Chapter 1113: As Expected!
was deep in thought, calculating with glee and devising a new plan—to exchange fruit for gold bangles…This time when I went into the palace to deliver fruit, it was still the village head and Li Laoer...Liu Zhiheng remained unmoved, his head down and eyes closed, not uttering a word even as his father berated him.
Even Old Master Liu, who was usually quite fiery, ignored him. He held his bowl of noodles and ate them slowly.
Liu Zhiheng ate a bowl and was still unsatisfied, so he said, “Wife, have the house cook go to Suijin Beach and learn this cold noodle recipe from the county princess. That way, we can eat it whenever we want.”
Mrs. Liu glared at him, pulled out her handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and said coquettishly.
The county lord's ideas are wonderful, and the food she makes is delicious. Especially this cooling noodles, I estimate it will be popular if sold at Xianke.
"What nerve you have, sending people to learn on Suijin Beach! Don't you consider yourself an outsider Just bear with it for a few days, and whenever you want to eat, just go to Xianke Lai."
Having said that, she pushed the remaining half of her bowl over to him.
Liu Zhiheng didn't mind, he giggled and ate it all up.
To Liu's wife's surprise, Jiāhuān in the backyard only took a few bites of the cold noodles and knew that it definitely deserved to be the new star on the menu.
He immediately inquired, and the servants at home readily responded, explaining everything clearly.
The county princess said, if the second young master liked it, she would have Shuiyun come over tomorrow. This cold noodles are simple and easy to learn, you can see how to make them.
Jia Huan was delighted and rewarded the little servant with a copper coin. He instructed him to go back and tell Shui Yun to come be his master tomorrow.
The chefs in the restaurant are bound by death contracts, so they're not afraid of leaking the recipes even if they learn them.
If all goes well, it will be successfully launched around lunchtime tomorrow.
It is foreseeable that business will surely be booming for a while.
The little servant received the reward, but instead of leaving in a hurry, he diligently helped with some small chores.
Jia Huan was strange, and said, “Why not hurry back to Suijin Beach”
The servant smiled and replied, "We came out together as brothers. Let's take a carriage to Lo An. When he comes back to pick me up, we'll return to Suijin Beach together."
Jia Huan thought of his father and the cat at the academy, missing them dearly. He pondered visiting them in a few days when he had some free time, but for now, he continued his busy work.
Since the start of summer, the weather has been getting hotter and hotter.
In the academy, whether it was the students or the masters, having to wear proper attire and sit neatly in the study hall to read was simply unbearable.
After several elderly gentlemen and five or six students had suffered from heatstroke consecutively, Dr. Zhou decided to change the schedule.
The morning class starts from dawn and ends in the middle of the day.
The afternoon class starts from dusk and ends with the second session.
Thus, the hottest part of the day was passed.
Students either take a nap to recharge or choose a shady spot under a tree or a grass pavilion at the foot of the mountain to study, enjoying a lot of freedom.
Mao Ge'er and Zhi Min, Xiu Jie, Guo Wenhao and a few others naturally gathered in Li's courtyard.
Because there were no outsiders, the only maidservant was still in the tea room in the dining hall, so they felt at ease.
He simply took off his clothes, went shirtless, put on a pair of shorts, and started having fun.
In the southeast corner, there grew two trees, their shade falling right in front of the ear room's door, making it the coolest spot.
A few people simply spread mats and lay down in a sprawling manner, chatting about everything under the sun.
Therefore, when someone suddenly knocked on the door, everyone was startled and hastily put on their clothes to open it.
Luckily, it was Li Laosan outside the door.
He was carrying two large lunch boxes and greeted the boys.
"Come help me, I'm exhausted! Your sister brought us some delicious food!"
This phrase was even more effective than an imperial decree. The youngsters cried out and rushed forward, instantly snatching the lunchboxes away.
Li Laosan wasn't in a hurry. He washed his hands, took off his outer garment, and turned to see several young boys staring at their bowls of noodles, seeming unsure how to start. He couldn't help but smile.
"This is cold noodles made by your sister, come, let me teach you how to eat them."
