The river is still the same river, and the women gather together, hammers, pounding their clothes one by one, and their mouths are not idle, gossiping about the trivial matters of the east and west families. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Huining River is like a boat boat, from time to time there are wisps of bamboo sound into the ears, talented and beautiful women, businessmen and tourists are chatting, each with its own role.

Zhao Qi is a student of Huining Academy, wearing a cyan robe and holding a fan in his hand today, he can be regarded as a personable son. The government school is sponsored by the local county government and is generally the best local school. Naturally, there will be some exceptions, and private schools, due to various reasons, such as a certain Confucian teaching, have attracted many good gentlemen, and students have also come to visit, and under the virtuous circle, private schools will also surpass government schools. Huining School is the official school of Huining, and it is one of the best schools in Huining.

Zhao Qi's father's businessman had a solid family background, but the status of the businessman was not as high as that of later generations, at least it was far inferior to the scholar. Zhao Qi became a lifter and studied at Huining Academy, which naturally became the pride of the whole family. His grades can only be regarded as mid-stream in the academy, so he attaches great importance to the relationship with his classmates, and he has a reputation for righteousness among his classmates, and he is a rich man with good popularity.

Today, he invited his classmates to go boating on the Huining River, a total of seven people. In ancient times, the literati recited poems against each other, and praised each other sourly, saying that they were just playing, and felt hungry, so they discussed getting off the boat to have a meal, and then going to the land of fireworks to find lovely people to talk to each other. A group of seven people got off the boat, talking and laughing all the way. Zhao Qi saw a three-story restaurant, standing next to the river and with extraordinary decoration, so he said: "I haven't come to this Qingfeng Zhai for a long time to eat, why don't we go there." He said to the tall man next to him, wearing a white silk robe, with a carp jade pendant around his waist, he was not ordinary at first sight, and he was the leader among them, called Sun Jun. Seeing Sun Jun nodding, Zhao Qi led everyone towards Qingfeng Zhai.

Sitting down on the second floor, I heard Xiao Er say: "These sons may wish to often have the specialties in our store, and I am sure to satisfy you." "Can you tell me what special dishes you have, if they don't satisfy us, you won't be able to eat them." The speaker is a fat man, he is usually delicious, and he has obviously become interested in the specialties in Xiao Er's mouth. "Listen, guest, we have sweet and sour fish, back pot meat, braised pork, and stuffed bamboo shoots in oil, don't listen to this name, the taste is first-class." Although the name is simple, not as mysterious as the immortal residence, but it is unheard of, so they are interested, order sweet and sour fish and braised pork, plus those common dishes are enough for fifteen dishes, and ask for a jar of sake. Xiao Er said goodbye and went to the back kitchen.

Xu Yuan was fiddling with the fish in the back kitchen, and he was just stewing the braised pork in a casserole, otherwise it would be too late to wait until this time to do it. Several chefs on the side looked at Xu Yuan curiously, and they also had some expectations for Xu Yuan's craftsmanship. Su Jun wanted to help on the side, but was kicked out by Xu Yuan, and now he is looking at the account book of the restaurant.

The dishes were served one by one, and several readers pushed the cups to change the lamps, and couldn't help but talk about the poetry competition after the month, which was a grand gathering of students in the entire Jiangnan region, claiming to be a friend with literature and selecting the first talent in Jiangnan. However, it is often the first in literature, and to be elected as the first talent, you need to be the best in the world, not a little better, just because of poetry and writing, the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise, and you have to use the literary style that significantly exceeds the second and third to be called the first talent in Jiangnan.

"I heard that Xu Ai of Jialing once said that he was determined to win this time, and he simply didn't take us seriously." "Hey, there was still Li Gongzi competing with him, and now that Li Gongzi has entered Beijing, it's a pity that I would rather have no one." "Isn't there still Brother Sun here?" "Be cautious, although I am obsessed with Xu Ai how old he is, but I am indeed inferior to him in the hand of poetry.

