Brothers, friends, brothers, brothers, and brothers, in harmony, Zhou Saijiu and Luo Siye used to think that such a situation could only appear in a small number of families among the people, but today, the two of them saw with their own eyes that when the third prince and the fourth prince met again, the fourth prince went up without saying a word and hugged his brother first, and then was embarrassed to apologize to the person after letting go of his hand.

And the three princes first hurriedly supported people, and then wiped their tears and shook their heads and said that it was all their own fault, they believed that after ten or eight years, it would definitely become a very delicate memory for themselves. Especially a few days ago, he had no choice but to accept the Zhou sacrificial wine that the second prince was also going to enter the Guozijian Frank Hall, and at this moment, there was an illusion that the world was gathering in the Guozijian.

As for going to apologize to Zhang Shou, although the emperor said it very lightly, and the four princes were originally going to do it, but as soon as Zhang Shou smiled and said the new regulations announced in Jiuzhangtang before, the four princes only apologized halfway, so they forgot to leave things behind, cheered in circles and cheered, and then waved their fists to show their confidence, vowing to retake the exam next year, and later caught up.

Facing such a pair of brothers who don't look like the royal family at all, regardless of the candidates who were admitted before or who were down, the mood couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed at this time. As for the few students of Zhaoming Academy who had just arrived in the capital and couldn't help but like to speculate on everything with conspiracy theories, seeing that the four princes were crying and laughing, they pulled the three princes forward to talk to Zhang Shou before the tears dried, and they couldn't help but feel a little sour.

Not to mention the prince, even if he is a rich child, he will become sleek and sophisticated at a young age because of the complicated circle in the family, how can a dignified prince be so naïve? It must be pretended!

No matter what others think, this very short but seemingly long open day of the National Prison has finally come to a successful conclusion. The presence of the emperor has become a topic of conversation among countless people, and the latest issue of the prisoners of Jiuzhangtang and the new system suddenly thrown out by Zhang Shou have also attracted a lot of discussions. In contrast, the head of Zhaoming Academy, Yue Shan, attracted a lot less attention.

No matter how famous the local celebrities are, where did they become such a sensation when they first arrived in the capital?

However, Yue Shan also hoped that too many people would pay attention to or talk about his appearance in the Guozijian, so when he left the Guozijian, he immediately followed the captain who was obviously unaware of his intentions to the accommodation that had been arranged long ago, and then sent the people away. When he settled down, he inquired and learned that he was the first of the four people who were summoned to Beijing to arrive in the capital.

On the theory that Guangdong is too far, he should be the last to arrive, however, he took his students around the southeast in the name of travel early, so the emperor's conscription order was not sent to Guangdong, but because of the reminder of a student of imperial history, he was sent directly to Yangzhou. Now that he met the emperor on the first day he arrived in the capital, he naturally had both joys and sorrows.

As for the plan to bring Zhaoming Academy out of the pattern of a corner of the country, it would be best to set up another academy in the capital, but now Chief Yue can only take it to heart, and he has not even revealed a few students. After all, today's example of Fang Qing's gaffe and almost causing trouble is the best lesson.

And Fang Qing, who was classified as the black sheep by Yue Shanchang, after leaving Guozijian, he wandered alone on the streets of the huge imperial capital, and there was a kind of desolation and desolation of a heartbroken man at the end of the world. Although he is still a person now, he just missed the last subject for some reason, and he was once full of ambition for next year's examination, but at this time, let alone hope, he even has a dark feeling of the road ahead.

"Authentic sugar water! Authentic sugar water from Guangdong! Grandpa Taizu also said back then that the good sugar is not shaken, and the authentic double-skin milk ......"

I don't know how long I left, but when I heard this strange shouting sound, Fang Qing was stunned for a moment. In Guangdong, of course, he knows that from Guangzhou Mansion to Shunde Mansion, there are sugar water in various places, which is said to be traced back to the past when Emperor Taizu went on a southern expedition - because the Holy Son of Heaven once lamented that Guangdong is a place where food gathers, especially all kinds of sugar water are well done.

So, in order to meet Taizu's expectations, when Guangdong finally became part of the Ming Dynasty, the cooks in Guangdong racked their brains to make a lot of things that Emperor Taizu named to eat—even if they had not heard of it at all. Although in the end, the taste is said to be uneven and unsatisfactory, but later generations have studied and pondered, and now the sugar water is indeed extremely popular in Canton.

