Traveling through ancient times

Chapter 133 Hu Shanchang Test and Teaching

"Brother Meiren, my second brother is really awesome, otherwise I wouldn't have brought him to see you!"

Gu Dalian looked like he was in a very good mood and looked very proud!

Wu Shi couldn't help but curl his lips slightly. Shannan County is really full of hidden talents!

"Okay, but I think if conditions permit, you should go to Shannan Academy opened by Principal Hu Shiwei. I can write a letter of recommendation. You can go to Principal Hu. He is very knowledgeable, but he is a very upright person. Whether he can accept you depends on your ability!"

After saying that, he thought for a moment and then said, "Hu Shanchang is a great wine lover... hehe..."

I haven’t finished talking yet, just taste it!

Gu Dalian understood what he meant, and seeing that the serious business was over, she hurriedly took out the cans from the basket as if presenting a treasure:

"Brother Beauty, I'm a man of my words. I've brought you new products!"

Then he took out corn cobs from the basket. The cooked corn cobs gave off a sweet smell. The faint sweet fragrance filled the room, making people want to taste it.

Gu Dalian smiled as she peeled off the skin, pulled off the hair spikes, and handed it over:

"Brother Beauty, have a bite, it's still hot, I covered it with several layers to keep it warm!

Wu Shi felt that he had no authority at all in front of this girl!

Never mind, I reached out to take it. The stick was still steaming. I took a bite, and the sweet taste filled my mouth. I was so tempted that I finished it in one go!

Gu Dalian's little fox look reappeared:

"Brother Meiren, this is what was grown from that corn seed. I picked this out when I was harvesting corn, and I have never been willing to eat it."

"There should be twenty more in that basket!"

"And the fish in this wooden barrel was fished out by my second brother and I from the ice cave in Yandang Mountain, specially for you!"

Wu Shi looked at Gu Dalian's appearance as a little fox. Although it was already cold in October, he felt warm in his heart. This was something he had never felt in his previous life!

He couldn't help but smile and said:

"Then I have to thank you, little fox!

"The memorial about your discovery of sweet potatoes and potatoes has already been received by the higher-ups. It will probably be a few days before the imperial edict commending you will come down. Try not to travel far these days!"

Gu Dalian made an OK gesture, took the letter of recommendation, and said goodbye to her second brother and left!

Although Wu Shi didn't know what the gesture meant, he was in a good mood and called the servant:

"Wu Ming... leave two of the corn cobs for me... no... leave five, and divide the rest among the county magistrate, the chief clerk, the county lieutenant, the registrar, and the others!"

"…Give two to Master Wang as well, and give one to the rest of the people!…Tell them that it was sent by Miss Gu! She herself couldn't bear to eat it!"

Wu Ming looked at it and said: "Master, are you trying to embarrass me? There are many people in the county government office!"

Here, the brother and sister really didn't expect that they could get it done so quickly. It was still early, so they asked for the address of the county school and bought some cakes.

As for the wine? Gu Dalian knew that the wine here could only be called alcoholic beverages, with many impurities and not a high alcohol content!

Gu Dalian specially bought two bottles of 30-year-old Fenjiu with 53% alcohol, two bottles of rice wine, and two bottles of Qu wine from Space Supermarket!

I even bought two bottles of red wine, all in antique packaging! I also bought two bottles of various cans that I had put into the space in advance!

When we arrived at the gate of Shannan Academy, we found out that Hu Shihua didn't come today because he had something to do at home, so we asked about Hu Shanchang's home!

Hu Shanchang’s house is not far from the academy. At the end of the main street, walk further in the second alley and you will find the second house!

The two of them each carried a backpack and were about to knock on the door when they heard a commotion in the yard and a loud voice:

"Come on, come on, I've told you that this place won't work. If you really want to enter the academy, go back and study hard. If you pass the exam, we'll naturally accept you!"

"Director Hu, this child also failed the exam twice. Please be flexible..."

"He can't even answer the most basic questions, how can I open this question?"

The door banged open, and an old man and a child were pushed out, holding gifts of different sizes in their hands!

There was a white, square-faced man with a short beard, bright eyes, and wearing a sky-blue robe. He had a stern look on his face and looked impatient. He waved his hand and told people to leave quickly!

The two men sighed, carried their bags, and walked out of the alley!

Gu Dalian quickly pulled her second brother, came forward, and smiled sweetly: "Excuse me, are you Chief Hu?"

The man was obviously stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "What's the matter?"

"Oh, my brother and I came from the county magistrate's place and brought you some good wine!"

Let’s not talk about whose wine it is for now, let’s go inside and talk about it first!

Hu Shiwei frowned: "When did this kid think of me?...Come in!"

Gu Wenzhi looked at his sister calmly. It seemed that he still had a long way to go in learning from his sister!

Hu Shanchang's house was an ordinary family in the county town with three main rooms and side rooms on the east and west sides. He invited the two into the east room and said:

"You two, please tell me what you want from me?"

Gu Dalian motioned her brother to put down the backpack, took out all the good wine from it, and deliberately opened a bottle of white wine before saying:

"Brother County Magistrate said that you are thirsty for wine. My second brother likes to collect fine wines, so I brought a few bottles for you to taste!"

First, fish out your wine bug, and then we can talk about the rest! See if you take the bait!

The aroma of wine wafted out from the seal, and the whole room was filled with the aroma of wine. Hu Shiwei sniffed and couldn't help but say, "What a strong aroma of wine!"

His throat moved and his face was conflicted. This was an obvious temptation!

He brought the opened wine bottle over, put it to his nose and smelled it!

I couldn't help but take out the wine glass from the small table, poured a glass, took a sip, savored it carefully, with a look of intoxication on my face!

After a long time, he came back to his senses and said seriously:

"Come on, what's the matter?"

Gu Wenzhi received his sister's look, stood up, bowed respectfully, and then said:

"I am Gu Wenzhi, a boy who has been studying with my mother since I was young. I came to Shannan County to settle down some time ago after escaping famine. I would like to ask the headmaster to help me with some teaching!"

Seeing this young man in a sky blue shorts, looking dignified, handsome, and neither humble nor overbearing, Hu Shiwei began to admire him a little!

"Then I will test you!"

When Hu Shiwei asked and Gu Wenzhi answered, the old man and the young man gradually relaxed and became quite harmonious!

Seeing this, Gu Dalian knew that it was done, so she took out various cans from her backpack, opened them and handed them to each person:

"Uncle Hu, I'm thirsty after talking for so long. Let's eat some canned food to moisten our throat first!"

When Hu Shiwei saw it, he realized it was a rare item!

A few days ago, when a student's parent invited him to dinner, he and his two teachers each got a small can. When they got home, they only ate one piece and drank a sip of the sugar water, and shared the rest with their father and two little grandchildren!

I heard that this thing called canned food is really hard to come by, but I didn’t expect that this brother and sister would take out five or six cans at once, and they were different varieties!

Take a bite of canned peach, it’s delicate and refreshing, soft, sticky and sweet. Take another sip, it’s mellow, sweet and satisfying. It’s a real enjoyment and makes you feel happier!

"Boy, you are a good student. Come to Shannan Academy in a day or two!"

"Uncle Shanzhang, my family is building a house.
