Chapter 638 Imperial Examination Girls Are Not Cannon Fodder (16)

While Ning Xi was cooking in the kitchen, she suddenly heard a series of footsteps coming from the yard. She turned her head and saw several young masters following He Shiyan.

He Shiyan walked into the kitchen first, with an embarrassed expression on his face, he said, "I didn't have time to say hello to you in the future, so I took my classmate home, sorry."

Hearing this, Ning Xi burst out laughing with a "puchi", "Well, it's not a big deal, if you invite someone to the door next time, let me know in advance, so that I can prepare to greet guests."

"You see, we just moved here yesterday, and the kitchen is quite empty. How about this, you go to the street to buy some ingredients and come back, otherwise there won't be enough food."

He Shiyan shook his head, "No need, they brought them all."

As he said that, he turned his head and made a gesture, and those people walked quickly towards the kitchen with their bags and bags.

"Miss Ning, I heard that you and Brother He have moved here, so I'll come here to celebrate your housewarming."

Ning Xi raised her eyebrows, and her eyes fell on the pile of ingredients they were carrying, are you sure they didn't come here to eat?
She nodded and smiled slightly, "Thank you all, just put the things here, Brother He, you can take them to the yard for a while."

He Shiyan took the man out, and Ning Xi looked at the men in the yard. It's not easy to get enough to eat, and they still have classes in the afternoon, so it's better to have a convenient way to eat.

It just so happened that last time I asked blacksmith Xu to bring over the mandarin duck hot pot. They brought so many meat dishes so don't waste it. Let's eat hot pot today.

Ning Xi asked He Shiyan to place the fire boiler under the big tree in front of the yard, and put the blanched big bones in the pot to cook a rich bone broth.

A few of He Shiyan's classmates were quite generous, and all they brought over were good meat. She sliced ​​pork and mutton into thin slices.

Vegetarian dishes are even easier, as lotus root, bean sprouts, and tofu can be cut and served quickly.

Bai Zi asked them to look at the lettuce on the big table, and at the bubbling pot, "Miss Ning, are we eating the Boxia offering?"

"It doesn't look like it, why is there bone broth in this pot, and what is this shiny red pot?"

He Shiyan didn't know either, and looked at Ning Xi together.

Ning Xi blinked her eyes. The hot pot in this era is called Boxia Gong?
She put the prepared ingredients in front of everyone, and said: "This is called hot pot."

"When it's hot, it can be eaten with the sauce. Eat it quickly, you have to go back to the academy in a while."

Bai Ziyue picked up the chopsticks, tried the way she said to eat, and started to eat. In the past, the Boxia offerings he ate in restaurants were boiled in clear water, and the taste was so-so. Unbelievable, this hot pot tastes so good!
Everyone sat in a circle, and Ning Xi sat next to He Shiyan and started cooking hot pot and eating vegetables.

While eating, someone actually proposed to ask Ning Xi to open a restaurant specializing in hot pot.

Ning Xi laughed softly, "There are Paxia offerings in the city, how can I have customers in this restaurant."

"Miss Ning, your hot pot is much more delicious than Paxiagong. The strong taste of this bone broth has penetrated into the ingredients, but those restaurants don't have it."

"There is also this oily red spicy hot pot, which is spicy and fragrant, and it tastes very exciting. There is no way to eat it like this."

"Oh, hurry up, Brother He, pass me a glass of water."

Bai Ziyue was almost choked by the spicy smell rushing to his head, and he was waving at He Shiyan with red eyes.

Ning Xi patted He Shiyan's arm, "You sit while I go into the kitchen to get water."

After a while, she came out with a kettle and poured everyone a glass of water.

"Gudong Gudong", after drinking, everyone exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of water is this?"

"Icy, sweet and sour."

Ning Xi smiled and said, "It's just ordinary sour plum soup, it's just hung in the well and chilled."

"Even Miss Ning's sour plum soup is better than the ones sold outside. I think this hot pot restaurant can be opened."

He Shiyan's classmates tried their best to persuade them, "Nowadays, how can you eat the Paxia Gong in the restaurant so happily? You can't wait until the meat and vegetables are cooked, and the charcoal fire can't be prosperous, so the business of Paxia Gong is not very good. "

"Your stove is so coincidental that the meat and vegetables are cooked so quickly."

Ning Xi still shook her head, not to mention the lack of funds and the long investment time, how can it be so easy to start a catering business.

Once her hot pot is released, other restaurants must not imitate it.

What's more, the biggest disadvantage of the Paoxia offering lies in the stove, but it is not easy to build such a stove.

This stove was only made by Blacksmith Xu according to her idea, and it took a lot of energy.

It's not like perfume, it's her buff, and it's more effective with half the effort.

After eating, He Shiyan let them go first.

Ning Xi felt the smell of hot pot after eating, so she went to take a shower, and when she came out, she saw He Shiyan washing dishes by the well.

Looking at his side face, it's much better than at the beginning, not only his complexion.

The more I look at it, the more I feel handsome. He still has a bookish look, which adds a bit of charm
……

Time passed quickly, and the dark fragrance shop was successfully opened, and Ning Xi's reputation as a perfumer became famous in Yong'an City.

Every time a new fragrance comes out, those rich ladies and wives immediately come over to pick it out in person.

He Shiyan also graduated from Songshan Academy, and planned to go to the provincial capital to take the township exam in a few days.

This trip would take at least a month, and he was a little worried that Ning Xi was alone in Yong'an City, but it was not a problem to follow him through the mountains and rivers, and he suddenly became a little distressed.

When he came back from the academy, he received a letter from Wang Linzhang from the capital and asked him to pass it on to Ning Xi.

He handed over the letter, "A letter from Wang Linzhang."

"For me?" Ning Xi didn't know why.

He Shiyan was silent, "You can choose not to accept it."

Ning Xi took the letter, "Look at what he wrote."

The little white cat has been scratching her skirt, which shows that it really wants to watch this excitement.

"En." He Shiyan carried the book basket back to the room, and wanted to read for a while before the case, but found that he was not concentrating.

Ning Xi opened the letter and looked at it together with the little white cat on her lap.

He began to politely say that it's been a while since I saw her, and I don't know if she is doing well.

Later, it was mentioned that his father was the prime minister of the current dynasty, and his family was powerful and powerful. When she and He Shiyan arrived in the capital, they could go to him.

Ning Xi curled her lips, his father was rich and powerful but not his.

And, what to do with him?
From the tragic end of the original owner, it can be seen that Wang Linzhang is an ungrateful guy, and this kind of person is not worthy of close friendship at all.

"Huh? Why did Wang Linzhang mention He Shiyan between the lines?"

Ning Xi felt a little strange that Wang Linzhang now gave her the feeling that he wanted to win over He Shiyan through her.

But He Shiyan is now a poor scholar in Wang Linzhang's eyes, what is there worth his trouble to win over?
