In the early morning, when the sun shines on the east side of the market, the car has already pushed down the fixed intersection. Nie Yunzhu and Hu Tao packed up some things, and then carried the baskets for delivery. She is still dressed in plain clothes and a headscarf, and she seems to be dressed like most women and village girls, but even her figure alone can't hide her former extraordinary temperament. Her graceful and graceful face.
Yesterday, I delivered the first preserved egg to Chunyi Restaurant. It was a start. Today, she is still there. According to Ning Yi's plan, she put several different ingredients in beautiful small porcelain bottles, and then prepared the porcelain. Plate, after delivery, take a preserved egg and cut it into four pieces, take four small plates, pour a little sauce on each plate, and show different styles. The preserved eggs are sold well after they are cut open. With red, black, and white sauces, the visual impact is definitely enough. Even if the restaurant did not display the most conspicuous place, yesterday zero Total Zero also sold more than ten pieces.
This kind of progress caught Nie Yunzhu by surprise, but if there was a second one, the plan of 30 preserved eggs a day would have been basically completed.
In the same morning light, just as she was carrying a basket across the street to Chunyi Building, Li Pin was walking out of the alley and stopped for a while. Then I went to the Sihai Restaurant on the other side of the street. A friend had already arrived and was waiting for him there: "Brother Xie came early... Where's Zishan?"
"Zishan didn't come with me today, he said he saw a good friend last night and will come with him later."
"So good."
Everything is developing as usual, and Li Pin's appeal is not a problem. For the past three or four days, I have found some friends who usually dine in different restaurants nearby, and asked them to help Xiao Er buy a Songhua egg when the restaurant was busy. It's just a little effort. Since Ning Yi said a few people that day, he didn't know too many people. These friends are also relatively secretive, and there is no problem with casual performances. Yesterday, I heard that Chunyilou has already put the pine flower egg. Putting it up, it can be regarded as a preliminary result.
Li Pin was curious about Ning Yi's talent, but as for Songhuadan, he didn't take it too seriously. At this time, I met this friend named Xie Jiang, had a chat, and went upstairs. After waiting for a while, another friend who had made an appointment also arrived. This person's name is Shen Miao, the word is Zishan, and he is also a well-known talent in Jiangning. There is another person with him. At the age of more than 10 years, he has a very stable temperament. As soon as he entered the door, he made a bow with Li Pin and Xie Jiang.
"Dexin and Xishen, long time no see."
"Yan Zhen!"
Li Pin stood up in surprise, this person was actually an old acquaintance with them. Originally in Jiangning, this was a figure on a par with Li Pin and Cao Guan. Gu Hong and Gu Yanzhen have been in Beijing for three years. It is said that they will try high school. Since then, they have been active in Bianliang, looking for real shortages through various paths, but they did not expect that they came back from there.
Everyone was overjoyed for a while.
"What day did it arrive? It wasn't the first time to contact me and wait. This account is recorded."
"Today, we should hold a banquet in the Golden Wind Tower to catch the wind and wash away the dust."
"Drinking fine!"
"I don't know if I have been to Tokyo for three years, what I have seen and heard, I have to talk about it carefully."
The four of them smiled and sat down at the table, while Gu Yanzhen talked with the others about trivial matters in the capital.
"Now in Tokyo and other places, the most talked about is the bad things between Liao and Jin in recent years. Since His Majesty appointed Li Xiang, military affairs have been rectified and military discipline has been serious, and now the court is full of excitement. If the guess is correct, at least Three to five months, or even a year and a half, the imperial court will definitely seize the opportunity to form an alliance with the Jin Kingdom. It will take the country back to the state of depression since Tanyuan and recover the cloud, and the day can be expected!”
