Chapter 182: Master
Lingnan, Ying County.
"Mother, my son can inquire and understand, the mountain chief of this women's culinary academy is the current queen mother and Mrs. Zhongqinbo! Let's go to the capital, stay any longer, what is the way for our mothers to live?
Dad is gone, this restaurant, no matter how much money you make, it's cheaper for the second and third uncle's families, mother, let's go! ”
A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy begged bitterly, their Mi family's restaurant was all supported by his mother.
However, it was his second uncle who cashiered, and it was his third uncle who bought it, and every month, her mother could only receive five taels of silver.
Grandma kept saying that it was all up to the Mi family to feed their big house, and he didn't want to serve for a long time, but now as long as he convinces his mother, he doesn't want to stay in this ghost place anymore, and let people suffer.
Mi is a child daughter-in-law, she came to the Mi family at the age of three, and at the beginning she was raised by her daughter, and the Mi family opened a small restaurant in this county.
Old man Mi's small restaurant has a good business, and he sent his three sons to the school with spare money.
Mi, the adopted daughter at a young age, has been a child laborer since she was five years old, seeing that she is diligent and studious, Mi Laotou tried to teach her to cook, but she didn't expect that she was still better than blue.
When Mi Shi grew to the age of fifteen, many diners came to Mi's craft, and the Mi family didn't want to marry Mi off, so the fat water flowed into the fields of outsiders.
directly turned the adopted daughter into a daughter-in-law, and at that time, the Mi family could only match the boss of the Mi family in terms of age.
Boss Mi is a loyal person, and since he got married, he also taught his sister-in-law and daughter-in-law to read and write, and he is a daughter-in-law.
After becoming a daughter-in-law, Mi's worked diligently, and in less than ten years, the family's small restaurant became one of the best restaurants in the county, and finally the head of the Mi family became Mi's.
After the eldest of the Mi family was implicated in a lawsuit by the second child of the Mi family, he was beaten to death by the people in the same cell in the cell. Not only did her father-in-law and mother-in-law not blame Mi Lao Er, but they looked at her as a daughter-in-law very closely, fearing that she would remarry, and second, afraid that she would not care about the restaurant and beat all day long.
Over the years, Mi has also given birth to a son and a daughter, the daughter Yaya is only eight years old, she came to the house at the age of three, and she has long been accustomed to the virtues of her in-laws.
But Mi Shutian, her son is not happy, this son is a smart man, he has seen through the faces of the Mi family, and just wants his mother to take them away from this place. In Mi's heart, she marries her husband and dies from her son, and she can't help but care about her son's opinions.
"But, your grandfather and grandmother have our family's household registration, and if we have to sneak away, we won't be able to leave our county, let alone enter the capital. If your mother openly said that she wanted to be a master, your grandfather and grandmother would definitely not be happy! ”
"Then, that mother, what if our grandma is willing to divide our big house?" Mi Shutian saw that his mother was willing to listen to his advice, and his mind immediately moved, don't look at his age, he has the nickname of "Sai Zhuge " in the school.
"Son, you."
A few days later, the chef of the most famous Mijia restaurant in the county accidentally drank the wrong thing and lost his sense of taste.
The Mi family is not giving up, they can't taste the taste, and the craftsmanship is still there, but the Mi family has lost a lot of quality, and the fried dishes can't be eaten by regular customers, which has offended a lot of people.
Master Mi, the old owner who has been behind the scenes for many years, has to come back to the rivers and lakes at this time and take charge again.
And Mi, who had no sense of taste, was divided up with her children, and only got a small mansion and a hundred taels of silver.
A restaurant with a profit of at least 3,000 taels a year, this one makes the neighbors can't help but shake their heads.
The mother and son who were separated from the family stayed at home, and half a month later, someone knocked on the door only to find that the mother and son had actually left home.
Everyone in the Mi family was dumbfounded, but after inquiring for a long time, they didn't know the whereabouts of the eldest daughter-in-law's family, so they had to give up.
Mi, who was being discussed by them, had already arrived in Fucheng at this time, participated in the primary election, and finally was recommended by the prefect to go to the capital with excellent results.
Ningjiang Mansion, Yaojia Bun Shop.
Thirty-two-year-old Yao is the proprietress of a well-known steamed bun shop in Ningjiang Prefecture, and her crab roe soup dumplings and crystal oil dumplings are so delicious that they are bought by the prefect's mansion.
It is said that in such a popular steamed bun shop, the proprietress should have a good life, but Yao looks like he is forty years old, and he has a bitter face all year round.
Those who are familiar with his family's situation will sigh: This Da Yao is an unlucky one.
Da Yao, Yao Dashou, is Yao's man, he won Xiucai at the age of fifteen, and now he is thirty-six years old, and he has taken the exam six times.
Either he had diarrhea in the number until he was dehydrated, or he was smashed on the head and broke his leg before the exam, and he drank too much at home in the same year before the exam, and when he woke up, the exam was the second day.
