The opening of Nianyun Tangshui Shop is not as well-known as the Chenjia Hor Fen shop, but Chen Nianguan took Liu's family to uncover the red silk cloth on the plaque and set off a firecracker to signify that it was considered official.opened.

The guys wore off-white muslin work clothes, and they didn't come out to attract diners, but just sat quietly in the shop and waited for the customers to come to the door.

Other merchants on Five Willow Lane are also curious about this shop that doesn't look like a shop from the outside.

It's been a while since the renovation inside, and some people have gone up to inquire about it. The shop that originally sold liquor was planning to use it for a living. Carpenter He probably wanted to attract customers for Chen Nianguan. To be honest, it was a sugar shop, and he said welcome.Come at that time.

The person who inquired was amazed: "It's expensive to eat sugar here. Where can anyone eat it often? You also specialize in selling sugar water? Water with sugar? Who will come to patronize?"

"That's right, no, no, I can't make a living with this business."

After the renovation was completed, they saw that the owner of the Tangshui shop asked someone to move green plants outside the store, bought flowers and trees, and arranged it, hey, it’s pretty nice, but it doesn’t look like a store at all..

"The owner of this sugar shop doesn't know how to do business?"

Who doesn't spend real money inside the store, but the owner of this sugar shop spends it outside the store?

Why do you make it look so good outside?

When it opened today, saw that there were no lion dances to celebrate, and there were not many diners who joined in, so laughed.

That's right, the owner of this sugar shop is not suitable for business.

I don't know how to attract customers, and don't call a few people to set up the venue in advance to have a look. It's just opened, but the door is deserted. How can it look like it can continue?

When everyone entered the shop, a wooden clip was pulled out, and those who watched the excitement ran up to take a look. It was written in neat and neat words. They knew it was a word, but many people couldn't understand it, so they shook their heads and left., So more than half of the onlookers went, and there were a few literate people left who could understand, and their eyes immediately widened.

Hey, here, what is written in the first column, Guiling jelly, one tael for a bowl?

Hey, why does this tortoise jelly sell for a tael of silver a bowl?

Can it be sold?

Look further down, Shuangpi Nai, what is this?

Double-skin milk, a bowl of 200 renminbi, ice cheese sweet bowl, 200 renminbi a bowl, sesame paste, a bowl of 100 renminbi, mung bean syrup, a bowl of 50 renminbi, ..., followed by a slipThe drink, twenty Wen.

After reading it, they looked at each other and said, the cheapest cup of drink in this sugar shop costs 20 cents!

Tut tut!

Chen Nianguan saw someone outside looking at the sign of the sugar shop, pushed the door and went out.

The moment the door was pushed open, the people around Zhao Zi all felt a chill.

Darling, why is it so cool in here?How much ice does it take?

"Everyone, are you interested in the food in our Tangshui shop? Would you like to come in and have a taste?" Chen Nianguan asked with a smile.

Those ????? people waved their hands one after another, and then scattered like birds and beasts.

Fifty Wen a bowl of sugar water, who can afford it?

Chen Nianguan turned back and entered the store. Seeing that there were no diners coming to the store after opening, Liu was worried: "Wan Wan, is this price too high?"

"It's not high, Ma'am, our store is for the business of distinguished customers, so it's worth the price." Chen Nianguan is not afraid that no one will come, "Also, the sugar water we make is so delicious, as long as a customer comes to the door, it will naturally be eaten."It will bring others to come!"

Especially tortoise jelly.

It is close to the ferry of the river, and the river often has ladies and girls taking picturesque boats to enjoy the cool air, and Five Willow Lane is the only way to go back to the city. Sooner or later, they will pass the Tangshui shop.She didn't believe it, she wouldn't come in to take a look out of curiosity.

"My sister's sugar water is delicious!"

As the first batch of small diners in this restaurant, Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye sat in the seats they picked, eating sesame paste with relish, while yelling at Chen Nianguan.

Chen Nianguan returned with a proud smile, signaling the six waiters who were still nervous to stay calm.

The six waiters, the two gentlemen, and the four ladies are all locals from Fucheng, and they all choose good-looking girls and gentlemen, and then they are responsible for receiving orders at the counter at the order receiving counter and passing them to the back kitchen.Sister Fang's younger brother, Azhu.

The shopkeeper is still Chen Nianguan for the time being, and will replace it later when find a suitable one.

