While Zhang Erlang was attending the Luming Banquet, Chen Nianguan was very busy at the Tangshui shop.

Since the introduction of free sugar water, many old and new customers who heard about it flocked to the sugar water shop to receive free food.

Especially those ordinary people who have heard that Tangshui shop is the cheapest at 20 cents a piece of drink, and are not willing to spend money, want to come in and try something new, even if they can’t eat Guiling jelly or double skin milk, it’s good to drink a glass of drink, That also earned 20 Wen.

So there were people at the door of the Tangshui shop.

Chen Nianguan had to call the Four Great Beasts to help.

Now the business of the ice shop is considered to be completely closed. If there were not some customers who were in urgent need of ice, there would be no need for the cold ice shop to open, so the ice cellar was closed.

Usually, you only need to go to the ice cellar every now and then to have a look and maintain it.

It will only reopen in May next year.

I heard that the next job is to wait until the dog days of winter to cut ice in the frozen river. The four beasts looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Boss, don't we have the fairy powder? Anyway, we have nothing else to do today, and we are idle. If we usually use the fairy powder to freeze enough ice, we still have to wait until the nine-hour dayGo digging for ice?"

Yes!

Chen Nianguan found out that his blind spot in thinking was not as smart as the four beasts!

What Plan-A, Plan-B, only one plan is needed all the time, okay?

From September to May of the next year, there are seven or eight full months, and there is plenty of time left for the four beasts to make frozen ice. Do we need to wait until the dog days to go to the river to saw and cut ice so hard?

Chen Nianguan praised the four beasts: "That's right, that's right."

Therefore, in the next few days, the four beasts only need to go to the river to carry two or three cars of river water without money and silver. When they come back and send it to the ice cellar, they can use the low temperature inside to freeze the ice, and there is no need to send out godspink.

Seeing that the sugar shop was too busy today, Chen Nianguan asked them to come over temporarily to help.

They don’t eat less sugar water from the sugar shop. The back kitchen of the sugar shop is separated from the ice shop by a wall and a door. When they stay in the shop, they are hungry for something to eat, so they come over to have a drink.Chen Nianguan never stopped him.

Now that the Tangshui shop can use them, it is natural that they will come here.

Chen Nianguan saw that there was Liu Yang in the store, and four more people helped to maintain the normal order. He was relieved, and most of the drinks sent out were newly launched corn juice and hot drinks.

Now that the weather is getting colder, most of the products in the store have been replaced with freshly brewed syrup. Even the cold sesame paste is hot. Others, such as white fungus pear soup, lily shredded coconut soup, Ginkgo Mung Bean Soup, Huaishan Sweet Potato Soup, etc., are all foods that moisturize dryness, dispel cold and warm the stomach.

Therefore, the diners who accumulated in the summer did not intend to continue to patronize them when they saw the fall, but they saw that the hot drinks replaced the cold drinks, and the sugar water still had many varieties and excellent taste, so they were happy to continue to come to the sugar water shop to pass the time.

After all, Nianyun Tangshui Shop is now a well-known dessert shop in Prefecture City. It has not only become a fashion to patronize here, but also a symbol of the social status of the upper class in Prefecture City. Not only many wives and ladies regard Tangshui Shop as a meeting place,There are also many gentlemen who like to come here for socializing and recreation.

And Chen Nianguan naturally wants to use seasonal and unique sweet water to continue to attract these lovely customers.

So today, she plans to launch another special product for Tangshui Shop, ginger bump milk.

When the Liu family asked Uncle Liu to grow ginger in the land he bought, Chen Nianguan thought that when the time came, he would launch this ginger milk in the sugar shop.

Peel off the skin of the fresh ginger you bought, then cut it into small pieces, put it in a stone mill, grind it and grind it,

Collect the crushed ginger juice and the remaining residue, wrap it in a clean cotton cloth to squeeze out the remaining ginger juice, and filter it several times until you get pure ginger juice, set aside,

It should be noted that fresh ginger must be used, the juice yield will be higher than that of old ginger, the spiciness is moderate, and the ginger juice is more sweet.

