[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

At the beginning of the second spring session, everyone had already adapted to the rhythm, and their postures were more relaxed when queuing up at the door for inspection.

Xia Anran noticed sensitively that many of the students who took the test basket this time had satisfied smiles on their faces.

Ok?

He blinked, and when the patrol inspected the luggage, he saw many familiar packages.

The yamen servant had a slightly strange expression.Logically, this kind of jar should also be opened for inspection, but it is the food of candidates after all, and it is sauce, so it is easy to pour it out and stuff it back.

Xia Anran was the only one before, so it was easier to search, but this time there are so many people.

What can I do, I can only check the bottles and cans one by one with chopsticks.

The aroma of the sauce rushed straight to the nose with the stirring.

It smells good.

Really delicious!

The yamen servants who came to work after eating obviously couldn't help sniffing, their eyes were particularly resentful.

Miso, no matter how it is made, how it tastes and smells, is very powerful.

The inspection time this time was a lot slower than the first exam, but everyone expressed their understanding that it was not easy for the yamen servant brothers.

The students whose sauce bottles were inspected all had "I understand you" expressions, and the candidates who didn't catch up with the fashion belt and were still ordinary steamed buns looked extremely depressed when they were inspected.

They can already imagine the scene when the meal is served today...

What can I do, I can only try to write more before the meal, so as to avoid being influenced by them!

The old gourmet with scallion steamed buns in the first test naturally followed the fashion and went to Xue's shop to buy several bottles of miso.He was worried about the same as Xia Anran, afraid of accidents during the exam, so he chose sweet sauce.

Yes, they classified these two sauces by themselves. One is called sweet sauce and the other is called salty sauce. Two-flavored sauce, after all, this is something that anyone can make. You can buy the ingredients and cook it at home. Xue’s shop does not sell sweet noodle sauce and bean paste, but everyone said that if there is a student, it is you. It's sold at home, I don't care, I will buy that one!

Reluctantly, Xue Ling found Xia Anran. Of course he knew that it was Xia Anran who did the promotion. This time he participated in Chunwei and had a relationship with the Xue family, and after Xia Anran made the sauce, he also had a part in it. to some.

Xia Anran was surprised when he heard that everyone was looking for him, and then quickly mobilized the workers of the Xue family to stir up the sauce.

The recipes of these two sauces are very simple and easy to be learned by others. The Xue family didn't plan to keep it private, so they wrote the recipes and posted them at the door when they were selling them. Rice, so Xue's family provides fried miso, the price is very cheap, and by the way, I also recommended other family's bean paste and sweet noodle sauce.

——This kind of favor can make a big fortune!Not to mention that they bluntly used raw materials from other families, let’s just say that the Xue family actually posted all the recipes and materials. This kind of mind is not unreasonable. I have seen the recipe hidden in these years, but I have never seen it before. published.

In addition, even if there is a prescription, it will not take a moment to figure out the timing. The second spring is about to start, and everyone can't afford to wait. The Xue family directly sells the second sauce, which can be said to be urgent.

Who are they selling?They are all students who participated in Chunwei.

The students who can participate in Chunwei are all the top scholars in the country. Now that the scholars heard that the Xue family had done this, they all said that the Xue family really deserves to be the Ziwei Sheren of the royal imperial seal, the imperial merchant, this kind of bearing is really true excellent.

Scholars would kill people if they scolded them, and they would kill them if they praised them. In a few minutes, they wrote a bunch of small essays and pasted them on the wall of Xue's shop to express their praise.

They either come to buy by themselves or send people to buy. There are also some hotels where students live, and the hotel owners are invited to buy together.

Such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of the people.

Although Xue's shop is located in a residential area, it is also a relatively affluent residential area. The people living here can afford meat and read books. Seeing so many scholars come to buy sauce, they follow suit.

Although many people have learned how to go back, they always feel that what the Xue family makes is a little different from their own. To put it bluntly, the Xue family is willing to release information. The price is actually not much different from the Xue family's selling price, and I feel that the Xue family is extremely conscientious.

At this time, the description of a businessman is mostly friendly. At this time, there is no business without profiteering, and the sharp characters are added to explain it. That is to say, if a businessman wants to do a good job and become bigger, he still needs to rely on small gifts. and credit.

To be honest, Xue Ling didn't intend to sell this miso sauce at first. This thing is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the profit is low. Naturally, it is not as easy as selling raw materials directly. Moreover, the people who sell food and seasonings are different. Originally friendly The buyer may not be able to smile at the business grabber.

This attitude can be seen from his unwillingness to name the two sauces salty sauce and sweet sauce.

Unexpectedly, under the soaring popularity, the profits are also accumulating.

It'd be a pity if it wasn't for sale.

Xue Ling turned his head very witty, and posted another big-character poster at the door, on which he wrote the Xue family's flattered mood, and then said that this miso is indeed more suitable for students to eat during exams. Considering that many students are not It is inconvenient for the locals to cook, so Xue’s family will make salty and sweet sauces for sale every spring, every three years.

Now that there is a gimmick, the friends and merchants will not be offended, and they have sold Guangda students a favor.