Just considering that the ice shop is a seasonal business, only open for two or three months, the shopkeeper Liu Yang there will be idle, Chen Nianguan prefers that if Liu Yang is capable, let him take care of the shopkeepers of the two stores.

At that time, at the other end of the ice shop, find one of the four beasts to do cash register work for two or three months, and let Liu Yang assist.

It didn't take long for the people in the Tangshui shop to welcome the first batch of customers.

It was Mrs. Jiang who came with her two daughters.

"This shop doesn't look like a shop, does it really sell tortoise jelly?"

"It's really cool in this sugar shop, Ma'am, it's even cooler than my room."

Chen Nianwan greeted her early with a smile: "Madam, ladies, welcome to my shop, this way please, this way please." Chen Nianguan led the person to the right, Madam Jiang looked at Xuan Xuan who was eating sugar water on the leftAsk Liu Ye, "Can't we sit on this side?"

"Ah, Madam doesn't know, the seat on the left is reserved for gentlemen, and the private room on the right is specially reserved for diners like Madam and ladies."

Mrs. Jiang hesitated on the way here. Today is the first day of opening, the sugar shop must be crowded, and the day is so hot, the shop must be crowded to death.

She is a majestic Mrs. Jiang, she doesn't bother to squeeze with people. If there are many people, find a private seat. If there is no private seat, will go home immediately. want to eat turtle paste. Anyway, she has opened, so just ask the steward to buy it.

Unexpectedly, the carriage stopped at Five Willow Lane of Tangshui Shop, and the shop she saw didn't look like it was open.

Urged by her daughters to dismount, Mrs. Jiang bravely walked to the front of the shop, and saw the tricks on the wooden shelf.

Oh, it's really a clear price!

After opening the door and coming in, Mrs. Jiang felt relieved.

Not to mention that there is plenty of air-conditioning inside, which dissipates the heat all the way, just looking at the layout of the shop, it is elegant and quiet, and it is not like an ordinary food shop.

Mrs. Jiang followed Chen Nianguan all the way into the dining area inside the screen, looked at the private seats separated by the screen, and the box seat where the plan was placed, "Ladies and gentlemen, you can choose where you like to sit. The sugar water served today, the signs are all hung on the wall, if you want to eat, just place an order with me."

The two ladies Jiang looked at Mrs. Jiang, waiting for her to decide on a seat.

Mrs. Jiang chose an elegant seat separated by a screen, and the two Mrs. Jiang hurriedly sat down and glanced at the wooden sign on the wall: "Mother, I want a bowl of turtle jelly and a bowl of double-skin milk..”

"I also want a bowl of Guiling Jelly and a bowl of Shuangpi Nai."

Madam Jiang's first choice is naturally tortoise jelly.

She ordered three bowls of tortoise paste, two bowls of Shuangpi Nai, and three cups of drinks, and then signaled the servant to take out a red ticket, "I heard that with this red ticket, your store will give you a snack?"

Chen Nianguan took the red ticket and smiled: "Yes, please wait a moment, ladies and gentlemen. We will deliver the sugar water you ordered right away."

The first time he saw this lady, Chen Nianguan thought it looked familiar, after a few more glances, he remembered it.

This lady looks a bit like Jiang Yu, could this be Mrs. Jiang?

Knowing that his own Tangshui shop opened, he walked into the store without hesitation, ordered Guiling jelly, and there was a red ticket. Chen Nianguan was sure that this must be Mrs. Jiang.

So told Azhu about the list, and Azhu immediately reported it to the back chef.

Soon, Chen Nianguan and the two waiters brought up three bowls of Guiling jelly, two bowls of Shuangpi Nai, three cups of drinks, and three different snacks on trays.

When Mrs. Jiang saw the tortoise jelly that she hadn't eaten for a long time, she felt a good appetite. The two ladies Jiang who knew the benefits of tortoise jelly also moved their hands happily.

Seeing that they were enjoying their meal, Chen Nianguan and the other waiters withdrew.

Sitting behind the counter now was Mrs. Liu, who was listening to Shan'er and smiled when he saw that diners had finally come to his door.

There were only three diners here, and they didn't think it was too expensive. Without frowning, each of them ordered a bowl of Guiling jelly, which was worth a few taels of income.

Wan Wan is right, the price is really not set high.

That is to say, for Guiling paste alone, if you only entertain twenty guests a day, you will have twenty taels of silver?Liu Shi was shocked.

After a while, the door of the shop was pushed open again.

