In the eyes of this small town of Jian'an, in the eyes of this bamboo team, it is far from being as lively as lively.

Look at the crowd watching, all of them were filled with smiles. This is a satisfying smile that I have been busy all year long and will eventually get something to pay. This smile comes from the heart and sincere, not the kind of smile that feels happy because of the grand event. That kind of smile is only temporary and will disappear and be lazy two days after the grand event.

And this kind of inner-hearted and satisfied smile will probably continue until the beginning of the next spring, and everyone will start to get busy again. As a team of people who have seen too many people and too many joys and sorrows, their vision is to have their own confidence in this regard.

Look, almost all the children who were playing in the crowd were dressed neatly, with a bulging pocket. No need to guess, they must be snacks. These children rarely have patches on their clothes. If one or two children are dressed brightly and beautifully, that is not uncommon, where is there no wealthy family? But the key is that in Jian'an City, you can hardly find children who are dressed more ragged, and the same is true for adults. Except for the better materials of the clothes worn by the wealthy family, most of the others are not as bad as those of the wealthy family in Yangzhou.

These days, the people in the Sizhu team witnessed bizarre things every day. When walking on the street, whether they recognize them or don’t recognize them, they will smile and say hello to them.

At first, they thought it was because they were guests from other places and invited by Xuan Delang, so people respected them more, but after a long time, they found that no matter who it was, the Jian'an people would greet each other with a smile, nodding, or smiling.

Even if one or two adults and children wearing patched clothes occasionally appear, the smile on their faces is a kind of satisfied and longing smile. Even if the people passing by are well dressed, they will not have a disgusting expression because of the shabby clothes. They nodded like an acquaintance and said hello: Have you eaten? Eat, eat it.

If the other party is a child, adults will ask: My son, have you been to school today? The child will raise his head and agree with a slight voice, and then smile and take the things handed over by the adult, or a small toy or something like that. The expression was as if the adult was his elder.

Until this time, the people in the Sizhu class remembered that they had been waiting for Jian'an for more than half a month, but every time they went shopping on the street, they seemed to have never seen as many beggars as in Yangzhou. Occasionally one or two were missing, and they stood timidly on the corner of the street. Almost all passing by would throw one or two copper coins. Then, in a few days, the beggars disappeared, and then in a few days, you might see them in a shop or restaurant, dressed brightly and become a friend.

Could it be that Jian'an is already so rich? But even if it is as rich as Jinling, Yangzhou, it is not everyone who likes to smile. There are many people in ragged clothes and frowning on the street. The relationship between people is not so harmonious. Unless they are familiar with each other, no one generally greets you.

You are watching the children who are walking around in front of and behind the stove. If they cannot get into the crowd, the adults next to them will lift them up and put them in front of them. Then the child starts to move forward again. Almost all the adults tolerate the children so much.

Not only that, the children squeezed into the stove, and almost all the busy guys could bring out a plate from under the desk like magic, either fried fruit or some sauce meat. The guy smiled and picked up one or two pieces of chopsticks. The kid smiled and stuffed it into his mouth, cheered, and then slipped out of the crowd like a loach, heading straight to the next target.

The most incredible thing they found is that in the Jianghuai area, almost all students have high self-esteem. Walking on the street, only others say hello to them. Few students take the initiative to say hello to others, and everything is inferior. Only those who study are high. Even if the student is from a poor family and his family is much richer than his family, the other party will say hello first. However, in Jian'an, there is no such phenomenon at all.

Look at the students in the crowd, they are crowded with ordinary people, but they are not annoyed. They are thrust around and they are smiling. They greet people from time to time, and sometimes they point fingers and turn their heads to say anything to the person next to them, regardless of who is standing next to them.

Think about it again, these days, they rarely see tax collectors and yamen run to those shops or stalls and shouting. The yamen runners are not sternly looking. Sometimes, when people in the Sizhu team are tired of shopping, they sit down to drink tea or eat some snacks in a certain teahouse restaurant, and they can also see yamen runners coming in. However, they are different from the yamen from other places, with a bitter face and a forced smile, but they ask with a smile: The old rules?

Well, the old rules. This is how the yamen runners usually answer.

Then the guy brought the food and drinks. The yamen runner finished the meal quickly and checked out and left. He didn't find any yamen runners bullying others with their power, eating and drinking for nothing.

If you live in such a place, you will soon forget everything even if you have any worries? What kind of person can manage a Jian'an so well? I'm afraid that the so-called "no way to pick up the leftovers and no doors to close your doors at night" is the most suitable for Jian'an.

The people from the Sizhu team were observing the crowd in front of the Confucian Temple. On the second floor of a teahouse next to the square, a young man wearing a moon-white robe and a brown haircut was sitting in front of the window, drinking tea and gnawing on his snacks, and watching the crowd in the square.

