Chapter 13: Who's Reinventing the Rules?
The night market is back to normal, but the vendors on both sides are crowded, and countless people are shouting.
"Among these people are ordinary people, there are merchants, there are literati, the old man just came all the way and recognized a few officials in the court, they are just for food at the moment, regardless of their status, but they don't know that behind all this is just a teenager in his teens."
Bao Zheng's mood was not very good.
"The old man has checked your details, and when Shen Bian was there, he said that you are the Qilin of the Shen family, and he is not afraid of taboos? The people of Xiongzhou say that you are gifted and intelligent, and you are a child prodigy......"
"Fake."
Shen An did not hesitate to smear himself.
"Reading is tough."
Bao Zheng's old face was a little dim under the lamplight, "Even if you can read a book well, you can be a prodigy, but you can easily make a stir-fry, and Gu Zhiyiya can't compare with you." ”
Shen An said indiscriminately: "I'm more lazy to eat." ”
"Delicious and lazy?"
Bao Zheng looked at him sideways, "You carried your sister all the way from Xiongzhou to Bianliang, look at this child, it hasn't been long since he arrived in Bianliang, how ruddy is this face, can such a brother be lazy?" ”
Guoguo didn't like Bao Zheng, so when she heard this, she made a grimace at him.
Bao Zheng smiled at her, and was a little kind.
"You can easily make a stir-fry, and then these vendors in the Zhouqiao Night Market will worship you as a god, and then you will have a foundation. With money and manpower, this is another killing two birds with one stone. Shen An, listen to the old man, go to the exam. There are rules in Kaifeng Mansion that foreigners who have lived for less than seven years are not allowed to take the test here, but the old man personally recommended it, and this quota is available. ”
This policy was the previous one, and the magistrate could guarantee that foreign students could take the exam in Kaifeng Province, but they needed to take risks.
"No, no."
Shen An replied to Bao Zheng with just two words.
Bao Zheng sighed: "Are you fighting for your father? But that's the rule, if you give up the exam for this, it won't be long before you and your children and grandchildren will be out of the picture, are you willing? ”
"I do."
Shen An's unhesitating answer made Bao Zheng a little disappointed.
"You're only fourteen years old, but you can talk to the old man and lie without hesitation, like that...... Born to fit officialdom. ”
Shen An smiled bitterly: "Bao Gong, you are bent on getting me to officialdom, it's nothing more than that officialdom has those overt and dark rules, if it is overstepping, it will be difficult to move an inch." But I don't like those days, if I really become an official, I will probably be a rule breaker, would you like to? ”
Bao Zheng shook his head helplessly and said, "You, you, but since you have made a stir-fry, then be careful." ”
He walked away almost gloatingly.
You can do it, but the catering industry in Bianliang City is not vegetarian, and the powerful people behind it will not let their profits suffer.
He walked more than ten steps and suddenly said: "If you regret it, come to find the old man, and the old man will bear all the old man's burden for you." ”
Shen An shook his head slightly and said, "I'll talk about it then!" ”
Bao Zheng shook his head and walked away, but the flow of people in the night market has been rising.
The sergeants were screaming and screaming with all their might, driving those who came after them out.
Those hawkers had only gone through Shen An's five-day intensive training, but once they appeared today, they actually detonated Bianliang City.
Of course, what they are most grateful for at the moment is Shen An, but they don't have time to think about it.
Business has been so good that it couldn't be better, and now it's not that I'm afraid of no customers, but that there are too many customers.
Those diners were even more incredible.
Zhouqiao Night Market has existed for many years, and it was very surprising that all the people went on strike, but after reopening today, it was all stir-fried vegetables.
The rumored stir-fry is only available in a few large restaurants such as Fan Lou, and the mystery is mysterious, as if eating the elixir of the fairy of Longhu Mountain.
Zhao Zhen felt that he was really enduring, but he felt very hungry every night.
"That steamed chicken ......"
He was very kind, and he was not willing to let the imperial chef run all night for his own appetite.