Here Xiao Er came up with a sweet and sour fish, and saw a golden fish on the plate, poured with some red juice, and sprinkled with shallots and shredded white radish, which can be described as full of color and flavor. "Guest, sweet and sour fish is here."

Several scholars lifted chopsticks, only to hear Zhao Qi say: "Brother Sun, please first, taste the sweet and sour fish in this little er's mouth, if it can't enter your mouth, it will make that little two look good." "The chopsticks touched the body of the fish and took a piece of meat from the abdomen, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Come and taste it to all the brothers, it is indeed a rare delicacy. After everyone tasted it, they all praised it, and it was worth it.

said that several of them are also wealthy children of the family, and most of the delicious food in Ningcheng has been eaten, and the lotus leaf steamed fish of Qingfeng Zhai Lao Zhao is also as fresh, but it is not as fresh as this sweet and sour fish, yes, it is fresh, it is a taste that has not been tasted before, and I never thought that the combination of sugar and vinegar was so delicious. This is the cooking skills of the relatively scarce Zhou, when in the Tang Dynasty, cooking to steam, even stir-fry is the capital chef broom self-cherished stunt, this sweet and sour fish naturally conquered their tongue, can't help but have a greater interest in the braised pork. I have never heard of the word braised before, and I think it is a novelty.

After Xiao Er left, the fat man among them said: "I didn't know that this Qingfeng Zhai had such delicious dishes, I really missed the opportunity to taste the food before." Zhao Qi couldn't help but wonder, "Yes, but I haven't heard anyone say it, as far as I know, this Qingfeng Zhai was originally the property of the Su family, but not long ago it was regarded as the dowry of the second lady." One of them frowned and thought, "But that Su Jun, who was also a well-known woman back then, didn't expect that she is now married and a wife, and I don't know which family her husband's family is." Before Zhao Qi could answer, Xiao Er had already come up with braised pork, and when he saw the red and attractive piece of meat, several people couldn't help but swallow a few saliva.

The braised pork is fat and lean meat, and when you take a bite, it is full of flavor and conquers their stomachs very roughly. It's just that there are nine pieces of braised pork in total, and the meat pieces are not easy to eat, and they will soon see the bottom, and at this time there are still a lot of other dishes left on the table. In this big week, there is no so-called cheap pork, of course, beef and mutton are the signboards of high-end restaurants, but no one has stepped on pork into the mire.

Zhao Qi asked Xiao Er: "Your braised pork is indeed delicious, maybe another one." Unexpectedly, Xiao Er confessed his guilt and said: "The guest officer doesn't know, this is a little sudden, you also saw that this meat is fat and thin, how can ordinary people think of this practice, we can't buy much when we go to buy it." And it takes a lot of time for this braised pork to melt in your mouth, so there is not much, and the small one will make amends to you here. The words were reasonable, and several people who were not unreasonable also said that they knew. Xiao Er said: "If a few sons think it is delicious, you might as well find a friend to come to the party tomorrow, I will inform the back kitchen to prepare a big portion for you, our signature dish here is limited, and it is considered a small shop to apologize to you." "One pot is divided into three bowls, and it is impossible to do business with only one table of them in one night, and the braised pork is served to the tables of these three guests, and they are all praised. I just want to ask for it again, but I say it's gone, first, the raw materials are really not enough, and secondly, good things can only be cherished and given, and others will feel that you are really good things. When a guest eats something that others can't eat, he naturally feels that he is noble, and what he eats is the taste of the dish and the vanity. This method is not uncommon in later hotels, and Xu Yuan can be regarded as a living learner.

Xiao Er is Ah Fu, he saw that everyone was a scholar of the academy, so he decided to give them a big share tomorrow, and felt that selling them some favors would naturally be beneficial to the store. Listening to Ah Fu's report, Xu Yuan couldn't help nodding, he was really a useful talent. Xu Yuan patted Ah Fu on the shoulder and signaled him to do a good job, Ah Fu nodded hurriedly, picked up the towel and went to work again.

