Since this day, Granny Cao's meat cake shop has been doing a booming business, and the delicious and high-quality meat sandwich buns and spicy soup have become the favorites of the artisans in the market. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Every day, from dawn, there are people queuing up in front of the shop to buy. Even during the lunch break, when the work is done in the evening, many craftsmen come to eat, as if they can't get tired of eating three meals a day.

Granny Cao couldn't work alone, so Ding Butcher's Hun family joined in to experience together, and in addition, she specially invited two middle-aged female workers to help.

On the basis of meat sandwich buns, the store began to sell cured sauce and meat, and many people bought sauce meat to drink at home, or shared it with their wives and children.

Seeing that the business of meat sandwich buns is booming, there are also many food shops on both sides of the Bianhe River to imitate them, but there is no cooking method of bacon meat, which is always tasteless, and it is far from Granny Cao's craftsmanship.

In this way, there is an advantage, that the business of the butchers who sell pork meat is much better, and the butchers of Ding take the lead and naturally make a small profit.

Although pork meat has not yet become elegant, it has gained a firm foothold in the market, and Xue Zong believes that if new ways of eating it are developed, pork meat will definitely become popular in future generations. After all, it is just a small meat bun, and there is only a small place in the broad and profound Chinese diet.

As usual, thirty percent of the profits belong to Xue Zong, who has made great contributions.

In this regard, the two butchers of Ding, Granny Cao and her family have no objections. In their view, the method of cooking bacon is enough to become a family heirloom and a dependence on the survival of generations.

Just like the stir-fry skills of the chefs of Fan Lou and Rendian, they are never passed on. Xue Zong is willing to share the secret recipe of such a treasure, without hiding his selfishness, and the profit of thirty percent is completely deserved.

In this way, the situation of the Xue family, which is poor and white, has also improved accordingly, and life is not so tight, and there is gradually a trend of a well-off family.

Xue Zong naturally didn't want his grandmother to work harder, and persuaded him: "Grandmother, if you have grandchildren at home in the future, you don't have to worry about money and food, don't do embroidery anymore, you are old, you should enjoy your old age in peace." ”

"Okay, Zong'er is promising, grandmother is happy, she has worked hard for most of her life, and she finally has hope!" Xue Mengshi sighed with emotion: "But this embroidery was ordered by Mrs. Shen family, and it has already been ordered, so I have to explain how to finish the embroidery." ”

"Okay, Grandmother will rest when you're done!"

Xue Mengshi nodded and said: "Well, rest, and then I will wait for you to marry a wife, hoping to see your great-grandson when you are alive, and when the time comes, you can still use the needle and thread to embroider tiger shoes for your little great-grandson." ”

"Grandmother will live a long life, and she will be able to do that one day."

"Well, next year, your father's filial piety period will pass, and the marriage can be done as soon as possible."

Xue Zong didn't expect the old grandmother to come to such a sentence, the forced marriage came so suddenly, so early, and immediately said with black lines on his head: "Grandmother, I'm only fifteen." ”

"Sixteen next year, is it still young?" Xue Mengshi said with a heart: "The brother of the Li family at the entrance of the street in front of him is only fourteen, and the child was full of moon the day before yesterday. ”

All right! Xue Zong was speechless for a moment.

Xue Mengshi said: "So, next year when the family has savings, your marriage will have to be hurried." ”

When he heard this, Xue Zong subconsciously glanced at Yun'er in the distance, and always felt strange in his heart.

Seeing this, the old grandmother said: "It turns out that the family is poor, you are too honest, and I am worried that I will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law for you, so I moved this thought."

But now it's different, Yun'er is still young after all, there is no need to let you wait a few more years for nothing, next year I will ask the matchmaker to pay attention to you and find a good girl. ”

"Grandmother, you're in a hurry."

