Chapter Ninety-Four: Food Street
Li Xia immediately responded: "What's the matter, you can say it sixteen." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "I didn't ask for anything, I didn't leave any regression, and I just agreed so simply."
Xia Zhi felt that Li Xia was very refreshing and a good friend. She didn't spare Li Xia when she talked to her. "My dad couldn't get his salary in advance, so he had to borrow money from his colleagues and students. Li Xia, I see that you have a lot of prestige in the academy. Can you whisper to those who might lend me money to not lend money to my dad. ”
Just blocked Xia Xiucai's way to advance his salary, and Xia Zhi also cut off the possibility of him borrowing money in the academy. Except for the academy and Aunt Xia, Xia Xiucai couldn't borrow money elsewhere in Fucheng.
That's right, Xia Zhi just wants to make Xia Xiucai unable to borrow money to the Tian family.
Li Xia thought about it for a while, then nodded in agreement. "Okay, I'll get out of the way. Even if someone lent money to Mr. Xia, I will ask him to come back. When he spoke like this, Li Xia made a gesture of evil. And then he himself laughed. "My words still carry some weight in the academy. However, I dare not say that it is my prestige. I'm a fox and a fake tiger, relying on my father's momentum. ”
"Haha, Li Xia, don't be so frank." Xia Zhi was amused by Li Xia.
Li Xia smiled: "How can you do it if you don't confess." Sixteen, uncle, I didn't tell me my identity last time in Linshui Town, you won't blame me, right? I didn't mean to hide it, I didn't know about your relationship with Mr. Xia. ”
He was quite careful, thinking about clarifying the matter. In fact, Xia Zhi didn't take this to heart at all.
"It's not your fault. I didn't mention that my dad was in college. Xia Zhi said, "At that time, I didn't expect you to be the young master of the academy." ”
Li Xia waved his hand: "Don't say that, what a master, I was also taught by my father all day long, and I was a hard scholar." He just promised his father that he would study hard next, not only to pass the county and government examinations in one fell swoop, but also to get a good ranking. His father's expectation of him is that the head of the case is a small three yuan. In order to get his father to agree to Xia Zhi's request, he nodded at that time.
As he spoke, the young man came in with a huge tray and placed three bowls of noodles and three empty bowls in front of the three of them. The bowls are all special large sea bowls, which are larger than the largest bowl in Xia Zhi's house, and the noodles in the bowl are piled up sharply, which is quite real.
As soon as the little black fish saw the big bowl, their eyes lit up.
"Little master, what else do you want?" The young man asked Li Xia, obviously he knew each other.
"No more. Oh......" Li Xia saw Daqing lying at the feet of the little black fish. Daqing's dog was raised very decently, and when he entered the noodle restaurant and smelled the fragrance of noodles, he only whined twice in a low voice, and there was no other begging behavior. "You see what dogs can eat, well, you go and help buy three steamed buns, and then ask for a pot of broth, and you want more meat and less soup."
Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish both nodded.
The young man agreed, and soon came back with a large food bowl, which was filled with thick broth, and three white-flour steamed buns exuded the aroma of wheat flour.
Watching Daqing bury his head in the food bowl, the three of them were very satisfied. It is impossible to have pork in the restaurants of the parishioners. The pot of broth in Daqing is mutton soup. He rarely eats it.
Li Xia and Xiao Heiyuer are beef noodles in front of them, and in front of Xia Solstice are shredded noodles with mushrooms and chicken. Xia Zhi picked two noodles from his bowl, put them into an empty bowl, and pushed them in front of the little black fish. The little black fish also picked some of his beef noodles and gave them to the summer solstice in an empty bowl.
Only then did Li Xia understand the reason why the summer solstice wanted an empty bowl.
Xia Zhi asked Li Xia if he wanted to try shredded chicken noodles with mushrooms. "That's the benefit of having a few people eating together." If you are alone, you can't eat two bowls of noodles anyway, you can only ask for one bowl. There are many of them, and if one person wants a bowl, each person can taste one or even more flavors of noodles.
She was a single dog in her previous life, and she often had resentments when she went out to eat alone.
Li Xia nodded, gave a basket of noodles to Xia Zhi, and then accepted the shredded mushroom and chicken noodles from Xia Zhi, and nodded and said that this method is good. I will eat like this in the future.
"Li Xia, who do you usually eat with, your cousin?" Xia Zhi asked casually. The three of them are very comfortable and casual together, so they don't pay attention to what they eat or say.