Until the bell rang, the young man still sat there motionless. This made the guy next to him feel so anxious that there was only such a guest left in the teahouse. He was not leaving, he was not staying, why not leave? I was afraid that the guests would summon him in a while, no one agreed. Let's stay. I felt itchy and I had already flew to the square.

Who is this? Others have been watching the fun and have already tasted it. Why can't he sit here? But they are guests, and those who run teahouses can't drive the guests away, right? The man had no choice but to wait aside, but his neck was stretched out, and he looked out, praying in his heart that the guest would leave the next moment, even if it was for nothing, he would recognize him. A pot of tea and a plate of snacks are just a matter of a few cents. How can it be compared with so many delicious dishes in the square?

Perhaps it was the guy's prayer that played a role. When the young man turned his head, his face seemed to change. He turned around and saw that the guy was standing there looking around. He looked again. The whole second floor was empty, and he was only sitting there, so he asked the guy to check out. The guy happily sent the guests away, and hurriedly closed the door of the store and disappeared.

Other shops on the street have already closed. At this time, anyone who has the intention to do business again will be open, and no one will come. So they just close it and wait until the flowing table is over before opening.

It is closed, but most shops are closed in a false way, in order to prevent someone from buying something urgently if they have something urgent to buy.

As for whether to keep people in the store, it is not necessary. Someone wants something. If you know the price, you will keep the money in the original position of the goods you received after taking it. If you don’t know the price, you will also send it to you when the mat is over and you have time.

It can be said that over the years, I have hardly heard of any store shortage of things because no one is guarding it.

The young man's behavior was actually a bit abnormal. It can be said that the people in Jian'an City, including those from other places, even the first time they came, could not sit still when they heard about the flowing mat, so they had already joined the fun. The guy had already flew far away because of his thoughts and didn't notice it.

It was already noon, and the selection team had already finished. Although the sound of the opening of the table was ringing, people were not in a hurry to eat. Many people in the square looked at the bell tower. The entire bell tower was the tallest building in the square. It was built as high as three floors and had to be built up. Wang Kuang and the officials from the prefectures and counties were all standing there. In addition, a large group of members of the selection team just now were very eye-catching, and people could see it as soon as they raised their eyes.

It is a bell tower, but it should be said to be a tower. The whole building is built according to the layout of the tower, and it is to build a landmark building in Jian'an, which stands next to the Confucian Temple.

Seeing that everyone in the square did not move, they all looked up and looked up. Huang Liang, who was standing beside Wang Kuang, smiled and patted Wang Kuang on the shoulder: "Erlang, go down. It depends on the situation. If you don't move the first chopstick, they will not move again."

Wang Kuang shrugged helplessly, and did not be polite, so he took the lead and walked down. This was in Jian'an, Huang Liang and Lin Ming would not care about these shameful things with Wang Kuang. The people standing on the bell tower can be said that almost all Wang Kuang and others are their own people, so there is no need to pretend to behave.

But if it were someone else, Wang Kuang would have committed a big taboo to take the lead in leaving like this. The local parents have not left yet. You little scattered officials, who have no real power, will you lead the lead?

The envoy and Ming Gong both followed behind the people, and the officials were not allowed to say anything. Moreover, in the year when Wang Kuang came back, they had become accustomed to doing what Wang Kuang said and treating Wang Kuang as the leader. The changes in Jian'an over the past year were obvious. Although they borrowed the orders of the envoy and Ming Gong, everyone knew that Xuan Delang was the one who came up with the idea.

The officials sent by the old demon king Lao Heichang and others have now vaguely guessed why the family sent them to Jian'an. This is not exile, but promotion. Compared with the future, what are the temporary reduction of one level and two levels of fear? Isn't it worth mentioning? It seems that they still have a very heavy position in the clan.

When we were about to go to the second floor, there was a window at the corner facing the second floor of the teahouse. The bell tower and the teahouse were not very far apart, only about a few dozen feet away. Wang Kuang saw a person's face in the teahouse that seemed to have swept this side, and then disappeared. He felt a little strange. At this time, someone could stay in the teahouse? But it was just a little strange and didn't think much about it.

If the teahouse was closer, Wang Kuang might be able to recognize that the man had met, not in Jian'an, but in Chang'an, and he had a relationship with him. It was only a few dozen feet away, and Wang Kuang didn't think so much, so he did not recognize that man. It was because Wang Kuang had a bad ability to recognize people. If it were Huang Da, or Miao Wusun Er and others, those who had met him would basically recognize him and didn't run away.

Seeing that Wang Kuang, the envoy and others had all come down, the crowd automatically gave up a way for them. At the end, it was exactly where Sun Jiaying was located. Then, it seems that Sun Jiaying should have won the first place this year.

The judges who did not participate in the selection team, but now they are not called judges, but according to Huang Liang's meaning, they are called the examination class and change them to the evaluation. Of course, it doesn't matter, it's okay to call them anyway, as long as they mean that.

