I became famous for writing ridiculous stories in ancient times

Liao Xuelin knew Hu Buqi, or rather, he knew him unilaterally.

Because Liao Xuelin's father and Hu Buqi's father were both Jinshi of the same year, and they were the same age. Later, they both passed the imperial examination and entered the Hanlin Academy. After graduating from the Hanlin Academy, they both stayed in the capital. They even married wives from the same official family and had two sons.

For all the reasons above, the relationship between the two could not be said to be good. Under such circumstances, the two families were only superficial colleagues and had no close contacts.

And what was even more coincidental was that the two compared their ranks with the talent of their eldest sons in studying, and found that they were similar, and there was no clear winner.

So they secretly compared the eldest sons and then the younger sons.

Then Lord Liao lost miserably.

Because Liao Xuelin was not only several years younger than Hu Buqi, but he was also not very talented in studying. Hu Buqi had already passed the imperial examination at the age of seventeen, surpassing his elder brother. But Liao Xuelin is also seventeen this year. Not to mention passing the imperial examination, he didn't even pass the exam for a student, and it was clear that he would not pass.

So when Lord Liao saw this son this year, he urged him to study, hoping that his youngest son could "make up for his shortcomings with hard work" so that his old rival would not be too proud too early. This is also one of the reasons why Liao Xuelin "escaped" to Liuzhou.

Unexpectedly, Hu Buqi was actually the governor of Liuzhou!

Liao Xuelin cursed inwardly, "bad luck".

Although he had not met Hu Buqi a few times, it did not prevent him from hating this person very much.

The people who were traveling with him were all good friends and classmates of Liao Xuelin, and many of them were also "suffered by him". From childhood to adulthood, they were hit by the elders' words like "Lord Hu's second son Hu Buqi is only XX years old, but he can already write poems/read the Four Books and Five Classics/pass the examinations for scholars, juren, and jinshi/get promoted, why are you so disappointing!", and they immediately wanted to retreat.

"Xue Lin, how about we go back?"

Liao Xue Lin gritted his teeth, "Why go back? Can't we stay where Hu Buqi is?"

He subconsciously uttered a sentence he liked very much in the story book "Imperial Examination and Cultivation of Immortality", "I say you don't grow the enemy's ambition and destroy your own prestige!"

"We are going to the hot spring villa in Liuzhou, not the Liuzhou government office, where will we meet that annoying Hu Buqi? If we meet, it would be the best. We can find the censor to report him for dereliction of duty!"

Officials come out to play, which is dereliction of duty!

The eyes of the young men lit up, "Yes, yes, report him to the censor!"

So several people decided to continue the journey, but they all looked down on the slow and ugly ox carts, so they asked the servants to find two carriages. Fortunately, although there were many people going to the hot spring villa, the carriages were expensive, so not many people chose them, so it didn't take long for them to get on and set off for the hot spring villa.

In the carriage, several people discussed the news they had just heard.

A young man named Rong said, "I just heard someone say that this 'hot spring villa' has many fun things besides the hot springs we are familiar with."

"By the way, their food is also delicious."

"Among them, there is something called 'milk tea', which is even more praised. People who have drunk it say that the 'milk tea' is sweet, like honey, like milk, fragrant and smooth. And you can add pearls, nuts, taro paste, and red beans to it. If you don't like it, you can change the tea to fruit drink, which is also very delicious."

"I understand taro paste and red beans, but can pearls really be eaten?"

As a son of an official, he certainly knows what pearls are. He even has a headband and belt inlaid with pearls. Pearls are a common accessory on the women in his family.

Eating pearls is no different from eating stones, right?

"Rong Jie, you don't know this, right?"

An expert laughed and said, "Pearls can actually be eaten. I have seen people eat them. They grind the pearls into powder and then take a small pinch of the powder at a time, saying that they will become white after eating it."

Rong Jie was shocked, "There is such a thing, can it really be eaten?"

"Yes," the blue-shirted man who mentioned Hu Buqi before, Lan Yutian, the son of the Minister of Works, thought for a while and said, "Two years ago, my grandmother couldn't sleep at night. After asking the imperial physician to come to our house, he prescribed 'two taels of pearl powder' in the Taifang prescription, saying that the pearl powder can 'calm the mind, brighten the eyes and eliminate cataracts'. After my grandmother ate it, her illness was cured."

"There is such a thing, then we have to try it later."

"Let's try this 'pearl milk tea' too."

In a row of houses between the hot spring villa and the amusement park, a long line of people lined up.

They all came to buy milk tea.

How can there be no milk tea in the amusement park?

Especially for those who just came out of the haunted house, they really need milk tea, which is high in sugar and calories, to calm down. So after the hot spring villa got on track, Fu Wenyu opened a milk tea shop.

This milk tea shop is owned by him alone, and it is not a cooperation with Liu Changmiao like the semi-self-service restaurant next door.

Currently, there are three kinds of drinks in the store. One is the brewed milk tea, which can be added with pearls, taro paste, red beans, and crushed nuts. If you don’t like milk tea or think it’s too expensive, you can also replace it with soy milk. The other is fruit juice, which is made on order, pure and natural without additives.

Not surprisingly, milk tea has the best sales.

And everyone must order pearls.

"Milk tea with pearls, taro paste, red beans, and crushed nuts..."

From a farm servant who worked all day in Xiaozhuang and depended on the weather for a living, to a waiter at a milk tea shop who now earns a monthly salary, Li Wu has always cherished his job and was unwilling to make any mistakes. So after seeing such a list, and six in total, he hesitated and asked again.

"Sir, do you really want to add so much to your milk tea?"

