The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

227 The Big Name
Beijing, Daxia Women's Culinary Academy.

From the 25th of the twelfth lunar month to the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the college exams took place one after another.

The students worked hard, showing off the various cooking skills they have learned this year.

The reason why the exam is placed here is because at this time of year, the empress will reward many ingredients.

It is convenient for students, used for exams, all kinds of frying and stewing.

"Ah, ah, ah! My shredded radish, who put my shredded radish in salad!"

The skill of the knife was obtained after cutting tens of thousands of radishes.She got the highest score today, and she hasn't eaten the spoils yet.

"Senior Sister, I've finished my knife test. Hey, I didn't adjust the taste of the cold dish last time. I'll use your shredded radish to save the day."

The senior sister's shredded radish is as thin as a hair, and the cold salad can taste quickly, and she has been coveting it for a long time.

"It's over, it's over! The medicinal food test is the first round today, who stole my red dates? Hurry up and return it to me!"

Intuit doesn't pay attention to it, just steal it and don't pay it back.What she is doing today is to treat spleen and stomach yang deficiency with cold and dampness, loss of appetite, diarrhea and other diseases.

After finally saving a catty of jujubes, the people in the dormitory touched them all.

"Hey, my pigeons, the pigeons I have raised for so long, are going to be made into a dish today!"

"Tutu, you're so good, why are you willing to eat them?" The rabbits that the empress gave this year were white, and the little girls kept them as pets for a few days.

Before the white rabbit was killed, they all wanted to cry, why are there no gray and black ones?

The culinary academy has two exams a year, one at the end of the year and one in the middle of the year.

The test scores will be graded by the head of the mountain and the head of the department on the spot, and the top five in each department will get scholarships ranging from ten taels to six taels.

If you do well in the exam, you can go up the grade after returning to the master’s house, and you can get more monthly money to work as a cook in a restaurant. Who would not pay attention to it?
People passing by the college street can smell the smell of meat wafting from the college.

"Based on my 30 years of experience in Zongheng restaurants, I should be making braised chicken at the moment. I don't know what medicinal materials are used. How can it be so fragrant?" Don't you want to get full?

"It's not a meal, this college has been cooking big meat for three consecutive days."

"Ask me, I know! Hehe, there is an exam in the school. Tsk tsk, the scholar of the academy is taking the essay test, and this cook is naturally going to take the skill test! Not to mention, just by smelling the smell, you can tell that he is not bad at learning!"

"Not only is it not bad, it tastes better than many restaurants"

A group of people who had nothing to do squatted in the corner outside the academy, gossiping, smelling the aroma and talking.

What suffers the most is that the neighbors who live on the left and right sides of the college, the smaller dolls in the family are often made to cry.

On the eve of the New Year's Eve, all the masters in the college will leave the stage together.

It is no exaggeration to say that teachers and students can eat famous dishes from all over the Great Xia Dynasty on New Year's Eve.

More than [-]% of the wives came to the capital from other places, and they have spent the New Year in the capital for two consecutive years.

Twenty students graduated this year, and all of them returned to their original home.

The worst ones can be promoted to second-class maids, and most of them are transferred to do small cooking for the mistress or ladies.

Most of the students selected from Shantang are three-year students, and they still have one year to graduate.

At that time, I can go to the hot pot restaurant opened by the empress, or work as a cook in a restaurant.

The head of the mountain also said that she will help recommend employment for those with excellent grades.

There are so many restaurants in Daxia, they don't have to worry about work.

A dozen of the older boys in the shantang learned some skills of making snacks from their sisters.

A few of them are still setting up noodle stalls on the side of the road in Zhongqin Town. A small stall can earn two or three taels of silver a month, no problem at all.

On New Year's Eve, the boys close their stalls early, and they will go back to the Shantang to spend the New Year with their younger brothers and sisters.

I can use the money I earn to buy new cloth for my younger brothers and sisters, and make new clothes for each of them.

They are full of energy, and they are willing to continue to set up stalls on the first day of the new year.

In a courtyard not far from the academy, Yao Dashou, Yao Juren, and his three sons were pasting couplets.

"Father, the couplet at our gate has been removed again!" The seven-year-old son pouted, very unhappy.Why are the people in Beijing so unqualified?The couplets at the gate of his house have been uncovered five times.

"Hahaha, the neighbors in the neighborhood like your father's writing, it's okay, it's okay, dad will continue to write!" What's so embarrassing about writing couplets a few times?He is very happy.

Yao Dashou took part in the seventh provincial examination in his life when Master Yao came to Beijing.

Finally won the exam, and moved his family to the capital that year.

It's a pity that the exam is still a little short, so I have to continue studying hard and wait for the next subject.

Having not seen his wife for more than half a year, Yao Dayu and his three sons almost didn't recognize Master Yao.

Yao Shi, who has become a wife or a director, is more than ten years younger?
The well-fitting uniform and the new look of her hair, she is no longer the lady who is the proprietress of the steamed stuffed bun shop with a sad face.

The family rejoiced in the capital and settled down.

