Half a month has passed, at noon, the food restaurant on Beijing West Street was full of people, and the guys were so busy that they beat the back of their heads, and there were still people urging them. "Dude, why hasn't my braised fish come yet? I've been waiting for a long time."

"Guest officer, I'm sorry, you also saw that there are many people in front of you in line, we will serve the food as soon as possible."

Hearing what the waiter said, the man didn't want to rush anymore, after all, many people in front of him hadn't served their dishes yet.The Shiwei Building opened half a month ago, and the most famous dragon dance team in Beijing was invited. The firecrackers were crackling, and such a big battle naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Seeing that it was a newly opened restaurant, everyone didn't pay much attention to it. Although the people in the capital are rich and keen on food, they also have big mouths. It is not easy to open a restaurant in the capital.

Later, after hearing from the shopkeeper that all the food and drinks were half price on the first day of opening, everyone entered the restaurant with the mentality of giving it a try.

As soon as the opening day passed, Shiweilou spread in a very small area.Especially the so-called braised fish and sweet and sour pork ribs are so delicious that people can't wait to swallow their tongues.

Rao regarded himself as a well-informed Beijinger, and he had never heard of these two dishes, and he had never eaten such food that stimulated his taste buds.

In the first few days, there were still seats in the Shiwei Building, but now if you don’t make a reservation in advance, you won’t be able to sit at all.

Not to mention the booming sweet and sour pork ribs and braised fish.

The buddy ran to the back kitchen, and the five masters and their apprentices were cooking non-stop, "Masters, hurry up, there is a lot of trouble outside."

Master Qian wiped the sweat off his face, this dish was cooked like a war. "What can we do to urge us? Those people order so many servings at once, and they still have to pack them, and there are so many people. Even if we have three hands, we can't do it."

The guy had a bitter face, so he had to go to the front to appease the guests.

Cao Qing helped Liu Zhanxiu find the chef for the restaurant, and his skills are definitely passable.

These chefs were originally from some big restaurants. I heard that it was just a new restaurant that had just opened, so they didn't take it seriously, but when Yang Jin cooked a large table of dishes in front of them, after they tasted it, Everyone's eyes widened, crying and calling for apprenticeship.Naturally, Yang Jin would not accept apprentices, and only said that he would provide them with recipes.

Yang Jin first gave them a recipe for braised fish and a sweet and sour pork ribs. These cooks looked like they had acquired some treasures, and they studied them in the kitchen. As expected, these two dishes became the signature dishes of Shiweilou. In a short period of time, Shiweilou rose rapidly and gained a foothold among the many restaurants in the capital.

Yang Jin plans to launch a new dish every three months. Although he has never done business, he still understands the principle of hunger marketing.And these cooks have recipes hanging around, so they are not afraid that they will have different ideas.

The shop of the Zhang family on the opposite side originally saw that Liu Zhanxiu and the others bought shopkeeper Zhao's shop, and was going to call the shop, but later they found out that they were going to open a restaurant, so they gave up.

"Shopkeeper, the restaurant across the street is doing really well. Shall we tell the boss and come to the door..." The guy made a chopping motion.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he raised his hand and slapped him on the head, "Pig Brain, we don't want to be a restaurant, but if we open another clothing store, are we still competing with ourselves for business? Besides, you didn't see it because their business is good. Did it also drive us? The boss just told me that we should make less trouble, and when the time comes, we will really hit the iron plate, and you will bear it?"

The man patted his beaten head and went down resentfully.

Liu Zhanxiu and Yang Jin naturally didn't know what happened opposite them. Since the opening of the restaurant, Liu Zhanxiu and Tang Zishu were so busy that they kept their feet on the ground. Yang Jin looked distressed, so he tried his best to eat better.

Tang Zishu patted his stomach contentedly, "If the diners in the restaurant know that we still have these dishes, they might rush to grab them."

Yang Jin couldn't stop picking food for Liu Zhanxiu, "Eat more, I've been tired and thin recently."

Liu Zhanxiu ate all the dishes Yang Jin picked up: "It was the first month. Now that the restaurants are on the right track, naturally they won't be so busy anymore."

Yang Jin also knew this truth, nodded and stopped talking.

They were having a happy meal here, but they didn't know that the officials who graded the papers in the palace almost quarreled over Liu Zhanxiu's test papers.

"The writing style of this article is fluent, and there is substance in the words. It can be seen that the examinee has a well-thought-out plan between opening and closing. It is definitely a good work. I think it should be rated as a first-class one."

"This article does have content, but the literary talent is too simple. It has passed the first grade, and the second grade is almost the same." Hmph, you just like those gorgeous rhetoric that mean nothing! "

Others also expressed their opinions one after another, and finally after a fierce quarrel, it was finally decided to be the top two.

After the ranking was settled, the chief examiner presented the results to the emperor for review.

In the imperial study room, the young emperor sat in front of the dragon case and looked at the memorial with no expression.

The chief examiner held the candidate ranking list above his head, knelt in front of the desk, cold sweat began to break out on his face.

The new emperor's aura was too infiltrating, he didn't say anything, just sat on the dragon chair, and the officials below dared not show their aura.

The examiner was wondering if he had offended the emperor in some way recently, otherwise why did he let himself hang out for so long?

After thinking about it carefully, and confirming that I hadn't done anything out of the ordinary recently, I felt a little relieved.

"Let Aiqing be flat!"

Hearing this, the examiner said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" He handed the ranking list to the father-in-law next to the Emperor, and then stood up.

