pastoral little wife

Chapter 441
For a time, the home and the workshop were full of potatoes.

Potato starch is also quick to make.

Yun Duo used starch to cook several times, and they all said it was delicious.When steaming the steamed buns, roll a layer of starch on the outside of the steamed buns, and put it on a slippery piece without sticking.

Zhang Xiucai went to rush for the exam, and waited with his classmates for the announcement of the results in Hengzhou Prefecture, but did not come back.Seeing that all the potatoes grown by others had been dug up, Mrs. Nie quickly hired villagers to dig up the potatoes and sell them to the workshop.

Fang Erlang's family dug up all the potatoes, but they didn't send them right away.Fang Erlang came over and saw Yunduo in the workshop, so he immediately abandoned Qingyuan, came to the workshop, and greeted Yunduo, "I also dug up all the potatoes I planted, but I think the workshop and Qingyuan are full of potatoes, and they are not enough. It’s free. I won’t send it over, I’ll put it at home first. When you’re almost busy here, and you have free space, just tell me, and I’ll send it over.”

"You can sell this at any time." Yun Duo casually replied to him, then turned and entered the workshop in the east courtyard.

Those who are not employees of the workshop are not allowed to enter.Fang Erlang could only stop.

Luo Qiu and Wan Guang are both literate and able to settle accounts. Although the matter of collecting potatoes is somewhat cumbersome, it is not difficult. The matter is left to the two of them. Yun Duo came to the workshop and went in to do a lot of work.

Fang Erlang watched the meeting and saw that Yun Duo hadn't come out, so he went back to the hut.

Mrs. Liu took her mother over and asked her mother to look after Nie Jiao. She told Yun Duo that she also went to help in the workshop.

Although the corn has not yet started to be harvested these days, it is also very busy to produce potato starch.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mrs. Liu entered the workshop to work.

Seeing that it was the end of August, but the official messenger who announced the good news did not come, the people in the village were a little puzzled and worried.Could it be that he failed the exam?

Nie Lizheng was also a little anxious, so he came to Nie Dalang again and asked him how he answered the test papers of the three exams.Let Nie Dalang write it down for him, after pondering and pondering, he still thinks it is very good.Could it be that the chief examiner doesn't like Da Lang's answer sheet?

Mrs. Liu took pleasure in others' misfortune, "I really think I'm such a powerful person! He was poor for ten years and failed the exam. After studying for two years and climbing a high branch, he wants to be a master of Juren. It's a dream!"

Mrs. Zhang sighed and didn't say anything.

Mrs. Liu saw that she didn't answer, so she called her, "Sister-in-law! Are you saying that Dalang failed the exam? It's already September, and the official who announced the good news hasn't seen a sign yet! Then rely on Juren is very rare, and not just anyone can pass the exam!"

"If you fail the exam this year, you can take the exam again next year." Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips.

Mrs. Liu sneered, and said sourly, "Yeah! They have a lot of money, and spending a little money for the exam is a drop in the bucket for them, and it's nothing at all! If you fail the exam this year, there will be next year, and if you fail the exam tomorrow, there will be the year after that, Mr. What about the next year?"

Mrs. Zhang frowned, "How can his second aunt curse Da Lang like this! Nie Lizheng has already said that Da Lang is a good reader and knowledgeable!"

"I'll curse him!? Which eye of my sister-in-law saw me cursing him! I wish he could win the first prize and become a high official! At that time, I can also be honored and say that I am the second aunt of the first prize! Let's see if I can no longer Live the bitter life of eating bran and swallowing vegetables and living in an earth-tile house!" Mrs. Liu snorted, turned and went outside to talk.

Yun Duo has been very busy these days, seeing that Nie Dalang stopped reading and made clothes for her in the house after he was busy, he didn't dare to mention it.No matter how clever Nie Dalang is, there are so many "Four Books and Five Classics", one sentence can be disassembled and analyzed, and then written into an article.There are more than a dozen books in the annotations, and the books brought back from Pang's house, he hasn't finished reading them yet...

Fearing that Nie Dalang would fail the ranking, he felt uncomfortable, so he dragged him to work together every day.When I have free time, I go to the kitchen to cook a few dishes.Baked thumb biscuits and made mashed potatoes.

Pang Ren was depressed for a while, and put the matter aside.The chief examiner of the township examination has nothing to do with the magistrate Gao, so it depends on Nie Dalang's knowledge.If you fail the exam, it is a big deal to take the exam again next year.Let his father take Nie Dalang to study hard this year, and he will definitely pass the exam next year!
As soon as the thumb biscuit came out of the pan, Pang Ren smelled it and came over, "What a good thing this is, give me a taste!"

"If you say try it, you can only taste it! You came home at fifteen and gained a few pounds!" Yun Duo took a biscuit and dipped it in mashed potatoes for him.

Seeing the small bamboo basket full, Nie Dalang and Yun Xiao ate mashed potatoes casually, Pang Ren stared a little aggrieved, "Even if I'm trying to lose weight, I can't be so partial!"

"Eat one more and run five laps." Nie Dalang pushed the small bamboo basket.

The corner of Pang Ren's mouth twitched, "Run and run! I'm so scared!"

Several people were eating when Fang Erlang and Nie Mei came over with their son in their arms.

Yun Duo hadn't finished baking the biscuits, so he greeted them to eat the biscuits, and then went to work in the kitchen.

Fang Erlang saw that she was wearing a small apron with ruffled leaves, his eyes fell on the thumb biscuits on the table, and he said with a smile, "Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is extraordinary. Such novel snacks can be made."

Milk is added to the biscuit, and the dough is made of eggs. It has a faint fragrance, and it has a special flavor when it is dipped in mashed potatoes.

Nie Dalang smiled faintly, but did not answer.

Fang Erlang looked at him and asked, "Brother! The person who reported the results of this scientific examination should also come? Did you say when the results will be released?"

"The list should have been announced, but the messenger hasn't come yet." Nie Dalang replied.

Fang Erlang's eyes flickered, and he reckoned that the list should have been released long ago. It's easy to be a scholar, but it's not so easy to pass the exam.If no one comes to announce the good news, it means that you have not passed the exam!
Seeing that Nie Dalang didn't look disappointed, Fang Erlang sneered in his heart.He had only studied for a few days, and with the help of Pang's family, he passed the examination of scholar.Still thinking about passing the exam? !What a fool's dream!No matter how powerful the Pang family is, they are not officials now. If they helped him pass the examination for scholar, would they still help him pass the examination for Juren? !

Nie Mei frowned slightly, "Brother... did you fail the exam?"

Nie Dalang smiled, dipped a biscuit in mashed potatoes and put it in his mouth.The little girl has always pulled him to do some trivial things these two days, and then made him some snacks as a reward.

Fang Erlang pursed his lips, and advised Nie Dalang to think about it with some regret, "This scientific examination is like crossing a single-plank bridge. There are so many people, but very few pass it. It is already very good for the elder brother to be a scholar! I will take the exam next year!" He asked again as if changing the subject, "Actually, I also want to study, but I feel that I am too old to study well, and it is a waste of money and time. I am going to ask my elder brother for advice."
