In the examination room, there were candidates who came out after answering the questions and handing in the exam papers, Ning Xi was so anxious that she saw it, what if the person who framed her also handed in the papers and left? Thinking so, I couldn't help but anxiously turn around in circles at the door.

Another examiner B in the examination room noticed her abnormality, raised his head and looked at it a few times, suddenly his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly walked in front of Examiner A, who had just grabbed Ning Xi, and said in a low voice: "Isn't this girl the one who left the relationship between Lord Jingzhao Yin and Huang and cut in the queue to take the test?" ”

Examiner A thought about it carefully and slapped his forehead suddenly: "Oops, why didn't I think about it." He stood up and said loudly, "Don't leave all the candidates who have finished the exam, go to the next door and wait first." ”

Those candidates who came out felt inexplicable, but they could only wait obediently aside, and when people gradually came out, they began to whisper: "What the hell is going on?" ”

A chubby candidate said: "I've taken the exam four times, and the first three times I was able to leave after handing in the papers, and I haven't tried to stay like this time." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it: "Just like you, let's save some effort, anyway, you won't be able to pass the test again." ”

The fat candidate was anxious: "You can't pass the test, your whole family can't pass the test!" ”

Ning Xi couldn't help but laugh when he listened, and his originally anxious mood also relaxed.

When the exam time is over, the two examiners have collected all the papers, and the others put them aside first, and first find Ningxi's one, the handwriting is upright, and the volume is neat, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye at a glance, and after a closer look, they found that she answered very well, even much more detailed than the content on the cheat sheet, and the examiner B said: "Judging from this paper, it really doesn't look like a person who can cheat can answer it." ”

Examiner A muttered: "This alone does not mean that she has not read this cheat sheet, since we are the main examiner, we must act impartially, no matter what background she has, since we are now under us, we must act according to the rules, and we must not allow cheaters to pass lightly from our hands." ”

Examiner B said: "I have a way, let's just call Na Ningxi over and see if she can recite the answer." ”

Examiner A said: "That's right, let's do it, let's test her again, if she can really memorize it like a stream, then we won't bury talents." ”

So he called Ning Xi over, and disrupted the exam questions to test her one by one, Ning Xi smiled and talked eloquently, those two examiners not only do this business, but they are actually very insightful about cooking, but I didn't expect to listen to Ning Xi talk like this, even the things that I thought were extremely simple, I heard a little new idea, and suddenly I felt a sense of enlightenment.

Unconsciously, they were no longer in Kaoning Creek, but kept asking some questions that they didn't understand very well, and everyone discussed them together, and they became more and more interested, and they unconsciously talked about it for more than an hour.

Finally, a small official came over: "Two adults, those candidates have been waiting for a long time, I don't know what is the matter with the adults keeping them?" ”

Only then did the two examiners react, there were still a bunch of people waiting outside, and they arched their fists towards Ning Xi and said: "Miss Ning, talking to you about this today is really better than reading for ten years, we believe that at your level, you will never have to bring a cheat sheet to such a simple exam, please rest assured, we will give you justice in this matter anyway." ”

"Then thank you, Lord Examiner."

The two examiners found a few small officials, and were about to interrogate the candidates outside one by one, to find out who framed Ning Xi, and at this time, a hand was suddenly raised in the crowd.

Following everyone's gaze, Ning Xi saw that the owner of this hand was a white and clean young man, just a little thinner, not quite like a chef, a green cloth shirt had been washed very old, and he was wearing it cleanly and properly, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, his face turned red before he could speak.

Examiner A asked with a calm face, "What's your name and what do you have to say?" ”

The young man was obviously a little scared, and he shook involuntarily, and whispered: "Villain Feng Zhihai, look, I saw who threw the paper ball." ”

"Tell me, who is it?"

Feng Zhihai quietly looked up at his side, standing next to him was a strong man with a height of eight feet, the appearance of five big and three thick, one person can top him Feng Zhihai three, the strong man glared at Feng Zhihai fiercely, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the horizontal flesh on his face shook twice, Feng Zhihai was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head, and boldly pointed at the strong man on his side with his finger: "It's him." ”

The strong man grabbed Feng Zhihai by the collar with one hand and picked him up: "Stinky boy, dare to talk nonsense, believe it or not, Lao Tzu, if you pinch you to death, you will be like pinching an ant to death." ”

"Bold!" Examiner A slapped the table, "How can you hurt people's lives at will in broad daylight, hurry up and put people down!" ”

The strong man "snorted" and threw Feng Zhihai down like a chicken, Feng Zhihai stumbled a few steps before standing firmly: "My lord, the villain sat next to this person during the exam, and I saw with my own eyes the paper ball he threw when the examiners were not paying attention, it is not nonsense, villain, villain is willing to guarantee the results of this exam!" ”

"Lao Tzu said that no is no!" The strong man refused to admit it.

