Dominate the ancient academy

Aunt Kong has two daughters. The eldest daughter, Yu Tao, is thirteen years old, and the second daughter, Yu Xing, is ten years old. Yu Tao is steady and Yu Xing is lively.

"Mom, these young masters are so handsome." Yu Xing sighed. She was not short of money either, so she gave 120 cents for two chickens.

"Those are all young masters of high rank and noble status, they are very different from us. Don't go out if you have nothing to do. We can't afford to offend those nobles."

Aunt Kong looked at her two daughters and said that she didn't want them to have any thoughts of trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful. If they wanted to curry favor with these nobles with their status, there would be no good results. She had seen women who became concubines before, and they were not even as high-ranking as the servants. Their life and death were decided by the mistress.

A marriage can only last long if the two families are well matched. She does not expect her daughters to be rich and powerful, but only hopes that they can live a stable and worry-free life.

"Mom, we know that we will never offend those nobles casually." Xiao Tao said.

There are not many young masters as kind as these. She is doing well now. She has enough food and clothes, and she doesn't have to worry about being sold.

Only Yu Xing nodded and looked at the others with eyes full of envy and a hint of ambition. Although her mother was the cook in the canteen, Aunt Kong was saved by the headmaster and usually valued her reputation very much. They sisters all ate at home and rarely brought back leftovers from the canteen.

They had to buy the food they ate with their own money, and their mother also wanted to prepare a generous dowry for them, so they were usually very frugal.

The family's income, apart from the mother's salary, comes from the chickens. The mother usually cooks eggs for the sisters every few days to nourish their bodies. The chickens are usually only eaten during the Chinese New Year. But these young masters bought the chickens and even brought the seasonings. They must have been going to roast the chickens.

She had seen roasted chickens in the town at the foot of the mountain. They were greasy and mouth-watering, but they cost eighty cents each. They could only take a look and leave, while rich people could eat as much as they wanted. She also wanted to live such a life.

The four of them took the two chickens and ran carefully to the creek on the back mountain. Shu Tingfei and Qian Jinbao packed up the chickens, while Shu Xiaoxiao and Su Shiche went to collect firewood.

Worried about being late for the afternoon class and seeing that there were not many people around, the three of them made a fire directly by the stream and skewered the chicken on two sticks.

Over the red flames, the two chickens slowly turned into an attractive golden color, and the aroma of meat filled the air.

"Gulp!" The four of them swallowed at the same time, staring at the increasingly tempting roast chicken.

"Is it ready?" Shu Xiaoxiao kept her eyes on the roasted chicken and urged him. She felt that the roasted chicken in front of her was too attractive and caught her attention.

Shu Tingfei felt the three people were eager to pounce on him, so he quickly sprinkled the last layer of seasoning on them and said, "Okay, okay, get the banana leaves ready. We'll each have half of the two chickens."

In this situation, it was not appropriate for them to bring bowls and chopsticks. Fortunately, banana leaves were everywhere here. When they were collecting firewood just now, Shu Xiaoxiao and Su Shiche simply picked up a few banana leaves, which were perfect for holding the roast chicken.

Shu Tingfei skillfully divided the two chickens into four portions, two of which came with chicken heads and necks, and one without. Each person took one portion. Shu Xiaoxiao and Su Shiche took the ones without chicken heads and necks. They were a bit picky eaters and didn't like chicken heads and necks. Shu Tingfei and Qian Jinbao didn't care.

A few people didn't care about the heat and put the roast chicken into their mouths as soon as they got it.

Shu Xiaoxiao doesn't eat chicken heads and chicken necks. Normally, she doesn't even eat chicken skin because it's too greasy. But the skin on the outside of the roast chicken is roasted over fire and is not only not greasy but also a little crispy, with a slightly salty taste, which is really delicious.

The four of them attended classes for the whole morning. They were at the age when they could often eat their parents out of money. Even if they were used to having two meals a day, they would still get hungry.

In less than five minutes, the four of them finished the roast chicken.

"I feel this is the best meal I've had since coming to the academy." Qian Jinbao touched his stomach and sighed with contentment.

"Yes, it's delicious. I wish we could eat like this every day!" Su Shiche said expectantly.

Shu Tingfei: "This is how you should eat chicken, it's the most satisfying way."