But this is in the capital, not in Guangfu, how can anyone sell sugar water on the street like this? And he keeps saying that grandpa Taizu?

Fang Qing glanced around with some curiosity, and found that it was just a small street with a sparse flow of people, and the person selling sugar water was pushing a small station on the corner of the street, dressed plainly...... Or shabby, with his head bowed, his waist bent, and his hands even cold in his sleeves. Even though he was actually very down, he suddenly wanted to help his fellow villagers at this moment.

If you are not a fellow countryman, how can you make Cantonese sugar water? In particular, the double-skin milk is said to be made to cater to Taizu's love for dairy products. It's just that in order to get rid of the fishy smell that may be in buffalo milk, many cooks have also spent a lot of time choosing buffalo breeds, but now that this fellow chef has gone to the north, he can't bring the buffalo with him, right?

As for the sugar, in order to make the kernels in the dipping sauce without bitterness, I don't know how much work it takes to coat the walnuts, and finally won the praise of Emperor Taizu. However, no one knows what the peanuts that Emperor Taizu once mentioned......

So, Fang Gongzi, who thought of it, strode directly to the small cart, and when he got closer, he said bluntly: "Give me a double skin milk, and a sugar don't shake it!" ”

However, what he didn't expect was that this act of taking care of business attracted the other party to stare at him. And it wasn't until this moment that he found that the other party was wearing a scarf around his mouth and nose, which was quite sneaky. But he was a little vigilant just now, but he suddenly felt that the other party's eyebrows and expressions were a little familiar, so he frowned unconsciously.

"Did I see you somewhere?"

"How can it? The little one is a sugar water seller, how can he ever see a child? Childe, it's easy not to shake off this sugar, but you have to wait slowly for double skin milk, do you really have time? ”

Finding that the other party's voice was obviously a little dry, and his eyes were even more erratic, he was unwilling to look at him, Fang Qing suddenly became even more suspicious. Especially when he saw that the other party's ten fingers were round, his skin was smooth and delicate, and he didn't look like a person who often did rough work, his suspicion of three points gradually increased to seven points: "Of course, I have time." ”

He replied with such a sentence, seeing that the people laughed dryly, and then skillfully opened the glutinous rice dumplings, stirred the sugar water dipping sauce, and then boiled milky milk on the other side, and the movements were very quick, and he couldn't help but feel that he was too vigilant because he had experienced too many things today.

Soon, the other party smiled and put out the glutinous rice dumplings, and handed him a four-grain sugar that was poured with walnut brown sugar dipping sauce, he lowered his head and tasted the first one, and he felt that he had tasted the taste of his hometown, which was even more fragrant and glutinous than the taste of most cooks in his hometown.

When he finished eating, thinking of his ambition when he left his hometown, thinking of his former respect and love for his teacher, and then thinking of the cold rejection of others from Yue Shanchang to Zhaoming Academy just now, Fang Qing only felt sad from his heart, and before he knew it, two tears fell on the small porcelain plate where only a few broken walnuts remained.

He didn't even notice that compared to the coarse porcelain bowls used in most street foods, or simply portable things such as paper bags, the porcelain plate in his hand at this time was really a bit too delicate. Just then, he heard a deep voice in his ear.

"Being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, thinking of relatives every festive season. The remote knowledge brothers ascended to the heights, and there was one less person in the dogwood. ”

Although when I had just finished eating the special desserts of my hometown, thinking about the past, and missing my hometown, such a song "Remembering Shandong Brothers on September 9th" was indeed very appropriate, but the Double Ninth Festival had already passed, and Fang Qing always felt that the other party's poem was a little yin and yang.

When he looked up again, he saw that the person no longer cared about him, and was carefully pouring the milk in the pot into another bowl while it was hot, and when the milk skin in the bowl curdled, he used chopsticks to open the milk skin in the bowl, and carefully poured the milk under the bottom into another bowl, leaving the top layer of milk skin.

Immediately afterwards, people began to beat the eggs again to take the egg whites, then beat the egg whites, add sugar and mix with the poured milk, skim off the upper layer of foam, and then put it into the original bowl with milk skin and steam. Seeing this process, he was suddenly a little distracted.

I remember my mother at home, who used to be very good at doing this, when he left, he once boasted that he would take the Jinshi exam and go back, if the news came out that he was expelled from Zhaoming Academy on another day, would my mother be heartbroken?

