Volume Two, Chapter 106: On the List
Soon, sugar candies became a specialty product of the really delicious pastry shop.
Although the price is more expensive than ordinary candies, when there are happy events, New Years and holidays, or when wealthy families entertain guests, they will buy some candies with words such as "Fu Lu Shou, Xi Weal Xiang Xiang".
It is difficult for anyone who enters a really delicious shop to be able to bear the alluring aroma of pastries, and almost no one leaves empty-handed.
Of course, the biggest source of income comes from all kinds of celebration cakes. When wealthy families celebrate their birthdays, hold full-moon banquets, or even hold poetry gatherings, etc., they will come to Zhenhao Delicious Pastry Shop to make custom-made cakes.
Exclusive features and high-end deliciousness make really delicious pastries a decent expression.
No matter who comes to the county town to deliver cakes every day, the most important thing is to go to the county government office gate to see if there is a list.
Dongming Ziyu is very calm. He goes to the school every day to teach the children and teach them martial arts. He takes the boys to the mountains to hunt and trains them in tactics through actual combat.
If you have time, you still have to go into space and plant spiritual fields in space. Although the disaster has eased now and the war has just ended, it will last for more than five years and food is still very scarce.
In particular, the pastry shop needs a lot of sugar, and a lot of wheat and sugar cane are grown. Save it first and then take it out when you find an opportunity.
Now that Dongming Ziyu is taking care of the children, Shangguan Ruoli is much more relaxed. She basically doesn't care about making pastries, she only treats people and teaches her apprentices.
Everyone is looking forward to the release of the results, friendly people hope that Dongming Ziyu can pass the exam, while those who are hostile like Jiang Haoguang are just waiting to see Dongming Ziyu's jokes.
In a blink of an eye, it’s time to release the results.
Dalang drove Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao to the pastry shop in a mule cart, and then went to the Yamen to wait for the results to be released.
Inspector Wu is already standing at the front. The host family is his in-laws. Whether Dongming Ziyu can pass the exam is very important to his daughter.
As soon as the list came out, he pretended to help his subordinates and came forward to help post the list, so he saw the list first.
He turned around and said to Dalang: "Your fourth uncle won first place! The head of the case!"
"What?" Dalang was still a little in disbelief.
His fourth uncle hadn't studied for several years. In the past few months, he had been reading at home without asking anyone for advice, and he was actually the head of the case?
Is it that simple to take the exam?
He squeezed to the front and looked carefully at the list on the wall. His fourth uncle's name was at the first place.
A big smile slowly bloomed on Dalang's nervous face, and he shouted: "Haha, my fourth uncle is really the leader of the case!"
People around me who were looking at the list were all looking at it with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Some of the winners cried with joy, while others cheered and laughed.
Some of those who failed were dumbfounded, some were sad and disappointed, and some burst into tears.
Dalang rushed out from the crowd of people showing various emotions, found the mule cart, whipped wildly, and ran all the way back to the village.
When he saw the Dongzhou family working in the fields from a distance, he shouted: "I won, I won, my fourth uncle won! The first one, the first in the case!"
Someone straightened up, and after hearing what he said clearly, he turned around and ran towards Dong Zhou's house, "Dong Laosi has won! First place, first place!"
Erlang, Sanlang, Silang, and Wulang were pulling the branches home. After hearing this, they dropped the branches and ran home.
"Uncle Four passed the test! Passed the exam!"
"My dad was hit! The head of the case!"
Higashi Arita was stirring the maltose in the pot with a stick. When he heard the noise, he immediately raised his ears and listened carefully, as if he was being tapped. "Listen, who is calling again?"
"It seems that the fourth brother has been hit!" Dong Youliang put down the maltose he was stretching and ran out.
After hearing this, Mrs. Qian trembled with trembling lips and choked with sobs: "Okay! Okay!"
Old Man Dong smiled and said: "I hit it, I really hit it!"
