After the Shangyuan Festival, I wonder if it was Shen Shaoguang's illusion, as if the whole city entered the exam month together. The Dongshi branch is adjacent to Chongrenfang, a place where scholars gather together. Every day, the customers in the store are discussing the upcoming Rites Examination and the subsequent selection of the Ministry of Personnel.

The second edition of the poetry collection with the emperor's poems has been put out, and as expected by Shen Shaoguang and Shao Jie, the "selling" is very popular. After all, there are still few "Kong Yiji" among the scholars, and most of them use formal methods, either leaving poetry or writing enough to consume. When looking at the account book, Shen Shaoguang saw a lot of people who put together one or two small dishes or cakes at the end-the calculation was all for the sake of this collection of poems, which reminded Shen Shaoguang of the experience of collecting shopping coupons on Double Eleven in his previous life.

Shen Ji also took advantage of the opportunity to launch a variety of scientific expedition-themed banquets, gold list title banquets, step-by-step banquets, and spring breeze banquets... The names of the dishes are also auspicious and elegant. Book heirlooms, purple robe soup, Chengen scrolls, Wende cakes, anyway, they are all the itch of scholars. ①

Not only that, Shen Ji also launched a scheduled "Tail Burning Banquet" event. The so-called "burning tail banquet" refers to the banquet held by scholars when they ascended the ranks or when officials were promoted. It is said that when a carp leaps over the Dragon Gate, it cannot pass unless the fire burns its tail. "Burning the tail" is the meaning of these scholars who have been enlisted or promoted to celebrate burning their tails and leaping over the Dragon Gate. ②

Scholars passed the exam. Qu Jiang's poems and the inscription of Yanta are honors given by officials. Therefore, this "burning tail banquet" is an extremely important part in the minds of scholars.

Shen Ji launched a pre-booked "burning tail banquet" in advance, and also wished the guests to enroll. The reservation fee required to pay is very small, and they can be refunded later. Many people are good for the blog Caitouer, also booked two tables.

As the big exam gets closer, the pressure on the scholars is getting bigger and bigger, and the wine shop is getting more and more noisy. There are those who are smug, those who are uneasy, those who are unhappy, and those who look like madness.

In view of everyone's mental state, Dongshi Shenji specially strengthened the security and sent a few more tall and strong guys, but fortunately it has been useless - Shen Shaoguang is quite a Buddhist Restaurant owner, what is there to cry, cry, sing, and sing? The pressure is high, and you don't want others to vent? As long as you don't smash and loot.

For these crying scholars, the stewards usually take them to the hall to deliver hangover soup and hot hand towels, so steward Qin has gained a very good reputation among the scholars. There was a scholar who wrote a poem for Guanshi Qin, "How difficult is the road ahead, tears and tears on the clothes, thank you for your generosity, cloth towels and sour soup, if you are lucky in the wild goose pagoda, come back to thank Qin Lang."

Warm man Qin steward: "Lang Jun don't think too much, go into battle lightly, you can do better in the test." He casually took the words of the little lady who persuaded him when he was the steward of Dongshi Shenji liquor store. sold out.

The scholar stood up staggeringly and put his arms around Qin Steward's shoulder, "Let's go to battle lightly... What Qin Langjun said is very true!"

Steward Qin hurriedly supported him, "Langjun be careful, be careful..."

These scholars have more eyes than the top, Qin Guanshi had never been so close to them before, he was quite frightened at first, but then he got used to it, scholars are also human!

Standing on the second floor, Shen Shaoguang sighed and shook his head. Seeing the emotion on her face, Lin Yan smiled.

Shen Shaoguang thinks that he is a scholar who has both luck and ability, a young jinshi who is less than 20 years old, and a prosperous Tanhualang. and powerlessness. Big brother, you should live less.

Seeing her more emotional appearance, Lin Yan also laughed more and more, "Ali, the look on your face seems to have suffered like this."

"I—" Shen Shaoguang closed his mouth angrily, didn't I also study hard for more than ten years? Junior high school entrance examination, high school entrance examination, college entrance examination, starting from the sixth grade of primary school, every year the teacher said, "This is the year where your destiny will be decided", and the frequency of saying "you are the most difficult students I have ever brought" is about the same...

Shen Shaoguang is not a hard-working student, but she is thin-skinned, and she is embarrassed to think too badly, so she maintains her grades at a level that makes the teacher's teeth itch all year round, and if it is higher, even if You don't have to worry about being a scholar anymore. If you are a little bit worse, everyone can't worry about it, so Shen Shaoguang has become the kind of person who is often spurned...

Alas, just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.

Shen Shaoguang turned his head to look at Lin Yan again, if he was in the future, he would probably belong to the kind of school grass with good grades, good looks, and also playing basketball? As long as you go to the court, there will always be a girl in the stands who will help you hold your clothes and fetch water. You will write less than half of the questions you have, and your grades will be higher than yourself... Think about the 50-meter sprint that you will never pass, and the exam results of someone in front of you. , Shen Shaoguang is very angry, why? ah?

"What's wrong?" Lin Yan held back a smile.

Shen Shaoguang used his eyes to ruthlessly "twist" his waist twice - there is a lot of tender meat here and it hurts.

Lin Yan coughed softly and warned softly, "Ah, outside..."

Shen Shaoguang: "..." Deputy Mayor Lin, can you be more simple?

