A thick, inconspicuous smell of rice flickered in the examination room, causing many people to stir their throats and poke their heads out of the room. The source of the fragrance, Pei Jinzhi, unhurriedly brought down the pot containing the rice porridge from the stove. In the food basket he brought, there were twenty milk and honey steamed buns specially made by Rong Xia, and Pei Jinzhi took out a palm-sized porcelain jar, which contained pickles made by Rong Xia, one was sour radish slices, and the other was hemp cucumbers. Rong Xia's hometown belongs to the plateau area, which is mountainous, so it is not particularly rich in rice. At first, Rong Xia's brother just planned to raise crabs, but later because she raised crabs very well at home, and heard others say that there was a method called "rice field crab farming", the brother and sister invited an agricultural worker who knew this aspect to come over and specially opened 20 acres of rice fields next to the canal in their village, so the rice they got is also called crab field rice. Crab field rice, the rice grains are long and white, after cooking, the rice aroma is strong, eat into the mouth, the taste is mellow meat, it is really a rare good rice.

Pei Jinzhi smiled in a good mood, and the figure of the petite child who couldn't even hide his expression flashed in his eyes.

Pei Jinzhi was eating and drinking here, but he was bitter to the candidates around him, smelling the aroma of food wafting from others, and comparing the things in his own hands, he really felt a little pitiful!

The time of the nine days passed in a flash, and as the examiner rang the examination bell, the township examination was completely over here.

He An waited at the gate of the Gongyuan early, and as soon as the gate opened, a large number of examinees rushed out. He An crossed his toes, stretched his neck, and searched the crowd vigorously, his eyes were strangely good, he really saw his master.

"Young Master!Young Master!Here!!!" He An shouted loudly.

Pei Jinzhi walked over with the examination basket Shi Shiran, compared to the weak appearance of other candidates who had taken off their skin, Pei Jinzhi looked fine, except that his face was tired, his steps were more vain, and he looked neat. In front of the gate of the Pei family, Rong Xia was already waiting there. So as soon as Pei An got out of the carriage, he saw the little girl with a red face blowing on her face.

"Young Master" Rong Xia walked over and called slightly. Then, he had the courage to take the test basket that Pei Anzhi was carrying, and said to the man shyly and happily: "You're back!"

"En!" Pei Jinzhi chuckled, stretched out his hand, and patted Rong Xia's little head: "Young Master wants to eat the noodles cooked by Xiao Axia again!"

"Okay, I'm going to cook noodles for the young master... Cook a pot of noodles. Rong Xia felt that her heart was beating very fast, and her face began to burn.

Pei Jinzhi looked at the pink little girl who seemed to be smoking, smiled slightly, and walked towards the door first.

The township test is over, which also means that Pei Jinzhi's days of studying behind closed doors are also over, and some necessary social activities will start again, he began to go out frequently, or visit an elder's house, or invite a wine banquet with his classmates, or participate in various poetry meetings held by some students, and he is very busy. And Rong Xia also has his own things to do, first of all, with the advent of late autumn, the weather temperature plummets, and the vegetables in the garden are afraid that it will not last long, Rong Xia has to increase the supply of Lingjing water, hoping to harvest another batch at the end. Secondly, she began to prepare sauerkraut. There doesn't seem to be such a thing as 'sauerkraut' in the customs here, but considering the amount of greens that can be eaten in winter, Rong Xia feels that sauerkraut is still very necessary. Rong Xia chose the cabbage with large green and white leaves, removed the yellow leaves, cut off the roots, and washed them. Next to each other at the bottom of the tank, a circle is four, each circle is finished, a certain amount of coarse salt will be sprinkled, until all are paved, and then sprinkled with a certain amount of salt, and finally the heavy pickle, pickled cabbage water, all are Lingjing water, Rong Xia will pour out a certain amount of old water every two days, put in new water. In addition, Rong Xia also tried to make a few pickles, one called five-spiced shredded radish, and the other called pickled garlic.

Some time ago, the housekeeper received a batch of peanuts and melon seeds. also let Rong Xia get it out, the melon seeds are fried with five flavors and milk and salt, and the peanuts are salted and fried. He An especially likes to eat five-spiced melon seeds, and he can be seen standing at the door with his teeth sipping. Although the housekeeper Yu is old, his teeth are still very good, and the salted peanuts are very popular with him, and as for the little Gensheng, he is willing to eat anything, and he can often see his small pockets full of delicious things.

