When leaving, Chen Mo took away two kilograms of beef and a jar of wine. Later, he went to the city gate and gave it to Xu Liqiu who was on duty.
The first is to repay the kindness, and the second is to close the relationship.
Now that the Tan Store has officially opened, we will frequently go in and out of the city in the future. If we can develop a person of our own, things will be much easier.
In addition, he also bought two sesame seed cakes stuffed with meat and carried them back to Qin Xianglian in his arms.
After eating two meals of meat in a row, Chen Mo discovered that it was not because she had been away from meat for a long time that she moved her index fingers, but because she was born with a liking for meat.
However, his family is poor, so he can only endure it.
So what Chen Mo has to do is to satisfy Qin Xianglian's unspeakable wish.
In a word, there will be enough meat in the future.
It's like this during the day, and at night...
Ahem, same thing!
Looking at the things in his hands and thinking about his empty wallet, Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh.
“I really can’t help spending money.”
In the ten days before and after the county examination, Chen Mo earned a total of seventeen taels of silver. It is no exaggeration to say that it was as much as the income of the lower class people in two or three years.
But the expenses were too great, and now half of the money was gone, and that didn't count the hiring of laborers and the purchase of those ten loads of charcoal.
Fortunately, there is Huameishu who can tell Mrs. Wang everything. Otherwise, if I want to get on the right track, I don’t know how many setbacks and hardships I have to go through.
At the very least, Wang Fuxing is not so easy to dismiss.
He suffered a big loss this time when the charcoal store opened, and he will definitely come back with even greater revenge. He must find a way to solve it once and for all.
After all, there is a person who can be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo couldn't help but murmur.
It's been several days since I finished the policy exam, why haven't the academy and the county government responded yet?
Even if the examiners don't care about their own answers, they still have to show the results to other candidates, right?
…
"Dad, it's been a few days since the county examination ended. When will the results be released?"
In the palace, Wang Tan'er poured a glass of wine for Wang Anshi.
"It will be released tomorrow." Wang Anshi drank the cup.
"Drink slowly, the stone chicken is still on the way." Wang Tan'er poured the wine and asked smoothly, "Dad is in a good mood today. Could it be that he discovered a malleable talent in the county examination?"
"Yes and no." Wang Anshi nodded first, then shook his head.
"Daughter, please ask for advice." Wang Taner sat down.
"There is indeed a man who can be called a great talent, but..." Wang Anshi frowned mid-sentence.
"Dad is talking about Chen Mo again, right?" Wang Tan'er guessed and asked, "In the two subjects of policy and theory, is he acting out of common sense again?"
"No." Wang Anshi shook his head and looked more serious, "Not only did he not fool around, he also took the exam seriously. As for the answer..."
"What's wrong?" Wang Tan'er asked.
"The answer given by Chen Mo is like rain to save the world for the people of our country, but for some people, it is poison that penetrates the intestines."
At this moment, Wang Anshi recalled the test paper and still felt excited and enlightened.
Compared with the Green Crops Law he plans to implement, it is not only more far-sighted, but also more beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood.
Once implemented on a large scale, it will surely lead to a new phenomenon that will change the world.
However, the disadvantages are also obvious. When it comes to the interests of the powerful, it will definitely be difficult.
But in the past and present, which implementation of the New Deal has been easy?
The key lies in determination and execution.
"Dad, can you tell your daughter?"
Wang Tan'er was really curious about what Chen Mo had done.
"The policy discussion involves the big plans of the family and the country. Tan'er, you better not ask any more questions. In short, Chen Mo should never escape from his father's hands." Wang Anshi clenched his fists.
"Dad, what you mean is, as he said that day, to help Chen Mo pursue fame?" Wang Tan'er changed the subject.
"Help, and we must help to the end." Wang Anshi nodded fiercely, "Tan'er doesn't know something. If the strategy given by Chen Mo can be extended to the world, it will definitely create an unprecedented prosperous age. Therefore, my father must lead him back.
On the right path, use all means to help him go higher and further."
"..."
Wang Tan'er said nothing, but became more and more concerned about the answer to the policy discussion.
Chen Mo is the first person who can make his father give such an evaluation.
"Master, Miss, the authentic Lushan Stone Chicken is here."
At this time, Butler Hu came in carrying a food box.
"Uncle Huber is joking again, where can the authentic hometown food come from here?"
Xiaocui took the food box in disbelief, opened it and was a little stunned, then hurriedly brought the chicken to the table.
"Master, miss, look at it, it really looks a bit authentic. No, this smell... is obviously unique to our hometown."
"Daddy, try it quickly." Wang Tan'er quickly picked up a piece.
"Okay, it's very authentic, and Tan'er is also a good product." After chewing it in his mouth, Wang Anshi praised it loudly.
"Uncle Huber, which restaurant made this?" After tasting it, Wang Taner turned her head and asked.
"It's Zuixiangzhai." Butler Hu said with a smile.
"It's impossible. It's not like we've never tasted Zuixiangzhai's stone chicken. It tastes like home at most 20-30%. It's absolutely impossible." Xiao Cuier questioned.
Seeing that Wang Anshi and Wang Tan'er were also suspicious, Butler Hu said calmly: "It is indeed from Zuixiangzhai, but the cook has changed, and he is still a person we all know."
"who?"
Wang Anshi and Wang Tan'er looked at each other, full of confusion.
On the contrary, Xiao Cui suddenly lost her voice.
"Uncle Hu, it seems that the only person we all know is the one named Chen Mo, right?"
"Yes, that's him." Butler Hu nodded.
ah?
Wang Anshi, Wang Tan'er and Xiao Cui were all shocked.
As a last resort, Butler Hu could only recount the situation at that time.
"This Chen Mo is simply hopeless." Wang An angrily clapped his chopsticks, "Chopping firewood, burning charcoal, visiting brothels, and willing to work as a cook. As long as he doesn't study, he can do anything."
"Dad, calm down, don't get angry." Wang Tan'er didn't know how to persuade her.
Wang Anshi had just said that Chen Mo had great talents and was determined to help, but then he went to work as a cook in a restaurant. No one could stand it.
"Tui'er thinks that Chen Mo is just out of his mind." Xiao Cui'er whispered.
"Sir, I think I may have misunderstood Chen Mo."
Seeing Wang Anshi getting angry, Butler Hu quickly changed his title.
"Uncle Hu, is there something hidden in this?" Wang Tan'er asked.
"I don't know the secret, I can only tell you what I saw with my own eyes." Butler Hu said sternly, "My lord, Miss, do you know what Chen Mo was eating at that time?"
"What?" Wang Tan'er asked.
“A bowl of plain noodles.”
"He brought the blame on himself. He threw all his money in the brothel and deserved to be hungry." Wang Anshi cursed, hating that iron is not as good as steel.
"Uncle Hu, go on." Wang Tan'er came to the rescue.
"Yes, Miss." Butler Hu responded and continued, "At that time, the old slave asked a lot, is the lunch meal so simple?"
"Uncle Hu, what did Chen Mo say?" Xiao Cui couldn't help but ask.
"He said...a bowl of noodles is what the people want."
As soon as Butler Hu finished speaking, the sound of pindrops could be heard in the room.
Wang Anshi fell into deep thought without saying a word, and the veins in his hands were bulging.
Wang Tan'er put down her chopsticks, feeling so sad that she no longer had any appetite.
The table is full of sumptuous meals, and every dish seems to be full of irony.
