Lin Zhao didn't say anything else. He listened to Jiang Ziyan's poems on weekdays and felt that his aesthetics had improved a lot.

Because Bailu Academy is built on the mountain, you have to go down the mountain to buy the things you usually use, so the academy rests for one day every half a month and two days at the end of the month. Calculated as a three-day rest period for Moonlight.

On this day in the middle of the month, you can go down the mountain to buy daily necessities. In the two days at the end of the month, those who are close to home can go home for two days. However, most students rarely go home, even on holidays. Review your homework so that you can go to high school in one fell swoop next year.

During the month when Lin Zhao went to the academy to study, Jiang Ziyan's paper workshop was almost ready.

Everything that needs to be repaired in the house has been repaired, and the furniture that needs to be added has also been rebuilt.In addition to these, the newly built lime kiln in the yard has also been completed, and the work can start only after the hemp and bamboo materials purchased by Zhang Qiu contacted.

Coming out of the large courtyard of the paper mill in the west of the city, Jiang Ziyan said, "Brother Zhang, you have worked hard these days."

Zhang Qiu waved his hand, "What's the point of being polite to me, you just cook and treat me to a meal yourself, hehe." He just took a bite, the food made by others is not as delicious as Jiang Ziyan's.

Jiang Ziyan smiled and said: "No problem. By the way, Big Brother Zhang, now almost all the things that the paper mill needs are ready, and I have to trouble you to go back to Qingping Town to pick up the brothers, and Zhou Xing, remember to pick him up too." Come."

"Leave it on me!" Zhang Qiu excitedly agreed, they now have a firm foothold in Fucheng, and it's really a good idea to hang out with Yandi.

Thinking about the days we lived in the past, and thinking about the days when everyone is self-sufficient now, Zhang Qiu is full of energy.

It was almost noon when we came out of the paper mill.Jiang Ziyan came here with Zhang Qiu and Feng Ke today, and the alley was the main street, the three of them didn't go back, they ate directly in a wonton on the street.

The owner of this wonton shop happened to be Jiang Ziyan's current neighbor, Zhang's husband-in-law.However, the Zhangs went out early and returned home every day to sell wontons in the shop, and they rarely met Jiang Ziyan and the others.

Mrs. Zhang would come to the shop to help out when she was not at home looking after the children. Today, she happened to meet Jiang Ziyan and the others.

Zhang Xianggong said: "What do you guys want to eat? We have scallion pancakes, wontons, and small steamed buns here. The scallion pancakes are ten cents and three, meat wontons are ten cents a bowl, and vegetarian ones are eight cents. It’s meat, eight ten cents a basket.”

"Three steamed buns, three scallion pancakes, and three bowls of meat wontons."

Jiang Ziyan ordered a lot, and Zhang Qiu had a big appetite. He was afraid that he would not have enough food, so he said, "I'm treating guests, if you don't have enough food, order more."

Zhang Qiu nodded briskly, and Feng Ke also said hello.

"Okay! Then you sit down for a while, and the meal will be fine in a while."

The small buns and scallion pancakes were the first to be served. Mrs. Zhang was putting the wrapped wontons into the pot while Zhang Xianggong was cooking the wontons. She came over with the buns and scallion pancakes and said, "You are from Jiangzhai in Gourd Lane, right?" I'm your neighbor next door, my man's surname is Zhang, it's been more than half a month since you moved here, how is it? Are you still getting used to it?" Mrs. Zhang enthusiastically pulled home.

Feng Ke is not good at words, Zhang Qiu is a big bastard, only Jiang Ziyan accepted the words of the proprietress, he nodded and said: "Hello, Mrs. Zhang, my name is Jiang Ziyan, I moved to Calabash Lane for almost a month, and I feel pretty good."

"I heard that as soon as you moved to our Calabash Lane, a great scholar came out, and he belonged to your family. Our two families live close to each other, and it happened that our family's Tie Wa got a taste of your family's literati. The scholar is back."

With Mrs. Zhang's homely effort, the wontons are already out of the pan.

Put a few dried shrimps and small ingredients in the empty bowl in advance, take out the cooked wontons and put them in the bowl, present a large spoonful of soup, sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onions, put a spoonful, a bowl The wontons are ready.

Zhangjia Wonton Shop has been open for more than ten years, and it is an old craft of wrapping wontons.Wonton skin is thin, and you can see the crystal meat filling inside. The soup is boiled big bone soup, white and rich, with a few dried shrimps and green onions floating on it, and a layer of oily flowers floating on the soup surface, which smells extraordinarily fragrant.

"Beware it's hot, eat slowly." Mrs. Zhang reminded.

The weather outside was hot, and those who set up stalls outside the door built a shed on it. The shed was made of low-quality black cloth, which had good ventilation, and the black color absorbs heat, so the underside of the shed was particularly shady.

From time to time, there was a cool breeze blowing over, Jiang Ziyan and the others were still a bit cool sitting and eating here.The three of them started eating wontons with a bun in each hand, and everything on the table was quickly eaten up.

Both Jiang Ziyan and Feng Ke were very full, only Zhang Qiu felt that he was not full, so he ordered another bowl of wontons.

