Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 145
Thinking back to the time when Du Jinning could solve a difficult math problem in a single breath of effort, as simple as eating and drinking, Guan Jiaze really wanted to shed tears of bitterness.He is also a top student, right?Du Jinning compared him to a scumbag.

He looked at Du Jinning adoringly, and solemnly said again: "I'm sorry, what happened a few days ago was my fault, and I apologize to you." Just don't ignore him.

He glanced at Chen Jiaxing and Liu Ze, and was about to speak again, when Du Jinning interrupted him: "Okay, it's nothing. Let's go, let's go eat."

Chen Jiaxing had already packed the food and put it on the table.Time was tight, Guan Jiaze planned to watch while eating, but Lu Xiaobei and his jokes were really funny, they didn't have time to laugh, how could they have the energy to eat?The food was placed there and has not been eaten.

Chen Jiaxing wanted to curry favor with his master, and was worried that the vegetables would be cold when he came back in a carrying box in winter, so he specially asked the waiter from the restaurant to bring back a big pot.Seeing that Guan Jiaze didn't have time to eat just now, he poured all the vegetables into the pot, moved out the charcoal basin inside, put it on an iron tripod, and put the pot on the shelf. After a while, it cooled down. The dishes were steaming again.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Guan Jiaze didn't bother to say anything else, so he quickly sat down in front of the pot and prepared to eat.

Chen Jiaxing had already turned up the rice from the bottom of the lunch box, and made a bowl of steaming rice for Guan Jiaze.As for whether Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning ate the cold food, that was out of his consideration.

Liu Ze went through the incident just now, but he understood better than him, and he quickly ordered food for Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning, and asked with a smile on his face: "It's cold, and the food will be cold soon, how about the two of you?" Master make some hot soup?" He said with a spoon in his hand, as if to add soup to their rice bowls.

Qi Muyuan looked at Du Jinning, nodded and said, "All right."

Liu Ze made soup for two bowls of rice, and handed them over respectfully, before he said to Guan Jiaze, "Seventh Young Master, do you want some too?"

Chen Jiaxing was puzzled when he saw his behavior - even if he wanted to mess up, didn't he have to ask his own young master before serving others?Why is Liu Ze so confused, doing it the other way around? "

But he and Liu Ze are considered to be in a competitive relationship, and Liu Ze doesn't know how to do things. Doesn't it show his cleverness?So he was happy to watch Liu Ze hold back, without reminding him.

But what he didn't expect was that Liu Ze's actions really suited Guan Jiaze's wishes.He had always admired Du Jinning, but now that he saw Du Jinning's joke that Lu Xiaobei performed, he admired him even more.

A boy of thirteen or fourteen is exactly the age of chasing stars.There were no stars to chase after in ancient times, but this did not prevent Du Jinning from becoming the object of Guan Jiaze's worship.

He admired and respected Du Jinning from the bottom of his heart, so he was naturally happy that Liu Ze could put Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan ahead of him.

At this moment, when he saw Liu Ze, he became pleasing to the eye; but he felt more and more disgusted by Chen Jiaxing, who still didn't pay attention to Du Jinning and was wholeheartedly flattering him.

But time was tight, so he didn't say anything, and motioned to Liu Ze to make soup for him, and he finished his meal in two bites.

But Du Jinning took the time to ask Zhuang Yue: "What kind of tea does the teahouse prepare? What about snacks?"

Zhuang Yue is a smart person, he knows that Mrs. Guan made the promise to him, one is to let him look at Guan Jiaze and Du Jinning, and the other is because he is practical and capable.So even if you are worried that this teahouse will not be able to continue, you still do your best.

He reported the names of several teas, all of which Du Jinning had never heard of.

Seeing Du Jinning's bewildered face, thinking about the background of this young master, Zhuang Yue hurriedly explained: "I have visited other teahouses on purpose, and our tea is slightly better than theirs. After all, the money we charge More, it must make customers feel value for money.”

Du Jinning nodded: "Where are the snacks?"

"In addition to the original melon seeds and peanuts, the villain also asked Liu Ji to send a few snacks, including mung bean cakes, peanut crisps, sesame candies, peanut sesame pies, and sugar cakes."

"Why are they all sweet?" Qi Muyuan asked with a frown.

"The things in this dim sum shop are naturally sweet." Zhuang Yue said with a smile, "Those meat buns and the like are not put away, right? If they can't be sold, they won't be fresh the next day."

