Chapter 56: Bold Ideas
"What? What did you say?
Zhang's exploded, and as he spoke, a hand had already beckoned to Zhang Ziheng's ear.
Zhang Ziheng was afraid of his mother, where would he stand there and let Zhang's move, as soon as he saw Zhang's action, he ran away without saying a word.
Seeing that his son didn't let himself be pinched, he only felt that his heart was dripping blood, and his son didn't love her anymore.
Thinking like this, he chased after the golden stick that he cut back with the thickness of his index finger on the first day of the first lunar month, and after a while, he heard Zhang Ziheng's screams.
"Little rabbit cub, the old lady beat you, you still dare to run, say, do you dislike me, I pulled you up with a handful of and urine, and now in the end, you actually dislike me, my heart, it hurts. β
As he spoke, Zhang pulled the golden stick towards Zhang Ziheng's body.
Zhang Ziheng originally thought that his mother was angry because her husband invited her to the academy, but at first glance, his mother was not so angry at all?
Thinking about it, Zhang Ziheng hurriedly screamed and spoke: "Mother, mother, I don't dislike you, how dare I dislike you, you are my best mother, how can I dislike you." β
Zhang Ziheng felt that he couldn't figure out what his mother was thinking about all day.
originally thought that he had already expressed his position, and he should stop fighting at this time, but he didn't want to, and the stick in Zhang's hand became more and more vigorous.
"You don't dislike me, so why don't you let me pinch you?"
What? What the hell?
Zhang Ziheng was stunned, what kind of crooked reasoning is this, just don't dislike her by beating her? Thinking of this, Zhang Ziheng suddenly wanted to cry without tears.
Mother, if you want to beat me, is it not good to say it? Why do you have to think of so many reasons and excuses?
In this way, after a fat beating, Zhang took a breath, sat down on the stone bench in the small courtyard, and looked at Zhang Ziheng, who had no love.
"Tell me, what is the reason for asking the old lady to clean up the mess for you. Zhang also relieved himself at this time, combed his somewhat disheveled hair, and said slowly.
Seeing Zhang's like this, Zhang Ziheng couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and he said that his mother would not let him go so easily.
Thinking about it, Zhang Ziheng told the Zhang family about going out to eat in the dog hole, Rao is Zhang thought about various reasons, but when he heard that his son invited her to the academy because of the dog hole, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
"You mean, you got into the dog hole because you went out to eat?" Mrs. Zhang's thinking was always so jumping, and Zhang Ziheng couldn't keep up.
"Yes, yes. Zhang Ziheng opened his mouth tremblingly, said, and hurriedly continued: "Mother, that meal is really delicious, after eating that meal, I don't want to eat the academy's food anymore, not only I think it's delicious, but Sirui also thinks it's delicious." β
Originally, Zhang's family was still thinking about which restaurant was the food for his son, and he had to go to the dog hole, but when he heard Zhang Ziheng say this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"You mean, the place where Si Rui's kid ate recently is the same place as the place where you eat?" Si Rui is the only seedling of the second brother's family, and the family is worried about him because he doesn't eat, and this time he is finally willing to eat, which is a big deal in Zhang's Mansion, of course, everyone knows.
While speaking, he glanced at Zhang Ziheng, whose face was much better, and couldn't help but nodded, well, his body is a lot better.
Thinking so, he sat up from the stone bench.
Zhang Ziheng, who was about to speak, was taken aback when he saw Zhang standing up.
"Mother, you, what are you doing?" wouldn't you still beat him?
"Aren't you going to the academy? β
As he spoke, he straightened his clothes and walked out first, Zhang Ziheng saw this and hurriedly followed.
In the academy, Bai Yu, Ji Linyuan, Zhang's, and Zhang Ziheng had already waited at the door of Song Lian's study, and Xue's was the last to arrive, seeing that she was not the only one who had invited her, as well as Bai Yu and a lady she didn't know, she couldn't help but settle down.
"Yu'er, this, this will be fine, right?" Xue Shi was nervous at the moment, although the cold rain had made it clear to her along the way, but in the end, it was the first time she came to the academy, and she was still nervous.
