Set up a stall
Lu Rulan was worried, and followed Nan Qiqi into the kitchen, watching Nan Qiqi put a lot of noodles in the basin, her heart ached terribly.
Although they could eat rice and white noodles after arriving in the capital, Lu Rulan was used to the hard life, and when she was in the village, she ate pancakes with mixed noodles. Seeing that Nan Qiqi used so many noodles, she felt very distressed.
"There are so many, how much does it cost? I'm afraid no one will buy them if they are sold." Lu Rulan was worried beside her.
"These can be done a lot." Nan Qiqi never cooked after marrying into the Lu family, but he used to cook when he was at home, and when he went to Zhao Cheng's house in his previous life, he was the one who came here at first For cooking, he is very skilled in kneading dough.
Lu Rulan watched from the side, Xu Huilan and Lu Qing wanted to come in to help, but Lu Rulan didn't let anyone in.
If this Liangpi is really delicious, it is also a craft, how can it be seen by others casually.
Both Xu Huilan and Lu Qing are nice people, but they haven't been together for long, and it will be difficult if they have a disagreement.
Furthermore, Lu Rulan wasn't sure if Nan Qiqi could cook. After Nan Qiqi entered the house, Lu Rulan always felt that Nan Qiqi looked too thin, not like someone who could do a job, so she never let him into the kitchen.
Later, I went into the kitchen a few times to help with firewood or as a helper, but I didn't really cook a few times.
What if Nan Qiqi doesn't do well and is laughed at by those two people?
After all, she is her son's husband, so she can't let Nan Qiqi lose face in front of his servants.
She first saw Nan Qiqi knead the dough into a ball, this step is similar to the steps of making steamed buns or noodles, all kneading the dough.
Lu Rulan recalled the word Liangpi that Nan Qiqi said just now. Although Lu Rulan had never heard of Liangpi, she had made dried tofu skin before.
The cold skin should also be one by one, is it like rolling cakes?
Seeing that he had to wake up after making a piece of dough, Lu Rulan became more certain of her thoughts.
Who knew that after waking up the noodles, Nan Qiqi put the balls of noodles into the basin, kept adding water and kneading, the dough melted, and the water became as white as milk.
Nan Qiqi found another basin, poured the flour into it, poured clean water and continued to knead the dough, until she couldn't knead anything before stopping.
Lu Rulan asked in surprise, "I don't want any of this water, just the little ball in your hand? Or do I only want this water, and I don't want the ball of dough in your hand?"
"Of course I have to do both," Nan Qiqi had the same reaction when he saw my husband making it. He imitated his husband and explained to Lu Rulan patiently, "Both of these are used. This is called gluten. It can be cooked and put It’s eaten inside the cold noodle, and these noodles need to be steamed to eat.”
Nan Qiqi's family didn't have any special cooking utensils for steaming Liangpi, so they could only use plates as temporary substitutes. Nan Qiqi thought that if his mother-in-law thought it would work, he could use this to set up a stall, so he would go to a craftsman to make an ordinary kitchen utensil Make Liangpi use.
"Pour this batter into a plate, put the plate on top of the boiling water, put the lid on the pot and press it, my husband said to use a big fire." Nan Qiqi said and turned to burn firewood, when Lu Ziqian came back.
Lu Ziqian stretched half of his body and leaned into the kitchen to look. He wanted to see what delicious food these two people were cooking, but he found that the two people had panicked faces, as if they were hiding some secret.
Lu Ziqian saw the batter on the table again, "Are you going to make Liangpi? Oh, I see, do you want to surprise me?"
Lu Ziqian didn't believe that Lu Rulan and Nan Qiqi could have any secrets from him, at most they just wanted to surprise him.
"It's not my birthday today, and I don't have any special days recently. Do you want to celebrate my start of school?" Lu Ziqian came in with a smile and found that Nan Qiqi was about to burn firewood. He asked Nan Qiqi, "What are you doing?" Is the batter just washed out? Has it settled for a while?"
Nan Qiqi opened her mouth wide, as if she just remembered, "I forgot!"
Nan Qiqi remembered that the last time Xianggong made Liangpi for him, he washed his face the night before and let the batter stand overnight before starting to make it the next day.
"I'm so stupid, I can't even remember this." Nan Qiqi pouted and blamed herself.
Lu Ziqian pulled him out of the kitchen, hugged him and comforted him, "It's okay, it's the first time I do it, there will definitely be negligence."
Lu Ziqian learned how to make Liangpi from watching videos on the Internet before traveling, but he has a good memory.
That's why he can succeed at the first time. He saw that many people in the comment area failed five or six times. If this thing is simple, everyone can succeed at the first time, and those Liangpi shops outside can be closed.
"Let's let it sit for an afternoon and eat it at night. I brought you some food from a famous restaurant in the capital." Lu Ziqian led them out to sit in the dining hall, and took the food out of the food box.
There is no plastic bag packing box in this era, so it can only be put back in a food box like this, and it is very troublesome to return the food box and plates.
Seeing such a table of dishes, Lu Rulan thought it was not cheap, "You're spending money recklessly, and you thought you had something serious to do when you went out, so it turned out that you went out to eat."
