Into Xuancheng Xianxian, From Not Being A Son-In-Law

Jiuzhenlou's egg yolk cakes are not easy to buy.

A dim sum can be used as a restaurant's signboard, which shows how good this egg yolk cake is, and even if the Governor of Jingzhao Mansion came, he would have to queue up to buy it, and it was still made and sold.

Also limited.

So many are sold every day, and when they are sold out, they will be gone.

As for why not do more?

Jiuzhenlou's answer is that the raw materials are limited, and only so much can be produced.

Regardless of the main raw materials for making egg yolk cakes, wheat, bean paste, eggs, and lard, which ones cannot be bought in sufficient quantities in Yujing City, but that is what Jiuzhenlou said.

Believe it or not, Jiuzhenlou never explained much.

It's not that no one came here because they didn't eat the egg yolk crisps, and they were dissatisfied and made trouble.

But the shopkeeper of Jiuzhen Building is a sixth rank repair practitioner. Anyone who drinks too much and dares to come here to find faults has to weigh how much he is, whether he will turn the faults into courting death.

There are also high-school disciples from other places who came to Yujing City, famously came to Jiuzhen Building, but failed to satisfy their appetites, probably because they felt that they lost face, and felt that their own family background would not make them humble in front of sixth rank practitioners.

So he vented his dissatisfaction boldly.

In the end, the shopkeeper of Jiuzhen Building didn't do anything directly, but the Jingzhao Mansion, which enforced the law impartially, put the high-school kid in jail.

Afterwards, the high-school boy who had been in prison for a while left the capital in despair and returned home. However, the gate of his family was demolished for no reason. Unexpected fate.

Hitting a wall everywhere, nothing goes well, so he is devastated and his family is in decline.

I will never have the chance to eat the egg yolk pastry from Jiuzhenlou again.

It was also after the troublesome high-school boy became impoverished in a daze, everyone could see that the owner behind Jiuzhen Building who almost never showed up must have an extraordinary background.

Such a hard-to-buy egg yolk crisp.

Others made a special trip to buy it, and they may not be able to catch up. Zhang Tiantian decided to follow Xu Nian on this trip, and when he arrived at Jiuzhen Building, the egg yolk pastry was already sold out today.

"...Ah, it's already sold out?"

The guy at Jiuzhen Building said: "You see, this is really a coincidence. It is indeed sold out. If you must eat this egg yolk cake, I have to trouble you to make an extra trip tomorrow and come earlier."

Tomorrow will not come, not sure.

But today's trip is not specifically for the egg yolk crisps, if they are gone, they will be gone.

When you come to see the shopkeeper of Jiuzhen Building, if you just want to meet people by name, it seems that you don’t know each other because you are not related to each other. It seems that there is a little bit of etiquette.

Although the egg yolk cakes are sold out today, there is still a table vacant in the lobby.

Also considered lucky.

After sitting down in the lobby, Xu Nian and Zhang Tiantian ordered three dishes and one soup together.

Jiuzhen Building is well-mannered and well-known, but the dishes are not limited to delicacies from mountains and seas, but include all major cuisines.

Perhaps it was because they were used to the exquisite dishes here at Baihuaitang, and it was rare for them to come to have a meal. Both of them ordered some homely dishes by coincidence.

Mapo tofu, ground three delicacies, wood shu pork, loofah and hibiscus soup.

For a change.

When the clerk came over with four dishes, Xu Nian took advantage of the situation and asked the clerk, "I want to meet your shopkeeper, Yu Yunfang, may I let you know?"

Where are you from, cat and dog, and want to meet our shopkeeper too?

Although Jiuzhen Building has an extraordinary background, the guys who work here don't have the problem of arrogance.

The waiter brought the dishes to the table, the smile on his face was still polite: "May I ask if you have anything to do with our shopkeeper?"

Zhang Tiantian filled half a bowl of soup first, and said, "We are from Baihuai Hall, let's ask about the past."

"Okay, you two wait a moment, I will tell the shopkeeper the truth, but whether the shopkeeper is free to come to see you, this is not something I can guarantee..."

The dishes ordered have been served.

While eating, he waited for the reply from the shopkeeper of Jiuzhenlou.

"Are you...Xu Nian?"

Suddenly hearing someone calling own's name, Xu Nian turned his head and saw a young man in brocade clothes.

There was a little hesitation on Young Master Jinyi's face.

It's not so much that I don't know if it's Xu Nian, but actually is not that I didn't expect to see Xu Nian here.

Xu Nian rummaged through his memory: "Is it Cheng Bozhou, Cheng Young Master from Cheng Yuan External Martial Arts of Tongmu County?"

Tongmu County is the closest county to Hezhu Village, and the business of Cheng Yuan External Martial Arts is bamboo pens.

The reason why Hezhu Village is called Hezhu Village is because there is a bamboo forest beside the river that bypasses the small village. Cheng Yuanwai used to send people to Hezhu Village to harvest bamboo, but now the bamboo forest is bare and it will take many years to grow back.

Before Xu Nian learned the art of collecting herbs from the mountains with Uncle Li, he also cut bamboo and sold it to Cheng Yuanwai to reduce the burden on his mother.

But after the bamboo grove was cut down, Cheng Yuanwai and Cheng Bozhou, the father and son, went to Hezhu Village.

It is to ask Uncle Li for medicine.

Xu Nian was very impressed and I still remember it to this day.

A member of the county once asked Uncle Li for a prescription, and said that the fee for the consultation was not a problem, as long as he could satisfy his fourteen concubines, he was naturally refused by Uncle Li.

After all, Xu Nian wanted to ask Uncle Li for an aphrodisiac prescription to earn some extra money, but he was scolded for not doing his job properly.

It can be seen that Uncle Li is very disgusted with prescribing this kind of medicine.

This member who wants to satisfy the fourteenth concubine is Cheng Bozhou's father.

Xu Nian can understand the regret of not being able to do what he wants.

But when Cheng Yuanwai wanted this prescription, his son Cheng Bozhou was also there. Xu Nian still remembered the embarrassment on Cheng's face at that time, obviously he couldn't empathize with his father.

Cheng Bozhou didn't misunderstand the person, and his smile suddenly gained confidence: "Haha, I didn't expect to meet you in this capital. It seems that we are destined to be together."

Xu Nian nodded politely: "Yes, it is fate."

Cheng Bozhou looked at Zhang Tiantian who was carrying a bowl of soup: "Who is this girl?"

"Dear Little Sister."

Zhang Tiantian blurted out, but Xu Nian did not correct him.

"Oh, so it's Xu Nian's Little Sister..."

Cheng Bozhou had no doubts about him.

In the final analysis, it was because Cheng Bozhou was not familiar with Xu Nian at all. How much contact could he have with Xu Nian as a son from outside the county seat? It's good enough to be able to call out a name, how can I remember if Xu Nian has brothers and sisters.

That's why the opening remarks of a few greetings are very dry, without revealing any true feelings, it's just to pave the way for the following topics.

Cheng Bozhou had already looked at them calmly during the exchange of greetings. The two people's table was not full of delicacies, and the clothes they were wearing could only be regarded as decent, so he felt that Xu Nian probably got rid of poverty in the mountain village this year.

But it's just about getting rid of poverty.

Did not get rich.

Cheng Bozhou felt relieved and started the next topic.

This is the real reason why he insisted on going out of the country to meet his old friends even though he clearly couldn't talk about friendship with Xu Nian.

"Xu Nian, let's have a discussion. How about you and your Little Sister take this table away and eat it in another place?"