Seeing this, Bai Yu reached out and patted Xue's hand: "Don't worry, auntie, it's okay." "What's the matter, and it's not illegal to kill anyone.
As he spoke, Song Lian walked over, glanced at Bai Yu and the others, and reached out to open the door of the study.
"A few of you should already know the purpose of Song's invitation to come, right?"
Song Lian actually drilled a dog hole to his students to go out to eat, this matter really doesn't know how to say, the food in the academy has meat and vegetables, where is it not delicious?
"I know, it's my son's dog hole, and Dean Song is indeed his fault in this matter. Zhang also knew that his son was the main culprit, and the other two were the first to speak up because they were punished for accompanying him.
Zhang said that Zhang Ziheng was wrong, but there was no meaning that Zhang Ziheng was wrong, dog hole, who wouldn't drill two in his life?
When Song Lian saw that Zhang's appearance of drilling a dog hole was just like this, his heart suddenly shook: "Do you know what he is doing when he drills a dog hole?"
In order to have a meal, he drilled a dog hole and did not bend his waist for five buckets of rice? This meal did not have five buckets of rice, not only did he bend his waist, but he even drilled the dog hole.
"Going out to eat?" Zhang looked at Song Lian's angry face and said with some doubts, so angry, isn't it eating? Thinking like this, Zhang threw an eye knife on Zhang Ziheng's body.
Suddenly, Zhang Ziheng only felt cold, and when he turned his head, he saw his old lady looking at him murderously, and hurriedly spoke: "Mother, I really went out to eat, just eating, I don't believe you ask Mr." "He's so afraid that his mother will beat him up again, after all, it's in the academy, he still wants to save face.
As soon as Zhang heard him say this, he hurriedly looked at Song Lian: "Dean Song, Ziheng, did he lie? Did he go out to do something hurtful to the heavens and reason?"
Song Lian couldn't help but darken his face when he saw this: "He didn't lie, he just went out to eat." β
When Zhang heard this, a smile appeared on her face, and she said that she didn't dare to lie.
Bai Yu looked at the appearance of Zhang and Zhang Ziheng's mother and son, and couldn't help laughing, this mother and son are really interesting, for Zhang's temperament, Bai Yu likes it tightly, thinking that if there is a chance in the future, it is also good to make friends.
After Song Lian and Zhang talked for a while, they turned their attention to Bai Yu again.
"Dean Song, I know that this matter is wrong with Lin Yuan. β
In any case, Song Lian is a teacher, and he still has a good attitude to admit his mistakes.
Bai Yu wanted to say more, but interrupted Song Lian coldly.
"I heard Lin Yuan say that you made the food they ate?"
Song Lian asked coldly, and the few people present did not react, and Bai Yu was stunned: "Yes, yes." β
What is this dean going to do?
The Zhang family on the side originally wanted to go to the restaurant where his son ate to see what was delicious, and even let his son drill the dog hole just to go out to eat.
I never thought that the person who was cooking was here, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at Bai Yu, and he would go out later, and eat something??
Zhang's thinking was already far away, and Song Lian on the side looked at Bai Yu, thinking that the food that Lin Yuan brought him last time was indeed a lot more delicious.
Zhang Ziheng and Ji Linyuan, who were on the side, saw Song Lian asking this, and their hearts suddenly rose.
"Sir, it's my sister-in-law's food that is too delicious, I'm going to eat it myself, it has nothing to do with my sister-in-law, don't scold her" Zhang Ziheng was anxious.
"Mr. ......"
"Mr. ......"
Ji Linyuan and Xue Hanyu were also anxious, the sister-in-law was still young, and the husband was notoriously strict, thinking that Song Lian might scold Bai Yu later, several people couldn't help but blame themselves at the moment.
"The food in the academy is really not delicious??" Song Lian asked suspiciously when he saw the three students who were already in a hurry.
"It's really not tasty. Zhang Ziheng was also confused by Song Lian's appearance, but he still subconsciously spoke.
