Chapter 678

For example, for scholars, as long as there is a scholar in the family, they can be exempted from tax.

Now all the land in the family is recorded in Qiao Changshun's name, five hundred acres, all in his name, and if he wants to be tax-free, he can only wait for Qiao Dami to be admitted as a scholar.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xiaomai began to ramble on about the benefits of reading to Qiao Dami, and didn't stop until Tong Sanlang came back.

She couldn't wait to wash the carrots, then cut them into small pieces, and grind the carrots into juice like a sweet potato.

Put these juices into a pot, add a small amount of water, and put the peeled sweet potatoes in it to cook.

She experiments with a small part first, and if she fails, she will think of other ways.

The sweet potato was cooked in a short while, and the surface was indeed stained with the color of carrot juice as she thought, but the color inside remained unchanged after being cut.

Seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai cut the sweet potatoes into extremely thin slices and put them back into the pot for dipping.

The sweet potato slices were thin enough that the slight taupe inside was negligible while the outer layer was all the color of the carrot.

Bake the dyed sweet potato slices in the oven, and the result will appear quickly. This method is feasible.

Carrot juice covers up the taupe very well. Although the effect is far less than that of red soil sweet potatoes, it will definitely not make people think of mouse droppings.

Moreover, the taste of the carrot itself is very light, which does not affect the original taste of the dried sweet potato.

This appearance can be presented to those wealthy nobles.

However, this method is somewhat troublesome, and the thought of raising the price flashed in Qiao Mai's mind.

Forget it, the first battle will be troublesome.

Besides, Fan Jia had already given money at the price of three hundred Wen per catty.

Moreover, Yang Ye has to send some over there, and I have to explain...

Ouch, there are so many things to do!

And with these things, the day of releasing the emperor's list is coming.

The imperial list is to be posted outside the county office for public announcement. Each county has five places every three years. Because there is Bailu Academy in Huai'an County, the number of places in Huai'an County is ten.

Early this morning, County Magistrate Dai personally posted the imperial list outside the county office.

There were ten names clearly written on it, and the one at the top of the list was a man named Tong Zhan.

The second is a man named Sun Junyan.

Qiao Maimai and Tong Sanlang got up in the middle of the night, ate something casually, and then drove the ox cart to the county town. On the big day when the rankings were announced, neither of them could maintain their composure.

The two came early, and the others came earlier than them. When they arrived, it was just dawn. As a result, the gate of the county government office was already full of people, and the two of them could only park the ox cart aside.

After waiting for another hour, the magistrate Dai went to the yamen, wearing an official uniform, and pasted the bright red imperial list on the wall outside the yamen.

Qiao Xiaomai stood on the bullock cart, tiptoeing to look at the paper. Tong Sanlang was tall, long-legged, and had excellent eyesight. The moment Magistrate Dai stretched out the imperial list, he saw his name.

Very good, as long as the name is on it, it means that you have passed the provincial examination and you are a scholar.

The heart he had been carrying these days was relieved.

By the time magistrate Dai posted the imperial list, he had already seen all the contents above.

He really won the first place, Zhong Jieyuan.

However, there are also bad ones, Sun Junyan is No.2.

The confident look on Sun Junyan's face that day turned out to be true, he really knew the questions on the test paper.

Pursing his lips, Tong Sanlang looked at Qiao Maimai and whispered, "I am first, and Sun Junyan is second."

Following his words, Magistrate Dai stepped aside, and the imperial list that he had previously blocked was revealed in front of the big guy.

Qiao Maimai stared at the content on the imperial list, and matched Tong Sanlang's words in her ear, she subconsciously swears, "Damn!"
