It has been snowing outside all morning. Although it is not heavy, it is like a piece of snow arriving from outside. The house is covered with a layer of white gauze.

The antique buildings in Yangzhou in the twelfth lunar month become even more enchanting under the snowy scenery.

Pedestrians on the road were all wrapped in thick coats, for fear that the Korean wind would get in.

But at this time, the two of Chen Nian's family were eating and even took off their coats.

The tender lamb melts in your mouth, is fragrant but not overpowering, and the meat is soft and delicate. Once you take one bite, you will feel like you are on a prairie with white snow on the ground.

I was riding a horse on the grassland, and then I felt a little cold, so I got off my horse and returned to the yurt.

My whole body felt warm instantly.

And it's not over yet.

Even though he entered it, his body still couldn't warm up quickly, so he took off his clothes and quickly got into the bed. At this time, there was already lying in the bed a woman with skin that looked like frost and snow, and her skin was like cream.

This square inch is so warm.

Turn around and hug.

It seems that the whole person has arrived in heaven and his life has been sublimated!

A mouthful of mutton and a mouthful of wine.

Later, Chen Nian took a dumpling and dipped it in the vinegar dish that he had prepared earlier. Although there was unfortunately no chili pepper, as soon as he bit open the outer skin, the juice inside instantly overflowed!

A mouthful of aroma fills your mouth!

The meat used to make dumplings is aged and the fat and lean parts are selected, and then paired with carrots.

It was as if a woman wrapped in a thick woolen coat had nothing on underneath.

People are still the same people.

But the taste is just like seeing it for the first time.

Savoring the sweet aftertaste of the mutton in their mouths, the two raised their wine glasses.

"Thank you, Brother Fugui, for telling me such precious news!"

"Thank you Brother Chen for writing a poem in my name!"

“Thanks for the snow today!”

"Thank you for the confiscation of the Zhang family!"

"Thank you, Brother Fugui, for helping me peel the garlic!"

“Thank you Brother Chen for your warm hospitality!”

"Done!"

Afterwards, the two of them raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp!

Although rice wine is not as good as the future market, under this situation, I still feel that this wine is extremely sweet as it ages. After a big bowl of wine, the lingering aftertaste will be eliminated!

In the end, Chen Nianzhi drank Zhang Fugui until he fell unconscious.

On the other hand, aging seems to be fine. Although the alcohol content of this period is not high, it is still a bit high if you drink too much.

But Zhang Fugui drank a pot and took out another can.

I got drunk while drinking, but while eating and drinking, I finally sobered up again while drinking.

"This is how life should be!" Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't know how Fu Xin is doing in the capital."

...

In the afternoon, Xiaolu came over and told Chen Nian that Yang Chiqing had expressed his love to Xiao Mudan again before, but in the end he was still declined by Xiao Mudan.

Yang Chiqing was still thinking about what to say, but Little Peony said that she already had a place in her heart.

He also said that the other party was a scholar and was currently in the capital.

After hearing this, Yang Chiqing said that he didn't care about that, but he wouldn't force it. If Little Peony wasn't interested in him, everyone could still be friends.

Then Yang Chiqing left.

Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

However, I don’t have to go to Ruyilou anymore, and I still have ten taels of silver on hand, so I can spend this winter easily and comfortably selling tofu.

Nowadays, gypsum tofu is also made. There is one kind of brine tofu and one kind of gypsum tofu every day.

In addition, there are tofu skins, and I plan to make some frozen tofu when I am older.

In the following days, aging became much easier. I made tofu every day and supplied it to Ruyilou and Tianning Temple.

Occasionally, I would stay at Wensi's place to practice cooking skills, look at Little Peony, and reject Little Green who seemed to be a little too enthusiastic about me.

But since winter came, Fu Xin never sent any letters back.

The main reason is that the family of the candidate from Fu Xin's hometown did not run away because of the arrival of winter, so they brought a batch of goods in advance and stayed in the capital for the New Year.

Therefore, when I occasionally meet Little Peony, I can still feel the loneliness and expectation in her eyes.

It's very complicated, but it makes sense.

Yang Chiqing lives up to his name, infatuated.

Although he was rejected by Little Peony, he would go to Tianning Temple every now and then to deliver something. Of course, in order to prevent Little Peony from rejecting him, he usually went to give Wensi hand-twisted incense made by famous artists, and at the same time, he would also give Little Peony a gift.

Also give some to help him sleep peacefully.

In the name of donating quilts to the temple, the little peony will not be too cold when sleeping in the winter.

Occasionally, I would bring various vegetarian dishes to Tianning Temple to meet Wensi for dinner.

Of course, every time there will be an extra portion for the little peony.

Even Xiaolu said that Mr. Yang is really a nice person. If the scholar doesn't come back in the future, he can just follow Mr. Yang.

But every time Xiao Lu said this, she would be scolded severely by Little Peony.

"How can I betray Fu Lang? He said personally that he will come back to me. As long as I live, I will wait for him!"

"Then what if he has betrayed his heart? Just like his name, in other words, Mr. Yang is called infatuated."

Little Peony bit her lip: "No, Fu Lang can't. He will definitely go to high school, then come back to me with big red flowers hanging on his body, riding a big horse, surrounded by everyone."

Xiaolu sighed.

As the days passed, Xiao Lu felt more and more uneasy.

She really wanted to be good for Little Peony. Although they were no longer their previous identities, Little Green's thoughts had not changed.

But she could only say a few words about these.

The lady has her own ideas.

But the more the lady behaves like this, the more afraid she will be that she will be disappointed.

During the Chinese New Year, it's a bit boring to be alone, but go to Tianning Temple to find Wensi. You can't eat meat there. What's the point of living the Chinese New Year when you can't eat meat?

So Chen Nian simply called Zhang Fugui.

Anyway, this guy has nothing to worry about, and he has a lot of good things.

Chen Nian made another meal of mutton dumplings, cooked a few dishes, and then asked Zhang Fugui to prepare some wine.

This year, that's how it went.

After the new year comes spring, and when spring comes, provincial examinations will begin.

Until April.

Chen Nian was buying tofu when suddenly the man who had been coming here to deliver news came again.

This time he brought news about Fu Xin.

I also passed the provincial examination.

In other words, Fu Xin has passed the exam now. The next imperial exam to meet the Emperor of Daxia will only be ranked, not eliminated.

Regardless of his ranking, Fu Xin can be an official.

And this palace examination is actually equivalent to an interview.

Regarding this assessment, Chen Nian has full confidence in Fu Xin, because he has previously given Fu Xin solutions to many current political issues.

These are all advanced question-answering techniques from later generations.

Moreover, Fu Xin is also a socially awkward person!
