Chapter 150 Cheeky

"I earned it myself."

Song Jingyun raised his chin triumphantly, "Today I went to the teahouse with Yuming alone, and met many scholars there to match each other, write poems and so on."

"Those people saw that the two of us were also scholars, so they invited us to participate. We felt disrespectful, so we participated together. In the end, I won the first place and got so much money."

"I counted it. This afternoon, I earned more than ten taels of silver. If I go to the teahouse every day, I can earn more than ten acres of land after staying here for so many days."

The more Song Jingyun said, the more excited he became, "The master used to say that there is a golden house in the book. I could understand the meaning before, but I didn't think it could be expressed. This time I finally felt it."

Jiang Mixia, "..."

The sound of the abacus could be heard by everyone in Jiangjia Village!

Jiang Mixia stroked his forehead helplessly, "If other people see that you have always won the first place, I'm afraid they won't compare with you in the future."

"That's true."

The pride and excitement on Song Jingyun's face was a little less, and after thinking about it for a while, "It's okay, I will let them in next time, if I win the first place this time, and lose next time, they will definitely be willing to fight again." I play together, then I can win again...

"If you go back and forth like this, you won't have to worry about not getting money."

Jiang Mixia, "..."

Business genius!

I have to say that there is nothing wrong with the idea of ​​the little son-in-law!
"My lady, it's getting late, shall we go out for dinner?"

You can come back early to rest after eating.

Rest with your wife in your arms.

"Let's go." Jiang Mixia tidied up her things a bit, and left the inn with Song Jingyun.

After staying in Fucheng for a few days, I have heard a lot about this place, especially the restaurants near the inn. Since the little son-in-law earned a lot of money today, Jiang Mixia was not polite, and only found the best nearby Zuixianlou to eat .

The Immortal Chicken and Mutton Mixed Pot are all signature dishes here. Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun couldn’t eat too much, so they only ordered these two dishes, plus a portion of fried vegetables. .

The dishes can be said to taste good, the portion is sufficient, and two people can feast on it.

It was evening, when the lights were on, it was the time when restaurants and restaurants were booming, and the streets were full of rich food flavors.

Jiang Chunbao rubbed his stomach.

It's really hungry and a bit ruthless.

Four days ago, he set off from his home and headed for Fucheng.

For this government examination, the money given by the family is not much, planning to buy a new outfit after arriving in the city, and there will be a meeting between the scholars for a light meal, a cup of tea or something, Jiang Chunbao spends every day When it comes to a penny, it is almost always careful planning.

Taking a carriage from his home to Fucheng cost a lot of money. Even if he rented the carriage together with others, Jiang Chunbao felt distressed by Hua, so after thinking about it, he went to Fucheng on foot.

Tired of walking, I stopped some ox carts between the countryside and took a ride.

In the evening, I will find a nearby village to stay overnight.

And no matter whether it was by car or lodging, Jiang Chunbao would first declare his family background, saying that he was a scholar who was going to catch an exam, his family was poor, his parents ignored him, and his money was really tight...

Relying on this method, when Jiang Chunbao arrived in Fucheng from his home, he hardly spent a penny, and even got some dry food such as pancakes from the farmers.

Being a reader is really good.

Jiang Chunbao raised his chin, and found a place to comb his hair that was a little messy due to the rush, and was going to find a place to eat.

There are many small stalls on the street, plain noodles cost five yuan a bowl, and large bowls of wontons filled with meat stuffing cost ten yuan a bowl.

On the other hand, if you serve a bowl of plain noodles and a pancake with minced meat for two cents each, Jiang Chunbao will have a full belly for this dinner.

But this is Fucheng, there are imposing restaurants on both sides of the street, and the bursts of aroma from inside hooked Jiang Chunbao's gluttons.

After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Chunbao walked into Zuixianlou, the most elegant looking restaurant.

Now that you have come to Fucheng, you have to experience something that you can't experience in the town.

The shop waiter warmly entertained Jiang Chunbao, "What do you want, guest officer?"

"What are your signature dishes here?" Jiang Chunbao paused, then added, "How much does it cost?"

In Fucheng, there are many people coming and going from north to south, and there are all kinds of people. Recently, there are many scholars gathered. Most of the scholars are not considered rich.

The waiter in the shop also thought it was quite common, so he just smiled and said, "Shenxian chicken, a dish costs six renminbi, mutton assorted pot costs eight renminbi, and the wine in our shop is Fen wine, a pot of six renminbi, do you want it?" Have a pot?"

After a meal, it costs two taels of silver at every turn!

Jiang Chunbao's expression changed, and he subconsciously squeezed the purse in his arms.

When he came to Fucheng, he brought five liang of silver with him!

The waiter at the shop could see Jiang Chunbao's embarrassment, and continued, "If you want to eat something economical, you might as well try our small stir-fry here. There are even meat and vegetables. One dish only costs one penny, and a free rice."

"The spectator is like a scholar. We have rules in Zuixianlou, but any scholar who comes to the residence for an examination and eats in Zuixianlou will be given an extra plate of peanuts and a bowl of minced meat spinach tofu soup. If the soup is not enough , you can add more."

In other words, one penny is enough for him to eat.

But the wontons outside are only ten yuan a bowl, and eating at Zuixianlou is ten times as much.

But this peanut and minced meat spinach tofu soup is free...

Jiang Chunbao thought for a while, and said loudly, "Brother to tell you the truth, I am the scholar who came to the government for an exam. Since you have free peanuts and minced meat spinach tofu soup, then serve it."

"Okay." The shop waiter first agreed, and then asked, "What kind of food does the guest officer order?"

"Order?" Jiang Chunbao scratched his ears, "If you don't order, I can just eat minced meat, spinach and tofu soup. Isn't it free?"

"The minced meat, spinach and tofu soup is free, but you have to be a scholar who eats here. Although you are a scholar, guest officer, you didn't eat here..."

After the waiter in the shop couldn't finish explaining, Jiang Chunbao interrupted him, "If the minced meat, spinach and tofu soup is served, wouldn't I be eating here?"

The waiter, "..."

Where did this thick-skinned come from!

In the past, I have encountered poor scholars who wanted to eat but had no money, but at any rate they would spend five cents for a piece of rice. This kind of person wanted to eat and drink for nothing without spending a penny. This is the first time I have seen it!

Seeing that the waiter in the shop still didn't come to serve the food, Jiang Chunbao also frowned.

 It's the end of the month, so I have the cheek to ask for a monthly pass. . .