Take fresh milk, pour it into a pot, and heat it over medium heat. If you like it sweeter, you can also add some sugar in the process, and then cook while stirring until the milk in the pot is full of foam.,

Put the milk pot aside, divide the previous ginger juice into bowls, and then shake it slightly,

Shake the milk in the same way, then lift it up, pour the hot milk into the ginger juice, cover the bowl,

How many bowls of ginger juice are there, as many bowls as the above steps, cover the bowls,

In this way, after about half a quarter of an hour, a bowl of ginger milk is ready. When the lid is lifted, you can see the ginger milk that is solidified inside as bright as a mirror, and sprinkle some sesame, red beans or sweet-scented osmanthus for decoration, you can take it out to the customer who placed the order.

When came to the store today, the first ones to try the new ginger milk were Mrs. Jiang and the two Mrs. Jiang.

As soon as the three bowls of ginger and milk are uncovered, the rich milk fragrance is tangy and hot.

Take a spoonful and put it in your mouth. The first thing you taste is the smooth, sweet and tender milk, which melts in your mouth, and then the ginger taste permeated in the milk melts into the tip of the tongue.Come on, as the swallow spreads from the throat all the way to the stomach, the whole body heats up.

Not to mention in the cool autumn, even in the severe winter, a bowl of ginger milk can immediately dispel the chill and refresh people, so Chen Nianguan named it Dongriyao.

Mrs. Jiang has been tempered by the previous scallop sauce, and she is no longer afraid of spiciness, let alone the spiciness of ginger juice. After eating ginger milk, she likes it very much. She ordered another bowl and saidI want to take it back to Master Jiang to try something new, and at the end I asked: "How do you make this bowl of winter roast?"

Chen Nianguan, who personally entertained them, said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Jiang, the family secret recipe must not be disclosed."

If possible, Chen Nianguan would also like to call Jiang Zhuangnai Jiang Zhuangnai directly, and imagined that in his previous life, he would put the bowl of ginger juice in front of Mrs. Jiang, and use boiled milk to perform in public.Process in ginger juice.

But hey, this is the pillar product of Nianyun Tangshui shop after autumn. It is called Jiang Zhuang milk, which will make it easier for people in the industry to see through the ingredients of this delicacy, and the public performance will expose the production process of Jiang Zhuang milk. Therefore, ChenNian Wan had to give up her plan to make Jiang Zhuang Nai in public, and had to change the name of Jiang Zhuang Nai to Dong Ri Shao.

She dare not underestimate the wisdom of the working people in this dynasty, so she can only come up with this plan!

The winter yakiniku was launched, and it was undoubtedly supported by the wives and girls who came to the sugar shop to help, and it was very popular.

After Mrs. Jiang brought the Dongri Yaki back to Jiangfu, it had been left for a while, and when Mr. Jiang tasted it, it had already cooled down. Mr. Jiang expressed regret, so the next day, he brought his colleagues to the Tangshui shop for another serving.

At this moment, Chen Nianguan has already planned to make a fuss about the spiciness, and divides ginger milk into slightly spicy, medium spicy and high spicy.

Mr. Jiang said, with the baptism of the former spicy scallop sauce, the spiciness of this mere dessert can hardly defeat him?So ordered high spicy!

Then, a bowl of spicy ginger and milk was eaten, which was very enjoyable at first, after all, it was solid milk as silky as egg custard!What he didn't expect was that soon, the hotness started to burn from his throat to his stomach, so hot that he almost didn't take off his clothes on the spot, and was dripping with sweat.

After the spiciness was over, Mr. Jiang felt exhausted, and then felt comfortable all over his body. He imagined that if it was winter, such a bowl of winter roast would be more sour and refreshing, so he usually changed the slightly spicy taste, but he was secretly planning to wait until winter.After a while, I'm going to Tangshui shop to try the spicy winter yakiniku again.

Try the feeling of burning the whole body.

And the high-spicy winter roast was so powerful that it spread like wildfire, and even inspired a wave of gentlemen to compete to see who could stand the hottest bowl of winter roast in the Tangshui shop.

Chen Nianguan did not expect that with his own actions, he would let the gentlemen develop such a game, which constantly attracts competitive young men to come to the Tangshui shop to order high-spicy winter yakiniku, proving that he is a man who is not afraid of spicy food.

Well, what else can do, naturally to satisfy them!

Don't you earn the money delivered to your door?

Chen Nianguan even specially picked out those old gingers for this kind of winter roast, because ginger is still old and spicy!

