Chapter 21: The Legendary Noble Middle School
Xiao Nai took the candle and opened it, and the candle on the left is done every day, and those who do more are given to Xiao Nai to play. There are only two ways to play www.biquge.info Xiao Nai - the fragrant ones are ordered in their own rooms, and the smelly ones are taken to other people's rooms. In line with the principle that the candles made by Zuo Zai cannot be wasted, he will not let the family blow them out until he finishes lighting them, so that the victims often run to Zuo Zai for help.
Xiao Nai also knew that the extremely ugly candle in his hand now was frequented, so this time, he happily chose his grandfather Cheng Fengchun's room to light the candle, and ran away after lighting Xiao Nai. Cheng Fengchun, who was in the study, didn't know that this time, it was his own room that was tragically attacked by the little drug resistant.
After Cheng Fengchun finished dealing with things in the study, he returned to his room, and at this time, the candles with the ingredients had been lit for at least an hour. Cheng Fengchun just pushed open his door and smelled the smell of Forest Morning, and when he walked into the room, Cheng Fengchun's feet were a little immobile, he did smell the smell of Forest Morning was not wrong, but this taste was not the same as that of mass production and test marketing.
The original forest morning was reminiscent of the forest, but the smell was not full.
On the morning when Cheng Fengchun and Cheng Yan were in the forest of Lyon, they both got out of the car after Zuo Zai to feel the morning air, so in the morning of the forest before, they were able to outline and restore the scenes and smells in their memories very well. However, Xiao Nai's parents, who didn't get off the bus and went directly to the town restaurant to eat, didn't feel that the morning in the forest had the shock of scene restoration in addition to the good smell.
Due to the difference in everyone's growth history and life experience, even if it is the same smell, everyone smells and feels differently, and it is no exaggeration to say that a person's sense of smell is as unique as a person's fingerprints.
There are many human reactions to smells that need to be experienced and learned, but despite this, humans still have an instinctive reaction to the advantages and disadvantages of some tastes. Foods with a pungent smell, such as spoiled pork and rotten eggs, will make people instinctively resist and know that they can't be eaten.
Another example is that the fresh air of nature will make people instinctively close to each other and know that they need it. Everyone will fall in love with different flavors based on their own experience, but everyone's taste instinct is such that no one will like the taste of rotten eggs, and no one will hate the taste of nature.
In the minds of those who were not present at the time, the original forest morning left only a flat and instinctive memory of nature. Even if you have not been there before, you can't imagine how thick the snow was and how humid the air was, but all the smells became three-dimensional, and you can feel that you are surrounded by nature.
Cheng Fengchun originally thought that Zuo Zai's addition this time was to use the energy of making cat feces candles to make forest mornings. But in fact, Zuo Zai only fine-tuned a very small amount. No matter how small she put the spices into a candle, it seemed too much, so she made these two more.
Cheng Fengchun regretted it very much at this time, because of his previous misjudgment, Zuo Zai's new recipe was not written down at all, and all the spices had been used, leaving only the one that Zuo Zai had given him before, and the one that Zuo Zai was going to give to Huo Feng, which looked extremely ugly.
The new version of Forest Morning was re-tuned later, although you can still feel the three-dimensional smell, but there is always a subtle difference from this one. But regret is regret, and the final recipe is definitely enough for the scented candle business.
In May 2002, the formula of Forest Morning was finalized, and the production was left to build, and the sales were Cheng Fengchun. Zuo Zai didn't have anything to do at all, and the language had already passed, so she planned to return to China for a summer vacation or something, and then come to London to prepare for her study at Westminster School.
At the beginning, Zuo Zai knew that he was going to study in an aristocratic school, and he was very apprehensive. What is the aristocratic school, 12-year-old Zuo Zai, is really not a concept. To say that before her, the only place she could come into contact with an aristocratic school was the "Meteor Garden", which was red and purple at that time. Shancai, who is not an "aristocratic", is in an aristocratic school, and it is simply bullied.
Zuo Zai knew very well in his heart that he was not much different from Shancai in the TV series at this time. On the plane back to China, Zuo Zai kept thinking about what he would do in the future. Should you just meet someone and say, "Hey, I was recommended by Her Majesty the Queen to study here!" Zuo Zai was shocked when he thought about this, how naïve this idea was! It's so contemptible.
Zuo Zai except that she doesn't feel that she is much different from her male classmates, and her development is relatively stunted in this regard, she is more mature than her peers in other places, and she can't stand the naivety of others the most, and she can't stand her own naivety.
Zuo returned to China, and before she could eat a few pieces of wheat cakes made by her mother, she was urgently recruited back (British things are unpalatable, but they are world-famous, fortunately, Cheng Fengchun's family has a Chinese chef, but Zuo Zai, who is a little dissatisfied). The Zuo family thought that there was something wrong with the scented candle formula, so they hurriedly bought a ticket for Zuo.
Zuo then returned to the UK to find that the formula of the scented candle was good, there was no problem at all, and the problem was Zuo Zai's school.
The queen has moved out, what else can be wrong with the school?
The problem is not only there, but it is huge.
London is actually a newcomer to Cheng Fengchun, he doesn't know about the school in London, he just arrived in the UK and asked the assistant to help Xiao Nai apply for the school, and later added a left. Zuo Zai's information was very complete, and the admissions staff of Westminster School didn't tell Cheng Fengchun's assistant about the entrance exam or anything at all, so he let the assistant go.
The admissions officer did this not because she didn't like Zuo Zai's information, but because she had to inform Zuo Zai to take the exam in two years.
Why?