Compared with Zhang Ziheng's fast mouth, Ji Linyuan and Xue Hanyu are a lot more cautious.
The first to speak was Xue Hanyu: "Sir, the food in the academy is also delicious for the students, but the food cooked by my sister-in-law is more delicious." "For him from a poor family, it is good to be able to eat, but the food made by Bai Yu is not only satisfying, but also delicious.
"Hmm. As soon as Xue Hanyu's words were finished, Ji Linyuan responded in a low voice.
Seeing that his two most proud protΓ©gΓ©s and Zhang Ziheng both said this, Song Lian looked at Bai Yu: "If the little lady is willing, can you go to the kitchen to cook a meal." β
After Ji Linyuan and the others left, Song Lian was also reflecting, and at the same time, he went to Ji Linyuan's bedroom to ask, only to know that in addition to the three of them, the other people in the dormitory also ate the food brought by Zhang Ziheng, and they were all full of praise, and they couldn't help but reflect on whether the food in the academy was really not delicious?
The students of the college are taught living expenses, although they can't pay too much attention to the appetite, the body is the capital, if the students are not in good health, how can they study well.
Originally, I thought that Song Lian would give her a lecture or something, but I never thought that he would say this, and everyone present looked at Song Lian in surprise.
"Yes ......"
After a long time, Bai Yu reacted and responded in a low voice, Song Lian saw that Bai Yu agreed, so he asked Ji Linyuan to wait for her to go to the kitchen.
Seeing Song Lian say this, a few people on the side understood that today's matter was probably in the past.
Seeing this, the Xue family on the side couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she didn't worry about Bai Yu's cooking skills at all.
The kitchen of the academy is not small, and there are two mothers-in-law and a cook in it, and when they saw Ji Linyuan taking people there, they couldn't help but look at Ji Linyuan in surprise.
"It's not time to eat yet, why are you still bringing people here?"
The cook was invited by Song Lian in the county seat, called Qi Meng is the old man of this academy, he has been in charge of the meals of the students of the academy, and his cooking skills are not comparable to the chefs of the restaurant, but he boasts that his cooking skills are not bad, and when he saw Ji Linyuanzi coming to the kitchen, he couldn't help frowning.
Now these students are really getting more and more disagreeable, and before they can eat, they run to the kitchen.
"My husband asked me to bring my sister-in-law to cook two dishes. β
As soon as Ji Linyuan's words were finished, Qi Meng's eyes shrank, what does the dean mean by letting others come to the kitchen to cook?
After thinking about it, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Bai Yu carefully, the more he looked at it, the more relieved Qi Meng became, and he couldn't help but show a contemptuous smile in his eyes.
At this height, it's just a little taller than the stove, and you're still cooking?
His cooking skills are not good, and he has been learning to cook with the master since he was a child, and he didn't become a teacher until the twenty-fourth year, and he didn't believe that this little lady was just a teenager, and he didn't believe that she could make any flowers.
After thinking about it, he said, "Since the dean has said it, the little lady should come quickly." As he spoke, he let the side go.
The contempt in Qi Meng's eyes, Bai Yu naturally saw it, and she was noncommittal about it, whether there was this cooking skill or not was not said, it was the real ability.
Two steps to the stove, looked at the kitchen ingredients, I have to say, the kitchen ingredients are still very sufficient, compared with the restaurant, thinking that Song Lian is still waiting in the study, and they don't plan to do any complicated dishes.
I glanced at the freshly killed fish on the side, and wanted to make boiled fish, but found that there was no seasoning I wanted, and it was not necessarily delicious to make.
The round potatoes turned into shredded potatoes of uniform thickness with the kitchen knife waved by Bai Yu.
Qi Meng on the side looked at the shredded potatoes cut out by Bai Yu, he was still full of confidence, but his face changed at the moment, the potatoes could be cut so finely, just looking at this knife work, he knew that this widow was afraid that she had two brushes.
I have been cutting potatoes so finely for so many years, thinking like this, the weather is not hot, and dense sweat is pouring out of Qi Meng's forehead.