After Zhang Erlang attended the Luming Banquet, he was going back to the county seat.

Chen Nianguan handed over the Tangshui shop to Liu Yang, and the four beasts also decided to go back to Liujia Village, just as they all went back to the county together.

This time they went back, no less than returning home.

As soon as the main store of Chenjia Pho was informed of the good news, it immediately posted a notice under the instruction of Chen Nianguan. The Pho store has a big reward for three consecutive days. The first 20 customers who come to the store will not be charged money, but anyone who comes to the store to helpDiners will send a piece of fish curd to congratulate the boss's future husband, Mr. Zhang, on his high school promotion.

Yanlai Lane was also a sensation.

It's not that there are no families in the alley who go to school, but there are few, and there are even fewer who are famous for their studies. Now they have seen a great man, who came to see Zhang Erlang with gifts of light or heavy.The threshold of the house was almost broken.

Some well-informed business gentry, big households, students and scholars all came to visit. Zhang Erlang, who was not eye-catching from the county examination to the hospital examination, instantly became a big shot in Yanlai Lane.

And who also became famous in one fell swoop, apart from Zeng Si, the most eye-catching one is Chen Nianjian.

The fifth place in Jingkui is already the best ranking among the candidates in Funing County in this year's provincial examination, not to mention that this is a boy who is only fifteen years old.

Chen Nianjian was well-known in the entire county, and the Chen family was overjoyed for this, and held a banquet for Chen Nianjian to entertain many big and famous people in the county.

Now Chen Feng, who has been promoted to be the master of Juren's father, is smiling.

My son has become a juren, and it is like a dream.

Listen to these neighbors who are usually mean and disdainful to me, rushing to congratulate my son, not forgetting to say hello to me politely, and those big people who can't reach me on tiptoe, how to treat me like this?His son has a pleasant face, and he has given so many gifts of money and silver. He is really, really satisfied.

In the future, brother Jian of our family will still be admitted to the Jinshi examination and become a high official. At that time, will there be more people who want to worship him?

When Chen Feng couldn't help but think about it, the County Magistrate Huang who appointed Chen Nianjian as the head of the county trial case was also present. He was quite confident in his decision to appoint Chen Nianjian.For the sake of this son's official career, don't make any mistakes.

Chen Feng tasted the sweetness, and he kept saying yes. If he really followed the rules for a long time, he was afraid that one accident would ruin his son and his dream of Huang Liang.

In addition to Chen Nianjian's celebration banquet, County Magistrate Huang also went to three other banquets like this in a row.

Candidates who went to Fucheng to participate in the rural examination this year got one candidate in the county test, but Qingyun Academy produced three candidates in one breath, and their status in the hearts of the students has also increased.

Naturally, the three newly-promoted masters also expressed their gratitude to the masters of Qingyun Academy and Master Fan Shan.

Elder Fan Shan was consoling, and looked at Zhang Erlang, who was really unexpected at the end, and smiled slightly, because he will be Zhang Erlang's father, and preside over the wedding of this proud student.

That's right, Chen Nianguan and Zhang Erlang's wedding date, September 12th, is just around the corner.

On this side, the Liu family has already made all the preparations for the eldest daughter's marriage, and on the other side, Zhang Erlang's steward Qi Mu has also properly arranged the wedding affairs in the absence of the master's family.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the auspicious day.

The bride-to-be stayed at home these few days, listening to Liu's arrangements.

The Liu family also invited a bridesmaid to put the dowry in the house.

Because the daughter married next door, Zhang Erlang was not around on weekdays, and the Liu family helped to take care of the house, so naturally he knew what was lacking in it, so it would be better to buy some real dowry furniture for the daughter.

The furniture bought here is like that of rich and noble families. If you use high-quality sandalwood and pear wood, it is expensive. Now that the Liu family has a lot of money, they don't feel bad when spending money.

Clothes and brocade quilts are also carefully selected, and they are directly made of the most expensive cloth from the largest cloth workshop in the county. know that most of daughters usually wear Langjun’s clothes.The color is low-key, but the quality is selected to be the best. It will definitely be very comfortable for daughter to wear in the future.

As for the daughter's headgear, silk and satin, as early as when she got rich, the Liu family bought her a little bit, and now she has saved up four big boxes and cages.

