The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 250 The Answer

Gu Chengyu walked out of the gate of the examination room, took Ming Mo who was waiting outside, and went straight to the teahouse to wait.

"My lord! The ledger has been delivered to the inn, I'll let Mingmo look at it!"

"Is the business in the shop okay?" In fact, Gu Chengyu just asked one more question. Before he arrived in Fucheng, he heard others say that the dishes in Juxianglou are very special. Not necessarily.

"Of course the business is good! But thanks to Mr. Tongzhi's care, otherwise there would have been ruffians coming to the door. Shopkeeper Niu has been very busy recently!" Ming Mo couldn't close his mouth when he mentioned Juxianglou. The food inside is really delicious. When he went there at noon, the hall was already full.

"However, other restaurants have similar dishes to ours, but they are not as authentic as ours. The business of Yipinzhai seems to be a little worse than before. I heard that other pastry shops imitated it, and it is cheaper than ours! "Ming Mo brought the shopkeeper Niu's worries and the original words of the shopkeeper of Yipinzhai to Gu Chengyu.

"Oh? The cake has already been imitated?" Gu Chengyu frowned. It stands to reason that imitating it in such a short period of time should be impossible!Unless you can't find the ingredients in the restaurant's dishes, it's not uncommon for them to be imitated after a long time.

Juxianglou launches a new product every month, and it has always been at the forefront. Even if other restaurants want to imitate it, it will take time, and it is not as delicious as Juxianglou.Besides, in the end, he will take out the food that Dayan Dynasty has never eaten, and be the first person to eat crabs. Is he afraid that he will not make a lot of money?

"There is no cake, it's just that other pastries have already been imitated. There are also other types of pastries for medicinal food, but the shopkeeper of Yipinzhai asked someone to buy it and taste it. The taste is not very good!"

"Are there still many people who buy more expensive pastries?" Yipinzhai takes the boutique route, but it also sells some pastries that ordinary people can afford, which are relatively simple.

"That's not it, it's just that the cheap ones are selling less than before!" These are all written in the ledger, as long as Gu Chengyu checks the ledger, he can see which one sells the best!
"It's normal. Our shop uses solid materials and tastes good, so the price is naturally more expensive. We can't let us do all the business in this world, can we? It's understandable that they will choose cheap shops to buy. You and shopkeeper Jiang Said, let him not worry. After a period of time, just do an activity, which is what I asked him to do before, just follow it, and you won't worry about no business!"

As long as the big family buys it, everything else is a small profit. He can't make other pastry shops lose their way of life, can he?

The name of Yipinzhai has already been established, so Gu Chengyu will not worry about running out of business, he must make high-quality goods if he wants to do it.However, he bowed his head and thought for a while, this time he came to Fucheng, the relationship between Tongzhi Wang still needs to be closer.

"Chengyu! I knew you were enjoying it here!" Sun Xian walked in from the outside, sweating profusely, and was wiping the sweat with a handkerchief.Gu Chengyu noticed with sharp eyes that the handkerchief Sun Xian held in his hand was a moon-white muslin handkerchief with emerald bamboo embroidered on it. Isn't the emerald bamboo embroidery method his second sister's handicraft?
Sun Xian noticed Gu Chengyu's gaze, and hurriedly put the handkerchief back into his sleeve pocket with some embarrassment.

Gu Chengyu smiled, isn't it normal for unmarried men and women to give gifts to each other?Last time he saw a hairpin on his second sister's head that he didn't buy!That silver hairpin didn't seem to be handmade by the family at first glance. Although it was not expensive, it could be seen that it was chosen with care, and it was very suitable for her second sister's age.

"It's so hot today, why don't you come in to escape the heat? Senior Brother Sun, can you be sure this time?" Gu Chengyu knew that with Sun Xian's knowledge, he should be able to pass.

While the two were talking, He Shunian and Ye Zhiqiu also came in.

"This exam is really difficult. I don't know if I did the two math questions correctly. Let's check the answers! Then how much did you fill out?" He Shunian frowned as soon as he entered the door.

He was already at the bottom of the list because of poor poetry in the last round. If he made a wrong math problem this time, wouldn't he have to wait another three years?It's really not reconciled!This is the last game.

"Chengyu! How much do you write?" Seeing them talking about this, Ye Zhiqiu was not sure if his answer was right or not.

"For the first question, I wrote 190 words for pears and [-] seven words for fruits. The answer to the second question is three cups. What about you?" Gu Chengyu was still a little confident about the answers to the two questions. He calculated After three times, all I got was an answer, so I shouldn't be wrong.

"Ah? I wrote 830 Si Wen for pears, 160 Liu Wen for fruits, and five lamps for the second question. We are different! What about you?" He Shunian yelled, hearing Gu Chengyu's words The answer was different from his, and my heart suddenly became nervous.

"I and Chengyu have the same answer." Ye Zhiqiu was also relieved to hear that Gu Chengyu had the same answer as him.Both of them have the same answer, so there should be more chances of being right, right?Besides, that person is Gu Chengyu!He has great confidence in Gu Chengyu.

"My answer to the first question is the same as theirs, but I also wrote five lamps for the second question, which seems to be wrong." Sun Xian had the same idea as Ye Zhiqiu, he thought that he was indeed wrong about the second question.

He Shunian's face turned pale right now, but he still had hope in his heart, maybe they were wrong?

Gu Chengyu and the others were on their way back, He Shunian seemed a little lost, and his heart was heavy.

"Senior Brother He, the list will be released tomorrow, right or wrong, we haven't decided yet, don't think too much at this time, we will find out when the list is released tomorrow!" Gu Chengyu couldn't see it, so he went up to comfort him.

"I know, it's a big deal that I will come again in three years, but I just feel that it's a pity that it's the last one!" He Shunian laughed forcefully.

In fact, he knew in his heart that he would definitely not be able to pass this exam, so how could the imperial examination be so easy?His father also said that to pass the government examination at his age is already quite remarkable.It's just that he has been with Gu Chengyu and others who are talented in reading, so his confidence has been hit.

Sun Xian was also very anxious, he made a wrong arithmetic question, and he must not deduct the wrong question in the following poems, otherwise he will also suspend this time.

Sun Xian opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but Gu Chengyu glanced at him, and suddenly came to his senses, only then did he realize that He Shunian's mood was already very low, and it was no longer suitable to ask at this moment.

A few people were not in the mood to eat in the lobby anymore, so they all ordered meals and went back to their rooms to eat.When Gu Chengyu returned to his room, he saw Ming Yan and two ledgers on the table.

"My lord! This is the profit of the pastry shop and restaurant within three months, please take a look at it." Ming Yan said to the coming lord.

The exam has been passed, and Gu Chengyu is relaxed.He sat down at the table, and then carefully looked at the ledger.
