Qin Bai calmed down and took a sip of tea to calm down his shock.
The provincial examination is held every three days, and there is a certain amount of time during which he can leave the examination room to rest, but it doesn't matter to Qin Bai. If he uses practice to pass the time, a few days will pass in the blink of an eye.
He had finished the food he brought. Although steamed buns were distributed in the examination room, they did not taste good.
So when he had nothing to do, he just started playing with the rice cooker. The main purpose was to have a hot meal.
One end of the rice cooker was wrapped with wires, and the other end was connected to a palm-sized rectangular iron box.
This is actually a miniature hand-operated generator, with a rocker on one side of the iron box. It was a spare part that Qin Bai exchanged for a cheap large water pump.
Although the amount of power generated is impressive, it is enough for cooking, and its structure is simpler than those of high-tech generators.
He reluctantly straightened his afro and continued to play.
Even a layman like Qin Bai, an electrician, found the threshold after groping. After several attempts, he finally succeeded in connecting the hand-cranked generator to the rice cooker.
He washed the uncooked rice in the inner pot and put it into the rice cooker. Then he took out a piece of lean meat from the fish bag, cut some and put it into the rice. Finally, he added some seasonings, and then quickly shook it to generate electricity. machine.
After about twenty minutes, the rice cooker's display changed from cooking to keeping warm. After a few more minutes of simmering, Qin Bai opened it expectantly.
Immediately, the entire examination room smelled a faint fragrance, and the students thought it was coming from outside. Only Geng Yu knew that there was another demon playing next door.
However, the aroma is better than the stench from the toilet, but it will inevitably increase your appetite.
The government officials patrolling the examination room were even more confused. They could never guess that someone would be cooking here.
Qin Bai was not affected at all. After mixing the stuffed rice in the rice cooker, he took out a bowl and ate it.
After he found that it tasted good, he simply took out the inner pot and used it as a bowl with a rice spoon.
I can't do anything, but I am very active in eating. I am a real food worker.
After eating and drinking enough, Qin Bai began to practice until the meridians became sore due to the circulation of the sky, and then continued to practice pile techniques or draw talismans.
Under such circumstances, time passed very quickly, and before I knew it, it was already three days later.
Most of the people in the examination room have already turned in their test papers, and now is the time to cultivate their spirits.
Most of the students chose to stay in the examination room. Their bodies were a little thin. After all, there was not much food to eat. Some of them were even located close to the huts.
Under the influence of the incense smell, I had no intention of taking the exam, let alone eating.
Only Qin Bai had a good life, and he had changed his cooking methods in the past three days.
For students in the examination room, as long as there are three meals a day, the aroma will definitely permeate the air. They can just eat the steamed buns according to the taste, which is not bad.
After finally getting through these days, the second exam finally started. As the test papers were handed out, the students focused on the questions.
Time seems to fly extremely fast when you are busy. Geng Yu's writing is full of wind. I don't know if it is related to a competitor. He feels that he has performed better than before.
He rubbed his eyes, and just when he was about to take a rest, there was sudden movement from the next door. Qin Bai actually handed in the paper in advance again.
The slightest bit of relaxation in Geng Yu's heart immediately disappeared, and he lowered his head and continued writing.
Qin Bai's situation was actually not easy either. Lu Panbi's evil behavior was unexpected, and he was directly pulled into an illusion for the second time.
He found that he was surrounded by endless darkness, where time seemed to have stopped passing, and he would usually drive himself crazy.
Fortunately, in Qin Bai's more than ten years of blacksmithing career, his mental quality has been tempered like a stubborn stone.
I don’t know how long it took, but all the test papers on the table were completed.
Qin Bai opened his eyes. He pinched his temples with a headache. He wouldn't be afraid if Lu Penbi came up with something from the underworld, but why did he start to play tricks on people's mentality?
I don’t know what will happen the third time, but even if I think about it, I can’t escape the trick that will definitely scare people.
Qin Bai no longer thinks about this. Only food can calm his mood. This time he plans to try something different.
High-end ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods. After a busy day, Master Qin began to make pickled fish.
He took out a fresh river fish from the fish bag, took out the scales and internal organs, and cut it into thick slices.
Next is marinating for flavor.
Marinate with wine, ginger, and green onions and set aside. Waiting enough will allow the flavors of the ingredients to develop better.
At this time, Master Qin began to prepare sauerkraut.
Sauerkraut is generally made from fine cabbage, which is washed and sun-dried and placed in a vat for a month.
Heat oil in a pan.
Master Qin used one hand to generate electricity for the rice cooker. With his free hand, he poured some oil into the inner pot and stir-fried the sauerkraut and fish bones.
The smell of pickled fish began to spread, much stronger than before, and even alarmed Wei Lianzhang who happened to be passing by.
When Wei Lianzhang took Zhou Qi to inspect the examination room and came to Qin Bai's small room, the other party had just finished making the pickled fish.
He held the bowl in his hand and ate the rice. Qin Bai also spotted Wei Lianzhang. There were many rules in the examination room. Although he was not allowed to light a fire, it did not mean that he could not use the rice cooker. His behavior was also very reasonable.
But in Wei Lianzhang's eyes, it was a different scene. This so-called strange stone demon Fengbo could be used for cooking, so what the hell was the magic weapon in his hand.
And this is too wasteful. Using magic to make some food, aren't you afraid that the slab of Grandmaster's coffin will not be able to hold it down?
Nothing is more outrageous than a charlatan eating pickled fish in an examination room.
Qin Bai wanted to invite the other party to eat together, but Wei Lianzhang waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the examination room, out of sight and out of mind.
He asked the yamen in the examination room to open the windows as much as possible for ventilation, and when distributing steamed buns to the students in the examination room, he gave more pickles.
Qin Bai single-handedly changed the treatment of the entire examination room.
However, after this incident, he also restrained himself a little. It would be bad if he made Lao Wei unhappy and canceled his results.
Although he is destined not to have an official career, it is much more convenient for him to travel around the world as a juren.
Time passed gradually, and soon it was time to take the final part of the imperial examination.
After the test paper was handed out, Qin Bai did not rush to write, but adjusted his state, and only raised the Lu Pen pen after he had completed his Qi cultivation.
As the pen tip fell, his expression changed slightly, and the surrounding scene began to change.