"I ran into Eunuch Lin on the way, and he invited me to dinner." Lu Ziqian said truthfully.
Lu Ziqian told Lu Rulan that Lin Ziyi was also his mother's old friend back then. She was thinking, so many powerful people were her old friends, why did she die tragically in a remote mountain village back then?
Lu Ziqian was also thinking about it on the way back.
In fact, judging from his previous guess, that man has a more than half chance of being the emperor, but the emperor seems to be quite smart at the moment, and some of them do not conform to the personality set in his mother's notes.
Seeing Zhao Cheng calling the Prime Minister Father today, he was thinking that maybe this Prime Minister was the man in his mother's notes.
But if that person is the prime minister, is there really no way for others to rescue the mother?
As mentioned in the mother's notes, Mr. Qin took her to escape once, but was found by that man and arrested.
Mr. Qin is the emperor's teacher. No matter how high the prime minister's status is, he can't beat the emperor. Mr. Qin can ask the emperor for help.
Moreover, it was mentioned in the notes that my mother knew the emperor, and everyone who met her would fall in love with her deeply. How could the emperor be an exception?
No matter how you think about it, this ultimate goal points to the emperor, but Zhao Cheng calls the prime minister his father, and things become complicated.
Is that person whom even Mr. Qin fears really the prime minister?How much power does the prime minister have?Make everyone afraid to fight?
Lu Ziqian still couldn't figure it out, and the time given to him was too short to do any investigation.
However, both Mr. Qin and Lin Ziyi have told him that he will meet that person sooner or later. Before that, he only needs to improve himself and make himself strong enough.
Seeing that Lu Ziqian didn't eat, Nan Qiqi was still looking at somewhere in a daze with melancholy, thinking that he was bothered about the start of school, he shook Lu Ziqian's hand and said: "I heard that the students in the Imperial College are either relatives of the emperor or officials' children. Well, those people are superior, and they will definitely look down on people from our village.
But you don't have to worry, Mr. Qin is such an excellent student, others will not look down on you because of these two points, so don't worry too much. "
"Your husband-in-law and I are naturally the best. I'm not worried about this, I'm worried that I'll miss you during my absence." Lu Ziqian said affectionately while holding Nan Qiqi's hand.
Nan Qiqiyi thought about how he would only see his husband once every half a month in the future, how he would survive these days, he sighed, "I will miss you, too."
Lu Rulan, who watched them show their affection countless times every day: "I'm used to it."
In the evening, Lu Ziqian instructed Nan Qiqi to make Liangpi, and Lu Rulan lit the fire for them. Since they moved to the capital, they bought a house and a servant, and the family of three no longer had to do any housework. Today is a long-lost family of three Let's work together to make dinner.
From time to time, the family's laughter came from the kitchen, which made Xu Huilan who was standing outside very envious.
These days she was working at the Lu family, Lu Rulan never treated her as a servant, and always chatted with her.
During the process of chatting, Xu Huilan learned that Lu Rulan was also a widow. After her husband died, she raised the child alone in the village. Later, when the child was successful, she moved to the capital.
Xu Huilan always thought, she is also a widow, and both come from the village, but one can live in such a large courtyard and have servants to take care of her, but she is the servant who serves others.
She always cried in the dead of night, thinking of her dead husband and her dead child.
If the child hadn't died, had grown up and had a future, she could enjoy the blessings with her, and maybe the house would be full of children and grandchildren.
Xu Huilan really wanted to have a child of her own, but she knew that she would never have the chance in this life.
So when she saw Lu Qing and Lu Yang, she felt sorry for what happened to these two children, and treated them as if they were her own children.
Lu Ziqian said that it was going to be summer, and he wanted to make some clothes for them. Xu Huilan took over the job, saying that she was going to make the two children's clothes, and that Uncle Chen's clothes Lu Ziqian bought for him off-the-shelf.
……
The noodle paste that Nan Qiqi made before can make many cold skins.
Lu Ziqian nodded, saying that Nan Qiqi did a good job, "You can go out and set up a stall for business with your skills."
Nan Qiqi also asked Lu Ziqian curiously, "If it's a stall, how can I sell it?"
Lu Ziqian thought for a while: "This one can be cut into a bowl, the cost is not high, and these ingredients are also common things, and the cost of a bowl is about two or three renminbi.
However, the prices in the capital are relatively expensive, and there are also uncommon chili peppers in it. If Qian Yi sells it in a big restaurant, he can sell it for 100 taels a bowl, but if we set up a stall by ourselves, we will sell it for [-] Wen. One bowl will do. "
"Twenty Wen..." Nan Qiqi thought for a while, "People in the capital cost more than ten Wen for a steamed bun. Twenty Wen is nothing to them. Dozens of them can be sold, and if I sell hundreds of bowls of Liangpi every day, I can make a lot of money.”
Lu Rulan coughed twice at the side, reminding Nan Qiqi not to slip up, "What are you talking about setting up a stall, Qiqi came to the capital with you to enjoy the blessings, you are not even willing to do housework for him, and you even give him a I hired a maid, how come I came to set up a stall."
"If Qiqi wants to start a small business, of course I support it, but compared to a small stall, I think Qiqi should open a store, invite some people back, and he will be the shopkeeper, and he won't be tired." Lu Ziqian said.