With the live demonstration by Chen Nianguan, the trained waiters didn't panic anymore, and they all stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Welcome Madam to our shop."

"Hey, it's really cool here!" The lady yelled as soon as she entered the door, and then asked, "I heard that you sell tortoise jelly here, is it true?"

"Of course it's true, madam please."

"It's too cool here, did you use a lot of ice?" The lady couldn't help asking, "Are you willing to consume so much ice in your shop?"

"That's right, the shop bought a lot of ice cubes. On the street behind, there's an ice cooler shop. Because it's newly opened, it's cheap these days. A piece of ice only costs one tael of silver. If you're interested, madam, you canAsk the steward of the house to come and see?" Chen Nianguan promoted with a smile.

"real?"

"Really!" Chen Nianwan pointed to the shop with a smile, "Madam, if you go to the cold ice shop and buy a cart full of ice cubes, your house will definitely be cooler than this shop!"

The lady couldn't help laughing, she found a place to sit down, and said to the waiter, "Just bring me a bowl of turtle jelly, and I'll try to see if it's real."

In the private room separated by a screen, Mrs. Jiang looked at her two daughters: "Your brother and Ms. Chen Si's joint business is a cold ice shop?"

The two Jiang ladies nodded.

"The ice cubes at the cold ice shop are so cheap? Does the steward of our house buy ice for his own business, and go to the Ruyi ice shop to buy ice?" Mrs. Jiang, who is in charge of the house's distribution, suddenly realized this problem.

"Then, didn't the cold ice shop open not long ago? I'm afraid, brother is tired from studying and forgot for a while?"

Mrs. Jiang glared at her two daughters angrily, but said nothing.

When it was time to leave at the end, asked servants to pay the bill and bought three more bowls of tortoise jelly to take back home.

"Aniang, the sugar shop is so comfortable, bring us here next time!"

"Aniang, do you still have the red ticket? I like to eat that little crispy meat."

"I prefer to eat fish curd. I used to only have it in Yueman Building. I didn't expect this sugar shop to have it."

Mrs. Jiang got into the car, which was much hotter than the Tangshui shop, and felt that the Tangshui shop was much cooler.

A lot of ice is spent there!

Otherwise, how could the shop be so air-conditioned that she, the lady who put ice in the ice mirrors in three corners of the house, felt cool and comfortable?

"Okay, after two days, Auntie will bring you over again!"

One after another, there were female family members who were curious about passing by and came into the sugar shop to try the sugar water and drinks in the store. There were also a few people who came to the door with red tickets, especially for Guiling jelly.

On the first day of opening, the business ended in such a bland manner.

When calculating the profit for the day, Liu was taken aback. Twenty-two copies of Guiling Jelly were sold, and there were twenty-two taels of silver. In addition, there were other incomes from sugar water and drinks, which also cost thirteen taels.One hundred and twenty wen, add up to thirty-five two, three hundred and twenty wen.

Looking at it this way, although compared with the business in the pho shop, it lacks popularity and lacks of diners, but in fact, there is no extra attracting customers, and there is no need to shout loudly. Only a small number of customers are entertained, but it can catch up with the income of the pho shop..

At the Tangshui shop, you can earn money quietly!

It was only at this time that Mrs. Liu completely convinced her eldest daughter.

"Aniang, don't worry, it's only the first day!" Chen Nianguan looked at Liu Shi who was holding the account book, and said with a smile.

No, the cost of Guiling jelly alone is about one hundred and twenty taels, and if the sugar water is not doubled, it will not be able to pay back the cost.

Besides, her sugar shop not only sells sugar water, but also sells her own ice shop.

The diners who came to the sugar shop and could afford it must have a lot of money at home. Naturally, they are also the main consumers of the ice shop in the city. Naturally, they can use ice at home.

But, can ice be consumed as much as her sugar water shop?

Not to mention that all the food in the Tangshui shop is refrigerated, but just to cool down the temperature in the shop, she uses twelve large and small ice cups—the custom-made wooden tubs and barrels, filled with ice as decorationsPut it all over the store.

Isn't she the only one in Prefecture City who can spend as much ice as she does?

Who let her sit in an ice cellar and make an unlimited supply of ice cubes at any time?

And such a cool and refreshing shop, isn't it just a model advertisement for the cold ice shop?

Nowadays, Liangbing has a lot of ice in store. In addition to delivering ice to the west store for free, there is another customer?????? The east store, the ice in the ice store also needs to find customers slowly!

