examination room.

After working hard for a whole morning, almost all the candidates were starving. Some took out steamed buns or biscuits and ate them while writing; some put away their finished test papers, put out their meals and ate them seriously.

Mu Xiong and Fei Yuning were among those who put away their papers and took out steamed buns to eat. However, he was happier than the others who just ate the steamed buns. He dipped them in the slightly spicy minced meat sauce and ate them with relish.

Zhongjing was too lazy to collect the test papers, so he squatted aside and ate steamed buns with minced meat sauce to avoid dirtying the test papers.

Only Hua Murong took out a large bowl, put the noodles in it, and then poured in boiling water - instant noodles.

Five minutes later, Hua Murong opened the large bowl of instant noodles, and the rich and overbearing aroma of the instant noodles hit her face, attracting the examiners who were supervising the exam to look in the direction of the smell.

At a glance, everyone was either eating white steamed buns, dry biscuits, or delicate pastries. Only one person was stirring noodles with his head down.

The culprit behind such a seductive scent is obvious at a glance.

The examiners couldn't help swallowing their saliva, their eyes uncontrollably watching Hua Murong mixing the noodles. The red noodle soup soaked the twisted and slender noodles. This was the first time they had seen such soup noodles.

The candidate sitting next to Hua Murong was even more miserable. He found the steamed bun in his mouth even harder to swallow.

"Slurp——" Hua Murong didn't care about other people's lives and just enjoyed the instant noodles happily.

The instant noodles were not made by Xin Ye. It took too much effort to make them. Yan Yiyi and Xin Ye simply unpacked the large amount of instant noodles they bought from Lu Youyou and repackaged them.

However, the instant noodles business can be done. The recipe has been given to Hua Muchin, and the workshop has already started construction. It is estimated that the instant noodles will be on the market soon.

But, to Hua Murong and the others, they said that the food was of course made by Xin Ye himself. They were no longer surprised by the fresh food prepared by this "kitchen god" brother-in-law, and they would eat whatever food was taken out.

Just like the stinky tofu that Xin Ye made last time, it was such a smelly thing, but with trust in Xin Ye, they did not refuse at all. They just pinched their noses and took the first bite, and after that they couldn't help but fall in love with the stinky taste.

Unfortunately, the production cycle of stinky tofu is quite long, especially the stinky brine. Xinye’s trial stock was limited and they ate it all in one go.

As for the next time, Xinye said that he would make it again when they helped grind soy milk to make tofu.

That taste... I can't help but swallow just thinking about it.

When the examiners were having lunch, when they thought of Hua Murong's bowl of fragrant noodles, they suddenly felt that the braised pork in front of them had lost its flavor.

Due to the rules of the examination room, they did not immediately ask Hua Murong about the instant noodles, nor could they let the servants investigate Hua Murong's family affairs.

The examiners endured three days of anxiety and had to eat instant noodles and sweet potatoes!

Sweet potatoes are not something they can think about. Perhaps they can try them when they become popular next year. Now that they know in advance that sweet potatoes can be roasted, it is an eye-opener.

In order to avoid being caught, they did not ask Hua Murong about the instant noodles, but instead arranged for someone to investigate Hua Murong's family background afterwards.

After the joint examination, the next one is the palace examination, which they are not responsible for. They complete their work after handing the examination papers to the marking officials. Therefore, investigating Hua Murong at this time has nothing to do with cheating.

There was no way Hua Murong wouldn't have asked people to investigate his family background, but everyone was shocked when they found out that he was the eldest son of the Hua family in Shacheng.

However, this is not their focus!

The point is - instant noodles might have been developed by the husband of the eldest daughter of the Hua family!

Ah, this... is a private skill. Besides, they cannot invite the son-in-law of the Hua family to be a cook in their house, so they can only return disappointed.

As for the instant noodle workshop, it is the internal information of the Hua family and they cannot find it for the time being.

After three days of imperial examination, other candidates were listless and pale. Zhongjing and Fei Yuning also looked a little haggard. Mu Xiong was okay and in good spirits. The only exception was Hua Murong. Her face was rosy and she looked energetic, as if she was not going to take the exam, but to spend a wonderful night in a brothel.

"Big brother!"

"Second brother!"

The former was called by Yan Yiyi, and the latter was called by Gu Chengjiao. Yan Yiyi had already noticed Gu Chengjiao's existence and did not pay any attention to her. However, Gu Chengjiao felt a little familiar when she heard Yan Yiyi's voice. She turned around and found that it was the girl she had met once before.

Gu Chengjiao was deeply impressed by Yan Yiyi. It was rare for her to meet a man in the capital who doted on a girl so much, especially a girl who was already married.

That day, she saw her surrounded by her brothers. Although their behavior was strange, they were talking and laughing together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. People couldn't help but look at them a few more times, and then she remembered them, especially this girl, who was extremely beautiful. It was not an exaggeration to describe her as so beautiful that she could captivate fish and geese.

Gu Chengqing walked up to his sister, but found that she was staring at others blankly. He followed her line of sight and saw a group of good-looking young men. Moreover, they all seemed to have just come out of the examination room.

Suddenly he felt unhappy that his sister was going to be taken away, but when he thought that his sister was already eighteen and had not yet found a partner, all the distracting thoughts in his mind were suppressed.

If his sister really likes one of them and the other person has good character, he thinks she can consider it.

It is true that my younger sister's marriage cannot be delayed. My eldest sister-in-law lives far away in the north, and there is no other female elder in the family to take care of it for her. I am not married yet, so it is really not suitable for me to take care of my younger sister's marriage.

However, if his sister has chosen someone and the other person happens to be good, it would be okay for him to help out with some arrangements.