Seeing the expectant eyes of the three people, Shu Xiaoxiao said speechlessly: "Wake up, how many chickens does Aunt Kong have in total? Didn't you see it?"

"Why don't Aunt Kong raise a few more chickens?" Su Shiche sighed.

Shu Tingfei: "No matter how many fish Aunt Kong raises, it won't be enough for us to eat two every day, right?" Although they are delicious, we also have to think about the actual situation!

Shu Xiaoxiao: "Okay, we'll think of a way later, but we have to keep it a secret when we get back, otherwise if everyone goes to Aunt Kong to buy chicken, we won't even have a chance to enjoy a meal."

Su Shiche: "We definitely won't tell you this."

If they all knew about it, they would definitely want a piece of the pie, but it is better to eat it alone.

After eating and drinking, the four of them hurried back to the dormitory to prepare for the afternoon classes.

When Huo Feng was observing the sprouting of sweet potatoes in the yard, he noticed some movement by the stream. He hurried out to check and discovered that Ye Xiao and others were roasting chicken.

Huo Feng: “…” He had seen people making trouble in the academy, but he had never seen anyone roasting chicken.

The guard next to him licked his lips and said, "Boss, I want to eat roast chicken too."

That chicken looks so delicious!

Huo Feng: "I want to eat it too. I'll tell you after I ask the prince."

I was surprised that Mr. Ye and his companions were so bold and capable of doing things. They had openly gambled in the academy before. If the dean did not value crops, they would definitely have been criticized. But now they are secretly adding more food to their meals. They are so brave.

"Sir, Master Ye and his men are now by the stream...roasting chicken."

Yun Qinghan was a little surprised. It seemed that his future junior fellow apprentice was quite courageous. The students who had just arrived at the academy were still better off, but those disciples from aristocratic families would need a period of adaptation, especially with regard to meals. At home, when they were hungry, they could always have snacks or soup to fill their stomachs, but here they would not be allowed to eat at any time.

Here, students can only eat pastries when they are resting. It takes a month or two for many students to adapt. He was still served food by the secret guards at that time. He did not expect that his junior brother could be self-reliant. There were not many people in the academy who had such courage and ideas. It seemed that he had to meet this junior brother early, and not wait until the harvest.

"Take some people to the mountains to get some prey in the afternoon, and we'll add some food." And by the way, see if we can hook out that greedy cat.

Huo Feng's dream came true so quickly: "Yes, I will arrange someone right away."

Huo Feng bowed and stepped back, ready to show his skills in the afternoon.

Shu Xiaoxiao and the others returned to the dormitory and rinsed their mouths with strong tea before going to class with peace of mind.

This afternoon we practiced calligraphy. When getting the soft brushes, many students began to sigh. Most of the students in the martial arts class are seriously unbalanced in their studies. If you talk about practicing martial arts, no problem, we will practice the way you say; if you talk about memorizing and writing, it's not that we don't want to, but they have their own ideas about these papers and pens and they don't obey discipline!

It can't be too light, and it can't be too heavy, so Shu Xiaoxiao's handwriting is average among the students, which is very gratifying.

Shu Xiaoxiao has liked calligraphy since modern times, but she is really an amateur and can only copy. She bought two bottles of ink and calligraphy brushes in college. When she first bought them, she set a goal of copying three pieces a day. She must practice well. Maybe she can reach the peak of her life with this?

As a result, it didn't last more than a week before it was placed in a corner and covered with dust. Only when I was tidying up did I think of my former ambitions.

However, in modern times, it is mainly because of the little devil called mobile phones. I don’t know how many people have been blocked from the road to success. The temptation is too great. When you have nothing to do, you play with your mobile phone. At that time, time is like a meteor in the sky. When you just want to do something serious, it is gone forever.

Now that she no longer has a cell phone to distract her, she must improve her handwriting to be presentable.

As the saying goes, one's handwriting reveals a person's character. She must practice hard and make sure her handwriting matches her face, otherwise it will be embarrassing to go out.

I originally wanted to come to the academy and be a lazy guy, but after just a few days, I have found so much work for myself. Not to mention farming, there is archery in the morning, calligraphy practice in the afternoon, and horse riding tomorrow. It seems that I still need to work hard.

At noon, Shu Xiaoxiao drank a little too much tea to relieve her boredom, so she practiced for half an hour and then raised the greeting card.
