Chapter 55：

Jixiang Restaurant is the property of the Wen family and is located in the most prosperous part of the capital.

Ruan Xi brought two braised ducks to the appointment.

After the test, Wen Tingzhou does not need to go to Qingshan Academy to study.

The sun was shining in the afternoon. Along the way, Ruan Xi found that the teahouses and teahouses on both sides of the street were full of customers. Most of the people coming in and out were officials and nobles or participating in the test.

Xu Shi’s meal was over, and there were only a few guests in Jixiang Restaurant. Ruan Xi’s carriage arrived in front of the restaurant, and the shopkeeper of Jixiang Restaurant came out to greet and take Ruan Xi to the designated box.

In the elegant and comfortable box, Wen Tingzhou was elegantly sipping tea, and there was a knock on the door, followed by the voice of the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

"My son, Miss Ruan Si is here."

A gentle smile appeared on Wen Tingzhou's Qingjunruyu face.

"Zhang Qing, open the door."

"Yes, son."

Zhang Qing went to open the door quickly, Miss Ruan Si's delicate eyebrows came into view, Zhang Qing smiled and respectfully invited Ruan Xi into the box.

"Miss Ruan Si, the son is already inside, please go inside."

Ruan Xi smiled, and he admired Zhang Qing's small purse filled with silver, and then took Suyu Suzhu into the box.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant retired.

Wen Tingzhou saw Ruan Xi Miaoman's figure and the exquisite food box in her hand, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were dyed a little gentle.

"Ruan Ruan, did you bring the braised duck?" The deep and clear voice was filled with joy.

"Yes, I made two braised ducks on purpose this morning. You have a good taste today."

Ruan Xi smiled slightly, carrying the food box and naturally sitting opposite Wen Tingzhou. He cut the food box into thick slices of rosy and bright braised duck and brought it out. With the secret and fragrant marinade, the whole box was filled with halogen. The smell of duck.

Zhang Qing secretly swallowed. Suyu Suzhu was okay. The two had tasted a few pieces before they came.

"Well, thanks to Ruan Nguyen, I can feast on it today."

A gleam of light flashed in Wen Tingzhou's eyes, and he couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks and clamp a piece of fresh and fragrant braised duck meat into his mouth.

"I have eaten the braised duck made by Ruan Ruan, and other braised flavors can no longer be eaten."

Ruan Xi was heartbroken and smiled brightly. She took a piece of braised duck and tasted it. Wen Tingzhou's must be the best compliment to her craft.

"Brother Ting Chau, I am not going to sell dry fried noodles. I am going to change the shop to a braised duck shop that specializes in braised duck. Then I will have to trouble Ting Chau to find two reliable cooks for braised duck and sell it."

"Will it be too hard to open a shop to sell braised duck?" Wen Tingzhou stopped the action of clamping the braised duck, frowning.

"No, in fact, the key to the deliciousness of braised duck is the marinade. In order to keep it secret, I will cook the marinade myself. It should be enough to boil a big pot every seven days." Ruan Xi smiled and said Ruan Xi Explain the speciality of the secret stewed duck recipe.

This secret brine will gradually disappear after only half a month. Unlike other people's brine that lasts for a long time and can be used repeatedly, if it is stored properly, the longer it is stored, the more mellow the flavor will be. The flavor of the brine will be brighter and tasteful. Better, it is called Laohao.

"That's good, Ruan Ruan, I have several Dazhuangzi that raise ducks in the suburbs of Beijing, and the ducks sold can be specially supplied to your braised duck shop."

Wen Tingzhou's brows loosened.

Ruan Xi looked surprised, but he didn't expect the supply of goods to be solved in this way.

"Brother Tingzhou, all the ducks raised in your Zhuangzi supply the Jixiang restaurant, but the braised duck shop I run only sells 66 braised ducks a day, so I don't need many ducks."

"Ruan Ruan, sixty-six will only be a little bit less, why don't you make up a hundred?" Wen Tingzhou gave a light cough.

