In the center of Suzaku Avenue, the news of the opening of a Tao Xiaosheng bun shop spread throughout Chang'an City like a wind.

There's a reason why it's spreading so fast.

First, this Tao Xiaosheng steamed bun shop focuses on soup dumplings, what is this soup dumpling? Immediately aroused the gossip of curious citizens about this novelty!

Second, this Tao Xiaosheng bun is open for three days for free, although it is limited to three per person, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat! Can't resist the temptation of three days of free.

People have already begun to come from all over the world to make appointments in advance and take up a good position.

For the sake of his great career and dreams, Tao Ran had to lead the eldest girls to live in the shop temporarily! Get up from the bed before dawn!

Qianqian and the big girls have already wrapped a full twenty steamer buns.

Chu Liang had already boiled the cauldron, and when he saw Tao Ran get up, he asked. "Brother, are you ready to basket?"

Tao Ran nodded and agreed, "Basket, master the time." ”

Outside the gate was already crowded with people queuing in advance, and the long line reached the opposite end, and then turned left and saw no end in sight.

The housekeeper Hong Xijun led Rhubarb to maintain order in the team.

Rhubarb patrolled back and forth like a patrol soldier with his head held high, and if he saw a queue, Rhubarb opened his mouth and bit his pants and dragged them back, causing the crowd to laugh constantly.

When people saw that this pony was so spiritual, they all consciously lined up in an orderly manner, waiting for the buns to open their doors......

After all, they are three free buns, and the wives and children at home are still waiting to eat.

The morning sun has risen completely!

The first batch of 20 cage buns has been released, in order to create the best effect, Tao Ran decided to wait for the next batch of 20 cage buns to come out of the cage before opening the door to welcome guests, after all, there are too many people, and the 20 cage buns will not be distributed much time, which will make people continue to fall into anxious waiting.

In the eyes of people's great expectation, Tao Xiaosheng's bun shop finally opened.

Chu Liang and the housekeeper Hong Xijun carried out the first batch of twenty soup dumplings with a dustpan.

Cheng Chuliang lifted the quilt covering the dustpan, and a stream of heat rose into the air.

Instantly, the air was filled with a rich fragrance.

Daya and Qianqian respectively distributed steamed buns to those who came in line.

The first person to receive the bun was a woman, who happily packed it into her cloth bag and left.

The second person to get the bun was Dahan, who directly stuffed a bun into his mouth, and the big girl found that it was too late to stop it.

The big man grinned with his hot teeth, which made the queue behind laugh.

"It's so delicious, it's so fragrant, I'm in line this night, thank you, Ma's farewell."

Tao Ran's heart was suddenly touched by something.

"The name Ma Zhou is too familiar, as if I have heard it there." Tao Ran thought quickly.

"Childe, please stay ......" Tao Ran suddenly remembered that this was the prime minister of the dynasty a few years later.

"Xiao Langjun called me?" Ma Zhou turned around and asked.

"Does Childe live in General Chang's Mansion now?" According to Tao Ran's memory, the current Ma Zhou should live in the Zhonglang General Changhe Mansion.

Ma Zhou looked at Tao Ran blankly: "Why does Xiao Langjun know?" We should never have lived in life, right? ”

"Ben Hou has long admired the name of his son, and it is really a blessing to see him today."

"Benhou? Xiao Langjun is so young that he is actually a marquis? It's ridiculous that a Hou Ye opened a bun shop here? Although your buns are delicious for free for three days, Xiao Langjun shouldn't joke with Ma, okay? Ma Zhou had a look of disbelief on his face.

"This eldest brother, Brother Tao Ran is really Chang'an Hou who was personally sealed by His Majesty because of his dedication to the method of salt making." Chu Liang interjected on the side.

"It turned out to be Chang'anhou, who offered the method of salt making, and Ma was rude. I don't want to see Chang'an today, Ma is very happy, it is better to meet by chance, Ma is willing to ask the little marquis who solves the salt hardship for the people of the Tang Dynasty to have a few drinks. ”

"Brother Ma, please, Dongmei is going to get a few catties of wine, today I won't get drunk with Brother Ma......"

"Brother, don't drink." The big girl said angrily. It made Ma Zhou laugh.

"It's okay, my brother is rarely happy today, so I'll drink this time, it's hard for a few of you." After Tao Ran finished speaking, he took Ma Zhou into the shop.

"I said who has such a big face and can open a shop in the middle of this Vermilion Bird Avenue, it turns out to be Chang'an Hou. Why did Hou Ye open a bun shop here? Ma Zhou asked puzzled.

While speaking, Du Juan brought the wine and poured a large bowl for Hou Ye and Ma Zhou.

"I also want to let all the children in the world go to school......" Then Tao Ran told Ma Zhou the ins and outs of opening a shop.

"Hou Ye Gaoyi, Ma Zhou is ashamed of himself, please accept Ma Zhou's worship." Saying that, Ma Zhou gave Tao Ran a proper salute.

"Brother Ma is serious, brother is just doing some more things that the people of the Tang Dynasty should do." Tao Ran unconsciously deliberately brought the relationship between the two closer, and they were already brothers!

"Master Hou, how dare Ma Zhou be commensurate with Brother Hou? Hou Ye is in love. ”

"What is the Hou Ye or not the Hou Ye, the brother is just an empty shell with no real power, which makes Brother Ma laugh."

"Come, a toast to our encounter today." Tao Ran raised the large bowl of wine.

"Thanks to my brothers, I can afford Ma Zhou and do ......" Ma Zhou inherited the fine character of Shandong people's bold and upright. (Ma Zhou's ancestral hometown, Chiping County, Shandong Province, Chiping Town)

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Tao Ran saw that the time was almost up, and asked. "What are your plans for the future?"

"What else can you do? The imperial examination has not passed several times, and the eldest brother is disheartened, and he wants to take the test again when he lives in General Chang's Mansion this year. ”

Tao Ran suddenly woke up, it turned out that Ma Zhou was blocked by Xiucai. In fact, the most difficult fame to test now should be Xiucai.

At the beginning, you need five policy theories, and all of them must be qualified, so there was once a phenomenon that a state candidate did not pass, which made His Majesty Li Er furious.

"Why didn't Brother Ma try to get a Jinshi? Jinshi is the best shortcut to becoming an official! ”

"However, Ma Zhou is not good at poetry, and I am afraid that he will not be able to get admitted to the Jinshi."

At that time, it was completely different to take the Jinshi solo show, and if you wanted to get the Jinshi, you first had to take the poetry test. The examiner's proposition, for example, takes spring as the theme, and the candidates have to write a poem according to the theme of spring.

Then the examiner will review them one by one, and the best candidates will be selected.

Only after passing the poetry level did he really embark on the Jinshi Road. Therefore, more than 70% of the candidates in the poetry pass will fail.

"Don't dare to say anything else, when it comes to composing poetry, the younger brother has a lot of experience, if Brother Ma doesn't give up, you can come to Houfu to learn schoolwork."