Even Jiang Ziyan had eaten wontons with a lot of seasoning in his previous life, so he had to admit that the Zhang family's wonton shop made delicious ones.After the meat is minced, not only ginger, but also crushed peanuts are added, which is a bit crunchy to chew, and ginger and green onions are added, which makes it not greasy at all.No wonder his business is doing well.

Although there are many people in the shop at this moment, most of the chaotic wontons have been filled, and Mrs. Zhang is also free.While wiping the table, she inquired carefully, "I heard that Mr. Lin, your family, has gone to study at Bailu Academy?"

Jiang Ziyan nodded, "Well, yes, our prefectural school in Linzhou is Bailu Academy, and we reported it not long after the exam."

Of course this Mrs. Zhang knows, she has stayed in this prefecture for many years, and she still knows the custom that if she is a scholar, she can go to Bailu Academy, but she is just looking for a topic.

"I see that Lin Langjun is not very old, how many times has he taken the exam?" She said again.

"Once. Maybe it's luck, and it's over once." Jiang Ziyan didn't tell her so much, he just said it was luck, with a humble face.

A whole group of people from Fucheng took the exam for scholar together, out of more than 1000 people, they got in the top [-]. The difficulty is self-evident. He won't talk so much to Mrs. Zhang. It's better to keep a low profile and have nothing to show off.

Mrs. Zhang smiled when she heard this, she didn't believe that everything was luck, but if someone in the family passed the examination as a scholar, who wouldn't be envious?Especially Zhang's natal nephew was also studying, so she wanted to find out more.

"My natal nephew is also studying. He is thirteen this year and is preparing for the county exam. His wife said he has a talent for reading, but he is still young anyway. Let him try first, and he might pass the exam."

Jiang Ziyan also said: "Since the master said it, he must be extremely talented, and the county test must be no problem."

Who doesn't like to listen to beautiful words, Mrs. Zhang was very happy when she heard him say that, "Then thank you for your auspicious words, Mr. Lang."

Originally, Mrs. Zhang wanted to inquire about the teacher who lived in Jiang's house. To be able to teach a scholar, the level must be very high.But she didn't expect to get off topic while chatting. When she realized that she wanted to ask a few more questions, Jiang Ziyan and the others had already paid and got up and left.

Missing the opportunity for a while, Mrs. Zhang thought about asking about it the next time she saw Mrs. Han. Their Tiewa was about to reach the age of enlightenment. Now that the family started a small business and saved some money, who wouldn't want to let the children in the family go Earn fame by reading.Wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort if Tie Wa could be made to worship the talented gentleman next door as his teacher.

The three servants that Jiang Ziyan invited did a good job in Jiang's house, at least they didn't make any mistakes, and the house was cleaned.

Mama Sun acted properly and acted frankly. Every time the kitchen needed to buy vegetables and meat, Jiang Ziyan would give her part of the money to buy them.Every time she buys something, she keeps a record of how much she spends. She is quite honest.

But Mama Liu was careful, and she sympathized with what happened to Han Yuxiu, so she did her best to take care of the child.

As for Wang Daqiao, he is a tall and naive guy, he has the highest silver price among the three, but he wears the most shabby clothes.

Jiang Ziyan remembered that when he first arrived, he was wearing a bunt with many patches.It's been a month, and he has sent monthly money to all three of them. This person is actually reluctant to buy a new piece of clothing, or the worn-out cloth.

But Jiang Ziyan didn't say anything, and he also understood that those who worked for others only wanted to save the monthly money, and they were reluctant to buy some other things, let alone new clothes.

Zhang Qiu returned to Qingping Town for three days this time, and on the fourth day, he took a group of brothers with good legs and feet and Zhou Xing to Fucheng.

Because there were so many people, renting a carriage was too expensive, so Zhang Qiu rented several mule carts.Some of them were rough-skinned and thick-skinned. Five or six of them were squeezed into a mule cart, and each of them wore a straw hat to shade them from the sun.

It’s just because there are so many people sitting on it, and there are two carts full of luggage and bedding, the mule cart has to rest for half a day, otherwise the mule will get tired after a day.

So they were delayed on the road for three days, and they arrived in Fucheng in the afternoon of the third day.Jiang Ziyan had explained to Zhang Qiu in advance that when they arrived, they would be settled in the wing room directly in the large courtyard of the paper mill in the west of the city.

Both the east and west wing rooms and the main room can be lived in. Inside are all newly made upper and lower wooden beds, which are much wider than Jiang Ziyan’s university dormitory beds in the previous life, and the four corners of the upper bunk are made with telescopic wooden sticks, which are convenient for tying a bed in summer. Mosquito net up.

Although the cloth for making mosquito nets has not yet been obtained, we can prepare them first. In case we find suitable cloth for making mosquito nets in the future, we can just put them on.

After entering the house, the veterans were very happy to see the new wooden bed. Although they thought the Datong shop was very good, they felt a little uncomfortable when some people slept dishonestly in summer. Tired after a day of work, I went straight to bed without taking a shower.

Now it has become a bunk bed. These are all new beds, and the upper bunk has a guardrail, which is equivalent to a separate bed for each person. They are even happier.

Zhou Xing had a separate room, which was specially arranged for him by Jiang Ziyan. A big shopkeeper under him could not share a room with others. In the future, he would continue to work on account books. The pens, inks, papers, inkstones, and books in the room were all there. Can't be less.