Ji Linyuan took Bai Yu to the kitchen for fear that Qi Meng would show Bai Yu's face, so he didn't leave, anyway, Mr. said so, there is a good chance that this matter will be forgotten today, so he doesn't have to rush over.
He just stood on the side of the kitchen, not bothering Bai Yu, quietly watching her concentrated, and the whole person exuded a burning brilliance.
Bai Yu cut the potatoes, cut two slices of sour radish on the side, cut it into shreds, directly burned the oil, and when the oil was warm, put the sour radish and pepper to fry it first, and then put the shredded potatoes in, then add salt and dogwood, and then directly start the pot.
Qi Meng looked at Bai Yu's movements, and saw that she was so fried, and she didn't even add water to the pot, and the original nervous mood was suddenly gone, this potato must still be raw without adding water, and I thought I had met a master when I saw her action of cutting shredded potatoes, so I looked at it like this, it was blind, and there was nothing to worry about.
After thinking about it, Qi Meng went directly to the side, Bai Yu didn't pay attention to it when he saw this, and went directly to Song Lian's study with the shredded potatoes, and Ji Linyuan followed closely when he saw this.
When Bai Yu arrived at the study, the first reaction was Zhang Ziheng, since eating the food made by Bai Yu, Zhang Ziheng felt that he had a tendency to become a dog's nose, and from a distance, he could smell the fragrance of the food.
As soon as Bai Yu entered the door, Zhang Ziheng turned his head violently, looked at Bai Yu with burning eyes, and was about to go to her side, but was pulled suddenly.
As soon as I turned my head, I saw my old lady looking at me, and her eyes were about to pop out, and I remembered that I was still in my husband's study.
With such an awareness, Zhang Ziheng turned around and didn't move again, Xue Hanyu on the side saw Zhang Ziheng's appearance, and couldn't help but support his forehead, this person is really, dogs can't change eating, and they can't care about anything when they smell their sister-in-law's food.
Song Lian smelled the fragrance of the vegetables from a distance, and he naturally saw Zhang Ziheng's movements, but he also turned a blind eye and didn't care.
Bai Yu walked in front of Song Lian with sour and hot potato shreds, and Ji Linyuan, who was following her, handed over the chopsticks.
"Dean Song will just eat, there are many ingredients in the kitchen, but many things are more time-consuming, so I fried a vegetarian dish. β
Song Lian nodded when he heard this, took the chopsticks handed over by Ji Linyuan, ate a mouthful of sour and spicy shredded potatoes, couldn't help but squint his eyes, and then ate two more bites.
If Bai Yu hadn't said that this was a potato, he probably wouldn't have known that this was a potato, the potatoes he had eaten had a powdery texture, it was not as crisp as this, and the taste was very sour and spicy, very appetizing. Just such a dish is much better than the dishes of the academy.
Zhang Ziheng on the side saw Song Lian eating shredded potatoes, his eyes were about to pop out, if it weren't for Song Lian, he couldn't wait to go up and grab two bites at this moment.
Zhang looked at his son's painful look, as if Song Lian was not eating vegetables but his meat, and couldn't help but hold her forehead, she had never seen her son's virtue, and her heart became more and more curious about Bai Yu's craftsmanship.
"The Little Lady Academy wants to invite you to the Academy to cook, I don't know if the Little Lady is willing? β
As soon as Song Lian's words came out, several people present raised their heads in surprise, especially Zhang Ziheng, the whole person was happy, if his sister-in-law was cooking in the academy, then he wouldn't be able to eat his sister-in-law's meals every day, thinking of this, Zhang Ziheng felt that the future days would not be too good.
This month's two taels of silver a month is considered high in the county, if it was before, Bai Yu would definitely agree, but now her restaurant, looking small, can sell at least two taels of silver a day, busy is a little busy, but she earns a lot.
Almost without thinking about it, Bai Yu refused: "Dean Song, I still have a small restaurant at home, I'm afraid it won't work." β
Zhang Ziheng was happy, when he heard Bai Yu's refusal, his heart, which was still happy, fell down like a roller coaster, and he only felt that the whole person was not good.
