Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Answer
Gu Chengyu walked out of the door of the examination room, took the tea ink waiting outside, and went straight to the teahouse to wait.
"Childe! The ledger has been sent to the inn, I'll let Mingmo look at it! ”
"Business in the shop is okay, right?" In fact, Gu Chengyu just asked one more sentence, and when others hadn't arrived in Fucheng, they heard others say that the dishes in Juxianglou were very special, and they were the only ones in the whole city, and even the capital might not have them.
"Of course business is good! But thanks to the care of Lord Tongzhi, otherwise there would have been a ruffian coming to the door, and the cattle shopkeeper has been busy recently! As soon as Mingmo talked about Juxianglou, his mouth couldn't be closed, the dishes inside were really delicious, and when he went there at noon, it was already full.
"However, other restaurants have also launched similar dishes as ours, but they are not as authentic as ours. Yipinzhai's business seems to be a little worse than before, I heard that there are other pastry shops to imitate, and it is cheaper than ours! Mingmo brought the worry of the shopkeeper Niu and the original words of the shopkeeper of Yipinzhai to Gu Chengyu.
"Oh? Has someone imitated the cake? Gu Chengyu frowned, it stands to reason that it should be impossible to imitate it in such a short period of time! The dishes of the restaurant, unless you can't find the ingredients inside, it is not uncommon for them to be imitated after a long time.
Juxianglou is a new product launched a month, and it has been at the forefront, that is, other restaurants want to imitate, it also takes time, and it is not as delicious as Juxianglou. Besides, in the back, he will take out the food that Dayan Chao has never eaten, and be the first person to eat crabs, are you afraid that you won't be able to make a lot of money?
"There is no cake, but other pastries have been imitated, medicinal pastries, and other models have been produced by the shop, but the shopkeeper of Yipinzhai asked someone to buy it and taste it, and the taste is not very good!"
"Are there more people who buy more expensive pastries?" Yipinzhai takes the boutique route, but it also sells some pastries that people can afford, which are relatively simple.
"That's not it, it's just that the cheap ones are sold for less than the original!" These are all written in the account book, as long as Gu Chengyu looks at the account book, he can see which one sells the best!
"This is also normal, our shop is made of real materials, tastes good, and the price is naturally more expensive, so we can't let our family do all the business in this world, right? It is understandable that they will pick a cheap shop to buy, you tell Shopkeeper Jiang that he doesn't have to worry. After a while, I will do an activity, which is what I asked him to do before, and it will be done, so you don't have to worry about no business! ”
As long as the big family buys it, the rest is a small profit, he can't let other pastry shops lose their livelihood, right?
The name of Yipinzhai has been played, Gu Chengyu will not worry about no business, he will make high-quality products if he wants to do it. However, he lowered his head and thought for a while, this time he came to Fucheng, and the relationship between Wang and Zhizhi still had to be closer.
"Seiyu! You know you're in for a treat! Sun Xian walked in from outside, sweating profusely, and was wiping his sweat with a handkerchief. Gu Chengyu was sharp-eyed and found that the handkerchief Sun Xian was holding in his hand was a moon-white muslin cloth, and green bamboo was embroidered on it, wasn't the embroidery method of green bamboo his second sister's craftsmanship?
Sun Xian noticed Gu Chengyu's gaze, and hurriedly put the handkerchief back into his sleeve pocket a little embarrassed.
Gu Chengyu smiled, unmarried men and women give each other, isn't that normal? Last time, he saw a hairpin on his second sister's head that he didn't buy! The silver hairpin is not the handiwork of the family at first glance, although it is not valuable, but it can also be seen that it was picked with heart, which is very suitable for her second sister's age.
"It's so hot that you can't come in to escape the heat? Senior Brother Sun is sure this time? Gu Chengyu knew that with Sun Xian's knowledge, he should be able to get by.
While the two were talking, He Shunian and Ye Zhiqiu also came in.
"This exam is really difficult, I don't know if I did the right two arithmetic questions, let's get the answers right! How much did you fill in? As soon as He Shunian entered the door, his face became sad.
In the last game, because the poem was not done well, he was already hanging behind the list, if the arithmetic problem was wrong again this time, wouldn't he have to wait for another three years? It's really unwilling! It's all the last one.
"Seiyu! How much do you write? Ye Zhiqiu saw them talking about this, and he was not sure if his answer was right.
"The first question, I wrote eight hundred and three words for pears, one hundred and nine hundred for fruits, and the answer to the second question is three lamps, what about you?" Gu Chengyu is still a little confident in the answers to the two questions, he has calculated three times, and all he got is one answer, so it shouldn't be wrong.
"Huh? I wrote 834 pears, 166 fruits, and the second question I wrote five, we are different! What about you? He Shunian shouted, and when he heard that Gu Chengyu's answer was different from his, his heart suddenly became nervous.
"The answer is the same as Chengyu, I am." Ye Zhiqiu was relieved to hear that Gu Chengyu had the same answer as him. Both of them have the same answer, so there should be more chances of a right match, right? Besides, that person is Gu Chengyu! He was very confident in Gu Chengyu.
"My answer to the first question is the same as theirs, only the second question I also wrote five lamps, it seems to be wrong." Sun Xian's thoughts were the same as Ye Zhiqiu's, and he thought that his second question was indeed wrong.
He Shunian's face was a little pale at this moment, but he still had hope in his heart, could it be that they were wrong?
Gu Chengyu and on the way back, He Shunian looked a little depressed, and his mood was heavy.
"Senior Brother He, the list will be released tomorrow, whether it is right or wrong, we have not yet decided, don't think too much about it at this time, we will only know when the list is released tomorrow!" Gu Chengyu couldn't look at it, so he went up to comfort him.
"I know, it's a big deal to come back in three years, but I just think it's a pity that it's the last one!" He Shunian said with a smile.
In fact, he knew in his heart that he would definitely not be able to pass this exam, so how could the imperial examination be so easy? His father also said that it is already great to be able to pass the government examination at his age. It's just that he has always been with people like Gu Chengyu who are talented in reading, so his confidence will be hit.
Sun Xian was also very worried in his heart, he made a mistake in arithmetic, and the poems in the back must not be wrong, otherwise he would be hanging this time.
Sun Xian opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but Gu Chengyu glanced at him, and suddenly came to his senses, only then did he realize that He Shunian's mood was already very low, and it was no longer suitable to ask at this time.
Several people were not in the mood to eat in the hall anymore, so they all ordered food to go back to the room to eat. When Gu Chengyu returned to the room, he saw Ming Yan and the two ledgers on the table.
"Childe! This is the profit of the pastry shop and restaurant in three months, and I also invite the son to look at it. Ming Yan said to the son who came in.
The exam has already been passed, and Gu Chengyu is relaxed. He sat down at the table, and then looked at the ledger carefully.