Ruan Ruan’s braised duck not only looks beautiful, but also tastes top-notch. The two doctors in the grandmother’s mansion tested the marinade and the braised duck, and they were amazed. Even a grandmother’s old man can often use it. eat.

It is said that my grandmother ate two bowls of rice last night.

The news spread to Wenshang Book House, and everyone was shocked. Generally, the elderly have bad teeth and taste. For the sake of health, they can only eat light food, so Mrs. Wen's appetite has always been poor.

Wen Tingzhou can imagine how popular the braised duck restaurant will be, and one duck is hard to find.

Ruan Xi’s eyebrows were crooked: "Brother Tingzhou, I sell braised ducks at sky-high prices, but you are right. Sixty-six are indeed a bit less, so one hundred and twenty-four ducks are braised every day and sold out. One hundred, each person can only buy one, keep twenty-four."

Ruan Xi has taken all aspects into consideration. She only sells braised ducks, which is a kind of braised duck. The limit of 100 pieces is capped and the purchase is restricted, which will not have an impact on the lomei market.

Wen Tingzhou understood Ruan Ruan's meaning in a moment, and praised: "Ruan Ruan is really thoughtful."

Ruan Xi smiled, and after talking about selling braised ducks, he turned to the test. Seeing Wen Tingzhou's leisure time, he should have done well in the exam.

Wen Tingzhou acted gracefully, dipping in the marinade and eating the braised duck. Hearing Ruan Xi's question about his examination, his thoughts moved, and a smile flashed across his eyes.

"Guess Ruan Ruan can I be in the top three in high school?"

Ruan Xi took a close look at Wen Tingzhou's expression. He will be on the list tomorrow. Wen Tingzhou has a prominent family background. He must have known the ranking now. Ruan Xi smiled at his heart and looked at his handsome face with confidence.

"Big Brother Tingzhou will definitely be among the top three in high school, maybe Huiyuan may be."

Wen Tingzhou gave a chuckle, raised his eyes to meet Ruan Xi's determined eyes, and his eyes seemed to pass over her rosy lips inadvertently, and the corners of her mouth bend.

"Ruan Ruan really has confidence in me. If I will be Yuan in high school, can I make a request?"

Ruan Xi is even more sure that Wen Tingzhou is the Huiyuan for this test. The left and right are just gifts. She has experience, so she nodded very generously.

"Yes, if you can be selected as the champion after the palace exam, I will promise you one more request."

Wen Tingzhou smiled happily in his heart. He took a deep look at Ruan Xi, the smile in his eyes was deeper, meaning it was unclear.

"Then it's settled, Ruan Ruan can't go back then."

Of course Ruan Xi won't go back, just two requests, Ting Zhou will definitely not embarrass her.

"No regrets."

Wen Tingzhou was in a happy mood, like a big bad wolf tempting a little white rabbit to put it on.

The neglected Suyu Suzhu: "..."

Why do they have the illusion that the young lady will fall into the mouth?

Wen Tingzhou and Ruan Xi were eating braised duck while chatting. It didn't take long for the two to solve a delicious braised duck, and there was one left. Wen Tingzhou invited a guard to send the food box to the princess mansion.

Ruan Xi learned from Wen Tingzhou the reason why the four princes suddenly let go of Na Muqingci into the backyard.

It turns out that these days, the four princes have been paying attention to the movement of Mu's family, and the four princes are aware of Mu Qingci's situation. After learning that the Mu family will send Mu Qingci to the family temple today, the four princes decided to admit Mu Qingci into the backyard.

Ruan Xi: "..."

The poor heroine, I didn't expect the heroine to have such a miserable life these days.

If there was no such thing as Ruan Sanniang being chased and killed, the Mu family and Mu Taifei pressured their son to take a concubine, the saint would not be against Mu Taifei, and the four princes would be forced to take Mu Qing as in the book. Ci was left out in the backyard.

Now Ruan Sanniang is running a bar, the general direction of the plot has not changed, but the details have changed, which should be considered a good thing for Mu Qingci.

...

