Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng

Huo Jinqian's second exam was a policy test.

When Huo Jinqian got the paper, he just happened to have discussed it with Master Xie. He picked up the brush and began to write.

This time, he handed in his paper earlier than others. The dry food was finished, so he would eat instant noodles today.

Huo Jinqian took out the meat filling, poured it into a bowl, poured a little boiling water to melt it, and the aroma of the meat soon wafted out. Then he took out the dough, put in some green onions, poured in boiling water, and covered it with a small lid. The aroma of the meat was quickly covered.

The examinee next to Huo Jinqian was at a loss for words and was even more unable to write because of hunger. When they smelled the fragrance, their stomachs started to growl unconsciously, making them even less interested in writing their essays.

"I'm hungry. I'm so hungry! I really can't write anymore!"

"Me too, I smell the aroma of meat, and now my mind is filled with the smell of meat."

"Who is so wicked as to cook meat at this time of year? It makes me lose interest in writing my policy paper."

"What is he thinking? Doesn't he want us to do well in the exam?"

"Protest, protest, serious protest!"

The candidates around Huo Jinqian put down their brushes and covered their rumbling stomachs. Some wanted to try the taste, while others accused and protested.

The noise here soon attracted the gatekeeper.

"What are you arguing about? Are you trying to cheat?"

The gatekeeper said angrily.

"No, sir. I don't know who is cooking meat at this hour, which is a serious problem for us."

Some candidates protested.

"That's right. He knew that everyone was hungry at this time, but he didn't wait for us to hand in the papers before cooking the meat. What's his intention in cooking the meat now?"

Another candidate protested.

"Who cooked the meat?"

The gatekeeper probably knew what was going on and asked angrily.

"Sir, it was the student. But the student was not cooking meat, but noodles. The aroma of meat just now was a new dish made by the student's family, called instant noodles."

Huo Jinqian quickly explained.

"Instant noodles? Never heard of it? Is it delicious?"

The gatekeeper asked Huo Jinqian.

"It's delicious. If you don't mind, sir, I'll give this a try."

Huo Jinqian said with pain.

The gatekeeper was given a piece of instant noodles and he will have to eat one less meal.

"Okay, let me try!"

The gate officer picked up the bowl and was greeted by the aroma of meat, which was so delicious that he could not help drooling.

"If any of you can't continue writing, please hand in your paper. If you still want to continue writing, please hurry up. We have only half a cup of tea left before the papers are collected."

The gate officer reminded the candidates.

If you are hungry and cannot finish the essay, you can hand in the paper early and have lunch. If you still want to write, you must hurry up and write because time is running out.

After the gatekeeper finished speaking, he began to taste the delicious food - instant noodles!

The first bite was filled with the smoothness of the noodles and the aroma of the meat lingering in the mouth. It was really delicious.

The gatekeeper slurped the noodles without caring about his image, making a slurping sound.

He quickly finished a bowl of instant noodles. He was so full that he couldn't help but burp.

"Does your family sell instant noodles? I want to buy some."

The gatekeeper touched his belly and asked with a satisfied look on his face.

"I'm sorry, sir! My family made the instant noodles because I have an exam, and she doesn't plan to sell them for the time being."

Huo Jinqian explained.

"What a shame. How many instant noodles do you have? I've already bought them."

Since we can’t buy it outside, we buy the instant noodles he has for our family to taste.

"Sir, I only have 17 instant noodles in my hand. This is my meal at the Imperial Academy."

Huo Jinqian said embarrassedly.

If it was given to the gatekeeper, what would he eat for these six days?

"Well, how about this. I'll go out and buy you six days' worth of dry food, or have your family bring it to you."

The gatekeeper was willing to break the rules just to get food.

During the examination, the guards are not allowed to know the names of the examinees. This is to prevent favoritism and fraud, and to prevent the guards from abusing their power to steal the examinees' papers and give them to their relatives.

"Sir, this is against the rules. Sir, you have no right to know my name, so how can you ask my family to send instant noodles. If you really like it, after the exam, I will ask my family to make some instant noodles for you."

Huo Jinqian refused righteously.

He cannot break the rules, otherwise one day someone will use this as an excuse and it will affect his career.

"Sir, that's right. You can't break the law knowingly. Sell these instant noodles to us."

The candidate on Huo Jinqian’s left said.

He was standing next to them, and he smelled the aroma of instant noodles the most. His mouth was watering, and he couldn't write the policy paper at all.

"That's right, sir, you can just try it. We've packed the instant noodles for that classmate and will exchange them with our dry food."

The candidate on Huo Jinqian's right followed suit.

He had already become greedy when he smelled the fragrance and wanted to try its flavor.

"That's right. I'm willing to exchange it for dry food."

"I am also willing to exchange it for dry food."

The candidates were willing to exchange dry food for instant noodles.

You’d be a fool not to change your instant noodles if they smell this good.

"How about this, I'll give you one piece, and I'll keep the rest for myself."

Huo Jinqian saw that everyone wanted to exchange instant noodles, so he could refuse. He had the right to deal with his own things.

On second thought, he eats instant noodles every day, and the smell must make them unhappy. They all use weird attitudes to annoy him, which also affects his mood.

In this case, he might as well do everyone a favor. After they try the taste, they will naturally feel embarrassed to annoy him again.

"If everyone agrees, I will change it for you. You know, this is my thing, and I have the right to disagree with the change."

Huo Jinqian made it clear in advance and asked them to think carefully about it.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

…………

Everyone agreed, and the gatekeeper helped them to switch.

Huo Jinqian used twelve pieces of instant noodles to exchange for dry food and kept five pieces of instant noodles.

In order to eat instant noodles, the candidates asked the gate guard to collect their papers.

After the papers were collected, everyone made instant noodles as Huo Jinqian taught them.

When they took their first bite, they all fell in love with the taste!

Huo Jinqian could only pick up the dry food and start eating!
