The young man was surprised when he heard this, and he was moved again and again, "Your brother and that Yan Juren are really closer than brothers, just like Your Majesty and the general." ”

Lu Zhou nodded silently, yes.

It's just that he is not sure now, what is the relationship between his brother and Junqi's brother like confidants, and even beyond his own brother.

The young man asked him about what he had seen on the road again, Lu Zhou happened to have sorted out a lot of things in this area these days, and originally wanted to go back and tell Lu Rui and Layue about it, but since the other party was curious, he told him a little bit first.

There is not much difference in age between the two, and the things they care about are similar, and they are very speculative when they chat, and by noon everyone else has dispersed, and the two are still chatting.

Lu Zhou had a treat and took the boy to a nearby shop to eat noodles.

The servant was so shocked that he couldn't even shout, but the young man ran away with the inexplicable Lu Zhou.

Hot soup mixed noodles, nest an egg, fifteen dollars a bowl.

The four of them occupied a small table, and the servants wiped it off, as if they wanted to scrape off a layer of it.

The young man was full of interest to watch the boss cook noodles.

He has been clothed and fed since he was a child, let alone watching others make noodles, and he has never even seen anything in the kitchen.

Whether it is kneading and rolling dough, or boiling noodles and eggs in a boiling cauldron, he is very curious to see.

Lu Zhou used hot water to help him scald his chopsticks, and he couldn't help but be infected by his novelty, "Haven't you seen it?" ”

"No, I couldn't see anyone cooking when I came out before. Hey, why is that face black? ”

"There are a lot of mixed noodles, and we order a lot of white noodles."

But there are many white noodles, and the noodles are not so white.

The boy looked down at the yellowed noodles in the bowl, which were not at all the same as what he had eaten before.

It's thick and rough.

But this is already the most expensive noodles that Lu Zhou chose for a treat, he usually eats it by himself, and he chooses mixed noodles to eat.

Lu Zhou put two pieces of pork jerky in his bowl, "My brother made it, it's stuffy with noodles, it's delicious." ”

The boy had never seen this way of eating, and learned Lu Zhou to bury the dried meat with noodles.

When he tasted the dried meat, he couldn't help but say, "This is made by your family?" ”

"Well, my brother did."

"Your brother is so delicious! It's even better than the Imperial Kitchen! ”

He was praised for being modest, but he praised his brother Lu Zhou for not being modest, and he agreed very much: "My brother cooks very deliciously, and he also teaches many people to cook, and Guanyang pot is the first thing my brother used." ”

"Guanyang pot?" The young man was stunned, "Is your brother the one who invented stir-frying?" ”

Lu Zhou nodded.

The young man smiled: "Your brother is so powerful!" The Guanyang pot he invented made a lot of iron ore in Daqi make money, and with this small Guanyang pot, the treasury can have one more income. ”

Their Daqi Iron Mine is government-run, and in addition to deducting necessary expenses, the rest of the money must be handed over to the state treasury.

Lu Zhou: ???

Belch...... It seems to be right, too!

It can not only make delicious stir-fried dishes, but also make money for the treasury, which is really beneficial to the country and the people!

I suddenly felt that my brother was even more powerful!

"You're so good, I haven't even thought about paying taxes." Lu Zhou boasted sincerely.

The young man was stunned, and said with a modest smile: "This is what my uncle taught me." ”

"Your uncle is amazing." Lu Zhou finished praising his mouth, and suddenly remembered that the middle-aged man on the side was his uncle, and saluted him shyly.

The middle-aged man supported his forehead, he gave an example of the Guanyang pot, but this was not the meaning, he hoped that the little emperor and grandson would know that an inconspicuous small object might also have an unexpected role and value, and not ignore the tiny people and small things.

However, the fact that the little emperor's grandson, who grew up with a pampered meal, can eat a bowl full of thick noodles at such a stall, which has already made him a little impressed by this child.

This thick noodle is very different from the food made by the imperial chef in the palace, isn't this even a little unbearable for the eunuchs who serve him?

But the two children ate happily.

Whether it is Lu Zhou, who can easily take out a bag of dried meat, or the emperor grandson who grew up in the gold and silver nest, he has not refused such a bowl of thick noodles with ordinary taste, and even when Lu Zhou talked about the cabbage and tofu stuffed dumplings he ate on the road, the emperor and grandson wanted to try it.

"Meals made with gratitude must taste different!"

"Well, my brother's cooking is delicious, and the family brought us the most precious ingredients in the house, even if it's just cabbage and tofu, it's delicious."

"Are you still here tomorrow? I've come to you with something delicious! ”

"There is no gathering here tomorrow, I want to go to Haoran Pavilion to have a look."

"Haoran Pavilion?"

"Well, it's the Haoran Pavilion on the hillside east of the city."

"Then I'll go to Haoran Pavilion tomorrow to find you!"

