't stop after eating.
Even people who can't eat chili are starting to move around
Didn't it say in Gu Xueshi's poem that there are two kinds of hot pot in the hot pot restaurant, one is red soup and the other is clear soup.Although the clear soup is not as good as the red soup, it is also very delicious?
So in the next few days, the business of Zhougong Hot Pot Restaurant was almost full every day, and even the private rooms on the second floor were not available.
After eating, all of these people let out a sigh
Really fragrant!
The author has something to say: Last night, the neighbors quarreled in the middle of the night, and the epidemic prevention horn sounded early in the day, and I didn’t sleep well at all. Let’s see if I can write more tomorrow, okay?
