Now that Li Qiao has come to his territory, he lets Li Qiao order whatever he wants, and he wants to celebrate Li Qiao.
Bai Jiaoyu knew that shopkeeper Wang and Li Qiao had a close relationship, so he did not insist on paying the bill.
This is all small money, Li Qiao definitely doesn't care.
What Li Qiao cares about is the provincial examination.
Therefore, after entering the private room on the second floor, Bai Jiaoyu began to popularize science before the waiter served the food.
Although the Tongsheng Examination is important, it is actually just a qualification exam with very simple questions.
When the Supreme Emperor was in power, there was not much difference in the contents of the rural examination and the Tongsheng examination. Anyway, they were all centered around the Four Books, Five Classics, Three Histories and Three Biography.
But after the Holy Emperor came to the throne, the questions in the provincial examinations were often asked from hell. Bai Jiaoyu was also confused by these questions at first, but he summarized the questions in recent years, and then used his contacts to inquire about the successful candidates in recent years. article, and then he came up with some ideas.
This experience is related to the current provincial examination and the Tongsheng examination. The biggest difference between the two is that the Tongsheng examination is general, while the rural examination is detailed.
Take Zhuang Wen's college examination essay as an example. Zhuang Wen only needs to briefly write about the relevant measures before, during and after the debris flow occurs. But if he gets such a question in the provincial examination, he cannot make a general summary, he must go in depth. To write, you have to write carefully.
Every time you write a measure, you must write clearly why you want to do it, let the examiner know that the candidate is confident, and let the examiner understand that the candidate understands mudslides extremely well and has the ability to solve them.
Moreover, when writing articles, you must flexibly combine the Four Books, Five Classics, Three Histories and Three Biography.
Therefore, the policy essay for the college examination can be written in one day.
However, the policy essay for the provincial examination takes three days to write.
Li Qiao was a little surprised after hearing what Bai Jiaoyu said. Bai Jiaoyu had some abilities. As expected of him, he touched the most core things at once.
This is indeed the case. Xing Xuezheng also said that today's rural examination articles are more practical. The examiner must know through the article that the candidate has real talents and practical knowledge, rather than a nerd who can only drop his book bag.
Because the questions set by the Holy Spirit always lead to hell, the difficulty of the exam has been greatly increased. In the past, candidates only needed to study the Four Books, Five Classics, Three History and Three Biography, but now candidates know everything about the world.
Although it is not necessary to know astronomy from above and geography from below, candidates must know the content related to people's livelihood.
Candidates must know how to manage various disasters, know how to farm, and know the law to hear various cases...
These aspects are not understood clearly, but understood and understood.
Li Qiao wanted to sigh. The loopholes in the imperial examination were not easy to exploit. There were so many things going on in the world. Who knew what kind of questions the emperor would ask.
The Holy One forces the candidates to master all kinds of knowledge, hoping that these candidates can directly serve as officials in the future.
Jinshi selected in this way do not require additional training and can take up their posts anytime and anywhere.
This kind of operation, the Holy Spirit is really a bit awesome.
After sighing in his heart, Li Qiao plunged into the ocean of knowledge again. Xing Xuezheng's advice to him was to expand his knowledge as much as possible. Now that Bai Jiaoyu also mentioned the key points of writing articles for the provincial examination, he must know more about all aspects. knowledge.
After five days of studying in the courtyard of the county town, his academy career began.
Chapter 93 Li Qiao only accounts for half, Han Xiaoyan logs off and sets off to the capital
Li Qiao cherished this period of college life very much. He got up before dawn every day. After getting up, he washed up first. After washing away his sleepiness, he went to the study to endorse.
Tao Zhu took Li Xia and Li Ershan to make breakfast.
When I was in the village, fresh vegetables were delivered to my doorstep by the villagers, but in the county town, I had to go to the vegetable market to buy them.
As for firewood and chicken and duck eggs, Li Dashan delivers them every three days.
The vegetables at the city gate are the freshest, and Tao Zhu usually goes to the city gate to buy vegetables.
Anyway, Pingcheng is small, so he can walk faster. It only takes two-quarters of an hour to come and go.
There was an aunt selling sesame cakes at the gate of the city, whom he met when he and Li Qiao first went to the county town to sell Feng Gao. The auntie was very enthusiastic every time she saw him and wanted to stuff sesame cakes into his hand.
Of course we can't charge for the free sesame cakes.
However, the freshly made Teppanyaki pancakes are indeed delicious, and he always buys a few to make his breakfast richer.
Moreover, he gave the aunt a suggestion to make some sweet sesame seed cakes.
The sweet sesame cakes are also delicious.
Auntie Seobing took his words into consideration, and the next day the stall had new varieties.
If it were in the past, Auntie Shaobing would definitely hesitate, because the stalls at the city gate are all farmers from the countryside, and most of the people who pass by her stall when entering the city every day are also farmers, and the price of sugar is high, so these people will definitely be reluctant to buy sugar. Shaobing.
But now that the farmers in Pingcheng are rich and have money in their hands, they are naturally willing to spend money. There will definitely be people who buy the sugar sesame biscuits, which are a little more expensive than the salty sesame biscuits.
What's more, this sugar sesame cake was recommended by Tao Zhu. As long as she uses Tao Zhu's name, many people will definitely be willing to buy it.
Auntie Shaobing was very emotional. When Li Qiao and Tao Zhu came to the city gate for the first time to sell Feng Gao, she felt that Tao Zhu was a bit awkward standing next to Li Qiao, and she didn't think Li Qiao could achieve much.
Of course, she had already realized that Li Qiao was really capable, otherwise he wouldn't be able to catch so many fish every day and have Shopkeeper Wang wrap up his snacks.
