Chapter Forty-Eight: All Things Are Ready

Watching Xue Weihai leave, Song Kai stood in a daze, pondering for a long time.

Song Kai likes his current life, maybe he has a little less privileges, but after all, he is comfortable, and he will make the store bigger in the future, and when he opens in Chang'an City, he can still see Liu Yuchan.

As an official, you need to be an official's wisdom and responsibility, now is a troubled time, a careless, standing on the wrong team, losing your head is a matter of minutes.

Song Kai's history is not good, or in other words, he has not deliberately studied the history of the Tang Dynasty, but just coped with the exam and knew some general events, at this level, don't want to change the course of history.

Shaking his head, Song Kai squatted down and continued to carve mahjong.

After a while, I heard a wail from the front: "I forgot! I'm going to learn arithmetic! โ€

It was Li Menghan's cry, and there was a bit of excitement in the wail.

Hearing this voice, Song Kai laughed, and the depression in his heart was swept away, no matter which way he goes, it would be good to make his friends happy and bring changes to the people around him.

Not long after, Li Menghan ran into the backyard in a long skirt.

"What to do? It's all you, Song Kai! Tell me, it's okay what you're writing on my homework paper! It's so bad that I'm going to learn your ghost talismans," Li Menghan pouted, her round little face was very cute, although she was complaining, but there was still a little joy in her voice, she was a smart girl, she could learn more knowledge, she naturally liked it.

Song Kai looked at Tian Sรจ and said: "When you go back, I will tell you that antique father, just say that this is called Olaber operation, in fact, it is the same thing as Chinese characters, but it is just a symbol, as for the fork or something, it is just a code name, this is called the substitution method, as long as you master the operation of this substitution method, no matter what arithmetic problem is, you can get it immediately." โ€

Li Menghan nodded, "What you said, I'm afraid that my father has already seen it, and he asked me to come here today just to let me ask you the rules of operation." โ€

"This ...... You can come back again, just say that you can't learn it in a short time, and you can continue to play," Song Kai laughed.

When Li Menghan heard this, he jumped up, made a grimace at Song Kai, and left with a group of teenage children.

The children didn't want to go, they had to take a pair of mahjong home and play by themselves, of course Song Kai didn't agree, no matter how much gold they sold, they wouldn't sell it, which was a magic weapon to attract customers after rรฌ.

In the evening, after dinner, Nie Lingdang pulled Song Kai to play chess.

Zhao Tieshan also wants to play mahjong, but unfortunately Nie Lingdang is reluctant to be with him, mainly because this person is too bragging, and his skin is too thick, so he seized the opportunity to give Nie Lingzhong courtesy, what is Nie Ling's identity, the more he listens to Zhao Tieshan's bragging, the more he wants to slap this product to death.

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting after two years, do you want to go and have fun," Song Kai asked while playing chess in the room.

"Poetry Society? What's the fun? I don't know how to compose poems, I can only write a few limerick poems," Nie Ling came out of the horse, and he also pinned the horse's legs.

Song Kai smiled and said: "You are the author of the water tune song head, and your Nie Hong's name must have spread throughout the Tang Dynasty." โ€

Nie Ling was about to continue jumping off the horse, but when he heard Song Kai's words, his eyes lit up and he said, "That's right!" Song Kai, you write me another poem, and when the time comes, I will also show off at the poetry meeting. โ€

"Okay, if you become a talent, you have to vote for Qiu Yue, she is the spokesperson of our inn," Song drove out of the general, "General!" โ€

"No, come again! You tempted me to speak, and you distracted me...... That's natural, but I'm going to have to pretend to be a man again. Nie Ling re-arranged.

"Haha, being a talented woman doesn't have the right to vote," Song Kai stood up, "Don't play, I'm really sleepy, I have to get up early tomorrow for morning training, unlike you, I can sleep lazy." โ€

"You're really boring, go, remember, send me a poem."

With that, Nie Ling went out of the room.

The next day, when Song Kai came back from morning training, he heard from Chang Sheng that an official came to find Song Kai.

After Song Kai hurriedly washed and changed his clothes, he walked to the front hall, and the front hall was noisy, mainly because Li Menghan took her younger brothers and sisters to play mahjong again.

There was a man standing in the hall, dressed in formal clothes and behaving well, and at a glance it was clear that he was a person who had come for business, not to chat and eat.

Song Kai walked over, arched his hand towards the man, and said, "In Xia Song, it is the owner of this Hongchen Inn." โ€

"Song Lang is fine, I am a doctor of scriptures in Benzhou, and I am in charge of the size of this Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting," the man was about forty years old, very modest, and courteous to Song Kai.

