Chapter 46 Old Knowledge

In the early morning, when the sun shone brightly on the east side of the market, the car had already pushed down the fixed intersection. Nie Yunzhu and Hu Tao packed up some things, and then carried a basket to deliver the goods. She was still wearing a simple cloth dress and a headscarf. It seemed that she was dressed like most women and village girls, but even in terms of figure, she could not hide her former temperament. If she had a face-to-face conversation, she would naturally be unable to miss her elegant and beautiful appearance.

Yesterday I sent the first peeled egg to Chunyi Restaurant. It was a start. Today, she was still here. According to Ning Yi's plan, she put several different ingredients in a beautiful small porcelain bottle, then prepared the porcelain plate. After delivering it, take a peeled egg into four pieces, take four small plates, pour a little sauce on each plate, and display it in different styles. After cutting the peeled eggs, it looks good. It is definitely enough to give people a visual impact. Even if the restaurant does not show the most conspicuous position, it sold more than ten pieces yesterday.

Such progress caught Nie Yunzhu a little off guard, but if there was a second one, the plan to thirty eggs a day would be basically completed.

In the same morning light, just as she was carrying a basket through the street and heading towards Chunyi Tower, Li Pin was walking out of the alley and stopped for a moment. Then he went to the Sihai Restaurant on the other end of the street. A friend had arrived and was waiting for him there: "Brother Xie is here early... Where is Zishan?"

"Zishan has not come with me today. He said he met a friend last night and will come with him later."

“So very good.”

Everything is developing as usual, and Li Pin's appeal is still fine. In the past three or four days, I have found some friends who usually eat in different restaurants nearby and asked them to ask the waiter to buy a pineapple egg when the restaurant is lively. It's just a simple task. Since Ning Yi said that a few people were enough that day, he didn't know too many people. These friends are relatively confidential and there is no problem with random performances. Yesterday I heard that Chunyilou had put the pineapple egg on it, which was considered to have initial results.

Li Pin was curious about Ning Yi's talent. As for Songhuadan, he didn't take it too seriously. At this time, he met with this friend named Xie Jiang, had a conversation, and went upstairs. After waiting for a while, another friend he had made a appointment also arrived. The man's name was Shen Miao, whose courtesy name was Zishan, and he was also a talented man with some reputation in Jiangning. Another person came with him, with a square appearance and a tall appearance. He was in his twenties, but he had a very steady temperament. As soon as he entered the door, he bowed to Li Pin and Xie Jiang.

"Dexin, Xishen, it's been a long time since we met."

"Yan Zhen!"

Li Pin stood up in surprise. This person was actually an old acquaintance with them. Originally, in Jiangning, he was also a person who was comparable to Li Pin and Cao Guan. Gu Hong and Yanzhen went to Beijing three years ago. It is said that they were in high school. Since then, they were mostly active in Bianliang, looking for real problems. But they never expected that they would come back from there at this time.

Everyone was overjoyed for a moment.

"When did it arrive? I didn't contact us as soon as possible, I've recorded this account."

"Today we will hold a banquet in Jinfeng Tower to welcome the wind and dust."

"Punishment of wine!"

"I don't know what I have learned after three years of going to Tokyo, so I have to talk about it carefully."

The four of them sat down at the table with a smile, and Gu Yanzhen talked to the others about trivial matters in the capital.

"Now in Tokyo and other places, the most talked about is the evil affairs between the Liao and Jin countries in recent years. Since Your Majesty appointed Prime Minister Li, he has rectified military affairs and strictly enforced military discipline. Now the court is full of excitement. If the speculation is good, at least three to five months, or as many as one or two years, the court will seize the opportunity to form an alliance with the Jin Kingdom. Revitalize the depressed atmosphere of the whole country since Tanyuan and recover Youyun, just around the corner!"