"A pure milk tea costs two cents, and you can choose three toppings. If you add any additional ingredients, it costs one cent. One cup of pure milk tea costs six cents, and six cups equals thirty-six cents."

Six cents was enough to have a good meal at the restaurant next door. In the past few days, Li Wu only met a few people who would do this every day. It’s not that people in Liuzhou can’t afford milk tea that costs six cents, but after adding so many ingredients, there’s not much real milk tea left, so many people don’t order it that much.

The boy who came to line up for Liao Xuelin and others nodded affirmatively, "My young master and other young masters all want to have a taste. Just do it. In addition, the others will also make a cup each."

Li Wu knew that he had met a generous guest, so he stopped talking nonsense.

After he accepted the money, he took a palm-high bamboo tube from the table, and then took out bamboo sticks with circles, taro, or red beans from several bamboo tubes and threw them into the bamboo tube. .

This completes the order.

Another person will send these bamboo tubes inside. The person inside will fish out another bamboo tube from the boiling hot water, then add materials into it according to the bamboo sticks, and finally put in the hollow bamboo tubes and bamboo tubes that have been polished very roundly. Spoon and cover with bamboo lid.

The used bamboo tubes are recycled if they can be recycled, split and dried before being used as firewood. As for the guests who want to take them back for tea, there is no problem. Fu Wenyu ordered them from the villagers of Fujia Village at the price of five sets for one penny. Bamboo grows very quickly, and you can have as much as you want.

After a dozen cups of milk tea were finished, they were quickly served next door.

At this time, Liao Xuelin and others had already devoured their lunch, and then said while picking at the plates: "There is not even a decent restaurant here."

“This is the only restaurant that doesn’t have private rooms!”

"Although the food tastes good, it is a bit too simple."

Others also said: "After all, it is a rural place."

At this time, the milk tea was also brought over, and the waiter said skillfully: "Guests, your milk tea has arrived. The six cups with pearls, taro, red beans and fruit patterns printed on them are all added. The other six cups Then I added two kinds of each. If you like it, you are welcome to come back in the future.”

"Is this milk tea?"

A few people curiously took a glass each.

Then they took a deep breath with the bamboo tube that seemed strange to them. The next moment, a warm and fragrant liquid flowed into the mouth. Moreover, it is also mixed with soft and waxy taro paste, round and elastic balls, moderately soft and hard red beans, and crispy unknown fruit cores. The taste is harmonious and delicious.

“Is this what people in Liuzhou call milk tea?!”

"It's so delicious, I've never seen it in the capital."

The man who just said that Liuzhou was a "countryside place" saw that he drank slowly through the straw, so he simply opened the bamboo lid without any instructions, and then dug out the snacks inside with the attached bamboo spoon.

While eating, he said with emotion: "With milk tea like this, even if this hot spring resort is boring and has nothing interesting, I would still be willing to stay here for ten days and a half."

The others nodded silently, "Yes, absolutely."

Not far from the milk tea shop, Fu Wenyu and Liu Changmiao were strolling around with several shopkeepers.

These people are here to see the place.

When the hot spring resort and amusement park first opened, Fu Wenyu did not invite any restaurants, banks, or other shops to move in because he didn't know what the prospects would be. The only restaurant was opened by him and Liu Changmiao, with the purpose of providing the most basic food to all the staff and guests in the villa.

But now, half a month later, the popularity of Hot Spring Villa is beyond doubt.

From the number of more than 100 people per day when it first opened, to the number of more than 700 people today, it only took half a month. The Hot Spring Villa is full of budget and can receive 3,000 people every day.

Don’t think that the current number of more than 700 people is very small, and the number of 3,000 people is not that many, but whether it is more than 700 people now or 3,000 people in the future, they will change it every day.

Today, people who live in this house will come to the restaurant to eat and buy something for themselves. Tomorrow another person will move in, and he will come to the restaurant to eat and buy things for himself or his family.

Even the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...

So without waiting for Fu Wenyu's invitation, these smart shopkeepers or bosses all came to visit at the same time, with the purpose of renting the row of houses specially built by Fu Wenyu.

Or open a restaurant, or open a shop.

After all, those who have been in the business field all year round know very well that ordinary people rarely buy things, but if they go to other places, their hands will be much looser.

What's more, many of the people who come here are children from rich families.

Therefore, after some investigation and testing, the prices they quoted were higher than the last. In the end, Fu Wenyu and Liu Changmiao discussed it and chose the Fugui Restaurant, which they liked very much, the teahouse they often went to, and a bank that was very reputable in various places in this dynasty and also dealt in gold and silver jewelry.

So there are seven shops in the hot spring villa.

In addition to the above three, the remaining four are the restaurant jointly owned by Fu Wenyu and Liu Changmiao, the milk tea shop opened by Fu Wenyu himself, the silk and satin shop branch of the Fu family, and the branch of Kaiyuan Bookstore.

In addition to selling books, the branch of Kaiyuan Bookstore also sells peripherals of Fu Wenyu's various stories, as well as peripherals related to the hot spring villa and amusement park projects.

Many peripherals are the first to appear, belonging to the "amusement park special".

After sending off several shopkeepers and bosses, Fu Wenyu returned to his home. Then, after seeing the second half of "Dream of the Mountain Village Fox Fairy" on the table, he realized that he seemed to have forgotten something, and hurriedly called the servant Li Er over to ask him to take the manuscript to Zhang Er, the current shopkeeper of Kaiyuan Bookstore.

It is also time to warm up the role-playing game "Mountain Village Fox Fairy" that will be launched soon.

As long as you are willing to buy a ticket, everyone can be "Zhao Le".
