Ningxi's current residence is quite remote, and when they come from elsewhere, they have to pass through two clean corners, and Ningxi has set up checkpoints at these two corners.

The first place was to place a money bag with small white flowers on a blue background in a conspicuous position under a locust tree, which was stuffed with a few pieces of broken silver and a large copper plate, so that Meng Shuangshuang hid aside and secretly watched how the passers-by reacted.

The appointed hour was approaching, and the No. 1 candidate hurriedly walked over, suddenly paused in front of the money bag, looked around, quickly picked up the money bag and stuffed it into his sleeve, and then continued to walk forward as if nothing happened, at this time Meng Shuangshuang looked excited with "I haven't caught you yet!" The expression popped up, causing Candidate No. 1 to take two steps back.

Meng Shuangshuang's slender jade finger stretched out in front of Candidate No. 1: "Okay, take it out, you don't have to take the rest of the exam, we won't choose a greedy person." ”

The other party had no choice but to return the money bag that had not yet been covered to Meng Shuangshuang, and turned around and left with a look of chagrin.

didn't go far and met the second who strode over the meteor, Song Tianshun, who lived in the opposite door of his house, couldn't help sneering in his heart, the poor boy with the four walls of the family also came to join in the fun, his mother was still lying on the hospital bed waiting for the silver to buy medicine, he didn't believe that this poor boy could hold back the silver.

Therefore, when Song Tianshun greeted No. 1, No. 1 just raised the corner of his eyes coldly, and did not intend to pay attention to him.

Song Tianshun didn't care, smiled and continued to walk forward, and when he arrived under the locust tree, he naturally saw the blue background white money bag, picked it up and opened it in confusion, and gasped: "So much money, whoever loses it must die in a hurry!" ”

Song Tianshun held the money bag in his hand and looked at both ends of the road, quietly there was no one in him, scratched his head in embarrassment, paced a few steps in place, and looked up at the sky again, obviously worried that he would miss the time and delay the exam, and he didn't know what to do with the money bag in his hand.

Meng Shuangshuang just wanted to jump out, but suddenly Song Tianshun seemed to have made up his mind, and stood firm in place, just looking at both sides of the road from time to time, and he was determined to wait for the owner here.

Meng Shuangshuang walked out with a smile: "Hey, isn't this Brother Song?" I remember your number is number two, and the hour is almost here, why are you still standing here? ”

Song Tianshun touched his head apologetically: "I don't know who lost a money bag here, I want to wait here to see if the owner can be recovered." ”

Meng Shuangshuang was unhappy: "Is it important to take the exam or is it important to wait for the owner?" Is my stall so worthless to you? ”

Song Tianshun was so anxious that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet: "No, no, Miss Meng, don't get me wrong, I really don't mean this, the exam is naturally important, but, this ......" raised the money bag in his hand to Meng Shuangshuang to see, "Look at this money bag, it is all used and reluctant to replace it with a new one, which means that the owner of this money bag must not be a rich person, and he must be very anxious if he loses the money bag, and he will definitely come back to find it." And there is so much money in the purse, and there is a medical clinic not far away, maybe this is life-saving money! If I just leave, this money bag will be picked up by someone else, wouldn't it be a human life for no reason! ”

Meng Shuangshuang pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, isn't this the money bag of Aunt Wang in front?" ”

Song Tianshun looked at her uncertainly: "Really? ”

"The pearls are not so real, I have watched Aunt Wang take them out several times, you look at it, the white flowers are a little brown, or the fish blood that was accidentally splashed when I bought fish with her a few days ago. By the way, I heard Aunt Wang say yesterday that Uncle Wang was sick and was about to go to her son-in-law's house to borrow some money to see the doctor. Meng Shuangshuang said nonsense.

Song Tianshun hurriedly said: "Then you have to send someone back quickly!" ”

Meng Shuangshuang took the money bag: "Leave this matter to me, I am very familiar with Aunt Wang, so I will help you send it over, you hurry up to the exam, it will be too late at this time." ”

"Then it's hard Miss Meng!" Song Tianshun bowed his hand to her, turned around and strode away.

Meng Shuangshuang pretended to take a few steps in the opposite direction of him, saw that Song Tianshun's figure was gone, and jumped back again, put the money bag back in its place, and hid again, giggling and laughing: "This is quite fun!" ”

Ning Xi said that this level is to test whether the people who come to the exam are greedy for money, if the greedy people take over their stalls, they will definitely cut corners, and even buy cheap and spoiled raw materials to be shoddy, so they don't have to break their signboards.

I didn't expect that there were a lot of people who were greedy for money, it was only less than a morning, six of the ten people in the past were directly picked up and carried into their arms, four of them passed the level, and one didn't see the money bag on the ground at all, and walked over directly without squinting, Ning Xi didn't tell Meng Shuangshuang what to do when he encountered this situation, but she thought, if he didn't look down when he walked, it meant that he didn't have the idea of picking up money at all, and he was definitely not a greedy person, so he didn't stop him.