In the end, it was Liu who gave another five hundred taels of silver to the eldest daughter.

"Aunt, how much do you give?"

"Where are there too many?" Liu Shi glanced at the eldest daughter, saw her tongue stuck out, couldn't help but pat her, then smiled, and gently stroked her head instead.

How could Mrs. Liu not know that now the eldest daughter should have a net worth of ten thousand, the five hundred taels should not be worth mentioning.

But she still felt that she gave more.

How can there be more?

No matter how much she gave, it was not as much as what her daughter gave her as a mother.

Of course Chen Nianguan knew that A Niang's five hundred taels was nothing compared to his own two million guan, but A Niang also had an account in her mind of how much money A Niang had with Xuan Xuan.

Although they have opened so many shops, in fact, they are the ones who take the majority of the shares, and the silver taels they get are far less than their own.

Mrs. Liu bought so much dowry for herself, and never asked herself to take a penny, and then gave him five hundred taels of silver in the box. The silver saved by Mrs. Liu this year should have been spent.

Therefore, five hundred taels was all of Liu's net worth, but Liu was not reluctant and gave it all to herself.

"Mother!" Chen Nianguan's eyes turned red in an instant, and he clasped Liu Shi's arm tightly with both hands.

This is her aunt!

"Hey!" Mrs. Liu smiled, like coaxing a child, talking to Chen Nianguan about things to pay attention to after getting married, completely forgetting that Zhang Erlang had no relatives, no parents above him, and his daughter married.In the past, she didn't have to serve her parents-in-law. She used her years of experience to teach her how to be a daughter-in-law.

Chen Nianguan listened patiently, nodding from time to time.

And the next day, Qimu also came over to communicate with Liu about the arrangements for the wedding day. Because the two houses are adjacent to each other, it would be convenient to get married.Come to the end of the alley, and then carry it into Zhang's house, then the dowry will go out from the gate of Chen's house and enter from the gate of Zhang's house.

After the two families settled the details, Qi Mu returned to Zhang's house.

After leaving the door of Chen's house, he saw a steward leaving Zhang's house with a panicked expression on his face, and Qi Mu entered the house suspiciously.

Because it was her favorite student's big wedding, Mrs. Fan specially sent a few servants over to help with the instruction of Master Fan Shan. Zhang's house is now decorated with lanterns and festoons, and it is full of joy.

Qi Mu asked the boy who was in charge of welcoming and transporting him, and found out that it was the manager of a peddler in the county who came to give gifts to his master Juren, and it was nothing special, so he didn't take it to heart.

The steward left Yanlai Lane, returned to the Zhou Mansion, and hurriedly went to see his master.

"Master, it's not good!"

"What's wrong?" Master Zhou was standing on the porch, teasing Huang Ying'er in the cage, and the steward yelled, dissatisfied, "I just asked you to give a present... just something happened.gone?"

The steward was still full of uneasiness, swallowed a big mouthful of saliva and said: "Servant, servant just came back from Zhang Ju's house in Yanlai Lane to give gifts."

"As soon as the gift is delivered!"

"No..." The steward hesitated to speak, but finally bit the bullet and said, "Master, that, Mr. Zhang, we, we all know each other."

"Of course I know each other. In this year's provincial examination, there are only four Juren in Funing County. Who doesn't mention their names?" Master Zhou counted his fingers and said, "Chen Juren, Zeng Juren, Zhang Juren, and Ling Juren."

"Zhang Juren?" The steward raised Master Zhou's finger representing Master Zhang again with trembling hands: "Zhang Juren, his name is Zhang Yulang."

"What's the matter called Zhang Yulang?" Master Zhou sneered, thinking about it wrong, the name seemed quite familiar, he repeated "Zhang Yulang" once, and then remembered, he shook as if he was startled, and looked at the steward in a daze, "You, you say, Zhang Yulang?"

The steward nodded.

"That Zhang Yulang?"

The steward nodded again.

Master Zhou was so frightened that he took two steps back, it was bad, it was actually that Zhang Yulang!He actually passed the exam?

That hard-fated one, even the whole village died, he didn't die, he thought he died in poverty somewhere, but he didn't expect to blink, he was promising!

Didn't it mean that Mr. Zhang is a disciple of Fan Shanchang?

