On the fourth day of opening, the prices of all kinds of braised vegetables in the braised vegetables shop returned to their original prices. After several days of free tasting and half-price sales activities, the reputation of Yuji Braised Vegetables Restaurant has been completely established.
Fragrant roasted chicken, smoked chicken with crispy skin and tender meat, fragrant but not greasy roast duck, white and tender salted duck, fragrant and delicious smoked sausage, and long-scented and rich-colored stewed chicken Meat... The most popular is the fragrant, glutinous and mellow stewed pork head meat!
Yuji Braised Vegetables has rich and delicious dishes. If Zhenxiulou is a gourmet paradise that rich people yearn for, then "Yuji Braised Vegetables Restaurant" is the leader in cheap delicacies. A middle-class family in Fucheng will go to the stewed vegetable shop every few days to pack the same stewed meat for tooth sacrifice. It is ordinary people who are shy in their pockets, when they have guests at home or during festivals, they will grit their teeth and buy some stewed vegetables to save face. Even the top families in Fucheng will send their servants to smear and line up to buy Yu Ji's limited-edition products.
Yuji's roast duck, roast chicken and salted duck are definitely not inferior to Zhenxiu Restaurant, and the price is also cheap. Yuji's smoked chicken, duck, rabbit, etc. have a unique taste, which can't be tasted even at Zhenxiu Restaurant. Unfortunately, these are limited sales, only 10 pieces of each item are sold each day, and reservations are not accepted, first come first served.
Those rich people who claim to be gourmets, of course, will not miss these delicacies, so they send their servants to queue up in the middle of the night, and they must buy one to go back to satisfy their cravings. In a small town like Tanggu, there is no shortage of rich families, let alone a place as big as Fucheng
The number of limited dishes is limited, there are many families with good money in Fucheng, and there are more monks and less meat. As a result, the people who lined up in front of Yuji's gate all night appeared earlier and earlier, and some even brought quilts to the restaurant as soon as it got dark. Yu Ji, who was closed, was staring at the door. These people have become a beautiful scenery in front of Yu Ji's gate, even in rainy and snowy days, it never stops.
Those children of aristocratic families who think that eating pork is vulgar and not on the table will secretly send some shameless servants to queue in front of Yu Ji's gate after they taste Yu Ji's braised pork by chance, and when they buy limited dishes, they will bring some braised pork with them. Stewed meat, braised pig's trotters, braised pig's head and other stewed vegetables come back and eat secretly behind closed doors.
One pig a day for Yu Jiaguang's stewed meat is not enough to sell, and two pigs a day around the Mid-Autumn Festival are sold out before evening. The more than 100 pigs in Yu's pig farm are estimated to be almost out of stock by the end of the year. Liu Hu took his eldest son to order and purchase live pigs in villages and towns that had not been hit by the disaster. Their prices are reasonable and they are expected to cooperate for a long time. Many people are willing to sell pigs to them.
The weather gradually cooled down, and the Yu family was busy, and before they knew it, it was the day when the exams were released. After Xiaoshitou finished his college entrance examination, he caught up with the opening of his stewed vegetables shop and came to help for a while. After the sales of the shop stabilized, Xiaocao drove him back to the academy to continue his study career. To be a scholar in the exam is not the ultimate goal of Xiao Shitou, his goal is to show off his talents in the general examination and palace examination!
After the results of the court examination are released, special personnel will go to each township to notify, and then people from the local county government will go to every household to announce the good news. Tanggu Town has selected thirteen talents in this academy examination, among them, Dongshan Village has selected two, one is Qian Wen and the other is Yu Kai! Xiaocao's uncle failed Sun Shan in the second round of the college examination, but he still failed to pass the examination as a scholar as Zhang had hoped.
Before and after the release of the list, only the aunt's family was left in the stewed vegetable shop, and Yu Hai and Xiaocao went back to Dongshan Village to wait for the news. Although before returning, the prefect had sent someone to secretly reveal the news that Xiao Shitou had passed the exam, but the family still waited anxiously for the day when the results were announced.
The person who came to announce the good news was the head catcher of the county government office. Normally, ordinary government servants would be enough for such an errand, but Yu's family members were among those who passed the exam. Who is the Yu family? That is a person who can speak in front of the king of Yangjun, the lord of the ancient Tang Dynasty. Even if he is born with mud legs, the county magistrate will be courteous to him.
In addition to his superior ability, Yue Butou can still sit firmly in the top spot after Wu County Magistrate left. It has a lot to do with his tactful personality and ability to do things. He volunteered to accept the news that he had come to Dongshan Village to announce the good news. As soon as he entered the village, half a boy stopped him and asked for the news.
Knowing that Shitou, the eight-year-old youngest son of Yu's family, has passed the examination as a scholar, a group of boys ran to Yu's house as if they were the first to announce the good news.
In recent years, the Yu family has become more and more prosperous. They opened a pig farm this year, and they don't know what to feed. I heard that the Yu family's stewed vegetable shop is doing very well in Fucheng. From the fact that five or six pigs are slaughtered and sent there every other day, one can imagine how popular the sales are. Even Liu Shuanzhu's family, who had a good relationship with Yu Hai, got rich, and the chickens he raised were not worried about selling, and the price he gave was no lower than that of Zhenxiu Restaurant.