In the second level, Ning Xi specially invited an old beggar from the land temple outside the city, this old beggar was dirty and tattered, and the sour smell of his body could be smelled ten steps away.

When the man came to him, the old beggar would reach out and pull the man's robe: "Be kind, save the old man, the old man has a bad stomach and is about to die, please do well, save the old man's life!" ”

Ning Xi watched from a hidden place on the side, and anyone who showed disgust on his face, or spoke ill of the old beggar or even added his fists and feet, was eliminated, and if he took out the silver to the old beggar with a pleasant face, or was not too dirty or tired, he personally helped him up and sent him to the hospital, Ning Xi came out and told him that he had passed the test, and agreed with someone to take the final time for the test, and let people go home first.

This level is a test of people's love, their own stalls, and nothing can fall into the hands of a selfish person.

Meng Shuangshuang really admired Ning Xi very much, originally she was still worried, a total of more than fifty people signed up, how to choose this, I didn't expect that Ning Xi bothered to set up these two levels to eliminate a large number of people, and in the end, there were only ten people left who could really take the exam.

Song Tianshun is one of them, and there is also a hearty and generous girl, named Zhou Chunli, whose parents died early, and she dragged a younger brother and a younger sister to live at a young age, and the family was so poor that when she saw the silver on the ground, she didn't have the selfishness to keep it for herself, Meng Shuangshuang liked her, and quietly told Ning Xi to hand over the stall to her.

Ke Ningxi said that since the examination is open, it must be fair and just, and there can be no favoritism.

Well, then take the exam.

The first question is to test the candidate's sense of taste, to make a good meal is not a good person, but also to pay attention to talent, if you can't even tell the difference between sweet and sour, it means that God didn't reward you with this mouthful of food, or leave as soon as possible.

Ning Xi's family was in poor condition, and he couldn't find a few more stools, ten candidates sat on the ground in the courtyard in a row, Meng Shuangshuang placed five cups in front of each of them, and then gave each person a piece of paper, a slender strip of charcoal, and then asked everyone to write down what was in the cup they tasted on paper.

As soon as this condition was finished, four people raised objections: "Girl, you are not embarrassed, and you didn't say that you have to be literate to come!" ”

Meng Shuangshuang hurriedly comforted everyone: "Don't worry, let's not take the handwriting test, it doesn't matter if you can't write, tell me quietly, I'll help you write on paper." ”

Only then did everyone feel at ease, and reached out to serve the cup in front of them, the two cups in front were very simple, a cup of vinegar and a glass of sugar water, almost everyone tasted a little and wrote it down immediately, and those who couldn't write also beckoned Meng Shuangshuang to go over and help write it down.

The third cup was difficult at the beginning, because it was not just one taste, but several mixtures, the first taste was one taste, and the first taste turned out to be low. Some people scratch their ears and cheeks, some people have a heart, and Meng Shuangshuang is interesting to watch from the sidelines.

The last cup was boiled with salt, sugar, vinegar and peppercorns, and finally soy sauce was added, the taste, Meng Shuangshuang licked a little and wanted to vomit, and some of the people who tasted it were grinning, but Zhou Chunli, a girl, still looked calm, and wrote a few lines with a brush.

So fast? Don't miss anything, Meng Shuangshuang walked behind and took a sneak peek while worried, it's amazing, it's all written correctly, none of them are bad, it seems that this time our Zhou girl has won.

Hey, who is that, Song Tianshun, why did he hand in the papers so quickly? Meng Shuangshuang hurriedly moved over to take a look, and it was all right.

After trying the taste, the next thing is for everyone to cook a dish, which is very simple, just ordinary fried vegetables, Ningxi wants to see not their cooking skills, but the feeling of cooking, there is no standard for judging this, but it can only be understood.

After two rounds, there were four people left, although Meng Shuangshuang looked at it and felt that Zhou Chunli was the best, but to be honest, the other three people were not bad, the taste questions were all right, and they were also very quick and capable.

"Ning Xi, how can you choose the rest of the people?"

"Don't worry, let's help chop these firewoods first." Ning Xi said calmly.

The remaining four candidates rushed to the firewood pile, the firewood was moved, the axe was picked, and the axe was picked up, and the chopped firewood was packed up next to the axe, and it was neatly stacked under the wall of the eaves, everyone regarded this as an exam question, for fear that Ning Xi would feel that he was afraid of being lazy.

Meng Shuangshuang nodded thoughtfully: "Ningxi, you are here to see if they can endure hardship!" ”

Ning Xi said: "No, I just thought that the firewood I bought yesterday must be chopped early, otherwise there will be no firewood in the kitchen in two days." ”

Meng Shuangshuang: "......"

After everyone was tired and sweating profusely and finally finished chopping all the firewood, Ning Xi clapped his palms and announced loudly: "Listen, now the four of you are qualified to take over our family's lo-mei stall, as long as anyone can come up with fifty taels of silver, I will accept him as an apprentice." ”

The whole courtyard fell silent all at once.
