Chapter 358: Eight-year-old Xiucai

On the fourth day of opening, the prices of various pickled vegetables in the braised vegetable shop returned to their original prices. After a few days of free tastings and half-price sales, the reputation of Yu Kee Marinated Vegetable Shop has completely begun.

Roast chicken fragrant into the bone marrow, smoked chicken with crispy skin and delicate meat, fragrant but not greasy roast duck, salted duck with white and tender skin, fragrant and delicious salted duck, fragrant and delicious smoked sausages with unique flavor, and various colors of braised pork with long fragrance and rich taste...... The most popular is the fragrant and mellow braised pork head meat!

Yu Ji braised vegetable shop has a rich menu and delicious taste. If Zhen Yulou is a food paradise that rich families yearn for, then "Yu Ji Braised Vegetable Shop" is the leader in affordable deliciousness. The middle-class families in Fucheng will go to the braised vegetable shop every few days to pack a braised pork and tooth sacrifice. Even ordinary people who are shy in their pockets, if they have guests at home or every festival, they will grit their teeth and buy some braised vegetables to go back to save face. Even the best people in the city will also send their families to line up to buy Yu Ji's limited-edition products.

Yu Ji's roast duck, roast chicken and salted duck are definitely not inferior in taste, and the price is cheaper. Yu Ji's smoked chicken, smoked duck, smoked rabbit, etc., have a unique taste, and even Zhenyulou can't eat such a delicacy. Unfortunately, these are limited editions, only 10 pieces of each item are sold per day, and reservations are not accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Those rich people who call themselves gourmets, of course, will not miss these delicacies, so they send their subordinates to come and queue up in the middle of the night, bound to buy one back to satisfy their hunger. In a small town like Tanggu, there is no shortage of rich families, let alone a place as big as Fucheng?

The number of limited dishes is limited, there are many people in the city who are not bad for money, and the result is that there are more monks and less meat, and the people who queue up all night in front of Yu Ji Gate appear earlier and earlier, and some even bring quilts to cat in front of the closed Yu Ji Door. These people have become a beautiful scenery in front of Yu Ji's door, even rain and snow days are never stopped.

Those children of the family who think that eating pork is vulgar and not on the table, after accidentally tasting Yu Ji's braised pork, they will also quietly send some people with raw faces to line up in front of Yu Ji's door, and when buying limited dishes, they will bring some braised meat, braised pig's trotters, braised pig's head and other braised vegetables back, close the door and eat secretly.

Yujiaguang braised pork is not enough to sell one pig a day, and two pigs a day before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival are sold out in less than evening. More than 100 pigs in Yujia Pig Farm are estimated to be out of stock in less than the next year. Liu Hu took his eldest son to the villages and towns that had not been affected by the disaster to book and buy live pigs. Their prices are fair and they are expected to cooperate for a long time, and many families are happy to sell pigs to them.

The weather gradually cooled down, and the Yu family was busy, and before they knew it, it was the day of the hospital test list. After Xiaoshi finished the college exam, he caught up with the opening of his own pickled vegetable shop and came to help for a while, and after the store's sales stabilized, Xiaocao drove him back to the academy to continue his study career. Showing talent in the examination is not Xiao Shi's ultimate goal, his goal is to show his talent in the general examination and the palace examination!

After the test list is released, there will be a special person to go to each township to notify, and then the local county government will go to every household to report the good news. Tanggu Town has won thirteen talents in this examination, and two of them have won in the Middle Mountain Village, one is Qian Wen, and the other is Yu Xing! Xiaocao's uncle fell to Sun Shan in the second round of the college exam, but he still didn't get into the exam as Zhang wanted.

Before and after the release of the list, only the aunt and the family were left in the braised vegetable shop, and Yu Hai and Xiaocao returned to Dongshan Village to wait for the news. Although before coming back, the prefect had sent someone to vaguely reveal to them the news that Xiaoshi had passed the exam, but when it came to the day of the release of the list, the family was still anxiously waiting.

It is the head catcher of the county government who came to report the good news, and generally such an errand only needs to send ordinary officials, but there are more than one family among the people who can be examined. Who is the Yu family? That's a person who can speak in front of the lord of Tanggu, King Yangjun, even if he is born with mud legs, but the county commander has to give him three points.

Yue Zhutou can still sit firmly in the position of head catcher after Wu Xianling left, in addition to his outstanding ability, it has a lot to do with his sleek personality. He volunteered to take the news of coming to Dongshan Village to report the good news, and as soon as he entered the village, half of the eldest son stopped him and asked for the news.

Knowing that the eight-year-old youngest son of the Yu family, Shishi, was admitted to Xiucai, a group of boys spread their legs and ran to the Yu family, just the first to report the good news.

The Yu family has become more and more prosperous in recent years, and this year they opened a pig farm, and they don't know what to feed. I heard that the Yu family's braised vegetable shop is doing a hot business in Fucheng, and from killing five or six pigs every other day to send them over, you can imagine how hot the sales are. Even Liu Xuanzhu's family, who has a good relationship with Yu Hai, has been stained, and the chickens raised are not sold at all, and the price given is not lower than that of Zhenyulou.

The Yu family is not the one who picks and searches, and the person who reports the good news will definitely not be stingy!