When the dog days arrive, Tangshuipu strives to be the coolest place in Prefecture City. Are you afraid that the word-of-mouth of the Cool Ice Shop will not spread?

At that time, the two shops will be together, and the customers will come like a cloud!

But on the second day when the cold ice shop opened, Liu Yang received two stewards from other families who came to inquire about buying ice.

"Is your cold ice shop really a seller of ice?"

"Hey, this guy is really serious, can you still call it a cold ice shop without ice cream?"

"Then, how do you sell these ice cubes?"

"One tael of silver."

"One tael of silver? Why is it so cheap? I'm afraid it's not some bad ice?"

"How is it possible? The ice in my cold shop is very good. It's definitely not bad ice. Don't you believe it, Liuhu, Liubao!"

Liu Yang shouted into the shop.

"What's the matter? Liu Yang?"

"What Liuyang? It's called the shopkeeper." Liu Yang frowned, and then called, "Bring me a piece of ice!"

"Okay!"

The ice came out, not one piece, but five pieces stacked together, each piece was crystal clear, dazzling in the sun.

"Look, look at the two masters, the ice made by our cold ice shop is genuine."

The two stewards stepped forward and touched it. It was cold, and it was really ice.

"I don't know how much the two masters want?"

"Give me fifty dollars first."

"I also want fifty yuan first."

"Hey, two masters, it's hard to come here, why don't you get enough for a hundred yuan? Now that the cold ice shop is newly opened, in order to thank the master who came to join us first, buy a hundred ice cubes, and give ten extra ice cubes to meTwo masters."

The two stewards had a little calculation.

Usually, when go to Ruyi Ice Shop to buy ice, fifty pieces of ice cost one hundred taels of silver, but here one hundred taels of silver can buy one hundred pieces of ice, and there are also ten pieces of ice for free.

Those ten pieces of ice are extras, if I don't tell myself, the people in the house won't know!

Ice is a good thing, and usually don't need it, but now it can be worth ten pieces of ice...

So the two stewards nodded, and each took out a silver note of one hundred taels.

Liu Yang happily took the two bank notes, and winked at Liu Hu and Liu Bao who were standing aside, "Why are you still standing there? Quickly bring ice cubes to these two gentlemen, one hundred yuan, and each of them wants one."A hundred pieces of ice."

"Understood!" Liuhu and Liubao wanted to move the ice cubes directly to the donkey cart brought by one of the stewards, but Liu Yang hit them hard on the head, "No, all the ice cubes have to be moved out."It's been a while, I can't give it to these two masters anymore, move back quickly, and move them something more reliable now."

solid?What does Bing talk about whether it is reliable or not?

The two stewards were puzzled.

Liuhu and Liubao moved the pieces of ice back to the temporary ice storage place in the shop, and then shouted to Liu Xiong and Liubao who was sitting at the entrance of the ice cellar: "It's time for business, two hundred pieces of ice, quickly go and move out the old ice in the innermost place."

"Okay!"

The four beasts entered the ice cellar together, pushed two ice trucks, ran to the innermost part of the ice cellar in one breath, moved two hundred pieces of ice out of the ice cellar twice, and put them on donkey carts brought by the two stewards.

As soon as the donkey cart left, Liu Yang saw Guan Shi Wang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and smiled: "Guan Shi Wang, long time no see, what do you need?"

Steward Wang smiled, waved his hand, and revealed the carriage behind: "We are ordered by Madam to come here to buy ice cubes."

"Steward Wang, you're being polite. How much ice does Jiangfu want? Let's move it for you now."

Steward Wang stretched out his hand and handed three hundred taels of silver bills to Liu Yang.

Liu Yang's eyes widened.

"Liubao Liuhu, hurry up, Manager Wang wants to buy us 300 yuan of ice, hurry up, move here." He almost lost his breath.

It's amazing!

Mr. Jiang sent someone to help the owner's ice shop. Once he bought three hundred pieces of ice, he would earn three hundred taels today just from his business. I'm afraid the owner would be very happy.

Of course Chen Nianguan was happy, look, just said a few words at the Tangshui shop, and the wife sent a steward to buy ice. After a while, more people came to look for it, maybe they could sell more?

Sure enough, on the second and third day of the Tangshui shop, diners came to the door. Although there were not many, there were only about a dozen ladies and ladies every day, but these ladies and ladies were obviously very satisfied with the Tangshui shop.The fresh sugar water in it, especially Guiling jelly, is full of praise. After eating it, would buy a few bowls back. When socializing, can’t help but talk about the one-two-dollar bowl of Guiling jelly in Prefecture City, as well as the good ones in the store.Eat double skin milk, sweet bowls, and so on.

