Chapter 265: The Protégé and the Master (I)

When Fan Jin's people entered the city, the first place they went to was naturally the Zheng family, and if they were far away, they could smell the smell wafting out of the Zheng family. To tell the truth, although fried liver is a food invented by Fan Jin for the Zheng family and his son, no matter how it is, it is only a snack, and it cannot be compared with the delicious delicacies eaten in Baoming Temple or even the imperial food above. And the taste of the preparation stage of fried liver is not too good, and the aroma is just that. This is just like the Zheng family's small quadruple set, no matter how carefully renovated, it is not as magnificent and majestic as Baoming Temple.

But smelling the smell of fried liver and looking at this small quadruple set, Fan Jin's heart felt a sense of steadiness. It seems that some time ago, the wine and food were readily available, and the life of famous and noble women could also be given by themselves is a beautiful dream, and only everything in front of you is real.

The pedestrians in a hurry, the dirty children, are more alive than the noble beauties with red walls and green tiles. The dirty-faced children were holding mixed noodles and dry food near Zheng's house, smelling the fragrance and taking a bite of the dry food. This kind of smell is not very good for Fan Jin, but for these children from poor families, it is the most beautiful taste.

When I came to the door, I saw the Zheng family's girl standing at the door with her waist crossed, scolding a thin little boy opposite: "Stay away from my house!" Look at how dirty you are, you dare to get together in front of our house, and when you look back, people think that my fried liver has been touched by you, who dares to buy it? ”

"No...... No, I mean ......"

"You want to smell dry food, don't you? Beautiful you. Stand far away, really, I don't have any eyesight, I have to be able to ask for food, you can't even say anything to ask for you, what are you? ”

"Stinky girl, you don't wash your face again, it's fun to train people like a briquette, isn't it? Child, don't be afraid of her, if you go over there, if she dares to train you, I will discipline her. ”

The boy raised his head and looked at the tall Fan Jin, his eyes fell on his clothes, and he hurriedly retreated: "Master...... You're a master...... "The look of fear on his face was as if he had seen a youkai, and he took a few steps back and turned around, and then ran away without a shadow at a trot.

The girl had already rushed over at this time, grabbed Fan Jin's sleeve and said, "Master Fan...... No, it's Fan Dayuan now. Are you coming back to pick up something this time, or are you not leaving? ”

"Don't go, I'm done with my business, I'm back to live. By the way, I'll teach your brother to cook something else, you can't just fry the liver."

"Great, Master Fan is back, Master Hui is back!" The little girl jumped excitedly and ran all the way to the inner courtyard, looking as if she had regarded Fan Jin as her own family. Fan Jin also noticed that the courtyard of the Zheng family was a little different from when he left, there were a lot of cannon skins outside the gate, and there should have been a lot of firecrackers before. There are two more pieces of red paper on the left and one right of the door frame, and a couplet is pasted on it: "Yumen three waves, a thunder on the ground."

This was originally a provincial champion and posted on the front door of the hall, and it was a bit nondescript to stick it in the Zheng family. However, the Zheng family is not a scholarly family, and if they make this kind of mistake, no one will pick on them, and no one will be as knowledgeable as them.

Hearing the news of Fan Jin's return, the people in the courtyard also came out and said hello to Fan Jin. The little girl excitedly took out trays of firecrackers one after another, and set up a long snake formation at the head of the door, which was roughly estimated to be around 100,000 rings. The little girl who had set up the cannon fight took the whip stick and wanted to go to order the medicine twist, but the incense was taken away by Fan Jin and handed over to Fan Zhigao, although so, the little girl did not feel wronged, but laughed more happily.

In the sound of firecrackers, Fan Jin and his servants recounted the situation to each other. It's not a big deal for each other. On the day of the release of the list, someone with good news came to Zheng's house and notified Fan Jin of the news of the high school meeting, and Fan Zhigao rewarded ten taels of silver on behalf of Fan Jin. After that, there were a few invitations to send over, but the words were not very sincere, and it was a matter of whether to go or not. As for Zhang Juzheng, he ignored Fan Jin, the Huiyuan, and didn't have any news.

Everything is fine on the Zheng family's side, Fan Jin provides the capital and creativity, Zheng Guotai is responsible for contributing, and occasionally the servants of the Fan family will also help. At present, the Zheng family's snacks already have regular diners, and although the income is not too much, it has seen hope.

As soon as he arrived in Beijing, Fan Jin found that most of the local foods he liked in his previous life had not yet appeared, leaving him a lot of room for development. A lifter can't go to the street to set up a stall to sell stewed and fried liver, this kind of thing must find a spokesperson.

At Fan Jin's current point, he can no longer see the money he makes from setting up a food stall, and it doesn't help much. The purpose of his promotion of these foods, on the one hand, is to satisfy his appetite, and on the other hand, it is also to make an attempt to see if those capital delicacies in the future can be accepted by the lords of the Forty-Nine Cities at present. If you can, you can carry out the next action and open a big restaurant in Jingshi.

