The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Lingnan, Ying County.

"Mother, my son has found out that the head of the women's culinary academy is the current empress and Mrs. Zhongqin! Let's go to the capital and stay here. What else do we mothers have to survive?
Dad is gone, this restaurant, no matter how much money you make, it will be cheaper than the second uncle's and third uncle's, mother, let's go! "

A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy begged bitterly. Their Mi's restaurant was supported by his mother.

However, his second uncle is the cashier, and his third uncle is the one who buys. Every month, her mother can only receive five taels of silver as wages.

Grandma kept saying that it was all up to Mi's family to support their eldest family, and he didn't want to serve her a long time ago. Now, as long as he can convince his mother, he doesn't want to stay in this hellish place to be tortured by others.

Mi Shi is a child bride-in-law, and she came to Mi's family when she was three years old. She was raised as a daughter at the beginning. At that time, Mi's family was in this county and opened a small restaurant.

Old man Mi's small restaurant has a good business, and with spare money, he sent all three of his sons to school.

The young adoptive daughter, Mi Shi, has been a child laborer since she was five years old. Seeing her diligent and studious, old man Mi tried to teach her to cook, but unexpectedly, she was still better than blue.

When Mi Shi grew up to 15 years old, many diners came here for Mi Shi's craftsmanship. The Mi family didn't want to marry Mi Shi, and the fat water went to outsiders.

Directly turning the adopted daughter into a daughter-in-law, the Mi family can only match the eldest of the Mi family in terms of age at that time.

Boss Mi is a loyal person. When he was newly married, he even taught his sister-in-law how to read, and he loved his wife.

After becoming a daughter-in-law, the Mi family worked hard. In less than ten years, the family's small restaurant became one of the best restaurants in the county, and finally the owner of the Mi family became the Mi family.

After the boss of the Mi family was implicated in a lawsuit by the second son of the Mi family, and was beaten to death by his cellmates in the cell.Not only did the father-in-law and mother-in-law not blame Mi Laoer, but they were very strict with her daughter-in-law, fearing that she would remarry, and fearing that she would not care about the restaurant and beat her all day long.

Over the years, Mrs. Mi has only given birth to a son and a daughter. Her daughter Yaya is only eight years old. She came home when she was three years old, and she has long been used to the virtues of her parents-in-law.

But Mi Shutian, her son is not happy, this son is smart, he has seen through the Mi family's behavior, and just wants his mother to take them away from this place.In Mi's heart, she obeys her husband when she gets married, and her son after her husband's death. She has to care about her son's opinion.

"But, your grandparents hold our family's household registration. If we sneak away, we won't be able to leave our county, let alone enter the capital. If Mother said that she wanted to be a teacher, your grandparents would definitely not be happy! "

"Then, mother, what if our grandma is willing to share our eldest room?" Mi Shutian saw that his mother was willing to listen to his suggestion, and his mind immediately became active. There may be the nickname of "Sai Zhuge".

"Son, you."

A few days later, the main chef of the most famous Mijia restaurant in the county accidentally drank the wrong thing and lost his sense of taste. After seeing several doctors, they all shook their heads and said that it could not be cured.

The Mi family didn't give up, they couldn't taste the taste, and the craftsmanship was still there, but the Mi's standard was so bad that regular customers couldn't eat the fried dishes, which offended a lot of people.

Master Mi, the old club who had retired behind the scenes for many years, had to come out of the rivers and lakes at this time and take charge again.

And Mi Shi, who lost her sense of taste, was separated from her family together with her children, and only got a small house and 100 taels of family silver.

For a restaurant with a profit of at least 3000 taels a year, the neighbors couldn't help but shake their heads when they were assigned to this restaurant.

The mother and son who were separated did not leave home. After half a month, someone knocked on the door and found out that the mother and son had all left home.

Everyone in the Mi family was stunned, but after inquiring for a long time, they didn't know where the eldest daughter-in-law's family was going, so they had to give up.

Mi Shi, who was being discussed by them, had already arrived in Fucheng and participated in the primary election. In the end, with excellent results, he was recommended by the prefect to go to the capital.

Ningjiang Mansion, Yao Family Steamed Bun Shop.

The 32-year-old Yao Shi is the proprietress of a well-known steamed stuffed bun shop in Ningjiang Prefecture. Her crab roe soup dumpling and crystal oil buns are so delicious that the magistrate's house sends people to buy them every day.

Ordinarily, in such a popular steamed stuffed bun shop, the proprietress should have a good life, but Mrs. Yao looks like she is 40 years old, with a sad face all the year round.

Those who are familiar with his family's situation will sigh: This Dayao is just unlucky.

Dayao, Yao Dayao, is a man from the Yao family. He was selected as a scholar at the age of 15, and now he is 36 years old. He has passed the Juren examination six times.

Either he had diarrhea and became dehydrated in the cell, or his head was smashed and his leg fell before the exam, and he drank too much at the same year's house before the exam. When he woke up, the exam was the next day.

It's really a young man who got his name, but he has been wasted and has not yet won the name of Juren.His daughter-in-law is also the young lady of the scholarly family, and it will be Dayao's most prosperous years when she marries into Yao's family.

