Anyway, there were still some hours before the court session, and the seats here were very comfortable. Many officials were sitting in their seats, looking at the young shopkeeper to kill time.
"How should I address you, Little Shopkeeper?" Kong Yingda asked with a smile.”
"I, Bai Ming, pay my respects to you, sirs.”
"You said just now that you shouldn't bully the young and poor. Then let me ask you, what does a person rely on to make a name for themselves?”
In this era, the world was predestined. From the emperor to the people, everyone believed in the theory of reincarnation ghosts and gods. They always felt that everything was arranged by fate.
Bai Ming's eyes turned and he smiled." Old man, this person's life is all about luck."”
"Luck?" "Can you be more specific?" Kong Yingda asked with a smile.”
Bai Ming paced around the store with his hands behind his back."I have a humble opinion, please correct me.”
"Tell me."
"As the saying goes, the weather is unpredictable, and people have their ups and downs," Bai Ming said loudly.

Silence ~
Absolute silence ~
Apart from the steamed buns at the entrance, the entire shop seemed to have frozen.
The ministers were all dumbfounded. How many books did he have to read to know so many allusions at such a young age?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would believe that a bun seller had such talent?
Kong Yingda came up with a question at the last minute, and the little shopkeeper improvised. This calmness was rare, and this talent was even rarer.
The little shopkeeper's words spurred him on and summarized the ups and downs of life since ancient times.
The ministers present were all officials and had seen too many ups and downs. Even so, they had to admit that it would be difficult for them to write such an article in a short period of time.
If this was the question of the imperial examination, this little shopkeeper would probably be the top scholar.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Kong Yingda's eyes sparkled as if he had discovered a treasure.
Although he was a shopkeeper, he was still a child at this age. Why was this child so mature? Where did he come from?
Especially Cheng Yaojin, who only said after a long time,""It makes sense that this kid is selling it at a high price.”
Kong Yingda twirled her beard, seemingly still recalling his words. After a long while, she clapped her hands and laughed."Interesting, interesting. You're so capable at such a young age. Looking at your bearing, you must not be an ordinary person. Who did you learn from?”
"What teacher? He's just a little shopkeeper selling buns. Sir, would you like a tray of buns?"
Kong Yingda nodded and smiled." Good, good. Give me all of this. It's worth dozens of wen to get this essay. It's very worthwhile." I'll bring my colleagues to taste it first.”
Bai Ming explained how to taste the white and tender soup dumplings. Kong Yingda took a small bite and tasted the soup before slowly closing her eyes.
" Fresh, fragrant…It's like the orchid in the valley, absorbing the essence of all beasts. As the saying goes, one can't be tired of eating fine meat, but not fine meat. I've had a lot of good fortune in my life, but it can't compare to this soup…" As soon as he finished speaking, a tear fell from the corner of Kong Yingda's eye.
She exhaled lightly, and the fresh fragrance became clearer in her mouth. She put the bun into her mouth and slowly tasted it, not saying a word for a long time.
"Lord Kong, is this soup so delicious?" Cheng Yaojin shouted. This Bi Luo…oh, what about this Steamed Bun?”
Kong Yingda chewed for a long time before swallowing slowly. He twirled his beard and laughed. After a long time, his laughter grew louder and louder." It's worth it, worth it, fifty wen is worth it. Haha, everyone, this Soup Dumpling is really like what the shopkeeper said. It's like a lantern when lifted up, and like a chrysanthemum when put down. A mouthful of soup leaves an endless aftertaste, giving this old man all the strength in my body. A mouthful of steamed bun, the fragrance of wheat is lingering, and the fragrance of meat is rolling. Haha."”
A tray of buns was praised by others, especially Kong Yingda's evaluation. This guy, his ancestor Confucius was a foodie, so this item must be extraordinary.
"Little shopkeeper, two trays of steamed buns!" Fang Xuanling shouted. Give me some side dishes."
"We'll come too," Cheng Yaojin shouted."Second brother, how much do you want?" Four baskets of steamed buns. If it's not enough, come again."
Wei Zheng smiled." Since Lord Kong said it's so delicious, then I'll have a tray of buns too. I've never heard of these 50 wen buns before." Haha."
In an instant, the buns outside were all snatched away. After Bai Ming delivered the buns, he quickly rushed to the kitchen and took out more buns to put on the stove. After these people finished eating, the buns should be ready.
