I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Kong Yingda looked at Chu Liang with surprise in his eyes.

to be frank.
When he was young, he was still frivolous, and he did the thing of debating the classics with the world's great scholars, but as he got older, he felt that the "surname" on him was getting heavier and heavier.

The teacher of all ages, the most holy teacher.

These two titles recognized by all scholars were pinned on Confucius, which made them, the disciples and grandchildren of the sage family, a little breathless.

Ever since he understood the importance of this surname, Kong Yingda began to separate from his past, and his friends who used to drink wine with him gradually parted ways.

Only those friends with outstanding character, talents, and family background are left, just like Chu Liang.

"Why do you say that?" Kong Yingda was silent for a while, and then asked, he didn't understand the reason.

In terms of talent, learning and character, the store owner may be qualified.

But family background is a threshold that cannot be crossed.

Anyway, the store owner was born in poverty, and in his opinion, he "willed to degenerate" and became a cook. It's not appropriate for a good scholar, but he wants to be a cook?
This kind of person is not worth dealing with.

According to the clan's statement, that is to corrupt the family style.

Chu Liang is a good friend with him for many years. He was framed as an accomplice of Yang Xuangan back then, but he came forward to save him. He would not easily, at least not so stupidly, set him off.

"I heard that the store owner has a lot of theories." Chu Liang sat down opposite Kong Yingda, smiled, and said softly, "Now we have researched fireworks and how to make colored glaze at a low cost."

Kong Yingda was a little surprised.

Fireworks, Liuli, of course he knows.

He even thought about buying a few pieces of colored glaze as family heirlooms, but was stopped by Chu Liang, saying that colored glaze was worthless now, and Linlang Pavilion had found a way to make it cheaply.

Only now did he know that this method was actually proposed by the store owner.

He actually has such means?

But it was only a momentary surprise: "It's just the trivial skills of some craftsmen, some are outstanding, but that's all."

Chu Liang shook his head: "But... I heard that although the store owner didn't say it clearly, he also revealed his theory, which can also change the meaning of the community."

Can change the country?

Kong Yingda stood up abruptly, widened her eyes, and looked at Chu Liang with a ferocious expression.

A new theory?

"Is he a capable person, or is he just a little clever and has researched some ways for businessmen to make money?"

"Brother Chongyuan, why don't you meet him once?"

Chu Liang was not frightened by Kong Yingda's ferocious expression, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, smiling slightly.

"If it is a new theory"

Chu Liang didn't say anything later, but just patted Kong Yingda's shoulder again, this time with a little more force.

Kong Yingda pondered and pursed her lips.

The birth of a theory, no matter whether it is good or bad, useful or useless, will indeed bring a new vitality to this ancient society at the moment it is born.

Maybe it will also bring some new vitality to their ancient family.

But the risk is that no one knows what this theory will swallow up.

Kong Yingda struggled for several days.

I locked myself in the study room by myself, and I was bored for several days. When someone came to visit Kong Yingda, all of them were turned away without exception.

Others didn't know the entanglement in his heart. They only knew that the pair was sent to the Kong family, and then Kong Yingda closed the door and stopped receiving customers. The impression given was that this gentleman of the Kong family was stumped by the pair. That's why I no longer see people.

Absolutely.

But this undoubtedly adds some fantasy to this pair.

Even the disciples of the Confucius family were stumped!

People who had no interest in this pair were gradually attracted to them. They were not interested in how the pair was. What they were interested in was whether they could use this opportunity to make a name for themselves by stepping on the Kong family.

This is no longer just a matter of a pair.

Recently, there have been more unfamiliar faces in Tongfu Restaurant, and they rarely come to eat, and all the faces are full of young people who are full of ambition.

After coming over, he yelled that he was right, and when he said it, Yin Xuan thought it was very good and neat.

but.
The scholars in the restaurant began to make troubles by yelling and drinking, and the words were not smooth, the rhymes were not good, and the fonts were not neat.
This made Yin Xuan very comfortable.

It would be great if there were such a group of people who could excuse me when others urged me to write poems.However, the reality is that I have to find a way like this to be able to decline them.

Of course, this is not the only thing that makes Yin Xuan most satisfied.

Those youngsters, lonely butts, were hit by the old fried dough sticks in the restaurant, pulled them to sit down, and were fooled into ordering a few more dishes.

Then he fell into the food and drink of Tongfu Restaurant.

There are many more customers in the restaurant.

The line at noon grew a bit longer, and the expansion of the second floor has become a very critical matter—but the construction period is still a bit slow, and the carpenters have only just erected a few pillars.

Kong Yingda struggled at home for several days.

After simmering until the complexion was a little paler, he came out of the house and walked to the Tongfu restaurant with a slightly heavy step in a deserted afternoon.

Just sent away the last group of guests at noon.

Seeing Kong Yingda approaching, Ji Wen hesitated, not sure what Kong Yingda was here for - the middle-aged man's footsteps were very clear, coming towards the restaurant.

He just felt that this person looked familiar, as if he had seen him before.

The memory has not had time to be fully retrieved.

Kong Yingda came over, put on airs, but did not look arrogant, just finished his courtesy, and asked Ji Wen, "Dare to ask this guy, where is the restaurant?"

"Are you the Kong family, a man from Kong County?" Ji Wen turned his mind when he heard his voice, and a figure popped out, which made him feel a little bit of a shock, and asked respectfully.

Kong Yingda smiled and nodded: "Exactly."

Ji Wen took a deep breath and pointed inside: "My shopkeeper is in the room, and the most beautiful one is."

The most beautiful?

Kong Yingda raised her eyebrows and walked in. This description is really surprising.

Ji Wen took another deep breath.

In the Tang Dynasty, although the status of Confucius was far from being as lofty as later generations, as a scholar, it is difficult not to have reverence for Confucius. emotion.

It's just that the Kong family has always cherished their feathers.

Why did you come to the shopkeeper's restaurant?
