July is hot, dry and dry.
Lanyuexuan also began to think of ways to deal with the scorching heat. If he could not find a way to deal with it, the passenger flow would naturally decrease a lot. Therefore, under the plan of the shopkeeper, Lanyuexuan's cold dish series came into being. This is a combination of several It is based on the experience of a chef and the creativity of shopkeeper Xue. It is mainly based on the dishes for relieving heat, coupled with melon, fruit and mung bean soup. The advertising term is "cool through the heart, bright through the heart", which has been well received by customers. .
Xue Poye knew in his heart that a well-established restaurant must have a dish plan that responds to the changes of the seasons. In summer, cold dishes can be served, and even ice cubes can be purchased to chill drinks. series on the dinner table.
It is lucky to say that, although it is hot in summer, because Lan Yue Xuan is located in a remote place, there are no houses in the front and back, the ventilation effect is excellent, and the summer breeze is precious, which is rare to enjoy in the city, but in Lan Yue Xuan With this kind of pleasant breeze blowing from time to time, coupled with Lanyuexuan's timely cold dishes, the business is still booming.
The business is good, and the benefits are naturally good. Xue Poye will not treat these people badly. In addition to wages, everyone has received extra rewards. Refreshing work clothes, everyone is grateful and motivated, and Hu San and others are also working hard to wait in the hall. Everyone knows that it is not easy to find such a job, and it is even more difficult to meet such a shopkeeper. Everyone will hold Yuexuan Treat it as an integral part of yourself, just like what the shopkeeper said: "Only if you put Lanyuexuan in your heart, can Lanyuexuan remember you in your heart!"
The interior of Lanyuexuan was harmonious, and Xue Poye also took the time to read the "Four Books" and "Five Classics".
Mingxu is very honest, after Xue Poye ordered, he really set up a stall beside Lanyuexuan, with a parasol for shade, and a banner of "Miaoshouhuichun" stood beside him, Mingxu covered his hands, half Squinting, just sitting under the parasol.
There are not many people who seek medical treatment from him, poor people don’t have much money, and some rely on local doctors for medical treatment, but the guests who come and go to Lanyuexuan can’t say that all of them are wealthy, but most of them are well-off and sick. I would go to the medical clinic to find a serious doctor, and this kind of local doctor who walks around the streets tends to look down on him, but Mingxu really looks like a local doctor who sells dog skin plaster, and with that dull face, Not many people believed that he really had any medical skills, so when they passed by, they all laughed. In other words, Ming Xu's business was in a mess.
Of course Mingxu doesn't care, the rudder master has already said that even if he earns money, he still has to pay it back, so it doesn't matter how much he earns or how little he earns.
The most exciting time for Mingxu every day is when Lao Song summons him to eat, so he can go up to the third floor, share a room with the lord master, and eat some hearty delicacies. Xue Poye is very loyal in this regard. If you have a stomach, you can eat as much as you want.
"Do you know the news about Chrysanthemum Boy?" Xue Poye leaned on the chair, with his legs on the desk, holding a copy of "Shangshu" with one hand, and looked at it boredly.
Chrysanthemum boy Duan Kezhang has been tracking Lao Tan's team for many days, but there is still no news back. As Qinglianzhao's sub-ruler, Xue Poye can't worry about his responsibilities.
Mingxu stuffed a piece of mushroom into his mouth, and then said vaguely: "No... no, but I have sent someone to hunt... inquire...!"
Xue Poye frowned. According to common sense, Duan Kezhang and others dared not accomplish anything, and should report back. According to the calculation of days, Lao Tan had already arrived in the capital. Why has there been no news until now? whats the matter.
Seeing Ming Xu slowly enjoying the delicacies on the table, Xue Poye couldn't help but said: "Grandma, you don't earn a penny every day, but you eat several taels of silver from me. If you continue like this, You should take care of this meal yourself."
Mingxu said aggrievedly: "It's not that the subordinates don't try their best, it's really... Hey, Master, I'm afraid that there are too few people who are sick, and the subordinates can't show their skills."
Xue Poye scolded: "You are talking nonsense. There is no one who is sick in any generation, day or night. You are like a dead person there, and you don't know how to shout. Who knows if you are really capable or fake? You You can not charge money, cure two patients, and spread your reputation, then the business will naturally come to you. If you say you are an idiot, you still don’t believe it.”
