With Boss Yang's kind invitation, Chen Nian agreed without much hesitation, because this is more in line with Chen Nian's plan. Although it is not ruled out that the other party will find someone to learn from him, even if he steals his master, he will not be able to learn well in a short time.

The reason why I can learn so quickly is that I already have a sufficient foundation in knife skills.

Even so, it is still easy to cut the hand when you are anxious.

Therefore, unless the master of Ruyi Building takes action, I can’t learn it for a while. I don’t care if I mix soup and thicken the old age group, it’s not difficult to do this. I guess a cook with some ability will do it.

And even if the master comes to learn secretly, why doesn’t Chen Nian learn the other party’s abilities secretly?

You think you may make a fortune, but I definitely don't lose.

Moreover, the tofu made by Aged is gypsum tofu. Logically speaking, the method of gypsum tofu should have been studied in history around the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

But Daxia does not.

Still just brine tofu.

Of course, Chen Nian clearly told the other party about this point that it is OK to make Wensi tofu, but the tofu must be sold in his own store, otherwise the taste will not be the same if it is made differently.

And now Chen Nian has started to study internal fat tofu, and it is estimated that it can be done after a period of experiments.

After returning in the morning, Chen Nian informed Fu Xin about the news.

Fu Xin was not surprised when he heard this: "I just told you why when he was in Taoyuan, Yang Chiqing was always flirting with you. It turned out that he had this idea. It was a good idea. How much is the monthly money?"

"Five taels."

Fu Xin: "????"

"How many? Five taels? You are so developed!" Fu Xin couldn't help but be dumbfounded. After passing the exam, he had about so much salary and some benefits. As a result, Chen Nian jumped directly from a tofu seller who was five taels a month.

"Brother Chen, it seems that you can get a good wife in one year!"

Chen Nian smiled and said, "Stop talking about me, but you, why do you still look so shabby when you get along with Xiao Mudan? You have to buy a messy version of the prints with Zhang Fugui?"

Who knew that Fu Xin smiled.

"She wants to give it to me, but I rejected it." Fu Xin said, "A real man should strive for self-improvement. Why do you rely on women? Besides, I am just a poor scholar now. It is not certain whether I can pass the exam. If I take Xiao Mudan's money and fail the exam in the future, how can I face her?"

Chen Nian thought that there were so many poor scholars who had passed the exam by relying on the drama girl, but turned around and turned against others.

Unexpectedly, Fu Xin is quite strong.

"But even so, if you can read more books, your chances of passing the exam will be greater."

"No, according to Brother Chen's words, this is my principle."

"Okay, okay, principle." Chen Nian no longer said this to the other party. After all, even if you go to work, you have to be tomorrow. Today's tofu must be sold out first.

In Daxia, the exam is divided into three levels.

First-level state examination.

First-level provincial examination.

First-class palace examination.

Moreover, the imperial examination is once every three years. This year, a new imperial examination is about to be launched.

In the autumn of this year, the states conducted the examinations, and in the spring of the following year, the Ministry of Rites held the examinations. The provincial examinations were held that year.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the state test.

That morning, Chen Nian got up in the morning and made a bowl of Wensi tofu made from broth made of chicken skeleton for Fu Xin. In addition, he went out to buy three buns and came back.

In addition, I also bought some cakes. After all, this exam will last for a day, and eating something will not make you hungry.

Fu Xin sipped three times a bun, and after eating it, he drank a big sip of soup.

"Brother Chen, today I took the three Da Jingyi exams, but after eating the tofu soup you made, I feel much more confident now."

Chen Nian smiled: "It's good to have confidence. I have learned a dish at Ruyilou during this period. If you can pass these three days of state examination, I will give you a celebration banquet in the future!"

"One word is determined."

During these three days, Chen Nian basically did not disturb the other party except for cooking in the morning and evening.

Moreover, since the beginning of the exam, Fu Xin did not go to find Xiao Mudan again and did not go to Taoyuan to listen to opera.

Chen Nian is now busier than before. The tofu he made every day is basically sold for a small part and sent to Tianning Temple. The rest must be taken to Ruyi Building.

Ruyilou also sends people to pick up tofu every morning.

It was at this time that Chen Nian followed the other party.

In the kitchen of Ruyi Building, Chen Nian gets along very well with other chefs, because Chen Nian does not shy away from them when cooking.

The kitchen knife flew, and the Wensi tofu soup was taken out one by one.

The reputation of Ruyi Tower has once again resounded in Yangzhou. At the same time, Chen Nian also became a celebrity in the Yangzhou City Gouyu circle.

If you want to drink tofu soup, you have to go to Ruyilou.

But there is also a rule for making this tofu soup in old age, that is, in each bowl of tofu soup, a large piece of tofu must be included in it, except for the tofu that is cut as thin as hair.

Yang Chiqing also asked Chen Nian.

"I learned this dish from Master Wensi. Master Wensi is my master, so I naturally cannot be as good as the master, so I have to keep this piece, because in this way, those who know about it will know that the best tofu soup must be in Tianning Temple."

Of course, this reason was said by Chen Nian a few times.

But the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. Yang Chiqing took this reason seriously and felt that there was no problem with this reason.

Very reasonable.

Later, the story was even spread.

While diners sighed that the aged and respectful teachers and valuing the teachings of this dish, they also gave new metaphors to this dish.

That large piece of tofu is like a mountain.

And the tofu shreds around it were like clouds.

If the perfect version of tofu soup is vast and unpredictable, then this old version of tofu soup is clouds and mist that covers the mountains.

After hearing this explanation, Chen Nian also felt that these people were all like class representatives.

However, this also saved Chen Nian a lot of trouble.

Moreover, during this period, Chen Nian learned two more dishes with his amazing observation and learning ability.

Large boiled dried shredded squirrel mandarin fish.

But it’s okay to cook dried shredded pork, and after trying it a few times, it can be perfect, but the squirrel and mandarin fish are still almost the same.

After another period of time, good news came from Fu Xin.

Yangzhou released the results and his state test passed.

And it's third place.

A complete provincial examination.
Chapter completed!