Nan Qiqi waved her hand: "I don't have much experience, if you want to do business, it's better to sit up from the stall first, so that you can exercise yourself.
If I don't have the ability to do business, I will only lose a little money if I lose money. If I can make more money, it will not be too late to expand the business. "
"Setting up a small stall is too tiring, I don't agree." Lu Rulan tested Lu Ziqian's attitude, "I have to be taken care of at home, how can I go out and do such a tiring job."
Lu Ziqian was really fooled, "I think Qiqi can go out to exercise, he shouldn't be locked up in the house, eating and waiting to die every day, besides, I hired someone to come to the house as soon as I came to Beijing, because I was afraid that when I was not at home You will be in danger, there are more people in the family, and the nearby thieves dare not patronize our house."
Lu Rulan pretended to be thinking, "But it's so tiring, are you willing? I have to go with you, otherwise I won't agree."
Lu Ziqian nodded, "Mother can go with her if she wants to, but you two are too tired, so take Granny Lan and Lu Qing to help."
Lu Rulan nodded reluctantly, "Okay, let's try it, but I haven't tasted your cold noodle, let's talk about it."
Lu Ziqian promised: "It's absolutely delicious."
At this time Zhang Tiancai suddenly jumped in from the door and asked loudly, "What's delicious?"
He is still a child at heart, and he is lively in his work.
Lu Ziqian had explained to Old Chen before that Zhang Tiancai was his younger brother and also a family member. Zhang Tiancai didn't need to notify him when he came, just come in directly.
Zhang Tiancai was bored at home, so he ran over to look for Lu Ziqian, and happened to hear what they were talking about delicious in the kitchen, so he ran over curiously.
When she came over, she saw that Nan Qiqi had just made a piece of Liangpi. The Liangpi looked like white jade, and when she held it with her hands, the color of her fingers could still be seen.
And it's also very tenacious, and won't pull Duan easily, "Sister-in-law, what good thing is this?"
"The kitchen is so crowded, you go out first, and I will tell you something during dinner later." Lu Ziqian's kitchen seemed crowded due to the crowds, so Zhang Tiancai had to be let out first.
Zhang Tiancai stood at the door and looked inside, "Brother, what's the matter, tell me now, I can't help being impatient."
"I'm going to the Imperial College for class in a few days, you go with me." Lu Ziqian said.
"Really?!" Zhang Tiancai jumped up happily, "Didn't you say you wouldn't take me there before, you said you would take that Lu Yang."
Because of that incident, Zhang Tiancai was unhappy for several days. Before coming to the capital, his father told him to protect Lu Ziqian personally.
As a result, after entering the capital, Lu Ziqian said that the family was not big enough, so he was asked to go home. He was so boring at home that he was not as interesting as being in the barracks.
Although the conditions in the barracks are not as good as at home, he can find people to practice martial arts every day, and he can also run horses every day. He can run horses wherever he wants. Unlike the capital, he can't ride too fast, or he will bump into people.
The family is full of servants and maids who work, so there is no way to compete with him. The elder brother said he would not take him with him when he entered school. He felt that he came back for nothing this time.
This time Lu Ziqian said that he would take him to the Guozijian. Although he had never been to the Guozijian, it was because he hadn't been there that he found it fresh, and it was interesting to be able to go with his elder brother.
Seeing how happy he was, Lu Ziqian couldn't help pouring dirty water on him, "It's boring over there, everyone is studying and no one plays with you. Maybe you went to the Imperial College, you might as well be at home."
"It doesn't matter," Zhang Tiancai said indifferently, "I always heard my father tell me about the past. He said that when he was fighting in the past, he was trapped in an extremely cold place, and there was not enough food and grass. He couldn't eat enough every day. , afraid of being discovered by the enemy, I couldn’t move around at will, so I was so sleepy for three months before I came back after winning a battle. My goal is to become a person like my father, and protecting you is my task, so no matter how hard it is, I will Not afraid."
"Okay, you can try it for half a month with me. If you find it boring, you can choose not to accompany me next time." Lu Ziqian looked at the lively and active child, and felt that he might not be able to persist, but he was not sure.
Maybe this kid is usually joking and joking, and he is serious when he does things.
In the evening, Zhang Tiancai ate Liangpi with them.
Nan Qiqi cut all the cold skins into strips, put them in a big basin, and mixed it to the full.
There are cucumbers, onions, sesame paste and other seasonings in this cold skin. Nan Qiqi loves chili, so he put a lot of chili oil in his bowl.
Nan Qiqi liked to eat, and he even ate two big bowls if he had a small appetite. Lu Rulan, who usually doesn't like to say compliments very much, praised her without hesitation.
Zhang Tiancai couldn't stop eating, "It's delicious. I've never eaten it before. I really want to eat it every day."
"Otherwise, you won't go to the Imperial College with me, and follow your sister-in-law to set up a stall. Your sister-in-law is going to set up a stall to sell Liangpi." At noon, Lu Ziqian heard Lin Ziyi tell Zhang Tiancai to accompany him into the Imperial College to protect him. He was quite confident, even without Zhang Tiancai, he would not be afraid.
