The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

Although Cao Feng and his men are usually arrogant, they don't dare to act arrogantly when they arrive at the examination room, and they line up obediently.

There were several people between Cao Feng and Xiao Yan. Except for Xie Jing, the others were naturally from other academies.

Finally it was time to check Tao Cheng’s exam basket.

The servants and boys of the Tao family also quickly retreated, not daring to follow anymore.

Everything else was fine, but when Xu Ji and the others saw a small ginseng in a cloth bag taken out of Tao Chengkao's basket, their eyes widened.

Are you planning to eat this while taking the exam?

But it does replenish qi.

They also wanted to buy one or two small ginseng plants to take with them, but their family did not have enough money to purchase these things.

What Xu Ji and his classmates got in their exam baskets was similar to what most students got, very ordinary.

It was Xiao Yan's turn. The people who were checking saw that Xiao Yan had brought a few raw eggs and looked at him in surprise.

They had seen people bringing cooked eggs and salted duck eggs, which were of course cooked, but this was the first time they had seen people bringing raw eggs.

However, seeing that there was no mark on the shell, it was obviously a raw egg and there was no way to hide any cheating note inside, so they gently put the egg down again.

There's no way they dared not be rude.

Don't be rude to anyone.

After all, there will always be people who come to take the exam and become scholars, and maybe some of them will become officials in the future.

But who knows who will pass the exam and who will become an official in the future? Even if it is just a small official, it is not something that these small inspectors can compare with. What if someone really becomes an official in the future and comes to cause trouble for them?

So, naturally, we should treat them all the same. While carefully checking them, we should also be polite to these students and their things.

There were raw eggs in front, and when the inspector saw that Xiao Yan also brought some vegetables, he was still surprised, but he didn't look at Xiao Yan again.

However, Xie Jing, who was standing behind Xiao Yan, was stunned when he saw Xiao Yan brought raw eggs.

Seeing the green vegetables again, Xie Jing finally began to wonder: Is Ruoqing really here to take the exam?

When Cao Feng and the others saw the situation here, they were stunned for a moment, and then they wanted to laugh out loud and mock Xiao Yan madly.

As expected, peasants are peasants, not presentable. Look at what they are carrying.

But because this is an important examination venue, they still dare not act recklessly and cause any trouble.

So, they just bumped into each other and laughed a few times in private.

After entering the examination room, just find the cubicle with your name on it and enter it.

Once you enter the cubicle, you are not allowed to come out or look around or talk.

You are only allowed to enter the examination room this morning. No one will be allowed to enter after this morning.

Since I don’t have an exam today, I can cook for myself anytime, as long as I don’t leave the cubicle and don’t communicate with others.

But I have exams tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, so I can’t cook so casually.

You are only allowed to cook for one hour after the examination papers are collected at 4:15 pm every day.

But at other times, you can boil water. Water can be boiled at any time, and you can keep it burning as long as you have enough smokeless charcoal.

Dry food can naturally be eaten at any time, and it is normal to eat while taking the exam.

Only hot meals can be prepared and eaten at a specific time to avoid making too much noise and disturbing other candidates.

As for scholars, they basically let their children concentrate on studying at home, so they naturally cook less.

However, this was only the first day in the examination hall, and everyone basically brought food that was either cooked at home last night or cooked at home this morning, which only needed to be heated up and eaten.

In addition, many people are not entering the examination room for the first time, so naturally there are very few people who don’t know how to heat up their food.

Generally, as long as you can boil water, you can heat up the rice.

Even Cao Feng and other wealthy young men who had servants every day knew how to boil water. It was just that their movements were clumsy and not as skilled as others.

So, even if Xiao Yan cooked at noon and in the evening today, because many people were heating up the food and it was fragrant, naturally no one noticed that there was anything special about Xiao Yan.

The formal exam is tomorrow. In order to have more energy for the exam, some students go to bed early without waiting until dark.

Naturally, we sleep in a small cubicle. Such a small cubicle is extremely unfriendly to tall people, so they can only sleep curled up.

Xiao Yan is quite tall.

He looked around the small cubicle, then down at his long legs. Fortunately, he only had to sleep here for three nights.

At this time, Jiang Ningning and the others had already packed up their stall and gone home.

Jiang Ningning and the others have even prepared everything for tomorrow's stall.

Jiang Ningning even went under the shed to fiddle with her white fungus again.

After fiddling with the white fungus, seeing that it was still early, she decided to practice calligraphy for a while.

I also take time to practice calligraphy every day, and have been practicing for several days.

Although I can't practice for a long time every day, my handwriting is not as ugly as the first time I wrote it. It's a little better.

The reason why Jiang Ningning and her friends were able to close their stall and come back so early today was thanks to Tao Cheng's servant who came with his horse to buy grilled sausages.

But this time it was not bought for the Tao family, but for two poker friends of Tao Cheng's mother.

The two card-playing friends were also famous wealthy ladies in the county. When they tasted this while playing cards, they liked it very much and wanted to buy it and let everyone in their family try it.

Mrs. Tao was afraid that the servants would not be able to find the location of the stall, so she simply asked Tao Cheng's servant to come and buy it again. After all, it was a small matter and could be done by asking him.

The two rich ladies each asked for fifty sticks, for a total of one hundred sticks.

As expected, rich people spend money differently, buying dozens of them.

However, these one hundred grilled sausages would cost less than half a tael of silver in total, and I guess the two rich ladies wouldn't even care about them.

Because it was still early, the two families did not have dinner together today. Tian and Xiao Fushan had already gone back.

Jiang Shengcai was chopping firewood in the yard, while Sun was washing vegetables, preparing to cook dinner.

Just when Jiang Ningning was practicing calligraphy, Shen Chunhua came.

Shen Chunhua had a smile on her face, but Sun and Jiang Shengcai didn't let her in and just talked at the gate of the yard.

Jiang Ningning was originally sitting at the small table in the yard practicing calligraphy. Seeing this, she naturally stopped writing and looked outside.

"Uncle and aunt, this is the medical compensation for the cow. Please count it." Shen Chunhua said with an apologetic smile.

Her husband, her father-in-law, and her mother-in-law were all exiled. As the eldest sister-in-law, she naturally became the head of the family.

Fortunately, Jiang Er'an is useless. If Jiang Er'an could stand on his own, she wouldn't have to pay the money today.

Originally, her husband was exiled and she had no one to rely on, so she should not be happy. But without the oppression of her parents-in-law and her husband always taking his anger out on her, she found that her life was much better than before.

Then she would naturally be happier than before.

She really sold an acre of land, and after paying for the cow's medical treatment, she still had several taels of money left.
