Chapter 919: A Book of Profits
The star-picking building in Yuzhou is one of the best restaurants, and the allusions in it come from the star-picking platform built by the king of Shang, which means that it is delicious here, comparable to the fairy food in the sky, and the gods will also come down to patronize.
However, Yin Qingqi doesn't care about these at all, she only cares about whether it's delicious or not.
After being pregnant, Yin Qingqi was even more picky, not waiting for idle food to impress her.
Qi Yuan was waiting for the food to be served, told the allusions here, and also said a few famous dishes here, Yin Qingqi only listened to it as a story, and for the first time an idea came to him, he rushed to Qi Yuan's eloquence, if he was not the emperor and became a storyteller, he would not starve to death.
"Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the moon cakes here are considered specialty, and we will buy a little back when the time comes, so don't give it to you now, let's eat the main meal first."
Yin Qingqi nodded, moon cakes are meant to be in season, although they can be eaten at any time, but there is always no such artistic conception, but since Qi Yuan praised it so much, it will be good to taste it when the time comes.
Yin Qingqi spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in Shuzhou, and it was a pity that he did not spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Qi Yuan.
"Let's eat together later, it can be regarded as making up for the Mid-Autumn Festival together."
Yin Qingqi said while showing a blank look, originally he hated this festival the most.
How do you say that you are reunited with your family, but if you are alone, how should you live?
Yin Qingqi is alone, and when she mentions this reunion festival, she will inevitably feel a little sad in her heart.
"Well, no matter what festival in the future, let's be together."
Yin Qingqi looked at Qi Yuan's solemn look, and laughed out loud.
Because of his words, this meal can be regarded as extraordinarily happy.
The Wendou competition was not just starting, and at this time, the Devon Building was already full of people, and there were some who had no place, so they came over with Mazha and sat in the middle of the road. The knockout round will start tomorrow, and today eight gentlemen will be selected, so today is no worse than the final.
When Yin Qingqi and Qi Yuan entered the door, they were taken aback by the grand scene in front of them, although more than half of the guests here were literati, but the other half seemed to be rich and magnates, and they all seemed to attach great importance to this competition.
The first round of the preliminary round is a melee elimination round, each time about 10 students improvise poems, or couplets, and finally win the most gold flowers to participate in the next round.
And the golden flower was bought by the spectators.
If there are people here who value a certain person and are willing to spend a lot of money to buy gold flowers, they can also launch a top name.
Qi Yuan and Yin Qingqi thought it was interesting and asked Wang Xu to buy ten golden flowers, planning to vote for them too.
When asked about the price of Jinhua, Yin Qingqi vaguely smelled a business opportunity. This gold flower is one or two silver, and the asking price is not expensive at all, but it can't stand up to add up to a lot.
She only counted them roughly, and sold hundreds of golden flowers in just one game, and finally gave them to those literati, and these literati lived in the inn, if he was the boss of Wen Douluo, he would buy the golden flowers from them at a low price and sell them to the spectators before the start of the game.
This is basically a business without a book, and it is a million profits, and after the whole Wendou competition, it must be the boss of this Wendoulou who makes a lot of money.
In that case, why didn't this boss open it?
But soon Yin Qingqi didn't want to think about this, these literati were really a little talented, and they attracted her attention as soon as they started.
Yin Qingqi likes to read books, but this does not prevent her from appreciating these poems, and the first game is a poem with the theme of summer.
The clerk was present, he was very good at writing this kind of poem, the pen was like a dragon, he wrote on the paper, there was almost no pause, a poem jumped out of the paper, and after he stopped writing, the others wrote half of it, and it seemed that he was really talented.
When the time comes, first those who have not finished writing are eliminated, and finally the rest of them are allowed to show the verses.
The clerk wrote: lotus flowers send fragrance, and bamboo dew drops are clear. If you want to play the piano, you hate ignorance.
Although it is not gorgeous, from his poems, I feel the summer night, and he sighs the helplessness of Huai Cai.
In comparison, the other talents seem a little mediocre.
Yin Qingqi subconsciously glanced at Qi Yuan and said, "He said that he didn't meet Huaicai." ”
Qi Yuan just smiled and didn't answer. In the first ten years, eleven of them felt that they were Maxima, and they could not meet Bole, and they could only be unknown for the rest of their lives.
As for this person, it seems that he has some talent, but this also shows that in addition to his wealth, he also has arrogance, which is not easy to control, Qi Yuan only plans to help him here and cast him a few more golden flowers, as for other things, he doesn't plan to do more.
Seeing that Qi Yuan didn't answer her words, Yin Qingqi pursed her lips, a little dissatisfied, but she also understood Qi Yuan's thoughts, and she didn't think he was doing something wrong, there are many talents in the world, if you can't even pass the imperial examination, you are really not suitable to be an official.
The clerk almost had no suspense and entered the finals, but when he was ranked second in the end, he was only short of a golden flower and did not win the first place.
Yin Qingqi frowned, looking at the last golden flower in his hand, he didn't know whether to throw it in or not.
When asked again on the stage: But when someone still voted for Jinhua, Yin Qingqi and Qi Yuan tacitly did not speak.
Although she felt a little sorry for the scholar surnamed Wen and the scholar who accidentally got the first name, she wanted to test whether she would really be killed after winning the scholar, and maybe she could take down the murderer in one fell swoop.
"Isn't it a little unkind for us to do this?"
Speaking of which, Yin Qingqi felt a little uncomfortable in her conscience, and finally asked.
Qi Yuan chuckled and asked rhetorically: "Someone has to be the bait, it's either him or someone else." ”
Yin Qingqi rolled her eyes, she didn't blame herself at this time, she was just a little angry with Qi Yuan.
A few people were about to disperse, so they watched Xiao Er bow his head and say to the scholar who won: "Young Master Liu, you won the first place today, the room is ready, the little one will take you over." ”
"Which one?"
Liu Gongzi's face obviously flashed a trace of strangeness, although he is not a local, but it is not the first time to participate in this Wendoulou, he has also heard the recent rumors, so he instinctively resists.
Xiao Er immediately understood his taboo and said: "The accident happened in the East Courtyard, and now there is no one living in that building, this is the upper room of the West Garden." ”
After Liu Shusheng heard this, his face looked better, and he said, "Then you can go to the inn with me and bring your luggage." ”
Yin Qingqi looked at the scene below, a strange thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and suddenly asked Wang Xu: "Gongzi Wen is a local?" ”
Wang Xu nodded and said: "Yes, his family is still a little thin, but the family is too thin, only a seriously ill mother, who will go home every day to serve the sick, and seeing his mother's appearance, it seems that he will not survive this year, so he does not plan to participate in this imperial examination." ”
"So, even if he gets the first place, he won't live in Devon House."