In the second half of last year, under the leadership of Wanyan Aguda, the state of Jin had a large-scale conflict with the state of Liao, and they raised troops to retake Youyun, and the fortune of the country has been the most frequently discussed topic of these warriors. Sixty years of Tanyuan, six years ago of black water, and a hundred years of oppression, now the opportunity has finally come. Since the current sage appointed Li Gang as prime minister, he has vigorously cleaned up military affairs. Now the situation has become clear, and everything seems to have been pressed on a string. superior. The future seems to be separated only by a veil-like window paper. Once you break it, you can see the army going out of Yanmen, straight to the secluded clouds, and restoring the old landscape of the Celestial Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the four of them talked, and their blood boiled again, and then Gu Yanzhen also talked about his harvest this time.
"... This time in Tokyo, I finally won the favor of Lord Qinsou, and I have to make up for the lack of 17th grade. Oh, Leping county magistrate of Raozhou, who will take office in July, there is still some time, so I will come back to Jiangning and talk to you guys. …”
In his mouth, the Lord Qinsou was Tang Ke Tang Qinsou, who was considered quite famous in the eyes of these scholars, so it was another inquiry, and he was envious, jealous, and joking about what he got. Just mentioned some elegant things. Gu Yanzhen was originally considered a romantic figure in Jiangning, and was favored by all kinds of beauties. After three years in Tokyo, naturally there would be no romantic affairs. Gu Yanzhen smiled and said some trivial and interesting things.
"Actually, reputation and talent are similar to Jiangning's. Most women in Tokyo are arrogant, and there are many scholars from all over the world. It's not easy to convince them. I've been in Tokyo for three years, and the most popular recently Among the girls, Li Shishi, I have only had a relationship with her once..."
The time passed in the words, and it was already the busiest time in the restaurant. Li Pin wondered if he should call Preserved Dan over, then Gu Yanzhen suddenly stopped, patted the table, and then said to the second shopkeeper, "Take four pine flowers. Eggs come."
Naturally, there was none in the store, and then Gu Yanzhen pointed out the place, and he was actually quite familiar with it. Li Pin was surprised, then Gu Yanzhen laughed and whispered: "Yesterday I was talking with Brother Mu Fang in Cuipinglou, and suddenly I saw that he was calling this Songhuadan very serious, and I asked next time that it was Dexin. Brother please keep it in your heart, huh... Is what I said wrong? I don't know what this Songhuadan has to do with Dexin."
Li Pin also laughed: "It doesn't matter, it's also a friend's request. It's a game move, but I can't deliberately promote it with their own reputation."
"Understood." Betting and joking, there are all kinds of things. Seeing that Li Pin said it was a game move, Gu Yanzhen didn't care anymore, and then he talked about Tokyo's style. When he was full, Li Pin and Gu Yanzhen chatted for a few words alone, and Li Pin just jokingly said: "When talking about those Tokyo women, Yan Zhen seemed a little hesitant. Could it be that he had eaten in Tokyo, at this time? It's hard to say."
Gu Yanzhen smiled, and then shook his head helplessly: "Dexin sees things clearly, there are indeed some things, but they have nothing to do with Tokyo... Uh, if there is a relationship... I don't know if Dexin has been to Jinfeng Tower in recent years. Is it?"
Li Pin shook his head: "I don't go to Jinfeng Tower very often. In retrospect, Yan Zhen did go there often. Oh, recently, Yuan Jin'er from Jinfeng Tower is quite close to Cao Guan, and Yan Zhen also knows that Cao Guan is my Lichuan. My mortal enemy, if I go, I'm afraid I'll have to close the door... Uh, what's the matter?"
"Before I went to Tokyo three years ago, there was a confidante who was in the Golden Wind Tower. When I entered the city a few days ago, I went to find her that night. Unfortunately... After three years, she is no longer in the Golden Wind Tower..." Gu Yanzhen tapped her finger. Knocking on the table, his expression was a little melancholy, "To be honest with Dexin, I have been romantic in the past, and I admit that I have seen many women, but this woman... makes me feel the most intimate, the quietest in my heart, and has a literary and elegant temperament. I remember when I said goodbye to her three years ago, what she said was: 'I wish you a title on the golden list, and a glorious return... ' This time, it is more or less a title on the golden list. Even if she refused, she should be redeemed for her..."