After the scholars finished eating and left, several waves of customers came to the store one after another, but there was no trouble in the mouth of the bell. Although Qingfeng Zhai's business has not been very good recently, it is only relative to before, and Qingfeng Zhai is also very famous on this Wenxing Street. The Su family started by selling timber, and in recent years, they are also trying different businesses, such as this restaurant, the Su family has opened a total of four, Qingfeng Zhai, Mingyue Zhai, Tianbao Mansion, Changxingju, each of which has a good business.

Xu Yuan saw Su Jun who was settling accounts on the counter, she recorded and calculated extremely carefully one by one, and the shopkeeper was also playing an abacus beside her, and the abacus made a subtle and crisp sound when the abacus was tapped. Only Bell Er was alone, with nothing to do, with her head on her shoulders and doing nothing. She originally wanted to help serve the food, but those guys dared to let the maid in charge do their business, so she could only watch Su Jun settle accounts here boringly, and hand her the account book from time to time.

Xu Yuan waved his hand in front of her: "What are you doing here?" Bell said: "It's so boring, I can't calculate the accounts of the young lady, I want to help but can't help anything." Xu Yuan rubbed her head and said nothing. Su Jun raised his head and said, "Xianggong, you're here." Xu Yuan looked at the account book in her hand in the past, on it were her delicate characters, this ancient bookkeeping was also extremely troublesome, it was written in Chinese characters, thinking of this, he couldn't help but move.

"Madame, do you see if this bookkeeping is extremely troublesome, this time spent on writing numbers, if we replace it with a simple symbol, is it extremely convenient? . . . He told Su Jun in detail about the writing of Arabic numerals, which made Su Jun marvel, and the shopkeeper next to him also leaned over to listen. When he heard Xu Yuan talk about the vertical method of adding numbers, he was already stunned, "This method of the east family is really an epoch-making innovation, this greatly simplifies our records, and speeds up the calculation. Indeed, the application of Arabic numerals is of great significance to the improvement of the efficiency of account records, and the shopkeeper has a far-reaching vision. This is really a major invention, the shopkeeper has to keep accounts every day, he understands the meaning of this tadpole-like symbol better than Su Jun, not to mention the money and accounting in the imperial court, and the person in charge of the treasury also needs this.

If Xu Yuan surprised the shopkeeper before, then now Xu Yuan has convinced him. There is a saying that if you want to convince a person, you have to defeat him in the field he is best at, and Xu Yuanfei is to defeat, but to come up with a completely new system.

On the way home, Ling'er was still talking to Su Jun about it. Ling'er is happy that her uncle is so powerful, although she doesn't understand, but the shopkeeper usually doesn't say that he is proud of them, but he is also a little proud of himself when he builds the shelf of Qingfeng Zhai from scratch. Bell Bell has never seen the shopkeeper do this to people, in fact, this shopkeeper was born as a scholar, and he admired people who were better than him, and when he was in the Su family before, he was neither humble nor arrogant to the children of the Su family. Bell is happy for Miss, and Auntie is so good that Miss doesn't have to be bullied. She is an extremely simple character, she was extremely anxious when she saw Xu Yuan looking like a nerd a few days ago, and she was anxious for her young lady, because after getting married, her husband's family is the sky, and if Xu Yuan is not good, she will cause the young lady to suffer. Although she can't detect Xu Yuan's changes from subtle places in the past few days, she feels that her uncle is so powerful today, and the dishes cooked are delicious. It's good that Miss is smiling so happily, let the Li family who bullied Miss take a good look at how powerful my aunt is.

The night covers the land, but the nightlife of the nobles and merchants in the city has just begun, they spend a lot of money to make a smile, and some can only sleep on the streets to survive on the handouts of others, hoping to give a reward to the guests who win at the door of the casino. Xu Yuan looked at it all the way, the world of this Da Zhou was so real, the two girls around him were laughing, and they looked around from time to time. The moon was not bright, but they were in the same mood as they were on their way home.
