Chapter 140: A letter from the master!
Gu Feixue gave a wink, and Luo Li fooled her by saying that Gu Feixue got up late today.
Bao Shouxin was puzzled, but the crowd over there couldn't contain themselves.
Someone recognized that Gu Tingchuan and Bao Shouxin were both students of Jiangzhou Academy. Even the self-heating lunch boxes they used in the examination room were certainly not a trick.
For a moment, the families of the candidates who were watching took out their money, fearing that if they acted too late, all their things would be stolen.
Luo Li was collecting money while telling people to pack up. Gu Feixue, however, was watching from behind with sparkling eyes. It seemed that these students were the easiest to earn money from.
This day alone was worth several months' worth of revenue for the shop. What a huge profit!
After a while, the self-heating food boxes on the stall were sold out. Later, when the Jiangzhou students arrived, they bought up all the self-heating buns and cooking buns.
At this point, all the goods that Gu Feixue had stockpiled were sold out, and the net profit for the day was over a hundred taels.
At this time, the examination room was finally opened. Gu Feixue took advantage of the fact that no one was around to cheer Gu Tingchuan up.
After Gu Tingchuan entered the examination room, Gu Feixue and the others packed up their stalls and prepared to go home.
At this time, a few people came over from afar, looking exhausted, and seemed to be the candidates and their families who had finished their journey.
"Gu'er, didn't I hear on the way that there are people selling food containers for cooking at the exam center?"
Bagua was also a little puzzled when he heard this. They had just arrived from Liangcheng yesterday and almost got up late this morning and missed the trip.
On the way, I heard that someone was selling food boxes that could be used to steam rice and vegetables in cold water in front of the examination hall, but I didn't see any when I arrived.
"Maybe it's a lie?"
While saying this, Bagua couldn't help but think of the Liangcheng Academy Examination a few years ago, when someone also used a magical food box to cook food in the examination room.
He happened to be a candidate in the same examination room at the time, and the whole exam was extremely painful.
In the end, that person topped the list. His surname was Gu, and his name was Gu Tingchuan. However, two years ago, there was a rumor among students in Jiangzhou that he had died in a fire at home.
So when he heard the rumor on the road, Bagua thought that this kind of food box had already existed in Jiangzhou.
The group asked people who had not yet entered the examination room and found out that the self-heating lunch boxes had been sold out.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ba, the landlord, naturally regretted coming so late.
"But it seems that the lunch box seller has a student taking the exam at home today. You could go ask him, maybe he has some spares."
Perhaps because he couldn't bear it, the passerby pointed out a clear way for the Ba family.
After asking, he got some unexpected news.
"I don't know his name, but it seems to be Gu. You'll know if you go in and ask around."
Last name Gu?
After the examiner came in with the examination materials, I asked around but got nothing.
As the exam was about to begin, he saw a group of candidates walking by not far ahead.
He seemed to have seen the leader somewhere before.
I only heard faint laughter coming from the front:
"Tingchuan, what place are you planning to take in the exam?"
Bagua's eyes widened when he heard this. He looked at the young man who was shaking his head modestly, and then compared it with his memory. His expression became even more surprised.
Tingchuan? Gu Tingchuan? Could it be the Gu Tingchuan from Liangcheng?
Thinking of the self-heating lunch boxes outside the examination room, Bagua's face showed disbelief for a moment.
Didn't the Gu family die in the fire? Why did they appear in Jiangzhou?
When Bagua wanted to carefully confirm Gu Tingchuan's appearance, the examiner announced that they could take their seats.
In the end, Bagua could only enter his own examination room cubicle with a heart full of surprise and confusion.
In the following three days, the Jiangzhou candidates worked hard to answer the questions.
Examiners and invigilators found that the number of students leaving the exam room during the exam this year was unprecedentedly low.
Of course, they also found that in this year's examination hall, many candidates were able to steam food with warm water.
The examiner asked the officer at the entrance of the examination room and found out that there was a magical self-heating food box circulating in Jiangzhou.
After three days, when the family members who had been eagerly waiting outside the examination hall saw that many candidates walked out of the examination hall, they were more energetic than ever before, and were suddenly shocked.
The vendors selling food like steamed buns and noodles outside the examination hall were all amazed:
"It's a strange thing. In previous years, candidates would be so eager to be carried out after leaving the examination room. Why are they so energetic this year?"
Soon after, these stall owners found out that everything was due to a thing called a self-heating lunch box.
This time, the whole Gu family came out to pick up Gu Tingchuan. Seeing that Gu Tingchuan looked good and confident, the Gu family knew that he had done well in the exam.
When Gu Tingchuan got on the carriage, he didn't know that this scene was seen by the Bagua in the distance.
Bagua's face was very pale. He had suffered the same hardships as in the Liangcheng Academy Examination. This time he had endured them all again.
Following Gu Tingchuan from a distance, Bagua saw that the other party's appearance was indeed 70% similar to Gu Tingchuan, whom he had met in the examination room two years ago. In addition to surprise, he also felt a little unwilling.
The Ba family was one of the top landlords in Liangcheng, and the private schools he attended were the best in Liangcheng. Yet, he barely made it into the college entrance examination. He believed that this was all because of the influence of Gu Tingchuan's food.
He still didn't do well in the exam this time. The people who used the lunch box were not only the person suspected to be Gu Tingchuan, but also many other candidates.
The Gu family was unaware of the Ba family's discovery, so everyone returned to the Gu family and started celebrating.
In order to give Gu Tingchuan, who had been reading every day for the past two years, some relaxation, Gu Feixue personally organized many activities and added many bonuses.
Everyone in the Gu family, whether they are the boss, employees or servants, all join in the banquet and activities.
The competition is about which group can produce the most qualified finished bread and essential oils in the shortest time.
The ingredients are provided by the Gu family, and the finished products are awarded to the winning group, who can decide whether to use them themselves or sell them.
That night, the five bakery workshops named Li, Yi, Ren, Zhi and Xin, and the five essential oil workshops named Jin, Mu, Shui, Huo and Tu started a fierce competition.
The winners in the end were the Xinzihao bakery and the Jinzihao essential oil workshop.
Including the bonus given by Gu Feixue, each person in the winning team can earn nearly twenty taels of silver.
These two workshops were envied by everyone for a while, and they were determined to take the lead next year.
Liangcheng's embroidered feathered clothes.
In the past two years, Chunyue has grown from a fledgling shopkeeper to the capable person she is today.
After delivering a new batch of rouge to the warehouse, Chunyue came to the shop to take care of the business.
"Is your shopkeeper here?"
Chunxiang was holding a basket and asking Jinxiu's question when she heard a joyful voice from behind:
"Chun Xiang! Why are you here?"
After saying that, he flew over and the two of them shook hands and exchanged some pleasantries.
Since Chunyue became the shopkeeper, she moved to a shop in the city, and we could only see each other during the holidays.
Chunxiang was even busier, busy training the masters of Zuixianlou all day long. Following Gu Feixue's suggestion, she recruited some girls in the city as apprentices. The farm staff were noisy and inconvenient, so they had to move to other places in the village.
“I’ve come to bring you something.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Chunxiang shook the basket in her hand and whispered in Chunyue's ear with indescribable joy: "Master has sent a letter!"
