Although Xie Guang'an met a enthusiastic person, which made him much more time today, it was not suitable to continue rushing.

Not to mention that there is not even a moon tonight, there are only stars in the sky, and there are no lights on the official road outside the town, only dark night. Walking outside, you can't see the road at all. Although you can distinguish the direction according to the starlight, it is very dangerous.

I forced myself to travel at night, but I may find that I had run away after dawn, or had already circled around the town.

Besides, even if you arrive at night, you can't enter the closed city gate, so it's impossible to return to Huaifeng Mansion tonight, and it's still suitable to rest in Huqiao Town for a night.

He took Xie Guang'an's cart and left to another road halfway. After getting off the bus, he met several people walking with him and became familiar with him quickly.

After arriving at Huqiao Town, he strongly recommended this mutton noodles to these peers. Everyone saw the honesty of his introduction, so they came together to try it.

"Several guests, you are here~"

The noodle stall owner came over with three thick porcelain bowls in both hands and placed them one by one for them in front of them. Then he ran another trip to make a bowl of mutton noodles be placed in front of everyone.

"Well, it's delicious."

"good."

After trying these people with Xie Guang'an, they all started to praise them as soon as they lit up their eyes.

"In the past, when passing by this Huqiao Town, I had to eat the Fuhu cake, especially the stall at the corner in front, which was indeed delicious. Unexpectedly, the mutton noodles here were not famous, but they were not as famous as here." A talker used a few more mouthfuls of noodles and praised with chopsticks.

Xie Guang'an laughed at the sound:

"I can also be considered a journey across the country, but the noodles in several nearby governments are the best here. Lao Xu is a family-born craft and has been constantly improving the recipe over the years. What I eat now is better than what I eat a few years ago."

"The noodles pulled out are as thin as cicada's wings. Although they are not as chewy as other noodles, they are still picking them up. The noodles cooked are soft and smooth and tight, and they taste clearly layered. The noodles are fresh and delicious, easy to digest and easy to fill the stomach. Whether it is the elderly or children or strong adults, they are suitable for eating."

"Maybe in some years, the famous foods in Huqiao Town will be more famous than the Fuhu cakes, and in addition to the Fuhu cakes, Lao Xu's mutton noodles will be added. At that time, many people may come to learn this craft after learning this craft, and the stall owner may be tired of it."

The noodle stall owner has good ears. After hearing this, he turned around and smiled and said, "Your guest is so happy that I am praised. This scene is great. I hope that my noodles will become a famous food in Huqiao Town in many years."

Xie Guang'an smiled and said, "It's great. Since that's the case, I will also contribute to recommending you this small stall to someone I know, just like what I did this time."

Another guest shouted, and the stall owner Lao Xu went to take care of him immediately.

A person next to him asked Xie Guang'an: "Old Xie, do you know this stall owner?"

"Well, it's not considered acquaintance. I've been running between Huaifeng Mansion and Long'an Mansion for many years. Every time I go from Long'an Mansion to Huaifeng Mansion, I stay in Huqiao Town for a night and eat a bowl of mutton noodles. I've been familiar with the stall owner after a while, but I only know that his name is Lao Xu and I haven't talked much."

After they finished their noodles, they praised each other for a few more words and wiped their mouths.

The seats at the stalls were not full of people, and the stall owners were not in a hurry to turn over the table, so the group of people sat in their seats and chatted and ate.

Xie Guang'an often goes to his residence, and is not anxious, just listening to them talking to pass the time.

Among the travelers, there was a man wearing indigo clothes and a rosy face in a small hat. He looked good. Xie Guang'an knew that this man was going to go to the west of Xingqing Mansion to make a living.

At this moment, this person was saying that he was sighing about the world:

"...But the world is really impermanent. Before I left home, there were new neighbors around me, only father and son, and their daily lives were simple and poor. The son of that family looked very cute, and the dough seemed like a little man. He was doing all kinds of rough work at home every day. It must be that the family was in a turmoil and looked pitiful."

"But this is too common, how can we have a real rice bowl for gold and iron? Even if we become an official in the court, promotion and demotion are common. The children of officials and families have lost a lot. Even if the family has thousands of hectares of fertile land, our fertile land has changed dozens of owners in the past century."

"It is very common for people who pass on their families through money to produce unworthy descendants and lose all their family wealth. Some people even dumped their money in the water in autumn and winter just to see the poor jump into the river, so as to salvage those who clapped and laughed, and finally sold the fields and houses to change their food, and finally starved to death. There are also those who are extremely lazy, with big cakes on their necks, but only know how to eat the part in front of them, but they don't know how to rotate, and they starve to death..."

"Oh, maybe it is safest to pass on poetry and books to pass on family. Don't look at this, you can't eat or wear, you can't fill your hunger or cover up the cold, but it's passed on for the longest time. So if I make money back this time, I will send my children to a private school to study in a private school and read a few words. Maybe in the next few generations, I can also study for others."

Xie Guang'an smiled and said:

"Brother, this is indeed the right way. I wish you get what you want as soon as possible."

People around him agreed.

The man was very happy and smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you."

Since this talk started, Xie Guangan also talked about his experiences:

"In the state examination last year, our Huaifeng Mansion and the Longxing Mansion next to us made a lot of money, and a large number of students passed the imperial examination. However, because of the two good teachers in Xingqing Mansion, we were overwhelmed by the number of students who passed the imperial examination."

"Fortunately, Huaifeng Mansion won a championship this year. Our mansion had a scholar Liu Xiuwen. After the announcement of the list, he was the 147th Jinshi in high school! It is said that he will soon enter the Hanlin Academy. After studying the way of becoming an official and various rules for handling miscellaneous affairs of the chief official, he will be released from office!"

Someone next to him was willing to put down his chopsticks at this time. When he heard what Xie Guang'an said, he shook his head and said:

"It may not be a good time to be an official now. It is said that the emperor has not even held a court meeting recently. This dynasty does not have a prime minister, only the left and right ministers. They have not been able to seize many things that need to be decided, and the court is quite busy."

Someone echoed: "Yes, and it is said that there are chaos in the affairs of various states, which makes the world very unstable. Recently, I even heard that some people were secretly planning rebellion and were executed, and some states were increasing taxes and preparing troops. I don't know why."

Xie Guang'an nodded, and he also heard about this and sighed:

"The strangest thing is that even we civilians know about this kind of thing, but the big men in the court seemed to have not heard the wind. They were indifferent to it. It was really worrying, and they didn't know how many days could they enjoy in this peaceful period."

"I wish the world peace..." The few people sighed and shook their heads, all of whom were worried.

Seeing that it was getting late, the travelers gradually began to come to this stall, so everyone stood up and said goodbye to each other, and went to find their place to stay tonight.

The son of the noodle stall owner next to him came to clean up the dishes and wipe the table. It was dinner time soon, and the noodle stall was coming at the busiest time of the day.
