Rise From the Humble

The scorching sun was in the sky, and Kyoto was bustling at the feet of the Emperor. There is an alley not far from Qihua Gate, facing the canal, with a lot of people. There is a store under renovation near the arch bridge called "Zhuji Fast Food", and there are especially many people outside the store.

Everyone gathered around Zhuji Fast Food, or to be precise, there was a sign that had just been hung outside the store.

Next to the sign, there is a young man dressed in low-key and neat clothes. He is pointing at the sign and looking at everyone with a smile and an honest face. His dark eyes are as clear as the sky, and his eyes are honest and straightforward.

The melon-eating crowd gathered around the sign, constantly urging those who could read in the crowd to read what was written on the sign.

"Well, what's written here is: Zhuji Fast Food, you can eat for six cents, and you can eat well for ten cents; a cup of tea, healthy and delicious, free after lunch."

Under the urging of many illiterate people eating melons, a literate and poorly dressed teacher in the crowd straightened out his navy blue robe in a hurry, walked slowly to the front, raised his chin slightly, looked at the melons, and was full of joy. Full of the arrogance of the scholars of my generation, I then pointed my finger at the sign hanging at the door, pointing and reading word by word to the curious but illiterate people around me.

The sign is easy to understand and catchy, and there is no difficulty in understanding it at all. However, after the teacher finished reading, he had an occupational disease and explained it to everyone again, "That's right, it's at Zhuji Fast Food." , you only need six cents to eat. If you have ten cents, you can eat well. After ordering, the food can be served in just a cup of tea. The food in the restaurant is delicious in your mouth. , it is healthy to eat in the belly, if more than one cup of tea is not served, then it will be given to you for free.”

However, before the teacher could finish his explanation, the enthusiasm of the people watching the melon-eating had already been ignited, and once ignited, it was like a prairie fire, with everyone rushing to express their opinions.

"Is it true? You can eat for six cents? You only need one cent for a big steamed bun. To be full, most people need two large steamed buns. People with big appetites like me need three or four. This shop only costs six cents. Money can guarantee you enough food, but tell me how bad the food here is." A man in rough cloth rolling his arms smiled and shook his head after hearing this.

"Well, yes, this is too affordable..."

"Haha, Liu Wen is full. Isn't it just the steamed buns that are enough?"

"Is it good to eat ten cents? Haha, the little shopkeeper really dares to say how good it is to eat ten cents. If it is like what the little shopkeeper said, then I will eat here every day."

Many people also said that they all thought the same way. They felt that the price of Zhuji Fast Food was too affordable, so affordable that they couldn't help but doubt it.

However, some people still have different opinions.

"Not necessarily. There is a lot of money in restaurants. I have a relative who owns a restaurant, so I know a little bit about it. For example, let's talk about steamed buns. If the store steams the steamed buns by itself, noodles cost a penny. You can make money by steaming three steamed buns. And that vegetable, we have all bought vegetables ourselves. A cucumber is not worth a penny, but if you order a cucumber in a restaurant, you can't buy it without six pence. Turn over a few Twice as much."

"What you said makes sense, then why are they so expensive in the store? How come it's so much cheaper in the store, little shopkeeper?"

"Do you think this little shopkeeper is selling steamed buns under the guise of selling vegetables? Hahaha..."

For a time, people's discussions became more and more intense...

This made the little Princess Ning'an behind the window of the delicious pastry shop opposite feel extremely anxious. She felt like she hated the iron, and she wished she could go up and slap them all awake.

You are really short-sighted pariahs. If that person named Zhu gives you some benefits, you will be fooled by him into not knowing what you are going to do.

I digress, okay?

Pigs in the water, you bunch of idiots!

The little Princess Ning'an became more and more anxious as she listened. Finally, she couldn't help but stick her little face out of the window, and shouted at the top of her voice, "You are so cheap just because you feed us pigs, isn't it?"

After shouting, Princess Ning'an once again retreated behind the bed with lightning speed, hiding her merit and fame.

Hum hum

Want to change the subject

This princess will not let you have your wish.

You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me. Let's see what you do this time... You are already a prostitute before you even start business. Our top pick is really smart and powerful.

A small face was pressed against the window, listening to what was going on outside with excitement and expectation. After hearing that people were so enlightened that they changed the topic to pig sewage, Princess Ning'an's little face once again smiled like a little girl. Dog-like.

Under Princess Ning'an's reminder, people were enlightened, as if they had grasped the key points, and suddenly became enlightened.

"Yes, you can eat six cents and ten cents to be full. That sounds nice. You don't really use pig waste to cook, do you?"

"No, no matter how you use the pig sewer thing, it always smells bad. I ate it once, and I don't want to eat it a second time."

"It's really possible. Look at the little shopkeeper and the others, aren't they carrying pigs into the water..."

"If it's a pig that got into the water, forget it. My stomach can't hold it down."

For a moment, there was a commotion outside Zhuji Fast Food Restaurant. When people mentioned pigs in the water, their colors changed as if they heard a tiger. Their enthusiasm seemed to have been poured cold water on them, and their spirits waned.

Although it was not to the extent of "coming here in high spirits and returning in disgrace," the melon-eaters who were watching were all uninterested.

That's it.

Princess Ning'an, who was hiding behind the window, clenched her pink fist excitedly, her little face was filled with excitement, and she silently applauded everyone in her heart.

At this time, seeing the trend of everyone turning from fans to fans, Liu Dadao and Liu Dachui were extremely anxious, and felt a lot of sweat in their hearts.

However, Zhu Pingan on the side was not affected at all. In the sunshine, the smile on his face seemed to be brighter.

Zhu Ping'an smiled and glanced at the delicious pastry shop opposite, and then noticed the corner of red clothes exposed behind the window, so the smile on his face became even brighter.

Although Princess Ning'an was mute, Zhu Pingan heard it right away, and now she has confirmed it.

That's a good request. Should I give her some reward...

Next, amidst the uproar from the crowd, Zhu Pingan took two steps forward with a simple smile on his face, bowed his hands to everyone, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Are you curious whether our Zhuji Fast Food uses pig waste to cook for you?"

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhu Pingan asked with a simple smile.

Everyone nodded.

The little princess Ning'an, who was sitting behind the window of Delicious Food across the street, couldn't help but stretched her neck out of curiosity when she heard Zhu Pingan's words.

Then, everyone saw Zhu Pingan smiled and nodded, with a frank look on his face, as if he was answering a very trivial question.

Admit it?

He admitted it so brazenly? !

Princess Ning'an opened her mouth in surprise and rubbed her eyes in disbelief. She really couldn't believe her eyes and ears. Princess Ning'an originally thought she would hear Zhu Pingan's sophistry, and she was ready to expose Zhu Pingan's sophistry at the critical moment. She never expected that Zhu Pingan would admit it shamelessly, with a look of honor on his face.

How shameless!

Princess Ning'an deeply despised Zhu Pingan in her heart, and had a new understanding of Zhu Pingan's shamelessness.

However, it doesn’t matter, no matter how thick-skinned it is, it’s useless, humph, just use pig water to cook and wait for the door to close!
