Guozijian little cook

The taste of this noodle restaurant cannot be said to be amazing, I can only say that it is okay.

I am the kind of person who can accept it, but won’t think about it even if I don’t eat it.

Zhao Lin didn't come over to accompany them to eat because he was too busy. Of course, it might also be because Yan Xingxuan was here, so he was too embarrassed to come over.

There were no outsiders, so Xiao Nianzhi and Yan Xingxuan didn't need to socialize, so they finished eating quickly.

On the way back, because the rain has stopped, the road is still a little wet, but if you walk carefully, you will not get wet.

Laishun has already inquired about the news. It is said that the owner of the small noodle shop is a distant relative of Chef Shui's family.

I had been trying for a long time to get into the Imperial College, but Chef Shui was able to get in because of relatives. If there were no vacancies in the Imperial College, it would be really difficult to get people in.

After all, it's a good job, so many people are watching.

People from big families look down upon them, but people from small families still keep a close eye on them.

For example, if Aunt Gu committed a crime, the final result of the trial has not yet come out, and the people who replaced her have already followed suit.

So, is there a place to arrange for people to come in?
That's not very convenient, and Chef Shui really doesn't have that much power.

However, he can teach the other party a little bit about his skills.

For example, there is a way to eat noodles that is not yet popular in Beijing.

Chef Shui is good at his craftsmanship, but his relative is not as good at his craftsmanship. He may not be that smart, and his flexibility is very poor.

However, because the products are of high quality and low price, the business is okay.

Moreover, without the connection of Chef Shui, the business of renting a shop here can be better, and it is the business of a powerful person, so the daily business will not be too bad.

Xiao Nianzhi nodded understandingly after hearing this, and she thought that the way to eat noodles in the capital was not that popular.

Now this was the first time she saw it. Although she was curious, she didn't ask any more questions.

But I couldn't stand it, Yan Xingxuan was also curious.

Therefore, with one look from him, Laishun understood.

In just one meal, I found out everything.

Now that Laishun hadn't eaten yet, Yan Xingxuan gave him an extra reward and a day off, so that he could find a place to make up for his meal.

After the two of them went back, they got acquainted with the subordinate departments of the Ministry of Industry in the afternoon.

Of course, during the process, it was inevitable to socialize with colleagues.

Some people had a flattering attitude towards Xiao Nianzhi, and some people had a similar rank to her, so their flattery was not too obvious.

Of course, they are not all trying to please her. Even with Yan Xingxuan here, some people actually can't stand a woman being an official. However, His Majesty arranged it, and now they can only bite the bullet and admit it, so their attitude is lukewarm.

Not rolling their eyes was their last sign of stubbornness.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and Xiao Nianzhi doesn't force anything.

Whatever their attitude was, Xiao Nianzhi would naturally respond with whatever attitude they had.

She's not a bitch, so why bother trying to please someone who doesn't like her?

The subsequent production of cement still requires Xiao Nianzhi's help, and various subsequent repairs, transformations, etc. also require various drawings and data, which are within the scope of Xiao Nianzhi's responsibilities.

Therefore, even though she does not need to go to the Ministry of Works office on a daily basis, she is still very busy.

Moreover, most of the time, not only do you need to go to the Yamen to work, but you also need to go to the field to see the situation and measure data.

Xiao Nianzhi was busy until May [-]th, and then he finished part of the work.

When the first batch of cement is produced, the palace will naturally be the first to be supplied.

Even a remote path in the palace is paved with blue bricks.

Compared with the road with compacted dirt, it is much cleaner even on rainy days.

But...

Compared with the cement road, it is still worse.

After all, the subsequent repairs of the blue bricks will cause a lot of troubles.Perhaps because of the current ratio of blue bricks, its load-bearing capacity is also worse.

Once there is something in the palace that requires heavy loads such as carriages and horses, the blue bricks will often be damaged.

But with cement, this kind of trouble, or trouble, will be much less.

However, His Majesty did not renovate everything as soon as he started. He started from some remote roads or various palaces in the cold palace.

Use these places as experimental bases to see the subsequent effects, and then study whether other places need to be modified.

On May [-]th, it was the recognition banquet prepared by the Feng family for Xiao Nianzhi.

There is no need to hide this matter, the Feng family openly admits it.

Moreover, the banquet post also stated the situation.

Send a message to each family, and whether the corresponding person comes over is not a consideration for them.

On May [-], Xiao Nianzhi only worked for half a day.

Concubine Hui had told His Majesty early in the morning about the Feng family's marriage recognition, so he naturally knew about it.

Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi was given leave early.

If it weren't for the cement follow-up that required her to follow up, Xiao Nianzhi could take the day off today.

but……

There was no other way. Xiao Nianzhi felt that his sense of morality was still too strong.

I always feel like I get too much money, and if I don’t do something, I feel uneasy.

Therefore, she may not have the potential to become a capitalist.

After finishing his work in the morning, Xiao Nianzhi went back to Xiao Mansion, hurriedly freshened up, changed into new clothes, and then took a carriage to Feng Mansion.

The uncle will also take leave tomorrow and come over to attend the banquet.

Yan Xingxuan said he was going back to prepare gifts, but he didn't show up all day.

Xiao Nianzhi didn't go out of his way to push him. The two of them were almost never separated recently. When they separated occasionally, it felt like they would create a sense of distance.

When Xiao Nianzhi arrived at Feng Mansion, some finishing work was being done.

The lanterns that should be hung must have been hung long ago. Now the housekeeper and a few stewards are inspecting them in batches. There are still various details that need to be filled in. If they are found, they must be done in time.

When grandpa heard that Xiao Nianzhi was coming, he didn't follow anyone to see him, but brought someone to the door early.

It was rare that Feng Ning didn't like to stay at home so much, following his second grandfather and looking out from time to time.

Seeing Xiao Nianzhi's carriage approaching, Feng Ning's eyes suddenly lit up.

Feng Ning doesn't care what happens to other people.

However, she likes this cousin.

I really, really like it!

If Xiao Nianzhi hadn't been on duty every day and there were too many people around him, Feng Ning would have even wanted to go out with her.

Unfortunately, there were too many people, and Feng Ning felt that he still couldn't adapt.

Entering the middle of the year, the weather has completely warmed up.

Xiao Nianzhi also changed into lighter clothes, the color of which was as cold and solemn as possible.

Even if tomorrow is the big day for her to recognize her bride, the ones chosen by the Feng family and her are mostly cyan or purple, and not particularly bright colors.

Today she is wearing a blue suit, from top to bottom, from light to dark, the workmanship is exquisite, and the embroidery is also very good. It can be seen that it is made of good material.

These were all rewards given by His Majesty before, as well as those given by the Queen Mother and the harem.

Seeing his grandfather, Xiao Nianzhi felt helpless and distressed. After getting off the carriage, he quickly walked a few steps over and held his hand.

Second watch at 19:[-]