The three sons were also recommended by the head of the mountain to study at Dongcheng Academy, which is the most difficult to get into in Beijing today.

Yao Dashou also went to Dongcheng Academy with his sons, but he applied to become the master of Dongcheng Academy.

While teaching and continuing the imperial examination, the monthly money the couple earned was enough for a family of five to live in the capital.

Even if Mrs. Yao is not at home tonight, the four of them don't care about preparing the New Year's Eve dinner for the masters.

Write couplets, paste windows, arrange for the mother-in-law on the stove to cook big dishes, and wait for Yao's return at night to celebrate the New Year with excitement.

Uncle Zhongqin's mansion has never been quiet since he woke up in the morning.

After lunch, Lao Yuantou took his family's children and grandchildren to the ancestral hall in Dali Village as usual.

When kowtowing to the ancestors, he was especially devout, and he silently recited in his heart:

Ancestors of the Yuan family, you must bless my eldest son.

In this small life of yours, now that you are promising, you can go to sea on behalf of our great summer.

It is said that the sea is ruthless, you can help me to take care of it, and talk to the gods in the sky, bless my son to come back soon
Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu kowtowed very seriously, and they also kowtowed for their father and two elder brothers.

Their father said that if the ancestors knew that their children and grandchildren were filial, they would be very happy, and they would also bless their father and brothers to return home safely.

The four grandchildren, who are about to turn seven years old, finally have a big name (they follow the custom of their hometown, and children who are more than six years old are given official names only when they can stand up).

The name was chosen with the help of Mr. Mou. Mr. Mou came up with a dozen or so names with beautiful meanings, and let Lao Yuantou choose among them.

The implication of the word "Yun" is integrity and fairness, positive sunshine and bright future;
"Xu" has a beautiful meaning of vitality, elegant temperament, steady and soft;

The word "far" represents far-sightedness, far-sightedness, and profound knowledge;
The word "Tao" implies being able to speak well, active and lively, and full of talent.

He chose Yuan Wenyun for the third head, Yuan Wenxu for the fourth head, Yuan Wenyuan for the fifth junior, and Yuan Wentao for the sixth.

Uncle Yuan Datang invited Zhao Xiucai in the afternoon to write down the names of the children on the genealogy and inform the ancestors.

Qitou looked at Old Yuantou anxiously: "Grandpa, I don't have a name yet!"

The three-year-old and four-year-old child felt the ridicule from his brothers, so he didn't want to be the only one who didn't have a name.

"Father, why don't you just choose a name for Xiaoqi, so as not to bother the two masters, Mr. Mou chose ten names." Yuan Laosan fought for his youngest son, and acted like a baby to old Yuantou even though he was old.

Old Yuan didn't look at him, and pointed casually: "Then this is the name."

The word "Meng" represents bravery, robustness and courage.

"Son, thank you grandpa. You are famous earlier than your brothers. Grandpa hopes that you will grow into a mighty man in the future!"

"Thank you grandpa, Xiao Qi has a big name too!"

The brothers who have big names are laughing and laughing, and calling each other by names is very new.

After a while, I was suddenly called by someone's name, but I still couldn't react.

Yuan Wentao laughed and asked old Yuantou: "Grandpa, why don't my father and my second and third uncles have big names?"

Old Yuantou was very embarrassed: "When your father and the others were born, there was no one in our village who could read and write. They just yelled like that. If you don't believe me, ask your cousin, how many famous adults are there in the village?"

"My father and my second uncle and third uncle are miserable. If my father becomes a grandfather, he will still be called Hei Wa, hahahaha."

"Hahaha, my father is 70 years old and still called Yuan Er Er, hehehe"

Yuan Laoer. Yuan Laosan: Can we still get big names now?Can't be made fun of by bastards for a lifetime?When the eldest brother comes back, it's time to discuss it. They are fine, but the eldest brother is an uncle anyway, how can he not have a famous name? !

The five guys are so heartless that they almost regard the ancestral hall as a downtown.

The noise of laughter made Lao Yuantou feel relieved and sad at the same time.

Cuihua is not so melancholy, she communicates with her man every day.

Occasionally, I can still make an appointment to stay in the space for a squatting hut, knowing that they are close to home, there is only joy and no sorrow.

New Year's Eve, for people of this dynasty, is undoubtedly the most important gathering of the family.

Cuihua takes it seriously every year, and this year's New Year's Eve dinner is no exception.

"Grandpa, my younger brother and I brought daddy to toast grandpa, and wish grandpa: great blessings and boundless happiness!"

Yuan Wenyuan and Yuan Wentao sat at the main table this year, toasting the old Yuan Tou, chattering non-stop.

Their mother said, grandpa misses their father even more, they are going to make grandpa happy tonight, and mother will reward her dearly.

"Grandpa, I wish you again: happiness in my heart is sweeter than honey, happiness and longevity are envied by everyone!"

"Hahaha, okay, grandpa is done, you drink sweet water! My grandson's little mouth is really sweet, better than your father and uncles!"

"Grandpa, this is what my father said, one generation is better than the next!"
