Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Yulin Academy implements a weekly boarding system, which means that girls who come here to study need to live in the academy for the first month and go home once every seven days.

Liuli and Ye Jintang sat in the carriage, and looked through the window at the three little girls walking happily into the academy without even looking back. The two mothers felt so sad.

"My queen, why do I feel like I miss Zhuzhu so much now? She has been raised by my side since she was born and has never left me for a day. Now she suddenly has to stay in the academy for seven days. I feel so sad just thinking about it."

Liuli wiped her eyes gently with a handkerchief, her voice choked with sobs.

Ye Jintang, who is usually very strong, is not much better than Liuli.

Her eyes were slightly red and she felt very uncomfortable. An An and Nuan Nuan had grown up by her side. There were so many palace maids, nannies and wet nurses serving them in the palace, but Ye Jintang was reluctant to leave all the children's affairs to them.

No matter how busy she is on weekdays, she will always spend plenty of time with her children.

Sometimes, the memorials in her hands piled up like a mountain, and she would even take them back and review them while watching the children play.

Now that the child she held so dearly in her hands was leaving her, it would be strange if she wasn't heartbroken.

After the first batch of students entered Yulin Academy, the gate of the academy slowly closed. Ye Jintang and Liuli looked at the closed gate and were reluctant to leave.

"Liuli, are you okay for a while?"

"No, the demon kings at home are all watched by their nannies, so I have nothing to worry about."

"Why don't we go to Deyue Tower and have a seat? There's a carp feast on at Deyue Tower recently. Let's go and try it together."

"Uh, doesn't carp have an earthy smell? How can we prepare a carp feast?"

"The chef at Deyue Tower is really good. You'll know when you go there."

Ye Jintang felt a little bored and didn't want to go back to the palace, so he made an appointment with Liuli to have lunch at Deyue Tower.

The two have known each other for many years, but since they had a child, it seems like they haven't gotten together to chat and laugh like they did today for a long time.

Xu Guixiang became a princess, but her Deyue Tower remained open. Although she did not come here often, she would still pay attention to the dishes here.

This time, Xu Guixiang asked the kitchen staff to learn how to make the carp feast. She heard that Ye Jintang knew how to make a carp with bean paste, so she went to ask Ye Jintang for advice.

Ye Jintang was not stingy and told her several ways of cooking carp.

Ye Jintang was a person who had never done any housework, and all her methods of cooking fish were just rough estimates. After Xu Guixiang asked for the recipe, she asked the chef of Deyue Tower to study it carefully. It was unknown how many carps were used to prepare the carp feast.

Carp is a very common fish, and the people of Tianqin State don't like to eat it because of its earthy smell.

Everyone was very curious about the carp banquet that Deyue Tower suddenly held. How could such an unpalatable fish be made into a banquet? So in the beginning many people came out of curiosity.

Who would have thought that everyone who had eaten the Carp Banquet would praise it highly, and the Carp Banquet became an instant hit.

Ye Jintang had her own private room in Deyue Tower. When their carriage arrived, there were many people standing at the entrance of Deyue Tower waiting for a seat.

The two of them didn't wait for a seat and went straight to the private room upstairs, which caused dissatisfaction among many people.

"Boss, what's going on? We are all waiting in line here, how can those two ladies wearing veiled hats go directly to the second floor?"

"The two guests are relatives of our boss lady. They have their own private room, so they don't have to wait for a table with you."

The shopkeeper of Deyue Tower was a very good social person. When he saw that the people waiting for a seat looked unhappy, he quickly asked the waiter to bring some cooling food and drinks to shut them up.

Ye Jintang ordered a carp feast, and soon, one delicious dish after another featuring carp was served on the table.

Braised carp with fermented black beans, sweet and sour carp, boiled fish fillets, and grilled fish are all her favorite dishes.

"Liuli, try this boiled fish fillet. It's super delicious."

Liuli held the chopsticks and looked at the large bowl of red peppers with a few fish fillets floating on top. She didn't dare to pick up the chopsticks.

"My lady, can you really eat so many peppers?"

"The red peppers are just for show, they're not spicy at all."

Ye Jintang personally picked up a piece of fish fillet for Liuli, and she also picked up her chopsticks.

The peppers from Tianqin Kingdom were not as spicy as any she had eaten before.

The chili peppers of Tianqin Kingdom are only slightly spicy at most.

Liuli picked up the fish fillet and put it into her mouth nervously. It did not have the earthy smell she had imagined, but was filled with the fresh and spicy taste of chili and fish.

This is the first time she has tried this flavor.

Liuli looked at Ye Jintang with bright eyes.

"Oh my God, my lady, I have never eaten carp like this before. In my impression, carp always tastes fishy and has a lot of bones. The fish fillet I just ate has no bones at all."

"That's right. A carp is only worth two or three cents, but this portion of boiled fish costs three taels of silver. With such a big difference in money, we don't have to pick out all the fish bones for them."

Not only are the fish fillets boneless, but even the braised carp with fermented black beans has its bones removed in advance. Deyue Tower has specially hired several fish killers, and they use tweezers to remove the bones of each carp one by one.

Liuli and Ye Jintang were eating a delicious carp feast while talking about the girls' school.

"Yulin Academy is just the beginning. Later I will open another girls' school in the capital where ordinary people can send their daughters to study."

"You have more experience in running a medical school for girls. I still need your help with this girls' school."

"Your Majesty is so polite. As long as you can use me, just give me your orders."

"Then I won't be polite. During this period of time, you should write a charter and see how we open a girls' school."

"I am now worried that after the girls' school opens, we may not be able to recruit students."

Ye Jintang sighed, picked up the plum juice on the table and took a sip.

Most ordinary people still feel that it is useless for girls to go to school. Instead of spending time on school, it is better to learn embroidery or find a good family to marry early.

"This is easy to solve. We first build a girls' school with a relatively high threshold, hire better teachers, and then spread the word that the students taught by that teacher will marry into a wealthy family and have great success."

"As long as we blow loudly enough, we will have no problem finding students."

Ye Jintang and Liuli smiled at each other. In fact, this method was similar to the one Ye Jintang used to run Yulin Academy.

In the minds of ordinary people, the only way out for women is to get married, and the quality of the marriage directly affects the woman's life and even the life of her family.

The two of them took advantage of this mentality and persuaded the wealthy families in the capital to send their daughters to girls' schools.

As long as there is one successful case, girls' schools will never have to worry about not having a problem recruiting students in the future.
