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

Li Mumu smiled and nodded.

"I didn't expect it to look like this." She said, taking a sip, "It's so slippery, a little tough, a little chewy, and the texture is so different from the noodles." ”

"It's just that rice is expensive, and the cost of doing this is a bit high." Li Mu said.

"This is definitely available in the store, it is so delicious, the soup is unusually delicious, and the meat slices are scalded in boiling water, which is much more tender than the cooked one. The soup also has mushrooms and fish flakes. Wang Cuizhen took another sip of soup, "Let's clearly mark the price, if you think it's expensive, don't do it." We also have a lot of good and cheap food in the store. ”

"That's what I thought too." Li Mu said.

Then, Li Mumu cut the chestnut steamed chicken, and the glutinous rice inside overflowed glutinously, wrapped in the glutinous rice with the chicken juice inside, which was crystal thick and moist.

"This dish of chestnut steamed chicken gives Bai Yuan a good fortune, which means good luck." Li Mumu said.

Li Mumu scooped a spoonful of glutinous rice for Gu Baiyuan and asked Gu Baiyuan to taste it first.

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

"This glutinous rice has the slight sweetness of red dates, and it is also wrapped in the fragrance of chicken juice, and it is oily." Gu Baiyuan's mouth was full of oil.

The others took a bite of the sticky rice and then the chicken.

The steamed chicken is tender and juicy, and the chicken juice has also soaked into the sticky rice, so it is not wasted at all.

"This squirrel mandarin fish is the posture of a fish leaping over the dragon gate." Li Mumu said, "I wish Bai Yuan to jump to the dragon gate." ”

"Thank you, Aunt San!" Gu Baiyuan was happy, these dishes were not only good, but also delicious, sweet and sour.

Early in the morning of the second day, the whole Gu family got up early before dawn to send Gu Bai to the exam.

Especially Wang Cuizhen, who prepared all the things Gu Baiyuan used in the exam last night, and counted them back and forth several times.

I got up early today.

Before dawn, I lit the candles and counted them again.

I was sure that there was no problem, and seeing that the time was about the same, I called Gu Baiyuan again.

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

Gu's house was not far from the examination room, so he didn't rent a carriage.

Gu Shangqing inquired, and there must be a lot of carriages at the entrance of the examination room at that time, and it was very crowded.

Since the house is not far away, it is better to walk over directly.

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

lest Gu Baiyuan be thirsty in the examination room, and he was thirsty and couldn't drink water when answering the questions. I drank too much water during the break, and I wanted to solve the problem when I was answering the questions.

"This is a meatloaf made for you, to eat at noon." Li Mumu said, "You can leave the examination room in the afternoon, and I will make up for it in the evening when I come back." ”

Wang Cuizhen also made a warm bag for the kettle, and stuffed thick cotton wool in the cotton cloth to make the water cool as slowly as possible.

Otherwise, it would be cold at this time, Gu Baiyuan would eat cold meatloaf, and then drink cold water, and his stomach would freeze.

Everything was ready, and Gu Baiyuan finished eating.

Everyone sent Gu Bai to the door 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 be checked before they can enter.

"Bai Yuan, don't be nervous, as Master Guan said, we don't want to pass the exam this time, just to add some experience." Wang Cuizhen instructed.

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

The Gu family and the others have been watching from afar.

It wasn't until Gu Baiyuan passed the inspection that the family's hearts hung again.

It is useless to wait outside, and you don't know what's going on inside.

The crowd had to go home first.

Li Mumu didn't have the heart to be busy with restaurants and errand shops.

Even if you know that you can't do anything, it's useless to wait at home, and you still don't have the heart to do anything else.

Wang Cuizhen's heart was even more anxious, "Do you think Bai Yuan can do it inside?" I saw that there were younger children, but they were all older than him. ”

"What if the writing desk is too high for him?"

"What if you're hungry but haven't eaten yet? Will it affect his performance? ”

"Sister-in-law." Li Mumu held Wang Cuizhen's hand, "Although Bai Yuan is young, he has his own ideas when he talks and does things on weekdays. And when we were in Yong'an Village before, we were so busy that we couldn't take care of him, and he could do a lot of things by himself. ”

"Bai is far from being a pampered child since childhood, he can do it himself." Li Mumu said.

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

"Yes, so he can do a lot of things, much better than those young masters who have been served by people in the family since childhood." Li Mumu said, "Look at the queue, although those children are older than Baiyuan, you can see that they are dressed delicately and luxuriously, and even when they are queuing, those baskets and boxes are also taken by the next person." ”

"We all took it ourselves, and lined up there." Li Mumu said, "On weekdays, after school, I clean up the table by myself, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are all cleaned up. When I returned to my room, I also read and studied by myself. ”

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

"If you say so, yes." Wang Cuizhen nodded.

"When the government exam, it was April. When the weather is warm, I will boil the water hot, and then wrap it warm with the kettle cover made by your sister-in-law. By noon, the water was not piping hot, but it was still hot. Li Mumu said, "When the time comes, I will first fold the noodles into a square cake at home and fry them in a pot. In this way, the dough can sit for a long time. Stir-fry some more seasoning powder. ”

"At that time, Bai Yuan soaked the noodles in hot water at noon, just like freshly boiled noodles." Li Mumu said with a smile, "In this way, Bai Yuan can also eat fresh and hot noodle soup, which is better than gnawing on dry cakes." ”

"Now that it's cold, it's hot water in the morning, and no matter how you wrap it in thick cotton wool, the water will be cold at noon. So I had to make him a meatloaf, barely so dry, at least a little better. ”

"This ...... Bai Yuan, that kid doesn't know if he can pass the exam this time, so you think about the April government exam. Wang Cuizhen said this, but her face bloomed with a smile.

Li Mumu said: "I was worried that what I said would put Bai Yuan under pressure, so I didn't say it." But in fact, I am very confident in Bai Yuan's county test this time. I'm afraid it's difficult to be the first of the case, after all, Bai Yuan is only five years old, let's go see those candidates, they are all older than Bai Yuan, and they have studied many years more than him. But if I have to pass the exam, I am still very confident. ”