He turned back to Erlang and said, "Quickly, take out the firecrackers I hid and set them off."
"Dad!" Dongming Ziyu walked out of the room and said softly: "This is the first step. We are not even a child. It is not the time to celebrate yet."
Old Man Dong choked up and said, "Yes, yes, yes, calm down, calm down!"
Although most of the students who took the first test passed the test, the result was not produced in one day, so the celebration of setting off firecrackers was a bit too frivolous.
Mrs. Qian also calmed down and said, "Keep the firecrackers! Just keep them for a few days."
He turned around and took Dongming Ziyu's hand, and said with tears in his eyes: "Si'er, my good son, you are so capable!"
Dongming Ziyu lowered his head and patted the little old lady's back gently, "Mom, my son will definitely make you and your father live a better life."
"Yeah!" Mrs. Qian still cried.
Dong Chunlei, Shuan Zhu and other villagers who heard the news all arrived and congratulated each other.
Mrs. He clapped her hands, stamped her feet, and laughed loudly, "Hey, I've seen it a long time ago. My fourth nephew is definitely a lucky one. He is the material to be a high official. He will definitely win.
I was really right! Hahaha..."
Old Mrs. Qian's emotions were suppressed by her. She rolled her eyes and spat: "Stop talking nonsense! Why do you want to be a high official? Now is the first step. Don't give me any tricks."
disaster!"
Mrs. He hurriedly slapped her mouth lightly and said: "Look at my mouth! How can I tell the truth! Master Tong Sheng has the first place in his hand."
Dong Chunlei said with a smile: "You have said all the good things. Although it is true, you still have to calm down before the results come out!"
Wu Lang said with a sweet voice: "This is called low-key."
"Haha..." Everyone burst out laughing, happier than during the Chinese New Year.
Tong Sheng is confirmed. Although Tong Sheng is not famous, it is a good start and allows everyone to see hope.
Dongming Ziyu has gained some popularity in Liulin County after being listed on this list. Especially the county magistrate and many officials know his details. With His Royal Highness behind him, even if he can pass the examination to be a scholar, he will be reused.
And since he is at the top of the list, it should be no problem to take the scholar examination, so Dongming Ziyu's future is probably further than that of the county magistrate.
This time, a total of eight students from the Jiang clan school were on the list, but the rankings were not optimistic. It was hard to say whether they would pass the examination.
They had been tutored by famous teachers in ethnic studies and had studied hard for several years. Unexpectedly, they had never passed the examination of a beggar who had escaped from famine. Apart from being dejected, they were both curious and jealous of Dongming Ziyu.
Dongming Ziyu ignored what others thought and started preparing for the government examination in April. After the county examination, he had already figured out the style of the scientific examination questions here, found his own shortcomings, and took the time to check and fill in the gaps.
.
Shangguan Ruoli took good care of him and served him well. He ate smoothly and always kept some in the space.
That day, Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Li went to the city to sell goods in a shop, and by the way, they bought things for Da Lang to get married. When they came back, they looked very ugly.
Shangguan Ruoli was checking on the malt situation in the yard. When he saw old lady Qian snoring angrily, he couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what's going on? Who made you angry?"
Mrs. Qian sat down on the stone bench in the yard and said angrily: "It really makes me angry!"
Shangguan Ruoli saw that she was angry, so he hurriedly walked over and poured her a cup of tea, "Please drink a cup of tea to calm down your anger, but don't make yourself angry."
Then, he poured another cup for Mrs. Li and said, "Sister-in-law, have some tea and have a rest."
Mrs. Li picked up the tea cup and said: "Some people are jealous of the good sales of our snack shop and want to buy cakes and candy recipes."
Shangguan Ruoli raised his eyebrows, "If we don't sell it, is it possible that someone else would dare to cause trouble?"
If someone wants to buy it, they just won't sell it. There's nothing to be angry about. If you're angry, then someone must be making trouble.