Chen Zhonghengdui said with a smile: "The official, the minister has long ordered people to wait outside the palace, so let them buy a chicken." ”
Zhao Zhen nodded with a straight face, and Chen Zhonghengfei also went.
Zhao Zhen picked up a piece of music and looked at it slowly.
When the hurried footsteps came again, Zhao Zhen sighed: "Run slower, don't fall, I'm not in a hurry." ”
Chen Zhongheng ran in quickly, with a shocked face, and there was no food box in his hand.
Zhao Zhen's complexion changed, and he asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The calamitous Great Song Dynasty not only has a lot of internal problems, but also has two wolves staring at it outside, and any disturbance will make Zhao Zhen nervous.
Chen Zhongheng gasped and said, "Official, Zhouqiao...... There was trouble at the state bridge. ”
Zhao Zhen Huoran got up and ordered: "Immediately call someone to ask for news and ask Bao Zheng." Also, the Privy Council will definitely have a response, go and ask. ”
The news kept coming, the Privy Council didn't react, and several bigwigs didn't even receive the news, and the little mess was quelled by Bao Zheng.
"Official, the Zhouqiao Night Market is full of stir-fried vegetables!"
What rice?
Zhao Zhen's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "The kind in the palace?" ”
Chen Zhongheng said tangledly: "The state bridge is no longer crowded in, and the minister can only send someone to investigate tomorrow." ”
Hiss!
Zhao Zhen gasped and said, "It's so delicious?" Whose handwriting? ”
Chen Zhongheng lowered his head and said: "It's still that hawker......"
Bianliang City went crazy tonight, and those gourmets all went to the Zhouqiao Night Market, and then brought back crazy news.
"It's a stir-fry like never before! Delicious like never before! ”
A man with a mouth full of oil standing outside the gate of the Fan Tower and roaring, "Go to Nima! Last time, I said that I would eat a stir-fry, and I said that the chef was not happy to do it, go and see! Go to Zhouqiao to see, it's all stir-fried dishes, it's better than yours! ”
More than a dozen big men looking at the gate in Fan Lou looked at each other.
Isn't this crazy?
Fan Lou is very large, and there are many merchants.
Most of these businesses have some backing people behind them, that is, half of the official businessmen.
In such a context, someone came to ask for wildfire?
The two big men approached with unkind faces, and the man was still shouting.
"You're done! It's over! ”
There was a sound of horses' hooves, and the two smiling men glanced at it, then stopped and asked, "Why are you fighting horses at night, tomorrow Bao Zheng will come to find our trouble......
The person who came turned over and dismounted, shouting: "The Zhouqiao Night Market is all stir-fried vegetables, all stir-fried vegetables!" ”
More than a dozen big men couldn't help but laugh.
"Those are coaxing, aren't they?"
Someone rushed in, and it wasn't long before a large crowd came out.
These are all businesses that operate restaurants in Fan Lou.
They stared blankly ahead.
"There are brothers queuing up to buy stir-fried vegetables, and they will be there soon."
The sound of horses' hooves came quickly, and no one would care about any violations, and if it was a big deal, they would hand it over, and it would be a big deal to pay a fine.
Approaching, the knight dismounted cautiously, and someone went over to bring the food box he was carrying.
"The villain is going to get chopsticks!"
Some people are deaf and clear-sighted, and they want to use this to gain the favor of these merchants.
"No need."
When the food box was opened, the five dishes inside were still steaming hot, as well as the aroma......
A merchant vulgarly picked up a pork belly with his hand and froze as soon as he ate it in his mouth.
Merchants began to taste it.
"Who did it? Who got those hawkers together and taught stir-frying? Who can have that much ability? ”
"This is a new rule for us in Bianliang City! Who is it? ”
The eyes of the merchants were all solemn, and some people couldn't even believe it, and then pinched themselves hard.
Amid the screams, the knight said, "That's it...... Shen An who sells potstickers. ”
Quiescence!
