Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

"Xuanxuan." Yunmengxi couldn't help softening her voice when she met Baixuan's cute eyes.

He glanced at Chu Zhuang who was looking at him with a smile on the side, and then at Bai Jingting with a kind face, his eyes couldn't help turning red.

"What's the matter?" Seeing this, Chu Zhuang asked anxiously.

He just wanted to tease Yunmengxi and express his feelings by the way, how could he make people cry.

Bai Xuan blinked, pulled Yunmengxi's sleeve, and asked softly, "Brother Mengxi, what's the matter with you?"

"I'm fine." Yunmengxi took a deep breath, suppressed the tears in his eyes, and shook his head slightly.

He felt that his father and elder brother in heaven should protect him, so he was allowed to meet Chu Zhuang when he was in a desperate situation, so that he could feel the warmth of this world again.

Chu Zhuang rolled his eyes and realized that Yunmengxi was homesick.

Thinking about Yunmengxi's situation, Chu Zhuang sighed slightly in his heart. He held Yunmengxi's hand and said, "In the future, I will find a chance to accompany you to the north."

Even though he knew that the bodies might not be found, he would at least take Yunmengxi to worship and set up a tomb for them.

"Thank you." Yunmengxi looked at Chu Zhuang gratefully, this was the deepest thought in his heart now.

Bai Jingting looked at Yunmengxi and Chuzhuang, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart. He only hoped that these two young people could support each other and walk together in the future.

"Let's all take your seats."

Bai Jingting opened his mouth and greeted: "Master Liang is also sitting, let's compare this hot pot with Yipinju's signature dishes!"

Chu Zhuang and Bai Jingting took Bai Xuan to the table, one on the left and one on the right. During the dinner, there were Bai Xuan's childish words and Master Liang's excited praise, and soon all the hot pot ingredients on the table were eaten up.

As for the signature dishes of Yipinju, they were still placed on the table intact, only a few dishes were slightly moved with chopsticks.

It is clear at a glance how natural the two are.

"Go and rest for a while."

After lunch, Chu Zhuang saw Yunmengxi showing a tired look, and asked him and Bai Xuan to go to the backyard to rest for a while, while he and Bai Jingting went into the study to have a secret conversation.

"Zhuang'er, did that old fairy you met teach you anything other than hot pot?" Bai Jingting asked impatiently as soon as he entered the room.

"The old fairy also taught me a lot of things, but because there are too many things, I can't remember all of them in a short time."

Chu Zhuang nodded affirmatively. He has learned a lot in the past few decades!

Now that he has merged with the original body's memory, some things still need to be sorted out.

"What about the imperial examination?" Bai Jingting asked excitedly, his eyes full of tension.

Chu Zhuang was slightly taken aback, and nodded. He was originally a professor of ancient Chinese literature. Although he resigned later, he still couldn't let go of this hobby. When he had nothing to do, he would read ancient books.

Although this Yue Dynasty was a different world and different from the history that Chu Zhuang was familiar with, his literary quality did not decrease.

Chu Zhuang didn't have the confidence to let him be the number one scholar in high school, but he still has the confidence to be admitted to Juren after a good preparation!

Seeing Chu Zhuang nodding, Bai Jingting's eyes became brighter, he took a step forward, held Chu Zhuang's hand, and said earnestly: "Zhuang Er, it is your luck that you can get the advice of the old god, you Be sure to cherish it!"

"Uncle, I know, I will cherish the old god's love for me!" Chu Zhuang said seriously.

Bai Jingting nodded slightly, looked at Chu Zhuang and reminded: "Zhuanger, restaurants are the way of merchants after all, they are inferior to others, and only imperial examinations are the foundation of your standing in the world. Don't lose the big because of small things!"

Chu Zhuang was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly realized that he was no longer in that modern enlightened and free world, but came to this ancient society with distinct classes.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and social classes are distinct.

Even if Chu Zhuang mastered the secret recipes such as hot pot, so what, if he has no status, these things will be moons in the water and flowers in the mirror after all.

If someone with power takes a fancy to it, in the end, all this will be in vain.

Chu Zhuang opened the window, and the cold wind outside the window came in, and Chu Zhuang gradually calmed down.

"Uncle, I understand, I will prepare for the imperial examination."

Chu Zhuang's eyes gradually became firm. In order to protect the person he wants to protect, he must first become stronger himself!

Looking at Chu Zhuang, Bai Jingting finally showed a gratified smile. The former Chu Zhuang was always full of childishness, but after this accident and the teaching of the old god, he grew up overnight.

Although the boy's back is thin, he can stand upright!

……

At the fourth watch, the sky was still dark, and there were already figures on Anping Street, and it gradually became lively.

Zuixianlou and Yipinju are located on both sides of the intersection of Anping Street.

Here Yipinju has opened its doors and is ready to make preparations before opening, but the door of Zuixianlou is still closed.

This is the third day that Zuixian Tower has been closed.

Pang Shan stood at the door with a bulging belly and looked at the Zuixian Tower opposite, with a flash of pride and pleasure in his eyes.

So what about the No. [-] restaurant in Ming County, isn't it being shut down by them now? !

Bai Jingting led the people down from the carriage, looked at the plaque of Zuixian Tower, and there was a flash of determination and excitement in his eyes.

After several days of adjustments, Zuixianlou finally ushered in a new opening day!

I believe that after today, Zuixianlou will return to its position as the boss of the restaurant, and even improve to a higher level!

