Chapter 196 Deadlock

Now that the Imperial College Monthly Examination is around the corner, Gongsheng students can’t wait to do so.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy.

In order to avoid being dismissed by the Imperial College, all the Gongsheng students were in a hurry. In addition to going to the bookstore to buy some test papers and sample essays, the rest of their time was spent writing eight-legged essays.

I wish I had my head hanging off my head and my buttocks stabbed, reading without sleeping for twelve hours a day, how can I even take care of eating.

In addition, the weather is hot, so every meal is basically a mess. Many people suffer from stomach problems due to irregular meals and staying up late.

Speaking of which, although everyone in the capital is just a Gongsheng whose grandma is not close to him and his uncle does not love him, and is looked down upon by everyone, in his hometown, these are all pampered young masters!

Who doesn’t have hundreds or thousands of acres of paddy fields?

Naturally, young men can't get used to the meat buns and noodles with watery soup on the streets, and they really can't stand it after a long time.

Therefore, Gongsheng students still like to go out to restaurants, but they have to save time when going to a restaurant, and everyone is walking with wind.

But now that they have this shop, the eyes of several Gongshengs lit up, and Bai Gongsheng, who had eaten and drank enough, burped...

Doesn’t this solve a big problem?

Several of his classmates also started talking about it, and they discussed that everyone would pool together two coins and send someone to order food from that strange shop called Biianfang early tomorrow morning.

Everyone only needs to order food every morning, and then a few classmates will wait in the inn to eat without leaving home.

Not long after, several compliments sounded in the guest room.

"Wonderful!"

"good!"

So amid the praises, the Gongsheng students seemed to have seen the great savior, and began to discuss in whispers: "Let's arrange the shifts."

Another advantage of this cheap food delivery service is that only one person is sent every day, and everyone takes turns ordering food, which saves time and effort.

"Ok, deal!"

As the room became noisy, several classmates who were studying hard in the next room were alerted. They put down their books and brushes and ran over to join in the fun.

"What's the fuss about?"

Things like this always spread extremely quickly.

Faced with the questions from their classmates, Bai Gongsheng and the others began to talk with joy: "Brother, I don't know, we encountered a strange thing today!"

As Bai Gongsheng said everything, he picked up the leftover lunch box on the table and showed it off, and the classmates all started to admire it.

"Oh...there is such a thing. Brother Bai, please tell me in detail!"

After another moment.

It was passed down to ten, and all the Gongshengs boarding in the inn were moved by the ingenious sales method of the entire cheap shop.

Then another morning came.

The sun rises from the east as usual. When the sunlight shines through the window lattice, there is a trace of movement in the three-story building.

In the private room, Shen Lie, who was staying here for the night, stood up from the bed, lowered his head and patted the maid who was sleeping soundly in his arms.

Because there was something on their minds, the master and the servant slept together with their clothes on last night, and fell asleep together unconsciously. When they woke up, it was already bright.

Following Shen Lie's gentle call, Yun'er hurriedly got up as usual, rubbed her eyes and said, "Is it dawn yet, Master?"

Shen Lie responded: "Yeah."

After watching her arrange her skirt and hairpin, Shen Lie walked to the window, opened the window lattice, and looked at the empty street outside with clear eyes.

Opposite, the gates of Beizhen Fusi are still closed, and the streets are lined with trees.

Shen Lie stood by the window in silence, expecting something.

What comes out on paper will eventually feel shallow.

Shen Lie frowned slightly and said he was lying if he said he wasn't worried.

Now that the cost of four to five hundred taels of silver has been invested, if the situation cannot be opened for a long time and people's hearts are gone, it will be difficult to lead the team.

The key is that this is the emperor’s money!

So Shen Lie stood in front of the bed for half an hour, until it got dark, and the front of the store was still empty.

Only the eye-catching sign with the word "meal" shining brightly under the rising sun seemed to mock his innocence and stupidity.

In this era when most people still don't have enough to eat and are scrambling for food, rice, oil and salt, why order and deliver food?

Shen Lie touched his head helplessly and murmured to himself: "Isn't it still possible?"

Could it be that he has really taken too big a step and is screwing up...

With this thought in his mind, Shen Lie was about to turn around and leave.

But at this moment.

A hurried figure appeared in the field of vision. Under Shen Lie's expectant gaze, the man walked directly to the sign with the word "dining".

Then the man looked at the closed door with some surprise, and actually walked up and knocked on the door again, and the sound of knocking on the door reached his ears.

Shen Lie was stunned and recognized this person on the spot. Isn't this Mr. Gongsheng from yesterday?

I watched Mr. Gongsheng knocking on the door and looking around in front of the store.

Shen Lie felt happy and hurriedly poked his head out of the window on the third floor and said hello: "Hey... this guest officer, please wait a moment!"

Gongsheng raised his head and saw Shen Lie, and waved to Shen Lie again.

Shen Lie was stunned again, and couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart. He quickly greeted Yun'er and then rushed downstairs in three steps at a time.

What are you still doing?

Open the door!

The heavy door slowly opened, and Shen Lie greeted the tall and thin Gongsheng student with a smile on his face and invited him into the store.

After some simple greetings, as Shen Lie handed over the cardboard and charcoal pens for ordering, Na Gongsheng walked straight to the wall covered with wooden signs and began to select the dishes.

Once alive, twice mature.

As expected of Mr. Gongsheng, a highly educated man, he has become proficient in ordering food and looks decent.

"Let's have a white chopped chicken, a stir-fried lamb tripe, and three bamboo leaf porridge..."

The Gongsheng hurriedly ordered the meal, asked the price, took out two coins, paid the bill, left a word and hurried away.

"Excuse me, shopkeeper, I'd better send you to the Yuelai Inn opposite the Imperial College at noon."

Shen Lie quickly responded: "Okay!"

As Mr. Gongsheng left in a hurry, Shen Lie walked all the way to the gate and waved at the hurried back of Mr. Gongsheng.

Then Shen Lie showed a bright smile and said loudly: "Master Gongsheng, please walk slowly... come again!"

Turn around.

Shen Lie quickly walked into the store. He couldn't help but feel excited. He habitually extended his hand to his adopted sister Yue Xuan'er, who had just gotten up and was doing abacus at the counter.

Yue Xuan'er was stunned for a moment, looking at Shen Lie's outstretched hand with some confusion. His bright eyes turned, and he soon understood, and raised his slender hand high.

Celebrate with high fives from Shen Lie.

"hehe."

Shen Lie laughed loudly: "Hahaha!"

Yue Xuan'er's pretty face blushed slightly, looking at him as happy as a child, she covered her mouth with her delicate white hands and snickered.

For more than an hour after that, several Gongsheng students hurried into the store one after another and were busy asking the waiters about ordering and delivering food.