So one pass ten, ten pass one hundred.

Soon, the wives and ladies in the same circles of Prefecture City all knew that there was a new Nianyun Tangshui shop opened on Five Willow Lane in the city.

The store is very refreshing and cold, and the Guiling jelly is quite authentic.

Mrs. Jiang's wife and ladies often go there to eat, and the girls of the Lin family also like it. The wife of the Shi family even made a special order that the Tangshui shop send a batch of Guiling jelly to the mansion every ten days. It seems that someone has seen it recently.The wife of my family also visited this sugar shop.

"Have you ever eaten Guiling jelly from Nianyun Tangshui shop?"

This sentence gradually became popular in several circles.

I heard that tortoise jelly is usually only eaten by the empresses in the palace, ordinary people, how can there be a chance?

Now suddenly a sugar shop selling Guiling jelly popped up, and they paid a tael of silver for a bowl. Is it real?

It must be genuine, otherwise, how could the wife and ladies of Jiang's mansion go there?How could the Lin family and the Shi family go?Even the magistrate's wife has been to the Tangshui shop for Guiling jelly, and it is said that she wants to invite the boss to the government office!

If it wasn't genuine, and these ladies are not stupid, how could they eat it?

As a result, the number of ladies and wives who came to patronize here and there gradually increased gradually.

And the cold ice shop's business is also getting better day by day.

In the days before Jiangfu sent people to buy ice cubes, the business of the cold ice shop was still sporadic. After the number of ladies and ladies came to the sugar water shop gradually, more and more stewards came to ask about ice cubes in the backyard.stand up.

Three hundred taels of income today, and four hundred taels of income tomorrow.

Counting no less than one hundred taels of bank notes every day, Liu Yang couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from twitching and the tails of his eyes raised.

It's done, it's done!

Master Chen is really about to start this business.

I don't know where Master Chen found that fairy powder, and how much money did it cost?

That fairy powder is so powerful, I'm afraid it's also very expensive.

Now earning so much money every day should be enough for the boss to cover the cost of buying fairy powder, right?

Chen Nianguan didn't know what was going on in Liu Yang's mind, even if he knew, he wouldn't tell him, he would have filled it in long ago.

Not to mention the 2,500 taels of silver used to buy the store, nor to say that the ice cellar cost her about 100 taels or more to renovate.It costs eighty taels, and then it costs four hundred taels to buy ice seeds.

In the past few days, the account of the disc ice cellar has already reached more than 2,000 taels. At the beginning, she came to Prefecture City with 3,000 taels of silver and only planned to open an ice shop.

Now not only has an ice shop opened, but also a sugar shop.

This ice cellar has been in operation for less than half a month, and she can almost pay back her capital!

And this is just the beginning.

Nowadays, ice is sold cheaply for one tael of silver, and even if you buy one hundred, you will get ten yuan free, in order to hook those stewards who come to buy ice for the first time, but sooner or later the price of ice will be on par with Ruyi ice shop, one tael of silverTo mention two taels of silver.

When will the price increase?

Naturally, after entering the scorching heat!

It is only a few days away from the summer solstice. When the time comes, one or two will become two, and the profit will be doubled?

As for the follow-up cost, it is basically ignored, because it is only the coolies of the four beasts.

The water used to make ice does not cost money!

Just ask the four beasts to move it in the river!

After laying the foundation of the front, the back, you can collect money simply by sitting, it is still a good thing to collect expensive money!

who is it?So wise and powerful, come up with such a profitable business?

It's her, it's her, it's her!The beautiful and beautiful Master Chen!

When Chen Nianguan finished counting his money that night and combed his hair in front of the bronze mirror, the smile on the face reflected in the bronze mirror never stopped.

Every minute, every minute, you can earn ten thousand taels of silver.

We can achieve a lot of wealth with our own hands, so we don't care about secret ways and treasures!

Chen Nianguan couldn't help but raise his brows, and was secretly proud when Liu Shi walked in: "Wan Wan!"

"Aniang!" Chen Nianguan was in a good mood, calling Liu Shi very sweetly.

"Look at you, it takes so long to comb your hair!" Liu Shi took the comb from Chen Nianguan's hand, combed Chen Nianguan's hair slowly, and slowly expressed his intention.