Another doctor!

Song Kai felt that he was a level lower, he was just a master's degree, and he was short of breath in front of others, but he actually understood that although he was a doctor, but in the Tang Kingdom, this position was only from the ninth grade, which was the lowest official rank, and this was also in Suzhou City.

Song Kai let Chang Sheng serve tea.

The person on the other side was very modest, and he didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Song Lang, I heard that the tea in your inn tastes very good, and Song Lang is willing to supply tea at a low price to sponsor this poetry meeting, and I thank Song Lang for his generosity on behalf of the organizer." โ€

"Where, where," Song Lang waved his hand, "the price is absolutely low, and besides, our inn gives away a free tea basket, which can be regarded as a contribution to the poetry club." โ€

"Very good, I will have someone come and get tea," the man stood up and took his leave.

"I sure I won't miss a big deal," Song Kai waved his hand.

"Shopkeeper, are we too much of a loss," Chang Sheng walked over with a pot of tea.

"Why?" Song Kai was puzzled.

"Tea is not profitable, let's also send tea baskets, I saw it, the tea baskets are very jฤซng, I'm afraid that a lot of money, if there is a table to set one, then there must be fifty or sixty?" Chang Sheng was a little distressed.

Song Kai laughed and patted Chang Sheng's shoulder, he liked Chang Sheng's employees who took the store as their home.

"Don't worry, the more you do it, the better the service of our inn," Song Kai smiled.

Chang Sheng cried with a sad face, unable to understand Song Kai's words, he had to hang his head and walk to the counter, there was a tea basket on the counter, this tea basket was made of bamboo pieces, the size of a palm, in the shape of a lantern, taking advantage of the gorgeous rice paper inside, and the outside was painted with a simple landscape figure painting, in the painting in the distance is the continuous mountains and rivers, near the pavilion water pavilion, two middle-aged men are playing in the pavilion, and there is a pretty maid next to him boiling water to cook tea.

How much does this one cost, it is estimated that it will cost at least 100 Wen!

Chang Sheng muttered in his heart, shook his head and left.

Nie Ling checked the accounts and found that the business had improved significantly yesterday and today, and she couldn't help but smile smugly, this is just the beginning, just wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, Hongchen Inn will definitely be more prosperous, well, the new dishes developed, it seems that it is time to show your eyebrows.

At night, Nie Ling and Song Kai sat opposite each other in the room, with a chessboard on the table and a plate of pine eggs next to it.

Nie Lingzhong stared at the Songhua egg, his eyes showing a little doubt, "Can you really eat this jet black?" Won't be poisoned. โ€

Song Kai pursed his lips, "It's not poisoned, but I really don't know the taste of ancient people...... Well, it's us, can we get used to it? โ€

Saying that, Song Kai tasted a piece first, and the taste was okay, but Yan sรจ was a little too much, it would be good to have jade transparent, it should be the reason why the time was almost hot, although it was quickly pickled, but it also took more than ten days, I believe that when I take it out the day after tomorrow, Yan sรจ and the taste should be better.

Seeing that Song Kai had no signs of poisoning, Nie Lingdang also tasted it carefully, frowned, and said: "The taste, it's okay, but it's not delicious, why develop this dish." โ€

"This kind of dish is the most difficult to replicate, enough for those people to study for a period of time, there is a buffer period for this period of time, plus these new tricks on our inn, it should be able to make the inn completely bigger." Song Kai laughed happily, as long as Nie Lingdang also said that it was okay, this pine flower egg, he really made it for a long time to succeed.

The two of them continued to play chess, chatting about homely things.

"Have you written me my poem?" Nie Ling didn't take it seriously, and completely regarded Song Kai as a genius in poetry.

"It's done, homesick, I'll give it to you tomorrow," Song Kai took another bite of Songhua eggs.

"Well, when the war in the Holy City is over, let's go there and open a shop," Nie Ling's topic jumped far away, "This county lord covers you." โ€

"I'm not going, when I get there, don't say that you don't adapt to the water and soil, just say you, you can't bully me to death," Song Kai played chess.

Nie Ling's hand paused, and then stood up suddenly, "Don't pull it down!" Who is rare. โ€

After saying that, he twisted his ass and walked away quickly.

Song Kai was stunned, what's going on, how can this girl say that she will turn her face?

However, I was finally able to get an early night's sleep......

In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived.
