Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On this day, three men, one old and two young, came to the door of the Dongcheng District University Scholar's Mansion. They all had faint smiles on their faces and exchanged a few words from time to time.  "Zimo, Baiyi, this is the Bachelor's Mansion. I have already asked the emperor for instructions. From now on, you will all be civil servants in the Bachelor's Mansion, responsible for sorting out the literature accumulated by the previous dynasty and some outstanding folk works."  The old man turned around and said to the two young men.  The three of them are of course Yu Zimo, Lu Zhi and Mu Baiyi.  The day after Yang Mansion came back from pleading guilty, Lu Zhi sent someone to ask Yu Zimo to go to the Bachelor's Mansion with him.  As for Mu Baiyi, it was only after they met on the way here that they found out they were invited by Lu Zhi together.  Looking at the building in front, which was not very grand but filled with the smell of books, Yu Zimo was a little curious as to whether it was similar to the current library.  The three of them walked in together, and what they saw were several statues of unknown people. But Mu Baiyi's face straightened when he saw this, and he stepped forward and bowed, making Yu Zimo feel awkward at the side.  "Hey, Zimo, why don't you be polite when you see the statue of the Third Master?" Lu Zhi frowned slightly, and his words were a bit unhappy.  "Uh, this I cultivate knowledge that is different from yours. I don't respect my predecessors, I only respect the previous articles, I don't cultivate articles, I only cultivate myself." In a hurry, even Yu Zimo himself didn't know what to say.  I didn't know what I was looking for, I just picked out as many literary things as I could and threw them out.  "It's interesting, it's interesting." Lu Zhi thought for a while with a strange expression on his face, nodded and murmured a few words, then took the lead and walked inside.  "You can get away with this, I'm a fucking genius." Yu Zimo glanced at Mu Baiyi, who also had a weird look on his face, chuckled, and followed him in.  Beyond the statue of Master, there was a very clean courtyard. At this time, there were three or five middle-aged men wearing high hats drying books in the sun. When they saw Lu Zhi coming in, they nodded respectfully and then  Keep doing your own thing.  From time to time, there were several arguments coming from the distant pavilion. Yu Zimo turned around and saw two old men with white hair and beards playing chess.  "They are like this all day long, don't worry about him." Lu Zhi saw Yu Zimo's eyes, chuckled, and stepped into the ancient building ahead.  Yu Zimo and Mu Baiyi looked up. The two golden characters "Book Pavilion" were shining brightly on the plaque. The whole building was only three stories high, but it was the most antique place in the whole courtyard. The two looked at each other.  After a wink, they walked in together.  As soon as he entered the book pavilion, he saw rows of bookshelves filled with neat books. Some were even tattered, but they were still collected. Mu Baiyi's eyes lit up when he saw this, as if he had fallen into a treasure.  He had never seen so many books before. Sometimes he worked for others for a long time, just because he wanted to enter their study room to take a look. From now on, he finally no longer has to worry about these.  But Yu Zimo didn't feel anything at all, and the corners of his mouth curled up in depression. This library is too small. It's nice to call it the Royal Library. The little fat guy is not a human anymore. More money should be spent on this.  With proper renovation, it will be more grand and can highlight the royal aura.  "This is where you usually work. The Bachelor's Office is relatively laid-back. There are no explicit regulations on what it must be like. You don't have to stay here on weekdays. You can go out and run more. Sometimes, good articles are still among the people.  ." Lu Zhi came out of nowhere and touched the bookshelf tenderly. His feelings for this place were evident.  "Master Lu, can we read the books here at will?" Mu Baiyi asked with excitement on his face. This question was more important to him than entering the bachelor's palace.  "Of course, as long as you don't damage the books, you have to take these books out to dry in the sun on weekdays to prevent them from getting damp." "That's great." Mu Baiyi shouted excitedly, while Lu Zhi shook his head and smiled.  , only Yu Zimo stood aside and looked at the two of them boredly.  "Okay, you guys should get to know each other first. I still have something to do." After Lu Zhi said that, he walked out. When Mu Baiyi saw this, he plunged into the bookshelf and stopped caring about the outside world.  Yu Zimo first turned around a few times in boredom, and then he also selected the historical books of this Que Dynasty and started reading.  