It turned out that Mrs. Liu had brought Xuan Xuan to Prefecture City for a while, and seeing that Tangshui Shop's business was on the right track, she planned to return to Funing County.

"So fast?" The smile on Chen Nianguan's face gradually disappeared.

"It's not fast." Mrs. Liu glanced at her daughter in the bronze mirror, "It's been almost half a month since I came here. I don't know how the business in the county is going. I have to go back and have a look, and in the village, your uncle built it for us.How is your house, and it's time to follow it!"

There are many other things too!

In particular, the scallop sauce brought this time is so popular. The west store has sold out all the retail ones these days, and don't know what the situation is at the main store.

After listening to Liu's chatter, Chen Nianguan had no choice but to nod: "Then, Aunt, I will go back with you."

"The Tangshui shop just opened, why don't you stay and watch?" Mrs. Liu shook her head, "Also, let's count the days, that Zhang Er is coming to Prefecture City soon, what are you going back for?"

What did Chen Nianguan want to say, Liu said again: "Stay here and accompany him to take the exam at ease. The time your father passed the exam as a scholar, it was also my mother who came to Prefecture City to accompany the exam. Your father is a scholar, and I am also a scholar."I hope that Zhang Er will at least come back as a scholar."

Liu Shi laughed as she spoke, "At that time, when you marry her, you will be a talented woman just like A Niang."

Chen Nianguan just ????? give up.

The next day, Xuan Xuan, who knew that she was going back to the county with A Niang, held Chen Nianwan's hand reluctantly: "Sister, in two days, you can pick me up to Fucheng to eat sugar water, okay?"

"Okay!" Chen Nianguan agreed without hesitation.

"What's the matter!" Liu smiled and patted her little daughter's head, "If Xuan Xuan likes to drink sugar water, I will make it for you when I go back."

Living in Prefecture City these days, Mrs. Liu watched Liu Yun and Sister Fang make sugar water, so she naturally learned a few tricks.

In order for Mrs. Liu to eat tortoise jelly after returning home, Chen Nianguan also specially asked Liu Feng to purchase another batch of tortoise shells and auxiliary materials, and asked Mrs. Liu to cook it herself after returning to the county.

After sending off the Liu family and his party, the number of strangers in the city gradually increased. Among them, the main ones were of course the children who participated in the examination, and some students and parents who came to observe the examination and feel the atmosphere of the examination in advance..

In the Chenjia Pho shop, the students who came to help out during the government examination last time, will come to patronize again when they come to Prefecture City again.

Then found out that the inside of this Chenjia Pho shop is really refreshing, cooler than other restaurants.

Drink another cup of free sour plum soup, order a few penny fish curds, and eat it, not to mention how happy it is, even the poetic spirit is quite high.

As a result, more and more children came here after hearing the news, and it was bustling. Naturally, other business in the store also improved.

Chen Nianguan looked at this group of high-spirited children, and asked his little uncle to post a trick with a smile.

Naturally, it's a way to recruit partners to join!

These children come from different states and counties. If anyone among them is willing to open the Chen Family Rice Noodle Shop at her doorstep, she can expand the business scope of the Chen Family Rice Noodle Shop on the one hand and collect money on the other hand, that would be great!

Although the income of the ice cellar is much higher than this one, but, as Liu Feng said, the money can earn a lot, who would think less?

As for leeks, every crop that can be harvested is a crop.

After the posters were posted, Tongsheng naturally saw them, but most of them were focused on the college entrance examination.

Isn't that right, they have been working hard for ten years, in order to pass the hospital examination, the first threshold of carp leaping through the dragon's gate, who would not think about it, not taking the imperial examination to earn a bright future, and come to make a living as a merchant like this?

Therefore, after the trick was posted, there was little response.

Chen Nianguan is not in a hurry either.

She just wanted to cast a wide net, first let others spread the news that the Chen Family Pho Shop is recruiting partners, and then slowly collect the fish!

Not to mention Chen Nianguan's plan, within two days, Zhang Erlang came to Prefecture City along with the students from Qingyun Academy.

In the same year as Qiuwei's college exam and the township exam, these students have a big exam every other month, non-stop, even Chen Nianguan can't help but feel that these students are studyingHard.

Originally, Chen Nianguan planned to let Zhang Erlang live in Five Willow Lane.

It's cool by the ice cellar over there!

