Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

After breakfast in the morning, Liu Hao drove the carriage to Wan Tongsheng's house at the entrance of the village to pick up Wan Tongsheng and go to the city.

Luo Hong sat in the innermost seat, with Lin Keyu and Wan Tongsheng on his right, and Li Yao and Wei Songbai on his left. "When we get to the county, we still have to prepare the writing brushes, inkstones, and paper for the exam. Are you ready, Zhang Ge'er?"

"I'm ready. Last time I went to the city, I was also planning to settle down there. I also bought some things for the exam. But don't worry, the county bookstore has a lot of these things in stock, and the prices won't go up just because of the exam."

"Yes, I asked last time. If there is any change, I will buy it in advance. If there is no change, I will buy it after it is used up. These things are not cheap. If you buy too much and leave them there, they will take up space. The main thing is that we have quite a few people. This time when we go into the city, we have to spend some money with Wei Zhong to have enough money for the exam."

"Yes, this time we also spent our family savings. I hope we can all pass the exam this year when the enrollment is expanded."

"Yes, didn't we say before that the house has been shut down for three years in the past few years? The court is also in urgent need of talents. I hope we can pass the exam this time. In three years, we can go to the capital together to take the college entrance examination."

Li Yao and Wei Songbai nodded in agreement. They both urgently needed to prove themselves and create value.

Liu Hao first drove the carriage to Delicious Malatang. It was already noon and the store was bustling with customers, some entering and some leaving.

Lin Weizhong saw Liu Hao sitting in the front of the carriage and told Zhang Hu, "Zhang Hu, I'm going to go out for a while!"

"it is good"

"Haozi, I'm here! Do you want to go over first, or wait here for a while and have lunch? I'll take you over in the afternoon."

"Come over this afternoon. The store is quite busy at noon. I'll park the carriage in the backyard!"

"Okay, this afternoon is really busy!"

"Then I'll come and help you later!"

After a busy afternoon, it was already around 2:30 in the afternoon.

Liu Caixia had a few spicy hotpots cooked in the backyard, and the men and women had lunch at one table. They all had lunch around 2:30 p.m., and around 11 p.m. before getting busy in the store, they would make some snacks for everyone to fill their stomachs.

"This malatang is really delicious, spicy and strong!" Wan Tong's mouth was full of red after eating it raw, but he couldn't stop eating with his chopsticks.

"Today is just a short day before the exam. If you had the exam tomorrow, you wouldn't be able to eat. You don't usually eat spicy food, so your stomach won't be able to handle it if you eat something this spicy occasionally. It would be troublesome if you have stomachache and diarrhea in the exam room."

Luo Hong knew that people at this age had a bad stomach and would be very careful before the exam. Some candidates who stayed in the inn would do something to reduce the competition during the exam. Therefore, many times, even if they stayed in the inn, the candidates had to go to the kitchen to watch their own food being prepared, or cook in the kitchen themselves.

"Uncle Luo, you're right. This spicy hot pot is so delicious. I forgot about it for a moment."

"We will cook for ourselves later, and we will cook something light to suit everyone's taste. We can't eat anything too spicy, or it will be counterproductive if we get stomach upset."

"I really want to thank Uncle Luo for bringing me here this time. Otherwise, it would not be safe for me to stay at the inn alone. If my family sends someone to accompany me to take the exam, the cost would be much higher."

Before Wan Tongsheng came, he gave Luo Hong two taels of silver. Luo Hong was not prepared to take it, but Wan Tongsheng insisted on giving it. He said that if he stayed at the inn, the total cost plus the family's company would be at least twice as much as two taels. He urged Luo Hong to accept it, and he would feel at ease only if he accepted it.

"Zhang Ge'er, you gave us money. If you continue to be so polite, you are not considering us as your friends."

"Yes, yes, Uncle Luo, I won't say any more."

After happily eating the spicy hot pot, Liu Hao and Lin Weizhong drove them to a courtyard near the county school in a horse-drawn carriage.

Passing by a bookstore on the way, Luo Hong went in and bought pens, ink, paper and inkstone for four people.

"Wei Zhong, what was the name of Liu Qianxue's scumbag ex-boyfriend?"

"I don't remember either. What happened?"

"This bookstore has launched a new comic book with illustrations. I think it looks very similar to the ones I saw before. It's very likely drawn by Liu Qianxue's ex-boyfriend."

"Is it Journey to the West?"

"Yes."

"I don't know his name either. Let's go back and ask! However, Uncle Wang said that as long as he doesn't provoke us, we can't do anything to him now. Let him jump around on his own. Liu Qianxue said that her ex-boyfriend was very arrogant and vain. He might kill himself before we can deal with him."

"We still need to be more careful. After all, he has plenty of money with his painting skills, and he can get a good living here. If he runs into Liu Qianxue again in the future and finds out about our group and wants to cause trouble, we can prepare in advance."

"Okay, Haozi, go back and talk to Uncle Wang and Liu Qianxue about it tonight."

"it is good."

"By the way, Uncle Luo, some vegetables and meat will be delivered this afternoon. The firewood and daily necessities at home have been prepared. They will be delivered to the store in the afternoon, and I will have someone deliver them to you. As for cooking, do you guys do it yourself, or should I send a maid to you?"

"It's okay, we can just cook for ourselves! Your uncle Wang and his team have developed instant rice and noodles, so we can just cook for ourselves in the next two days. Everyone knows how to cook, and you guys are really busy over there!"

"It's okay. I hired a few more people and they are training them. We will be ready to open the business after you finish your exams. We have enough manpower."

"Just do the training well. You just need to deliver the raw materials in the next two days. We should cook together and move around. It's not good to sit and read books all the time."

"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow, and I'll take you to the exam room the day after tomorrow morning. Are you all in the same exam room?"

"Yeah, we saw it when we passed by the county government notice board just now. We just happened to be together. We were lucky enough to be assigned to the county school."

"Yes, the examination room at the county school is usually used as a study room, so it is cleaner and more sanitary when it is used as an examination room. The environment of the other examination room is much worse. At the county government office, there is usually only one examination room, but this year there are too many applicants, so it can only be divided into two examination rooms. The county government office has opened up another examination room, and the environment is definitely not as good as that at the county school."

Lin Weizhong just remembered this. If they were assigned to take the exam at the county government office, there would be no other choice but to buy a house near the county school, which is a little further away. People who live in inns in the city may not live near the exam site. "That's good. It's more convenient here."

"Weizhong, if you have nothing to do these few days, come over here more often. I'm also worried that if your uncle Luo gets sick after staying in there for three days, someone will take me back when I get out."

"Uncle Luo, don't say that. If you really can't hold on, just come out. Don't force yourself. I'll come and wait outside every morning and afternoon."

Wan Tongsheng: "Uncle Luo, don't worry. Even if you faint, there are doctors in every examination room in the county government. Even if your family members are not there to help you in time, there is space left at the gatehouse for those who can't continue the exam to rest."

"That's good. I heard earlier that some people were carried out on stretchers. It would be very dangerous if no one cared."
