The Little Lucky Girl

The students in Class B had not seen each other for a long time. After a brief greeting, they began to complain about the academy together, "The Mid-Autumn Festival holiday is only two days away. Why do we have to rush everyone to come to class at this time?"

Bao Wenkang had lost a lot of weight due to his illness, but he was in high spirits at the moment gossiping, and boasted with a pout, "You guys don't understand this, I asked the senior a long time ago, and he said that the teachers wanted us to clear up the content that we left a while ago so that we can continue to arrange the homework for the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday."

There was a lot of wailing in the classroom. It seemed like we couldn't go out to play during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Bao Wenkang pushed Zheng Huan and said, "Have you finished your homework? If you have, lend it to me to copy."

Ming Youyou was surprised and said, "How dare you come to class without finishing your homework? Aren't you afraid that the teacher will spank you?"

"It's okay, there's not much left. I'll be able to finish it when Master Yin asks everyone to paint later."

Unfortunately, his plan did not come true, because the dean came and told everyone that Master Yin had resigned from the academy and would no longer teach.

The news was too sudden, and the students couldn't help whispering to each other. Ming Youyou reacted quickly. She knew that Magistrate Tao had invited Master Yin for a drink a few days ago, so he must have talked about it.

The school supervisor even called her out and handed her a guqin and a pack of fine rice paper. "This is given to you by Master Yin. He said that he had treated you unfairly before. This is his apology to you."

"Hey, isn't this the zither that Master Yin uses in class? His apology is really generous." Ming Youyou felt embarrassed. It was said that this zither was made by a master craftsman and the wood used was also precious. In short, it was very valuable.

Ming Youyou happily took it and instantly decided to forgive him. She hoped that Master Yin could come to terms with it sooner.

"Then will we still have piano and painting lessons in the future?"

"Not sure yet, let's wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival is over."

The main reason is that Principal Pei feels that the previous tasting sessions were very good and wants to continue. Students can not only learn techniques but also broaden their horizons. Most importantly, they can save money on hiring a teacher.

"What about our class later?"

The school supervisor smiled and said, "Master Guan is back, so naturally he will take over the class."

Ming Youyou's eyes lit up, and she was about to run into the classroom to share the news with Zheng Huan and the others, but suddenly she stopped, calculated the time left until class, and immediately turned around and ran towards the kitchen.

Master Xiao Hong, who was lighting the fire, was startled. "What happened?"

"Hurry up and make fifty buns. I need them after class." Ming Youyou said breathlessly, "Master Guan is back."

Master Xiao Hong understood instantly and nodded vigorously, saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely make it for you."

Master Guan, who loves to tell everyone about eating, drinking and having fun, is finally back, and the business of their convenience store is getting better.

The students in Class B were very excited when they saw Master Guan and they all asked him where he had been during this period.

Master Guan had gained weight and said with a smile, "There was a flood in the Great Qi some time ago. When they were managing the river, they dug up a batch of ancient artifacts. No one could recognize the words engraved on them. I heard that I had some research in this area, so the Qi court sent someone to invite me..."

"......If I were to say what my biggest gain this time was, it would be that I finally got to eat Da Qi's famous dish called roast duck again..." Master Guan looked after the taste, "especially the crispy roasted skin, dipped in sauce and then wrapped in pancakes, put the whole thing in my mouth, and gently took a bite like this..."

Gulp! The students swallowed their saliva involuntarily. As expected, Master Guan was still their Master Guan. He talked about ancient history for less than a cup of tea and immediately turned the topic to food.

Ming Youyou's eyes lit up after hearing this. She knew how to make roast duck, as she had seen the method in a video. If she told Chef Hong about it later, maybe he would be able to make it.

As soon as she started, Chef Hong shook his head and refused, saying, "We can't make it here. The duck is not as delicious as Daqi's. We can't make it taste that good."

Ming Youyou was puzzled, "Isn't it just a mountain? How can the ducks be so different?"

"Then you see, we only have a few dishes that are based on duck? But no one likes to eat it."

That’s true, there’s an indescribable fishy smell in duck meat, and Ming Youyou herself just doesn’t like it.

She thought for a moment and said, "Is it because of the different breeds? Then can we raise them with the duck breeds there?"

"Do you think others can't think of it? Someone has already tried it." Chef Hong sighed, "Maybe it's because 'local conditions and climate determine local ducks'. The ducks we raise here just aren't as delicious as those raised here."

"Then why didn't the Da Qi caravan bring ducks to sell?"

"How much can it be sold for? The wear and tear on the way plus taxes and fees, it costs a lot, but if the price is too high, no one will buy it."

Ming Youyou nodded. She felt that her mind understood, but her mouth and stomach were still immersed in Master Guan's description.

Finally she waited until she got home, and found the roast duck set meal in Zhengdao’s shop. She bought it quietly, rolled one up and tasted it. Ming Youyou squinted her eyes, and it tasted really good.

The system reminded her, "Freshly baked ones taste better."

Ming Youyou recognized its voice-over, "You want me to make this dish?"

The system did not give a direct answer, but only showed her her recent spending records.

Ming Youyou then noticed that she had been addicted to making medicines and promoting them (for fun) in various villages recently, and had not practiced the graduate school courses for a long time, so her points had been decreasing but not increasing.

If you want to earn points, it’s best to spread the word about this dish so that you can get more.

"What are you thinking about so intently?"

Ming Youyou was startled and realized that she almost fell into the small river in front of their yard. Fortunately, she was stopped by Jia Er behind her.

"Brother Jiaer, are you delivering tofu to the village again?"

Jia Er smiled and nodded. Captain Jin had already tacitly agreed to this matter. Now several people in Team A have learned this skill from him, and everyone has saved a lot of money because of it.

Ming Youyou looked at him, then raised his head to look at Daqing Mountain, and suddenly asked, "Have you been to Daqi recently?"

Jia Er suddenly became nervous.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Jia Er said a little disappointedly: "Don't say this to the captain."

Ming Youyou scratched her head. Although this matter should be a secret, she felt that Lord Tao, Zheng Huan and others seemed to know about it.

Although Captain Jin has always been fierce, everyone has been together for such a long time, and Ming Youyou doesn't think he would kill to silence people, so she becomes bolder.

"Is it your turn to go next time?" she asked. "Can you bring me some big ducks when you come back?"