But Liu Qing lived in Liuhua Lane, and when she heard that Zhang Erlang was coming, she immediately persuaded Chen Nianguan to let him live in Liuhua Lane.

Both of them are students who are taking exams, living together is convenient for exchanging ideas before the exam!

The second aunt also said that the engaged man and woman lived together because they had no land to live in before, but now they have land to live in. She is an unmarried woman who is the head of Five Willow Lane, and it is not appropriate for Zhang Erlang to live in the past.

So Chen Nianguan had to give up.

Just like the last time came to Prefecture City to participate in the government examination, the students of Qingyun Acade were all taken by Mrs. Cen to the government office to apply for the examination. Naturally, Chen Nianguan also saw his third brother who came for the scientific examination.

Chen Nianjian seems to be the signature student of Qingyun Academy, and now many people in Funing County have heard of this young man who has won the county examination and the government examination.

Tongsheng at the age of 14 or 15 is rare. Generally, those who can be admitted to Tongsheng at this age are extremely intelligent.

But this year, there were two in Funing County.

Chen Nianjian and Shen Fan.

Also related.

Although Shen Fan is also eye-catching, he is not as famous as Chen Nianjian after all.

He is already the head of the government examination case, and it should not be difficult to be a scholar in the hospital examination.

Everyone was waiting for Chen Nianjian to come back with another case to make a little money.

As for the major taverns and gambling houses in the Prefecture City, this grand event was held for the students of the college examination. Regarding Chen Nianjian, he was no longer underestimated like he was in the last government examination.

"Which turtle grandson said two months ago that the first name in the Funing County case was not worthy of the name? I didn't dare to bet, and I lost such a chance to make money for nothing?"

"That's right, which turtle grandson said that this case is unreliable? If I want to say that again this time, I have to take his skin off."

"I'll bet Chen Nianjian on the top of the case this time, ten taels! Don't let anyone stop me."

...

The gamblers who missed the opportunity last time put a lot of money on Chen Nianjian this time.

Isn't that right, there are two cases in hand, and the chances of getting another case are very high!

"How is it? Zhang Er, are you going to bet on Chen Nianjian to get the first place this time?" Zeng Si looked at the people in the tea shop who were scrambling to bet on Chen Nianjian, and glanced at Zhang Erlang.

Zhang Erlang smiled, raised his cup and took a sip of tea, without saying a word.

Of course, don't press it.

So many people are optimistic about Chen Nianjian, the odds are small, and I'm afraid they won't win much money.

Thinking of the money he earned last time, Zhang Erlang couldn't help feeling disappointed, but this emotion didn't last long.

After all, it is rare to meet the same year of the scientific examination as Qiuwei, and someone like him who has passed the county examination and the government examination, as long as he passes the current college examination, he is eligible to participate in the township examination held by Xuezheng in August.

If you pass, you can be regarded as the luckiest type of candidates in the imperial examination.

Not to mention, if the scientific examination goes smoothly all the way, if he can pass the provincial examination, he will be able to take the general examination tomorrow, and then he will be the darling of the scientific examination with the shortest time, isn't he lucky?

Most people don't know how many years they have to study from the county examination to the hospital examination.

And if he misses the college exam this time, he will have to wait three years to take the township exam again.

Zhang Erlang couldn't afford to wait.

He promised Miss Chen that she would marry after Zhongju, and if she couldn't even pass the hospital examination, the wedding in September...

When Zhang Erlang thought about it like this, his heart was full of excitement.

Regardless of others, he would have to pass this college exam if he wanted to die.

Liu Qing, who was going back to the scientific research road, had the same mentality as him.

In the past few days, have been quietly at home, concentrating on studies in the room, and then when rest, come to Zhang Erlang to talk about the topic.

For the students in the academies who are going to take the scientific examination, the masters will give lectures on the questions individually before the examination, and teach the secrets of solving the unique problems. There will also be martial arts cheats from various academies, no, they are reference materials.

During the day, Liu Qing went to Wushan Academy to attend classes, and Zhang Erlang went to the inn where the students of Qingyun Academy stayed to attend lectures. When they came back at night, when they got together, um, they exchanged the bets of the masters in the academy, orIt is a problem-solving idea, which naturally benefits a lot.

Do you want to communicate with each other?Both of them smiled silently at each other.

Sometimes it also talks about the chances of passing the college exam.

There is a limit on the number of candidates admitted by each county every year in this hospital examination, not many, only about 20 candidates.