Instead, he was worried about Nan Qiqi and Lu Rulan, wondering if Lin Ziyi said he would protect them secretly, if he could protect them well.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to set up a stall? I..." Zhang Tiancai struggled, "No, no, I came back with a mission. The mission my father gave me was to protect my elder brother. If I went to do other things, then this mission would not be enough. Did it fail?"
Zhang Tiancai took another big mouthful of Liangpi while talking, "It's still a few days before my eldest brother starts school, can I come to eat Liangpi every day these days? Sister-in-law?"
"It's a good idea, you're going to exhaust your sister-in-law to death?" Lu Ziqian looked at Zhang Tiancai's appetite, he was a tall boy with a large appetite, and he was worried that his family would be exhausted.
"Aren't I here to be a test product? My sister-in-law will set up a stall in the future. How can I do it if I don't know how to do it?" Zhang Tiancai said with a smile: "This is called sacrificing my ego to achieve my sister-in-law's business. You don't need to thank me for it. This is what I should do."
"You can be so talkative." Lu Ziqian wanted to hit him on the head with chopsticks.
"Qiqi, are you tired? Or let Granny Lan do it for you?" Lu Ziqian asked.
"I'll do it when I come." Lu Rulan hasn't figured out Xu Huilan's temperament, how can she pass on these skills to others, but she didn't say clearly on the surface: "I don't do anything these days, so it's better to work in the countryside every day. Now, my body hurts here and there, I was born to work hard, and I feel uncomfortable if I don’t work.”
Lu Ziqian didn't think about that, he just felt that Lu Rulan couldn't be idle and didn't think about the secret recipe. He didn't invent this thing, so there's no reason for the family to have it exclusively.
The next day, Lu Ziqian spent a few days rushing out a comic about the story of Liangpi, helping his family to advertise.
The protagonist of the story is still his mother. Fairy Shangshi went down to earth and met a couple of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Fairy Shangshi got their help and gave them a secret recipe of Liangpi.
Of course, Lu Ziqian didn't draw the production process. The cooking process of potatoes before was drawn to promote the nationwide cultivation of potatoes. Now the Liangpi is for his own business, so naturally he can't expose it first.
After Lu Ziqian finished the painting, he gave it to Qian Yi and asked him to publish a book.He also told Qian Yi that this is a side story and has nothing to do with the main text.
Seeing that Lu Ziqian came over with the painting again, Qian Yi ran over to wash his hands first, and only dared to take the painting after repeatedly confirming that his hands were clean.
The story this time is a very clichéd story, which is different from the previous one.
But the picture is beautiful, especially the cold skin, although it is black and white without coloring, but it can be seen that it is crystal clear.
The manga has drawn the process of how to mix cold noodle and eat cold noodle, even Qian Yi, who has eaten delicacies from mountains and seas, can't help swallowing.
"Is there really such a thing in this world?" Qian Yi saw the address of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's stall written on the back, "It's written in such detail, it's in the capital? I'm going to eat."
As Qian Yi said, he looked at the painting carefully again, "Why is the person in this painting so similar to Qiqi, but the facial features are drawn more exaggerated, and the eyes are almost as big as half the face..."
Lu Ziqian: "There is a little bit of exaggeration. This is a cartoon, so it is naturally different from normal people."
Qian Yi nodded, "Although the eyes are exaggerated, they are still pretty. Why, your family Qiqi is going to open a shop?"
"Well, he wants to set up a small booth to help him promote it." Lu Ziqian told Qian Yi that this story should be treated as a side story, and it will not be connected with the plot of the previous story. It is best to print it as soon as possible, and their booth will open soon. up.
Moreover, this Liangpi is only eaten in summer. When it is cold, not many people are willing to eat Liangpi in the cold wind at the small stall.
"When the weather gets colder, I'm going to make Qiqi change to Malatang, and then I'll publish a series of extra comics. Plant the chili seeds I gave you before, and wait for the next normal plot to draw Malatang. Plot." Lu Ziqian had already thought about what to draw next.
Qian Yi's peppers should be about to bear seeds, and he planned to take the time to draw the plot of the spicy hot pot in the past half a month.
"Great." Qian Yi grinned from ear to ear. He loves to read the comics drawn by Lu Ziqian, "The comics are also selling very well. Many people buy five or ten copies and read them. Now go to others. If you are a guest at home, you will either send soap or send this comic. I have already made a lot of money. When I finish recording the account book, I will share the money with you next month. When you go back with the money, don’t let Qiqi open a food stall, Mr. Pan If the storefront is bigger, it won’t be tiring.”
"Qiqi said he wants to exercise, let him go, and wait until the winter is cold before renting a store." Lu Ziqian had also thought before that he would be in business and an official in the future, so he would naturally be too busy, so it's better to let Nan Qiqi Help learn to do business.
But Nan Qiqi learned poetry from Mr. Qin at that time, and he was afraid that these mundane things would affect Nan Qiqi's poetry. If Nan Qiqi wanted to have a sunny spring and white snow, he shouldn't be tarnished by the stink of money.
