Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 422
Prince Yong laughed loudly when he heard this, and seemed to be in a good mood: "Okay, it's good that you don't ask for letters, but for reading. This king will keep his eyes open in the future, and take a good look at the performance of your Xue family. However, there is one thing that this king I have to admit that the Xue family has a smart person like you, and this king appreciates it very much. I am afraid that you will have a bright future in the future."

Xue Hong hurriedly fell to her knees when she heard the words: "Students dare not. It is my honor that the prince needs me, Xue Hong."

Prince Yong nodded, ordered him to get up, then stopped talking and just concentrated on eating the meat.

"Huh? What is this?"

Xue Hong looked at the table and said with a smile: "My lord, this is beef tendon and tendon. The tendon is chewy and the tendon is tough. Many people like to eat it. In addition, there are kidneys, intestines, etc. Knowing whether the prince is used to eating or not, there are some on this table, the prince can try it, it is very nourishing. There are also these vegetables and bean products, each of which has a different flavor."

"Oh? Ben, I remember you didn't have these when I came to eat last time."

"Actually, I don't know if the lord has heard of this saying—everything can be grilled. In addition to the ones you saw today, we also roast some edible insects and pig eyes in private. Eat it, it's crunchy and delicious, but I'm afraid people won't accept it, so it's not on the menu..."

"Uh... everything can be grilled?"

After hearing Xue Hong's words, Xu Zhen couldn't help thinking about it, but this thinking was really difficult to accept, and his appetite was not as good as before.

Seeing this, Xue Hong hurriedly said: "If the prince is not used to it, it's better to eat meat skewers and vegetable skewers, or what the prince likes, we will send someone to the prince to deliver to the mansion."

Prince Yong nodded: "That's all. You just send some roasted mutton to the palace every day. I have asked the imperial doctors who often go to the palace. Fujin and the others in the palace are women, and most of them are cold. It is right to eat mutton." It is good for your health. Also, send more of the beef tendon and tendon, the king likes it."

"Yes, the students have all written it down."

"By the way, the royal chefs in the palace are very good at their craftsmanship. You just need to give them the barbecue skills. You also need to study your weird menu with the royal chefs and select some from the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. There are also cooking techniques that are acceptable to the harem family members and handed over to the royal chef. The palace doesn’t need you to think about sending them every day.”

Xue Hong hurriedly said: "That's right, it's all our fault, and we forgot. In fact, the baking technique is not difficult to learn at all, the key is the seasoning. I will inform my brother and prepare a large amount of seasoning Send it to the palace, please rest assured, the prince."

After receiving the plaque written by the emperor himself from Xue's barbecue shop, the business is booming.

Gradually, a shop began to be unable to satisfy the appetites of diners, and the long queues lined up at the door every day also made the workers in the shop feel pressured.

Xue Hong decisively ordered another shop two streets away.Although this shop is also in the city, it is two streets away and has already left the most prosperous area, so the price is much cheaper, and the place is even bigger than before.

The opening of this branch has largely relieved the pressure of having only one store, but it is still full every day, and as many ingredients as prepared are consumed, it is full and popular.

And such a full business has directly led to a consequence, that is, there is not enough raw meat!
The daily consumption of livestock meat in each store has far exceeded Xue Hong's plan.This is not modern times. Animal husbandry is all mechanized operations. Even if Xue Hong had foreseen the shortage of food materials and contacted the farmers early to buy raw cattle, pigs, and sheep, but under the current situation, it is inevitable to buy them from other places at a high price. some.

As for those in the space... these things are living creatures, and it takes time to reproduce. Even if the space is full of spiritual energy and time flows quickly, it will take half a month to pull out one or two and slaughter them.Of course it is not enough to consume.

And when Xue Hong managed to handle the daily operation of the two barbecue shops, it was midsummer again.Because they have applied for Enke for several years, Xue Hong had to prepare for his imperial examination.

In fact, when it comes to preparation, there is nothing special. It is no different from the modern college entrance examination. It is just a question-sea strategy.

The examination of Juren, that is, the rural examination, is nothing more than the examination of the "Four Books", "Five Classics", policy questions, stereotyped essays, etc.If it is an ordinary exam, it is just studying hard at home, occasionally discussing with classmates, and evaluating each other.But Xue Hong and the others are different. With the advice of Li Zhixing, a young Jinshi, learning is already more effective than half the effort. Then I searched everywhere for analysis and analysis of the papers of the rural examinations in previous years, and Prince Yong revealed in advance what the examiners prefer. Such an answer is equivalent to saying that there are already many advantages.

A few of them are just making a fuss at Li Zhixing's place every day, betting on topics, and making strategies.I can't say how tense the atmosphere was, but the few of them who took the imperial examination all lived in Jia's mansion for a long time.

The military imperial examination seems to be more difficult than the civil imperial examination.

In the scorching summer, Feng Ziying, Liu Xianglian, and Li Shaoyou all practice bowing horses and lifting stone pedicles at General Shenwu's mansion, and they don't rest until the sun goes down every day.

Because in the martial arts test, the most important thing is to pay attention to the strength of the bow, horse, and strength. The level of martial arts and the use of military tactics are secondary, and they are all very simple things.For these three people, as long as the bow and horse are qualified, there will basically not be any big problems.It's just that being outdoors in the wind and sun every day is nothing compared to Xue Hong and the others composing indoors. There are ice cubes and wind wheels in the room, so they don't feel guilty at all when they sit quietly.

This continued for several months, and on the ninth day of August, those who took the civil examination entered the field first, and those who took the martial arts examination also began to be eliminated round after round according to the order of registration.

After Xue Hong and the others finished the civil examination, Liu Xianglian was the first to hear the good news.

This is the first time for Liu Xianglian to take the imperial examination. He went all the way from the Wu Tong Sheng Examination to the Wu Township Examination.And because Feng Ziying and Li Shaoyou already had the fame of martial arts examinations, they still have to continue the subsequent martial arts examinations. Probably the two of them should finally know their results. Before that, Xue Hong and their liberal arts examinations will be released. up.

For the Jia family, going to see the rankings is nothing new. After Jia Zhu failed twice, they kept a low profile every time they went to see the rankings. However, the Xue family went there beating gongs and drums, as if they didn’t need to read the rankings. He knew that Xue Hong would definitely be on the list. He had caught the attention of many people along the way, but did Xue Hong pass the exam?