Mingxu was scolded without saying a word, and after a long time he said: "Practice medicine and shout?"
Xue Poye rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
The most talked about in the restaurant in the past two days is of course the college exam. Many of them are scholars who are going to take the exam. In the western suburbs of Hangzhou, test sheds have already been built there.
For the literary circles in Hangzhou, this is an extremely important event. It is said that even the greedy new Governor He Ruhui attaches great importance to it.
If the college examination goes well this time and many talented students are selected, then it will be regarded as the face of Hangzhou, and the face of He Ruhui will naturally be much better.
Although Xiaolingxian had less fun after the children went to school, she became interested in pastry making while walking around in the back kitchen, and even gave Xue Poye the high point made by herself to taste. Congratulations on the scalp, you can't hit other people's little girls, right
Seeing that the day after tomorrow is the time for the college examination, Xue Poye received an invitation from He Ruhui at dusk to go to have a gathering.
"My lord asked the younger one to invite me. I just said that everything depends on whether the shopkeeper Xue is free. If you are free, the younger one will take you there." The one who came to invite the younger one was Huang Laosi. Xue Poye met Mrs. Wang that day when Mrs. Wang was humiliated. Come to think of it, Huang Lao Si can be regarded as He Ruhui's confidant, even the clothes on his body are new, it seems that he has been promoted.
Getting entangled with He Ru would be something that Xue Poye had thought of a long time ago. Since Lao Tan left a message, even if he didn't find him, he would find him. Now it seems that the prediction is not bad. , but unexpectedly came so soon.
He Ruhui even sent a luxurious carriage to greet him, but Xue Poye refused with a smile, but went with him on his own golden lion. OK.
"Is Mr. He waiting in the government office?" Xue Poye asked.
Huang Laosi hurriedly said: "No, no, he is living drunk!"
"It's a good name for this restaurant." Xue Poye smiled and praised: "It's so pleasant to swim drunk!" It seems that He Ruhui wants to talk at the wine table, Xue Poye looks at the sky and slightly reveals the corner of the moon , Yin said: "Life must be happy to the fullest, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon!"
Seeing Xue Poye's emotions, Huang Laosi couldn't help but said: "Master Xue, then... that Zuiyouju is not a restaurant."
Xue Poye was taken aback, frowned and said, "Isn't it a restaurant?"
"It's a kiln!" Huang Laosi said directly.
Xue Poye was sweating profusely, my god, the magistrate invited me to the kiln to have a reunion, this Confucian Society really has no scruples.
Seeing Xue Poye's astonishment, Huang Laosi simply said: "In addition to the magistrate, the admiral Xuezheng is also waiting in Zuiyouju!"
Xue Poye was not surprised this time, but showed a look of admiration, Mr. He was really crazy, even the admiral Xuezheng was brought into the brothel by him.
Admiral Xuezheng is the highest official who presides over the college examination. He is appointed by the imperial court. He is usually a Beijing official with a background in the Hanlin Academy or Jinshi. Every time the college exam comes, he will come down from Kyoto, bring several examiners, and then talk to the local people. The examiners from all over the world are fused together to jointly supervise the college entrance examination.
Now that He Ruihui and Master Xuezheng are both in the kiln, and they invited him to meet in the past, Xue Poye guessed with his butt and knew that it was about his own hospital examination, and the things that Lao Tan confessed, these two people probably didn't have the courage to disobey , and this matter is also a matter of little effort for them, and if they do it well, both of them will have a good explanation to Tan Ziqing.
"Officials... Hey... Officials...!" Although he hadn't stepped into the officialdom, Xue Poye already had some emotions.
But since these two guys wanted to help him, Xue Po Yele's Xiaoyao was still worrying about how to deal with the ancient exams.
Although he didn't pay much attention to the status of this student before, under the influence of the words of the customers in the restaurant, Xue Poye gradually understood how honorable it is to have a fame in this era, not only has the special characteristic of not worshiping an official Courtesy, and highly respected by the world, even in doing things, it is much smoother than ordinary people, at least the government always takes care of people with fame, who the hell knows if today's sour scholar will become The prime minister of the country who has power for a while.
Not having fame in this era is equivalent to not having a degree in future generations. This is something Xue Poye doesn't want to accept. After all, he is also a top-notch talent in future generations. How can he be a white man in this era
Therefore, Tan Ziqing's blessing is of secondary importance now, and Xue Poye himself wants to make a name for himself.