Only then did Li Xia think of Tian Kuo. "Where did he go? I just remembered that I didn't see him when I went back. ”
"Gone with two women." The little black fish told Li Xia.
Li Xia's expression was momentarily distorted.
Xia Zhi smiled secretly, and hurriedly told Li Xia about the situation at that time. Li Xia asked about the appearance of the master and the servant, and then thought about it and said, "That's probably Mr. Lu's family, they just came, they are not familiar with the road, they should be lost." ”
"Family?" Xia Zhi asked Li Xia again, and then he learned that Wenshan Academy is very large, and it is divided into several small academies to teach students of different levels. In addition to the school, Wenshan College also arranged accommodation for students and gentlemen.
The cost of the students' dormitories is included in their bundles, and the accommodation for the gentlemen is free of charge. The accommodation conditions arranged by Wenshan Academy for gentlemen are not bad, single gentlemen generally share a courtyard with six to eight people, one person has a bedroom, and two or three people share a living room and study.
There are also gentlemen who live in the academy with their families, but there are not many of them. This requires competence and qualifications. Mr. Lu has a lot of experience at Wenshan Academy, but he has never lived with his family before. A few days ago, her wife came to visit with her children, and the academy arranged another courtyard for their family.
Because of the large number of students and gentlemen combined, there are many buildings in the academy, and the courtyards of the gentlemen are arranged in similar places, and those who are not familiar with them sometimes get lost in them.
Xia Zhi nodded, they were able to find Li Shanchang's courtyard smoothly, and it was really thanks to Tian Kuo who led the way. She casually asked Li Xia again: "Do you know the gentlemen's families?" She just roughly talked about the appearance of the master and servant, and Li Xia recognized it as Mr. Lu's family.
"Mr. Lu and my father are good friends, and he has been in the academy for nearly 20 years. Their family came, and my father and mother once held a banquet for them to catch the wind and wash the dust, and I was the companion, so I knew it. After Li Xia finished explaining, he asked Xia Zhi again, "You are here, do you want to meet Mr. Xia?" I remember that Mr. Xia should have lived in Nanjiazi...... How many numbers are coming...... "He couldn't remember. He had an impression of Xia Xiucai, but he didn't pay special attention to it.
It turned out that there were too many courtyards, and the academy was numbered in order to facilitate management.
"Don't rush yet." Xia Zhi said, "I heard my aunt say that many students in the academy are preparing for exams, and my father should be very busy. ”
"That's right." Li Xia lowered his head and ate noodles.
Xia Zhi remembered another thing: "Li Xia, do you also want to take the exam?" Or, are you already a showman? ”
Li Xia replied: "I am going to take the exam this year. ”
"Oh, Li Xia, then you can't play with us." The little black fish was a little disappointed. He was very happy to see Li Xia in Fucheng, and thought in his heart that he wanted Li Xia to accompany them around.
Between Changsheng and Li Xia, the little black fish prefers Li Xia to accompany him.
Li Xia showed a melancholy expression: "I can always spare some time to ......"
"Li Xia, don't be reluctant." Xia Zhi immediately stopped Li Xia's words. Just kidding, the entrance examination is the top priority for scholars in this era, and it is related to the future and destiny of life. "It's not like we're not here this time. You have passed the Xiucai examination, and we will come to Fucheng in the future, and you will accompany us. ”
Li Xia put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Xia Zhi faintly: "If I can't pass the exam...... show talent"
"You can't pass the test?" Xia Zhi was slightly stunned, she really didn't expect this possibility before. On the one hand, she has a good impression of Li Xia, and on the other hand, Li Xia is no one else, he is the son of Dongcheng Li and the son of Li Shanchang.
Whether it is from the perspective of genetic qualifications or the environment, it should not be difficult for Li Xia to take the test to show off his talents.
However, there is a case for everything.
"Li Xia, are you unwilling to take the imperial examination?" Xia Zhi stared at Li Xia.
Li Xia lowered his head and picked up chopsticks to eat noodles, and said a little vaguely: "This Xiucai will definitely take the test." He seemed reluctant to go into the nitty-gritty of the subject.
Xia Zhi sighed, and it took a while to retract his gaze on Li Xia. When she first met Li Xia, she thought he was a troubled teenager who was caught in a love triangle. Seeing Li Xia again this time, she found that Li Xia may be a troubled teenager who is tired of school.
But he said that Xiucai must be examined, so there should be no problem in a short time. Xia Zhi wanted to persuade Li Xia, but he was not in a hurry at this time.
