Chapter 1359 The Sunflower Field is a Hit
The students from Jiangyuan County took the provincial examination in Dong'an Prefecture, so the county town wasn't as lively as the county examination.
Having witnessed the county examination, Shu Rui naturally wanted to see the prefectural examination as well. Therefore, the day before the prefectural examination began, he, Erniu, and Dabao were all taken to the prefectural city by Zhao Xi.
If it weren't for Zhao Xi leading the way, given the current state of the prefectural city, we probably wouldn't even be able to find an inn to stay in.
Shu Yu's only concern regarding the prefectural examination was Meng Yunzheng.
After the letter about the beads was sent, Meng Yunzheng replied, saying only that he knew and that he couldn't say anything more.
Shu Yu continued working in the workshop, but what she didn't expect was that her sunflower field would unexpectedly become famous among the students, even though she hadn't promoted the benefits of instant noodles.
Most candidates for the prefectural examination arrived in the prefectural city about ten days in advance; if they arrived late, they wouldn't even have a place to stay.
When they set off, the sunflowers had only grown a little taller and the flowers had not yet bloomed. From a distance, they were still a large expanse of green, so the test takers didn't notice them.
Besides, they were in a hurry to take the exam and really didn't have the time to appreciate the scenery along the way.
However, they stayed in the prefectural city for about ten days, took the prefectural examination, and then waited for the results. This took more than a month, and when they returned, it was just when the sunflowers were in bloom.
Shu Yu's sunflower field is located on the only road from Jiangyuan County to Fucheng. Moreover, another county also passes through here on its way to Fucheng.
Therefore, the returning students slowed down their journey and happened to encounter the beautiful sight of golden sunflowers swaying in the wind.
For these test takers, whether they passed or failed, seeing such a scene makes them want to compose a poem or create a painting.
Shu Yu's sunflower field unexpectedly became a hit among students.
It's currently the peak blooming season, and many people, upon hearing the news, have invited each other to come and enjoy the spring scenery.
Springtime is just right, the sun is shining brightly, isn't that what everyone loves to pursue?
This land is located between the prefectural city and the county town, so it is not troublesome for students from the prefectural city to come here. Several people can take a carriage and arrive at the place in no time.
Some people have also discovered that the view from the hillside where the black market is located is absolutely breathtaking.
It's a great place to enjoy the scenery and go hiking.
This development caught Shu Yu completely off guard.
She was stunned, and then immediately began to mobilize manpower. Although these candidates were all educated and concerned about their image, and their behavior was restrained, it was hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be some unscrupulous people who broke into the field to pick flowers and cause damage.
Since the other two workshops at Lu Ji's workshop, besides the instant noodle workshop, weren't too busy, Shu Yu transferred some people over to patrol and guard the area near the sunflower.
By the way, I'd like to take this opportunity to promote my instant noodles.
It's perfect.
However, just two days later, an even better idea came to us.
It was Lu Sixing again; she wanted to set up a food stall near the sunflowers.
When the melon seeds first came out last time, she bought them wholesale from Shu Yu and sold them in the peach orchard, earning several taels of silver. This gave Lu Sixing a taste of success.
However, Taolin is located in the county town. Although you can't sell flavorful or hot food inside Taolin, there are stalls and small shops everywhere outside Taolin.
There is indeed a lot of foot traffic, and the competition is fierce.
Moreover, tourists in the peach orchard can still go home for lunch in time.