What Zhang Ziheng's mood was, Bai Yu didn't know, but Bai Yu paused as he spoke: "But if Dean Song wants to cook food for the students of the academy, it's not impossible." β
"I will send you a food box every day as many meals as you want every day, so that the business of my restaurant will not fall, and the meals of the students of the academy will not fall. β
Song Lian didn't think that Bai Yu would refuse, but when she said this, she didn't say anything.
After a long time, Song Lian raised his head and looked at Bai Yu: "Okay, just do what the little lady said, how much is the living expenses for this day?"
For college students, the monthly living expenses are two taels, and I don't know if I can meet them.
Bai Yu thought about it when she heard this, so she calculated the price of the meals she cooked every day, and quoted the price: "Five hundred wen a day, about one or two halves a month." β
Song Lian listened to Bai Yu's offer, and was calculating, when he heard that Bai Yu had already calculated, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, this little lady actually knew how to calculate, and it was faster than him.
I couldn't help but look at Bai Yu in my heart, thinking that it was only one and a half a month, not to mention the deliciousness, and it could save the students five yuan in living expenses, so I made a decision right away.
"In this case, from next month, the little lady will bring food to the academy. "As for this month, Qi Meng has been doing it here for so many years, he always has to give him a buffer time, not to mention, the academy has prepared a lot of ingredients, and he must finish eating, otherwise it will be wasted.
Zhang Ziheng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Song Lian agree, although from next month, there are not many days left in this month, and the patience will pass, and he will be able to eat his sister-in-law's food until next month, thinking like this, Zhang Ziheng almost laughed out loud.
Coming out of the academy, Zhang and Bai Yu said goodbye to them and went back to the house directly, Bai Yu walked on the street, the whole person was happy, from now on, she is also a person with a fixed source of customers, her restaurant business is good, but it is not a fixed business in the end, now there is a fixed business of the academy, and the restaurant will not open in the future, and there will be an entry for the academy.
There are about a hundred people in this academy, one person is one tael of silver a month, and there are one hundred taels that month, excluding the capital, there is still a lot left, thinking like this, Bai Yu almost laughed out loud.
"Yu'er, there are so many people in the academy, you deliver so many meals every day, are you busy?"
When Xue heard that Song Lian handed over the life of the academy students to Bai Yu, he was also happy for her, but then he thought that Bai Yu's restaurant was alone, and there were so many people in the academy, just cooking the meals of the academy students, I am afraid they were all busy enough, not to mention the business of the restaurant, thinking of this, Xue was a little worried about Bai Yu.
Bai Yuzheng was happy, and after hearing Xue's words, he couldn't help frowning, and turned his head to look at Xue: "Auntie, why don't you and Ziyi come to me to help, the tofu business can also be done here, and by the way, it's close to the cold rain." β
When the Xue family heard this, they were stunned for a moment, thinking that Bai Yu was really too busy, she had helped their family so much, so that they had their own livelihood, Bai Yu couldn't be busy at this time, and it was also appropriate to come to help, besides, if they were in the county seat, the cold rain would not have to run at both ends.
After thinking about it, Xue Shi didn't say a word.
Seeing that the Xue family responded, Bai Yu went to find the carriage and went back directly with the Xue family, anyway, they all wanted to ask someone to help, Bai Yu planned to invite Widow Zhang to the county seat to help her, she had a bold idea in her heart, but now the restaurant has just started, if it stabilizes, this idea may also be implemented at that time.
Thinking like this, Bai Yu's heart became more and more excited, and he took a carriage to the town, and the Xue family went to the Shengcai Restaurant first, and told the shopkeeper that she was going to the county seat, and saw if he could let Xiao Er go to the county seat to get tofu back in the future.
In fact, the road to the county seat is not farther than the road to Xuejia Village, and it will not take much time to go back and forth.
Xue explained the matter, called an ox cart in the town and went back.
Bai Yu took the carriage back to Sanpai Village.
