Temporarily comforting the superb grandma Zhang, Xiaocao felt that this matter was a bit strange, so she decided to go to Rongxuan Academy to find out if there was such a non-staff quota in the academy. It would be even better if we could meet the dean.
Mrs. Fang originally planned to accompany her goddaughter for a trip, fearing that a little girl who was less than ten years old would be neglected by the people in the academy. How did she know that Dean Yuan, who is usually serious and Confucian, is a full-fledged foodie.
Yu Xiaocao would go to the academy to visit her younger brother several times a month, and each time she would bring some homemade food, some of which would be reserved for the younger brother to invite a classmate in the dormitory to eat, and the other would be specially prepared for the old foodie Yuan Sinian of.
Therefore, Dean Yuan specifically asked the gatekeeper of the academy to notify him in time when Yu Ge's sister came to visit him. If he is absent due to something, please tell his servant, remember. For the dean to value it so much, the gatekeeper is extremely enthusiastic every time he sees Xiaocao, and he doesn't dare to neglect her at all.
Xiaocao politely declined the godmother's kindness, and went to the back kitchen of Zhenxiu Restaurant opposite to pack two roast chickens and two sweet-scented osmanthus ducks. The two stewed vegetables and oyster sauce dishes of Zhenxiu Restaurant have almost become the treasures of the store. Even the vermicelli and preserved eggs recently launched cannot compete with them.
Although these two are sold in limited quantities every day, the queue for making an appointment is three days later. However, I still make a few more every day to prepare for the unexpected needs of my boss and his relatives and friends. Yu Xiaocao was naturally classified as one of the friends of the owner's family. Whether she went to eat or packed dishes, she would always be recorded on the account of Mr. Wednesday.
Xiaocao would really be ashamed to take advantage of the store if she was directly exempted from the order. However, since he said less on Wednesday and charged it to his account, she accepted it with peace of mind. She helped Wednesday earn so much less money, and the treats should be done.
The commercial street where the melon shop is located is in Dongshi, Tanggu Town, and Rongxuan Academy is in the south of the town. Fortunately, Tanggu Town is not big, and Xiaocao came to the gate of Rongxuan Academy not long after carrying a big bag of chickens and ducks.
Leaning against the door, which was lazily basking in the sun, when he raised his eyes and saw a slender and short figure, he stood up straight with a jerk. Seeing the basket in Xiaocao's hand, the door immediately burst into laughter: "Oh! Miss Xiaocao, you haven't come for a while!! Our dean has mentioned it several times!!"
The door was clearly seen, the dean really treated this little peasant girl with big eyes differently. Even his precious grandson, he has never missed him so much.
The Yu family has been busy preparing to open a melon shop for a long time, so Yu Xiaocao did come less often, but it's not as exaggerated as the door said. What's more, when the shop opened a few days ago, didn't Dean Yuan have a big meal along with him? It's only been three days, are you hungry again? Did she feed that foodie's appetite
However, she knew that Dean Yuan often gave her younger brother a little trouble. Yuan Sinian is currently only holding the post of dean, and he seldom manages things on weekdays. Except occasionally when he is in a good mood to give a lecture to the students in the exam-taking class, the rest of the time he is not going out, visiting friends, playing chess, Drinking tea, the days are so carefree.
As a famous Confucian of the generation, listening to him give a lesson is really better than studying for ten years! If he gave a lecture, he would definitely not be able to win a seat if he squeezed his head. Such a great Confucianism actually gave a little trouble to a little guy who has not been enlightened for a long time. If it is spread, it will make people jealous! Even Dean Yuan's grandson didn't get this kind of treatment! For the sake of her little brother's future, Xiaocao gave this "gift" willingly!
In fact, Dean Yuan gave Xiao Shitou advice not all because of Xiaocao's food strategy, but because of his love for talents. During this year, Xiaocao added spirit stone water to everything the Yu family ate and drank. Lingshi water not only improved their health, but also enhanced their intelligence unconsciously.
Little Shitou was originally a clever child, but after being nourished by Lingshi water, his intelligence has improved to a higher level, almost to the point of never forgetting. With such a good seedling here, can Dean Yuan see Lie Xinxi? If he wasn't afraid of messing up his seniority, he would have accepted Yu Jie as a closed disciple.
However, thinking about his disciples, the youngest one is even older than Xiao Shitou's father, and the oldest disciple can be Xiao Shitou's grandfather. If they knew that their teacher had accepted a younger brother than their children and grandchildren for them, they would not know what expression they would have.
Although he didn't formally accept apprentices, Yuan Sinian still made an exception to teach him personally. The little guy has only been studying for half a year, and he can catch up with the level of the intermediate class. If he is not afraid of backfired, he is ready to help him apply for skipping grades!
He also knew that his treating Xiao Shitou differently had already made some people jealous. If he made an exception and skipped a grade, it would not be a good thing for Xiao Shitou. So, he asked Xiao Shitou to study and practice calligraphy with the enlightenment class in the morning, and come to his study in the afternoon to explain deeper knowledge to him. He just waited for the placement test after the summer vacation. He believed in his own eyesight, the little guy passed the intermediate class test was definitely a certainty!