He also wanted to train someone to help him start his own business. Now that Nan Qiqi proposed to do it on his own initiative, let him try it. Maybe in the future, Qiqi in his family can also become a big boss in charge of his own business.
Soon it was the day of school, and the whole family went to see Lu Ziqian off.
This time he was going to live on campus, Lu Rulan and Nan Qiqi were afraid that he would not be able to eat well and live well, so they brought him a lot of things.
Lu Rulan hurriedly made a thick mattress to make him feel more comfortable lying on it.
Nan Qiqi packed more than a dozen pieces of clothes for him, enough for him to change one set a day.
There are also various snacks prepared for him to eat when he is hungry.
The family sent him to the door, and the family was not allowed inside, so they could only watch him at the door, and did not go back until they could no longer see him.
Zhang Tiancai and Lu Yang went in with Lu Ziqian to report. After the dormitory was divided, someone took Lu Ziqian to the dormitory.
I also saw a lot of students along the way. It may be a break time, and there are quite a few people outside.
When they arrived at the door of the dormitory, a group of people surrounded the door of the dormitory next door. The person in the middle was holding a book in his hand, which was the cartoon of Tudou that Lu Ziqian drew last time.
Lu Ziqian had seen that person before, he was the one who was jealous of Nan Qiqi and said a lot of nasty things at the gate of the city.
The man also recognized Lu Ziqian, and he immediately put the book away, "What are you looking at, country bumpkin, be careful to spoil my book."
The author says:
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Lu Rulan was worried, and followed Nan Qiqi into the kitchen, watching Nan Qiqi put a lot of noodles in the basin, her heart ached terribly.
Although they could eat rice and white noodles after arriving in the capital, Lu Rulan was used to the hard life, and when she was in the village, she ate pancakes with mixed noodles. Seeing that Nan Qiqi used so many noodles, she felt very distressed.
"There are so many, how much does it cost? I'm afraid no one will buy them if they are sold." Lu Rulan was worried beside her.
"These can be done a lot." Nan Qiqi never cooked after marrying into the Lu family, but he used to cook when he was at home, and when he went to Zhao Cheng's house in his previous life, he was the one who came here at first For cooking, he is very skilled in kneading dough.
Lu Rulan watched from the side, Xu Huilan and Lu Qing wanted to come in to help, but Lu Rulan didn't let anyone in.
If this Liangpi is really delicious, it is also a craft, how can it be seen by others casually.
Both Xu Huilan and Lu Qing are nice people, but they haven't been together for long, and it will be difficult if they have a disagreement.
Furthermore, Lu Rulan wasn't sure if Nan Qiqi could cook. After Nan Qiqi entered the house, Lu Rulan always felt that Nan Qiqi looked too thin, not like someone who could do a job, so she never let him into the kitchen.
Later, I went into the kitchen a few times to help with firewood or as a helper, but I didn't really cook a few times.
What if Nan Qiqi doesn't do well and is laughed at by those two people?
After all, she is her son's husband, so she can't let Nan Qiqi lose face in front of his servants.
She first saw Nan Qiqi knead the dough into a ball, this step is similar to the steps of making steamed buns or noodles, all kneading the dough.
Lu Rulan recalled the word Liangpi that Nan Qiqi said just now. Although Lu Rulan had never heard of Liangpi, she had made dried tofu skin before.

Lu Rulan asked in surprise, "I don't want any of this water, just the little ball in your hand? Or do I only want this water, and I don't want the ball of dough in your hand?"
"Of course I have to do both," Nan Qiqi had the same reaction when he saw my husband making it. He imitated his husband and explained to Lu Rulan patiently, "Both of these are used. This is called gluten. It can be cooked and put It’s eaten inside the cold noodle, and these noodles need to be steamed to eat.”
Nan Qiqi's family didn't have any special cooking utensils for steaming Liangpi, so they could only use plates as temporary substitutes. Nan Qiqi thought that if his mother-in-law thought it would work, he could use this to set up a stall, so he would go to a craftsman to make an ordinary kitchen utensil Make Liangpi use.
"Pour this batter into a plate, put the plate on top of the boiling water, put the lid on the pot and press it, my husband said to use a big fire." Nan Qiqi said and turned to burn firewood, when Lu Ziqian came back.
Lu Ziqian stretched half of his body and leaned into the kitchen to look. He wanted to see what delicious food these two people were cooking, but he found that the two people had panicked faces, as if they were hiding some secret.

Lu Ziqian pulled him out of the kitchen, hugged him and comforted him, "It's okay, it's the first time I do it, there will definitely be negligence."
Lu Ziqian learned how to make Liangpi from watching videos on the Internet before traveling, but he has a good memory.
That's why he can succeed at the first time. He saw that many people in the comment area failed five or six times. If this thing is simple, everyone can succeed at the first time, and those Liangpi shops outside can be closed.
"Let's let it sit for an afternoon and eat it at night. I brought you some food from a famous restaurant in the capital." Lu Ziqian led them out to sit in the dining hall, and took the food out of the food box.
There is no plastic bag packing box in this era, so it can only be put back in a food box like this, and it is very troublesome to return the food box and plates.
Seeing such a table of dishes, Lu Rulan thought it was not cheap, "You're spending money recklessly, and you thought you had something serious to do when you went out, so it turned out that you went out to eat."