Since the Jin Dynasty, under the leadership of Wanyan Aguda, the Jin Dynasty had a large-scale conflict with the Liao Kingdom, and the revival of Youyun and the revitalization of national destiny have been the most common topic of discussion among these scholars of the Wu Dynasty. Sixty years ago, the Hei River six years ago, and a hundred years of bullying, now the opportunity has finally come. Since the current emperor appointed Li Gang as prime minister, he has vigorously rectified military affairs. Now the situation is clear, and everything seems to be pressed on a string. In the future, it seems that there is only a piece of window paper like a tulle. Once it is picked, you can see the army out of Yanmen, take Youyun straight, and restore the old landscape of the Tian Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the four people were excited and excited when they talked about it. Then Gu Yanzhen also talked about his gains this time.

"...This time in Tokyo, I finally got favored by Lord Qinsou, and I had to make up for the 17th rank. Haha, the magistrate of Leping County, Raozhou, will take office in July. It will be a while before I come back to Jiangning and talk to you..."

The Qinsou said that the Lord Qinsou was Tang Ke and Tang Qinsou. He was quite famous in the eyes of these scholars, so he asked again. He was envious, jealous and hated him for his lack, and then he mentioned some elegant things. Gu Yanzhen was originally a romantic figure in Jiangning, and was quite favored by all kinds of beauties. After three years in Tokyo, he naturally would not have any romantic affairs. Gu Yanzhen smiled and said some trivial and interesting things.

"In fact, reputation and talent are similar to Jiangning. Most Tokyo women are proud, and there are scholars from all over the world. It is not easy to impress them. In the three years of my life in Tokyo, among the most popular girls, Li Shishi, I have only met her once..."

Time passed by words, and it was already the busiest time in the restaurant. Li Pin wondered if he should call Pidan over. Gu Yanzhen suddenly stopped, patted the table, and then said to the waiter: "Come four pineapple eggs."

There was no such thing in the store. Then Gu Yanzhen pointed out the place and was very familiar with it. Li Pin looked surprised. Then Gu Yanzhen laughed and whispered: "I talked to Brother Mu Fang at Cuiping Tower yesterday. I suddenly saw that he called this Songhua egg so much that he was very informative. When I asked the next question, I realized that it was Brother Dexin who asked me to me. I was willing to keep it in mind... Is what I said just now wrong? I don't know what the Songhua egg has to do with Dexin."

Li Pin also laughed: "It doesn't matter. It's also a friend's entrusted to play. It's just that it can't be deliberately promoted with its own reputation."

"Understand." When you bet and joke, you have everything. Seeing that Li Pin said it was a game move, Gu Yanzhen no longer cared about it, and then talked about the appearance of Tokyo. When Li Pin had to eat and drink enough, Li Pin chatted with Gu Yanzhen for a few words alone. Li Pin just joked: "When he talked about those Tokyo women just now, Yan Zhen seemed to be a little hesitant. Could it be that he was defeated in Tokyo? It's hard to say at this time."

Gu Yanzhen smiled, then shook his head helplessly: "Dexin is very clear about his thoughts. There are indeed some things, but they have nothing to do with Tokyo... Well, if you say that there is a relationship... I wonder if Dexin has been to Jinfeng Tower in the past few years?"

Li Pin shook his head: "Jinfeng Tower has been going to Jinfeng Tower very little. Looking back, Yan Zhen did go to it often back then. Haha, Yuan Jiner of Jinfeng Tower has been quite close to Cao Guan recently. Yan Zhen also knew that Cao Guan is my mortal enemy of Lichuan. If I go, I will be turned away... Uh, what's the matter?"

"Before going to Tokyo three years ago, there was a confidante in the Golden Wind Tower. He came to the city a few days ago and went to see her that night. Unfortunately... Three years of time, she is no longer in the Golden Wind Tower..." Gu Yanzhen knocked on the table with a slightly melancholy expression. "To be honest, Dexin, I used to be romantic, and I thought I had seen many women, but this woman... I felt the most heart-to-heart, the quietest in my heart, and the literary temperament was completely different from the people of the world. I remember when I bid farewell to her three years ago, she said: 'I wish the young master a title for the Golden List and return with glory...' This time is somewhat considered a title for the Golden List, and return with glory, which is a pity... If I had known this, she would have refused three years ago and should have redeemed for her..."