"This is the ranking of candidates this year?"

Qin Mingxun's voice was cold and hard, and the aura of thunder inadvertently burst out.

The chief examiner replied cautiously: "Yes, this is the ranking of Enke candidates this year."

"Submit the test paper."

The chief examiner hurriedly presented the examination paper in his arms, and secretly rejoiced for himself, fortunately, he brought the examination paper with him.

When Qin Mingxun was grading papers, the imperial study room was quiet, and the examiner’s nose began to sweat again. Because Enke, the new emperor, was enthroned in this scientific examination, no one dared to be careless, and there were not many shady scenes inside. , It's still fair, but I don't know what the emperor means by watching it for so long?

After a while: "No. [-] Scholar Yang Jihuai? He has a bit of real talent and learning, and the second place is not bad, eh? Liu Zhanxiu, I think his test paper has something to say, and it's rare to proceed from Dayu's reality. If it can be carried out, it can't be said. It can really solve the flood problem in the south, why is his ranking in the second best?"

Hearing the words, the chief examiner felt bitter. At that time, he also felt that the examinee had a deep gap in his chest and deserved the first grade. However, most of the people who graded the paper felt that the words in this exam paper were too ordinary and did not meet the grade of grade one. volume conventions.

The examiner bit the bullet and explained this reason, Qin Mingxun sneered, "It's because of people like you that you can only talk about it all day long but can't do practical things."

With a swipe of the pen, Liu Zhanxiu was promoted to the first rank.

"Click this to make a list"

The chief examiner came out of the imperial study room, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, glanced at the revised ranking, and blamed the group of stuffed people for being troublesome.

When it came to the day when the list was made, there were so many people in front of the list that it was impossible to get in.

Shuyan went to wait before dawn. When he was at home, his father sent him to school for several years.

It was almost noon, Shuyan came back in a mess with his hair loose.

Seeing him like this, Tang Zishu couldn't help asking curiously: "Xiao Shuyan, you are here to see the emperor's list, not to fight, how did you come back like this?"

Shuyan straightened his clothes, and Tang Zishu was used to laughing and laughing with him, and Shuyan also treated him casually: "Master Tang, do you know how many people went to see the list today? I will go there before dawn. I didn't expect that there would be so many people waiting there at that time, I managed to squeeze in, after looking at the list, it took a lot of effort to squeeze out."

"Then how did Zhanxiu do in the exam?"

Speaking of this, Shuyan slapped his head, "It's all your fault for interrupting!"

Fu ran happily into the house again, "Master, master, the master has won, and he is still a first-class one!"

Tang Zishu also heard it outside, and murmured to himself: "Zhanxiu won the first class, this is a good backer."

Entering the room, Tang Zishu found Yang Jin and Liu Zhanxiu drinking tea calmly. "Brother Jin, Zhanxiu, that's Yijia, your expression looks like you just dug a Chinese cabbage, it's too plain."

Liu Zhanxiu was noncommittal, "The final ranking depends on the imperial examination!"

Tang Zishu waved his hand, "What are you talking about, the rankings in the palace examination generally don't change much."

Cao Qing and Luo Yun also entered the door at this time: "Brother Liu, congratulations, you won the first grade. After the palace examination, you may be able to win the first prize."

Liu Zhanxiu smiled. When he was answering the question, he tried to bring his style of writing to the usual level. The literati in the Dayu Dynasty admired articles with colorful flowers and gorgeous rhetoric. With the current situation in the court, he didn't want to be too showy. He just wanted to do some practical things. Thinking of it, I was still ordered.

"The imperial examination is coming soon. The current emperor is thirsty for talents. Brother Liu, you should prepare well."

Liu Zhanxiu nodded, since he has been noticed, there is no need to hide his clumsiness anymore.

In the inn on the other side, two people overturned the table in the room at the same time.

Liu Zhancai stared at the book boy who reported the letter bitterly: "What are you talking about, how could I miss it? Are you mistaken?"

The book boy cried and said, "Master, I read the list three times back and forth, and there is indeed no... your name on it."

"Get out, useless thing."

The book boy hurriedly exited the room, and after closing the door, he took a look at the room bitterly. He took down someone to vent his anger because he couldn't pass the exam due to his incompetence.

Lu Yanjin heard that she had only won the last position in the top three, and after overturning the desk, she quickly calmed down. "Go down."

The book boy breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that the young master would anger him.

On the day of the palace examination, Yang Jin tidied up Liu Zhanxiu. He was dressed in a blue brocade suit, making Liu Zhanxiu look like a tree.

Liu Zhanxiu waved in front of Yang Jin's eyes, "Are you crazy about my husband?"

Yang Jin came back to his senses and replied, "My man is so handsome!"

Yang Jin didn't do much, until Liu Zhanxiu got a big blush, brother Jin is sometimes so straightforward that people can't stand it.

Yang Jin sent Liu Zhanxiu to the gate of the palace, and before he left, he adjusted Liu Zhanxiu's clothes; "Don't be pressured, we didn't come to be this official for fame and fortune, if the court is not worth your stay, we will go back to Liu Yue as usual Village, even relying on me to treat illnesses, I can support a family.”

Listening to Yang Jin's comfort, Liu Zhanxiu felt warm in his heart. Knowing that he was afraid of being disappointed with the court, Liu Zhanxiu replied softly: "My family is the most important."

Watching Liu Zhanxiu enter the palace gate, Yang Jincai and Cao Qing turned back.