"Family inheritance, incense blood, this is a big deal, if I can't see my great-grandson, how can I leave with peace of mind? How can you explain to your grandfather, father, and the ancestors of the Xue family when you go underground? ”

The old grandmother suddenly rose to the level of whether she could be blind after death, and at the level of family bloodline, Xue Zong was not good at arguing about anything, ancient China paid the most attention to this, from the emperor to the common people.

You don't see, in the palace, the Great Song Emperor Zhao Zhen is diligent in government, and often works the bed of the concubine and the palace maid, isn't it because of this trouble!

"When the time comes... Listen to my grandmother, and then say... Again! "Xue Zong had to fool the past first, and then see what happened!

Anyway, this so-called matchmaker's words, blind marriage and dumb marriage really make people a little worried, in case you marry back a Hedong lion or a saltless woman, life will become a miserable world.

Fortunately, during the filial piety period of his father Xue Pengju, the old grandmother didn't say much, but instead moved other thoughts, planning to let Xue Zong go to school.

"Reading?"

"That's right, the future is as important as the marriage!"

Xue Mengshi said: "Now that the imperial court emphasizes literature over martial arts, although your father has a martial arts, he has not run out of a future, and died young. You can learn martial arts to strengthen your body, you don't have to work too hard, only by studying and entering the office, can you have a bright future. ”

"This ......" When he thought of the way of Confucius and Mencius, Xue Zong couldn't help but be a little big.

Xue Mengshi said: "Although you have made a little money now, it is a trivial trick after all, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, you can't always mix in the market, right?"

My Xue family was Zhong Mingding's family back then, and your father worked so hard to restore the glory of his ancestors, but it's a pity that he ...... Now it's up to you. ”

Belch......

Xue Zong didn't know what to say, indeed, in addition to studying and becoming an official in these years, the status of the market businessmen was indeed low, and it was inevitable that they would be belittled.

What's more, the Xue family also has a powerful ancestor Xue Rengui, and it has become the responsibility of every child of the Xue family to revitalize the family business and restore the glory.

But how easy is it to say?

Xue Rengui was knighted as the Duke of Pingyang County, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, and the military exploits of the Great Song Dynasty were difficult to mix, and if he was a civil official, he could at least get the level of the governor (deputy prime minister), and there was a long way to go!

"Grandmother, but I haven't read for a few days, and my foundation is shallow, so I'm afraid it's a little late to start from scratch now, right?" Xue Zong is not against being an official, but he is studying for the imperial examination......

I didn't want Xue Mengshi to frown and said, "What, I forgot it?" Since I was a child, I taught you to read and write, and you have learned a lot, how can you say that your foundation is shallow? Now that you're smart and sensitive, it's not hard to think about it. ”

Uh, how did you forget about this stubble?

It turns out that the old grandmother taught herself to read and write?! Hey, the Xue family is also rich in truth, and my grandmother is literate, which is probably very rare among women in the market.

That's right, my grandmother is dignified and steady on weekdays, and she teaches Yun'er to be well-behaved and cute, knowledgeable, which shows that she is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, which is different from ordinary village women.

Although I used to know a few words, I also ...... about reading

No matter what Xue Zong thought, the old grandmother was very serious, and said earnestly: "Passing by Kaifeng Mansion today, I saw a notice from the imperial court, the edict will send the descendants of the dead king, and their dependents are raised in the palace.

Your father died on the battlefield and sacrificed his life for the country, and the government has a record, and you are qualified. A few days ago, I heard that the descendants of Di Renjie of the former Tang Dynasty were recruited by the imperial court, and the ancestor of my Xue family, Renguigong, was also a famous minister of the former Tang Dynasty, and you are also a famous family, no worse than the descendants of the Di family. ”

Well, it turns out that there is a powerful ancestor, and there are such benefits!

Xue Mengshi continued: "I heard that the imperial court has opened a new four-door pavilion, and my grandmother has asked someone to go to the government to issue documents, and when the cold food festival is over, you will go to the exam!"