"Good! Then you have to wear thicker tomorrow, Haoran Pavilion is windy. ”

"Well, I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Lu Zhou, what about you?"

"You just call me Ah Mao."

"Okay."

The two children said goodbye, made an appointment to meet tomorrow, and went home satisfied.

Jiang Hao couldn't help but ask He Chengye beside him, "Uncle, is Lu Zhou's brother the young man in Guanyang who you told me that is very good at doing business?" ”

He Chengye nodded: "Not bad." ”

Jiang Hao walked with his hands in high spirits, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while, he smiled and said, "It's so fun to leave the palace!" ”

He Chengye said in his heart, this is not the first time you have left the palace.

"Uncle, can I go with you to study outside the palace?" Jiang Hao brought it up again.

"I don't have to say that."

Jiang Hao: "Then I'll beg my father!" ”

He couldn't wait to run to the prince to tell him about the new friends he had met when he left the palace.

Lu Zhou was also at home telling Lu Xu about the new friends he had made today.

There are many children of nobles in Beijing, and Lu Xu didn't think much about it, he has always advocated that Lu Zhou should make more friends and play with children of the same age.

Can you be happy in a childhood without friends?

"Then I'll make some more delicious food tomorrow, and you can take it and share it with him." It sounds like Lu Zhou, a new friend, is quite fond of food.

"Hmm."

The conditions were limited, Lu Xu didn't play as well as he did at home, and got up early the next day to make glutinous rice sugar gourds, steamed cakes, bean paste cakes, mung bean cakes, fried meatballs, dried tofu, tea eggs, and fried melon seeds for Lu Zhou, and sent Lu Zhou out for a "picnic".

If it weren't for the fact that the food box couldn't fit it, he still wanted to fill Lu Zhou with a roast chicken.

The author has something to say:

When Lu Xu hugged his thighs: his tongue was bright and lotus, crackling.

When Lu Zhou hugged his thighs:

Lu Zhou: Brother, I have made new friends.

Lu Xu: Oh! (Our family Zhouzhou has made friends again!) Glad! What does your new friend like to eat? What to do?

Have a picnic with your friends!!

Chapter 198: Admission

Lu Zhou was so calm and unwavering with his new friends, from the first trip to talk about the past and the present, sharing books, the two of them participated in various literati gatherings in the capital every day.

Without Yan Junqi, Bai Ding, who was not admitted to many high-end bureaus Lu Zhou, would not be able to mix, and Jiang Hao, as Lu Zhou's friend, would of course not be able to mix.

Those who wanted to be valued by the powerful had no idea who they had stopped them from, and the Lu family was even more unaware of feeding the emperor and grandson.

Two days ago, the two brothers disrespectfully fed the emperor and grandson a box of braised chicken feet, and the plainclothes eunuch almost didn't faint.

When the prince found out, not only did he not blame, but he also called his son to ask if it was delicious, and the princess anxiously asked the imperial doctor, she really didn't worry about her son eating outside.

Health or not is another matter, what if someone is poisoned?

After the prince heard about it, his son mentioned that he wanted to go outside the palace to study with He Chengye, and he was even more shaken, otherwise, let's go! Go out and run more, and you can also have a long insight outside the books, as the emperor's grandson, the future emperor of Daqi, how can he not even know how the people of the capital live.

These royal secrets Lu Xu has no way of knowing, and he can't care about knowing.

Yan Junqi was about to take the exam, and he was busy preparing things for Yan Junqi.

In the matter of scientific research, Lu Xu is also born and matured, and he has already inquired about what he is going to prepare.

The treatment is much better than before.

Those who can participate in the examination are all lifters, even if they can't pass the Jinshi exam, they can also mix up an official and a half-job, and the treatment is certainly much better than the exam in their hometown.

First of all, people have a special examination place, Gongyuan.

After His Majesty ascended the throne, in order to select talents, the examination was changed from a triennial examination to a biennial examination, and the utilization rate of the Gongyuan also increased, and the officials in charge were more familiar with the process than before.

Candidates only need to register and pay money at the Gongyuan on the specified day in advance, and the Gongyuan will arrange the papers and pen and ink on the day of the exam.

During the exam, you don't even have to bring your own food, the Gongyuan will prepare it in advance and distribute it uniformly, and they have a unified bedding for the exam, so you don't have to worry about resting overnight.

All you need to do is bring the documents to prove your identity during the exam.

However, the field is inside the field, and if you don't prepare at all outside the field, you will also suffer.

Lu Xu inquired that the quilt in the Gongyuan was not washed all year round, and if someone accidentally encountered a stinky and moldy one, it would be difficult to change it.

Therefore, it is best to bring your own bedding when entering.

Of course, the quilt is not allowed to be brought, the clothes can be worn larger and thicker, as long as you can pass the inspection, do not carry cheating things, and the test will be relatively loose for candidates.
