Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

Yan Nansheng and Old Man Yan stood at the alley opposite the stall, watching their shop being surrounded by people, but no one dared to go forward to try the food.

Just because I have never seen this kind of food called potato.

Seeing that the examination hall was about to open, Yan Nansheng thought for a moment and walked towards his stall.

Although Grandpa Yan didn't know what his granddaughter was going to do, he still walked up to Yan Nansheng and helped her clear a passage.

Then someone recognized her.

"Look, it's the five-year-old student!"

"That's true. I thought he wouldn't take part in the college entrance examination this time. After all, given his age, even if he had a famous teacher to guide him, he couldn't pass the exam at the tender age of five."

You should know that after passing the county examination and the prefectural examination, you will have the real status of a student, and you will be considered a famous scholar in the prefectural city and towns.

Those who passed the examination to become a scholar would receive various special treatments, and the county magistrate would not kneel. If one passed the examination to become a poor student, he would receive a salary and food.

The salary was generally one or two taels of silver per month, one liter of rice per day, and occasionally fish, meat, oil, salt, etc.

Although the salary is not much, it is enough to guarantee living.

The current price of grain is not very high. Polished rice is about five cents per pound, and brown rice is about three cents.

Therefore, Yan Nansheng is considered a celebrity in the capital city.

After all, there have been only a few five-year-old students throughout history.

Yan Nansheng didn't say much after he entered. He picked up a potato tart and started eating.

Everyone saw how he was eating with such relish and a look of enjoyment on his face that they all swallowed their saliva vigorously.

A little girl stopped her brother who was about to step forward and said, "Brother, you have an exam today, you can't eat anything casually. It would be bad if you feel sick and miss the exam."

The candidate thought the same and immediately praised his sister for being so thoughtful.

Before I could say the compliment, I heard the little girl in my arms say incoherently: "I'm different. It doesn't matter if I get an upset stomach."

The little girl took her fingers out of her mouth, and silver threads were still hanging on her chubby fingers.

She pointed at the longest potato tower and said loudly to her brother, "Brother, brother, I want the biggest one!"

The examinee's face was full of helplessness.

The little girl's shout seemed to open some mysterious passage.

The crowd gradually reacted and took out copper coins to buy.

"Don't push, everyone, don't push."

"A bunch of potato fritters costs three cents, two bunches costs five cents..."

"We came in a hurry today and don't have much to prepare. First come, first served!"

Yan Qingfeng was undoubtedly smart, moving among the crowd and handing over money and goods.

Most people think they’re getting a great deal when they hear that they can save a penny by buying two strings.

He also heard that this delicious food called potato tower was running out, and he was afraid that he would not be able to grab some and be blamed by his wife and children.

They all rushed forward to buy, and the stall instantly became extremely popular.

When the gong sounded to signal the opening of the examination hall, the Yan family's stall was already empty.

Old Master Yan and Yuan Niang had already escorted Yan Nansheng to the entrance of the examination hall.

"Ah Sheng, study hard. Mom knows you can do it."

Thinking about the oil lamp that was still on in my daughter's room until late at night, and the image of my daughter holding a book that could be seen through the window paper.

Yuanniang felt so heartbroken.

This child is extremely intelligent and works so hard. If he fails the college entrance examination this time, it would be really God's fault.

"Grandfather, mother, don't worry about me too much. I will do my best and leave the rest to fate."

"I'm still young. Even if I fail the exam this time, I won't make it hard on myself. At worst, I can prepare and take the exam next year."

After saying that, he turned around with an attitude and walked towards the examination hall.

People around were whispering and praising the child for his insight.

Watching her daughter entering the examination hall from afar, Yuanniang couldn't help but tears up.

"Father, Sheng'er..."

"You don't have to worry. This is not the first time I've entered the examination hall. Sheng'er is already familiar with the procedures. There won't be any difficulties."

Old Master Yan stroked his beard again and again, "You have to believe Sheng'er."

Upon hearing this, Yuanniang looked at her father-in-law and her eyes fell on his beard.

Somehow, I always feel that my father-in-law's beard is not as thick as before.

Looking at my father-in-law who was still stroking his beard unconsciously.

Yuanniang burst into laughter.

He said he was not worried, but my father-in-law is a tough guy.

At the stall over there, a few boys from the Yan family were packing up the tools for making baked potato towers.

Mrs. Zhang held the purse tightly in her hand on the side of the cart.

I feel it is inappropriate.

Put it in the backpack later.

No, I still feel it’s not right.

He took it out again and hid it in front of his chest, over and over again.

Wang was speechless when she saw her mother-in-law like this.

When Mr. Yan and Yuan Niang came back, they saw this scene.

His wife jumped up and down to hide the silver, and finally hid it in the most conspicuous place.

Old Master Yan, who couldn't bear to watch any more, quickly said, "Pack up everything, let's go back to the inn first and come out tomorrow."

The college entrance examination will end tomorrow, but because we still have to look at the list, we will stay in the city for another five days.

The city will be very busy during these five days, and it is also the time when merchants in the city make the most money.

When they returned to the inn, they were gathered together by Mrs. Zhang.

In the room, Mrs. Zhang told Wang to close the doors and windows tightly, and then put the purse on the table in the room.

With a loud "bang", everyone was startled.

Mrs. Zhang's face flushed with excitement. "Quick, Qingfeng, count quickly, how many copper coins are there?"

Qingfeng was also very excited because he was the one who was in charge of selling most of the goods in the shop just now, and this was the result of his hard work.

He tried hard to steady his shaking hands, opened his purse, and poured all the copper coins in the bag onto the table with a "clatter".

He started counting under the gaze of everyone.

"Ten cents, twenty cents, thirty cents..."

"One hundred coins, one hundred and fifty coins, three hundred coins...

"One thousand coins, two thousand coins..."

"My dear mother and father! Three thousand five hundred and eighty-five coins!"

"Grandpa! We earned more than three taels of silver today!" Yan Qingfeng's voice trembled.

In less than half a day, he earned the money that ordinary people would need at least three months to earn.

I had never seen so much money before.

Now I actually earn so much money with my own hands.

At this moment, Yan Qingfeng had a deep understanding of what his grandfather had said: "Books are the golden house."

I was worried at first, fearing that I wouldn’t be able to sell it and would disappoint my family.

When I first started hawking, my voice was stuttering and not loud enough, so no one came.

When Yan Nansheng entered the stall and started eating, the scholars and their families swarmed over.

Yan Nansheng whispered something in his ear as he left.

“That’s the celebrity effect.”

Although Yan Qingfeng didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence.

But I kept this method in mind.

"We're rich! We're rich!" Mrs. Zhang finally came back to her senses from the shock of earning more than three taels of silver in less than half a day.
