Ning Qing and her family arrived at Shi City just as the city gates were about to close again. Fortunately, the guards at the gates were kind enough to wait for their carriage to enter the city. She asked her father to stop and give a tip to the two officers before heading to their strange shop.
On the way, they ate more bread than the food they had prepared. Ning Yang wanted to bring some with her to the exam, because the exam would take three days. Ning Qing had already told her younger brother that she would wrap up a few for him because she had bought a lot. If Ning Yang wanted to eat any flavor, he could tell her so that she could prepare it for him.
