Chapter 315
August NO.12 is the day when the trial case is released.

And NO.11, Chang Dahai came here early this morning, saying that Lan Xi had been struggling with the exams recently, so he specially reserved a table at Manxianglou, so he invited them over.

Chang Erhai couldn't refuse, so he had to take Lan Xi with him.

When Chang Erhai and Lan Xi arrived, Manxianglou was already overcrowded. Chang Erhai was obviously not used to it, but Lan Xi was generous.

The first floor was full of seats, and many of them were students rushing for the exam. Lan Xi's eyes flickered when he saw the dish on his table and the way they talked about it.

Lan Xi summoned the waiter who was busy in the lobby, and reported the names of Chang Dahai and Chang Wenqing, and then the waiter took Lan Xi and Chang Dahai to a private room on the second floor.

At this time, Chang Dahai and Chang Wenqing were already sitting inside. Seeing Lan Xi coming in, Chang Dahai stood up and greeted them with a smile. As for Chang Wenqing, he didn't even bother to stand up.

"Second Brother, Wenxuan, you guys are counting. Wenxuan has also worked hard in the exams recently, and even though we are in Fucheng, we have no chance to meet each other, so we just took this opportunity to get together." Chang Dahai still said very well.

Chang Erhai smiled honestly, "Brother, you are too far-fetched, I should be the one to invite you, and I have troubled you for the exam at Wenxuan Mansion."

Chang Dahai and the two brothers tried their best to evade the situation, but there was no result. Lan Xi stood aside with a smile on his face.

After a few people were seated, the waiter in the shop started serving food after a while.

When a dish that Lan Xi was familiar with was brought out, Chang Wenqing looked at Lan Xi a few more times, and put the red dish mixed with golden yellow in front of Lan Xi.

Lan Xi looked up at him, he would never believe that Chang Wenqing would be so kind.

"Brother, this is a new dish launched by Xiangmanlou recently. There is a limited supply every day. You don't usually have the chance to eat it. You should try more today."

Chang Wenqing is now acting more and more ostentatiously, what he said before was a little low-key, ever since he showed his true colors on Lan Xi's face, he has not bothered to pretend, and he does not hide the emotion in his eyes.

Said bluntly that Lan Xi, a bumpkin, can't usually eat such a good meal.

Lan Xi smiled slightly, picked up a piece with chopsticks without making a recommendation.

Before Lan Xi could speak, he took the initiative to introduce,

"This dish is called tomato scrambled eggs. Although the name is simple, this dish costs one tael of silver, but most people can't eat it if they want to eat it."

Chang Wenqing couldn't hide the pride in his words, as if this dish was made by him, but it seems that this dish really has something to do with him.

This is the tomato that is very common in modern times, but it has not been discovered in this dynasty, and now it is brought to the dinner table. In addition, there is a cooperation between the Chang family and Manxianglou, which should be due to Chang Qiaoer.

But now that tomatoes and eggs have come out, I believe other dishes are not far away. Thinking of this, a thought flashed in Lan Xi's mind.

After Chang Erhai heard it, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's a tael of silver for this thing, isn't it a money grab?"

At this time, Chang Dahai looked at Chang Erhai with a hint of sarcasm, and even looked down upon him.

As Chang Dahai gradually came into contact with people in the county and the prefecture, his circle of intersection was also slowly expanding, and he obviously looked down on his second brother's yelling with a peasant style.

But he also forgot that he used to be like this.

At this time, Lan Xi put down the chopsticks with her slender fingers, and then commented,
"The taste of this dish is a bit sour, the eggs are a bit mushy, and the oil is a bit too much, and there is nothing wrong with it. If the second brother wants to eat it, just take it."

Then he looked at Chang Wenqing with an innocent face. To be honest, Lan Xi ate too many tomatoes, so he could naturally taste the taste. It was obvious that the tomatoes and the frying method were not up to standard, not even as good as modern home-cooked dishes.

And these words immediately made Chang Wenqing anxious.

"Brother has never seen the world, so you can't belittle this dish like this, but you know that this dish has even been praised by the nobles in the capital. Is it true that elder brother's tongue is more precious than nobles?"

Lan Xi took a sip of water from the teacup, "The nobles in the capital think mud is delicious, so does my second brother think so too."

These words are almost blatantly calling him a dog leg.

Chang Erhai didn't intervene when he saw the quarrel between the two. After all, he thought that bickering between children was a common occurrence.

As for Chang Dahai, he knew that his son was arrogant, and he didn't need to help him, otherwise it would only make him angrier, otherwise he would not agree with his son's words today and invite Lan Xi and the two to dinner.

Chang Wenqing was suddenly out of breath. Thinking of something, he took out a small mirror from his pocket.

"Brother, why don't you take a picture of yourself and see your own face clearly, so as not to be ignorant of the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth."

Lan Xi looked at the small mirror, and the mirror surface was actually very clear. Although it was a little different from the modern times, it was obviously beyond this era. You must know that only wealthy families can use bronze mirrors. Lan Xi still understands this point. So I bought myself a bronze mirror with great pain, and the bronze mirror could barely see the face clearly.

"This has been handed down from the capital. Now there are not many in the prefecture, not even some officials' families. This is thanks to the acquaintance of the eldest sister and the owner of the shop."

Lan Xi smiled slightly, "Oh, that big sister is really amazing, you should learn more from her in the future."

"I still need you to talk nonsense here." Without seeing Lan Xi's imagined envy, and even showing no expression, it was like punching cotton, Chang Wenqing's heart was on fire.

I don't know the taste of a meal, but Lan Xi's food is quite good. Not to mention, this sauced duck has a soft and rich taste.

After the meal, Lan Xi and Chang Erhai were ready to leave.

But Lan Xi didn't leave directly, but instead summoned the shop waiter, "Brother, please ask, do you sell these tomatoes?"

Xiaoer was also very embarrassed, but Chang Wenqing beside him couldn't help laughing at Lan Xi's behavior in his heart, he said it was bad, but his body was very honest.

"Guest officer, I don't know about this either, why don't I ask the shopkeeper?" Xiao Er said with some embarrassment.

"Then trouble brother!"

Xiao Er was flattered by Lan Xi's politeness, and then hurried to ask the shopkeeper for instructions.

Not long after, the shopkeeper brought six tomatoes and said politely,

"The young master prefers tomatoes, which makes the old man very flattered, but there are not many restaurants, only these six are given to the young master."

Lan Xi looked at the bright-eyed tomatoes on the tray, and didn't have the idea of ​​taking advantage of them. According to the current price, she gave two taels of silver.

Then Lan Xi and Chang Erhai returned to the inn.

Chang Erhai didn't know what Lan Xi wanted to buy tomatoes, and he didn't touch that dish much when he was at the dinner table.

Lan Xi didn't eat it. The six tomatoes were almost ripe. He fetched a basin of water, crushed the tomatoes, rinsed them again and again, and then got a little bit of seeds.

Lan Xi then put the seeds by the window to dry.

These seeds are not enough, it seems that we need to collect more seeds.
