The braised pig's trotters in Luo Da Niang's pig trotter shop are a must-have in the store, but it also has dozens of other drinks and dishes, and there are as many as seven or eight kinds of drinks alone.

But what really makes diners like it is that Luo Da Niang's pig's trotter shop is relatively wide, in addition to two tables on the first floor, there are also five tables on the second floor, and almost all of them are one-story bungalows in the tiles, and there are only a few two-story houses, most of which are occupied by inns, gambling houses, brothels and other shops, or relatively large restaurants.

Luo Da Niang's pig's trotter shop happened to rent a two-story storefront, which gave the store room to play, so business has been very good.

Everyone went up to the second floor, and Fan Ning saw Cheng Yuanyuan's little maid standing at the door of the store and didn't come in, so he beckoned to her, "This is not home, there is not so much exquisiteness, come up and eat together!" ”

The little maid timidly glanced at the Cheng brothers and sisters, after all, they were their masters.

Cheng Yuanyuan nodded to his brother, and Cheng Ze smiled and said, "Since Fan Xiaoguan has already said it, you can come up!" In the future, it will be like this, and there is no need to talk so much about hypocrisy outside. ”

The little maid went upstairs with them, and at this time the lunch time had not yet officially arrived, and there were not many people in the store, so the five of them found a large table by the window and sat down.

Cheng Ze asked curiously, "Why didn't Dashou come?" ”

"He went to sign up today and felt a lot of pressure, so he had to be angry when he came back to study, which can understand his feelings." Fanning said slightly vaguely.

"Then go back and bring him something to eat!"

Su Liang shook his head, "Don't bother, he and a restaurant have specially ordered meals, and someone will deliver them every day." ”

"What's going on? Aren't we all together for dinner? Cheng Ze was even more puzzled.

Next to him, his sister Cheng Yuanyuan whispered: "Big brother, don't ask, there must be a reason for it." ”

Fan Ning smiled and explained: "It's not that there is any special reason, the main thing is that Dashou can't stop practicing calligraphy, and he is embarrassed to always let us wait for him, so he ordered meals in the restaurant by himself, and after staying for a long time, everyone will have their own habits, like me and Xiao Su don't come out to eat every time." ”

"That's the same, I'm also a bit bad, I hope you will bear with me!"

Not long after, a guy served them wine and tea, today is to give their brothers and sisters to catch the wind, Su Liang rice wine, he is very careful, and to Cheng Yuanyuan and the little maid cuckoo order pear juice, the main dish is the best braised pig's trotters, has been cut into small pieces, and other cold dishes, hot dishes and seasonal vegetables, there are more than a dozen.

Su Liang was about to greet him for dinner, but Fan Ning kicked him lightly, looking at the wine glass, Su Liang suddenly woke up, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass and got up and said: "Today is to wash the dust for Brother Cheng and Miss Cheng, Brother Cheng wants to concentrate on preparing for the exam, I won't say more, I wish Miss Cheng a happy time in the capital, a good stay, come!" Everyone has a drink. ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank wine, the wine table became casual, Cheng Ze sat next to Fan Ning, he leaned over and smiled at Fan Ning: "My studies are still far from Jinshi, this time I came to the capital, mainly to see the imperial examination, focusing on participation, and I never dared to hope for the Jinshi and the like." ”

Fan Ning also smiled: "Actually, we are the same, the first time to participate in the provincial examination!" They are all participating, and I don't dare to expect to be admitted to the Jinshi, and Xiao Su and I are both participating in the children's exam, which will be a little more difficult. ”

"How's the boys' exam going this year?" Cheng Ze asked again.

"Only fifty people were recorded, and there were about 3,000 tribute scholars in each state capital, and almost sixty people were admitted to one."

"That's a little better than the normal imperial examination, the normal imperial examination is a reference for 100,000 people, about 500 people are admitted, and one person out of 200 people is admitted, I am daunted."

"It's not easy!"

At this time, Su Liang, who was sitting on the other side of Cheng Ze, was smiling and talking to Cheng Yuanyuan, "This is the third time I have come to the capital, the first two times I came were too young, and I have never been to any scenic spots, this time I also plan to go to see the eight views of Bianliang, does Miss Cheng have any special places she wants to go?" ”

Cheng Yuanyuan pursed his lips and smiled: "I heard that the water quality in the capital is not very good, and the water quality in the plum garden in the south of the city is good, I want to go and see it in two days." ”

"That's right, the water quality in the capital is not very good, if you want to order a good pot of tea, you can only spend money to buy water outside the city, and Miss Cheng is also proficient in sencha?"

