Dominate the ancient academy

The head of the dormitory is selected by the principal from among the outstanding students to assist the principal in teaching, administration, and management of daily life. One person will be selected from the liberal arts and one from the military departments.

Similar to the student union in college, Shu Xiaoxiao didn’t care about the head of the dormitory. Who knew that the head of the dormitory was also responsible for daily life?

They actually have to check the dormitories. It would be fine if there were dormitory inspections in modern times, but they have to check here too. It's better to be safe than sorry. So she should try to become the head of the dorm. But whether she gets first place in either literature or martial arts, she feels that she has no hope, so she can only take a different approach.

At least she doesn't have to be checked in by them. Anyway, it's better for her to manage others than to be managed by others.

"Don't worry, my sweet potatoes won't produce results until October, so I won't participate in the selection of your dormitory leaders next month. You can all compete based on your own abilities. But if I win in October, your original dormitory leader will remain the same, but I will be the dormitory leader of the outer dormitory. If I lose, I will voluntarily leave the academy."

The head of the dormitory is said to be selected by the head of the mountain, but it is basically the first place in the first monthly examination.

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at Li Zhiyi and said, "Do you still want to gamble? If this acre of land produces 1,000 catties per acre, I will add another 500 taels of silver."

Li Zhiyi: "I bet, I'll take five hundred taels too."

He could afford the money, so he joined Ye Xiao in a gamble to see how he would end up getting out of the Yu Ren Hospital.

"I bet two hundred taels on Ye Xiao to win."

"I bet two hundred taels on Ye Xiao to win."

"I bet 100 taels on Ye Xiao to win."

"I bet fifty taels that Ye Xiao loses."

"I also lose fifty taels to Ye Xiao."

"I also lose to Ye Xiao by twenty taels."

......

Quite a few people participated in the event, but those who bet on Ye Xiao to win were generally students from the military department, while those who bet on Ye Xiao to lose were students from the liberal arts department, and some of them did not participate at all.

Unexpectedly, there were so many rich people. Fortunately, she was smart and brought paper and pen when she came. Shu Tingfei took notes, while Su Shiche and Qian Jinbao collected the money.

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the silver that Su Shiche and Qian Jinbao were about to lose, and asked quickly, "Is there anyone else who wants to join?"

"Aren't you three interested? Don't you want to see whether the miracle of producing 1,000 kilograms per mu can happen in this bet? This is the moment to witness a miracle."

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Guanqing and the other two with encouragement.

Shen Guanqing, Cao Yixing, and Zhou Hekang looked at Shu Xiaoxiao's expression and then looked at each other.

Cao Yixing said, "We'll each bet three hundred taels on you to win."

Shen Guanqing and Zhou Hekang nodded.

Shu Xiaoxiao: “…”

She was the only one among the three people in the liberal arts class who won the bet, but unfortunately she didn't feel happy. Did she think she could make a fortune?

"No problem, Third Brother, remember, this time the bet will be decided in October. Everyone go back and have a rest early. You are all welcome to come here in October to see the result."

After Shu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the students left one after another. After a day of classes, they had to go back and rest quickly.

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the three people in front of her, a little confused. She thought that these three people would not participate? After all, they were not ordinary people at first glance. Just now, she clearly saw Li Zhiyi trying to come over and say something harsh, but she saw these three people snorted and left. It seems that these three people are indeed of high status.

"Thank you three brothers for your trust. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

The bet is complete, why don’t you go back to bed?

Shen Guanqing looked at Ye Xiao's puzzled face and said, "I'm Shen Guanqing, they are Cao Yixing and Zhou Hekang. We are just curious and want to ask what these are? Are they also crops?"

Shen Guanqing pointed at the side dishes. His father was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and attached great importance to grain. He would usually talk to him about farming matters. He basically knew all the crops in Daning, but except for sweet potatoes, he had never seen these before. Could they be newly discovered crops?

Cao Yixing came up to Shu Xiaoxiao with a smile on his face and asked curiously, "Brother Ye, what are these? If you grow them separately, will the yield be higher?"

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the three people's curious expressions and said, "These are not crops, but vegetables. This one is chili pepper, which is a kind of seasoning. It is more flavorful than dogwood and can be cooked with many dishes. It will definitely be delicious if you try it later. These two are tomatoes and cucumbers. They can be used as fruits or vegetables. Tomatoes are sweet and sour, which is very appetizing. Cucumbers are crisp and refreshing and also delicious. They will be ready to eat in about a month. Since you three are growing up well, I will treat you to a cucumber and a tomato each to taste them."

Cao Yixing: "One?"

Or is it because they are good-looking?

Seeing Shu Xiaoxiao's reluctant expression, the three of them looked at each other. They never thought that there would be a day when they would have to rely on their looks.

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the shocked expressions of the others and quickly explained, "It's not that I don't want to give them away, it's mainly because there are too few of them, and I still need to save some seeds."

Now the number of tomatoes and cucumbers is too small, so she plans to eat two herself to try them out. Of course, she will also have to give some to the academy's principal, dean, teachers and others to taste. With so many people around, she will cut the ripe tomatoes and cucumbers into plates and let the academy's leaders taste them as well, so that they can have some confidence in the crops she grows.

If you demonstrate your abilities early on, you can gain greater autonomy in the academy.

However, looking at such a small number of seedlings, Shu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little regretful. There were so many people in the academy, and she only had a few here? Wasn't it good enough? She didn't know if she could eat a few of them when the time came.

There are also seeds. These are all we found on the entire mountain. We must try to keep as many seeds as possible from the fruits we harvest this time.

He immediately looked at Shen Guanqing and the other two: "Well, these aren't very delicious, how about..."

Shen Guanqing: "Thank you for your generosity, Brother Ye. We will definitely enjoy the tomatoes and cucumbers. It's getting late now, so we will go back first. Brother Ye should also go back and rest early."

After saying this, the three of them did not stay any longer and went straight back to the dormitory.

They always felt that if they didn't leave now, the vegetables they had obtained by cheating with their looks would be gone, and they were also very interested in these newly discovered vegetables.

"Why don't you try it next year..."

Looking at the three people hurrying around in the background, Shu Xiaoxiao reluctantly completed the sentence.

Forget it, now that I have already made the promise, I will squeeze in when the time comes. I hope to achieve these vegetable freedoms as soon as possible.

"Okay, let's go back too."

Go back and rest early, you have classes tomorrow.

Shu Tingfei: "Xiaoxiao, where is the money?"

Most of the silver was in the form of banknotes, which was easy to carry, but the quantity was too large and he was a little worried about holding it.

"Give it to me. I didn't expect our academy is quite rich."

Su Shiche: "That's right. Sixty percent of our academy's students are from official families. We can still get this money. Xiaoxiao, I'm waiting for you to become the head of the academy."

"Don't worry, absolutely."

As a flower grower, this confidence is a must.