In addition to these pre-exam syndromes, there are also very calm scholars, such as two scholars from Suzhou. One of them was only in his twenties. He was very good-looking. Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, he was quite majestic. If he dressed up and said he was a son of a prince, some would believe him. His friend was in his thirties, he didn't like words, and he looked a little straight. He didn't know how such two gentlemen were friends.

The manager sells to them, "The small shop can handle the 'burning tail banquet' on behalf of the gentlemen."

This gentleman raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Oh? If you really get hit, you have to trouble the expensive wine shop." A mellow Luo Xiayan said.

The scholars listened to the burning tail banquet, so indifferent... not much.

I thought this was Lin Shaoyin's kind of deserted person, but who would have thought that he would take the initiative to say hello, "Dare to ask the little lady?"

The manager introduced: "This is the owner of our shop."

This gentleman showed a surprised look and smiled: "The little lady in Beijing is really smart, and it's different from me in remote places. The little lady is young, and she is such a family. The owner of the wine shop really makes me and other men ashamed."

How can you speak so well? Shen Shaoguang was a little surprised. But who doesn't like to hear good things? Shen Shaoguang personally took the two scholars to sit upstairs and handed over the menu.

After a few words of gossip, knowing that they were scholars from Suzhou, Shen Shaoguang felt that southerners must be a little uncomfortable in the north for winter, especially this winter this year is extremely cold and long The festival is over, and there is a heavy snowfall, and it has not been cleaned up yet.

But as a "Chang'an person" who has been in Chang'an since he crossed the road, Shen Shaoguang still wants to honor the capital: "It was not so cold in previous years, I remember that this time last year, the spring flowers were all over the city. opened."

The solar term is late, not only the welcome spring flowers, but also the spring dishes. At this time last year, spring dishes were already very popular, and this year, hot pot is still occupying the C position - of course, it may also be related to the emperor's visit to make an advertisement.

The young man who said his surname was Ji smiled and said: "I heard from the same year that your shop has an excellent Xiaoding boiled meat, called 'hot pot', which is most suitable for such a season eat."

It's clear, like clear water, but it's actually delicious. It's not bad for some fish and vegetables. There are also herbs added..."

Shen Shaoguang gave a brief introduction, and also tweeted a couple of words about today's Yang Scorpion hot pot, just now in the back kitchen, it smells so good - however, she feels that the push is also a waste of time, like the front This one is unlikely to hold a piece of lamb spine and open his mouth and fork to gnaw, and they are southerners, I am afraid they are not used to it.

Who would have thought that Ji Langjun would nod, "It's the sheep and scorpion pot."

Shen Shaoguang nodded with a smile, and asked the taciturn scholar, "Where is this gentleman?"

"Same as Jilang."

Shen Shaoguang asked them what wine and tea they wanted, and they ordered Xinfeng wine and buttermilk at will.

Shen Shaoguang smiled and nodded to the two of them, "Waiting, gentlemen."

It wasn't long before the pot came up, Shen Shaoguang helped put the pot and side dishes such as tofu, vermicelli, wasabi, mushrooms, and said with a smile: "Finally, let's order some wheat noodles and hoto. , Eating it warmly is a complete sheep and scorpion pot."

Ji Langjun smiled and nodded, and Shen Shaoguang took care of himself.

Shen Shaoguang came up to the second floor once in the middle, and Ji Langjun was holding the backbone of the sheep and sucking the marrow. It was the first time that Shen Shaoguang saw gnawing the bones and sucking the marrow so elegantly, he couldn't help thinking to stray. Another day, he must let his own Lin Shaoyin taste this sheep and scorpion pot. His lips were sucking against the bones. A breath... Shen Shaoguang smiled brightly.

After a while, Ji Langjun's friend greeted Hoto. Shen Ji's Houto are all made by the chef holding large pieces of noodles, which are thick and thick, thin and thin, and also have various shapes of leek leaves, petals, and armbands. The cooking of the live performance nature is quite interesting and can often win some applause.

When Shen Shaoguang went to the kitchen, he asked, "Are you guys satisfied with our hoto?"

The chef is very honest, "No color."

Shen Shaoguang smiled and comforted him: "Xu people want to get down to business, how can everyone applaud? If we have so many people who are really satisfied, it will be amazing."

Out of the kitchen, A Yuan and Shen Shaoguang said, "I think the little lady is liked by ten out of ten people."

Shen Shaoguang snorted her, "You can pull it down! Think of Lu Sanniang, think of Yunlai wine shop, think of the gangster who is going to slit my throat, ten percent... "

"Ninety percent of that."

Shen Shaoguang: "…"

You can't reason with your fans, not to mention Shen Shaoguang doesn't want to reason with his fans, "Okay, 90%, 90%, what do we eat at night? Today's sheep scorpion is really Okay, but it's too late for us to go back to stew in the evening, how about making mutton soup cake? Add some cornel sauce and pepper when you eat..."

Langjun surnamed Ji and his friend came down from the second floor, nodded slightly to Shen Shaoguang, Shen Shaoguang returned the salute, "Two Langjun, walk slowly."

Watching them go out, Shen Shaoguang walked upstairs, and the runner was cleaning up, looking at the soup at the bottom of the houto bowl, Shen Shaoguang was moved, and opened the small jar of vinegar and cornel sauce on the table, The vinegar is almost at the bottom, and the cornel sauce has also gone down a lot. It is actually two people from Suzhou who can eat sour and spicy...