Li Pin thought for a while: "So, three years ago... Yuan Jin'er was Pan Shi before, well, I heard that she did redeem her husband..."

"How could it be Pan Shi?" Gu Yanzhen raised his eyebrows disdainfully, "Pan Shi is just a common thing, how can he be loved by her? What I am talking about is Miss Yun Zhu. She has always been low-key. If she had not been unwilling to compete for fame, how could Pan Shi take the lead in the Golden Feng Tower... This matter can only be said that she is destined to be together..."

"Yunzhu... This name seems to have heard it back then..."

"If Dexin really saw her back then, he would naturally know her goodness. This woman's poems and songs were all excellent. Her thoughts were completely different from those women who wanted to be a courtesan and became famous for her. Although she was not clear about her past, if she had not had a rough life experience, how could she fall into the dust? She originally thought that she could help her, but she knew her personality, but she had never dared to mention the matter of redeeming her for her. Alas, now she knows that the flowers are blooming and you have to break them. Don't wait for the flowers to break branches without flowers. Unfortunately, it's too late..."

"Are you asking about her whereabouts now?"

Gu Yanzhen shook her head: "I asked, but there was no reply... Haha, since I didn't give a reply, I'll get married. If she just left Jinfenglou and was in Jiangning at this time, she would still have a reputation. With her friendship that day, she would not refuse."

Love is the most sad thing about things, and Li Pin thought: "Don't ask more? At least you know where she is now."

"What is the use of asking? Who did she choose in the end? I am really curious, but... if I can't see you..." He looked at Li Pin and smiled, "Maybe if I don't see you... there's something better if I don't see you."

Li Pin nodded and patted his shoulder: "Well, I will forget it in a while."

While a group of people were talking about these things on Sihai Tower, the restaurant had the busiest time and fewer customers gradually became less and less. The waiter who had just gone to buy Songhua eggs discussed with the few people who were called to buy two days ago and then reacted with the manager. The manager looked at the four people who were quite identifiable like a feather fan and Lunzi here, waved his hand to give instructions. The waiter went out and walked through the street to the intersection there, and told Nie Yunzhu about his request to send Songhua eggs tomorrow. Before that, a waiter from Cuiping Tower came over and said the same request.

Before dawn the next morning, Nie Yunzhu and others were in front of the steps of the small building. When Ning Yi came over, he happily told him that the sales had expanded to three companies. While speaking, he also paid attention to Ning Yi's expression in confusion. In fact, the market expansion was a bit strange to her. People often asked waiters to buy pineapple eggs from restaurants, but their fame had not yet been made. How could this happen? Perhaps it was his hands and feet behind him.

If this is true, she would be impressed. However, although she is good at observing words and expressions, Nie Yunzhu naturally could not see too much content on Ning Yi's face except happiness. In fact, she was also happy that she could be self-reliant, and discussed with Ning Yi about the emergency measures that were not pickled in advance, in case of shortage of stocks, etc.

Early in the morning, at the intersection, the car, Sihailou, Nie Yunzhu came over with a bamboo basket to tell the waiter about various combinations, and decided to inquire about the inside story. In her opinion, the matter should be related to Ning Yi.

"...Little brother, who are the people who asked you to buy pineapple eggs a few days ago?...I want to know who likes to eat this."

"Oh, they are all talented men with knowledge. Some say that this is called Jade Egg Fugui Egg. Yesterday, the villain went over and heard it by accident. One of them was a master from Tokyo. The master of high school... These people also know the name of the pineapple egg. Could Miss Nie be a novel thing I learned from Tokyo... No wonder it is not sold in other places... Right, girl, the one who asked for the pineapple egg yesterday was that talented master."
