Chapter 24 Visiting the Temple Fair

I went on a private visit to understand the people's sentiment. Well, I was suspected of giving my face.

As for Zhu Youxiao, I have never seen the appearance of Beijing City at this time and the customs and customs!

So, he was actually just visiting temple fairs and watching the fun.

Candied haws, crystal clear candy, red fruits, a few children gathered around the vendor, shouting happily, you and I, pointing at the candied haws on the grass buyer.

I came to two skewers, one skewer, and one skewer for Zhang Yuer. This girl was pitiful and starved to death in the palace.

"Thank you..." Zhang Yu'er wanted to thank you. When she saw the young emperor glaring at him, she hurriedly stopped him again.

Before leaving the palace, Zhu Youxiao explained that he should not call him or thank him outside. If anyone exposed his identity, he would be severely punished.

The sour and fragrant smell of Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly. The taste of childhood was actually tasted again in the Ming Dynasty.

"You want to eat too?" Zhang Yu'er looked at the White Sir who was wrapped in the fur and only had a big head exposed. This guy was stretching out a small claw to scratch her.

Zhu Youxiao took a look, bite a fruit, pinched it in his hand and handed it to Xiaobai's mouth.

Yitong's eyes blinked, and his big head tilted. Xiaobai ignored him as if he was disgusted and "meowed" at Zhang Yuer.

After not eating, Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes and threw the fruit into his mouth, chewing it.

The White Lady also ate it, as if she had tasted it, and the taste seemed to be unpleasant. It was then retracted into the fur and was held by Zhang Yuer in one hand, like a little baby.

Zhang Yuer really wanted to eat it, but the emperor was beside him and didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Seeing the emperor turn his head and walk forward, he hesitated for a moment, and slowly put the candied haws next to his tongue and licked it. It was sweet.

Looking at the emperor's back, Zhang Yuer took a light bite. It was sour and sweet, fragrant and crispy, and the taste was really good.

The temple fair was lively, but Zhu Youxiao felt it was very chaotic. Without a unified plan, the spontaneous market was naturally one on the left and one on the right. There was no time to place it wherever you had time, so how could it not be messed up!

Moreover, there are a lot of goods at the temple fair, including jade, antiques, Beijing silk fans, jewelry, etc., as well as home-used department stores, but Zhu Youxiao is not short of these!

So, eating while walking became the theme of Zhu Youxiao and others visiting temple fairs. There were not many kinds of cakes, braised rice cakes, candy, meatballs, rice cakes... Zhu Youxiao just tasted it.

Zhang Yuer has become more and more bold as she eats, and she becomes more and more relaxed as she eats.

Zhu Youxiao also bought a cloth bag with good workmanship at the stall, and slapped it across the girl's shoulders, filling her with food.

In addition to eating, there are also juggling that is more attractive, mainly because Chang Yuer has never seen it before.

Zhang Yu'er's eyes wide open and she was so excited about somebody playing and playing tricks, and so on. Zhu Youxiao, who was used to watching more exciting performances in later generations, had to stop without leaving any trace in order to take care of her.

It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and that was the time when Zhu Youxiao and others finished the temple fair and came out along the street.

"Emperor, there is the top scholar in front of me. I heard that there are a few signature dishes that taste very good." Wang Tiqian approached and spoke.

Zhu Youxiao thought about it and ordered, "Then go and taste it!"

Wang Tiqian hurriedly called a few guards, and the emperor walked towards the Zhuangyuanju.

Zhuangyuanju has a big door face, and the pillars outside are carved beams and painted buildings. You can tell at a glance that the grade is not low.

When I entered the store, I looked around and found that the decoration was more elegant. There were calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, bonsai on the ground, the tables and chairs were mahogany, and the floor was solid wood, without shavings or pollution.

A lobby looks like this, without the mess and hustle and bustle of the usual hotel, and it is also thoughtful.

"Several guests, please come here." The waiter also had a wink, and saw that these people were not simple, so he diligently brought Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yuer to the second floor private room.

After ordering a few signature dishes, when the waiter left, Zhu Youxiao reached out and ordered a point, saying, "Thank you for the hard work of the guards outside. Wang Tigan ordered a table for them. You two should sit down too. It's too conspicuous to stand there."

The table was quite big, Wang Ti went out to arrange it, returned to the private room, and sat down with Zhang Yuer.

"This Zhuangyuan Building has been very attentive. Judging from the name of this dish, it is exactly what the students think." Zhu Youxiao looked at the recipe casually and said with a smile: "I just don't know what kind of dish has changed its name to ask for a lottery?"

Wang Tigan laughed and replied, "I don't know other servants, but this is the only one who can dominate the head, but I know it's the braised lion's head."

Can you be the best at eating a meatball?

Zhu Youxiao smiled and didn't think so, but he didn't take it seriously. As long as the food was delicious, it would be fine.

At this time, many guests came in the hotel, all of whom came to have dinner after the temple fair. Among them, there were several candidates who took the exam.

If you pass the imperial examination, you can not only be called a master, but you will not kneel when you see a county magistrate, but you will be qualified to serve as a low-level civil servant (official), but also have many economic benefits.

The juren in the Ming Dynasty generally had tax exemption of 400 acres. It doesn’t matter if there was not so much land at home. Many farmers would hold their land under the name of the juren to reduce taxes and service.

In other words, the taxes that should have been the state were taken away by those scholars and gentry who had fame.

In addition, when a juren and a jinshi walk outside, they often earn "cabin money".

Because the Ming Dynasty treated scholars with preferential treatment, those with official status and fame could be exempted from taxes. Therefore, many merchant ships would ask Jinshi or Juren to make "amulets" on the ship. When they encountered the government's taxes, they would ask them to come forward to deal with it, and all commercial taxes would be exempted.

In this way, if a Jinshi and a juren do nothing, just show his face and sign a name, he can eat, drink, travel for free, and make money, which is "cabin money".

No business is a traitor, and the money paid by merchants is naturally far from the tax paid normally. Jinshi and Juren get small benefits, merchants get big profits, and only the government is the sucker.

Therefore, if you have a reputation as a Juren in the Ming Dynasty, you can make a fortune financially. Unless you are a freshman and have not had time to enjoy the benefits.

Zhuangyuan Building is a high-end restaurant, and ordinary people dare not get involved, but for most students, they are still affordable.

"Waiter, what kind of dish is this Sanyuan?" Like Zhu Youxiao, he was a newcomer. He only looked at the name of this high-end dish but didn't know what the dish was.

"Returning to the guest, this three yuan is also known as the Sixi Balls." The guy explained with a smile.

Another scholar asked, "What about this one's awesome success?"

"Hui Keguan, this dish is also known as steamed chicken with red onion."

"Golden List?"

"Burn pork trotters with pork ribs!"

…………

Regardless of the ingredients and taste, just based on this meaning, you can also get it!