When it was almost evening, Yu Zimo closed the book, looked at the sky, stood up and stretched, went over to say hello to Mu Baiyi, and then walked out of the door. At this time, the sun was shining in the yard.  The books had already been taken away, and several men in Confucian uniforms, chatting and laughing from time to time, were walking out of the gate.  Yu Zimo went out and got on the carriage, heading towards the money-making area. There was an important thing waiting for him tonight.  When we arrived at the money-attracting area, the carriage did not drive towards the Shangri-La Hotel, but to the one closest to Yeyan Lake.Looking at a group of buildings, he ran straight towards a building with a big red cloth hanging in front of the door. He didn't know what was hidden in the red cloth.  After the carriage stopped, Yu Zimo walked down, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction. This was the store that was stolen from the little fat man that day. Judging from the area, it was indeed larger than the current Shangri-La.  It is much larger, and after this period of renovation, the entire appearance has been completely renewed. In terms of appearance, it is not inferior to the nearby brothels.  When you walk into the store, the first thing you see are wooden tables. However, compared with the tables in other stores, this one looks much weirder. There is a big hole in the middle of each table. If not all the wood is  New ones, others thought they were just broken tables.  Long Yang and Zhang Shaohua were not far away, instructing the waiters to move the red-hot coal stoves under the table and align them with the holes above. Their behavior was quite strange.  "Your Majesty, they have arrived and are in the box upstairs." When Long Yang saw Yu Zimo appear, he immediately walked over and said softly.  "You and Shaohua will accompany you later, and the rest" "We have something to do tonight." The two of them said almost in unison, especially Zhang Shaohua, whose face turned ugly when he heard the word "accompanying"  It's worse than eating bitter melon.  In his mind, he clearly remembered the last time he had dinner with Yu Zimo, the Emperor and the Queen Mother. Damn it, that was not just a meal, it was life-threatening.  "I'm not lying to you, it's really something." Seeing Yu Zimo's frown, Long Yang quickly explained: "Didn't the seafood from Linyun just arrive, so there is a special dish in the hotel tonight, sea cucumber?  Steamed eggs, this is the menu you made yourself. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can go to the hotel and have a look. " "I also have business to do. I just finished making various types of toothbrushes and planned to hold a special show at the hotel in the evening, so I had to miss the appointment.  Oh, I really want to be with you." Seeing Yu Zimo turn his head to him again, Zhang Shaohua quickly explained the reason, with a particularly disappointed expression on his face.  "Damn it, these two little grandsons just want to run away. Each reason is more important than the last. Yu Zimo glanced at the two of them with disdain, shook his head and walked upstairs.  Long Yang and Zhang Shaohua looked at each other, with a hint of success flashing in their eyes.  The moment Yu Zimo walked into the box, everyone's eyes turned to him with different expressions in their eyes.  Yu Zimo took a moment to take a look and saw that the little fat man, the Queen Mother, King Xuan, Que Sheng and other people he invited had all arrived. However, the arrival of two other people was beyond his expectation.  Among them, the one looking at him with a smile but not a smile was Yang Ye, whom he had just met yesterday. As for the other person, Yu Zimo had also seen him once, but he saw him during a sacrifice outside Baiyun City.  He stepped forward to say hello to everyone. When his eyes moved to a handsome but slightly feminine middle-aged man, Yu Zimo pretended to be confused and asked: "I wonder who this rich and powerful guest is?" "  Haha, this is King Qi, this is probably the first time Mr. Qingyi has seen him." King Xuan introduced him to Yu Zimo with a smile.  "I have taken the liberty to come here. I hope you won't blame me. The Shangri-La Hotel is very popular. I have long wanted to meet you, but it is only today that I have this chance." King Qi greeted Yu Zimo in an approachable manner, with a smile on his face.  There was a smile on his face, but in Yu Zimo's eyes, it was scarier than anything else.  Regarding King Qi, Yu Zimo told Lian Ruoshui to be extremely careful after the sacrifice that day. Although he had no evidence to prove that the assassination was directly related to him, he subconsciously placed this person as a dangerous person.  Among them, if there is no interest between the two parties, it is better to have as little contact as possible.  "Haha, the prince is too polite. It's just a small fight, and it's hard to reach the level of elegance." The two of them were polite to each other, and Yu Zimo explained the reason for inviting everyone today, and about the new food that is about to debut.  