The husband who is a scholar and doesn't care about childbirth, once every three years, Yao gave birth to three sons in a row. The family is not a wealthy family, so he is worried about making a living.In the end, Yao's natal family couldn't see it, so they sent their mother-in-law with the best noodle skills.

The woman went to Yao's house, and after discussing with Yao, she decided to sell steamed stuffed buns.Steamed buns are not just steamed buns. My mother-in-law’s pastry making skills are superb. Ordinary steamed buns can be made into layers of shredded steamed buns, which are soft and tough.

There are more than 20 kinds of sweet and salty flavors for stuffed buns, among which the crab roe filled soup buns and crystal oil buns are her best.

Yao Shi also followed her for two years, but before she could learn all the skills of her mother-in-law, another accident occurred in her natal family, and her mother-in-law was asked to meet with her natal family again.

Since that year, Yao has opened a steamed stuffed bun shop in this way, supporting five members of the family, three sons are also studying, and four scholars, how can the annual expenses be reduced?

This year Dayao is going to take the exam for the seventh time, and he said that he is very confident about this time.If he passed the Juren examination, he would have to go to the capital to take the Jinshi examination, but someone like Dayao who didn't work hard and couldn't distinguish grains would have to be caught blind when he entered the capital.

When the recruitment notice in Ningjiang Mansion was spread by the diners, Yao's mind became active.Back then, she knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but now she doesn't dare to look at her old appearance in the bronze mirror. If she can become a female teacher, that would be great!
Yao shi did not hide his thoughts from Yao shi. Dayao could see the dedication he had made to his wife in the past few years. He had a lot of confidence in himself for this year's exam, so he agreed to Yao shi to apply for the job after thinking about it for one night. .

"Ma'am, although making steamed buns can make money, my husband knows how hard it is to make breakfast. Madam's arm is so swollen that she can't lift it up after a while. If you are a wife, you don't have to work so hard, and sooner or later you will have to do it for your husband." Those who enter the capital to take the Jinshi examination, you can try it!"

"Yes, but if you fail the exam this time, my husband, I can't let the four of you, father and son, enter the capital alone?"

Dayao was in a hurry: "Why can't you trust me as a husband? I said that if you can pass the exam, you will definitely pass the exam. This time, I won't go anywhere. I will stay at our house. On the day of the exam, let Da'er and Er'er see me off." go!"

A job advertisement has disturbed the minds of many families and women, and there are very few people like Yao who have received the support of their husbands, but for their own future, there are still many people who are ruthless.

At this time, the decoration of the Women's Culinary Academy has been completed and listed. It is also the emperor's calligraphy that Empress Gao asked for.

The main entrance of Wujin Academy is wide open, and the plaque on the main entrance is "Daxia Women's Culinary Academy", in big characters in regular script.

There are [-] classrooms in the first courtyard. The windows are all made of glazed glass, and the lighting is very good. Each classroom is also equipped with blackboards and chalks. The chalks made of plaster are even good for Cai Jijiu.

Not to mention the big kitchen, with the blessing of ceramic tiles, it is bright and clean, and the mood of cooking can be lifted.

The dormitory in Datongpu can accommodate ten students in one room, and each dormitory is equipped with a hut and a washroom.

I also made a whole wall wardrobe on the wall, one for each person, which can be locked.The college also issued uniform clothing to the students, from the inside to the outside, with four distinct seasons.

The first hundred Shantang students who moved in were all pleasantly surprised by the accommodation conditions, which are much better than Shantang.When I arrived at the big bathhouse, I had a good wash and changed into new clothes. I was so happy that I could only roll around on the Datong bunk.

There are three dishes and one soup in the cafeteria every day. There is also a meat dish for each meal. The staple food is mixed noodles. It’s too full to eat. This shrimp, seaweed and egg drop soup tastes delicious. It’s seafood. !

The fee quota in the hands of Queen Gao is very popular. The one-year tuition fee is 200 taels, the three-year tuition is 500 taels, the five-year tuition is 800 taels, and the board and lodging service is 20 taels per person per year. The quota is only [-]. indivual.

As soon as the news was released, Mrs. Xiang, who was about to give birth, was harassed. With a big belly, she went to Uncle Zhongqin's mansion to complain:
"Let's not talk about other families, even our Duke of Wei's mansion has robbed their heads. If the little girls learn one and a half ways to return to the mansion, their value will not be doubled. It's a pity that our mansion only got two The number of places, the old lady can say, if you want to learn, you can learn from the best, after five years of study, you can take the first-class girl as an example when you come back."

"Hehe, the old lady has a vision. In the five-year system, except for the basic skills in the first year, in the next four years, you can choose all the things you are interested in learning. There are only one trick and a half. The big dishes in my hand are all You can learn more than ten things."

"Wow, that's really great. Do you want to recruit more students next year? We, the Duke of Wei, are not afraid of paying tuition fees, and we can afford ten more places!"

"You are really not greedy, I will also open a confinement meal course, when the time comes, let the girls in your house learn and use it!"

"I'm so blessed, I will definitely raise your daughter-in-law to be fat and fat!"

The old lady Cuihua wants to refuse, she is only in her 20s and doesn't want to be a mother-in-law!