In the anticipation of the Yu family, Li Xiaogui, the eldest son of Li Yangfan's family in the village, ran into the courtyard of the Yu family out of breath, and before he could even breathe, he opened his throat and shouted: "Uncle Dahai, Xiaoshi has passed the test!" Xiaoshi has been admitted to show talent!! ”

When the old Yu heard this, he burst into tears: the ancestors blessed, and the descendants of the Yu family finally came out. Shi Xu's age is only nine years old, he was admitted to Xiucai, and he is studying in the most famous academy in the town, and his future will definitely not stop here! The Yu family, who has been born with mud legs for several lifetimes, has finally come out with a scholar!!

Liu and Xiaolian hugged each other tightly, crying silently. They are all rejoicing, fortunately, the family split up at that time, otherwise with Zhang's door-picking temperament, it would be impossible to pay for Xiaoshi to study, how can he talk about showing talent in the examination?

Yu Hai was so excited that he didn't know what to do, rubbing his hands and smirking on the side. It was only a while, and the courtyard of the Yu family was already crowded with villagers who came to congratulate him, Yu Hang tried to calm down after a burst of excitement, and took out melon seeds, peanuts, and candy cubes to entertain the people who came to congratulate him.

Yu Xiaocao took out a small purse, which contained one or two silver bills, put them in Li Xiaogui's hand, and expressed his gratitude to him. Out of the door of the Yu family, those half-sized children who were only one step slower than Li Xiaogui saw the fluttering purse, and asked him to open it to see how much reward the Yu family had given. In their opinion, how many copper plates can be put in a flat purse? It's worth fighting hard for these money?

When Li Xiaogui took out a silver peanut-shaped silver coin from his purse, these boys were not calm. Silver! The good news money given by the Yu family is actually silver!! One tael of silver is a thousand copper plates!! The half-sized children hated only their father and mother for giving birth to a pair of short legs, so that the Tao boy Li Xiaogui ran to the front!! For a while, envy, jealousy and hatred, all kinds of emotions were mixed.

At this time, Yue Zhutou had already dismounted in front of the Yu family. Yu Hai, who gradually calmed down his excitement, greeted him and invited Yue Zhutou in for tea. Yue Zhutou laughed haughtily and said, "Yue Mou is big, call you a big brother of the sea!" Brother Dahai, congratulations to you, you have raised a good son, you were admitted to the show at a young age, and you were ranked first-class, and you have become the youngest student in our Tanggu Town! ”

The students who are among the top students in the college examination are about 30 people in the entire prefecture. After obtaining the birth, you can receive six buckets of rice per month, and there are four taels of silver every year. If it is a poor family, these subsidies are enough for the family not to go hungry.

Although these insignificant subsidies are nothing to the Yu family. However, "Disheng" is an honor for them, an honor that the whole family is proud of.

The Yu family sent away a wave of congratulatory people, and ushered in another wave, which was still in an endless stream until the evening. At noon, the Yu family prepared a sumptuous lunch, entertained Yue Zhutou, and stuffed a bulging purse into him, which contained ten taels of silver. Yue Zhutou originally wanted to make friends with the Yu family, but he didn't expect that this trip would make him a small fortune.

The Qian family not far from the next door is also very lively today. A village was admitted to two talents at once, which is unique in Dongshan Village. The last time the person who ushered in the good news was when the youngest son of the village chief's family was admitted to Xiucai 18 years ago, which was the first Xiucai in the history of Dongshan Village. In the past, the village was lucky if no one starved to death, where was there any spare money for scholars? Now, with two shots and two talents, the entire Dongshan Village feels that there is light on their faces, which is enough for them to talk about it for a long time.

A few families are happy and a few are worried, just when the old man is happy in the compliments of a group of old guys, the Zhang family is sad and gloomy.

Zhao didn't think anything, her father also took the exam several times at that time, and it wasn't until he was almost forty that he was admitted to Xiucai. In the disaster year last year, Xianggong's school had a long vacation, and the home was not a study environment, so it was understandable to be delayed. If you don't pass the exam this year, you can continue to take the exam in two years! Zhao's soft comfort made the aftermath of the discouragement reinvigorate again, and he picked up the book and studied hard.

Zhang's mood is extremely bleak, her son has been reading books for more than ten years, and he is not as good as Xiaoshi, a person who has only been in school for more than two years, which makes the obsession in her heart shake a little. At the beginning, the fortune teller said that the Yu family could produce a big official, and at that time, only her old son was studying in the family, and she took it for granted that her son had the destiny to be an official. Now, it seems, not necessarily so!

A sense of unwillingness rose in Zhang's heart, she saw how hard her old son studied in her eyes, especially in the past six months, the lights in his room were almost not extinguished all night, and everyone lost a lot of weight, and he almost didn't stick to it in the examination room.

Little stone, why is that rabbit cub? Every time Xiu Mu came back, he followed Xiaocao's dead girl all over the mountains and ran wildly, catching fish and rabbits, and there was no time to live. God doesn't open his eyes, why did he pass the test, but her old son didn't? Could it be that both of them have the surname Yu, and the official who marked the papers was mistaken? Or...... Is that stinky boy blocking her old son's official luck?
