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

Originally, Yin Xuan wanted to teach one of the few girls to do this.

It's not difficult, it's famous, it's a piece of fat.

But he asked what it meant that the girls didn't want to do it. They all felt bored at the thought of spending decades, or even a lifetime, on one thing.

They are more willing to do more interesting things.

Yi Xin has been working in Tongfu Restaurant for a long time. He didn't get paid at the beginning, and now he has consistent copper money every month. His idea is similar to that of the cook in Mingyuelou, and he also wants to learn Yin Xuan's cooking skills.

After the iron pot came out, he saved up his money and took a bite out of it himself.

But after trying it, he realized that this is not just an iron pot, but the difference in skill is like a natural moat.Yi Xin has been practicing knife skills alone, but he is not as good as Yin Xuan, even compared with Gaotie.

However, compared with the cooks of Mingyuelou, he is much more honest. He puts his own attitude in doing things, but he never mentions that he wants to learn cooking skills.

Occasionally, there are some cooking problems, and it is also under Yin Xuan's acquiescence to ask the high-speed rail for advice.

On this day, Yin Xuan called Yi Xin over, but this man was very excited.

Could it be that I finally moved the store owner, and he wants to teach me how to cook?
Yi Xin came over, but he didn't say anything about his cooking skills. He just explained to Yin Xuan what he had done recently. The fields were plowed, and they would wait for the new year's crops to grow.

"The matter of farming is not in a hurry." Yin Xuan waved his hand, "Let me ask you, what are your plans for the future?"

future?

Yi Xin was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Of course I want to follow the county magistrate. Serving hard is a blessing. It would be even better if I could learn some cooking skills from the store owner."

Yin Xuan grinned.

This guy has become much smarter.

"Have you ever heard of the farming that I told my father-in-law before?" Yin Xuan nodded at the table.

Yi Xin hesitated for a moment: "Is it about the yield per mu?"

Yin Xuan nodded: "Yes, this is the matter, I plan to let you handle it, how about it?"

Yi Xin was taken aback and was startled: "This...I...how can I, the only thing I know about farming and mulberry is that of farmers, besides, I am also stupid and can't read a few words. How can I do well in big things."

Yin Xuan shook his head and said softly: "It's not difficult, all you need is patience."

"If you are willing to do it, I believe you can do it well."

"This is something that can only be done well by a bold and careful person."

Yi Xin gritted his teeth: "Thanks to the store's respect, I will have the courage to do it."

Yin Xuan took out the booklet he had prepared and handed it over: "It's written on the hybrid method, take it back and read it, if there are any words you don't understand, go ask those two people in the store for advice."

"Tomorrow, I will ask Jiu'er to send 20 people there, and let them obey your orders."

Yi Xin was taken aback.

20 people?
It takes 20 people to plant two acres of land...

Yin Xuan waved his hand, and continued: "Excluding interbreeding, this is a long-term matter, and there is a more critical matter right now."

"You go to inquire and see where there are wastelands or barren mountains, and then come back and tell me. I will either go to the farmers or the court to get those lands."

"I collected a batch of rubber grass from Tubo years ago. Although it is a weed, it is extremely important. It needs a piece of land, a large piece of land to plant those things."

"The matter of hybridization can be done slowly, but the matter of rubber grass must be done urgently."

Yi Xin complied.

Yin Xuan laughed, and said softly: "If there is not enough manpower, you can tell me again, and then let Jiu'er send someone to your place, or hire some farmers."

Saying that, he paused.

"When you're busy and free, you will come to the restaurant to help me once in a while. The kitchen only has the high-speed rail to start, and it's still not enough."

It sounded like Yin Xuan wanted Yi Xin to come over to work as a freelancer.

Yin Xuan himself absolutely did not mean this!

In fact, it was a hint that Yi Xin could be taught some cooking skills.

Knife skills and cooking methods are of course important, but they can be figured out slowly and cannot form a monopoly, and if you want to practice well, you need to accumulate time and time.

To reach Yin Xuan's current level...it is not a matter of one or two years.

Practicing in the dream, Yin Xuan's several skills have been honed to the advanced level, and I don't know if there is any chance to go further.

Yi Xin's eyes lit up, and he grinned, leaving behind the polite demeanor he had learned from scholars, and said in a naive voice: "I understand, don't worry, shopkeeper, the farming work will be done for you!"

Yin Xuan waved his hand.

Let people take rubber grass and go out of the city with Yi Xin. Taking advantage of the warmer weather, we can plant batch after batch. This weed has great vitality.

Once it gets down to the ground and takes root, it can survive with the weather.

However, in order to ensure production, those who should be served still have to be served.

After getting the promise he dreamed of, Yi Xin was so motivated that he wished he could sleep in the fields all night.

Just after spring...

Yi Xin was not the only one who got busy, Zhao Yue, Han Yuan, and the scholars in the restaurant got busy again, and Chun Wei was just around the corner.

After Ji Wen topped the high school rankings the year before last, this year's Chunwei has received more attention.

This is the first time that the imperial examination has vague names and stipulates the format of the answers.

They all want to know whether the children of the aristocratic family can still crush the children of the poor family as before.

In addition, they also wanted to see what kind of nouns Zhao Yue and Han Yuan could get, and also wanted to see how many people from the Tongfu Academy could pass the exam.

A total of 37 people from Tongfu Academy applied for the exam.

On the day of the imperial examination, there was a mighty long queue, and even the people from the aristocratic family who came to refer to it could not compare to their momentum.

I finished the exam in three days.

Zhao Yue and Han Yuan continued to help out in the restaurant, doing their best work as clerks in the last few days, no one would suspect that they would not be able to go to high school.

The only suspense is whether the two of them can win the top spot, or whether the two of them can win the talent category.

Wu Youdao, who hadn't seen him for a long time, reappeared in the restaurant with a bitter face. In the past two years, he really studied hard, but whether he can win or not, he is not very confident.

Everyone said that I was afraid that I would fail the exam again this time.

His classmate felt sympathetic, comforted him a lot, and treated him to a lot of meals and drinks, and even went to Pingkangfang once.

Hmm...just simply want to drink restaurant drinks somewhere else.

Until the day of the announcement.

In front of Suzaku's gate, the imperial list was posted high.

Relying on their large number of people, the people of Tongfu Academy occupied the best viewing position that only aristocratic families could occupy in previous years, and looked up at the densely packed names.
