In this way, An Yu learned to cook a dish every day. Of course, it was impossible for him to make everything perfect at the beginning, but under Xu Si's guidance, the taste was almost the same.

The box lunch business is also booming, and there is a reason why it is so popular.

It not only saves everyone’s cooking time, but also tastes good and can be eaten in different ways.

The original business was gradually replaced by boxed lunches.

“How is it? The food is not worse than that at Shidinglou, right?” Shi Ruofeng raised an eyebrow at his two friends.

He is considered a staunch supporter of the restaurant. Whenever new products are released, he will rush to buy them. Of course, the results will never disappoint him.

Shidinglou is the largest restaurant in the county, with three floors, and its chef is the owner of the restaurant.

It is said that it was a little-known restaurant 10 years ago. Later, it was heard that it had inherited the legacy of a master and it came into everyone's attention with a dish of roasted whole lamb.

An imperial envoy once passed by this place and admired it greatly. It was then highly praised by everyone and gradually developed to its present state.

"These dishes are not bad, but they can't compare to Shidinglou. They are simply not on the same level." Lin Shaoyu picked up an eggplant box and ate it slowly. The outside was crispy, the eggplant was soft, the meat filling was tender and juicy, and it didn't taste greasy at all.

Although he also appreciates the food in a restaurant, this is the fact.

Since the prices are set at this level, they naturally won’t make expensive dishes, they are just home-cooked dishes.

Compared to the specialty dishes of big hotels, this is not good enough.

If you are entertaining guests, you naturally have to go to some high-end place. You can't just say, "I think the food here is very good, so bring people over for a box lunch."

It’s not a question of whether it tastes good or not, but a question of importance.

Bai Yuqing didn't say anything. This mode was more suitable for him.

You don’t have to force yourself to share a dish with others, and you can still enjoy the food.

"Is Master Bai Yuqing here?"

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the shop, and then a messenger walked in under the gaze of everyone.

Before Bai Yuqing could react, Shi Ruofeng had already waved and shouted happily, "Here he is, right here, he is Bai Yuqing."

As he spoke, he pushed him up.

Xu Si was originally sitting at the counter to rest, but when he heard the sound, he stood up curiously and approached the central figure.

The messenger smiled happily and bowed to Bai Yuqing, "Congratulations, Master Bai, you have won the first place in the Xiangzhou County Examination."

"Jieyuan, that means first place!" Shi Ruofeng looked even more excited than the person involved.

The messenger then handed the good news to Bai Yuqing.

He unfolded it and read the words on it before revealing a genuine smile, "Thank you."

The people around also witnessed this scene and congratulated him.

That's really amazing! This is equivalent to getting first place in the provincial exam, being admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and at the same time passing the civil service exam and receiving deputy director-level treatment.

It's rare for Bai Yuqing to be so calm. If it were her, she would have started partying a long time ago.

So we can understand why Fan Jin went crazy after passing the imperial examination.

When you actually experience it, you will find that laughing at Fan Jin and understanding Kong Yiji will make you a waste.

"By the way, everyone has some reward money. Let's share in the good fortune. Miss Xu, please change some copper coins for us."

Shi Ruofeng took out a few silver ingots from his waist. He knew his good brother's character. He was too upright and he had to worry about such things himself.

"Okay." However, Xu Si was naturally willing to help if it was something that was easy to do.

The messenger was in no hurry to leave and kept flattering with a smile.

The purpose of grabbing this job is to get some reward money. Don't say useless things, just say it's your job, and if others are willing to give it, just take it.

This way both parties look good.

"By the way, can you tell me if I won the prize?" Shi Ruofeng was an extrovert by nature, and soon he had a very pleasant conversation with the informant.

"Oh, you are also a scholar, let me see," the messenger took out a list from his arms.

"What is your name?"

"Shi Ruofeng, there is another Lin Shaoyu, help us keep an eye on him."

The messenger glanced at the list and smiled even more. "What a great event! Master Shi, you are ranked 44th in the senior high school, and Master Lin is ranked 23rd. Congratulations!"

Upon hearing the news, not only the two high school students were happy, but the reporter was also very happy, as it saved him the trouble of reporting the news to everyone one by one.

"How many people were selected?" Shi Ruofeng asked curiously.

"Forty-five people have passed the Xiangzhou County Examination. The list of winners will be posted outside the government office tonight."

Doesn't that mean he is at the bottom? But he didn't care that much. As long as he passed the exam, his grades were not among the best to begin with.

When dad finds out about this, he will be so happy.

He was the first person in his family to pass the imperial examination. If he wanted, a new page would have to be opened in the family tree.

This was a rare scene, as three scholars were informed of the event at the same place. The other guests felt proud to have the same meal as them.

After throwing some reward money among the crowd, the messenger left and went to the next house.

The guests were all talking about it with gusto and looking at the three people who had passed the imperial examination with envy, but they did not dare to disturb them.

Xu Si also received some reward money. When she handed the exchanged copper coins to the other party, Shi Ruofeng immediately and enthusiastically gave her a handful.

Seeing that some people rushed over to watch after hearing about this, and it was obvious that they had other intentions, she had a new idea.

"Three young masters?"

Bai Yuqing and the other two were trying hard to calm themselves, and the food in their mouths tasted especially delicious.

After hearing Xu Si's voice, he looked at her in confusion.

"This meal is my treat. Could you three please leave a piece of calligraphy? I want it to be hung in our shop for people to admire."

"Ah, this, we are not big shots, this is not good." Shi Ruofeng suppressed his inner pride and said reservedly.

"Oh, that's not true. You three are so handsome. Passing the imperial examination is such an honor to your family. Today is an important day in your lives. It would be a pity if you don't leave something behind.

Besides, other people will be inspired when they see your calligraphy while eating.”

Xu Si advised sincerely with a look on his face.

"Okay then, I can do that, what about you guys?" Shi Ruofeng agreed impatiently and turned to look at the two of them.

Bai Yuqing and Lin Shaoyu thought about it and agreed. They were really happy and wanted to express something, so it would be nice to write something.

Xu Si hurriedly took out the prepared writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone. The other guests were also attracted and watched the three people splashing ink and writing.

After they finished writing, Xu Si carefully kept it, planning to frame it first and then hang it up so that it would not be easily damaged.

If they can continue to study in high school, become officials and make achievements, these will become celebrity calligraphy works with great collection value.

When the three people left, Xu Si picked some harmless branches from the trees in the yard and gave each of them a branch of osmanthus as a "laurel", representing his good wishes for them.
