If he can marry this person, he must have done great things in his last life.

The husband and wife talked all the way, and walked for more than an hour before they came to the county seat.

Tao Zhu wants to buy some fabrics to make bedding, and also to make clothes that Li Qiao will need to study in the county seat next year.

If there is no accident, Li Qiao will go to the county seat to study next year, and he has to prepare the relevant clothes now.

Coming out of the cloth shop, the two went to the bookstore.

These days, Li Qiao has memorized the four books, and he has memorized almost the annotated books recommended by Zhuang Wen to him last time.

So, he was ready to start reading the Pentateuch.

In addition to the Pentateuch, you should also buy relevant commentaries, so that you can deepen your memory while reading and understanding.

In addition to the Pentateuch, he also bought calligraphy.

Now he has to write big characters every day, and after so long of practice, his writing speed has accelerated a lot, and his words are not soft.

However, today's saint attaches great importance to calligraphy, so he must also pay attention to it, not to be outstanding, but not to be lower than the general level of the candidates.

The guy at the bookstore saw that he had to buy a notebook after buying more than a dozen books in one go, and his smile was almost grinning behind his ears.

Big customer, big customer!

Nowadays, the official font of the imperial examination is the Taige style, which is one of the regular scripts, and the characteristics of this font are square, neat, atmospheric and beautiful.

So the guy took out several notebooks for Li Qiao to choose.

"Readers' favorite is these fonts, each of which sells very well, you see which one you want."

Li Qiao spread out these notebooks on the counter and looked at them one by one.

These notebooks are all in the style of the cabinet, but there are subtle differences.

After reading it for a while, he finally chose the one with the least obvious characteristics, and if it is too distinctive, it is not easy to imitate.

You can't go wrong with picking a more mediocre one.

He doesn't plan to compare calligraphy with the real ancients, as long as calligraphy doesn't hold him back.

If you buy a calligraphy, you must buy brushes, paper, and ink ingots, so when you come out of the bookstore, most of the money bags in Tao Zhu's hands are empty.

When I went to the bookstore, I didn't stop for fifty taels of silver!

But Tao Zhu didn't feel distressed at all, he carefully put these books, paper, pen and ink into the bookcase, and put the bookcase between him and Li Qiao.

Then he looked at Li Qiao: "Let's go to the Moon Tower?" ”

"Well, we're done with business, let's go down to the restaurant." Li Qiao nodded with a smile.

So, the husband and wife drove the ox cart to the backyard of the Moon Tower.

After parking the ox cart, the two of them carried the bookcase to the front yard of the Moon Tower to find the shopkeeper Wang.

It was not yet eleven o'clock, but the lobby of the Mochizuki Tower was already full.

The private rooms on the second floor are also almost full.

But Li Qiao was not worried, he asked Xiao Wu to greet the shopkeeper Wang yesterday, and the shopkeeper Wang left him a private room.

Shopkeeper Wang knew that Li Qiao and Tao Zhu were coming, but he was too busy, so he led Li Qiao and Tao Zhu to the private room on the second floor, and left in a hurry without saying a few words.

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu didn't mind, they were both acquaintances, and the shopkeeper didn't have to spend time entertaining them.

The private room reserved by the shopkeeper Wang is in a good location, by the window, and you can see the street below when you open the window.

Before the food was served, Li Qiao pulled Tao Zhu and opened the window to enjoy the street scene.

After staying in the village for a long time, Li Qiao occasionally wants to see the prosperity of the county.

"Huh? Why did the guy from Mochizuki House go to the teahouse opposite with the stew? As soon as he opened the window, he saw a guy carrying a tray into the teahouse opposite Mochizuki Tower.

There were four bowls of stew on the tray, and he recognized it at a glance, it was a dish that his family had to eat every two days, and it was more popular than a large plate of chicken.

Tao Zhu also saw it, and just as Li Qiao was talking, another guy entered the teahouse with four bowls of stew.

And in the teahouse, the few tables they saw from this angle were already full.

At this time, a guy came in with a teapot to serve tea to their husband and wife, and Li Qiao pointed to the teahouse opposite and asked what the situation was.

After listening to Li Qiao's words, the guy immediately smiled: "Brother Qiao, the business of our Wangyue Tower is so good, many diners have no place to sit, but they are unwilling to leave, so they have to eat our stewed vegetables in Wangyue Tower, so yesterday the shopkeeper rented the teahouse opposite, and anyone who eats stewed vegetables can go to the teahouse opposite." ”

Li Qiao: "......"

He knew that the stewed dishes in Mochizuki Tower sold well, and there were often diners who were willing to stand and eat with bowls, but he didn't expect it to be so popular that he could rent other people's teahouses.

At this time, a very immature voice came from the private room next to him.

"Cousin, this stew is delicious, right? It's still a good job in Mochizuki Tower, and the auspicious building in Fucheng can't make this taste even if you buy vermicelli. ”

"Hmm." A slightly deeper voice responded to the childish voice.

"Then you don't want to go back to Fucheng before the year, you can study while staying in Pingcheng, and you can come to Wangyue Tower to eat every day. Risotto, hot and sour noodles, fried vermicelli, cold noodles, vermicelli buns, vermicelli cakes, wow, each one is delicious. ”

Shen Hua folded his hands to count the vermicelli dishes in Wangyue Tower, even if there was a bowl of luxurious stew in front of him, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

And his cousin Xu Ying not only has a deluxe version of stewed dishes in front of him, but also a bowl of deluxe version of hot and sour noodles.