However, both Mr. Qin and Lin Ziyi have told him that he will meet that person sooner or later. Before that, he only needs to improve himself and make himself strong enough.
Seeing that Lu Ziqian didn't eat, Nan Qiqi was still looking at somewhere in a daze with melancholy, thinking that he was bothered about the start of school, he shook Lu Ziqian's hand and said: "I heard that the students in the Imperial College are either relatives of the emperor or officials' children. Well, those people are superior, and they will definitely look down on people from our village.
But you don't have to worry, Mr. Qin is such an excellent student, others will not look down on you because of these two points, so don't worry too much. "
"Your husband-in-law and I are naturally the best. I'm not worried about this, I'm worried that I'll miss you during my absence." Lu Ziqian said affectionately while holding Nan Qiqi's hand.
Nan Qiqiyi thought about how he would only see his husband once every half a month in the future, how he would survive these days, he sighed, "I will miss you, too."
Lu Rulan, who watched them show their affection countless times every day: "I'm used to it."
In the evening, Lu Ziqian instructed Nan Qiqi to make Liangpi, and Lu Rulan lit the fire for them. Since they moved to the capital, they bought a house and a servant, and the family of three no longer had to do any housework. Today is a long-lost family of three Let's work together to make dinner.
From time to time, the family's laughter came from the kitchen, which made Xu Huilan who was standing outside very envious.
These days she was working at the Lu family, Lu Rulan never treated her as a servant, and always chatted with her.
During the process of chatting, Xu Huilan learned that Lu Rulan was also a widow. After her husband died, she raised the child alone in the village. Later, when the child was successful, she moved to the capital.
Xu Huilan always thought, she is also a widow, and both come from the village, but one can live in such a large courtyard and have servants to take care of her, but she is the servant who serves others.
She always cried in the dead of night, thinking of her dead husband and her dead child.
If the child hadn't died, had grown up and had a future, she could enjoy the blessings with her, and maybe the house would be full of children and grandchildren.
Xu Huilan really wanted to have a child of her own, but she knew that she would never have the chance in this life.
So when she saw Lu Qing and Lu Yang, she felt sorry for what happened to these two children, and treated them as if they were her own children.
Lu Ziqian said that it was going to be summer, and he wanted to make some clothes for them. Xu Huilan took over the job, saying that she was going to make the two children's clothes, and that Uncle Chen's clothes Lu Ziqian bought for him off-the-shelf.
……
The noodle paste that Nan Qiqi made before can make many cold skins.
Lu Ziqian nodded, saying that Nan Qiqi did a good job, "You can go out and set up a stall for business with your skills."
Nan Qiqi also asked Lu Ziqian curiously, "If it's a stall, how can I sell it?"
Lu Ziqian thought for a while: "This one can be cut into a bowl, the cost is not high, and these ingredients are also common things, and the cost of a bowl is about two or three renminbi.
However, the prices in the capital are relatively expensive, and there are also uncommon chili peppers in it. If Qian Yi sells it in a big restaurant, he can sell it for 100 taels a bowl, but if we set up a stall by ourselves, we will sell it for [-] Wen. One bowl will do. "
"Twenty Wen..." Nan Qiqi thought for a while, "People in the capital cost more than ten Wen for a steamed bun. Twenty Wen is nothing to them. Dozens of them can be sold, and if I sell hundreds of bowls of Liangpi every day, I can make a lot of money.”
Lu Rulan coughed twice at the side, reminding Nan Qiqi not to slip up, "What are you talking about setting up a stall, Qiqi came to the capital with you to enjoy the blessings, you are not even willing to do housework for him, and you even give him a I hired a maid, how come I came to set up a stall."
"If Qiqi wants to start a small business, of course I support it, but compared to a small stall, I think Qiqi should open a store, invite some people back, and he will be the shopkeeper, and he won't be tired." Lu Ziqian said.
Nan Qiqi waved her hand: "I don't have much experience, if you want to do business, it's better to sit up from the stall first, so that you can exercise yourself.
If I don't have the ability to do business, I will only lose a little money if I lose money. If I can make more money, it will not be too late to expand the business. "
"Setting up a small stall is too tiring, I don't agree." Lu Rulan tested Lu Ziqian's attitude, "I have to be taken care of at home, how can I go out and do such a tiring job."
Lu Ziqian was really fooled, "I think Qiqi can go out to exercise, he shouldn't be locked up in the house, eating and waiting to die every day, besides, I hired someone to come to the house as soon as I came to Beijing, because I was afraid that when I was not at home You will be in danger, there are more people in the family, and the nearby thieves dare not patronize our house."
Lu Rulan pretended to be thinking, "But it's so tiring, are you willing? I have to go with you, otherwise I won't agree."
Lu Ziqian nodded, "Mother can go with her if she wants to, but you two are too tired, so take Granny Lan and Lu Qing to help."
Lu Rulan nodded reluctantly, "Okay, let's try it, but I haven't tasted your cold noodle, let's talk about it."
Lu Ziqian promised: "It's absolutely delicious."
At this time Zhang Tiancai suddenly jumped in from the door and asked loudly, "What's delicious?"
