Yipin Tianxia

It didn't take long, and the happy news of the good news spread to every corner of Ouyang's house. Although they hadn't been ordered to put up lights and festoons, everyone's faces were full of joy, and their steps were much lighter.

"Master, do you think where we will set up a restaurant, how many people will we invite, and how do we draw up the list?"

Compared to Tan's beaming expression, Ouyang Jin felt much calmer, "What are you panicking about? We'll talk about it when the imperial list is officially released. But you can go to the restaurant to book a seat first, so as to save time from being taken up by others. Remember to go there later. Book a better theater troupe and better food, don't be stingy."

"Yes." Mrs. Tan has never agreed so happily, and the long ending was full of pride and joy, but she wiped away her tears in an instant, "It's also thanks to Zhuang'er all these years." It's really not easy to stay up from three to five."

However, Ouyang Jin gave her a slightly angry look, "A loving mother has many failures. If she doesn't endure hardships, how can she be a master? A little bit of hard work, what can I say?"

Mrs. Tan understood, and immediately apologized, "It's all because of Master Suxi's good teaching."

Hmm - Ouyang Jin just elongated his nasal voice, which made him feel much more comfortable.

But thinking about it carefully, it is really not easy for my son to be in the top three hundred out of thousands of people.I think that although he also studied in those days, to be honest, he really didn't work as hard as his son, and the official career was relatively smooth.Father Ouyang used to be an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he resigned from his post and recommended his children to join the job according to the usual practice, so it happened to be Ouyang Jin's turn.At that time, the family of the new wife, Cui Shi, was still quite powerful, so he came to the capital with a letter.I got hired very smoothly.

Then the government was in turmoil, the Cui family lost power, and they were anxious about having no one to rely on. It happened that his wife died, so they quickly married the Tan family.So he still relies on his wife, although Ouyang Jin is not a big official.But he has been safe and sound until the collapse of the previous dynasty, and then defected to the new dynasty.

When the new dynasty was just established, another unexpected joy came, the wife's natal family gave birth to a good sister, and she became famous all at once.Even with him, he has been promoted three ranks from a small official of the eighth rank to the current sixth rank.

but.Still too small.

At the very least, Ouyang Jin felt that he was much better than Lu Zhengming, who was full of fat and drunk. If he had the opportunity to climb to his position, he would run forward and get to Jiuqing.That is the core of power that truly entered the Liang Dynasty.

Thinking in my heart, my eyes unconsciously fell on the slightly narrow doors and windows.Then he quickly looked away in disgust, such a small crappy house is not even convenient to invite a guest to set up a drink, who would want to live in it in the future?

Now that the son is promising, but it can only add some light to the family, and will not bring any real benefits immediately, but it is just a good time to use this opportunity to hold a banquet and take the eldest son out.Believe in his help.The help you can get will be more.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Jin only felt that his illness was three points better.Feeling exhausted all over his body, he immediately called the housekeeper over, "Have you finished the clothes I asked you to make for the young master?"

The housekeeper said truthfully, "I have already sent it to be done, but the young master ordered to give it to Miss Mu first..."

"There's no need to say those words, just tell the tailor shop, hurry up and get the young master's clothes out first. I'm going to bring him to meet people in a few days, so I can't be careless!"

Mrs. Tan became displeased when she heard that, "Master, Zhuang'er passed the exam this time, did you give the wrong order?"

Women, just don't know it!Ouyang Jin didn't bother to tell her more, "Then add two sets for the second young master. By the way, the eldest young master also has to prepare a brand new set of accessories. Don't be careless!"

Seeing that his focus was still on Ouyang Kang, Tan's arrogance added another layer.However, the servants came to report, "Miss said that she would invite Eldest Young Master and Sister Mu out to dinner tonight, so as to welcome them, Second Young Master also invited them."

Damn girl!Tan felt that she was about to faint again.

"The best thing this Hongxing Restaurant does is fish, shrimp and crab. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's the best to come here to eat small steamed crabs and fresh crabs with sauce. It's too expensive, and there are too many people in line. But it's still early to eat crabs, so I'll treat you to his family's grilled prawns, which are also very famous. By the way, did you eat the crabs that my aunt brought back that day?"

Nianfu and Ouyang Kang looked at each other, and felt that Miss Ouyang was really a wonderful person.

It's not because of her looks. In fact, frankly speaking, her facial features are not ugly when they are taken apart, but they are all kinds of awkward when they are put together. It can't even be called beautiful, it can only be said that it is not unsightly.

However, this woman's personality is really wonderful, and I don't know how to develop such a familiar temperament. After chatting with Nianfu for an afternoon, she enthusiastically dragged them out for dinner under the banner of helping them clean up the dust. up.

Seeing her excited look, Ouyang Kang was deeply suspicious, this sister really didn't use them as a cover to find an excuse to go out for fun?

But even if Ouyang Mulan is going out for fun, Nianfu is willing to come out with her. God knows how much she wants to go out?Especially at night!And she had already agreed with this young lady when she was chatting with her. After dinner, she will continue to do things and take them to the night market.