After eating the braised duck, the two left Zhang Qingsuyusuzhu in the box and left the auspicious restaurant.

Wen Tingzhou wore a big hat and lowered his eyebrows to hide his handsome face. When the coachman took Ruanxi around the capital one day, the capital was bustling and crowded. This was the first time Ruan Xi had traveled the capital so easily.

With a fiancé as a coachman, the rendezvous between the two adds a touch of romance.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to be alone, Ruan Xi approached Wen Tingzhou, opened the corner of the car and quietly talked to Wen Tingzhou about the secret recipe for braised duck, so that Wen Tingzhou had a good talk. Of course, Wen Tingzhou was willing to cooperate.

"Ruan Ruan, do you remember what happened two years ago?" Wen Tingzhou asked casually with a smile at the corner of his mouth as he drove the carriage slowly with his whip.

Ruan Xi replied, "No, why do you ask?"

"That time there was indeed a mysterious Taoist who appeared in Yunhua Temple." Wen Tingzhou's lips curled up.

Ruan Xi was stunned: "..." Wouldn't it be such a coincidence?

Wen Tingzhou actually didn't care whether Ruan Ruan remembered what happened two years ago, but now he likes Ruan Ruan, and he doesn't want Ruan Ruan to remember the scene that was a little difficult for him.

The two continued to visit the capital. A man with extraordinary temperament and a low-key and exquisite carriage were followed by a group of guards from a distance, attracting a lot of strange eyes. Some people privately speculated that the man was a noble son, and Wen Tingzhou did not care. , There is a brim to block, people who are not particularly familiar with it will not recognize it.

When passing a stall, Ruan Xi said a beautiful bead flower, Wen Tingzhou stopped the carriage and bought some bead flowers for Ruan Xi.

This scene happened to be seen by the four princes in the teahouse next to him, with a familiar profile, a familiar figure, and the carriage with a little impression. He sipped his tea lightly, his indifferent eyebrows stained with interest.

It was the first time that he had seen Zi Rungan, who was indifferent and indifferent on the surface, was working as a driver for his fiancee. It seemed that Zi Run really liked Miss Ruan Si very much.

The four princes thought of Miss Ruan Si's exquisite and stunning face, calm and elegant temperament, and unconcealed clever eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Unexpectedly, sincerity Bo's House has produced an inconsistent Miss Ruan San, she can also cultivate a woman like Miss Ruan Si.

It is said that heroes are saddened by beauty, but Zirun is not a hero but so.

To be released tomorrow, Zirun unexpectedly has a leisurely sentiment to take his fiancée to the capital.

Wen Tingzhou seemed to feel something. He raised his head and looked towards the teahouse, just in time to see the familiar cold face of the Fourth Prince.

Wen Tingzhou: "..."

"Big Brother Tingzhou, what's the matter?" Ruan Xi in the carriage happily played with a few bead flowers. Seeing Wen Tingzhou hadn't moved for a while, he asked with concern.

"It's okay, I just saw the fourth prince, and he recognized me." Wen Tingzhou retracted his gaze if nothing happened, replied calmly, and continued to drive the carriage with his riding whip.

Ruan Xi's heartbeat missed a beat, and couldn't help but grasp the bead flower in his hand. Since the fourth prince recognized Wen Tingzhou, he must have guessed her in the carriage. Ruan Xi's cheeks were hot and blushed suddenly.

Wen Tingzhou outside the carriage did not hear the movement in the carriage, but he who had learned martial arts easily noticed that Ruan Xi's breathing was a little unstable, and Wen Tingzhou smiled silently.

Except for the episode of the Four Princes, the noble son who was driving the carriage was not recognized as Wen Tingzhou for the whole afternoon. Maybe someone recognized it but didn't say it.

Ruan Xi likes this kind of tryst mode, which is not only relaxed and joyful, but also allows you to see the city view in one day.

Approaching the evening, Ruan Xi reluctantly returned to the Jixiang restaurant with Suyu Suzhu and escorted to his home in Wentingzhou.