He is still a child at heart, and he is lively in his work.
Lu Ziqian had explained to Old Chen before that Zhang Tiancai was his younger brother and also a family member. Zhang Tiancai didn't need to notify him when he came, just come in directly.
Zhang Tiancai was bored at home, so he ran over to look for Lu Ziqian, and happened to hear what they were talking about delicious in the kitchen, so he ran over curiously.
When she came over, she saw that Nan Qiqi had just made a piece of Liangpi. The Liangpi looked like white jade, and when she held it with her hands, the color of her fingers could still be seen.
And it's also very tenacious, and won't pull Duan easily, "Sister-in-law, what good thing is this?"
"The kitchen is so crowded, you go out first, and I will tell you something during dinner later." Lu Ziqian's kitchen seemed crowded due to the crowds, so Zhang Tiancai had to be let out first.
Zhang Tiancai stood at the door and looked inside, "Brother, what's the matter, tell me now, I can't help being impatient."
"I'm going to the Imperial College for class in a few days, you go with me." Lu Ziqian said.
"Really?!" Zhang Tiancai jumped up happily, "Didn't you say you wouldn't take me there before, you said you would take that Lu Yang."
Because of that incident, Zhang Tiancai was unhappy for several days. Before coming to the capital, his father told him to protect Lu Ziqian personally.
As a result, after entering the capital, Lu Ziqian said that the family was not big enough, so he was asked to go home. He was so boring at home that he was not as interesting as being in the barracks.
Although the conditions in the barracks are not as good as at home, he can find people to practice martial arts every day, and he can also run horses every day. He can run horses wherever he wants. Unlike the capital, he can't ride too fast, or he will bump into people.
The family is full of servants and maids who work, so there is no way to compete with him. The elder brother said he would not take him with him when he entered school. He felt that he came back for nothing this time.
This time Lu Ziqian said that he would take him to the Guozijian. Although he had never been to the Guozijian, it was because he hadn't been there that he found it fresh, and it was interesting to be able to go with his elder brother.
Seeing how happy he was, Lu Ziqian couldn't help pouring dirty water on him, "It's boring over there, everyone is studying and no one plays with you. Maybe you went to the Imperial College, you might as well be at home."
"It doesn't matter," Zhang Tiancai said indifferently, "I always heard my father tell me about the past. He said that when he was fighting in the past, he was trapped in an extremely cold place, and there was not enough food and grass. He couldn't eat enough every day. , afraid of being discovered by the enemy, I couldn’t move around at will, so I was so sleepy for three months before I came back after winning a battle. My goal is to become a person like my father, and protecting you is my task, so no matter how hard it is, I will Not afraid."
"Okay, you can try it for half a month with me. If you find it boring, you can choose not to accompany me next time." Lu Ziqian looked at the lively and active child, and felt that he might not be able to persist, but he was not sure.
Maybe this kid is usually joking and joking, and he is serious when he does things.
In the evening, Zhang Tiancai ate Liangpi with them.
Nan Qiqi cut all the cold skins into strips, put them in a big basin, and mixed it to the full.
There are cucumbers, onions, sesame paste and other seasonings in this cold skin. Nan Qiqi loves chili, so he put a lot of chili oil in his bowl.
Nan Qiqi liked to eat, and he even ate two big bowls if he had a small appetite. Lu Rulan, who usually doesn't like to say compliments very much, praised her without hesitation.
Zhang Tiancai couldn't stop eating, "It's delicious. I've never eaten it before. I really want to eat it every day."
"Otherwise, you won't go to the Imperial College with me, and follow your sister-in-law to set up a stall. Your sister-in-law is going to set up a stall to sell Liangpi." At noon, Lu Ziqian heard Lin Ziyi tell Zhang Tiancai to accompany him into the Imperial College to protect him. He was quite confident, even without Zhang Tiancai, he would not be afraid.
Instead, he was worried about Nan Qiqi and Lu Rulan, wondering if Lin Ziyi said he would protect them secretly, if he could protect them well.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to set up a stall? I..." Zhang Tiancai struggled, "No, no, I came back with a mission. The mission my father gave me was to protect my elder brother. If I went to do other things, then this mission would not be enough. Did it fail?"
Zhang Tiancai took another big mouthful of Liangpi while talking, "It's still a few days before my eldest brother starts school, can I come to eat Liangpi every day these days? Sister-in-law?"
"It's a good idea, you're going to exhaust your sister-in-law to death?" Lu Ziqian looked at Zhang Tiancai's appetite, he was a tall boy with a large appetite, and he was worried that his family would be exhausted.
"Aren't I here to be a test product? My sister-in-law will set up a stall in the future. How can I do it if I don't know how to do it?" Zhang Tiancai said with a smile: "This is called sacrificing my ego to achieve my sister-in-law's business. You don't need to thank me for it. This is what I should do."
"You can be so talkative." Lu Ziqian wanted to hit him on the head with chopsticks.
"Qiqi, are you tired? Or let Granny Lan do it for you?" Lu Ziqian asked.
