First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 778: Lao Zhu lost again

In the largest restaurant in Qufu City, the knives and spoons were rattling, and several chefs were busy. Today, everyone is full of energy and extra effort.

While he was talking, an old master with gray beard walked in with a smile.

This is the earliest and most powerful chef in the restaurant. It is said that this person was born in the Confucius Mansion and served Duke Yan Sheng. It was with his craftsmanship that he created the reputation of the restaurant. People who came from the south to the north all gave a thumbs up and praised him.

It's just in the last few years, when I've gotten a little older, I rarely cook in person, and no one expected that he would come.

"Father, let's just come, you are always pointing by the side and watching how we are doing!"

The old master didn't say anything, just silently brought over the stir-frying spoon.

Everyone knows that this is what the old man is going to do.

"Master, this is the menu they ordered."

The old man didn't even look at it, but said, "That's what you guys made. I'm here to give you a special dish... come out on top!"

Several disciples were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes widened. Our old man has some special dishes, such as roasted sea cucumbers and large intestines. Among them, this one is the best. Because of its good meaning and delicious taste, it is very popular.

Idle people can't eat it at all. For almost three years, I haven't seen the old man cook in person. At most, the apprentice does it for him.

Today is uncharacteristically, everyone can't help but be curious.

"Master, what good things have happened to you? Don't your son marry a wife?"

The old man glared at him, "What nonsense! Our grandsons are running all over the place!"

The old man sighed slightly, and then said with a smile: "You don't understand! In the past, I pondered that wealth and destiny are all the meaning of God. The Confucian sages, passed down from generation to generation, are more powerful than emperors... As a result, you all know that Yan Sheng The line of the Duke has been abolished. What a great prestige! Good courage! The emperors of the past are not as good as our majesty! The difference is too far!"

The old man continued: "I just came out of the Confucius Mansion, I cried a lot, I felt that I lost my dignity, and I had no way to live. Later, thanks to the owner's interest in my craftsmanship, this restaurant came into being. To be honest. , I earn more than before, my life is better than before, everyone respects me, no need to nod and bow, and be a slave to others."

"But, in the end, there are differences between rich and poor, and the difference between rich and poor... I didn't think about it that much, but a few days ago, that grandson of mine shouted that he would go to school in the future, and he would be admitted to Fudan Academy. Let's talk about it. , isn't this about changing the family? His grandfather is a cook, he still wants to go to school to become an official and become a prime minister?"

While talking, the old man cooks in a calm manner. The steps are smooth and smooth, and his skills are indeed extraordinary.

Several apprentices couldn't help laughing and said, "Father, don't tell me, your grandson has this ambition, maybe he can achieve it! Who said ordinary people can't get into a good school? If we pass the exam, can we still be kicked out?"

"Yes! That's right!"

The old master laughed loudly, "That's right, these young talents in Xiahe Village have set a good example for us. My old man's luck! This one is the best, I'll give it to them! After a few years, I will If my grandson can also pass the exam, I will set up a table with running water, please everyone to drink!"

In the back kitchen, there was laughter and laughter... Looking at the restaurant, dozens of students, plus Zhang Shuning, took up a total of seven tables.

They had just sat down, and after a while, the restaurant owner came over and brought two jars of fine wine.

"We all know, there is nothing else, it's a little bit of my heart, you all belong to this! It's amazing!" The owner extended his thumb.

"Eat slowly. If you have any orders, just tell me."

After the boss finished speaking, he turned around and retreated to the position of the stairs.

This is how he can do things. He stands not far or near, and does not delay the big guy talking. He looks up and looks for it, and he can still see it.

After Zhang Shuning thanked the Dong family, he immediately said, "Do you want to drink some wine?"

These little brats looked at each other and looked eager to try. More than half of them had never been drunk. Even if they had, it would be stealing the filthy wine from their father. They had never enjoyed this kind of fine wine.

"Sir, have you ever had a drink?"

Zhang Shuning nodded, "I used to drink it occasionally, and I learned it from a friend."

Don't ask, the bad friend who taught Zhang Shuning to drink is Zhu Di. He used to steal Zhu Yuanzhang's wine and ran to Zhang's house to encourage Zhang Shuning to drink with him.

But Zhu Di soon discovered that the so-called imperial wines in the palace were far inferior to those in Zhu Ying's house... Later, he heard that the wine in Zhu Ying's house was all that Zhang Ximeng despised, and the real good things were actually in Zhang's residence.

It's embarrassing now!

When Zhang Shuning was very early, he had seen good things that others may not have seen in their entire lives, such as fine wine, food, various exquisite utensils, books, calligraphy and paintings... But speaking of it, that's what happened, even if it was Wang Xizhi's words, Yan Liben's. Paintings are amazing and invaluable, but compared with the works of Emperor Hongwu who practiced calligraphy for the first time, as well as the offerings of Yuezhong Wugong handwritten by Zhang Xianggong, they seem to be a little thin, and they are not real treasures.