After Fan Jin taught the Zheng family, he promoted it through the relationship between the Li family and Qian Caiyin. After all, if it weren't for Fan Jin's face, how could the Li family speak for such food.

However, whether the market is open or not, the key is to see yourself. Human affection and face can only be maintained for a while, not for a lifetime, and things are not good in vain. Fan Jin has tasted the fried liver made by the Zheng family, compared with what he ate in his previous life, it is not good, and it is not comparable to those century-old shops and time-honored brands, but it is also medium, but I don't know how it is in Daming now.

In fact, from the Ming to the Qing Dynasty, no matter how the dynasties changed, the gap in people's eating habits would not change significantly. The food that could be on fire in the Qing Dynasty would not be bad in the Ming Dynasty. And compared with the high price of Jingshi, fried liver is economical, and it really meets the needs of the people.

Zheng Chengxian is not in good health and cannot operate it personally, and now it is mainly Fan Jin's two servants who help prepare, and Zheng Guotai is in charge of sales. This young man, who was not very in tune, improved somewhat after Fan Jin talked to him once. As for whether Fan Jin's words are easy to use, or the notoriety of Dongchang is easy to use, there is no way to judge.

After the news of Fan Jin's high school meeting spread widely, the business of fried liver was even better. After all, Zheng Ji's signature for fried liver is written by Fan Jin, as well as his signature. The big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance are already making people look happy, and now with the title of Huiyuan, the value of these four words has suddenly risen a hundred times, and many people are simply for the title of Huiyuan, and they also want to taste this so-called heartless food.

Zheng Chengxian was about to kneel when he saw Fan Jin, but Fan Jian hurriedly hugged him. "Old man Zheng, what are you doing?"

"Master Fan, you are the great benefactor of the villain's family, and the villain really doesn't know how to repay you. first helped the villain keep the house, and then gave the villain this craft to settle down, with this fried liver, Cathay Pacific will not starve, and the family has an income. During this time, the two noble servants contributed to the efforts, and the reputation of Master Fan was damaged, and everyone met in Pingshui and had no relationship, you did so much for the villain, it is really ......, even if you are broken, you can't repay your kindness. Let the villain kowtow a few times, and his heart will be more peaceful. ”

"Don't be so polite, it's nothing more than a gesture, we live together, it's fate, don't be polite. If there is any difficulty, just say, within the power of the power, will do the best. ”

Guan Qingdao said: "Owner, there is another interesting thing here, the Shandong student named Zhou Jin, he also came to help sell fried liver." Although he is a scholar and can't pull his face down to do business, he is willing to help keep accounts and settle accounts, saying that he wants to repay the kindness of the owner. ”

Fan Zhigao said: "That's as it should be, Uncle Nine spent dozens of taels of silver for his fame, and he doesn't have a beautiful girl to warm Uncle Nine's feet, so it's right to do these things." By the way, Uncle Nine, that Qian family also sent someone to look for you twice, thinking that Uncle Nine was sick, but later I learned that you had something to go out, I don't know what she thought in her heart, do you want to go and see? In fact, if you want me to say, it's better to help everyone with money than to help Zhou Jin, although everyone is a little older, but the appearance is okay, what does Zhou Jin have? ”

"It should be you!" Fan Jin flew up and kicked Fan Zhigao to the kitchen, greeted Zheng Chengxian, and said: "I don't know what the arrangement will be in the future, if it is Jingtang, I will naturally live in the courtyard of the old man's house." If it's a foreign appointment, you have to move out. If those pimples come to make trouble again, you just have to find Xu Xiaoye to come forward, and if you can't do it, go to Baoming Temple to find a Mrs. Li, just say that she is a friend of Fan Jin, and she will help you. ”

"Master Fan is really thoughtful, and the villain thanked him first. You are really my family's reborn parents and reinvent my father, you have thought of all the places, but unfortunately my family is like this, there is really nothing to repay your kindness, you can only burn a few more pillars of incense, kowtow a few more. Master Fan rest assured, you will definitely be able to put Jingtang, you are Huiyuan, that is you must enter the Hanlin Academy, in a few years, you can be the prime minister like the Jiangling Prime Minister, and then you will be the South China Sea Prime Minister. ”

The little girl of the Zheng family danced beside her and said: "Master Fan has become the prime minister, so can our family also be called the Prime Minister's Mansion?" When the time comes, I will be a doorman, and whoever wants to enter our house must give me a red envelope first. ”

Fan Jin said with a smile: "Little clever ghost, I will definitely use you as a disciple when the time comes." But ah, you are empty and rejoice. It is the champion who enters the Hanlin Academy, not the Huiyuan. The day of the palace examination has not yet arrived, and who can say whether you can win the champion. ”

"I won the first place in the general examination, and the palace examination must be the first place. Pity...... Sister Gui left, otherwise she could cook a few dishes tonight and congratulate Master Fan. ”

Fan Jin shook his head and said, "There is no need for food, I am going to visit my teacher today, and I won't eat here at night." Zhigao, you go and prepare gifts with me, let's go to the door. ”

For worshipping the same year, Fan Jin has no interest, Zhenen can treat himself as a friend in these people, and he can help him in the future, but I am afraid that he will not be able to find a few. But the master of the house, these are the things that must be visited, if you don't worship them, there will be no rules, and there will be no place in the entire officialdom.