As for the second young master Pei Jinzhi, he has recently become obsessed with the delicious food of tofu. Of course, the soybeans as raw materials are provided in Rong Xia's Lingjing space, and there is a ready-made stone mill in the old house of Pei Mansion, and the tofu ordered by Rong Xia is not snow-white like ordinary tofu, but slightly yellowish, but when you eat it, it is as smooth and tender as silk, and the taste is simply beautiful. Now Second Young Master Pei will have a bowl of hot tofu flowers every morning.

Time passed quietly in this kind of hustle and bustle, and after more than ten days, the results of the township examination, which was concerned about the hearts of countless candidates, were finally about to reveal its true face of Lushan. Pei Anzhi sat there, looking like a rabbit chasing his tail, and the little girl said, "If you turn it any further, the floor tiles will collapse for you." ”

This person's heart is too good. Rong Xia muttered in his heart.

"The young master is really not nervous at all!" the little girl said with a snorting look on her face.

Pei Jinzhi put down the scroll in his hand and said funny: "If nervousness can make me lift, then I am willing to be nervous from now until next spring." Rong Xia pursed her mouth, and an embarrassed expression appeared on her face.

"It's back, it's back!" At this moment, the angry voice of the housekeeper came from the gate of Pei's mansion.

Rong Xia heard the sound and ran out, only to see a few breaths later, He An rushed over with a grunt on his face, shouting as he ran: "Hit! Hit! The young master is the top of high school Xie Yuan!!!

I really got it!!

A big smile instantly appeared on Rong Xia's small face, and the whole person was about to cry with excitement. She has seen with her own eyes how hard Pei Jinzhi has studied hard, and now that this hard work has been duly rewarded, this is really good!

"Young master, young master... You've been admitted. Rong Xia began to shed tears as she swished, she was so happy.

Pei Jinzhi smiled, walked over, and touched her little head: "The copper coins prepared by Axia can come in handy now." ”

Rong Xia twitched his nose, the excitement and joy in his heart really couldn't be expressed in words.

It's just like when she sold her first bag of home-grown grain, full of pride.

He An came back first to report the news, and soon, the gate of Pei's Mansion was fully opened, and Butler Yu happily hung two firecrackers at the door. A quarter of an hour later, the jubilant officials came to report the good news surrounded by the surrounding people, and when the leading yacha shouted that Pei Jinzhi had won the first place in the township test, the whole scene erupted in huge cheers.

The atmosphere was simply incredible. And Rong Xia was also busy standing beside Pei Jinzhi, and the scattered coins filled three wicker baskets, and her "wealth girl" was in full swing! But it's clear that her work is much more than that.

That night, a table of delicious dishes appeared in front of Pei Jinzhi's eyes.

"You all sit down!" Pei Jinzhi said with a chuckle after making a round.

Rong Xia and He An glanced at each other, but the old housekeeper Yu on the side shook his head, and said: "Second young master, this is not in accordance with the rules, we all understand the kindness, you better eat it yourself!"

"Regardless of the rules of identity today. Pei Jinzhi slightly accentuated his tone, and then beckoned to Rong Xia: "Axia, come here!"

Rong Xia pursed her lips and leaned over cautiously.

"You sit here!" Pei Jinzhi said, pointing to the position beside him.

Rong Xia hesitated, but after seeing Pei Jinzhi's insistent eyes, he still sat down obediently.

When everyone saw that Rong Xia was sitting, they no longer insisted, after all, being able to eat at the same table with the master was also a great dignity and blessing!

So on a round table, Pei Jinzhi sat at the top, Rong Xia sat next to him on the left-hand side, and below was He An. The old housekeeper Yu sat on Pei Jin's right hand, his son Yu Dayong and daughter-in-law Miao Cuilan sat on the lower hand, and Gensheng also went to the table.

Everyone was nervous at first, but when they raised their chopsticks to eat the first bite of the food, these nervousness were instantly thrown away. Shredded fish-flavored pork, crispy fluffy spinach, steamed sea bass, ham loofah, braised short ribs, shredded leeks and potatoes, Yipin tofu, and a duck pot with three fresh soups. The meat and pork ribs are stored in the space, and most of the vegetables come from the yard, which are more or less mixed with Lingjing water, plus Rong Xia's quite good cooking skills, so it can be imagined how it tastes.

Gensheng is the most affordable, the whole head is almost buried in the rice bowl, the sweet and sour fish-flavored shredded meat is simply beautiful!

Seeing that everyone was happy to eat, Rong Xia opened a jar of wine with a smile.

This wine is a five-pound pack of dense jujube wolfberry wine, and there are only ten small jars stored in Rong Xia's space.

As soon as the mud seal was opened, a mellow and graceful aroma of wine could not wait to waft out.
