Chapter 657: Once you send someone away, they won’t come back (1)
Early the next morning, Liang Huaixin and Xiangsi went to Yongfuji, the restaurant that the man mentioned yesterday, to buy sweet soup.
just
"You are probably not from our Yuening City!" The waiter wiped the tray in his hand and looked up at the two people who had just stepped into the store and opened their mouths impatiently to buy soup as soon as they came in.
In fact, just by looking at Xiangsi and Liang Huaixin's anxious expressions, he already had the answer.
After all, although there is not much of this sweet soup, anyone who knows a famous brand can generally buy it, it just depends on how many pots of sweet soup you buy.
"The soup here is special! It contains precious special medicinal materials, and is carefully brewed using a secret recipe passed down from our ancestors. Drinking it not only makes people happy, but also has the wonderful effect of calming the mind.
Because of this, many families in the city with scholars preparing for the imperial examinations would send servants to buy it. However, the daily supply of this soup is very limited, so it can only be purchased with a famous brand. "The waiter introduced it vividly.
After hearing these words, Liang Huaixin was stunned and secretly groaned in his heart.
He originally thought that the servant named "Hu Zi" yesterday had deliberately deceived him, but he didn't expect that although the other party's attitude was not very friendly, every word he said was true!
Seeing her young master standing there in surprise without saying a word, Xiang Si, who was standing by, could not help but sigh softly, then walked forward and asked the waiter softly, "Then could you please tell me, young man, how can I get this brand?"
Upon hearing this, the waiter stopped what he was doing and slowly moved his eyes to the master and servant in front of him. After carefully examining them from head to toe, he slowly answered: "If you want to get this brand,
First of all, this person must be someone from our Yuening Academy in Yuening City, whether it is a respected teacher or a student! "
At this point, the guy paused, then added: "There is another more important condition, that is, this person must be on the list."
After saying this, the guy's face revealed an unconcealable sense of satisfaction and pride.
"Master, do you have a ranking list?" Liang Huaixin asked in disbelief.
The waiter rolled his eyes at Liang Huaixin and said, "Of course. The teachers at Yuening Academy are ranked according to their teaching achievements, and the ranking is updated every three years."
Liang Huaixin was in a dilemma. He had just arrived here and had no idea who was on the list.
But then his eyes lit up, and Liang Huaixin continued to ask: "Brother, I wonder if people from other places who come to Yuening City to study can take this kind of exam?"
After hearing this, Xiangsi couldn't help but frown. This young master might not understand these things at all.
Not to mention whether a clerk in a small shop would understand the ins and outs of this, how could he participate in the examinations if he is not even a student of the academy?
The guy scratched his head, obviously stumped by the question, and after a long while he finally said, "There's no precedent for this."
"Then I'm going to give it a try!" Liang Huaixin became excited when he heard it, "When can I take the test?"
"In three days." the waiter replied.
Liang Huaixin seemed to have made up his mind to take the exam.
"Young Master, although we didn't buy the sweet soup, I think you should still go to that family and tell them. Otherwise, wouldn't that be breaking your promise?" Xiangsi reminded with a frown.
"But even if I go, I can't give them anything to compensate them!" Liang Huaixin frowned slightly, "I'll go to Yuening Academy to inquire about the situation first. Let's talk about the sweet soup in a few days!"
Hearing Liang Huaixin say this, Xiangsi could only sigh.
Before leaving, the decisive and ruthless old lady Liang seemed to have guessed that her grandson would most likely not be able to handle this matter.
Therefore, she specifically told Xiangsi that no matter whether Liang Huaixin went to that family or not, she must go.
It would be best if there was sweet soup, but if that was not available, then give it to that family at ten times the price.
"Young Master, then you go and check out the situation! I have some things to take care of under the orders of the old lady, so I will not accompany you to the academy." Xiangsi bowed to Liang Huaixin.
Liang Huaixin glanced at Xiangsi. Although he was also dissatisfied, he also knew that the other party was indeed busy, so he stopped dwelling on the matter and left Yongfu Ji alone and walked towards the academy.
After everyone left, Xiangsi asked the waiter the price of the sweet soup before leaving.
After asking many people along the way, I finally found the place that person mentioned yesterday.
Xiangsi stood at the door and was about to knock, but the door opened by itself.
Unlike many people's doors, this family's door had no threshold. Just when Xiangsi was puzzled, a person in a wheelchair came out, turning the wooden wheels by himself.
When Xiangsi saw the person in front of her, she couldn't help but blush slightly. She had never seen such a handsome person in her life.
The man sitting in the wheelchair had a face as white as jade, with a cold air between his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. His eyes were deep and his thin lips were red without any makeup.
Different from those men nowadays who like to wear a crown, that man's black hair was clamped by a transparent jade buckle and gathered beside his ear, adding a bit of laziness.