"I'll do it when I come." Lu Rulan hasn't figured out Xu Huilan's temperament, how can she pass on these skills to others, but she didn't say clearly on the surface: "I don't do anything these days, so it's better to work in the countryside every day. Now, my body hurts here and there, I was born to work hard, and I feel uncomfortable if I don’t work.”
Lu Ziqian didn't think about that, he just felt that Lu Rulan couldn't be idle and didn't think about the secret recipe. He didn't invent this thing, so there's no reason for the family to have it exclusively.
The next day, Lu Ziqian spent a few days rushing out a comic about the story of Liangpi, helping his family to advertise.
The protagonist of the story is still his mother. Fairy Shangshi went down to earth and met a couple of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Fairy Shangshi got their help and gave them a secret recipe of Liangpi.
Of course, Lu Ziqian didn't draw the production process. The cooking process of potatoes before was drawn to promote the nationwide cultivation of potatoes. Now the Liangpi is for his own business, so naturally he can't expose it first.
After Lu Ziqian finished the painting, he gave it to Qian Yi and asked him to publish a book.He also told Qian Yi that this is a side story and has nothing to do with the main text.
Seeing that Lu Ziqian came over with the painting again, Qian Yi ran over to wash his hands first, and only dared to take the painting after repeatedly confirming that his hands were clean.
The story this time is a very clichéd story, which is different from the previous one.
But the picture is beautiful, especially the cold skin, although it is black and white without coloring, but it can be seen that it is crystal clear.
The manga has drawn the process of how to mix cold noodle and eat cold noodle, even Qian Yi, who has eaten delicacies from mountains and seas, can't help swallowing.
"Is there really such a thing in this world?" Qian Yi saw the address of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's stall written on the back, "It's written in such detail, it's in the capital? I'm going to eat."
As Qian Yi said, he looked at the painting carefully again, "Why is the person in this painting so similar to Qiqi, but the facial features are drawn more exaggerated, and the eyes are almost as big as half the face..."
Lu Ziqian: "There is a little bit of exaggeration. This is a cartoon, so it is naturally different from normal people."
Qian Yi nodded, "Although the eyes are exaggerated, they are still pretty. Why, your family Qiqi is going to open a shop?"
"Well, he wants to set up a small booth to help him promote it." Lu Ziqian told Qian Yi that this story should be treated as a side story, and it will not be connected with the plot of the previous story. It is best to print it as soon as possible, and their booth will open soon. up.
Moreover, this Liangpi is only eaten in summer. When it is cold, not many people are willing to eat Liangpi in the cold wind at the small stall.
"When the weather gets colder, I'm going to make Qiqi change to Malatang, and then I'll publish a series of extra comics. Plant the chili seeds I gave you before, and wait for the next normal plot to draw Malatang. Plot." Lu Ziqian had already thought about what to draw next.
Qian Yi's peppers should be about to bear seeds, and he planned to take the time to draw the plot of the spicy hot pot in the past half a month.
"Great." Qian Yi grinned from ear to ear. He loves to read the comics drawn by Lu Ziqian, "The comics are also selling very well. Many people buy five or ten copies and read them. Now go to others. If you are a guest at home, you will either send soap or send this comic. I have already made a lot of money. When I finish recording the account book, I will share the money with you next month. When you go back with the money, don’t let Qiqi open a food stall, Mr. Pan If the storefront is bigger, it won’t be tiring.”
"Qiqi said he wants to exercise, let him go, and wait until the winter is cold before renting a store." Lu Ziqian had also thought before that he would be in business and an official in the future, so he would naturally be too busy, so it's better to let Nan Qiqi Help learn to do business.
But Nan Qiqi learned poetry from Mr. Qin at that time, and he was afraid that these mundane things would affect Nan Qiqi's poetry. If Nan Qiqi wanted to have a sunny spring and white snow, he shouldn't be tarnished by the stink of money.
He also wanted to train someone to help him start his own business. Now that Nan Qiqi proposed to do it on his own initiative, let him try it. Maybe in the future, Qiqi in his family can also become a big boss in charge of his own business.
Soon it was the day of school, and the whole family went to see Lu Ziqian off.
This time he was going to live on campus, Lu Rulan and Nan Qiqi were afraid that he would not be able to eat well and live well, so they brought him a lot of things.
Lu Rulan hurriedly made a thick mattress to make him feel more comfortable lying on it.
Nan Qiqi packed more than a dozen pieces of clothes for him, enough for him to change one set a day.
There are also various snacks prepared for him to eat when he is hungry.
The family sent him to the door, and the family was not allowed inside, so they could only watch him at the door, and did not go back until they could no longer see him.
Zhang Tiancai and Lu Yang went in with Lu Ziqian to report. After the dormitory was divided, someone took Lu Ziqian to the dormitory.
I also saw a lot of students along the way. It may be a break time, and there are quite a few people outside.
When they arrived at the door of the dormitory, a group of people surrounded the door of the dormitory next door. The person in the middle was holding a book in his hand, which was the cartoon of Tudou that Lu Ziqian drew last time.
Lu Ziqian had seen that person before, he was the one who was jealous of Nan Qiqi and said a lot of nasty things at the gate of the city.
The man also recognized Lu Ziqian, and he immediately put the book away, "What are you looking at, country bumpkin, be careful to spoil my book."
