Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 240 Wei Caizi is a Good Student
Of course Wei Caizi is not a stingy person, so he nodded quickly in response, "Please just distribute it, my little brother. It's a fluke for me to get such delicious food today. Why would you mind sharing it with everyone?"

Qingfeng nodded, turned around and waved at a young brother in Tsing Yi, begging him to fetch a dozen plates and all the spoons in the store.He took out the large bowl of white ice cream from the lower layer of the food box, carefully divided some into the plate, and then distributed it to each table by Xiao Er.

Everyone salivated for a long time, and handed over their hands to thank Wei Caizi and the others for their generosity. Then those who had a spoon used a spoon, and those who didn't have a spoon used chopsticks. Everyone took a big bite and ate it, and then began to praise it loudly.You have to know that most of the families are rich, so they dig an ice cellar to store ice extravagantly. In summer, they usually freeze some ice bowls with sweet syrup and mung bean paste.Ordinary small households can’t even see ice. It’s so hot that a bucket of cold well water is enough to fill it up.

How could I have eaten such a refreshing and sweet ice bowl today, delicate as jade, white and tender like snow, with the fragrance of milk but no fishy smell, sweet but not greasy.It is simply a perfect food to cool off the heat. I thought to myself, in such a hot summer, I can sit in a tea house or in my own small garden, enjoy flowers and read, and eat a small bowl slowly. What a pleasure.

Those scholars who have a favorite woman think more, no matter how much this ice bowl is delivered to any woman, it will definitely make a beautiful smile.

No matter what thoughts they had at the moment, many people gathered around Qingfeng, asking where to buy the ice bowl, and some of them were even thinking about how to buy the ice bowl.

Wei Caizi was worried that the colorful ice bowls on the table would be melted, so he greeted the fat scholar and the others, leaving them to continue eating the ice cream on the plate, picked up the lid of the food box by himself, and prepared to return to the academy to give the ice cream to his teacher relieve summer heat.

Qingfeng squeezed out the crowd with a wink, and helped him put the ice bowl in the food box. With the remaining ice cubes in it, it was enough to ensure that the ice bowl would not melt until the academy.

Wei Caizi said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, I will send the box back right away."

After speaking, he squeezed out the crowd and ran back to the academy.Honghu Academy was built by a wealthy businessman surnamed Zheng 100 years ago for his youngest son, who was eager to learn, but was unable to take the scientific examination because of a natural disability.Covering an area of ​​[-] acres, the gardens, flowing water, and houses in the courtyard all cost countless money. A master builder in the south was invited to design and preside over the construction. The carved beams and painted buildings are exquisite and elegant.In the beginning, only truly talented scholars were recruited here, and they accompanied their sons to study. Later, the wealthy businessman passed away. After his son inherited the college, after three generations of development, it gradually became what it is today.Because there have been several officials with high status in the court in the past century, their fame has gradually increased. In the past few years, they have paid a lot of money to hire several well-known academic masters to teach, and they have successfully entered the fourth academy of Baihua Kingdom. .

Mr. Wei Caizi's mentor, Mr. Han, is a senior gentleman who has taught in the college for more than 15 years. He likes to study stereotyped essays most in his life, and he does have some experience. Therefore, he is respected by all colleagues and students.

Today coincided with the college's holiday, the students ran out early because of the teahouse, and the courtyard became quiet for a while, Mr. Han was invited by several colleagues to sit in the pavilion in the garden to enjoy flowers and drink tea , By the way, make a few poems that fit the occasion.

When Wei Caizi trotted over in a hurry, several people were haggling over the words used in a poem. When the literati's stubborn temper came up, they all felt that they were justified.

Mr. Han saw his proud student coming with a food box in his hand from a distance, and quickly took the opportunity to persuade a few gentlemen to sit down, then smiled gently and asked, "Anzhi, where did you come from? Why are you still carrying the food box?" With a food box?"

Wei Caizi put down the food box, bowed respectfully and politely to say hello to his mentor and several gentlemen. The several gentlemen were a little embarrassed when they saw his quarrel, so they slightly raised their hands to avoid his salute.

Wei Caizi said, "Teacher, today the students are at the Xingqing Teahouse outside the courtyard. Because they guessed a difficult problem, they got a few bowls of delicious ice bowls. They dare not enjoy them alone. So, I specially sent them back to my teacher and gentlemen to explain. heat."

Before Mr. Han could speak, an old man with a long beard next to him opened his mouth first, and asked in surprise, "Oh? The problem that An Zhi talked about is the story of the little boy Yixiu?"

Talented Wei replied respectfully, "Mr. Feng, that's right."

A middle-aged man with a red face next to him answered, "Brother Feng also heard about it. Those naughty students I taught came to ask for advice yesterday. I am studying an ancient book. How can I have the time to deal with these things?" No matter, but listening to them, the story is very interesting. An Zhi can guess the answer, he is really smart, at least much better than my few students."