Wang Kuang is not a judge, but he should avoid suspicion. Fulai Inn has participated in the competition, but he cannot be an judge as one of the owners of Fulai Inn. This year's review members are very different from last year. Last year, because of the haste, the owners of several inns and restaurants were both part-time. Fortunately, these inns and restaurants did not participate in the competition last year, so it is reasonable.

However, this year, all the members of the evaluation are strictly selected. Those who are not allowed to participate in the competition are basically selected by some recognized stingy gourmets. These gourmets always like to rush around in restaurants on weekdays, and discuss the dishes made by each chef. Some are even delicious so that even if they have no money, they would rather lose their stomachs for a few days than save a dish he had long liked. Some can go to another place for a dish just to get a full taste.

When Wang Kuang helped the Jiang family launch Erlang steamed fish, two or three of them went together for a plate of fish. Several people raised money and ordered a plate of fish to eat. Later, the Jiang family heard that they came from Jian'an, invited them to have two meals, and then sent them back. Only then did they realize that the so-called Erlang steamed fish was made by the little boss.

Therefore, as soon as this year's selection team announced that they wanted to recruit people, these people came to register. How great it was that they could eat and give a serious comment. Isn't this evaluation seat tailored for someone? Now, it can be considered that they have found a good job for these people and have been evaluated. There are many benefits. All restaurants, inns and restaurants have promised that the evaluation will be full on weekdays, and there will definitely be food for the meal, but it is only enough for you to serve and want to eat wine, so you can pay the same money as other diners. In this way, it will completely solve the worries of the gourmets, and you don't have to worry about having no food to put them in the pot.

In fact, it is also beneficial to provide free meals. The noses of these gourmets are the first to know about what delicious food they have. After they come back, they will naturally brag about it. If they don’t do it well, they will be able to figure out 70% or 80% of the remaining 20% ​​or 30% of the remaining ones.

Therefore, in order to give these gourmet guests some spare money and go to other places to find out more things, the evaluation also has a monthly salary, so the money is naturally donated by restaurants and inns, and it is uniformly distributed by warehouses in the state. Not much, and there is a few hangovers every month. But it is always better than they are idle on weekdays.

It is precisely because these gluttons are scheming and don’t recognize each other when it comes to eating, so it’s the most appropriate for them to be the evaluation. In the past, almost all of these people lost their money and had their wives and children separated. Well, now they have a position and are considered half a public family. They are not public family members, they are supported by restaurants in Jian'an.

Waiting for Wang Kuang to open the chopsticks was their proposal. They were very grateful for Wang Kuang's offer of such a good job. Besides, the Little Boss proposed by the little boss, so it was natural to start with him. Therefore, the people of Jian'an also happily accepted the proposal.

There are two reasons why Wang Kuang is not evaluated. One is that if he has the opportunity in the future, he will still participate in the competition. If he is evaluated, he will not have the chance to end. The other reason is that he has always hoped that even if the revolving big table will develop into a major event in the future, he will maintain an unofficial position. If he is not official, he will not be influenced by one or two officials. For the participants, he will be more fair and just. He is an official, so of course he must first pick himself out and exclude him.

As Wang Kuang guessed, Sun Jiaying's porridge was ranked first, so Wang Kuang had to start from Sun Jiaying. Once he moved, the people of Jian'an could officially start to enjoy this sumptuous banquet.

Wang Kuang went up, took the bowl handed over by Sun Jiaying, served half a bowl, and handed it to Huang Liang. In private, he could not be polite to Huang Liang, but this was in public. As the highest executive of a state, Huang Liang still had to maintain his authority.

Huang Liang took the porridge, scooped it into his mouth with a spoon, and Wang Kuang also put it into his mouth. Suddenly, the people behind him cheered and all started to move.

What surprised Wang Kuang was that the whole roasted lamb from E Yue and actually won the third place. Perhaps, this is a brand new way of eating, which makes people feel fresh. The guy cut a slice of the whole lamb that was still grilled on the fire on the spot and handed it to your dish. This is very different from other ways of eating, so it also received unanimous praise from the evaluation team.

The second place was the chef who made a squirrel fish with a pot stir-frying with one hand and a knife with the other. In fact, he learned this dish from Fulai Inn. Kuang Da also had this dish today, which was naturally better than what he made. However, today's competition stipulated that a restaurant inn could only get one ranking at most, so the second place fell on him. Otherwise, the top four or five would definitely fall on Fulai Inn.

However, this chef also won the first place in fancy style. His unique skill of using one mind and two minds shocked many people. In the world, few people could do it.

What a pity, Little Lady Lin didn't know where she was at this time, and was she still staying at home. Xiao Qi should have pulled her out? Wang Kuang was thinking while walking around, and suddenly, a figure in a white robe with a month of eyes was seen. He seemed to have seen that figure somewhere, and he was definitely not in Jian'an. Wang Kuang was sure that even if he would not recognize people, he had been wandering around Jian'an in the past few years, and almost everyone had seen it many times, so he would not have such a poor memory.
