Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

At this time, Liu Caixia put the asphalt into the newly bought iron pot and boiled it.

The asphalt turned into a black gelatinous liquid. The pig's head was placed inside and covered with black asphalt.

Leave it for a while and then put it in cold water to make the asphalt harden. Finally, tear the asphalt off the pig's head with your hands.

The asphalt is pulled off together with the pig hair, and the pig skin is clean after removal. It is cleaner, more convenient and faster than other hair removal methods.

This method can be used not only for pig heads and pig feet, but also for anything that needs hair removal.

The leather comes out very clean and there is no damage to the leather.

This is also the reason why Liu Caixia wanted to buy asphalt so much when she saw it.

When the business in the capital city develops and we open more shops, the quantity will increase, and the amount of hair removal from pig heads and pig feet will naturally also increase.

With asphalt, this can greatly save manpower and time.

Since tomorrow is the day when the exam results are announced, Liu Caixia prepared three sets of everything today: three pig heads, three pig tails, three sets of pig offal, and twelve pig trotters.

Lin Weizhong was also at home helping out today, so he asked Liu's father to collect money in the shop while the servant sold and cut the meat.

Lin Weizhong helped pull the asphalt off the pigs' heads and praised them, "It's really convenient that you can buy this asphalt. In the past, it took a long time just to remove the hair from them, and it wasn't clean at all."

In the past, people used to burn the hair on the pig skin directly or use a soldering iron to burn it. But this asphalt is convenient and quick, and it can be removed more cleanly than before.

"Yeah, I was lucky. I just happened to come across it. If I didn't buy it, they wouldn't know what it was for. And it can't be used for anything else. It's best for us to take it back and use it for hair removal."

Lin Keyu was also helping out there. Li Yao and Wei Songbai were no exception. They helped out at home every day. After the exams, they hadn't been arranged to study recently, saying that it was to let them relax for a few days, Luo Hong said as he worked.

"The results will be announced tomorrow, and I don't know how we did in the exam?"

"Uncle Luo, you are actually worried. Didn't you just comfort everyone to take it easy?" Liu Caixia joked with Luo Hong.

"I'm not a saint, how can I not be nervous?"

"Hahaha……"

"Grandpa Luo, I think you'll be fine!"

Lin Keyu comforted Luo Hong. He still had the mentality of a child and had no different feelings about the current exams than before. After going through countless exams, this exam seemed just like that.

“I certainly hope everyone can pass.”

"Exams are nothing more than two possible outcomes: pass or fail. The results will be announced tomorrow, so don't think too much about it."

At the government office, the eight examiners breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. It was finally over, and they all stood up to stretch their muscles. They bowed to the two chief examiners, Mr. Wen and the prefect.

No one exchanged too many pleasantries, as we had talked a lot during this period and everyone was exhausted with backaches.

There were thousands of candidates and more than 10,000 test papers in two sessions.

Therefore, the examiners discussed the papers while marking them. Except for the questions with standard answers, the ones that were correct after one try were kept. For other controversial papers, two examiners were required to discuss them together. The two examiners formed a group and read the papers separately first and then exchanged their views. If both of them thought the papers were OK, they would keep them.

In order to prevent examiners from cheating, the name column of the exam papers at that time was sewn up with needle and thread and the edges were wrapped with grease, with ten exam papers in a group.

An examiner would mark a group of papers, and the remaining papers would be numbered and then taken out and put together by a special person.

Finally, the retained test papers will be counted. If the number of retained test papers exceeds the number of candidates to be admitted, the two chief examiners, assisted by six examiners, will vote to decide the final list.

The workload is indeed enormous, especially for the chief examiner and the assistant examiner, who have to read much more than the others.

The government office finally finalized the admission list. Due to the imperial court's wide range of special examinations and the expansion of enrollment this year, 760 people from Nanshan Prefecture could be on the list.

It is twice as high as in previous years, and of course the number of applicants is also more than double that of previous years.

We were quite satisfied with the selection of 760 people. At least the first two papers with standard answers had full marks, so there was no need to select people from those with flawed papers.

Elder Wen and Prefect Yin stood up, also looking exhausted, but said in a tone that was obviously relaxed: "My fellow colleagues, you have worked hard. Go back and have a good rest."

"Thank you, Master Wen, Master Yin!"

"Thank you, Master Wen, Master Yin!"

"Thank you, Master Wen, Master Yin!"

The six examiners left one by one. Elder Wen and Lord Yin smiled at each other and said, "Elder Wen, you should go and have a rest. I will arrange for someone to copy the list and post it tomorrow morning. I will also send out the admission list of each county."

"Yiming, thank you for your hard work. My old bones really need to rest."

Lord Yin was a graduate of the Imperial College. Although he was not a direct disciple of Master Wen, he had been taught by him and had extra respect for Master Wen.

"Mr. Wen, what are you talking about? I will just instruct the civil servants to do it later. I will just keep an eye on it."

Old Wen waved his hand, stood up and left!

That night, Luo Hong, Li Yao and Wei Songbai all suffered from insomnia.

I don't know how the other candidates are doing. The three of them looked at Lin Keyu who was sleeping soundly, sighed, turned over and continued to suffer from insomnia.

As for the other candidates, of course, some were in a good mood and slept soundly, while others tossed and turned all night. Candidates who had studied for many years and taken the exam many times secretly prayed that they would be able to pass the exam this time and bring honor to their family.

Only if you pass the exam will you have the opportunity to take part in the subsequent exams. The subsequent examination for Juren is more difficult. Even if you fail, the title of scholar will be looked up to in the county.

Luo Hong woke up early in the morning. He didn't know when he fell asleep last night. He is old and less sleepy than young people.

Li Yao and Wei Songbai woke up immediately when they heard someone getting up. They had not slept well the whole night and were almost wandering between half asleep and half awake.

Fortunately, there was no situation like last night in the past few days, and the results will be announced today.

Whether you pass the exam or not, it is a conclusion for you.

"Everyone, get up, pack up quickly, eat something, and then we'll go to the government office to check the list!"

"it is good!"

Those who didn't sleep well were listless, but Lin Keyu was indeed full of energy, like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.

He had no pressure at all.
