"I remember, this is what you dried in the yard before, but at that time it was a slightly yellowish and slightly transparent dry strip." Zhang Caiping said.

Li Mumu smiled and nodded.

"I didn't expect it would turn out like this when cooked." She said, taking a sip. "It's so slippery, a little tough, a little chewy. It's so different from the texture of noodles."

"It's just that rice is expensive. The cost of doing this is a bit high." Li Mumu said.

"This can definitely be sold in the store. It's so delicious. The soup is extremely delicious. The meat slices have been scalded in boiling water and are much more tender than cooked. There are also more delicious mushrooms and fish fillets in the soup. Wang Cuizhen took another sip of soup, "We clearly mark the prices. If you think it's expensive, don't take it. We also have a lot of high-quality and low-priced food in our store."

"I think so too." Li Mumu said.

Then, Li Mumu cut open the chestnut steamed chicken, and the glutinous rice inside spilled out, with the chicken juice inside wrapped around the glutinous rice, making it crystal clear and thick.

"This steamed chicken with chestnuts brings good luck to Bai Yuan and means good fortune." Li Mumu said.

Li Mumu scooped a spoonful of glutinous rice for Gu Boyuan and let him taste it first.

Gu Boyuan stuffed all the glutinous rice into his mouth, "It's so sticky!"

"This glutinous rice is slightly sweet with red dates, and also coated with the fragrance of chicken juice. It is oily." Gu Boyuan's mouth was filled with oil.

Others had a bite of sticky rice and some chicken.

The steamed chicken is tender and juicy, because the chicken juice has seeped into the glutinous rice, so there is no waste at all.

"This squirrel mandarin fish is like a fish leaping over the dragon's gate." Li Mumu said, "I wish Bai Yuan can leap over the dragon's gate."

"Thank you, Third Aunt!" Gu Boyuan was delighted. These dishes were not only delicious, but also delicious, sour and sweet.

Early the next morning, the whole Gu family got up early before dawn to send Gu Boyuan to take the exam.

Especially Wang Cuizhen, who prepared all the things Gu Boyuan used for the exam last night and checked them back and forth several times.

Got up early again today.

Before dawn, I lit candles and counted them again.

After confirming that there was no problem, and seeing that the time was almost up, he called Gu Boyuan up again.

Even Gu Baijin, who was the youngest and didn't have to take the exam, got up early to see Gu Baijin into the examination room.

The Gu family was not far from the examination room, so they didn't rent a carriage.

Gu Shangqing inquired and found that there would be many carriages at the entrance of the examination room and it would be very crowded.

Since my home is not far away, I might as well just walk there.

Li Mumu cooked porridge for Gu Boyuan and specially made steamed buns with lighter taste.

This would prevent Gu Boyuan from being thirsty in the examination room and being thirsty but unable to drink water when answering questions. I drank too much water during the break and wanted to take a pee while answering the questions.

"This is meat pie made for you. Eat it at noon." Li Mumu said, "You can leave the examination room in the afternoon. I will make up for it in the evening when I come back."

Wang Cuizhen also made an insulated bag for the kettle, and stuffed the cotton cloth with thick cotton wool to make the water cool as slowly as possible.

Otherwise, it was cold and Gu Boyuan's stomach would be frozen if he ate cold meatloaf and drank cold water. Everything was ready and Gu Baiyuan finished his meal.

Everyone then escorted Gu Baiyuan to the entrance of the examination room.

When they arrived, there was already a long queue at the entrance of the examination room.

Candidates are queuing up one by one to undergo inspection before entering.

"Bo Yuan, don't be nervous. As Master Guan said, we don't expect to pass the exam this time. We are just here to gain some experience." Wang Cuizhen ordered.

"Okay." Gu Boyuan nodded, waved goodbye to everyone, and went to line up to enter.

The Gu family has been watching from a distance.

It wasn't until Gu Boyuan passed the inspection that the family's hearts became anxious again.

There's no use waiting outside, not knowing what's going on inside.

Everyone had to go home first.

Li Mumu didn't have the time to worry about restaurants and errand shops.

Even though I know that I can't do anything and waiting at home is useless, I still have no intention to do anything else.

Wang Cuizhen's heart became even more anxious, "Do you think it's okay for Bai Yuan to be inside? I see that although there are younger children, they are all older than him."

"What should I do if the table he writes on is too high for him?"

"What if he's hungry but it's not time to eat yet? Will it affect his performance?"

"Sister-in-law." Li Mumu held Wang Cuizhen's hand. "Although Bai Yuan is young, he always has his own ideas when talking and doing things. And when we were in Yong'an Village, we were too busy to take care of him. He You can do a lot of things by yourself.”

"Bo Yuan is not a child who has been pampered since childhood. He can do it on his own." Li Mumu said.

"Yes, when I was in Yong'an Village, he would run all over the village and even wanted to go into the mountains." Wang Cuizhen nodded, "When he was at home, he would help in the kitchen with Xiuxiu."

"Yes, so he can do many things. He is much better than those young masters who have servants to serve them since childhood." Li Mumu said, "Look at the queue. Although those children are older than Bai Yuan, they are still older than Bai Yuan. Seeing that they were dressed in exquisite and luxurious clothes, even the baskets and boxes in the queue were all taken by servants."

"We, Bai Yuan, all take it ourselves and line up there." Li Mumu said, "On weekdays, after school, we clean the table by ourselves, including pens, inks, papers and inkstones. When we return to our rooms, we also do it ourselves Read and study.”

"In the examination room, except for the different environment, the things you do are actually the same as at home." Li Mumu said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much."

"That's right when you say so." Wang Cuizhen nodded.

"It will be April when the government examination is held. The weather will be warm by then, so I will boil the water and use the kettle cover you made to keep it warm. By noon, although the water is not boiling hot, But it must still be hot enough." Li Mumu said, "When the time comes, I will fold the noodles into a square cake at home and put it in a pot to fry. This way the noodles can be kept for a long time. Then I will fry some seasoning powder."

"At noon, Baiyuan will soak the noodles in hot water, and they will look like freshly cooked noodles." Li Mumu said with a smile, "In this way, Baiyuan can also eat fresh and hot noodles, which is better than chewing noodles." Dry pancakes are good.”

"It's cold now, so just the scalding hot water in the morning, no matter how thick it is wrapped in cotton wool, the water will be cold at noon. So I can only make meatloaf for him. It's not so dry, but at least it's easier to eat. .”

"This... that kid from Bai Yuan doesn't know if he can pass the exam this time, so you are thinking about the government exam in April." Wang Cuizhen said this, but her face burst into laughter.

Li Mumu said: "I was worried that I would put pressure on Bai Yuan, so I didn't say it. But actually, I am very confident about Bai Yuan's county examination this time. I am afraid that the case will be difficult. After all, Bai Yuan is only five years old. Let's go Looking at those candidates, they are all older than Bai Yuan and have studied for many more years than him. But I am still very confident that I will pass the exam."