He was busy soaking up the powder at this time, so he could only answer vaguely.

For so many vermicelli dishes, he is willing to stay in Pingcheng!

Whether it's the noodles in the stew or the noodles in the hot and sour noodles, pick up a chopstick and suck it gently, and the smooth and delicious noodles will enter your mouth.

This feeling, wonderful!

And Shen drew Xu Ying's answer, and clapped his hands happily: "Then I will find the shopkeeper Wang to buy a hundred catties of vermicelli later, and send it to Xu's house with the letter, and you will go back when the New Year comes." ”

Hehe, he hopes that even if there are vermicelli in the restaurants in Fucheng, they will never be able to make the taste of Mochizuki Tower, so that his cousin can stay in Pingcheng forever.

However, thinking of the popularity of vermicelli, he immediately recruited a buddy.

On the first day that Mochizuki Lou launched dry vermicelli, there were sensitive merchants who smelled the smell of money, and these merchants knew that Heijo could only sell vermicelli by Mochizuki Tower, so they sold the vermicelli to Fucheng.

The city is so big, and the noodles are so delicious, but Mochizuki Tower can only provide a few hundred catties of noodles every day, so if he wants to prepare a hundred catties of noodles for the Xu family, he has to make a reservation with the shopkeeper Wang in advance.

Li Qiao's side was forced to listen to the conversation between Shen Hua and Xu Ying, and he couldn't help but say to Tao Zhu: "We really underestimated the charm of vermicelli." ”

Through Xiao Wu's mouth before, they knew that the noodles were selling well.

But hearing the words of the diners with my own ears right now is more refreshing than when I hear them from Xiao Wu's mouth.

"So you're good enough to come up with something like that."

Tao Zhu smiled slightly, looking at Li Qiao's eyes shining.

"Average." Li Qiao waved his hand to divert Tao Zhu's attention, today is Tao Zhu's birthday, and Tao Zhu is the protagonist.

The special dishes of Mochizuki Tower, Li Qiao ordered them all, all kinds of dishes of all sizes filled the whole table, the husband and wife did not drink, replaced the wine with tea, while slowly tasting the food, saying some trivial things over and over again.

Although the home-cooked meal is delicious, it is not as lively and fresh as when you go to the restaurant.

Therefore, Tao Zhu was extremely satisfied with this meal.

The unfinished meal, the two of them packed it and took it away, and then the shopkeeper Wang finally appeared.

Now not only are diners looking for him to buy noodles, but some small traders are also looking for him, and he is so busy every day that he can't have ten of them to deal with all kinds of things.

He appeared at this time, not just to send Li Qiao and Tao Zhu, he also hoped that Li Qiao could expand production, a few hundred catties of vermicelli every day, what is it in front of the vast market of Pingcheng, Fucheng, and surrounding counties?

Nothing is wow.

Besides, seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, and when the New Year is over, the sweet potatoes will not be easy to store, and if the sweet potatoes are bad, then if you want to eat vermicelli again, you will have to wait for next year.

It's not going to work.

Not only did he reluctant, but neither did the majority of diners.

The majority of diners urged him, and he came to urge Li Qiao.

After hearing this, Li Qiao could only respond with two words: do your best.

After leaving the Moon Tower, the husband and wife planned to go back to the village directly, but when they arrived at the city gate, they were stopped by the officials guarding the gate.

"You're Li Qiao from Sanliu Village, right?"

The officer, who looked to be in his fifties, looked at Li Qiao carefully for a few moments, and then asked.

"Official, Xiaosheng is indeed Li Qiao. I don't know what the official is doing to stop Xiaosheng? ”

Li Qiao is neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm.

"It's not me looking for you, it's the magistrate looking for you, come with me."

The old servant motioned for Li Qiao to take the ox cart and go with him.

Li Qiao: "......"

The county magistrate is looking for him?

Tao Zhu on the side, his brain was a little pale, he could only subconsciously look at Li Qiao, how could the county master look for Li Qiao?

Li Qiao didn't do anything.

"Don't be nervous, our county magistrate is approachable, although I don't know what to look for you, but it shouldn't be a bad thing."

The old servant saw that their husbands and husbands were stunned, especially Tao Zhu's nervous face, so he explained a word.

When Li Qiao heard this, she immediately put her heart in her stomach.

He first smiled at the old servant, and then gently took Tao Zhu's hand: "Don't be afraid. ”

At this time, Li Qiao was not wearing gloves, Tao Zhu felt the familiar touch and temperature, and his whitish brain was finally able to turn.

He tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a somewhat stiff smile, which was considered a response to Li Qiao.

Li Qiao was relieved and went to the cattle cart with the other hand.

Tao Zhu hurriedly let go of his hand, in front of the official, he couldn't pull and pull like this.

The old servant looked at this scene and felt strange.

In his aesthetics, Tao Zhu is naturally ugly, he didn't expect Li Qiao, an outstanding reader, to value Tao Zhu so much.

But this has nothing to do with him, he led Li Qiao Taozhu to the county office.
