One strip could last for almost an hour. There were also all kinds of flavors. Mint-flavored for refreshing the mind and sobering the senses, and barbecue-flavored for a delicious shock to the senses with an inviting scent that could drift to the examination rooms next door.
After chewing too much, he did not feel hungry. When he felt thirsty, he had Little Ah Yu’s specially provided spiritual water. Just a small sip was enough to quench his thirst.
This was because previously, when Wang Wulang and the others returned, they’d complained about the conditions of the five days of exam. The things they prepared had all become stiff and cold.
Even if they were provided a cup of hot water every day, they could not keep the food from becoming cold.
It was really uncomfortable to eat the cold food.
Little Ah Yu asked Meatbail in the spatial pocket to look for a type of food that could remain warm no matter what.
They did not find it, but they found a way to mix quicklime with water, add a cloth bag, and other materials.
It could be made into a self-heating bag.
Old Madam Wang got someone to make a food box with this material. There was food on the top and a square at the bottom. The square was filled with quicklime bags. After pouring in a little water, it could continue to release heat.
For the first three days, Wang Chuangui had only eaten hot food.
In the next five days, when he ran out of cooked food, he could also eat some hot steamed buns.
The Wang Family’s steamed buns were already famous. Just smelling them made one feel hungry.
It made the surrounding people extremely hungry.
Therefore, for eight days, Wang Chuangui was in a very good state to take the exam.
The other students relied on their willpower to hold on.
The final outcome was self-evident.
After Old Madam Wang dealt with all kinds of people who came to visit, she asked Wang Chuangui and his wife to stay outside before calling Chang Shun over.
“Go to the plaque shop and order a set of plaques,” Old Madam Wang instructed Chang Shun.
Chang Shun asked, “What should be written on them? Do you want Second Master’s calligraphy?”
Now that Wang Chuangui had become a provincial scholar, he was a proper Master.
He directly addressed Wang Chuangui as Second Master. As for Little Ah Yu and her Big Brothers, they were no longer Young Sirs and Misses. They were directly Young Masters and Young Ladies.
After Wang Chuangui became a provincial scholar, the titles of his ancestors are also taken into account when addressing him.
Old Madam Wang nodded. “Get him to write it himself. Just write the words: Wang Residence.”
“Yes.”
Old Madam Wang called Little Ah Yu over. “Grandma is going out for a while. Stay at home and don’t go out first.”
“It’s so lively outside today. I want to go out and take a look. Grandma, where do you want to go? I’ll go with you.” Little Ah Yu did not want to stay in the house.
Everything was already prepared in this house, but Little Ah Yu still felt that it was not as good as the house in Nanhe Town.
The courtyard in Nanhe Town was decorated by her and her Big Brothers. The flowers and plants planted there were all arranged by them.
She felt closer to it in every way.
Old Madam Wang did not hide it from Little Ah Yu. “I’m going to ask the agent and see if we can buy a few useful servants. Someone has to take care of the house.”
Little Ah Yu asked, “Is it because Second Uncle is now a provincial scholar that our family has to act like a good Master House?”
“You’re right. Our family will get better and better in the future. You have to learn too. You don’t have to do anything yourself.” Old Madam Wang took the opportunity to teach Little Ah Yu.
Little Ah Yu understood and did not ask Old Madam Wang. Now that her Second Uncle had become a provincial scholar, they could have servants in the prefecture capital to help them.
But what about Eldest Uncle and the others?
Grandma should have her own considerations. It was better not to ask further.
In the end, Old Madam Wang did not bring Little Ah Yu out.
Instead, she called Chi Tu and the others out and asked them to guard Ah Yu and bring her out to play.
Chi Tu and Chi She were still thinking that since something had almost happened previously, they could not just hide in the shadows this time..