Count the children in the county who participated in the college examination this time, and calculate whether they can pass, and if they pass, they are estimated to be ranked.

Zhang Erlang didn't expect extravagantly, he just wanted to get in the middle, and then he wanted to squeeze into the top two in the year-old exam.

Because after being selected as a scholar, you have to take the annual examination to be eligible to participate in the rural examination.

Yijia is the one with the best grades, known as Linsheng, not only has the qualifications for scientific examinations, but also receives money and food distributed by the imperial court on a monthly basis.He is eligible to study at the Imperial College in Kyoto.

Erjia is called "Zengsheng". Although it will not receive the monthly regular silver and food from the imperial court, it will also receive a sum of silver.

Zhang Erlang's goal is to become a hypertrophy.

The same is true of Liu Qing.

After all, his studies have been interrupted for several years, and he has only resumed school for less than a year now, but if he can pass the examination of scholar, he naturally wants to fight for the qualification of the provincial examination.

When talking about the outstanding students of Wushan Academy, Liu Qing mentioned Jiang Yu, the case leader in Yulin County.

"I didn't know it before, but I only found out when I entered Wushan Academy. This Jiang Yu is not bad in knowledge, and he is also a member of the Jiang family in Prefecture City."

Zhang Erlang only met Jiang Yu once.

That was the time when Kuiliu went to Xidian, the students from Yulin County were present, and Jiang Yu also came.

Jiang family?

Although Zhang Erlang lost his memory, he learned quickly. He also heard a lot of important events in the court, especially the names of ministers and scholars related to scientific research.He filtered the information about the Jiang family in Prefecture City in his mind, and quickly remembered it.

Jiang's family, the family of Chaozhong Jiang's servant, the natal family of the concubine Xian in the palace, and the mother's family of the third prince in Beijing.

Zhang Erlang knocked on the desk and asked tentatively, "Then, master, what do you think of Jiang Yu's scientific examination this time?"

"The last government test was a failure, but this time, the chances of winning are sure."

Ah!

Zhang Erlang exhaled lightly.

This college test is not as good as the government test, but it can be regarded as the first step in selecting talents for the various ministries of the DPRK and China in the future.

As for the presiding Xuezheng Master Song, it is heard that he has just been transferred from Beijing to Chuzhou Prefecture.

Hmm, you can consider it and play a little game.

Zhang Erlang glanced at Liu Qing who was concentrating on reading the scroll, and that afternoon he left Liuhua Lane under the pretext of going to the inn to meet the seniors from Qingyun Academy, and when he came back, he looked relaxed.

The two continued to read the book without mentioning it, and soon, it was the day of the hospital examination.

After Zhang Erlang and Liu Qing bid farewell, they each found candidates for the exam in their own academies.

It is different from the government examination. During the college examination, the senior Xuezheng will go outside the examination room in person, roll call the students of the scientific examination and enter the venue. After entering the venue, a special clerk will conduct a full-body inspection.You will be taken to your assigned seat.

After the roll call is over, the examination room will be closed, and Xuezheng will return to the lobby of the examination room to write the test questions on the spot.

The main tests in the college examination are also stereotyped essays and test post poems. The stereotyped essays will be written in the four books, and the test post poems also require five characters and six rhymes.

And in addition, he had to silently write some chapters of the "Sacred Edicts and Guangxun" specified by Xuezheng-sama, usually about a hundred words.

After answering all the questions, the paper will be handed in two minutes after the application time in the afternoon.

There is a main test and a re-test in the college test.

The rankings are not released in the middle, and the two consecutive exams are over, and the case will not be reported until three days later.

Zhang Erlang, who had been out of the examination room for two days in a row, couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"Second Brother Zhang."

Leaving the examination room early, Liu Qing, who was standing with Chen Nianguan and his second aunt, waved to Zhang Erlang from afar.

When Zhang Erlang saw Chen Nianguan, he suddenly relaxed and strode towards them.

"How did Brother Zhang do in the exam?"

"I tried my best, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape as a scholar." Zhang Erlang glanced at Chen Nianguan and said to himself.

Liu Qing laughed.

That night, the two boys ate and drank well, and fell asleep early.

Hearing that Zhang Erlang said that he would definitely be admitted as a scholar, Chen Nianguan was naturally happy.

A Niang is looking forward to him becoming a scholar!

He said that he passed the exam, but the list of those who passed the exam has not been released. What he said is not counted. We should wait three days later to see if what he said is true!