Li Pin thought for a while: "So, three years ago... Yuan Jin'er was Pan Shi before. Well, I heard that she was indeed redeemed and married..."
"How could it be Pan Shi?" Gu Yanzhen raised her eyebrows in disdain, "Pan Shi is a girl, but she is a vulgar person, so she is worthy of the following. The girl I am talking about is Yunzhu, she is always low-key, if she doesn't If you are willing to fight for fame, how can you get Pan Shi's head in the Golden Wind Tower... This matter can only be said to have no fate... "
"Yunzhu... This name seems to have been heard before..."
"If Dexin really saw her back then, he would naturally know that she is good. This woman's poetry and singing are all excellent, and what she thinks in her heart is completely different from those women who want to be the oiran and compete for fame. Although I don't know about her past, if I didn't have a rough life, how could I fall into the dust, I thought I could help her, but I knew her character and never dared to mention the matter of redemption for her. Alas, now I know flowers It is worthy to be folded straight and must be folded, don’t wait for the truth of breaking the branch without flowers, but unfortunately it is already too late…”
"Have you found out where she is now?"
Gu Yanzhen shook her head: "I asked, but there was no answer there... Oh, since she doesn't give an answer, she is married. If she just leaves Jinfenglou, she should have a reputation in Jiangning at this time. Love, she will not refuse to follow."
Love is the thing, the most sad thing is this kind of miss, Li Pin thought about it: "Don't ask more? At least know where she is now."
"What's the use of asking, and who did she choose in the end? I'm really curious, but... If I can't see you..." He looked at Li Pin and smiled, "Maybe not... or not."
Li Pin nodded and patted his shoulder: "Well, I'll forget it after a while."
When a group of people were talking about these things on the Sihai Tower, the busiest time in the restaurant had passed, and the number of guests gradually decreased. Xiao Er, who just went to buy Songhua eggs, discussed with the people who were called to buy them two days ago, and then reacted with the steward. The steward looked at the four well-identified people here who looked like feather fans, and waved his hands to give instructions. , The shop assistant went out, walked across the street to the intersection over there, and asked Nie Yunzhu to send Songhua eggs tomorrow. Before that, a shop assistant from the Cuiping Building came over and said the same request.
The next morning, before dawn, Nie Yunzhu was waiting in front of the steps of the small building. When Ning Yi came over, he happily told him that the sales had expanded to three houses. look. In fact, the situation of this market expansion is a bit strange to her. People often ask Xiao Er to buy Songhua eggs from the restaurant, but the fame has not been established.
If so, she would be amazed. However, although he was also good at observing words and expressions, Nie Yunzhu naturally couldn't see too much content other than happiness on Ning Yi's face at this time. In fact, she was also happy that she could be self-reliant, and discussed with Ning Yi about not enough pickling in the front, emergency measures in case of shortage in the middle, and so on.
In the early morning, at the intersection, in the car, at the Sihai Tower, when Nie Yunzhu came over with a bamboo basket and told Xiao Er about the various combinations, she decided to inquire a little about the inside story. When she thought about it, most of the things should have something to do with Ning Yi.
"...Second brother, who are the people who asked you to buy Songhua eggs a few days ago... I want to know who likes to eat this."
"Oh, they are all learned talents, and there are also people who say this is called Jade Egg Rich Egg. Yesterday, the villain overheard it in the past, and one of them came back from Tokyo. The master of high school... These people also know the name of Songhua Egg. , Miss Nie's Songhua Egg, is it a novelty I learned from Tokyo... No wonder it's not sold elsewhere... By the way, girl, look, the one who asked for this Songhua Egg yesterday was the talented gentleman."
Nie Yunzhu smiled and turned around. There were two scholars walking in. Shen Miao was the first to see the Songhua egg from the bamboo basket on the counter. He thought that Brother Li's goal had been achieved. He poked Gu Yanzhen. When Gu Yanzhen looked over, he saw a village girl in a headscarf taking out the Songhua eggs for sale. It was also quite interesting. Shen Miao smiled a few words. After a second or two, the words in his mouth were still talking. , but his eyes were already stunned...