Fan Jinzao is Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing, and Fang Shi is Chang Wen Zhida, a member of the Hanlin Academy, who specializes in the Spring and Autumn Period. Although the status of the seat master is more noble than that of the room master, but at the moment, the hour is neither early nor late, and it will not be long to go to the seat master, so I have to sit in the room first and then sit down, and leave dinner time for the seat teacher.

Sour Hanlin is poor, and the official of the Linfang Bureau is the first in the Ming officialdom, but there is no extra income, and it is very difficult to expect Yu Lu to live. When Li introduced him, he also specifically said that Wen Zhida's family was poor and his health was not very good, and he spent countless amounts just to see a doctor and take medicine in Beijing, and he was making a deficit everywhere. Not counting elsewhere, the debt of the Mahayana sect is nearly thirty taels.

His knowledge is good, but there is no Olympic aid in the officialdom, and the future is bleak. Fan Jin only needs to seal the respect of four taels of silver, which is more than enough. Even in the officialdom in the future, it is difficult to say whether the teacher will take care of the students, or the students will take care of the teacher.

For such a hopeless one, Fan Jin just went through the motions, and after going out, he went straight to Zhang Siwei's mansion. At this time, all the people in the middle school have to come to worship the teacher, and there are many people outside the doors of Zhang and Shen. The disciple worships the protégé, and has always entered through the side door, Fan Jin handed over the name thorn and gave some money. Menzi was very polite to Fan Jin, let him go to the side door, and confessed to him:

"The lord has something to say, he is choosing a pillar for the Son of Heaven, not recruiting a protégé for himself, and most of the people who came to worship the teacher only said two words and left. Now inside, there are a few Zhejiang students such as Shen Maoxue, they have stayed a little longer, please wait, you must stay for dinner. ”

Fan Jin was greeting on his lips, but his thoughts were turning in his heart. Because he had been in contact with some of Zhang Juzheng's relevant records in his previous life, he knew a little about Zhang Siwei. Fan Jin has a very bad view of this, and despises him from the bottom of his heart.

In Fan Jin's view, Zhang Siwei is two-faced and good at greeting, and he has no credibility at all. In the era of high arches, he was protected by high arches, and in the era of Zhang Juzheng, he was introduced by Zhang Juzheng as a confidant, and even recommended Zhang Siwei to take over the first assistant before his death, hoping that he would support a Jiangling party. But just after he took over the position of first assistant and assistant, he decisively lost his sincerity to the Son of Heaven and launched a comprehensive liquidation of the Gangneung Party, which eventually led to the collapse of the entire Gangneung Party. The vigorous Wanli New Deal has also come to an end.

This kind of person can maneuver around all forces and stand alone, and naturally has extraordinary strengths, but his character is absolutely untrustworthy. Just like now, on the surface, he doesn't engage in the protégé master's set, and he can get a selfless evaluation in front of the Son of Heaven and Shousuke. In fact, it is more likely to pursue the principle of preferring shortage to abundance, not to accept those miscellaneous fish, and only focus on cultivating those who he thinks are useful, forming a truly strong alliance, hoping that this part of the disciples will be used for themselves in the future.

Fan Jin's interests are not with Zhang Siwei, and he doesn't like his kind of person. Of course, he won't be so idiotic as to fail this subject because he hates this master, but what attitude he should get along with this master in the future, and what kind of distance he should keep, is something he needs to consider.

Since he wants to be Zhang Juzheng's son-in-law, he is destined to be on the same path as him. But now it's against you, and it's obviously not the right time, you can't tell Zhang Juzheng now, Zhang Siwei is a treacherous villain, if you believe him so much, he will sell you when he turns around. Thinking about it, I also know that such a move has no value except to be treated as a second shortage.

Every time I meet King Wen, I talk about etiquette and music, and every time I encounter a sword, I move a knife and a gun. Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, what kind of master you have, what kind of protégé you have. Fan Jin secretly made up his mind in his heart.

At this moment, a burst of laughter came, and a strong and powerful voice said: "Jundian, people say that Zhejiang's literary style is prosperous and there are many talents. As a teacher, I know how hard you Zhejiang students study hard, and all your talents and learning come from hard study, and there is no trick in it. Doing scholarship is exactly how it should be. In the future, study hard, and if you have any questions, come to the teacher, and we will discuss it together. ”

Fan Jin knew that this must be Zhang Siwei sending the apprentice out, so he hurriedly got up, and at this time, the vermilion main gate slowly opened, several students in front, and a middle-aged official walked out of the gate in the back. Fan Jin watched from the side door, knowing that this medium-sized person with a dignified chest was Zhang Siwei, and for him, it seemed that supplementing a tiger was in line with his identity and personality. People say that they seek skin with tigers, but today they take tigers as their teachers.

Since he has to face the tiger after all, he must show the attitude of facing the tiger, Fan Jin has a bright smile on his face, refreshed, harmless to humans and animals.