In a word, numb!

Zhang Shuning personally poured a bowl of wine for everyone. At this time, the dishes had already been delivered, including the extra one that came out on top!

"You little talents, this is the famous dish of our restaurant that our master Luan personally cooked and delivered. You can enjoy it slowly."

Zhang Shuning pondered for a while, he knew very well that this was the intention of the store owner, and he had to refuse, it was really unnecessary.

But he had something else to say.

"Among you, there are 18 people who have passed the exam and entered the Fudan Academy. This is your success. Not only you, but also the poor children all over the world. They are all inspired and have hope in their hearts. I think reading is a way out. Even this restaurant has sent their hearts, you can be happy, you can cheer, and you can be proud!"

"But...it's only for one day, no more. You still have a long way to go...you have to go to school, you have to learn, increase your skills, and make long-term plans for your life. I don't want to tell you what to do. If you want to become an official in the court, how big an official is, and how prominent you are. I just hope that no matter when you are, your spine will be straight. Upright and open. Da, for the country and the people; poor, worthy of Heart. Most importantly, never put yourself in a position of superiority. You don't deserve it! No one deserves it!"

"Come on, let's drink!"

Zhang Shuning took these students to celebrate the victory together. The students also engraved Mr.'s words in their hearts.

Soon their achievements spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Xiahezhai Middle School has also become a world-famous existence.

There are many people who come here especially, but after actually watching it, it makes people sigh.

This is an ordinary school, a dilapidated low wooden house, built by the sea. A small piece of flat land is where the students go to exercise.

If there is anything to be commended, it is about being away from the hustle and bustle.

But when people look at the timetables of the students and see how they read, they are deeply shocked.

It's really playing a game!

But is it worth it?

Of course it's worth it!

I passed the Fudan School entrance exam and entered the top school in Daming. Since then, my life has been smooth, honoring my ancestors...why don't you risk your life?

It's not that people can't bear hardships, nor can't they die. The only question is whether it's worth it!

You can't cry out wolfishness while being reluctant to give meat, only willing to take out a small plate of spoiled dog food...

Obviously being tricked, but still being a wolf, this is not a serious wolf!

It is worth mentioning that due to the success of Xiahe Village, the newspapers were full of articles and people flocked to them, which caused Zhang Shuning's book manuscripts to sell well.

This is not an ordinary hot, from top to bottom, almost everyone is buying.

Including officials and wealthy households in various places, they dare not miss it.

Many teachers in the school also bought a copy secretly and studied it by themselves.

There was no way, Zhang Shuning deciphered the method of the proposition in an unprecedented way. If they don't raise their armament levels as soon as possible, they will be cleared very quickly.

The faces of several top schools in the future will be gone.

But they are improving, and on the other side, a few little guys are secretly stepping up.

Hu Yan, Huang Guan, Jing Qing, and Xia Zhifeng in Beijing were all excited.

Although these people are young, almost all of them are geniuses and are proficient in exams. After learning with Zhang Ximeng for a while, the basics are good.

If you really deal with the teachers, these teachers may not be able to play with them.

Moreover, Hu Yan also looked for a few newcomers, including Yang Shiqi, and a little brat named Xie Jin. If there is no accident, after a few years, they will all be pulled into the pirate ship.

How popular is Zhang Shuning's book?

Let's just say, even Zhu Yuanzhang had a copy!

"Mr. Zhang, you really gave birth to a good son!" Lao Zhu gritted his teeth.

Zhang Ximeng rolled his eyelids, "It's just ordinary, nothing extraordinary!"

Lao Zhu snorted, "No wonder! His book sells better than ours!"

Zhang Ximeng was stunned, dare to love Lao Zhu cares about this!

"No, the master's book was ordered by each school and used directly as a teaching material. This book of his is still purchased voluntarily, and it is incomparable."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned even darker, "You mean, if it wasn't for compulsory ordering, we wouldn't be able to sell Shuning, right?"

Zhang Ximeng shook his head, UU reading www.uukanshu. com "I can't say the same, after all, the lord still has two unfinished works!"

At this time, Empress Ma next to her said, "Kenning's teaching aids can also be updated every year! Speaking of which, it has a lot more potential than His Majesty's book!"

This sentence directly confuses Zhu Yuanzhang.

Without such a bully, it's fine if we can't compete with Mr. Zhang, how come we can't even compete with Mr. Zhang?

And let no one live?

But there is one thing that makes Lao Zhu a little more relieved. With just one volume of books, he has already received 150,000 manuscripts, and more will follow...