Meow Meow touched the cold altar with his paw, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"Uncle Three, my nephew is starving to death, please help quickly."
Zhimin and Xiujie also smiled and came forward, while Guo Wenhao quietly helped serve the bowls and dishes on the side.
Li Laosan deftly ladled a bowl for each of the boys, saving the last one for himself.
Soon, the grandfather and his several family members ate a very refreshing meal and were pleasantly surprised.
Li Laosan let out a breath of cool air and smiled, "Fu Niuer said that if I was willing, I could sell cold noodles in the cafeteria.
"But the canteen is short-staffed, and they're struggling to keep up with cooking. They simply can't spare the time. "
"Would you like to take over this business I'll lend you both rooms."
"Really" Several kids exclaimed in unison, "Haha, we accept, of course!"
Meow Ge'er didn't have much pressure from exams. His family had two older brothers who were officials, so whether he had more or less wouldn't make much of a difference.
Zhimi and Xiujie are following Grandpa's arrangement. This year, things are not looking good, so they are keeping a low profile.
Guo Wenhao was more free, without the constraints of his elders and relatives, he only listened to Mr. Wen's words, gradually accumulating knowledge, waiting for the opportunity to come, striving for a meteoric rise.
In this way, together they took advantage of the scorching heat this year to do some small business, earning themselves some pocket money and killing time…
When the orange-red sunset bathed the beach in gold, Jia Yin not only received valuable gifts from the palace, including a chest of gauze curtains and various fans from the Liu family, but also welcomed back her second uncle, Mr. Wen, and Mao'er.
Needless to say, everyone agreed that we should have cold noodles for dinner.
On a day like this, icy and sweet noodles are perfect for beating the heat and satisfying your hunger. Who wouldn't love them
The next day, Mr. Wen and Li Lao Er went to work.
Shu Yun went to Xianke to be his master, and Mao Ge'er also took the recipe and some silver from his sister to give him. He happily returned to Luo An Town.
In the palace, someone had Water Cloud directly fetch cold noodles from Immortal Guest and send them over.
Jia Yin spent the whole day with Shui Ling in the medicine field and pharmacy.
The top-grade healing medicine from Suijin Beach is renowned throughout Tianwu for its remarkable effectiveness.
But don't say that each pharmacy, even the imperial palace, doesn't have them, they basically supplied all the troops for the Northern Expedition.
Occasionally, some circulated outside, also gifts from the Li family to friendly families like the Jia and Xing, and then passed on again.
The quantity is extremely small, almost negligible.
It's not like she's just sitting on her money and doesn't want to make a profit.
This highly effective medicine is truly invaluable. The herbal garden is merely a facade; the real medicinal ingredients come from the spatial dimension.
Space, always a mysterious realm unto itself.
Over the past few years, because of saving countless lives, the energy of space has seemed to accumulate to a certain extent.
Jia Yin had a premonition that when this northern campaign was victorious, space would undergo earth-shattering changes!
They didn't mention being busy, nor did they say that the Xianke Lai and Luan Academy bookstore launched cold noodles one after another, which were met with praise throughout the city.
Finally, the list of those selected to enter the palace has been released, under the hopeful gazes of many families’ daughters.
Although it was expected, the disappointment was palpable among those young women of humble backgrounds who were not selected.
The Crown Princess was the daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs. The two concubines both came from noble families, one of whom was the illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Dingbei.
The other four beauties were also the daughters of high-ranking officials.
Even with six concubines, the power behind them is not to be underestimated.
The prince said that if there was no empress, there would be none.
It is said that one day, thirteen people were welcomed into the palace...
To prevent any unforeseen occurrences during the night, the order was given that the next day, thirteen maidens would all enter the palace.
The originally vacant palace was quickly divided up and became lively.
Today's single update, stomach ache, Huahua takes a day off, and will continue to double update tomorrow.As Jia Yin guessed, the Gu family's flower viewing party this time was actually a matchmaking banquet.Of course, with the Dean of the Academy, a female headmaster, vouching for them, this "Blind Date...