I don't know how long it took, Fang Qing suddenly heard a cough, and when he looked up, he saw that the other party handed him a small bowl: "This is Shuangpi milk...... Guest, you have all the two dishes you want, and the two desserts are worth 50 yuan! ”

Fang Qing muttered heartily, but the fragrant milk smell in the bowl made him forget this trace of doubt for the time being. He casually took out a handful of money from the money bag in his waist, but he didn't count it and was afraid that it would not be enough, so he simply grabbed another handful and handed it over, and then took the bowl, and another handful of small and delicate spoons handed over by the other party, and after only one bite, he was completely satisfied.

That's really an authentic taste of home! However, there is also a slight difference, it seems that the milky taste is different from that of my hometown, but it is also mellow!

I didn't care about the heat, I finished eating this small bowl of double-skin milk in two bites, Fang Qing often breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to hand back the bowl and spoon, he suddenly noticed the lines on the utensils, and then found that this bowl is good, the spoon is good, the porcelain is delicate, not to mention the roadside stalls, probably even the best restaurants and restaurants may not be willing to use it.

At this moment, his initial suspicion suddenly came to mind.

However, the memory of the unsuccessful inquiry just now was still there, so he pretended not to notice anything, and when the utensils handed over were taken by the other party, he suddenly reached out and copied it, but directly pulled down the other party's gauze to cover his face. The moment he saw that face clearly, he was completely stunned.

"Song Shude?"

"The surname Fang, you eat yours, I'll do mine, what are you doing with my platform!" Song Juren was furious for a while, put the porcelain bowl and spoon in the hanging bag on the side, and after scolding, he hurriedly put a scarf on his face, and then pushed the cart to leave. But since Fang Qing recognized him, where would he release people so easily, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"What are you doing here? If someone else's family suddenly changes, you can only sell sugar water along the street in person to get by, but your family is the richest man in Guangdong, even if this is the capital, there is also your Song family, as for you to be reduced to selling sugar water on the street? The more Fang Qing spoke, the more he felt that something was wrong, and then suddenly raised his voice, "Could it be that you were kicked out of the Song family?" ”

"Phew!" Song Juren suddenly became angry, "Crow's mouth, who said that I was kicked out of the Song family?" ”

Fang Qing has always been straightforward, and he doesn't know how many people he has offended, if he wasn't from Zhaoming Academy, he wouldn't have known how much trouble he had gotten into, so he had always had the nickname of Crow's Beak in Guangfu. But today because of his words, he was originally particularly taboo about this nickname, but now that Song Juren suddenly mentioned it, he was immediately furious.

"Song bastard, are you embarrassed to talk about me? Didn't you just rely on your Song family's big business, so you fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and didn't do your job all day long? ”

Song Juren was also so angry by the nickname of this Song bastard that he blurted out for a while: "What's not doing business, I just went to participate in the Imperial Chef Selection Contest a few days ago, and I went directly to the semi-finals, and even Princess Yongping said that the sugar water I made tasted good!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Fang Qing dumbfounded, and then he realized that he had said too much. But the matter of Xinglong Tea House had already gone far before, thinking that even if Fang Qing had just arrived in the capital, as long as he met a few more fellow villagers, he would know about it, so he didn't bother to hide it, and snorted coldly when he broke the jar.

"Uncle also deliberately went to Zhao Guogong's mansion to find someone, and kept saying that the family was unlucky, but he was choked by Zhao Guogong's sentence of 360 lines, and the emperor also rewarded me with words to choke and retreat, why didn't I do my job?" Good thing I'm not there!

Seeing that Song Juren was arrogant, Fang Qing, who felt incredible just now, was finally completely sure at this time that he was not talking to himself, but telling the truth! Thinking that Song Shude, a dignified person, actually wanted to run for the imperial chef on a whim, the Song family would inevitably be in an uproar, he thought it was funny at first, but when he thought of himself, he felt that Song Juren's deviance was just a trivial matter.

"Even if you spread the word, it will be a good story in the end, and it is better than me causing a big disaster."

Song Juren originally wanted to leave with a snort, but when he heard Fang Qing say that he was in trouble, he immediately stopped. The two of them are talented in the same department, one is third, the other is fourth, and they are the title of the same department, and they are the seventeenth, and the other is the eighteenth. In addition, the usual activities such as cultural meetings often look up and don't look down, so it can be said that they are extremely familiar.

He looked at Fang Qing suspiciously: "Crow's mouth, who have you offended with this mouth?" ”

Fu Tian said