After the three of them finished eating the noodles, Daqing also licked the bowl cleanly. Xia Zhi called the young man and asked to buy some sauce beef, saying that he would take it back to Aunt Xia's family to taste.
The young man was a little embarrassed, they had never sold sauce beef alone.
"So, your boss is here, I'll talk to him." Li Xia discussed it with the young man. What he wants to do on the summer solstice, he always has to help.
The young man is very clever, and it seems that he is not just a hired hand, but quite capable of doing some masters. When he saw Li Xia speak, he happily agreed to go out, and when he turned back, he was already carrying the sauced beef wrapped in oiled paper. “…… It still has to be served with our noodles to taste the best. ”
Xia Zhi happily paid the bill. Three bowls of noodles, plus Daqing's dog food and this bag of sauced beef, a total of 60 yuan.
Xia Zhi felt that the food was good, and he also understood in his heart that Li Xia should be to save them money.
The three of them and a dog came out of the snack shop, Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer were not in a hurry to go back to Aunt Xia's house, and Li Xia was not in a hurry to go back to the academy, so they just ate and walked slowly after cooking.
There are many houses on the left and right at the gate of Wenshan Academy, many of which sell food. Li Xia seemed to be very familiar with this place, and he told Xia Zhi that in addition to the beef noodles he had just eaten, there was also the porridge of Sister-in-law Wang's family, the steamed buns of Lao Sun Tou's family, and the wontons of Hei San'er's family were all very delicious.
"Come, I'll take you all to taste." Li Xia said with a smile.
Xia Solstice looked left and right, and knew it in his heart. These large and small restaurants and restaurants should have sprung up because of the college, and they were mainly engaged in the business of the students and gentlemen in the college. This is also the food street of Wenshan Academy, or the snack street.
Li Xia pointed to the back again, there were many houses behind the food court. Many of them are rented to students and gentlemen of the college. Although the college provides dormitories for everyone, many people still find it uncomfortable or inconvenient. It is not only the husband who rents a house here, but also the students. And almost all kinds of houses can be rented, there are expensive courtyards, and there are cheap houses.
After walking outside for a while, Li Xia was going to take Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish into the academy again. Xia Zhi saw that the hour was not early, and he still thought that Li Xia wanted to study and prepare for the exam, so he proposed to go back.
"After all, you two are still young, and it has been a long time since you came out, so I'm afraid that your family will be worried." Li Xia thought of this and did not force the two to stay.
Xia Zhi planned to hire a car to go back.
The entrance of Wenshan Academy is full of pedestrians, not only can you hire cars and porters, but also sedan chairs.
"Li Xia, you go back to study." Xia Zhi said to Li Xia, "Uncle and I will come to see you later." ”
Li Xia refused to let them go back alone: "I'll send you back." So saying, he beckoned a little boy to come over, and gave him a few pennies like this. The boy happily ran into the academy.
"My car is in there, and I'll be here in a minute. I'll send you back, and I'll take the opportunity to disperse. He said this, if Xia Solstice refuses again, he will not be given a chance to let off. As if he knew what Xia Zhi was worried about, Li Xia also smiled at Xia Zhi, "Sixteen, you don't have to worry about me. It's not that I'm boasting, I still got a show talent, it's just the difference in ranking. ”
Xia Zhi no longer refused, and told Li Xia to be relaxed in reviewing his homework. Li Xia nodded and agreed with her words: "That's the truth." ”
After a while, sure enough, a little guy drove a carriage out. When the carriage stopped in front of Li Xia, the boy who had just gone to deliver the message got down from the wheel and smiled at Li Xia. Li Xia took out a few more coins from his sleeve and gave them to him. That little boy was a child from a nearby family, and after a while, he earned a lot of extra money, saluted Li Xia, and ran away happily.
The little guy also got out of the car early, saluted Li Xia and called him young master, and then took down a stool from the back of the car and put it under the carriage. Li Xia first helped Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer into the carriage, and then instructed the little girl to go to Xishi Street, and then followed to get into the carriage and sat next to Xia Zhi.
The little guy put away his stool and drove to Xicheng.
Li Xia's carriage looked ordinary on the outside, but it was spacious and comfortable on the inside. All the way, the three of them talked all the way. Li Xia first asked about the situation of Aunt Xia's family.
“…… It's very convenient and lively, but I'm afraid it's a little noisy and not quiet enough. Li Xia said this, and asked Xia Zhi with concern, Xia Xiucai couldn't borrow money, what should she do after she went back, the most important thing was: "Sixteen, will you be in danger?" ”