When Pang Shan saw Bai Jingting, he raised his eyebrows, sneered, and swaggered over with splayed steps.

"Yo yo, isn't this exactly Master Bai?!"

Pang Shan looked at Bai Jingting's lips and greeted Bai Jingting provocatively.

Seeing Pang Shan snorted coldly, Bai Jingting didn't bother to talk to such despicable people, turned his head and told Bai Dali directly: "Dali, move the things in."

"Yes, sir!"

Bai Dali deliberately walked past Pang Shan, slammed his shoulder hard and said, "Excuse me, excuse me, good dogs don't get in the way!"

"You!" Pang Shanqi's face flushed red, he pointed at Bai Dali and wanted to scold him, but he didn't know what to scold.

After all, if he admits it, doesn't it mean that he is the dog blocking the way?

When Chu Zhuang opened the curtain of the car, he saw Pang Shan's face that didn't need to be whipped. He frowned slightly, ignored him, and turned around to help Yunmengxi get off the carriage.

Today is the grand opening of Zuixian Tower, so they will naturally be there.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Pang Shan was not discouraged, and laughed instead, and his arrogance became even more arrogant.

"Master Bai, although this restaurant of yours is shabby, it is a bit shabby, but who makes me a good person? Please, I bought it out of good intentions. Maybe it will become a second Yipinju!"

After finishing speaking, Pang Shan laughed out loud to himself.

Bai Jingting looked at Pang Shan speechlessly. If there was no hot pot proposed by Chu Zhuang, he would definitely feel pain in his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys when he heard Pang Shan's words.

But right now, Bai Jingting snorted coldly, leaving Pang Shan with a haughty back, and led people directly into the restaurant.

Chu Zhuang and Yunmengxi looked at each other, they understood, smiled, and followed behind Bai Jingting hand in hand.

Pang Shan looked at the backs of these people and frowned, always feeling that something was wrong, as if it was beyond his expectation.

According to his plan, shouldn't Bai Jingting and his gang cry at this time?

Why are everyone so calm?

"Could it be that you're going to smash the pot?" Pang Shan's mung bean-sized eyeballs rolled around, and he didn't know what bad idea he was planning.

Seeing the gate of Zuixianlou close again, Pang Shan flicked his sleeves, turned and walked into Yipinju.

The Zuixian Building was bustling with activity.

“The tables and chairs have to be wiped clean!”

"Is the iron pot ready?"

"All kinds of meat should be prepared separately, and the taste cannot be skewered."

……

Xiao Er put on the work uniform specially ordered by Chu Zhuang, looking neat and energetic, especially energetic.

Coupled with the smiles on their faces specially trained by Chu Zhuang, they couldn't help but feel good about them.

Chu Zhuang took Yunmengxi around all over the place, although there were many things that were different from what Chu Zhuang imagined.

For example, the hot pot ended up using an iron pot. Because of the copper restriction order, beef was deleted from the menu, because the slaughter of cattle is prohibited, and so on.

But this is more in line with the actual situation in Vietnam.

"Master, young master, everything is ready, we can open for business!"

Liang Mu put the bottom material that had been boiled in advance in the mansion on the stove, and then came to report.

Bai Jingting smelled the fragrance slowly coming from the kitchen, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and said loudly: "Ready to open for business!"

"squeak~"

Accompanied by the sound of a wooden door, the door of Zuixianlou slowly opened, ushering in the first rays of sunshine.

"Hey, the Zuixian Tower is open?"

"Isn't this chef already gone? Why is it still open?"

"That's right, I just ate Zuixianlou's signature dish in Yipinju yesterday, and the taste is exactly the same as Zuixianlou's!"

……

Zuixianlou is the largest restaurant in Ming County, so there are not a few people who know about it, and everyone has heard about the recent events.

Originally thought that the Zuixian Building was closing because it was going to close down, but didn't expect it to reopen now?

Everyone immediately gathered around and began to gossip.

"Boss Pang, Boss Pang, Zuixianlou, it's opened!" Seeing that the gate of Zuixianlou was reopened and opened for business, Xiao Er rushed in to report to Pang Shan.

"what?"

Pang Shan showed a surprised look. Although he did meet Bai Jingting in the morning meeting, he didn't think that the other party came to open the business!

"Call Lin Wei over here!"

Pang Shan thought of seeing Bai Jingting's calm and composed appearance today, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, and ordered.

"Master Pang, did you call me?" Lin Wei asked with a flattering smile.

"Are you sure that Bai Jingting has taught you all the recipes?" Pang Shan looked at Lin Wei and asked.

"I'm sure. I've been working in Zuixianlou for more than ten years. It's impossible for Bai Jingting to hide a formula for more than ten years?" Lin Wei said with certainty.

Only then did Pang Shan nod his head reassuringly, looked towards the direction of Zuixianlou and murmured: "Just because of the dishes of Zuixianlou, you want to fight me, it's beyond self-control!"

"Master Pang, don't worry, even if Liang Mu's elm lump has learned Bai Jingting's dishes, his cooking skills are not as good as mine, and he is a novice now, so he is definitely not as good as ours!"

Lin Wei said solemnly.

Pang Shan showed a smile, patted Lin Wei on the shoulder, and said, "That's right, work hard, and I'll let the chef teach you some new dishes then!"

"Yes, master!" Lin Wei was overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed excitedly.
