I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food
Chapter 155: Visiting the Bookstore
With the idea of learning, the three of them tried it. Although it was still the same two things, the taste was instantly enriched. The rattles and thin pork belly were rolled together alternately. The rattles were full of juice, and the pork belly was evenly fat and lean. With the refreshing dipping sauce, it was extremely satisfying to take a bite.
The three of them were teenagers with big appetites. After finishing everything, they were only about eight-tenths full.
"How about three more plates of chopped pepper fish head? I think it's cooked quite well." Shi Ruofeng asked while looking at the fish heads that had just been served on other tables.
"I think it's okay," Lin Shaoyu said.
Bai Yuqing shook his head and refused. He felt that the current level of fullness was just right.
Shi Ruofeng raised his hand and waited for Zhang Shan to come over and tell him what they needed.
Soon, two plates of fish heads arrived.
Shi Ruofeng looked at the delicious dishes in front of him and was about to eat them with relish. Then he thought of something and tilted his head to ask, "Brother Yuqing, do you want to try it?"
"No, just eat it," Bai Yuqing smiled and declined.
Shi Ruofeng then ate without hesitation. With one chopstick, he found both fish and chili peppers. He chewed and savored them slowly, and discussed with Lin Shaoyu, who was also eating happily across from him, "It doesn't smell fishy at all, and it's soft and fluffy."
"Yes, the chopped peppers are quite flavorful and the overall cooking is of a high standard. It's a pity that Brother Yuqing didn't get to taste them."
"It's okay, I'll come next time and taste it again," Bai Yuqing saw that the two people's mouths were red from the spicy food, so he rolled up his sleeves and poured each of them a cup of free sour plum soup provided by the store.
Shi Ruofeng took it, thanked him, and drank it in one gulp. It was cool and really helped relieve the spiciness.
By the time they finished eating the fish head, Bai Yuqing had already paid the bill, and the three of them slowly walked out of the hot pot restaurant.
"Where are we going?" Shi Ruofeng shivered in the cold wind, looked at the streets on both sides, and asked uncertainly.
Before they got together, they only considered where to eat, but had not yet decided what to do after the meal.
Every time, I would send a servant to pass on the message. Don’t worry about where to go first, the main thing is to get out, and then decide where to go.
If one person does not come out, then the place to go will be immediately decided, and that person will be the one who cannot come out.
"Why don't we go to Linlangzhai and have a look? I wonder if there are any new antiques there recently." Lin Shaoyu suggested.
"Forget it. I have to buy something every time I go there, and I don't have much money with me today."
Shi Ruofeng shook his head. He was in a hurry to go out, so he just picked up a purse. When he opened it, he found that most of the money in it was copper coins. He was really short of money.
"I have this, I'll lend it to you," Bai Yuqing patted the purse on his waist, which was still bulging even after paying for the meal.
"Goodbye, let's go to another place," Shi Ruofeng felt miserable. He might not be able to pay back the money he borrowed. Before he went to the provincial capital to study, his father gave him a big bag of silver and a few banknotes, fearing that it would not be enough.
Actually, after he got there, he didn't spend much money on other places. He used it all to find delicious food. After all, compared with the county, the capital city was more prosperous and had more variety, but the prices were also higher.
After a few months, his money was almost gone, his wallet was empty, and he had gained weight. He was not thin to begin with, but rather a delicate and slightly plump type, and now he had become even fatter. Fortunately, he was fair-skinned, so he did not look ugly.
The winter clothes he was wearing were made by his mother in advance according to his previous body shape. Now he had a hard time getting them into his clothes. After eating, his stomach felt even tighter.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously touched his abdomen, took a deep breath, and still felt no shrinkage, so he had no choice but to relax.
"How about going to a teahouse to listen to a book?"
"Let's go to the bookstore and read a book. It's quieter," Bai Yuqing frowned as he thought of the scene in the teahouse.
Shi Ruofeng and Lin Shaoyu had no objection. Since they had decided on a place, the three of them walked towards the bookstore.
There are quite a lot of people in the bookstore. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, not only the county school but also the students in private schools are on holiday. Those who don’t want to waste their time will choose to come here to read books and exchange knowledge with others.
Not long after the three of them entered the bookstore, a former classmate noticed them. Considering the need to remain quiet, the man calmed down his excitement, walked up to the three of them, bowed to each other, and then asked in a low voice about the three of them's school situation.
Bai Yuqing and the other two gave a brief introduction, and the man couldn't help but show a look of longing on his face as he listened.
The provincial school not only represents better education, but also gathers more outstanding talents. Being able to go there means being one step closer to being admitted to the imperial examination.
As a scholar, it is almost everyone's dream to pass the imperial examination and become an official and get promoted. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people just want to become talented people and are not interested in being an official. Instead, being an official is a kind of constraint for them.
Hearing each other's envy and praise, the three of them couldn't help but encourage that person.
Some of the other people in the bookstore had witnessed their success in the imperial examination, so they naturally recognized them. Regardless of their motives, they all chose to come up and chat with them.
The three of them were at ease at first, but later they couldn't keep their smiles on and wanted to leave immediately. However, when they saw the expectant eyes of the people waiting, they patiently chose to continue.
When the three of them were finally able to be quiet for a while, they realized that their faces were stiff.
The bookstore provided free tea, so the three of them found a place to sit down, moistened their mouths with tea, and then carefully put the teacups away to avoid spilling the tea and dirtying the books.
They have been taught since childhood to take good care of books, not only because books are expensive, but also because it shows respect for knowledge.
Even if the book has become old after being read many times, it is still clean and the annotations are neat.
Behavior like rubbing the corner of a book out of boredom, drawing a picture on the cover, or tearing off a page to fold something into it is absolutely unacceptable. At the very least, you will be scolded, and at worst, you may be expelled from school.
It got dark early, and after a short rest, the three of them set out for a restaurant, having almost digested the food in their stomachs.
Shi Ruofeng stepped into the shop he had not visited for a long time. Without paying attention to today's dishes, the first thing he did was to look around.
When he saw the two pieces of calligraphy hanging on the wall, he straightened his chest, was very satisfied, smiled, and walked towards the table where the smell of food was the strongest.
Xu Si had just finished serving food to the previous customer when he looked up and saw the three people. He asked in surprise, "Hey, you're back?"
"Yes, I've been back for a few days. I missed this taste, so I came to the restaurant after taking some time off." Shi Ruofeng answered while checking the dishes.
Xu Si understood that the journey must have been tiring. After all, he was a familiar customer. She comforted him softly, "You've worked so hard. Eat more and replenish your body."
Lin Shaoyu and Bai Yuqing also smiled and nodded to greet them. When they saw another customer lined up behind them, they immediately started to choose their dishes.
At Xu Si's recommendation, the three of them chose potatoes baked with salted egg yolk in addition to their favorite dishes. The three were not there when the salted egg yolk sauce was served, so it was quite novel to hear Xu Si talk about it now.
After the dishes were prepared, they found a place to sit down. Shi Ruofeng gestured to Lin Shaoyu to look at the copybook. The two of them smiled knowingly. The three of them enjoyed the food and were very satisfied after eating.
