Chapter 36 Hot Mutton Soup Bun
As for worrying about the mutton soup steamed bun getting cold on the way, there is no need to worry about this at all.

Last year, Yang Wenyuan made something similar to a "take-out box".

The inner wall of the food box is made of iron sheet, the upper layer is for food, and the bottom layer is filled with smokeless charcoal made from high-quality hardwood. Just leave a few air holes and a simple insulation box is made.

Although all the performances are good, this takeaway lunch box has a fatal flaw: it is a bit expensive.

It will be scrapped after a few uses and replaced with a new one.

This also resulted in the shipping cost being quite high, and only noble families would ask someone to deliver the food if they had a craving for it.

Of course, Yang Wenyuan doesn't need to spend any money to buy it.

I also took some money from it.

Although it only targets the high-end market, this is Bianjing, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is famous for its prosperity and wealth.

So even though this business is seasonal, it still brings Yang Wenyuan a lot of money.

According to the legislation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, any civilian could engage in business, but royal nobles and bureaucrats were not allowed to do business because they were all people who received salaries, and doing business meant competing with the common people for profits.

However, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.

For example, in the Sheng family, the first branch would do business, while the second branch would pursue a career in politics, complementing each other.

The same is true in the Marquis' Mansion.

However, for a business like lunch boxes, there is no need to be so troublesome.

Most of the noble families are concerned about their children born at home.

Yang Wenyuan put the profits from the lunch boxes under the name of Changqing.

Jiying Lane.

Sheng family.

Following the maid to the courtyard where the private school was located, Yang Wenyuan found that he was the last one to arrive, and everyone inside was already seated.

Hualan looked at him with eyes full of mockery and a look of gloating.

Yang Wenyuan looked around.

I noticed that sitting at the top was an old man wearing Confucian clothes and with a white beard. He must be the great Confucian scholar Zhuang.

Although he is old, he looks vigorous and energetic.

There was a row of small benches at the back, where the young masters and young ladies' personal attendants and maids sat quietly.

The seats in private schools are arranged according to age, with older students in the front and younger students in the back.

At this time, the desk on the left was empty, and Hua Lan was on the right.

The unfamiliar face sitting in the second row should be Young Master Qi Heng of the Duke of Qi’s Mansion.

He is the only legitimate son of the Duke of Qi.

He has a handsome appearance, upright and square, and is not inferior to Yang Wenyuan.

The man on the street is as beautiful as jade and the young man is unparalleled in the world. This is probably the perfect explanation of Yang Wenyuan and Qi Heng.

However, although the Yang family and the Qi family were both first-class noble families in Bian Jing, Yang Wenyuan had only seen the young master very few times since he was a child. He could only see him from afar during the holidays.

And now, because Yang Wenyuan has a bad reputation, Princess Pingning will not allow her precious son to have any contact with him.

Even when he visited Duke Qi's Mansion last year, he only had a brief meeting with Qi Heng and there was no time for conversation at all.

In other words, Princess Pingning did not know in advance that Yang Wenyuan would also come to the Sheng family to study, otherwise she might have ignored the agreement and dignity and called Qi Heng back to not give Yang Wenyuan the opportunity to lead her beloved son astray.

After entering the door, Yang Wenyuan first bowed to Zhuang Xuejiu who was sitting at the top of the table.

"Master, how are you?"

Zhuang Xueji nodded slightly and pointed to the empty desk. "That's your seat."

Although he was not late, Yang Wenyuan still smiled apologetically at Zhuang Xuejiu who was sitting at the top of the table, and quickly walked to his desk, took out all the things, and put them in order. After Yang Wenyuan sat down, Zhuang Xuejiu also picked up the desk and stood up.

“The teaching aids have been placed on your desks. Let me explain the rules again.

The class starts at 5:30 a.m. and opens at 6:00 a.m. Every five days, one cent (homework) is charged, and every ten days, there is a day off.

After giving the instructions, Zhuang Xuejiu picked up the teaching aids and began teaching.

"I have no interest in worldly things, my nature is to love hills and mountains..."

Before I knew it, it was almost the 9th hour.

Only then did Master Zhuang stop teaching, put down the lesson plan and announced that they would take a break.

Seeing this, the attendants sitting in the back row immediately picked up the food boxes and found their own young masters and young ladies.

Seeing that Changqing had not arrived yet, Yang Wenyuan went out to look for him. When he turned around, he saw Changqing who was about to go in.

It turned out that Changqing had already arrived outside the courtyard, but because he was giving a class inside, he was waiting outside the courtyard with two bodyguards, holding food boxes.

Yang Wenyuan first asked Changqing, whose mouth was full of oil, to distribute the mutton soup steamed buns, and then he walked to Zhuang Xuejiu.

"Student, the weather is very cold and you have been teaching for such a long time. I am afraid you must be a little tired. Why don't you try the famous dish of Fanlou, mutton soup steamed bun, which was just delivered?"

Zhuang Xuejiao looked at the delicious food in front of him, his nose twitched slightly, and he secretly swallowed his saliva, but he still straightened his face and said: "I asked you to get up early in the winter to study, just to sharpen your spirit. Without the perseverance of studying hard, how can you pass the imperial examination in the future?
Besides, I have snacks and tea prepared by the Sheng family."

Yang Wenyuan had already inquired about it a long time ago. Apart from studying, Mr. Zhuang's biggest hobby is tasting delicious food.

Now that the world-famous Fanlou dishes are served at your fingertips, how can you not be tempted?
Yang Wenyuan pretended not to notice Zhuang Xuejiu's intention and continued, "I understand, but the weather is so cold now, it's better to eat something hot. Besides, this is also a token of my gratitude."

Zhuang Xuejiu's attitude had softened, but he still said, "We've only eaten meat this morning..."

Yang Wenyuan scratched his head and thought, why are you still carrying this? I just asked him to buy mutton soup with steamed buns.

At this time, Chang Qing came over and whispered to Yang Wenyuan: "Sir, I also bought some soft cheese."

Yang Wenyuan's eyes lit up.

"Scholar, there is some soft cheese made from glutinous rice in the food box. Why don't you try it?"

Only then did Zhuang Xuejiu nodded and took the warm food box from Yang Wenyuan.

As soon as you open it, an alluring aroma mixed with the white mist rises up, making your mouth water and your appetite increase.

Everyone present had freshly baked mutton soup buns to eat, so they no longer cared about the original snacks and started to devour the delicious food in front of them.

For a moment, the whole room was filled with fragrance.

By the time I finished eating the mutton soup with steamed buns and swallowed some soft cheese, I had already exceeded the originally scheduled quarter of an hour's rest, and almost half an hour had passed.

Such a delay occurred on the first day of teaching, which made Zhuang Xuejiu feel a little embarrassed. He immediately asked the maid next to him to clean up the place and start the class again, but he still said something to Yang Wenyuan in the end.

"You've made the classroom smell so greasy and your belly is so full, how can you concentrate on studying? I agreed this time because you are sincere and this is our first meeting, but I won't allow it next time."

Zhuang Xuejiu said this very firmly.

After all, he came to the Sheng family to teach, not to indulge in gossip.

It is comfortable to eat hot mutton soup with steamed buns, but how can I have the heart to study?
But since today was the first day, which was a time for teachers and students to get to know each other, he agreed. But he would never do that again in the future.

Yang Wenyuan knew the consequences and agreed immediately. "Please rest assured, I will never bring anything with strong odors next time. I will only buy some soft cheese to fill my stomach. It will not affect my studies."