Fa, several people at the table were also full of expectations, especially the little fat man and others who were very familiar with Shangri-La. During this period, Yu Zimo also politely asked about the whereabouts of Gongsun Yuji and Concubine Que. He remembered that there were two people on the invitation list.  However, they were told to eat at the table next door.  Under Yu Zimo¡¯s instructions, the waiter of the new store brought a pot that was as big as a basin, filled with some turbid liquid, as well as ginseng slices, wolfberry and other medicinal materials.  The waiter placed the pot in the hollow in the middle of the table, just below the coal stove, leaving most of the pot exposed on the table. After a while, the water in the pot began to boil slowly.  The waiter brought a lot of raw food from outside, including beef, mutton, various vegetables, tofu, and unknown meatballs. They were all neatly placed next to the pot and brought one to each guest present.  A small bowl filled with dark liquid. It smelled a bit spicy, but I didn¡¯t know what it was.thing.  "Everyone, this is the new dining method that our store is about to launch. It's called hot pot. It's very simple to eat. The small bowl in front of you is filled with the store's secret seasoning. After a while, everyone puts the food they want to eat.  Cook it in the pot, then soak it in the seasonings, and then you can eat it. "After briefly introducing the hot pot meal to everyone, Yu Zimo put most of the hard-to-cook vegetables in front of him and used the soup himself.  Shao soaked half of the beef and put it on the empty plate in front of everyone with a smile, indicating that everyone could try it.  Originally, the little grandson behind the little fat man wanted to taste it for him first, but for some reason, loud shouts and cheers came from the next door box, especially from the two foodies Lian Ruotian and Lu Batian.  The house almost collapsed. Yu Zimo couldn't help but feel black anger on his face. He almost went over in person to deprive these two people of their right to eat hot pot. It was so fucking embarrassing.  The little fat man was so anxious that he dipped his brush and threw the whole piece into his mouth. Then there was an intoxicated expression on his face, "It's so delicious, oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo  Cut them all off, these bastards have been causing trouble to my stomach for twelve years." Looking at the expression on the little fat man's face, the others hurriedly started eating, and then they all felt like they were taking drugs. Their intoxicated look made Yu Yu feel more intoxicated.  Zimo broke into a cold sweat.  After coming back to their senses, everyone began to skillfully add various foods to the pot, and then sat on the chairs staring at the pot intently. As long as something seemed to be cooked, there would be a fight.  "That's my tofu, you dare to snatch it, do you want to lose your head?" "Sheng'er, I am your father, please give me the meatball just now, oh, you actually ate it, don't let him do it in the future  Damn you want to get a tael of silver from me. " Words like these made the master Yu Zimo's face full of black lines. You guys are considered to be the top leaders of the Que Dynasty. Can you show some quality?  How about a hot pot? Why are the two countries at war? I didn't say you can only eat one plate. The beef cut outside is enough for you girls to eat until tomorrow morning.  At this time, Yang Ye looked at Yu Zimo, the more he looked at him, the more he liked him. He had to decide on this son-in-law. Alas, it would be better to have a daughter. Marry a good husband, and both the father-in-law and his father-in-law would enjoy the blessings. Let¡¯s see if we can let this son-in-law live in the future.  The boy brought the hot pot to my house so that I can eat it without going out.  The only one who was still awake in the field was King Qi. Although he was also concentrating on selecting food in the pot, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Yu Zimo's eyes, which were full of admiration. The corner of his mouth raised an arc, which was very meaningful.  smiled slightly.  Looking at the eating scenes of these so-called Que Chao upper echelons, Yu Zimo had to admit that his hot pot plan was successful. Tomorrow will be the official opening day of the hot pot restaurant. Just now, King Xuan and the others also promised to come on time to help out. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to  It¡¯s my second meal, but as long as these celebrities are here, I think it will be an instant success in the capital tomorrow, making the hot pot restaurant and Shangri-La both stand in the capital¡¯s catering world and become an eternal myth.  ps: Thanks to the Tiansha Undead book friend for the reward of 1888 starting coins, I will definitely work hard to write a wonderful plot.  Please support me in any way!  Feel free to throw your weight at this book!
