Interstellar Female Dressed As A County Dude

    Xie Huaiyu ate and drank enough, put away the food box, and then restarted the exam.

    He retook the stereotyped article on the draft paper twice, deleted some, and finally re-transcribed it when he felt it was perfect.

    This time, he changed the font again and wrote it in very neat regular script. Compared with the running script on the manuscript paper, the examiner prefers the recognizable regular script.

    After another two hours, Xie Huaiyu's paper was finished.

    At this time, it was just You hour, and the sky began to darken slowly, but it was not yet dark.

    Xie Huaiyu dried the paper and put it aside. He took out two oil lamps from the test basket and lit them.

    Bai Shu also prepared a lot of lamp oil for him, which is more than enough to burn for ten consecutive days, so Xie Huaiyu doesn't need to be too frugal when using it.

    At this time, his first day of exams was over, so he took off his boots and sat cross-legged on the couch to relax.

    After sitting for a whole day, his legs and feet became numb. At this time, he took out the hand warmer that Bai Zhu had prepared for him, and asked for another bowl of water.

    Xie Huaiyu threw a paper bag into the furnace, poured in a bowl of clean water, and screwed the furnace mouth tightly. The paper bag contained nothing but quicklime that Baizhu had packed in advance. The lime reacted with water to heat it, and the hand warmer immediately warmed up.

    Xie Huaiyu put it under his feet, warming the muscles of his legs and feet, very comfortable. Eighty percent of my daily fatigue was also washed away.

    Compared with Xie Huaiyu, the other candidates were much more embarrassed.

    Although individual candidates finished writing the papers, they did not have enough preparations, so they could only light a candlestick and sit on the wooden board to rest.

    More people hadn't finished writing at all. At this time, the sky was getting dark, so they lit oil lamps or candlesticks one after another. Continue to fight in the dim light.

    Those who came from poor families, or those who were not prepared enough, did not even prepare candlesticks. So I can only write by the moonlight and the faint light next door.

    At this time, there were examiners selling candles in the examination room for ten taels of silver each.

    Candles that usually cost a few pennies apiece outside can be sold for sky-high prices when they enter the examination room.

    Those wealthy families who do not lack money naturally gritted their teeth and bought it, but those who were really poor could only hope and sigh.

    At five o'clock, the smell of food came from the examination room again, and it was time for dinner again.

    Xie Huaiyu opened another food box as usual, heated it according to the law, and started eating.

    The examination room was huge, and the candidates who were far away from him were fine, but those who were quite close to him were simply tortured.

    I just hate that I haven't prepared enough, and I think that after I pass the exam, I must go out and find a restaurant to eat and drink!

    At night, Xie Huaiyu spread the wooden mats and mattresses on the ground, and then spread a thick layer on top to make his bedding soft and airy.
