Chapter 117 ! Exam questions are hot!
I don't know if it's because she hasn't been to the town for the night, but at this point in time, there are still many pedestrians on the road who haven't gone home for dinner, and there is an endless stream.
I heard that the restaurant in front of me is the property of a family, and this one in this town is the most expensive and famous restaurant in the town, one of which is a branch.
The sky is slightly dark, the lanterns have been hung in front of the restaurant, a row of lanterns illuminates the whole restaurant under the eaves, two or three hundred meters away is still bright, the red and yellow flashing lanterns and candles are like bright and psychedelic rainbows, which make people see this warm and warm.
There are also two rows of lanterns hanging between the 100 meters on both sides of the restaurant, perhaps to make it convenient for people to come to eat to light the way, or to let people who come by horse-drawn carriage park the carriage on the side.
At this moment, the people in and out of the restaurant are very lively, and there seems to be a lot of people inside, and I don't know why, could it be that the business of this restaurant is very hot?
Puzzled, he stepped forward and came to the door of the restaurant, where two young men stood on the left and right of the door, asking people one or two questions from time to time.
Actually, let the guests line up to enter.
"This... Is this restaurant's business doing so well tonight? Xia Zining muttered in confusion, saying that she had also come here to eat once, and the dishes were really good, but the price was not affordable for ordinary people, when did there be so many 'rich people' in this town?
"Little brother, you're here for the first time, you don't know what's going on tonight?" Maybe it was because he heard Xia Zining's muttering, a twenty-year-old and handsome young man in front of him turned to look at Xia Zining behind him, and his eyes flashed when he saw Xia Zining, as if he didn't expect the young man behind him to be so young.
Xia Zining dressed up in men's clothes for convenience, and when she came to the town today, she wore a silk brocade dress of men's clothes that she bought back from the previous few people, although her face was black and yellow, her temperament was detached and calm, which was difficult to ignore.
"Oh? This boy guessed one or two correctly, he came here a few days ago, but it was the day, and it was the first time he came at night, I don't know what is lively here tonight? Xia Zining learned from the literati and writers of this world, waving his hands and politely asking others.
"The little boy is polite, the contemptible surname is Li." The young man smiled faintly and replied politely, that is, he told Xia Zining, "That's the case, the annual flower viewing festival is not held in a place, the imperial court sent a message, let the Taifu and I each come up with a puzzle to the first prince to hang it in the 'delicious Zhai' restaurant in each town, and the question will be made at the same time and on the same day, if the literati and ink writers in which place give the answer first, where will this year's flower viewing festival be held, and the person who answers the answer can get 10,000 taels to 30,000 taels of 'Delicious Zhai' and a meal as a reward." “
Xia Zining suddenly realized and nodded, so it was, but in an instant, Xia Zining guessed in his mind why the reward was given by this restaurant instead of the imperial court.
The imperial court can put the exam questions in the restaurant, and the restaurant can naturally attract many literati and inkmen to come to eat and read the exam questions and try to answer, and the business is naturally booming these days, which can bring money and fame to the 'delicious food' in various places, so the reward of tens of thousands of dollars is simply the skin.
However, the imperial court can let the "bidding" of "Delicious Zhai" be successful, and it is estimated that "Delicious Zhai" will give the emperor a large amount of "auction" money.
"Well, I don't know how long it takes for the literati to answer this question, is there a time limit?" Xia Zining humbly asked the handsome scholar-like man in front of him.
"For a month." The man replied.
