After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor
Chapter 434: Tingting Girls' College
The two people who were playing stopped and gathered together.
"Hanzhang, how do you pronounce 'tingting'?" An Yumo asked with her head tilted.
"Yumo, go look it up in a book and decide on 'Tingting'." This name made Ding Xirui very excited.
"You're laughing at me, huh~" An Yumo rolled his eyes at her.
Several people walked into the small building and named their classrooms.
"The room for reading and calligraphy is called 'Lanxin'." Song Hanzhang spoke first.
"It sounds nice and easy to remember." An Yumo clapped his hands.
"Can the embroidery room be called 'Linglong'?" Ren Simiao's face turned red.
"Of course, you decide." Zheng Shihui put her arm around her shoulders.
"Where is Sister Xirui's room?" Song Hanzhang asked.
"Let's call it 'Thinking of Flavors'. I need to learn about food pairing and simple herbs in the future, haha."
"Then my kitchen is called 'Awakening Flavor'. I will make delicious food to wake you up..." An Yumo got an inspiration.
"Is it a 'fishy smell' or a 'awakening smell'?" Zheng Shihui teased.
An Yumo raised her hand, "Your room is the only one left. Why not give it a name? Just call it the Wooden Room."
"Hahahahahaha..."
Zheng Shihui proudly chose the word "Tiangong" and held her head high with great pride.
"Shall we invite the county magistrate to cut the ribbon? Or maybe Boss Zheng? In short, let's find someone well-known and influential," An Yumo suggested.
"No..." Ding Xirui stretched out his finger and shook it. "It's a good idea to ask the county magistrate to come, but we are a women's academy. It would be better if we could cut the ribbon ourselves."
"Okay then, I'll ask my dad to come and support us, and let them watch from the side." Zheng Shihui raised her head again.
"Of course."
Song Hanzhang became the dean, and Song Ruohuan returned from the farm and became the vice dean. Fireworks were set off, red silk was pulled down, and the "Tingting Girls' Academy" was opened!
Signs recruiting female students were put up in front of the Zheng family's bookstores and shops. There were also two signs in front of the An family restaurant. After a few days, people came to inquire about the application. Some were skeptical, some were just watching the fun, and some were just waiting and watching. However, no one dared to sign up first.
In the evening, Ding Xirui and others squatted in the yard, looking worried.
An Yumo picked up a branch and scratched the ground. "The tuition is not expensive at all. You can pay back the money by making something, and it can also be used to pay for the tuition. Why doesn't anyone come for such a good thing?"
"When something new comes out, we will wait and see for a while." Zheng Shihui is not that anxious.
"Yumo, didn't Senior Brother Qin say that he would let Qin's sister come? Why is she not here?" Ding Xirui said.
"He's been busy lately... He said he'll come over tomorrow."
"Are you coming or not?"
"bring it on……"
"Hmm?" Ding Xirui was suspicious.
"After all, we have to listen to our elders. The Qin family's sister is already talking about marriage..."
"Hey, why is it so difficult to recruit people?" Ding Xirui pondered. She stood up and looked at the newly renovated two-story building, full of doubts.
On the day of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the county magistrate was invited. He was in charge of the imperial examinations in Luocheng County, and all the scholars knew him. The Zheng family had shops on every street, and the An family restaurant was also quite famous, so the publicity should have been in place. Their college was also well built, with no problem with the equipment. The teachers were all women, so there was no problem recruiting female students...
"I'm hungry. I'll go home and eat first." Zheng Shihui yawned.
"Let's go to the restaurant and eat, the food is ready." An Yumo said.
"Ok."
Several young ladies got on a carriage to go to the restaurant, and Ding Xirui was still thinking about the problem of not being able to recruit students. The carriage entered the street, and the hawking became lively. She opened the curtain and stared blankly at the stalls along the road. When they arrived at the restaurant, An Yumo called people down, but Ding Xirui was still stunned.
Wait, she looked around and saw several carriages, and masters in gorgeous clothes were heading towards the restaurant.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Shihui asked.
"I think I understand." Ding Xirui clapped his hands.
"Understand what?"
"Let's go, let's eat and talk at the same time. Our publicity is indeed not enough." She was a little excited and pulled a few people into the room.
"The places we promote are either closely related to reading or writing..."
"Isn't this right?" An Yumo poured the tea.
