"Excuse me, I'll go and make it easier." Geng Weishou bowed his hand to Jiang Chunbao.
"Brother Geng, go and come back quickly." Jiang Chunbao even stood up and helped Geng Weishou.
"Brother Jiang, eat first. I'll be back as soon as I go." Geng Weishou walked a little unsteadily, asked the waiter about the location of the hut, and then walked to the backyard.
Jiang Chunbao continued to eat.
Taking advantage of Geng Weishou's absence, Jiang Chunbao picked out all the meat from the dishes, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them, and took a swig of wine.
Eat a lot of meat and drink a lot of wine, it's really a pleasure!
Jiang Chunbao felt very happy and felt that he was really lucky.
I had a good dinner. I will stay with Geng Weishou later. I can save a lot of money during this period. Then I will spend a hundred or two hundred coins to find some old things. I will call them my family heirlooms and give them to Geng Weishou. , it can be regarded as a thank you or two, and the matter is settled.
The night is getting darker.
The guests in Zuixian Tower dispersed after having their fill of wine and food.
Jiang Chunbao was still eating and drinking leisurely at first, but gradually he couldn't sit still.
Geng Weishou had been gone for half an hour, which was a little too long.
Worried that something had happened to Geng Weishou, Jiang Chunbao asked the waiter about the location of the latrine and planned to find it, but when he got there, it was completely empty.
"Where was that person who was eating with me just now?" Jiang Chunbao was a little panicked and hurriedly grabbed the waiter and asked.
"Who is it?" The waiter was asked somewhat confused.
"I had dinner with me before..." Jiang Chunbao said a little incoherently, "That's the one. He's not tall, a little fat, and a little dark. He moved the food to my table to eat before. He just said he was going to the latrine, why isn't he here? Already?"
"You are talking about that person." The waiter suddenly realized, "He just left through the back door. He said he had something to do temporarily. When he left, he also packed away two fairy chickens and a bottle of wine."
"Sir, are you leaving now? Let's settle the bill? I just made a rough calculation. If the food and drinks on your table are all added up, it's three to six coins."
What?
Jiang Chunbao was stunned for a moment, and then he collapsed to the ground helplessly.

The days flew by and it was time for the government examination in a blink of an eye.
Unlike the county exam, which has four exams, each taking one day, with a few days in between, the government exam has three exams, namely classics, essays, and policy theory. The first two take one day each, and the third exam takes two days. The total That’s four days.
During these four days, you are not allowed to leave the examination room. Daily rest, eating, etc. are all handled in the "pigeon cage". If you need to go to the toilet, there will be a special person to guide you.
It can be said that the government examination not only tests knowledge, but also tests physical strength.
At a quarter past two o'clock, the examination room will open, and a simple search will be conducted at the entrance. Children will then lead them to each examination room, and a more detailed body search will be conducted at the entrance of the examination room.
After two consecutive inspections, Song Jingyun arrived at his own exam room, Tianzi No. 46.
Everything is available in the building, surrounded by walls on three sides. There are two strong wooden boards on the wall, one is a table and the other is a stool. Both of these two wooden boards can be moved. At night, the two wooden boards are spread on the Together, there is a bed where you can sleep at night.
At this time, there was a quilt on the stool, and pen, ink, paper and inkstone - things used to answer the questions - were placed on the table.
Song Jingyun entered the dormitory, took a seat, and checked his things.
Seeing that everything can be used normally, I sat down with peace of mind.
When the test papers were handed out, Song Jingyun felt light-headed. He dipped his pen in ink and wrote his answers carefully on the answer sheet.
The atmosphere in the entire examination room can be said to be solemn and serious, but also very quiet.
Quietly, you can hear the breathing of others, the rustling of paper when answering questions, and the grunting of some people swallowing saliva because of nervousness.
Song Jingyun had no other thoughts and only answered seriously.
After sending Song Jingyun into the examination room, Jiang Michia walked around the street, had breakfast, and went back to the inn to rest.
If Song Jingyun wants to pass the four-day exam, she will have to stay in the inn for four full days.
Be alone.
Since arriving here, it can be said that she has been accompanied by her son-in-law every day, eating and sleeping together. Now she was suddenly alone, which was really unaccustomed to her.
Jiang Michia lay on the bed and tossed and turned for a long time before finally catching up on her sleep.
After sleeping until noon, Jiang Michia went out to look for food with an empty stomach.
The food in the inn actually tasted pretty good, but even if I ate it every day, I couldn't really taste it well. Jiang Michia also found it very boring, so she went out to look for it.
Most of the food in restaurants on the street tasted the same, so she walked around the alleys to see if there were any rare local delicacies.
There are many small storefronts and stalls in the alley. It was noon, and there were many people coming and going.
The noise was mixed with a strong fragrance.
Jiang Michia walked around and looked everywhere, and finally found a stall selling red oil handwriting.
In Jiang Michia’s mind, the red-oiled rice noodles are a delicacy from Sichuan and Chongqing. This place is located in the north, so you can actually see such food.
Jiang Michia was curious and wanted to have a taste.
The person selling red oil handicrafts was a woman who was a few years older than her. She was accompanied by a child of four or five years old. She was a baby girl. She was a little thin and her hair was a little yellow, but her eyes were very big. Yes, juicy and charming.
Seeing Jiang Michia standing still at the stall, the girl hurriedly brought the chopsticks and bucket over.
He looked at Jiang Michia eagerly, obviously looking forward to her taking a seat.
"Here's a bowl of red oil." Jiang Michia sat down with a smile.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief and took some firewood from the pile and added it to the stove.
The woman skillfully surrounded the pot, cooked it, put it into a bowl, poured red oil and other seasonings on it, and brought it to Jiang Michia, "Take it slowly."
Oily, red, and exuding a delicate fragrance, Jiang Michia found an entrance.
The fragrant taste spreads in the mouth.
"It's delicious." Jiang Michia sighed.
"The guest will come more often in the future." The woman smiled a little cautiously.
"Yeah." Jiang Michia nodded.
Such delicious red oil chaoshou, you have to come back several times to try it.
Moreover, the little son-in-law is the most greedy. After he finishes the exam, I must bring him to have a taste.
Jiang Michia thought this way and continued to scoop up the red oil in the bowl, eating it deliciously.
The stall is not big, and there are only six or seven people sitting there. It is dinner time, and it is basically full.
A strong man walked over quickly.
Jiang Michia Yueguang glanced at the man occupying the position next to her, and subconsciously moved slightly to the side to make more space.
But the big man didn't sit down and ask for the red oil to eat with his hands. Instead, he extended his hand to the woman.