Secondary schools in the UK are generally five-year, and Westminster School is the same, but the first three years of this school, that is, the junior high school, do not accept female students, and it is a mixed school until the high school. Girls are not allowed to attend a high school in Westminster until they are 16 years old.
Westminster School has a minimum age of 13 and 16 years old, with boys in the 13-year-old junior high school and co-educational schools from the age of 16 onwards to accept overseas boarders (international students). So the admission to the left is the high school of Westminster School. People issue conditional admission, and the conditions for Zuo Zai are simple, and you can come after graduating from junior high school.
The question is, where is Zuo going to junior high school at this time? (Receiving an offer a few years in advance is a common phenomenon abroad, and a normal 16-year-old person who wants to enter West Sminster may receive a conditional offer at the age of 14.) Zuo Zai was a little early because Her Majesty the Queen, and when Zuo Zai graduated from junior high school, he was only 15 years old. )
Zuo Zai, who was urgently recalled, began to prepare for the entrance exams and interviews for girls to go to, and only girls can go to another aristocratic secondary school in London, St. Paul's Girls' High School.
The level of grief in this incident is extraordinary. Let Zuo Zai, who has regarded himself as a boy since he was a child, like to do something about going to the house and revealing tiles, and go to a school where there are only delicate aristocratic girls, this is one of them. Second, and more importantly, if Zuo Zai can enter Westminster School in '02, then she will be able to find Huo Feng's melancholy and handsome face among the few Asian faces in the school in '03.
Zuo Zai now has no time to think about how sad he is. It is impossible for Cheng Fengchun to go to junior high school for her, find the queen again, and it is impossible for Zuo to take the conditional admission letter of the senior Westminster and go to St. Paul's Girls' High School and say, look, I have been admitted to Westminster High School, so you don't let me take the exam.
How to say, São Paulo is also an aristocratic middle school, and people also have a high school, if you want to do this, it is equivalent to raising the bar openly. There was no way, Zuo Zai had to obediently prepare for the entrance exam in São Paulo.
Fortunately, the exam has always been an A-piece-of-cake (easy) for Zuo Zai. Zuo Zai, who has outstanding exam ability, has not missed the exam. What Zuo Zai is worried about at this time is not the written exam, but the interview she has never experienced.
In addition to the answers to the questions, the interview at the St. Paul's Girls' High School also depends on the girl's behavior, the way she answers the questions, and so on. If Zuo Zai is like this, if he can pass the interview, it should be considered a miracle.
But miracles sometimes happen. Zuo Zai, who passed the written test, soon ushered in the first interview in his life.
"Why did you choose our St. Paul's Girls' High School?" The interviewer asks Zuo another particularly regular question.
"Because I heard that St. Paul's is an aristocratic secondary school." Zuo Zai's answer is quite realistic.
"Can you give us a reason why we should admit you?" The interviewer's expression was a little helpless, and it was obvious that Zuo Zai's answer just now was not what she wanted.
"Because I have money." Left then go on to give a simple and crude reason.
"Both the students we admit and those whose applications are not accepted by us have the ability to afford their tuition." The interviewer was a little helpless by Zuo Zai's answer, and he wanted to laugh a little. She didn't think there was any need to talk to this guy anymore.
"I mean, I make my own money to pay for my tuition in São Paulo." Zuo Zai probably understood that what he just said was easy to misunderstand.
Hearing Zuo Zai say this, the interviewer gave Zuo Zai a look and gesture to signal her to continue.
Zuo Zai told the story of how she earned $1.4 million by selling the national flag in the United States, and added that she finally donated $400,000 to the post-disaster psychological reconstruction agency of 911.
In the United States, donations can be deductible, and she has to pay taxes if she doesn't donate. Foreign schools also pay attention to the all-round development of "morality, intelligence, physical beauty", and what people call morality basically refers to charity. (If anyone wants to apply for a prestigious foreign school, remember to donate blood or something, and be sure to remember to write it.) )
In this way, because of his outstanding performance in Germany, he covered up the flaws in other aspects. Zuo Zai successfully found a junior high school where he could go and became a wonderful flower in St. Paul's Girls' High School.
St. Paul's Girls' High School is the only one in the British aristocratic high school that does not need to wear school uniforms, and how beautiful the girls are, to some extent, have become the reason why many girls choose this school, but Zuo Zai likes to wear sportswear.
However, it is completely different from the "aristocratic school" seen in "Meteor Garden", and her classmates in the school did not reject her because of her "strangeness". Except for Zuo Zai, the other students are very ladylike, they dress up beautifully every day, but they are always very decent, one is not exaggerated, the other is not luxurious, on the contrary, everyone is very concerned about learning.
Due to Zuo Zai's excellent learning ability, everyone likes to pull Zuo Zai together when working in a team. With Zuo Zai, that's the guarantee of a high score. In São Paulo, the "wonderful" left was not only not oppressed, but on the contrary, it mixed very well.
One of the most popular parts of the curriculum at St. Paul's Girls' High School is that there are many language courses to choose from. Zuo Zai, who is extremely gifted in languages, learned German, French, Spanish, Latin, and even classical Hebrew in school, but he didn't know what to do.
Zuo Zai's least favorite part is that St. Paul's Girls' High School attaches great importance to music education. There are also scholarships at the São Paulo Girls' High School, but only to students with musical talent. Except for her, almost everyone in the school has some musical talent to some degree. All of the students joined the school choir or orchestra, and many of them participated in both, and there was no one who did not participate.
Zuo Zai, who had no artistic talent, was finally forced to choose to play the triangle in the orchestra. She wanted this position, and no one ever grabbed it from her.
In 2014, 12 years after Zuo Zai entered St. Paul's Girls' High School, another person was also admitted to São Paulo. Huo Feng's half-sister - Huo Xinran.