It's really a young man who got his name, and he has not yet achieved fame and fame. His daughter-in-law is also the little lady of the scholarly family, and the time she marries into the Yao family will be the most beautiful years of Da Yao.
The husband who is talented and does not produce anything, once every three years, Yao gave birth to three sons in a row, and the family is not a wealthy family, so he is worried about his livelihood. In the end, Yao's mother-in-law couldn't look at it, so she sent their mother-in-law with the best pasta skills.
The mother-in-law arrived at Yao's house, and after discussing with Yao, she decided to sell steamed buns. It is not just a bun that is said to be a bun, the mother-in-law's craftsmanship in making pastries is a must, ordinary steamed buns, can be made into layer by layer of hand-torn steamed buns, soft and tough.
The steamed bun filling can achieve more than 20 kinds of sweet and salty flavors, among which crab roe soup dumplings and crystal oil dumplings are her best.
Yao also studied for two years, but before she could learn all the skills of her mother-in-law, her mother's family changed again, and her mother-in-law was asked to meet her mother's family again.
Since that year, Yao's family has opened a bun shop, supporting a family of five, three sons are also studying, and four people are studying, where can the annual cost be less?
This year, Da Yao is going to take the exam for the seventh time, and he said that he is very confident this time. If you pass the exam, you have to enter the capital to take the Jinshi exam, but Da Yao, who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, has to be blind when he enters the capital.
When the recruitment notice in Ningjiang Mansion was spread everywhere by the diners, Yao's mind began to come alive. I think back then, she knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and now she doesn't dare to look at her old appearance in the bronze mirror, if she can become a female master, how good it would be!
Yao's mind did not hide from Da Yao, Da Yao saw the dedication of his wife over the years, he was confident in his own examination this year, and after thinking about it for only one night, he agreed to Yao's application.
"Madam, although you can make money by making steamed buns, but your husband knows the hardships of making early, and Madame's arm is so swollen that she can't lift it every few days. If you are a master, you don't have to work so hard, and sooner or later you will have to enter the capital to take the Jinshi exam, so you can try it! ”
"But, but if you don't pass the exam this time, I can't still leave your father and son and enter the capital alone, right?"
Da Yao was angry: "Why don't you trust your husband?" I said that if I can pass the test, I will definitely be able to pass the test, this time, I won't go anywhere, just at our house, let the eldest and second son send me on the day of the exam! ”
A recruitment notice has stirred the minds of many families and women, and there are very few people like Yao who have been supported by their husbands, but for their own future, there are still many ruthless people.
The Women's Culinary Academy was renovated at this time and was listed, and it was also the emperor's ink treasure that Empress Gao begged for.
The main entrance of the Wujin Academy is wide open, and the plaque at the main entrance is "Daxia Women's Culinary Academy", in regular script.
There are 20 classrooms in the first courtyard, the windows are made of glass, the lighting is very good, each classroom is also equipped with blackboard and chalk, and the chalk made of gypsum even feels that Cai Saijiu is easy to use.
Not to mention the large kitchen, with the blessing of tiles, it is bright and clean, and the mood for cooking can be heavenly.
The dormitory of Datongpu can accommodate ten students in one room, and each dormitory is equipped with a thatched room and a washroom.
I also made a whole wall of wardrobes on the wall, one cabinet per person, which can be locked. The college also issued uniform costumes to the students, from the inside to the outside, the four seasons are distinct.
The first 100 students who moved in were all pleasantly surprised by the accommodation conditions, which was much better than the Shantang. When I arrived at the big bathhouse, I washed up and put on new clothes, and I was so happy that I couldn't wait to roll on the Chase bunk.
The canteen actually has three dishes and one soup every day, and there is a meat dish for each meal, the staple food is mixed noodles and steamed buns, which can be eaten too much.
The tuition fee in the hands of Queen Gao is very popular, the tuition fee for one year is two hundred taels of silver, the three-year system is five hundred taels, the five-year fee is eight hundred taels, and the number of places is only one hundred taels per person per year.
As soon as the news was released, Mrs. Xiang, who was about to give birth, was harassed, she held up her big belly and went to the Zhongqin Bofu to complain:
"Don't talk about other families, just our Weiguo Mansion, we have to break our heads, if the little girls learn a trick and a half to go home, they will not be worth much. It's a pity that we only got two places in our house, and the old lady can say, if you want to learn, you will learn from the best, learn enough for five years, and come back to take the example of a first-class girl. ”
"Hehe, the old lady has a vision, five-year system, in addition to the basic skills of the first year, in the next four years, you can choose all the ones you are interested in, where is only one and a half moves, just the big dishes in my hand, I can learn more than ten dishes."
"Wow, that's really good, do you want to recruit more students next year, our Weiguo Mansion is not afraid of tuition, and it will be enough to give ten more places!"
"You're really not greedy, I'll open a confinement meal course, and when the time comes, let the girls in your house use it while learning!"
"I'm so blessed, I'll definitely raise your daughter-in-law for nothing!"
Old woman. Cuihua, I want to refuse, she is only in her twenties, and she doesn't want to be a mother-in-law!
