Chapter 104: Kiryu apprenticeship
Zhou Bingshu is a poor student in Nanxun Thatched Cottage.
When the state examination was approaching, the master of the thatched cottage suggested that he go to the Huajian Book Club to communicate more with other scholars and students, and the book society held meetings of the society or strategy in the first few months of the state examination, and it would be helpful for him to participate in the imperial examination.
He is like a stream, absorbing information like a sponge every day, and when he finishes learning, he sorts out the knowledge and eliminates irrelevant and useless information.
At the beginning, he found that the scallion noodles were cheap and big, the taste was good, and it would not bring him too much burden, and then for a while, his classmates saw him walking around, and vaguely heard them laughing at those hillbillies who opened their mouths and smoked the stench of green onions, and only those who were so poor that they would eat the scallion noodles every day.
Scholars and students are also divided into three, six, nine and so on.
Stepping out of Nanxun Thatched Cottage, Fang felt that after staying in heaven for a long time, he forgot that malice in the world is everywhere.
Since that time, Zhou Bingshu staggered the meal time with the people of the book club, and brought steamed buns and pickles to deal with the past with a bowl of white porridge for two pennies, studying harder, he held a fire in his heart, waiting for him to pass the exam, waiting for him to come out......
"Brother, brother?" The shout of the little sister of the Zhou family brought him back to his senses, he looked left and right, and remembered that he took the little sister through the Taixuguan and came to the Wenfang Street at the back door, not the Huajian Book Club: "What's wrong?"
"Sweet cake, it's sweet cake, brother, I want to eat sweet cake...... Delicious. The little sister of the Zhou family pointed to the storefront not far away, a crystal saliva flowed from her mouth, and she looked at Zhou Bingshu with a blank eye.
It's-
Zhou Bingshu showed an embarrassed look, pinched the money bag on his waist, there was not much money, he planned to buy some rice paper and pen and ink on Wenfang Street, but he could see his little sister's eager eyes, just go back and go to Taixuguan to set up a stall, write a letter to someone to earn the money back.
"Okay, let's eat sweet cakes. ”
Entering the sweet cake shop, Kiryu greeted the person and ushered the person to the seat, and introduced his own food: "The two of you must be a little hungry at this hour, right? Seeing that Zhou Bingshu's face was slightly wrong when he heard the scallion noodles, he added: "In addition to the soup, the scallion noodles also provide peppermint and green orange tea for free, so you don't have to worry about leaving a peculiar smell in your mouth after eating." ”
"I want to eat bowl cakes. The little sister of the Zhou family said.
Kiryu was a little surprised, his boss's daily life - too vain and selling, finally saw the results?" "Yes, what kind of bowl cake do you want to eat? We have red beans, mung beans, mixed beans, and two-color bowl cakes." ”
The little sister of the Zhou family drooled out. "I want two-colored! I want red beans!" and looked at Zhou Bingshu again.
After reading the water card, Zhou Bingshu knew the price, and it was not particularly expensive, and said: "Then one part of the green onion mixed noodles, one part and the first porridge, one for each of the two-color and red bean bowl cake." ”
"Okay. After Kiryu finished drinking, Zhou Bingshu asked him what was in the porridge and how the name came from, "It's also the first time I've heard that the name of this porridge was given by our boss." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ah Yao came out of the kitchen with the first porridge, the green onion mixed noodles and the bowl cake, and when she heard the words, she explained: "It has slices of meat, pork liver and powder sausages, and it is not good to call it in the water, so it will be turned into a porridge, if someone eats the porridge, in the future, it will be a good story to sit on this name." Huh, Senior Brother Zhou?"
"Do you recognize me?" Zhou Bingshu hesitated and looked at A-Yao again and again, but he really didn't have the impression of this girl in his mind.
"Well, I had a relationship with you when I was studying in the cottage, and I still learned your name from Yingniang. Yao explained, putting all the food in front of them.
The little sister of the Zhou family couldn't wait to stretch out her little hand to pick up the bamboo stick, turn the bowl cake, and let out an amazement, stunned.
Zhou Bingshu also remembered that the master once mentioned that there are students in the cottage who open a pastry shop near Wenfang Street, the price is affordable, and you can eat there, he was full of Huajian Book Club at the time, and he didn't listen to the following words, "So that's the case, the master also mentioned it to me, but I always forgot about it when I went to the book club." ”
Ah Yao couldn't sit for long, and went back to the kitchen to practice spooning, even if she came out to open a store, the homework assigned by Mochizuki still had to be completed.
Zhou Bingshu has been a frequent visitor since he was brought by his little sister to eat sweet cakes.
Kiryu always asked him for a word after dinner, and asked him what it meant, and Zhou Bingshu didn't mind explaining it to him, as if he was refreshing the old and learning the new.
Finally after another meal, Zhou Bingshu used to write a word with tea on the table, waiting for the studious Kiryu to ask, but he didn't expect to see Kiryu holding a bacon sausage wrapped in red paper and a bucket of rice noodles, and a money bag on it.
Frightened, Zhou Bingshu jumped up: "What are you doing here?"
"Sir, please accept me as a student, don't bother Mr. to bother more, just like now, teach me a word or two after dinner, I don't have much money, but I prepare a bundle for the New Year's holidays, Mr. eats in the store with all the expenses, I don't know if Mr. is willing?" Kiryu said sincerely, "If Mr. is unwilling, these are my gifts of reparation, disturbing Mr. to review these days, if it affects Mr. to participate in the scientific examination, it is really my fault." ”
Ah Yao listened to the movement outside and sighed that Kiryu was really a talent.
has to give him a salary increase, I don't know if he can say that he can move Zhou Bingshu to be his husband?
"I'm a dull person, how can he be a teacher. Zhou Bingshu wanted to refuse, but Kiryu explained that he didn't need to write articles like a literati and ink writer, he didn't need to go to the scientific examination to become an official, he wanted to be literate and academic, read more books, and understand all the gossip.
Ah Yao, who was eavesdropping, stumbled and secretly thought that Kiryu's dream of you is also great.
Zhou Bingshu was also shocked by his dream, and after a while, he agreed.
In the evening, having dinner with Mochizuki and Bird's Nest, A-Yao mentioned Kiryu's apprenticeship, and her worship of bird's nest went to the next level: "Bird's Nest knows heroes! Tongsheng is smart and capable, and he brought me a list of Jumbo Xuan, and now he is learning words from Senior Brother Zhou in Caotang, and over time, I think my sweet cake shop will not be able to keep him." My bird's nest sister is super powerful!"
"Ahem. Mochizuki showed her presence on the sidelines.
"My bird's nest sister is so powerful, all because my master Mochizuki teaches well, and the apprentices she teaches are very powerful. Ah Yao continued to boast as if she didn't notice it.
Mochizuki: "You girl, you will turn around and praise yourself." Since my apprentice is so powerful, I will add another one hundred taels to the assessment, by the way, show me your spoon drill?"
"Master Mochizuki!"
Laughing and playing, autumn is coming unconsciously, and there is a very grand event in Nanxun County in the autumn of this year-
State exam.
