The next day, Lin Zhaotang still ate the golden chicken, which Xie Zhiyan made.

"I said Brother Zhiyan, they all say that a gentleman is a chef, but I think that after you made the golden chicken, you will have more gentlemanly demeanor. ”

Lin Zhaotang gnawed his mouth full of oil, and then took a sip of wine, it was simple.

It's the same temperament as the brothers in the modern street food stalls, and I don't see it.

"Eat yours, how does it taste?" Xie Zhiyan is no stranger to cooking, but in this space, there is no opportunity to show it.

If he cooks at home, Xie Zhang's eyes will probably be staring out, the sky is about to fall, and he can't afford to arouse unnecessary doubts and attention.

Now that he is sorry for his physical inconvenience, he and Lin Zhaotang naturally pondered the method of this dish, and they did it as they said, and the taste was extremely delicious.

As soon as his words fell, he saw Lin Zhaotang give a thumbs up, looking like he was throwing himself to the ground.

"If you want me to say, what gentleman cooks far away, it's all an excuse made by some stinky men for their laziness and stupidity, and today we ponder it like this, won't the delicacy appear?"

That's right, Lin Zhaotang also thinks that the two of them made it together, and he doesn't feel inappropriate at all.

"Hey, you bullied your brother and sister last night?"

After satisfying his hunger, Lin Zhaotang began to be curious, and his eyes flashed with gossip.

"No, you also know that she had a rough life, and she was a little uncomfortable and suddenly became sad. Xie Zhiyan responded calmly, and also raised his head to drink.

The degree of ancient wine is very low, so there is a saying that the big bowl is not drunk when you drink it, and you have to replace it with the old white dry of later generations, so that the drinking method guarantees that you will be drunk to death in the past. So Xie Zhiyan can also drink some on weekdays, which is basically the degree of beer.

Gu Xixi has lived the easiest life since she was born.

She doesn't need to do work every day, her clothes are washed by Xie Zhiyan, she eats and drinks all day long, no one gossips, and she is unified behind closed doors.

There is also Aunt Zhao from time to time to ask her to teach some knowledge about women, so that the vacant part of her soul grows rapidly.

If he cooks, it stimulates Lin Zhaotang's foodie soul, a foodie who can't cook is not a qualified foodie, but he has limited practical experience, and he can only count on Xie Zhiyan, and the two cooperate quite well.

The most worried is Uncle Wang, who originally sighed that with the friend of Gongzi Xie, his son-in-law was willing to take the right path to take the exam, but he didn't expect to go all the way and become a chef.

He worries and worries, the little boy is rarely so happy, the cook is the cook, just play in the small yard, and he doesn't say that no one knows when he goes out.

As the exam approaches, the talents from all over the world who come to take the exam have begun to gather, and all kinds of materials before the exam are sold very hot, and there are even side ways on how to make cheat sheets and collect examiners' information preferences.

The triennial township test, that is, the autumn festival, should be set in the eighth month of the lunar calendar to get this name.

The examination venue was held in the Gongyuan, only fifteen minutes away from the small courtyard where Xie Zhiyan and they rented, and the examiner was directly sent by the emperor.

Recently, the weather has changed abruptly, and it has rained twice in a row, and the warm autumn immediately turns its face, and the fallen leaves are falling, especially at night, and the single clothes have been unable to keep out the cold.

This is the most worrying situation, the township examination has to be tested three times, each for three consecutive days, that is to say, the test has to be taken for nine days, and during these nine days, food and accommodation are in a small lattice room in the Gongyuan.

In order to prevent entrainment and plagiarism, there are also strict requirements for candidates' clothing and utensils.

They are only allowed to wear single clothes, bring their own pen, ink, paper, inkstone and a few days of food, and only after a strict search can they enter the three-foot square "number house".

To what extent is it strict, there is a martial arts hall outside the Gongyuan with a military patrol, and there are also "trumpet army" invigilators in the Gongyuan, as well as examiners and assistants who wander around from time to time, so it can be said that flies can't fly in.

The frail students can persist until the end of the exam is a victory, and it is already great to come out with all the beards and tails, and they also plagiarize and use their brains, which is simply an old birthday star who hangs himself for a long time.

As an excellent servant, Uncle Wang even knew the imperial examinations, and prepared an examination basket in duplicate containing all the necessary utensils in advance.

At this time, Xie Zhiyan had to reassess Lin Zhaotang.

Originally, he thought that Lin Zhaotang's family background was good, mainly reflected in the fact that he was rich, had a certain level of literacy, and there were officials among his relatives, and maybe there were officials in his own family, which was defined as an ordinary official family.

But Wang Bolu's hand made him refresh his opinion, Lin Zhaotang's identity was only higher than he thought.

As for how high, it is impossible to determine.

It is said that the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, in the pre-exam preparation news that ordinary students need to rely on to spend money to inquire about the pre-exam preparation, Uncle Wang is simply familiar with the preparation.

What does this mean, there should be someone in Lin Zhaotang's family who has taken the test, and there is more than one, otherwise it will not be so common that even an old servant knows how to do it.

In addition, his family is rich, so he is a rich and powerful middle-class and upper-class nobleman.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhiyan was a little discouraged, they are all people, some people were born in Rome, and some people need to climb up from the small mountain village step by step, if he is the original owner, he will definitely be jealous.

Those polite words are exempt, in the face of absolute strength, you can put away your senseless self-esteem, treat each other sincerely, and he will not sit idly by if he needs help in the future.

Gu Xixi's body also improved, and she began to try to make some portable and delicious staple foods, so that the two of them could fill their stomachs during the exam.

Under Xie Zhiyan's careful care, the first menstrual affair passed smoothly, laying a good foundation for the future.

During this period, Gu Xixi wanted to move out by himself, but he was afraid that his bad luck would be stained with Xie Zhiyan, but he was resolved by him in a few words.

This is what moved her the most, and since then it has also established her vision for judging men, that is, if a man is hypocritical and righteous, her third brother doesn't have to say it, isn't Brother Zhaotang like this, and he also cooks.

The third brother said well, only those men who are afraid that they are not as good as women will suppress women everywhere, belittle and suppress women, for fear that women are stronger than them, but are they not born of women?

Is it from the "dirty" place of women, but disgusted with women's dirty and filthy?

What is the truth of this, that is, in a patriarchal society, men start from their own well-being and interests, so that there are these speechless fallacies.

The day before the exam, the weather was clear, but the temperature was still not high.

Xie Zhiyan and Lin Zhaotang are ready.

Isn't it just a matter of wearing single clothes, wearing seven or eight layers, and you can always keep out the cold.

The meat patties that are cherished by the cherish, as well as the jerky and the very solid white flour cakes. I bought some sweets and snacks purely to supplement the sugar.