The Yu family is not the kind of searcher, and they will definitely not be stingy to those who announce the good news!
While the Yu family was looking forward to it, Li Xiaogui, the eldest son of Li Yangfan's family in the village, ran into the yard of Yu's house panting, and before he could catch his breath, he opened his voice and shouted: "Uncle Dahai, Xiaoshi passed the exam! Xiaoshi passed the exam!" Shitou has passed the examination as a scholar!!"
When old Yu heard it, he burst into tears: "Bless the ancestors, the descendants of the Yu family have finally achieved success." Shitou Xu was only nine years old, he passed the examination of scholar, and he is studying in the most famous academy in the town, his future will definitely not stop here! The Yu family, who had been born with mud legs for several lifetimes, finally produced a scholar! !
Liushi and Xiaolian hugged each other tightly, weeping uncontrollably. They were all rejoicing that the family separated at that time, otherwise it would have been impossible to pay for Xiao Shitou to study because of Zhang's stingy temper, so how can he talk about being a scholar
Yu Hai was so excited that he didn't know what to do, he rubbed his hands and smirked aside. It took only a while, and the yard of Yu's family was already crowded with fellow villagers who came to congratulate him. After being agitated for a while, Yu Hang tried to calm down, and took out melon seeds and peanut candies to treat the people who came to congratulate him.
Yu Xiaocao took out a small purse, which contained one or two silver lockets, put it into Li Xiaogui's hands, and expressed her gratitude to him. When they left the Yu's house, those half-children who were only one step behind Li Xiaogui, seeing the light purse, asked him to open it sourly to see how much money the Yu's family had given. In their opinion, how many copper plates can be contained in a flat purse? Is it worth it to fight desperately for these few dollars
When Li Xiaogui took out a shiny silver peanut-shaped silver clasp from his purse, these boys became restless. silver! The good news money given by the Yu family was actually silver! ! One tael of silver is a thousand copper plates! ! Half-children hate only their parents for giving them a pair of short legs, so that Tao boy Li Xiaogui ran to the front! ! All of a sudden envy, jealousy and hatred, all kinds of emotions are mixed.
At this time, Yue Butou had dismounted in front of Yu's house. Gradually calming down from his excitement, Yu Hai greeted him and invited Butou Yue in for tea. Yue Butou laughed boldly and said: "Mr. Yue asked me to call you Brother Dahai! Brother Dahai, congratulations to you, you have raised a good son, a scholar who passed the exam at a young age, and was ranked among the first Wait, you have become the youngest grannie in Tanggu Town!"
The granary students, also known as the granary students, were the top students in the college examinations, and there were only about 30 students in the whole prefecture. After getting the linsheng, you can get six dou of lin rice every month, and four taels of lin silver every year. If it is a poor family, these subsidies for the granary birth are enough to keep the family from starving.
Although these insignificant subsidies are nothing to the Yu family. However, "Linsheng" is an honor for them, an honor that the whole family can be proud of.
The Yu family saw off one wave of congratulatory people and ushered in another wave, which continued until the evening. At noon, the Yu family prepared a sumptuous lunch, entertained Butou Yue, and stuffed him with a bulging purse, which contained a full ten taels of silver. Yue Butou originally wanted to make friends with the Yu family, but he didn't expect this trip to make him a small fortune.
The Qian family not far away is also very lively today. It is unique in Dongshan Village that a village has won two scholar exams at once. The last time the person who announced the good news was eighteen years ago when the youngest son of the village chief's family passed the examination as a scholar. He was the first scholar in Dongshan Village's history. In the past, people in the village were considered lucky if they didn’t starve to death. How could there be any spare money for scholars? Now, with a double hit, two scholars came out, and the whole Dongshan Village felt that their faces were radiant, enough for them to talk about it for a long time.
Some families are happy and some are sad. When the old Yutou is happy from ear to ear under the compliments of a group of old guys, Zhang's side is gloomy.
Mrs. Zhao didn't think much of it. Her father also took the exam several times at that time, and he didn't pass the exam until he was almost forty. In the disaster year last year, Xianggong's school had a long vacation, and the home is not an environment for studying, so the delay is understandable. If you fail the exam this year, just continue the exam in two years! Zhao's soft comforting voice cheered up the disheartened Yu Bo, picked up the book and studied hard.
Zhang's mood was extremely gloomy. Her son had studied for more than ten years, and he was not as good as Xiao Shitou, who had only attended school for more than two years. This made her obsession slightly shaken. At the beginning, the fortune teller said that the Yu family could produce a high-ranking official. At that time, only her old son was studying in the family. She took it for granted that her son would be destined to be an official. Now it seems that may not be the case!
A sense of unwillingness rose in Zhang's heart. She could see how hard her old son was studying, especially in the past six months. Almost didn't hold on.
What's the point of that bastard, Little Stone? Every time Xiu Mu came back, he followed that dead girl Xiaocao to run wildly all over the mountains and plains, catching fish and rabbits, and there was no time for him to be safe. God is not open, why did he pass the exam, but her old son didn't? Could it be that both of them have the surname Yu, and the judge made a mistake? Or... that brat blocked her old son's official career