Rongxuan College has two promotion exams every year, one after the winter vacation and one after the summer vacation. Students in the lower and middle grades can only advance to the middle and upper grades if they pass the higher-level examinations. If you can't get promoted for two consecutive years, you have to leave Rongxuan Academy. Those who can pass the academy test are by no means lacking in ingenuity, and those who cannot be promoted can only say that they have not worked hard enough.
However, students who can enter Rongxuan Academy are proud of it and cherish the opportunity to study in the academy. Since the establishment of the academy, there has been very little persuasion.
Closer to home. The news of Yu Xiaocao Academy quickly reached Yuan Sinian's ears. He learned that the little girl went to the enlightenment class first to find her younger brother. Impatient, he pretended to be patrolling the academy, without even bringing the servant, and went to the courtyard of the enlightenment class by himself.
It was the break time for the enlightenment class at this time, and the little guys in the dormitory with Xiaoshitou were more excited when they saw Xiaocao than Xiaoshitou, who was his younger brother. They rushed over at a speed of 100 meters and surrounded Xiaocao. In the middle, the chirping goes on and on.
"Sister! What delicious food did you give Shitou today?" There were four people living in Xiaoshitou's dormitory plus him, and the person who was talking was a chubby eight or nine-year-old named Sun Runze. He lives in Fucheng and is the youngest son of the master next to the prefect.
Xiao Shitou tried his best to push him away, rolled his big eyes, and said, "Sun Xiaopang, you are two months older than my second sister! Do you have the nerve to call me sister?"
Sun Runze is obviously a good-natured person, and he doesn't get angry when he is called fat. He wrapped his thick arms around Xiao Shitou's neck, and he looked like a good brother. He licked his face and said with a smile: "We are as good as brothers, your second sister is naturally my second sister! Second sister , What are you cooking this time, I almost drool when I smell it!"
Liu Jinye, the oldest in the dormitory, is the only son of the owner of the largest silk and satin shop in Fucheng. The other Situ Qing, not much bigger than Xiaoshi, jumped over like a monkey, blinking, staring at the food basket in Xiaocao's hand, with a salivating expression on his face. The little guy's grandfather is a member of the third rank!
Thanks to Xiaocao's gourmet food offensive, the younger brother who was born in a poor fisherman has never tasted the pain of being discriminated against. Although in Rongxuan Academy, it is not about status but about talent, but there is still a dark side in private.
It is said that a student from a poor family suffered a disastrous decline in his studies because he was squeezed out by a few people in the same dormitory, and finally had to leave the academy with regret. Fortunately, most of Xiaoshitou's roommates are pure and kind children. Even if they are a little arrogant, they are rushed to the sky by the delicious food that Xiaocao brings over from time to time.
Xiaocao stroked Situ Qing's not so neatly combed hair, and said with a light smile, "The store is busy today, so I don't have time to cook myself..."
When the three of them heard that the food was not made by Xiaocao himself, their eyes dimmed instantly, but soon revealed a brighter brilliance——
"... I just packed roast chicken and sweet-scented osmanthus duck from Zhenxiu Restaurant. I don't know if you like it or not." Yu Xiaocao secretly smiled as she watched the faces of the little guys keep changing.
Situ Qing jumped up all of a sudden, turned around excitedly, and shouted loudly: "I like it! Of course I like it!! Last time my mother and my brother came to visit me and took me to Zhenxiu Restaurant for a meal. The roast chicken is very very very delicious!! But the sweet-scented osmanthus duck is not eaten!"
"Wow! Second Sister, you are so amazing!! You have to order three days in advance to eat the roast chicken and sweet-scented osmanthus duck at Zhenxiu Restaurant!! You actually ordered two at once, I admire you so much!" The little fat man's eyes brightened , There is an unknown fluid in the corner of the mouth.
Even Liu Jinye, the oldest, was no longer calm, his smile widened little by little, and he said repeatedly: "Today, I have been covered with small stones, and I can taste the two special dishes of Zhenxiu Restaurant! Thank you, Miss Yu."
"What are you guys doing there?" Dean Yuan's voice sounded from the gate of the courtyard. A few little guys, like a mouse seeing a cat, ran back to the classroom in desperation, ignoring the delicious food in front of them.
While running, Sun Xiaopang turned around and said, "Second Sister, remember to send us to the dormitory after eating! We'll make rice before going back after school..."
Yuan Sinian looked at the youthful look of the children in the elementary class with a smile on his lips, and said with a soft smile: "This group of boys, don't look like monkeys now, maybe they will be one of the big three yuan in ten years' time. My son who is the prime minister, when he was a child, he climbed trees to dig out bird eggs, went down rivers to touch fish and shrimp, and he did such things a lot.”
Mr. Dean, is it really okay for you to expose Mr. Prime Minister's old background like this
Yu Xiaocao took out two oiled paper bags from the basket. Dean Yuan sniffed lightly, and said with a smile: "The roast chicken and sweet-scented osmanthus duck of Zhenxiu Restaurant are just you, girl, you can take it whenever you want. This week, you are too stingy. I have discussed it several times, but I have not been given this privilege!"
