Chapter 9 Apologize
After leaving the bookstore, Hu Su saw that it was noon, and led Yao Yi to the restaurant.In fact, to be honest, Yao Yi doesn't think there is anything delicious about this ancient dish, after all, for Yao Yi, if he doesn't add two spoonfuls of chicken essence, any dish will be tasteless.But the restaurant I came to today surprised Yao Yi. No matter what kind of food it tastes, Yao Yi tasted it carefully and found out that this stir-fried dish is probably made of fish and sheep broth. After ordering minced chicken, Yao Yi was speechless when he checked out. This meal cost more than 100 guan, which is equivalent to RMB [-] to [-].Well, I still have to make money, otherwise I won’t be able to eat something good.

After eating and drinking enough, Hu Su pulled Yao Yi and said:

"Yuan Qian, how is this dish?"

"Pretty good."

"There will be a family dinner at home in a few days. My father invited the chef of this restaurant to cook the dishes, and you will come with me." Hu Su raised his eyebrows wretchedly as he spoke.

"Is it appropriate for me to go to the family banquet?" Yao Yi asked with a frown.

"Oh, my father specifically told you to go there."

"Okay, I'll definitely be there on time." Yao Yi thought that after all, he was a partner, so he couldn't help but give face to others.

With Yao Yi's promise, Hu Su smiled even more obscenely, which made Yao Yi always feel that something was wrong.

After Yao Yi and Hu Su separated, they wandered around the street for a while. He still wondered if he could meet that little girl again, but how could this little girl in a feudal society hang out all the time.But he didn't get nothing, at least he knew that the Sheng family was the richest man in Youyang, had a lot of friendship with the county magistrate, and someone in the family was an official in Bianjing.It is estimated that this luck came from that relative in Bianjing. After all, the emperor cannot be avoided in a feudal society. That relative should be the protagonist, and I don’t know what the specific plot is. Thinking of this, Yao Yi couldn’t help but say Curse secretly in my heart:
"Damn big ball of light."

It was already evening when we walked all the way back to Xiushan Village. At this time, the laughter of adults and children could be heard from a distance in Xiushan Village.Tables and chairs have been set up on the open space in the village, and a group of children are chasing and playing among the tables, followed by several dogs, probably raised by these children's families.The women in the distance kept busy, and those who were idle occasionally went up to help, and the men were talking and laughing beside them with their arms folded, in a peaceful manner.

"Brother Yi, I bought a lot of things today, and there are still fourteen sticks left." Zhang Buxie saw Yao Yi from a distance and came up to meet him.

"I also asked the shopkeepers to write a note, and the shopkeepers also attached the name of the shop. Brother Yi can go and have a look when he is free."

Yao Yi waved his hand, took the note casually, but stuffed it into his arms without looking at it.

"Brother Bu Hungry is very considerate in doing things, I am very relieved."

"Hey." Zhang Buxi didn't say any polite words, but just laughed innocently.

After nightfall, the villagers lit the bonfire that had been prepared earlier, and everyone began to sit down to the table. The muddy farmhouse cured wine, large pieces of bacon and fat chicken, and bought mutton made soup. The mutton was cut into a plate for each table. Then there is one basin per table.The taste can only be said to be palatable, but the atmosphere is quite good, Yao Yi also ate two more mouthfuls.

Yao Yi spread out another piece of paper and picked up a pen, but he didn't know what to write.

"I know about luck now, but I didn't say how to get the big ball of luck." Yao Yi had a terrible headache.This feels like playing the English version of League of Assassins, there is no tutorial, and the keyboard is broken.

"I still have to meet that little girl, and I have to find a way. But what if she doesn't go out? You can't sneak in."

The more he thought about it, the more headache Yao Yi threw away the pen, not thinking about it anymore.After losing his temper for a while, Yao Yisi picked up the pen after deliberation. After all, he still wanted to go back, and he couldn't just leave home for work.

"It's really impossible to learn from Tang Bohu and Lin Wanrong? But Hu Su's house is over there, and if he bumps into it one day, he will die. Forget it, let's squat at the door, after all, if you come out once, you can come out a second time." Yao Yi had no choice but to use a stupid method.

The next day, Yao Yi packed up his things and went to the vicinity of Sheng's house, where he set up a stall to help people write letters.Writing letters should be the most common way of earning a living for poor scholars in ancient times in TV dramas, but Yao Yi has hardly seen it in the past few days.

In the end, I don’t know if it was because the demand was greater than the supply. The business was quite good. A letter cost two cents. stop.

In fact, most of these people wrote letters just to make something new. Yangzhou is a rich and prosperous place, and two pennies is just a matter of eating less snacks for ordinary people.Many people's letters don't need to be written at all.There is also the issue of literacy, after all, it is possible that the people they send letters to are also illiterate.

Yao Yi originally thought it would be a protracted and bitter battle, but on the second day when he set up a stall, he ran into the maid who made fun of him back then.The little maid stood in front of him, staring at him with blinking eyes, she was a little embarrassed to stare at Yao Yi.

"Do you remember me?" the little maid asked.

"I remember, we met that day." Yao Yi said with a smile.

"I heard people say that you seem to have been admitted to Juren, why did you go to the street to write letters for others?"

"This is a kind of practice. Reading requires full concentration, but if I can study hard in a bustling city, then I can read books anywhere in the world." Yao Yi raised the book in his hand and said.

"Yeah." The little maid nodded, then turned and ran back.After a while, she panted heavily and ran to Yao Yi, and handed over the silver in her hand.

"Hey, this is given to you by my master, so that you can go home and study hard."

"Your master knows that I won't let you bring money here, and I said that making money is just incidental." Yao Yi shook his head in rejection.

"Why, wouldn't it be good to protect you from the wind and the sun?"

"It's bitterness for you, but it's a sharpening for me. Otherwise, how would I be able to endure the pain of studying?" Yao Yi said chicken soup and poured it over.

The little maid nodded again, turned around and ran back.

Since there was no client who wanted to write a letter, Yao Yi flipped out a book to read, but before he could turn a page, the little maid ran over panting again.

"Don't...other people say that in the book...there is a golden house, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, huh...in theory, reading should be happy, why do you say that reading is hard."

"The sage also said that you have to 'suffer your mind and work your muscles and bones'. Doesn't that prove that reading is suffering? Others say that most people can't read well." When the little maid heard this, she turned her head and ran away.

"Run slower." Yao Yi shouted from behind.This time the little maid didn't come back, Yao Yi saw that it was getting almost dark, so he packed up and went home.

"Oh." Walking in Yao Yi sighed, he felt that he was despicable, he naturally guessed who sent this little maid, but he still pretended not to know.It is rare to see little girls bullying others, and they deliberately use some words to lure others into the bait.

"Don't blame me, I just want to go home, I try not to hurt you." Yao Yi silently apologized to the little girl.

 I forgot to mention that although movable type printing was invented in the Song Dynasty, it has not been widely used. The main reason is that the quality of printed books is not good, wooden seals will swell, and ceramics do not absorb ink.Those who have watched "Su Chef" should have some understanding, and this is what I said at the beginning.
