When Ling San and his companions heard this, they rushed over and said, "No, Madam, we brothers are just hungry. I'll eat!"
Ling San opened his mouth to eat the jelly, but Chi Xingyue stopped him: "Wait, the seasoning hasn't been added yet!"
Ling San paused and put the basin on the table.
Chi Xingyue added salt, vinegar, soy sauce, chili oil, and some sesame paste.
Add shredded cucumber, shredded carrot, and fried peanuts.
Just a little mixing, it looks very appetizing.
Ling San swallowed his saliva and gulped down a large bowl of mung bean jelly.
Still feeling unsatisfied.
After a moment, he rubbed his stomach and frowned.
Chi Xingyue was afraid that something might go wrong, so he quickly called in Doctor Cheng.
After taking the pulse, Doctor Cheng looked serious.
He stood up and asked, "Are you a pig? You actually ate yourself to death! What good thing is this? Give me some!"
Chi Xingyue: "..."
Okay, the jelly is fine, let’s eat!
Aunt Taohua cut up the remaining two pots and made a cold salad.
Each member of the Ling family had a small bowl, and they finished it in less than two minutes.
Ling Jiyi licked his lips and said, "Second sister-in-law, this is delicious. Can we take it to the county town to sell it?"
Chi Xingyue nodded: "Of course, but this thing is not cheap, I don't think you can make any money."
Ling Jiyi didn't believe it, so after obtaining Chi Xingyue's consent, he went to the village to collect mung beans.
But I found that very few people planted it.
Ling Jiyi asked Shunzi to go to the county to buy it again, and found that the price was really expensive. The key point was that there was a purchase limit.
Ling Jiyi was speechless and went back to review his lessons dejectedly.
Chi Xingyue spread his hands and thought that if there were false Physalis or agar-agar grass on the mountain, it could be developed into a business.
Relying on mung beans, the profit is really small.
In this way, the food will remain in the Ling family.
Eat it as many times as you can while the weather is still hot. When the weather gets cooler, you need to warm up your body.
The day of the results announcement came in a blink of an eye. Ling Jiheng was reading calmly in the house, without any panic at all.
Even Ling Jiyi was forced to write a policy paper.
Erzhu, on the other hand, couldn't hold his temper and went to the county early in the morning.
He was particularly strong among the servants, and it didn't take him long to squeeze to the front.
Unfortunately, the list hasn’t been posted yet.
Erzhu waited and waited, and finally the yamen runners arrived.
Stick red paper on the wall, and stick several pieces at a time.
Looking from right to left, the first column has nothing.
The second one, no.
The third, fourth, fifth, sixth...
Finally, I saw Ling Jiyi’s name on the second to last picture.
Erzhu breathed a sigh of relief, but became even more nervous.
Take a few deep breaths and continue.
He silently repeated the name on the first piece of red paper in his mind, and finally, he saw the name of his master in the middle.
Erzhu jumped happily on the spot, but didn't shout "I got it!"
After all, he passed the exam at the tender age, so there is nothing to be proud of.
All I can say is that you have stepped half a step into the circle of scholars and are now qualified to study in government-run schools.
Erzhu excitedly pushed through the crowd and returned to Qingshan Village to report the good news.
By the way, I booked a room at Hongfu Inn for five days.
Although the passing rate of the Tongshi exam is the highest among the several exams, there are still some people who fail.
Erzhu looked at their tears and was glad that his master and the third young master had barely passed.
The small whip hit the cow's butt, and the old cow mooed and rushed out.
We rode along the way and it didn't take long to reach Qingshan Village.
When the villagers asked him what he had been doing, Erzhu didn't say anything.
He just kept laughing, hehe, so disgusting.
I trotted back home and told everyone the good news.
It's just that it's quite difficult, because the master and the third young master almost failed the exam.
Ling Jiheng didn't believe it and asked him in detail what he thought.
As a result, a slap hit Erzhu on the back of the head: "Are you stupid? Look from the back to the front!"
Erzhu was stunned for a long time before realizing that he had made a mistake.
He immediately said excitedly: "Master, on the first paper, are you among the top few in Yunrou County?"
As expected, yes, but it’s not in the top three?
Ling Jiheng smiled, feeling that it was both expected and somewhat unexpected.
His performance this time was quite stable, even slightly worse.
I just want to pass safely, but I don’t want to rush to the top few.
It’s pretty good. The results are not outstanding, but they are acceptable.
When the old lady realized that the two had passed the county exam, she happily asked someone to prepare a big dinner to celebrate.
In the blink of an eye, he saw the villagers blocking the door, their eyes shining with envy.
The old lady quickly asked someone to bring some peanuts, melon seeds, and malt sugar. She also went to the garden outside, picked a few peaches, cut them up, and treated everyone to them.
"Old lady, your grandson is really promising!"
The old lady smiled and waved her hands: "Well, this is only the first round, and it's still a long way to go before we can pass the exam. I don't know how far these two can go!"
"Ji Heng and Ji Yi are both very smart. When they become high-ranking officials in the future, don't forget our Qingshan Village!"
"How could I forget? This is the root of our Ling family."
It’s only been two or three years since the incident in Jiangning Prefecture, but it feels like it happened in my past life.
Ever since they settled in Youzhou, they have been residents of Qingshan Village. From then on, this place became their ancestral home.
The villagers were happy to hear this and praised Ling Jiheng a few more times before leaving whispering to each other.
I plan to go to the homes of other people taking the county exam to watch the fun.
After a brief celebration, the Ling family fell silent again.
Because the second round of exams is about to begin.