Ho Ho, God-given Ms. Mulan, bless you on behalf of Vulcan!

In the time of a cup of tea, four exquisite white plates filled with red-roasted prawns were served.

There are only two of them on a plate, but each shrimp is about three inches long, and it is roasted to a bright red color with a strong aroma.

Ouyang Mulan demonstrated by washing his hands in the water with the chrysanthemums in it first, and then peeling them off, "Some people pay attention to peeling them off, and cut them into small pieces to eat. If you really want to eat them happily, you still have to eat them." It’s good to eat with your hands. You won’t dislike it, will you?”

how come?

Nianfu reached out and grabbed it.First, I habitually picked up one and studied it. It is said to be roasted, but it should be fried in oil and then cooked in sauce. It should be called braised prawns.

Try the sauce first, well, it's pretty good.

But why didn't this shrimp see the open side on the back?How do you get the shrimp glands?Nianfu was about to peel it off for a further in-depth understanding, when suddenly he heard Ouyang Kang take a sip, frowning and spit out a mouthful of shrimp meat.

"Oh, I forgot to mention." Ouyang Mulan looked at her beautiful elder brother with a little embarrassment, "This shrimp has a sandbag on its tail, so it's not edible."

Ouyang Kang looked at Nianfu suspiciously, "I remember you made shrimp before, why didn't you see any sand?"

Nian Fu gave him a white look, "I picked them out one by one, okay?" She carefully peeled off her shrimp meat, and tore off a long strip of meat from the back, revealing a black gut, " Look, this is the shrimp gland, which is what she called the gizzard."

"Let me take a look." Ouyang Mulan came over, and immediately showed a look of admiration, "Yes, why are you so good at eating? I have been eating for many years, and I haven't discovered your method. Is it like this? Do it, can you get the sandbag out? Oh, no, it's broken."

"Of course it will be broken, because raw intestines are easy to pick, not cooked." Nianfu summoned the man casually, and pointed to the exposed black shrimp intestines in his hand, "Why do you come back to this shop? What’s the matter? Who doesn’t pick sandbags when making shrimp? How can people eat this? Hurry up and get another plate!”

The guy was stunned for a moment, and then gave her a strange look, "Sister, I'm afraid you are joking? How can you pick sandbags to make shrimp? How many years have we been in Hongxinglou, but it's always like this!"

Seeing him looking like you don't want to find fault, Nianfu was also a little angry, "It's strange what you said, how can you make shrimp without picking shrimp glands, and you still say how many years you have been doing it, is this how you cheat customers? ?”

"Hey, what's your sister talking about? Are you here to find fault?"

"Did I say something wrong?" Nian Fu was really angry.

Still wanting to quarrel again, a figure stood in front of her, glared at her displeasedly, turned to the clerk and said, "You are just a clerk, I won't tell you, go, call your shopkeeper!"

Although young master Ouyang is handsome, he is quite powerful once he puts on a straight face, at least much more lethal than a little girl like Nianfu.

The guy was stunned by him, and left muttering. Only then did Ouyang Mulan come to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Brother, you may have really misunderstood. This is how shrimp is made here. Sister Mu never said that." What sandbags are you picking?"

Is this the custom of others?Nianfu took another look at the black shrimp intestines, feeling a little lack of confidence.However, Young Master Ouyang said, "Even if it was like this in the past, is that right? You also said that grilled prawns are a famous dish here. Since it is a famous dish, it must not be cheap, right? But I still eat such cheap things Come out of the sand, does it make sense?"

right!The confidence that fell instantly after Nianfu rose again, "The people in the past were still drinking blood, so that's right?"

Ouyang Mulan stared dumbfounded at the two singing together, and suddenly felt that it was better for her not to speak.Obviously, Ouyang Zhuang also meant the same.

After a while, the shopkeeper came and brought a few guys with him.He looked like a shrewd middle-aged man, and he cupped his fists and saluted as soon as he entered the door, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I've heard about it. Are you dissatisfied because the shrimp in the shop didn't pick sandbags? If so, That's embarrassing, because small shops have always done this. It's not just for your table of guests, if you don't believe me, please read."

He waved his hand back, and a fellow immediately peeled off a similarly cooked prawn, which indeed had prawn glands, and picked another one, and it was the same.If it was the third time, the shopkeeper said, "I think everyone has seen it? If you don't believe me, you can ask the old customers of our store to see if it is so. Of course, this is not our store. I am standing here today. Dare to say a word, I don’t know about the whole capital except the emperor’s dining room, but there are really no sandbags in these large and small restaurants. If there are, you can come to me.”

Although he spoke politely, there was an unconcealable arrogance in his demeanor, as if the rules here are like this, you don't care about it.

(It’s the new year, I almost forgot. This day is going well...orl I’m saving the codewords in the dark, and I’m ready to deal with the various situations of the new year. Will it be the first or second shift? Will everyone be too busy? No time to watch?) (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
