Chapter 457 Sweet Water
After Zhu Chenxi read the letter word for word, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
He must have been away from home during the time when his eldest sister and niece said a lot of good things on his behalf to General Qi, which led to this letter of recommendation.
He will definitely live up to everyone's trust and get a good official position.
Zhu Chenxi didn't know that while he was waiting for his appointment letter in Kyoto, the government's communication officer had already delivered the good news to his home.
Now there is red silk hanging at the door of Old Zhu’s shop.
The news spread among people in the county that the Zhu family had given birth to a good son, who passed the imperial examination this spring and became a Jinshi. He now stayed in Kyoto waiting for the emperor to confer an official title on him.
No matter if they were strangers on the street or familiar neighbors, they all rushed to Lao Zhu's shop to take part in the joy of being on the red list.
Looking at the groceries in the shop, whether they are usable or not, I will spend some money to buy them home.
While the new scholars have not been given official titles yet, they still have the opportunity to come and buy some of their things to benefit from the benefits. If they wait until they are given the official titles and move away, these country bumpkins will not be able to buy anything.
Zhou Mingshu was very happy that his uncle was in high school.
If her uncle's career goes well, she will have a backer.
The villagers from all over the town no longer dared to bully them.
It can also set an example for the younger generations, so there is no need to worry about the Zhou family not having a talented student.
At the same time, Zhu Chenxi's Enlightenment Teacher's Teaching Place became popular in Sanshui County.
The threshold of the teacher's house was almost broken by people, and the yard was filled with students and parents sending their children to school.
The teacher and the cook were both at a loss as to how to deal with the matter.
After considering for a long time, they decided to reject all the extra students.
It was within his expectation that Chenxi would pass the imperial examination, but it was beyond his expectation that he would get such a high ranking in his first attempt at the exam.
This fifty-year-old man has also benefited from this and now has quite a few students and tutors.
The students who were admitted were naturally happy, but those students and parents who were not accepted were not so happy.
They shook their heads and sighed, looking lonely.
After the teacher sent the people away, he gathered the children together to share this great news that had already spread.
Although Zhou Mingjie and Zhou Mingyuan had heard about it before, they did not know the details.
When the teacher mentioned it, they both pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
I have to say, my uncle is really amazing. He answered questions in front of the emperor without any fear.
If it were them, they would definitely be scared to pee their pants!
The two boys sitting below were exchanging glances with each other. The teacher on the podium noticed it but didn't say anything to them.
After all, they are their relatives, so it is normal to be a little excited.

After such a long time, the yogurt and sour cheese made by Zhou Mingshu are edible.
Zhou Mingqin drinks a bowl of soup every day when she feels greasy. It can stimulate her appetite and make her feel more comfortable.
In order to ensure that Zhou Mingqin could eat normally, Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi would research food for her when they had nothing to do.
It just so happened that the family’s sweet soup shop was about to open, and they were just preparing recipes and making them all together.
Zhou Mingqin could also try the new food.
"You've made so many delicious dishes. It would be a waste if you only gave them to me. Leave some for grandma and the others."
Zhou Mingqin looked at the bottles and jars on the long table, white, black, brown, square, long, round... all kinds of strange shapes.
"Big sister, I just had the same idea. We made a lot of things today, so my second sister and I recorded the amount, texture, and taste of each thing in a book so that it will be convenient for us to make them later. What we can't finish will be sent to grandma and the others."
Zhou Mingshu also had a selfish motive. She would make more and give some to the adults later.
My adult loves sweets. He has tried this milk tea before and said it tastes good.
Now that she has developed so many side dishes, she has to send him a few bowls at least.
"Sister, although these things taste good, you can't eat too much. It's easy to gain weight, and then you will be very heavy."
"Okay, I get it. I'll just try it."
There are many flower names in the sweet water book. All of them use the flowers in the flower garden as raw materials, and the cakes and sweet water that can be made are recorded one by one in the book.
The names on the booklet were a bit messy and arranged in no particular order.
But when Zhou Mingqin looked at them one by one, the name of each dish reminded her of one or two flowers, making her feel that each dish seemed delicious.
The sweet soup shop that San Ya is going to open will definitely become popular.
She looked up at Zhou Mingqi, who had flour on his cheek, and smiled dotingly.
"You two little greedy cats, I didn't know what kind of sweet soup shop you were messing with before, but now I understand. These things are both beautiful and delicious, and they will definitely be welcomed by the young girls and servants."
"Of course. Sanya's ideas are always good. This sweet water business will definitely succeed."
Zhou Mingqi was carefully rolling the glutinous rice balls in his hands, and was very much looking forward to the future business.
But after thinking about it, she still felt a little regretful.
"Alas, our Lianglin Village is really too remote. If we were near a town or a county seat, we would put our sweet drinks on the counter and they would be sold out quickly without us even having to call for them."
Seeing how confident she was, Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingshu both laughed.
"What are you laughing at? I'm telling you the truth."
"Second sister, it's not that I don't believe you, I just think it's good to have this kind of confidence. We need this kind of morale."
Zhou Mingshu talked to them and quickly took out the food box in his hand.
In a short while, she made several bowls of sweet water with different flavors, packed them up, and rode away on the gold.
As soon as she left, Zhou Mingqi pulled Zhou Mingqin aside and started gossiping.
"San Ya is acting strange today. Why is she so solemn in sending some sweet water to grandma and dad? She even re-braided her hair. I think she went to meet her lover in secret."
"Go, what are you talking about..."
Zhou Mingqin patted her sister on the shoulder and told her to shut up.
There are many people in the family, and they all have many gossips. If something bad is spread, it will affect San Ya's reputation.
"Sister, I'm being careful."
"No matter how quiet the sound is, it won't do!"
The two sisters leaned against each other, whispering.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. How do you feel in your stomach now?"
The topic changed so quickly that Zhou Mingqin almost didn't react...
When Zhou Mingshu rode his horse past his restaurant, he did not stop at all. Instead, he tightened the reins to make the horse run faster.