When Xia Anran learned about this after the second exam, he could only lament how powerful this brother of the Xue family was - compared to him, Xue Pan, the authentic son of the imperial merchant, was too much!weak!Well, no, not necessarily, this person's luck is still very good!

After all, luck is also part of strength.

Of course, Xia Anran doesn't know this yet, he is still troubled by the aggressive smell of sauce that lingers in his nose at noon.

For three whole days...

Every meal, he always smells this sauce, and each person has different tastes. At this moment, some are salty sauce, some are sweet sauce.

The sweet and salty parties have been fighting since ancient times. Xia Anran knew that they were fighting over tofu, rice dumplings, glutinous rice balls and moon cakes, but she really didn't expect to fight over smell!Putting the two flavors together, it seemed like they were about to fight. The originally soft flavor suddenly became violent and extremely aggressive.

Xia Anran, who has been destroying others' sense of smell since time travelling, was unexpectedly destroyed by others' sense of smell this time.

...This is very unpleasant!

Xia Anran puffed up her cheeks silently, but it was really difficult to say anything. After all, wasn't it his own fault?

He could only turn grief and anger into motivation, and against this smell, he actually felt that his writing was like a spring, rushing down, and the articles he wrote later found that he had reached the pinnacle of his life, and there was nothing he could change.

So on the first day, he had already laid the groundwork... After that, he had nothing to do after that.

On the second day, Xia Anran, who had completed the task ahead of schedule, thought about it and decided to save her nose.

So during this exam, the students who were waiting for the hot meal smelled a unique smell again.

The smell of meat is very obvious, but there is a hint of sourness in the smell of meat. The sourness is extremely soft, but it is so hard that it breaks out of the salty and fresh spicy sauce and the mellow sweet sauce.

Obviously, the stove behind him was heating up the sauce that he thought was very delicious recently, but all the examinees felt the faint sour smell... Really, really too tempting!

Obviously, he was originally in the battle between sweet and salty, but a brand new force emerged out of thin air. He was dressed in green clothes, as gentle as a scholar, and as nimble as a bamboo leaf. The sword was all counted at the moment, and then fell between the two, Tian and Xian were forced by the situation, so they had to separate and stand aside.

Then the three of them competed with each other, the sword moved according to the heart, the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword, the clothes fluttered, and they were evenly matched.

They fought with all their heart, but the bystanders... felt their stomachs beating like drums.

Who is it!

Who released these ferocious beasts?

The students brought the meal to the table with angry expressions.

Xia Anran was the one who released this beast. He was so satisfied that he put fried pork with capers and beans on the rice and stuffed it into his mouth with delight.

Fortunately, he made sour cowpea in advance to prevent himself from being too nervous and losing his appetite during the exam, hehehe.

So after the second exam, he was blocked at the gate of the Gongyuan by his classmates again.

In the comments of later generations, the candidates of this class were unexpectedly the most united class among all the students. They supported each other and trusted each other, and jointly pushed the present into a prosperous age.Probably the reason is that... when they were still taking the exam, they had a common "enemy", and through the strength of unity, they got spoils from the "enemy" time and time again, thus ending when everyone was still innocent. Let's have a deep comrade-in-arms.

...Xia Anran didn't feel this friendship in battle.

The opening of the third exam was in the spotlight.

Gein's exam this time is when the policy exam questions are more mature.

In the previous Chunwei policy discussion, the questioner was not good at formulating the questions, and the answerers were not good at solving the questions, so the answers came out all kinds of strange things.

And this year's candidates all broke through the siege with strategy theory, and their answer sheets are what everyone is most looking forward to.

Xia Anran opened the test paper after the bell rang.

I'm going to make a question myself today.

The topic is: What to do when the treasury has no money.

Of course it's not that straightforward, this is what Xia Anran summed up.

In fact, Jinshang is also a hard-working child. The Emperor Taishang got sick back then, and felt that the emperor’s hard work was not enough.

Today, he is also a filial person. He is close to the Supreme Emperor in everything, offering delicious food, drink and medicine, and the Supreme Emperor unexpectedly slowed down.

It was an extremely embarrassing thing to have two monarchs in one country. As a result, the father and son were filial to each other, which made the matter complete.

But the problem of lack of money has become a knife on Jinshang's head.

Because the current dynasty and the previous dynasty did not have the concept of the emperor, so when they arranged the treatment for the emperor, they arranged it according to the treatment that was higher than that of the emperor.

In addition to the Taishanghuang, the Taishanghuang had a few good friends when he was young, and then the good friends died, leaving behind the family of the good friends. The Supreme Emperor is concerned that this is the family of the good friends, and they must not be cold. The heart, so quite connivance, this connivance condoned the accident.

They borrowed a large sum of money from the treasury and did not pay it back.

It's fine if you really don't have money, but they are thieves who have money but they just don't pay it back and continue to borrow.

The emperor said not to borrow, and the emperor said to borrow. The result of borrowing and borrowing is that the country has no money.

Question: What should the emperor say if he has no money?

In fact, the most standard answer is not: Let’s increase revenue and reduce expenditure, but——Let’s copy a house for fun?

However, Xia Anran didn't have the guts to give such a straightforward answer.

He feels that he is a well-behaved cat, no, man.

So he neatly wrote down on the paper, the word "open source".
