Xiao Shi said emotionally: "Second sister, don't worry!" The dean said that I have a talent for reading, and also said that in the children's examination next year, although there is no guarantee of ranking, I will definitely be able to pass! Second sister, you just wait to be a Xiucai sister! ”

Xiao Shi, who is only seven years old, already has his own plans. He knew that his family had bought a lot of arable land in the town and rented it to tenants to plant. According to the current speed of making money for the second sister, she will definitely buy more fields and buy more industries in the future. He was young and in the study stage, so he couldn't help much. But if he is admitted to Xiucai, it will be different, then the family's fields and industries will not have to pay taxes and can save a lot of money!

He doesn't seek to become famous as a teenager, he doesn't want to be the first to take the case or anything, and he doesn't want to be famous. I just want to take the exam as soon as possible and share my family's worries. In the future, I will be down-to-earth and work hard to get good results in the township examination.

A roast chicken and a salted duck are more than enough to eat for a four-and-a-half-year-old child. Xiaoshi also invited a few good friends to enjoy it together. Seeing that the little naughty girl who was still rolling in the mud when she first crossed over has grown into a little scholar who has advanced and retreated, and has her own circle of friends, Yu Xiaocao felt extremely gratified.

Several children ate happily and were full of praise. Zhao Datong, one of Yu Fu's friends, was born in a salt merchant family and is not a bad man. He asked Xiao Shi in a low voice: "Yu Xing, the roast chicken and duck that your family ordered a few days in advance?" My dad is troublesome, so he only occasionally orders that one, and he may not be able to eat it once a month! ”

Xiao Shi thought about it for a while, felt that friends should be open to each other, and explained: "My family has a good relationship with the three young people in Zhenyulou, and there is no need to queue up to buy roast chicken from their house!" ”

The little fat grandson Runze shouted with envy and hatred: "What? So awesome?? After that, we want to eat roast chicken, can we get rid of you or the second sister to help buy it? ”

Xiao Shi said with some hesitation: "It's okay once in a while." After all, the sales of roast chicken and osmanthus duck in Zhenyulou are too hot, and the quantity produced every day is limited, and they are all scheduled to go out. ”

After all, Liu Jinhui is two years older, and he is more steady in his speech and deeds. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Yu Xing is right! It can only be done occasionally, otherwise, no matter how big the love is, it will be polished! ”

"Hey, hey! Needless to say, I know that! After eating it once in ten days and half a month, I was satisfied. If I eat it often, when Xiu Mu comes home, my mother will punish me for running with weights when she sees that I am fat again. Tired people!! Sun Runze's mother dislikes him for being fat, and always thinks about letting him lose weight. This made him very helpless!

Situ Qing was young, and he couldn't hide the question in his heart, and while gnawing on chicken wings, he asked curiously: "Yu Ying, isn't your family farming?" How did you know the third young master of the Zhou family? ”

The others also wanted to know, but they were afraid that Yu Xing would be unhappy when they asked, so they were embarrassed to speak. Hearing this, even the chicken and duck meat in his hand stopped, and a pair of eyes looked straight at Yu Fu.

The second sister often taught him that his status can be changed through his own efforts. Although their family is from a poor background, they must not look down on themselves, and the environment is just a kind of tempering in their growth. Don't look at their family is just a farmer now, he firmly believes that through his own efforts and his family's efforts, he will be able to become an existence that others envy and look up to! Historically, it is not uncommon for poor students to win the top prize, isn't it?

Yu Jian smiled at them calmly and said, "My father is good at fishing and hunting, and the prey and high-quality seafood he caught before are all sent to the Zhenyu Building. After coming and going, it became ripe. Later, our family's early-maturing vegetables were only supplied to one of their restaurants. Maybe looking at this kind of affection, Zhen Yulou will make an exception for us, right? ”

Xiao Shi knew very well in his heart that many of the signature delicacies in Zhenyulou were the credit of the second sister. But the reason why the second sister would do this is too mysterious, he doesn't want too many people to know, lest there be trouble.

His explanation did not arouse the suspicion of his friends. After all, in the early spring, only Zhen Yulou launched the frighteningly high price of green leafy vegetables, and the Tang Gutu, who ate radish cabbage and meat for a winter, was fresh, and a plate of small green vegetables for a few taels of silver could not be eaten every day. Maybe it's an emotional offensive that makes the Yu family stop selling vegetables to other restaurants?

At this time, Yu Xiaocao didn't know that the little brother racked his brains in order to cover her. She was sitting in the reserved private room of the Zhenyu Building, and in front of her, in addition to the little county king, she was also sitting looking at her expectantly.

Here's the thing. After coming out of Rongxuan Academy, it was already close to noon. Yu Xiaocao led the master and servant of the little county king, and walked all the way to the Zhenyu Building. It just so happened that I was busy on Wednesday today, drinking tea in the private room of the store. When he heard that Yu Xiaocao was here, he was overjoyed, and he was about to discuss things with Yu Xiaocao!

