Royal Gold Magistrate

Reporters have already started queuing up to get in.

On Fang Zhengyi's side, he was directly in charge of the outer curtain officer outside the arena.

The outer curtain officer is a temporary official in charge of affairs outside the examination room, and is also responsible for some internal affairs, such as sending and collecting papers.

When the Outer Curtain Officer saw Fang Zhengyi walking towards him unhurriedly, he immediately went up to meet him, and said anxiously, "Master Fang! Why did you come here!"

"Mr. Zhang and the others have already arrived! You are the only one missing?"

Fangzheng asked puzzledly, "Huh? You know me? Why are you waiting for me? I'm only in charge of the exam! You don't want to give me work!"

The outer curtain officer couldn't laugh or cry: "I saw you in the palace! I don't know what you're talking about...there is a rush to find you! Come in!"

Fangzheng nodded, and was about to follow him, when there was a sudden noise behind his ears, he couldn't help turning around to look.

The outer curtain officer also cast a glance, and took the initiative to explain: "Oh! Maybe some students brought in non-compliant things. This kind of thing happens often, and it should be resolved in a while. Master Fang, let's go!"

As soon as Fang Zheng looked at it, his expression became a little twisted.

Why are the onlookers all reporters from the newspaper office? Are they guilty of occupational diseases?

It was his own reporter who quarreled with the inspector.

With doubts, Fang Zheng shook off the outer curtain officer and walked straight towards the crowd, and the outer curtain officer quickly followed.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be someone from the newspaper office!Still Shen Yi.

Maybe he was pushed and shoved because he was too confused, and he sat down on the ground, picking up the scattered things on the ground with a frustrated expression.

Fangzheng hurriedly picked him up, turned to the little official and said angrily, "What's going on! Why did you push the students taking the exam to the ground!"

Seeing that the backbone had arrived, the reporters talked to Fang Zhengyi about the situation just now.

"Master Fang! They said that the things we brought are unqualified and they will throw them away with us, otherwise they won't let us in!"

"Where is it unqualified! He can check it any way he wants, and we didn't entrain him at all!"

"That's right, there is no rule that you can't bring anything to eat! He pushed Shen Yi down!"

The little official didn't know Fang Zhengyi, but seeing that he was wearing an official uniform, he quickly argued, "My lord! I didn't mean it! There were too many people and they surrounded me just now...I accidentally... ...It's their things that don't conform to the rules! You still have to go in!"

Seeing that he was here to join in the fun, the Outer Curtain Officer also stepped forward and said anxiously: "Master Fang! Just let them handle these trivial matters! This happens every time, it's normal."

"No! You have to talk about how he doesn't follow the rules? How can a student take the exam without food! Are you responsible for failing the exam!" Fang Zhengyi pointed at Shen Yi and said loudly

The food brought by the reporters was all prepared by him, and there is no way that there is anything illegal!

The food in the dormitory is eaten twice a day, and the food is poor and scarce. Usually it will be gone after a few mouthfuls, so I usually bring my own dry food.

In order to prevent entrainment, large pieces of dry food such as pancakes carried by candidates will also be chopped up for inspection.

He had asked someone in advance about the eggs and jerky snacks he had prepared, so they could be brought into the examination room!

Seeing his aggressive appearance, the petty official dared not answer.

The Outer Curtain Officer had obviously seen Fang Zhengyi before, he stepped forward and grabbed Shen Yi's basket and said, "Master Fang, let me check! After checking, let's go!"

As he spoke, he opened the cloth cover of the basket, and all kinds of things came into view at once, and the outer curtain officer was stunned by the variety of tricks inside!

He squeezed out a cube-shaped thing and asked Shen Yi: "What is this?"

Shen Yi smacked his lips, as if reminiscing the taste of this thing: "This is called instant noodles, and the noodles are fried."

This instant noodle was specially prepared by Fang Zhengyi for the reporters. He found a dozen or so old women to weave the noodles and fried them together.

"This...this...this is not in compliance!" The outer curtain officer obviously has never seen instant noodles, and this alone is not qualified!

Fangzheng snatched the noodles and said, "Why is it not in compliance with the regulations! Look...the noodles are all clear, maybe there is entrainment! Passed!"

The outer curtain officer looked carefully and muttered twice, knowing that he couldn't hold him back, so he said helplessly: "Yes, yes! It's qualified!"

Then he lowered his head and took out a piece of jerky, and smelled it.

Fangzheng frowned: "Are you hungry!?"

Outer curtain officer blushed immediately, he hesitated and said: "No...why does this smell like beef..."

Fang Zhengyi also pretended to smell it twice: "This is pork jerky!"

"Dried pork?" Wai Lian Guan was confused.

"Yes! Pork! Could it be that you have eaten beef! You don't care what kind of meat it is! Does it have anything to do with the exam!"

"Uh...ok..ok!"

The outer curtain officer was at a loss, he had invigilated the exam twice and had never seen such a flower!

Fangzheng leaned over to him and pointed to the things in the basket, and said like a few treasures: "This is a sliced ​​cake! This is a shrimp cracker! This is a condiment! This is called Shaqima..."

The onlookers looked dumbfounded, and looked down at the uncooked rice and pancakes they brought, feeling a sense of sadness in their hearts...

Outer curtain officer swallowed hard, is this here for the fucking exam, is this here for an outing!

Then he took out two black and hard things from the basket, and asked Shen Yi: "What are these? They are not for food, they have nothing to do with the exam and should be thrown away!"

Shen Yi pinched his chin and looked at it for a moment: "It's abalone, dried abalone."

The jaws of the people around were dropped, and they all stared blankly at the two pieces of dried abalone, all kinds of emotions in their hearts tumbling.

"........."

The outer curtain officer was silent for a moment and finally broke out. He couldn't help roaring: "Why do you have to bring abalone to the exam!!! What is your purpose in coming to the exam room!!"

Fangzheng patted him on the shoulder in a hurry, and comforted him: "What's the rush, what's the rush... Aren't there cooks and soldiers in the examination room to help the candidates cook? Are they not allowed to eat abalone if they want it? It seems that there is no such rule. .”

"No! Yes!" Outer curtain officer squeezed out two words from between his teeth, bit the bullet and continued to check, and found a bag of paper-like, colorful things from inside, grabbed a handful and held it up to Shen Yi. In front of him, he said angrily, "This can't be eaten!"

"My lord, this is called air-dried vegetables, which can be turned into fresh vegetables once soaked in water... The students are going to ask Haojun to cook noodles for me, so that the texture and taste will not be too monotonous." Shen Yi said honestly.

Outer Curtain Officer: "⊙.⊙......"

Fangzheng smiled triumphantly.

The dehydrated vegetables are made by his servants in the house who cut them into slices and bake them on the stove while fanning them. They are not much different from those dehydrated vegetables in later generations, but it took a little more effort.

In order to let the reporters eat well, he really worked very hard this time!