Talented Wei hurriedly replied modestly, "Mr. Yang praised it, and the students guessed it by luck, and Brother Wang and Brother Tang also contributed to this. Everyone entrusted me to send this ice bowl back, as a tribute to all gentlemen."

As soon as he said this, the red-faced Mr. Yang immediately beamed with joy. After all, there is no gentleman who doesn't like his own student's success, and it's still in front of these colleagues who were arguing fiercely with him just now.

Mr. Han laughed and said, "What are you waiting for, Anzhi, quickly take out the ice bowl and let the gentlemen have a taste."

Wei Caizi hurried forward, put the food box on the table, took out the five small bowls inside, and inserted silver spoons into them respectively. Coincidentally, each gentleman had one bowl. If there are more people and fewer bowls, it is not easy to distribute up.

Mr. Han looked at several bowls of food with bright eyes, and he was not polite. After all, the ice bowl was sent back by his students. He raised his hand and chose a green bowl, and then the other gentlemen also took a bowl. After eating the cool and delicious ice cream, they were full of praise, and then listened to Wei Caizi's story.These gentlemen, who were almost over [-] years old together, looked at each other and guessed Qingfeng's ultimate goal in their hearts.

I heard Wei Caizi still say from the side, "Unfortunately, this ice bowl is a prize for solving problems. If not, in the future, I will buy a bowl for my teacher every day and come back, and this summer will not be too difficult."

Half relieved and half funny, Mr. Han pushed the empty bowl in front of him to the table, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, someone will definitely sell this ice bowl." The other gentlemen also agreed with smiles.

Wei Caizi didn't know why the gentlemen were so determined, but he didn't dare to ask, he packed up the bowls and spoons, said goodbye to the gentlemen, and hurried back to the teahouse.

Qingfeng whetted everyone's appetites, and was running to Dayu and the old shopkeeper to ask for instructions, "Little master, you gentlemen love this ice bowl too much, and you are thinking about refreshing the young children and mother at home. Look... "

It was only then that the people next to him knew that the handsome half-grown boy sitting in the corner was the real master, so they also surrounded him, shouting at each other, trying to make friends.

Dayu stood up, bowed his hands to the crowd, then pondered for a moment as if he was slightly embarrassed, and then said, "This ice bowl was originally used by my mother as a prize to reward us brothers and sisters for solving problems. Our brothers and sisters were naughty for a while, and revealed the problem to the people in the house." People, this is what caused the excitement today. Since everyone loves it so much, I must tell my mother about opening a shop specializing in ice bowls. Of course, I can’t guarantee whether my mother will allow it.”

A thin and small man in the crowd hurried forward with his hands clasped, his eyes gleaming, and he asked with a smile, "I don't know the name of this young man, where does he live? It must be a family tradition to make such delicious ice bowls."

Dayu sneered in his heart, this guy coaxed him into being a child, why would he ask him where he came from, and it would be impossible to go to the door to buy prescriptions, but unfortunately he made the wrong idea, he is not easy to bully.He replied with a gentle smile, "Brother, it's absurd. I live in Muxian Mansion at the foot of Shenshan Mountain. It's a small household. There are only a few acres of land, and there are two shops in the city."

Wood Immortal Mansion?Everyone felt familiar after hearing the name, but suddenly couldn't remember it.But the old shopkeeper sitting next to Dayu was really surprised. The name of Muxian Mansion is no stranger to those who do business and open shops. Hearing Dayu's humble words behind him, the old man was almost happy. Small family?When did Anguo Hou Shizi's righteous sister, a guest of the governor's mansion, become a small family?The new vegetables grown in those several acres of fields are simply making a fortune for Xiankelou.There are two small shops, one sells precious snacks for a few taels of silver a catty, and the other is a medical clinic that basically does not charge money and sells medicinal materials, is it really a small shop?

He was slandering in his heart, and someone in the crowd finally remembered, and asked in surprise, "Music Immortal Mansion? Food is the sky!"

Dayu nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, Food for the Sky and the People's Medical Center outside the East City are all small shops of our family."

Everyone grinned in unison, is this still a small shop?After being surprised in his heart, he looked at Dayu again with some deep thought in his eyes, how dare he make some strong business ideas.

Knowing that the matter was successfully completed, Dayu bowed his hands to everyone in a good mood, "It's not early, everyone, please take your time, my brother is going to leave and go home. As for whether to open a shop to sell ice bowls in the future, I will definitely send someone to come when I have news." The teahouse informs everyone." After speaking, he turned to the old shopkeeper and thanked politely, "Thank you for the herbal tea, old shopkeeper, I will definitely come to bother you again someday."

The old shopkeeper laughed, and clasped his hands and replied, "Brother Ouyang, don't be polite. Whenever you come here thirsty, just come in. I still have some good tea here, old man. I haven't prepared it in a hurry today. I will invite you to taste it some other day." One or two."

Dayu quickly thanked him again, turned around and saw that Qingfeng had already picked up the food box and was talking with Wei Shusheng, so he waved his hand and took him to bid farewell to everyone and went out...
