Chapter 5044

Imperial Capital City, Chunjiang Square in the east of the city.

Lu Yu and Li Si were hanging out on the street.

They are all wearing ordinary scholar's brocade clothes, coupled with the young faces of the two, their appearance is the same as the students who came to the Imperial Capital to study, there is not much difference.

No one would have thought that the emperor and the cabinet master would actually appear in this place in a white dragon fish suit.

Although Lu Yu and Li Si are famous, they are rarely seen. In addition, the two have strength and do not need the protection of followers. Therefore, walking in the crowd will not attract the attention of others at all.

It's already midnight, but stalls have been set up on both sides of the street early. The candlelight reflected by the lanterns dispels the darkness.

"Since His Majesty lifted the curfew and allowed businesses to trade in various shops, the business environment of the entire Imperial Capital has been greatly improved, and there has been a little more fireworks at night."

Li Si looked at the lights of thousands of homes at night, and couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

If it was in the past, it should have been curfew early at this time, where would there be such a lively scene?

Li Si did not expect that Lu Yu would be able to think so carefully that he would cancel the curfew and completely open the night market.

The lively night market shuttles between the streets, making the night sky a little warmer.

Lu Yu looked back and forth, and he looked more carefully.

While the two were talking, Lu Yu came to a stall and stopped.

The stall is making rice cakes, which are steaming hot. The glutinous rice is cut into powder and mashed into a container. It is slowly steamed with heat, and then dipped in red bean paste.

"Father, how do you sell rice cakes?" Lu Yu smiled.

The seller of rice cakes was an old man who looked quite old, with dark skin and a face full of vicissitudes. However, both hands were very clean. Hearing Lu Yu's question, he habitually wiped his hands with a towel.

"Twenty spiritual stones per piece."

When the old man saw someone coming, a simple and honest smile appeared on his face.

Li Si frowned: "I'm afraid this is a bit expensive. I remember that this piece of rice cake was only five spiritual stones a few years ago."

The old man nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "The two little brothers don't know something. Prices have skyrocketed some time ago. It is difficult for rice cakes like me to buy raw materials. Even steamed buns have risen to thirty spirit stones. It's just that the imperial court has hit a few major blows recently. Grain merchants, let the prices fall back again, but the raw materials are still quite expensive, and this is the price after the fall."

Lu Yu thoughtfully, nodded and said, "Please give me two pieces, the old man."

"Okay, the two little brothers seem to be students from the nearby Yuding Branch?" The old man quickly took out the rice cake from the container and dipped it in bean paste.

Lu Yu wondered, "Jade Ding Branch?"

Li Sidao on the side: "There are too many people who want to join Yuding Academy. The academy has now been expanded, and a branch has been opened in Dijing, which is nearby."

Lu Yu nodded, this was to be expected.

The emperor was born in Yuding Academy, and even Lu Yu preached in the academy that day, and the matter of making 30,000 students the selection officer has made the prosperity of Yuding Academy a sure thing.

Today's Yuding Academy has a tendency to surpass the Guozijian.

Lu Yu didn't answer the old man's words, and smiled lightly: "We are indeed students of Yuding Academy."

"I just said, looking at the two young people, I think they are also young and promising talents."

While smiling, the old man placed the prepared rice cake in the lotus leaf swiftly with both hands, and then sent it to Lu Yu.
