Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 406
Early the next morning, the wide Imperial Street was bustling with people.

The entire street was guarded by officers and soldiers on both sides. Behind the officers and soldiers were rows of desks. Behind the desks sat students of the Taixue School wearing shirts and square scarves.

At this time, a stack of papers was piled up in front of every Taixue student, and the common people were waiting in line to come forward and fill in their opinions.

Wen Shu looked at the crowd for a while, then directly dragged Wang Ling to Fan Zhengqing.

They came early, and they were at the front of the line. There were only four people in front of them, so it was their turn soon.

Looking up again, he found that the person opposite was Wen Shu. Fan Zhengqing was surprised at first, and then a little bit more happy, "The little lady is here too."

Wen Shu nodded and greeted him: "Fan Langjun."

Fan Zhengqing Qinglang smiled, and then handed over the pen in a businesslike manner: "What's your opinion, little lady? Sign on the left for a heavy sentence, and sign on the right for release and return home. If you have other opinions, you can also tell me, and I will write it down for you." .”

"Of course it is to be released and go home." Wen Shu said lightly, picked up a pen and signed his name on the right, and pressed his fingerprint.

"I think so too, there is justice in this world." Fan Zhengqing's faint voice suddenly came over.

Wen Shu was startled for a moment, then smiled.

The next one was Wang Ling. Fan Zhengqing explained the items to fill in as usual. Because she couldn't write, Fan Zhengqing signed the signature, but he had to press the fingerprints himself.

Just after Wang Ling pressed her fingerprints, there was a sudden strong wind between the sky and the earth, and the paper that could not be pressed in the future was blown away by the strong wind.

Hundreds of ribbons were carried by the strong wind, and after the strong wind receded, they fluttered to the ground, like a rain of ribbons, like a dream.

This spectacle immediately made the people forget what they were doing, and they all opened their hands curiously to catch the fallen ribbon.

Not to be outdone, Wang Ling reached out and grabbed a yellow ribbon. After looking carefully, she found that there were words written on the ribbon.

"Baiwei Tea Shop, Emperor Terrace Ganquan."

"what does it mean?"

The eight words Liao Liao made people puzzled, but it also aroused the curiosity of more people.

After all, the strangeness of this strong wind, the ribbon that came with the wind is even more imaginative.

"I know, I know, a note was brought into my house yesterday, and the same was written on the note." Someone in the crowd suddenly responded.

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned to him.

"Tell me carefully, what's going on?"

It was the first time he became the focus of the crowd, the man immediately puffed up his chest, and explained the ins and outs of the incident in detail.

When the masses hear it, is there such a good thing?

They all whispered to the people around them, discussing whether they should fill in their opinions later, and go to see the tea shop first.

Even Wang Ling was very interested, and she dragged Wen Shu to discuss in a low voice whether she should go to the tea shop.

Wen Shu smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Okay, it's okay to have a look, anyway, I don't need money."

This remark hit the hearts of many people, and many nearby people who wanted to go but were too embarrassed to say so clamored to go and have a look.

The herd mentality is the same in ancient and modern times.

It was already the first hour of the day when we arrived at the tea shop.
When everyone arrived, a formation had already been set up at the entrance of the tea shop. Three tables stood side by side under the big banyan tree. On the middle table was a log-colored box with a closed lid, so it was hard to see what was inside.

Both sides of the box are full of bottles and cans, with 'Ditai Spring Water' written on one side and 'Peach Red Shenshui' written on the other.

At this time, there was already a circle of people outside the tea shop, all of them were people from the nearby villages. They didn't know what was announced in the city, but they had been looking forward to the Emperor Terrace spring water launched by the tea shop for a long time.

"I suddenly have a stomachache. You watch here first. I'll go to the back of the tea shop to see if there is a toilet. I'll be back in a while."

Seeing Mrs. Zhao standing at the door in disbelief, Wen Shu hurriedly found an excuse to leave Wang Ling's side temporarily.

When he got to the back of the tea shop, seeing no one was paying attention, Wen Shu hurriedly walked into the back room, changed into a set of clothes that he didn't usually wear in the room, put on the veil and hat, and then went to the front hall.

Because Wang Ling was outside, in order not to reveal her identity, Wen Shu didn't speak directly, but walked to Mrs. Zhao and confessed a few words in a soft voice.

Lady Zhao nodded her head again and again, with a look of understanding, and then went back to the back room to change her clothes and return to Wang Ling's side.

In fact, the preparations and explanations that should be made were done by Wen Shu early in the morning. She came to the tea shop first to make preparations before returning to the city to go to Yujie with Wang Ling.

So at this time, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

"Come back so soon, have you found the toilet?"

"I turned around and didn't see it. It just so happens that my stomach doesn't hurt anymore. Forget it, let's watch the fun."

Wang Ling nodded, and then gossiped: "You don't know, just after you left, a little lady came out from behind, she looks a bit similar to you."

Wen Shu paused, but smiled and said, "Really, what does it look like, is it pretty?"

"I'm wearing a veiled hat, I can't see her face clearly, but she should be a beauty. According to the person in front, she seems to be the owner of the tea shop." Wang Ling said enviously: "Looking at the figure, she should be about the same age as us. I’m already the owner, and I only have a small stall.”

"What's the matter, after my father's matter is over, let's open a shop outside the city, I sell food, you sell rouge, how about it?"

"It's okay to sell the food outside the city, but can the rouge be sold outside the city?" Wang Ling expressed doubts.

"How do you know if you don't try it? If you want to be a boss, you have to think about it and do it."

"It makes sense, let's discuss it later."

"Well, listen quickly, let's talk, let's talk." Wen Shu's excited look fit her usual personality of joining in the fun.

Wang Ling's mind was also pulled back to the teahouse by her.

"Fathers and elders, the Emperor Terrace spring water suddenly appeared in the Baiwei Tea Shop, and the God of the Emperor Terrace entrusted Meng Fang to know that it can cure heart disease. The Baiwei Tea Shop is opened here, and it has been taken care of by the folks. In order to give back to everyone, today I will donate the spring water to people with heart diseases. Everyone, please tell me, okay?"

"Good!" The people onlookers cheered repeatedly.

However, at this time, Mrs. Zhao said again: "But because the spring water is limited, there are only [-] bottles, so there is no way for everyone to give it away. To be fair, the destination of the [-] bottles of spring water is determined by the gods. , Do you have any comments?"

Now the voices of the onlookers were not as loud as they were at the beginning, especially those who came out with Wen Shu.

It turned out that there were only a hundred bottles, but I thought there were many.There were not four or five hundred people present, but three or two hundred, so it could be my turn.

However, there is no way to do this, and it remains to be seen whether the spring water is useful, so let's take a look.

"Okay, then how do we choose this predestined person?" asked the person who knew the news yesterday.

"Did you see the wooden box on the table? This is the way the gods choose destined people." Mrs. Zhao went to the wooden box and opened the lid for everyone to watch.