Qi Muyuan turned his head to look at Du Jinning: "I remember that your family makes a kind of dried tofu, which is salty and refreshing. It's very delicious, and it's kept well. It won't spoil for a few days in such a cold weather. Why don't you put it in the teahouse Sell? Anyway, you are going to sell it at the market."

Du Jinning was startled: "How do you know?"

Making bean curd is troublesome. The last time I moved house, I invited them to dinner. Due to the rush of time, Mrs. Chen did not make bean curd for entertaining guests. People like Qi Muyuan had never eaten it.

As for the matter of bringing it to the teahouse to sell, because of the unhappiness with Guan Jiaze these few days, Chen Jiaxing and Liu didn't take her seriously, so she simply didn't mention it.He didn't even think about getting the dried tofu to be sold in Zuixianlou.

Anyway, Mrs. Xie helped to sell the dried tofu that she made every day, so she didn't have to worry about selling it. There was no need for her to give Chen Jiaxing and others her dignity for the sake of making some money.

"Yuan An saw your sister selling this at the market, and bought some. My grandfather and I both love it. Mr. Yuan fell in love with it recently, and every day he asked his servants to buy two big dishes. "

Du Jinning suddenly realized.

The last time Qi Bokun and Qi Muyuan went to Du's house as guests, Yuan An went with them. He had seen Du Fangling and Du Fanghui before, and it was normal to meet them when he was shopping in the market.

"Our desserts are all sweet. Some customers don't like them, but prefer salty ones. Your dried tofu is just right and not expensive. Let's make some small dishes and sell them for three Wen a plate of dried tofu. Someone will definitely like it. "Qi Muyuan, who has always been able to keep silent without speaking, and even if he speaks, tries to be concise and concise, but now he is not stingy at all.

Guan Jiaze is simple and not stupid, Qi Muyuan tried so hard to persuade him, why didn't he understand what he meant?When they opened this teahouse, they also aimed to help Du Jinning, so that she could have a stable income, so that she wouldn't even have money to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

Thinking of this, he felt more and more that he had made a mistake.He knew Du Jinning was still in front of Qi Muyuan, but not only did his friend not help Du Jinning, but he also caused such a thing, which made everyone unhappy, which was really inappropriate.

Du Jinning never mentions his family's dried tofu, is it also because of his trouble a few days ago?

He glanced at Zhuang Yue, Chen Jiaxing, and Liu Ze, his eyes darkened, but he said in a joking tone: "No, Du Jinning, you still keep something so delicious and refuse to take it out? Hurry up." Yes, you can bring some tomorrow and ask Zhuang Yue to put it on. You have to try to sell it, don’t you?”

When it came to this point, Du Jinning nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask my sister to do more when I get home later."

After eating, the three of them discussed some details, and when they saw that it was almost time, they stood together and prepared to leave.

Before going out, Guan Jiaze asked Lu Xiaobei: "Did your two partners find something to do?"

Lu Xiaobei shook his head: "No, Master."

Guan Jiaze nodded, turned to Chen Jiaxing and Liu Ze and said, "You guys should go back home, I'll arrange other things for you. Let Wang Lusheng and Zhang Gou'er do the waiter in this teahouse."

As he spoke, he told Zhuang Yue: "It's too late to make clothes. You go back to the mansion tonight and bring out two servant clothes that they can wear, and put them on for Wang Lusheng and Zhang Gou'er first."

When Lu Xiaobei was about to take the stage, Du Jinning had ordered Zhuang Yue to buy him an outfit as early as two days ago.So what needs to be prepared now is only the clothes of Wang Lusheng and Zhang Gou'er.

Chen Jiaxing and Liu Ze were dumbfounded.The two looked at each other, and they didn't know why their young master suddenly changed his mind and replaced them when the teahouse was about to open.

Liu Ze felt a little uneasy, but Chen Jiaxing was quite happy.He felt that he was very clever in doing things these past few days, which made the young master very happy. The young master must think that he was underestimated here, and he should be placed in a more important position.

When Lu Xiaobei heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Guan Jiaze: "Thank you, Master."

Thinking about it wrong, he kowtowed to Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan respectively.

Du Jinning was not used to this kind of etiquette, so he avoided it awkwardly.

"Okay, you go home now and call them both, and let the shopkeeper Zhuang tell them the rules." Guan Jiaze said, then turned to tell Chen Jiaxing and Liu Ze, "You two go back first, and I will give orders when I return to the house at night. The butler arranges for you."

"Yes." Chen Jiaxing and Liu Ze bowed to each other thoughtfully.