"It's not proficient, it's just a little hobby, does Brother Su like sencha?"

"Of course I like it, but it's not fried well, I can just ask Miss Cheng for advice."

Next to him, Fanning's mouth was about to go to the sky, he was really defeated by this guy, when did he like sencha? I have been in a dormitory with him for two years, and I have never seen him make tea.

Fan Ning couldn't help it, so he smiled and said, "Xiao Su, let's call Miss Cheng to dinner first!" The dishes are getting cold. ”

"That's right! Right! ”

Su Liang came to his senses and hurriedly smiled: "Try their pig's trotters, stewed rotten and fragrant, fat but not greasy, it is the signature dish of their store." ”

Cheng Ze couldn't help but pick up a piece of pig's trotter and chew it in his mouth, and praised it repeatedly: "Not bad!" It tastes really good! I love it. ”

..........

Back at the residence, Li Dashou had already vacated the room and moved to the outside room, the two rooms where he lived had doors connected, just for Cheng Yuanyuan and her maid to live in, and everyone was busy cleaning up the room all afternoon.

Fan Ning went back to his study and made a pot of tea for himself, he also had to admit that the water quality in Bianliang is indeed not very good, the alkalinity is too heavy, and there is a slight bitter taste, I am afraid that this is also one of the reasons why the capital loves tea, using the tea flavor to cover up the bitter taste of the water.

Therefore, there are many people who deliver and sell water on Bianliang Street, all of whom take mountain spring water from outside the city, some give it to major teahouses, and some sell it to large families in the city.

Fanning filled his porcelain teapot with tea and poured another cup of tea.

At this time, Su Liang walked in with a cup of tea, he frowned, and complained to Fan Ning: "I found that the water quality in the capital is really bad. ”

Fan Ning looked at him speechlessly, and said for a while: "I told you about this problem on the first day I came to the capital, you said that you were not so squeamish, why are you complaining now?" ”

Su Liang's face flushed, he closed the door and whispered, "Am I a little out of shape today?" ”

"What do you think?" Fanning asked with a smile.

Su Liang muttered in a low voice, "I don't know, I feel like I've been too attentive." ”

"This has to be seen from different people, in my opinion, you may be overly courteous, but in the eyes of the Cheng brothers and sisters, they may think that you are normal."

Su Liang scratched his head and asked with a blank expression, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Fan Ning smiled, "We have given a simple example, take water as an example, you very much agree with Miss Cheng's mention of the poor water quality in the capital today, saying that you have a deep understanding and have long been dissatisfied with water, Miss Cheng thinks that what you said is the truth, there is nothing abnormal, but I know that you kid never cares about whether the water quality is good or not, and when you say it today, it is obviously to please Miss Cheng." ”

Su Liang's face was hot, and his face was really a little unbearable, so he had to whisper: "Don't say these words, save me some face." ”

"So you just go and be courteous, as long as I don't say it, no one knows your old bottom, of course, you need to bribe me, do everything you can to please me, and gag me."

Speaking of this, Fan Ning thought for a while, and said with a smile: "From tomorrow onwards, you will buy breakfast in the future, and by the way, I will also buy a copy for Miss Cheng, I will tell Miss Cheng that you like to get up early to exercise, and go to buy breakfast by the way." ”

"You guy, it's too much!"

Fan Ning spread his hands, "Then I can't help it, maybe I will say something for a while and tell Miss Cheng that you have a lot of blind dates in Pingjiang Mansion, and what else is it, it seems that you never like sencha." ”

"That's it! All right! I'll just buy you breakfast, count you ruthless! ”

Fanning laughed, "That's it!" By the way, when are you going to accompany Miss Cheng to fetch water outside the city? ”

Fan Ning reminded Su Liang with a word, reminding him of the business of looking for Fan Ning, and he hurriedly said: "I plan to accompany her to see the plum garden the day after tomorrow, but I'm embarrassed to go alone, I want you to go with me." ”

"Let me go with you?"

Fan Ning's eyes widened, and he looked at Su Liang with contempt and said: "I never do this kind of thing to accompany people to pick up girls, you and her are talking to me, what am I on the side?" Do you want to hold the lamp for you? ”

"Either you bring Zhu Pei too, or bring Ouyang Qian, anyway, you have to help me this time."

"Let's talk about it!" Fanning didn't say anything to death, leaving a little leeway.

However, he also found that he had indeed not seen Ouyang Qian and Zhu Pei for a long time.

Just then, a rattle bell rang outside the gate.

'Clank! Jingling! 'It's a rush to deliver the letter.