"It seems that you don't want to tell the truth without punishment, come on, the torture instrument is waiting!" Examiner B shouted.

The strong man seemed to be tough, but when he saw the black and heavy cane, he was suddenly stunned, and knelt down: "The adult spares his life, the villain is willing to move, then, the paper ball is indeed thrown by the villain." ”

Ning Xi said angrily: "I don't know you, why do you want to frame me?" ”

The strong man said: "I just accept money from people and do things for others, not deliberately trying to frame you." ”

"So who is trying to harm me?" Ning Xi asked, she didn't offend anyone, why recently, as if everything was being targeted?

The strong man stiffened his neck: "I don't know!" ”

Examiner A shouted angrily again: "What a big boldness, come on, give me 20 boards first!" ”

The strong man immediately kowtowed and said: "Adults spare their lives, the villain really doesn't know, last night, the villain was drinking in the house, and suddenly heard a sound, as if someone threw something into the villain's yard, at that time the villain thought that someone was deliberately teasing, chased out and scolded two sentences, but almost tripped over a bag of things under his feet, picked it up and looked, it was actually a bag of silver, good guy, there were as many as twenty taels, and there was a letter attached to it, which said that as long as the villain threw this piece of paper to a candidate named Ningxi during the exam. As long as she is caught by the examiner and sentenced to cheating, even if it is done, she will give the villain twenty taels of silver after the deed. Adult, what the villain said is true, and he will never dare to hide half of it. ”

Examiner A looked at Ning Xi and said, "Miss Ning, it seems that what this person said is true, as for who has the intention to frame you, I'm afraid this official won't be able to help you." He turned his head and said sharply to the strong man, "You disregard the discipline of the examination room and intend to frame others, and you are now sentenced to ten days of detention, a fine of twenty taels of silver, and you are not allowed to participate in the chef assessment again within half a year, do you have any objections?" ”

The strong man hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The adult spared the villain, the villain was just confused for a while, and he would never dare to do it again, the villain has an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child, you don't let the villain take the chef card, the villain can't feed his family, adult!" The officials ignored his cries, and had already taken him down.

Ning Xi walked up to Feng Zhihai, who was still trembling with fear: "Thank you so much for coming forward." ”

Feng Zhihai's face turned red again: "No, you're welcome, this is as it should be." ”

"My name is Ning Xi, and I have opened a Shuangxi Building on Zhengyang Street, if you need help in the future, or if the person just now wants to come to you for trouble, you can come to me." Ningxi Road.

"Okay, thank you!" Feng Zhihai nodded again and again.

Originally, after the written test in the morning, the candidates could go home to rest first, and then come to the exam in the afternoon to cook, but such a thing happened, which delayed a lot of time, so everyone simply didn't even have time to eat lunch, and directly started the second half of the exam.

The assessment in the afternoon was actually simpler, first drawing lots to determine the order of taking the exam, Ning Xi happened to draw behind Feng Zhihai, and seeing that he had been very nervous, he encouraged: "Don't be afraid, as long as you memorize everything that the master usually teaches you, you won't fail the test." ”

Feng Zhihai said a little embarrassedly: "I don't have a master, I learned it all by myself." ”

"Huh?" This time it was Ning Xi's turn to be surprised, "How can there be no master?" ”

Feng Zhihai gloomily told Ningxi that he had been an apprentice in a restaurant since he was a child, but he was more introverted and timid, and he had never been likable. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, his mother, who had been widowed for many years, suddenly became ill, and he needed a lot of money to see a doctor, and he couldn't afford it as an apprentice, so one of his distant cousins opened a small restaurant and told him that as long as he could get the chef's license, let him work in the restaurant.

Ning Xi sighed: "So that's the case, then you were willing to use your results in this exam to vouch for me just now, but it's really hard for you." ”

Feng Zhihai touched the back of his head and smiled: "At that time, I was indignant, and I didn't think about it so much. ”

"Anyway, thank you very much." Ning Xi felt that Feng Zhihai, although he was too shy, was a good person, and if there was something she could help in the future, she should try to repay this favor.