Where did he have the ability to make Fan Shanchang fancy?Where can get the money to take the exam?

Master Zhou almost didn't grit his teeth, walking around on the corridor like ants in a hot pot.

The marriage between his daughter and Zhang Yulang was indeed called off!

The marriage with Zhang Yulang was decided because his family was in decline at that time, and he was a person with a different surname in Haijiao Village, so he wanted to make a marriage with the local family and make a good relationship.The wharf learns to be a businessman, and wants to make money for his wife and girls to eat well and live well. With such a fortune, the more money he saves, the more he buys real estate and shops in the county, and his life gets better and better.

Looking at the Zhang family again, it is still an ordinary farmer in Haijiao Village. Zhang Yulang has been in poor health since he was a child. He is often bedridden and has not seen anyone for years.Not light!

Zhang Yulang is a sickly person, and the Zhang family can't get up. He doesn't want his daughter to marry and suffer. When he told Zhang's father, he unexpectedly agreed.

Therefore, the dissolution of the marriage was also approved by the parents of both parties, so it can't be blamed on him, right?

Unexpectedly, last year, Zhang Yulang would come to recognize his relatives.

How could he want to?

Even before the accident in Haijiao Village, he didn't want to marry his daughter, let alone Zhang Yulang has no relatives now, he is poor and white.

So he kicked Zhang Yulang out of the shop at that time.

He did the right thing in this matter!

The engagement was broken, and he has nothing to do with Zhang Yulang, so why should he take him in?

Master Zhou thought about it for a long time, worried, and asked again: "That Zhang Yulang, ah no, that Zhang Juren, when will the banquet be held?"

The steward was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was referring to the banquet to celebrate Zhongju, and shook his head, "Zhang Juren doesn't hold a banquet. Because in two days, it will be his big wedding day."

"Married?" Master Zhou was stunned, "Whose wife is he married to?"

"It's the girl from Mrs. Chen's family from the Pho shop."

Master Zhou heaved a sigh of relief, wiped off his cold sweat, and then felt a little melancholy.

Hey, I can't tell, that Zhang Yulang is really capable, if he had known...

Master Zhou suddenly regretted it.

No matter how good he is, he is still a merchant and lacks confidence. If he was still married back then and married the master Juren, would his waist be straight?

Now that this marriage is gone, I'm afraid I will become enemies with Zhang Juren.

When seeing Zhang and Chen in the future, it is best to stay away from them.

Afterwards, Master Zhou's precious daughter found out about it!

The one who has a marriage contract with Zhang Yulang is Master Zhou's only daughter, Zhou Wenyao.

Knowing that Zhang Yulang was the one with whom she had a marriage contract, and that the one who is about to marry Zhang Yulang is Miss Chen Si from the Pho Shop, Zhou Wenyao suddenly had a pair of lovers in her heart.

She is a frequent customer of the pho shop. Since the pho shop opened, she was recommended by her close friend to try the food in the shop, and has been visiting from time to time since then.

Since go there often, of course have seen Miss Chen Si and Mr. Zhang.

The two had a marriage contract. She heard about it from the clerks who worked in the store early in the morning. They boasted that Mr. Zhang was a student of Fan Shanzhang of Qingyun Academy.She had heard all these things about him.

Mr. Zhang would come to the rice noodle shop to look for Ms. Chen Si when he was taking a bath in the academy.

Mr. Zhang is imposing and handsome. When he comes to the store, the ladies who patronize him will subconsciously glance at him. It's a pity that he has a concubine relationship with Miss Chen Si, and he can't tolerate other ladies in his eyes.How many ladies feel sad.

Zhou Wenyao also thought that if Mr. Zhang had no marriage contract, she might become a good choice for many wives to choose a son-in-law, and she might ask Father to try it, but she never thought that this gentleman,It turned out that she had already had such a marriage relationship with herself.

Knowing that her former fiancé-in-law was about to get married in high school, Zhou Wenyao felt an unprecedented loss in her heart.

if……

Zhou Wenyao tried her best to stop herself from hypothesizing.

No matter how good that young master is, in a few days, he will be the husband of someone else's family. can't think about it.

That night, Zhou Wenyao wept and wet the jade quilt.

The next day, they sent someone to send a generous congratulatory gift to Zhang's house, congratulating Mr. Zhang on his happy wife.