However, at the end of the day, Li Qiao was just like her, setting up a stall and running a small business.
But who would have thought that in just three years, Li Qiao would fly.
And the relationship between Li Qiao and Tao Zhu still remains.
Time has proven that she was blind in the first place. Tao Zhu is not out of place at all when he stands next to Li Qiao. The two of them are the perfect match.
Today, the entrance to the county town is more lively than before. There were already many people setting up stalls here. Later, Jiangzhi County built two wells here to facilitate everyone's water use. Now the place is even more lively, and there are more people setting up stalls selling food than before. Quite a few.
On this day, Tao Zhu came to the county gate to buy the freshest vegetables as usual. As soon as he left the city gate, an aunt selling cucumbers next to the city gate stopped him: "Brother Zhu, Han Xiaoyan is setting up a stall in the far south. Selling vermicelli stew!”
"?"
Tao Zhu frowned.
Han Xiaoyan is setting up a stall selling stew?
Isn't Han Xiaoyan's main job looking for her and Li Dazhong's two children?
Why are you setting up a stall here now?
"I'll go take a look. Thank you, aunt, for telling me." Tao Zhu carried the basket on his back and headed south.
As he walked over, many people greeted him and told him about Han Xiaoyan's stall.
Everyone in Pingcheng knows the name Han Xiaoyan, but few can really match it.
But one person recognized Han Xiaoyan, so all the farmers setting up stalls here knew about it.
If Han Xiaoyan sells other products, no one will pay attention to her.
But now she sells vermicelli stew.
Where did she get the vermicelli?
Regardless of whether it is the sweet potato workshop in the county seat or the sweet potato workshop in Sanliu Village and Zhujia Village, Jiangzhi County has clearly issued a death order not to make vermicelli in private.
This is to prevent individuals from making profits from vermicelli.
It is also to protect the interests of Li Qiao and workers.
Therefore, even workers in sweet potato workshops have to pay for vermicelli if they want to eat it. But vermicelli is so expensive. Even the vermicelli from Sanliu Village and Zhujia Village only costs 40 cents per pound.
Who is an ordinary person willing to buy such expensive things?
Even if you are willing to buy it, you still have to go to Wangyue Tower or Jiangzhi County to grab the number plate.
But because foreign businessmen pay high prices to buy number plates, ordinary people in Pingcheng will basically sell them if they grab the number plates.
There are really few ways for ordinary people to get vermicelli.
Of course, the three sweet potato workshops will provide benefits to workers during the Chinese New Year. On New Year's Eve, workers can buy vermicelli at cost price, but the purchase of vermicelli is limited to only ten kilograms per person.
So, where did the vermicelli that Han Xiaoyan set up his stall come from?
Han Xiaoyan once worked in a sweet potato workshop in Sanliu Village. She knew how to make vermicelli. Most of the vermicelli she used was made by herself.
If she did it herself, it would be against Jiang Zhixian's order, and she must tell Tao Zhu.
Tao Zhu thanked everyone along the way and soon found Han Xiaoyan.
Han Xiaoyan was standing in front of an earthen stove that was as tall as one person. There was a large iron pot on the earthen stove. The big iron pot was covered with a lid, so you couldn't see what was inside.
There were several tables beside her, three of them obviously for customers, and one with a chopping board on it.
There are several backpacks on the ground, and seasonal vegetables and vermicelli are placed in the baskets.
There was not a single diner in the stall. Han Xiaoyan stood in front of the stove with a dark face, staring at the pot lid, wondering what he was thinking.
Tao Zhu frowned even more tightly and walked over.
"Han Xiaoyan."
When Han Xiaoyan heard a familiar voice, she turned her head and saw that it was indeed Tao Zhu, a look of fear flashed across her face.
But she quickly straightened her back, put her hands on her hips, and asked in a stern tone, "What are you doing?"
"Where did your vermicelli come from?"
Tao Zhu pointed to the dried vermicelli in the basket on his back.
"I did it myself, what happened? Do you still want to take me to jail? Then arrest me! You'd better let Jiang Zhixian kill me, otherwise, I will still go to Li Dazhong to make trouble. I asked Li Dazhong to I won’t be able to live in peace for the rest of my life!”
Han Xiaoyan scratched his neck and shouted loudly.
However, when she said the last word Ansheng, her voice turned into a cry, and her face was filled with fear.
Tao Zhu: "..."
When Han Xiaoyan saw that Tao Zhu was silent and just staring at her, she collapsed even more: "Go and ask Jiang Zhi County to kill me! Now everyone in the county listens to Li Qiao, let him kill me! That old man Li Gu I was not allowed to get close to the child, and my mother-in-law also disliked me, so I had no choice but to set up a stall, but as soon as these people heard that I was Han Xiaoyan, they all turned around and left!"
"If you don't give me a way to live, then just move your fingers and kill me!"
Thinking of the recent sadness, she shed tears as she spoke. By the end of the sentence, her whole voice had changed from crying.
Ever since Li Dazhong, a bitch, and Bai You, a bitch, came back from Fucheng, she could no longer get close to her children.
Li Gu and Zhao Erniu didn't even care about their own fields and only guarded their two children. If she dared to approach the children, they chased her with brooms and beat her.
She had no choice but to go to Li Dazhong.
As a result, Li Dazhong didn't see her at all, and Li Gu and Zhao Erniu also drove her away.
She couldn't see the child and couldn't brainwash the child. Her parents disliked her for not doing anything serious, so she took out the vermicelli she secretly made during the Chinese New Year and ran to the city gate to set up a stall.