"But those who often go to these places are all men," Ding Xirui spread his hands, "either they come from wealthy families and have gone to private schools, or their families can afford to hire a teacher."
Zheng Shihui and An Yumo looked at each other and thought for a moment.
"Makes sense."
"So, instead of promoting in bookstores, it's better to go to cloth shops, vegetable markets, stalls and other places where women often go." Ding Xirui said, took a sip of water, and suddenly felt a little choked... Oh, don't think too much about it for now.
"Recruiting people in the embroidery workshop should be no problem." Ren Simiao agreed with a blushing face.
"Then send more people out and cast a wider net." An Yumo rubbed his stomach and looked at the door. "Why hasn't the meal been served yet? I'm starving."
"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. In addition to changing the publicity strategy, I have another idea," Ding Xirui scratched his face, a little embarrassed.
"You say." The others looked at her with blinking eyes.
"Since the books have arrived, we can just act like students, reading and practicing Kung Fu every morning~" She blinked.
"Hmm...good idea!" Zheng Shihui patted her.
"I have another question," Song Hanzhang said, "In the past, our family invited teachers for us brothers and sisters. We looked for several teachers before deciding on one. Could it be because there are no famous teachers in our academy?"
"Well, that's indeed very possible." An Yumo forgot about her rumbling stomach. She knew all too well that when a restaurant opened it would always use a famous chef to promote it.
"What should we do? We don't plan to treat you." Zheng Shihui lay on the table.
Ding Xirui slapped the table twice, "That's easy. The fox is taking advantage of the tiger's might. Hanzhang, who is your teacher?"
The embroidery shop where Ren Simiao worked hung up the recruitment poster drawn by An Yuxin. Banxia, Nanxing, Xiaoqin and others found many stalls in the market, gave the stall owners money to thank them and asked them to help hang the posters next to the stalls. On the poster, behind the sisters Song Hanzhang, the name of their teacher Chen Xiucai was clearly written.
For three consecutive days, the academy was filled with the sound of studying, attracting many passers-by. Starting from the fourth day, some people finally signed up.
"Can I learn embroidery here?" a girl stepped forward.
"can."
“Can embroidery be used to pay for tuition?”
"As long as we can sell it, it can be worth at least half of it."
"Can I come only half a day?"
"can."
"Mom, I want to come." The girl pushed her mother beside her.
"Okay, there's no one to teach you at home, and you're just sitting around doing nothing." The woman nodded.
After a few days, a total of 24 female students were enrolled. They all signed up for a three-month short-term course, and the total tuition fee was only about ten taels. Even so, Ding Xirui and his friends were extremely happy. Something that had been planned for almost a year could finally begin.
The reading class was divided into two classes, morning and afternoon. Students studied for ten days and rested for one day. Diet therapy, embroidery, cooking, and wood carving were taught every five days, and each class lasted for one hour. After class, students could practice calligraphy, read, embroider, and chat in their rooms, but they had to leave the academy before 3 p.m.
On this day, Ding Xirui was running in the yard with the girls. She caught a glimpse of a suspicious figure near the wall out of the corner of her right eye. She said nothing, and slowly stopped with the students, asking them to go to the classroom first. She went upstairs and looked towards the wall.
Sure enough, there were two men hiding there!
Damn it! The fire in her heart suddenly rose up. She punched the wall, suppressed her anger, went to the meeting room, and told the Song sisters about it.
Song Ruohuan's face turned pale: "Rebuild the wall and replace the broken tiles."
"Those two men must also be punished. I am more worried about their safety on their way home." Song Hanzhang said.
"We usually tell them to go home together...but it's just talk, we can't control it." Xiaozhen said, taking out the address book.
"Miss, Jiazhi lives in Xinglin Lane in the East Block, the farthest away... Xiaoyuer lives in the West Block, in Baiyang Lane... which is..." That is where Song Ruohuan's former in-laws lived.
Song Ruohuan didn't react at all.
"If they go home together, there will be only one person left in the end... and both of them only paid half of the tuition." This means that their family conditions are not very good.
Do you want to hire guards? We are not making any profit yet, so it is better not to spend the money. Song Hanzhang pondered for a moment and said, "Close the door early. My sister and I will send the students from the East Block back home every day, and the students from the West Block will be handed over to the two sisters-in-law at the gate. They will be paid two more cents a day."
"It's feasible if we all travel together." Ding Xirui nodded.