After inviting Yu Xiaocao and his party into the private room, Wednesday Shao found that the king of Yangjun, who was in the limelight in the capital, was also there. Why is the king of Yangjun in the limelight? First, the imperial court released a message that the king of Yangjun lived up to expectations and brought back high-yield and drought-tolerant corn seeds and potato seeds, which were rewarded by the emperor. Second, he brought back from overseas many exquisite objects that were not available in the Central Plains, such as table clocks that could tell the time, beautiful enamel utensils, and exquisite ivory carvings...... The treasure house placed under his name was sold, and it was very popular. Third, the king of Yangjun got an early-maturing watermelon out of nowhere a while ago, which set off a wave of rush buying in the capital. In short, the topic of conversation in the capital now mainly revolves around the man of the year King Yangjun.

After a salute, the three of them took their seats one after another. Yu Xiaocao spoke first: "I thought that Wednesday was missing you, and you are currently busy in the capital!" How do you have time to go back to Tanggu? ”

"In recent years, there has been no major construction work for the royal family, so there is not much demand for timber. The Zhou family has its own timber breeding base, so there is no need to worry about this. This month's dried fresh has also been handed over. The second branch of Zhenyulou in the capital has also officially opened...... "Wednesday Shao had something in his heart, so he explained it very clearly.

Zhu Junyang was slightly surprised in his heart, raised his eyes and glanced at the future head of the Zhou family, and said in his heart: What is the purpose of this guy saying this to Yu Xiaocao? However, he didn't detect any malice from Zhou Zixu, so he lowered his eyes again, stared at the cup in front of him, and said, "Tea!" ”

Yu Xiaocao comprehended the tea in front of him and sent it to the mouth of the big Buddha. Zhu Junyang blew the foam on the top of the cup gracefully, took a sip gently, and nodded at Yu Xiaocao.

Zhou Zixu watched Xiaocao skillfully serve King Yangjun to drink tea, and it wasn't until she put down the cup that he looked at her with a little surprise. When did Yu Xiaocao, who talked to him unceremoniously and often fried his hair, become so well-behaved? Don't...... Is it the king of Yangjun who oppresses people with power?

Zhu Junyang sensed the meaning of the other party's inquiry from the gaze of the future head of the Zhou family, but continued to sit with his eyes down, looking unfathomable.

Yu Xiaocao smiled, pretending not to see Zhou Shao's surprised appearance, and said, "San Shao, your Zhou family's industry, you don't need to report to me, and it has nothing to do with me!" ”

Wednesday nodded and said, "The Zhou family's industry has nothing to do with you, but Zhenyulou has a lot to do with you." The treasure house in the capital is in a little trouble and needs your help. ”

Now Yu Xiaocao was surprised: "The treasure house in the capital? I've only been to Fucheng for the farthest time, and I can't help the affairs of the capital. Sanshao, are you looking for the wrong person? ”

Zhu Junyang also raised his eyes and glanced at Zhou Zixu again, Zhenyulou has a problem in the capital, what's the use of finding a little girl in the countryside? If you want to find a backer with status like him!

"I'll just get to the point!" Wednesday glanced at the king of Yangjun, gritted his teeth, and said, "Our osmanthus duck has met an opponent!" The time-honored restaurant 'Defeng' in Beijing has a new kind of 'roast duck in the oven', the skin is bright and crispy, the meat is white and delicate, the taste is delicious, fat but not greasy. And I also learned our 'hunger marketing', which is sold in limited quantities every day, and the price is a little higher than our osmanthus duck, but it is still in short supply. Pulled a lot of customers from Zhenyulou over, and the sales of osmanthus duck plummeted! ”

It turned out that I had met a competitor in the business! She remembered that the "Old Peking Duck" in her previous life boasted that it had been passed down for thousands of years, could it be from now on? This oven roast duck may be the predecessor of the family.

Make roast duck, she's good at it! In her previous life, when she was selling braised vegetables, she specially went to learn how to make fruit wood roast duck. This is not difficult, the main thing is the preparation of a stove, heat and spices. Fruit wood roast duck belongs to hanging oven roast duck, and stewed oven roast duck has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The roast duck in the hanging oven has less subcutaneous fat, crispy skin and tender meat, and also has a fruity flavor; The fat and moisture loss of the roasted duck in the oven is less, the meat is more tender, and the duck breast meat is like a steamed bun just out of the pot, soft and soothing. She not only knows how to roast duck with fruit wood, but also with crispy roast duck with flowers and vegetables. She didn't believe it, the roast duck technology that combines the food culture of thousands of years in the world can not compare to a roast duck in the oven that has just started?

Wednesday Shao looked at Yu Xiaocao, who bowed his head and pondered, anxiously moved his chair, leaned forward, and said: "Xiaocao, do you see if there is any new recipe that can compete with roast duck, according to the standard of osmanthus duck, the time limit will be extended to twenty years for you." What do you think? ”

According to the current sales of osmanthus ducks, she can divide at least two or three thousand taels of silver a month, and more than 30,000 yuan a year. If it's roast duck, it shouldn't be much less than this. Wednesday is very sincere, extended for ten years, ten years of dividends is not a small number!

"I know a recipe for roasting duck with fruit wood, first of all, build a big fireplace, and the heat must be even." As she spoke, she wrote down the principles of building a fireplace on a piece of paper, drawing and explaining.
