Chapter 47 Xiaobao enrolls in school
This was Yu Shu's own thoughts, and she didn't know if the ancients were happy to accept this, she paid attention to everyone's reactions, and saw that they were all skeptical and opened their mouths with difficulty and swallowed with a strange expression.
"Oh my God, it's so miserable to see you eating, is it so hard to swallow? Tell me how I feel after eating, I can handle it. Yu Shu was not sure of the tastes of the ancients.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's really delicious, and I'll be happier if I didn't know it's a pig's intestine!" The two little girls said one after another.
"If you don't know that this is a pig's intestine and only let you eat it, will you have a hard time? Is it acceptable? Yu Shu asked.
Everyone looked at each other, and if they didn't know what it was, they would be very uneasy to eat, and they wouldn't dare to eat it.
Yu Shu saw their faces and guessed that the acceptance of this thing was not very large, and after thinking about it, it might be related to the appearance and slight smell.
She went into the kitchen again in silence and cut the rest of the prepared large intestine into sections and put them in the braised pork to marinate together.
I put tangerine peel, star anise and a little peppercorn, so that the marinated pig's large intestine can't smell the strange smell.
"You taste this." Yu Shu came out with the marinated large intestine, and the fragrant smell greeted her.
This time, everyone had a lot of fun, because there were too many spices to hide the smell and make it look so special.
"Isn't that delicious? If you can, we can also add this to our braised pork, but you can't tell others that this is braised large intestine, it is called braised skewers, what do you think? Yu Shu asked for everyone's opinions.
There is no way, only the native ancients have a say here, as for the name, it is mainly like the pig farm is cut into circles.
In the end, the braised large intestine that received unanimous praise officially went out on the street the next day, and Yu Shu also asked the old man guarding the door to get it quietly in the morning.
She has already negotiated with all the pork guys in the town to buy pig intestines for a pound, and they are happy not to have to deal with stinky things, and they can still sell them for money.
Pei Qingrin has been busy with the prey on the mountain recently, and the prey he brought back was all taken to Yu Shu's workshop to make braised meat.
"Pei Qingrin, you see that Xiaobao is not too young at this age, and we can be regarded as having a firm foothold in the town, why don't we send Xiaobao to school, what do you say?" At dinner in the evening, Yu Shu discussed it with Pei Qingrin.
Pei Qingrin only glanced at Xiao Baoxueliang's eyes and knew that he was eager to enroll.
"It's okay, I've actually enlightened him, but I only know how to read, and I don't understand a lot of things in books, so it's not easy to teach." Pei Qinglin said embarrassedly.
Yu Shu glanced at Pei Qingrin, who was embarrassed that he still had self-knowledge, as for Xiaobao's enrollment, she asked Pei Qinglin to deal with it.
"The best academy in the town is Qingshan Academy, and I also want Xiaobao to study there, what do you think?" Pei Qinglin asked.
Xiaobao sat next to him and was well-behaved, eating food, and he was very happy to go to school with his friends.
"I'll take you and Xiaobao to the academy tomorrow to have a look, it's close to Qingqian's feet, and it's only a quarter of an hour away from here." Pei Qingrin didn't go to the Rolling Academy, but just listened to the innkeeper who had been friends before.
Yu Shu thought that she didn't need to go out and walk around by herself in the shop, and she had to take the time to go back to the village to see how Sister-in-law Liu's chickens and ducks were raising.
The next day, a family of three dressed up and set off for Castle Peak Academy, and when they came to the gate of the academy, they were stopped by an old man in a long robe and asked who they were and what was going on.
"Hello old man, I am a resident of the town, and my child has reached the age of admission and enlightenment, I want to see if your hospital can accept him into school?" Yu Shu was wearing a lotus-colored skirt today, and her speech was also very elegant, which made the old man look twice.
Generally, village women are vulgar and ask how much it costs to study, although this woman looks average, she is very polite.
"This lady, I don't know how old the child is? Our children's starting age is five years old, and we don't accept them if they are over or before that age. ”
Yu Shu heard that there was a standard age for admission in ancient times and in modern times, but the ancients were so precocious that they were about to start reading at the age of five, thinking that they were still a little girl in her mother's arms at the age of five.
Xiaobao was not afraid to stand up when he heard the old man's words, and replied crisply, that he was just five years old.
The old man asked Xiao Bao if he had opened a book and learned from Meng, and Xiao Bao replied that he had learned a thousand words.
In the end, the old man led them into the academy together, and the mountain chief had to finalize it, Yu Shu pondered whether he needed to give some benefits, thinking that the ancient literati were pedantic, and they hated the merchants who were full of copper smell.
The old man led them into the academy, and only after stepping through the gate of the academy, he heard the sound of reading aloud.
There is a statue of Confucius in front of the person, and there are melons and fruits in front of the statue, which is supposed to be used to worship Confucius.
There are Confucius quotations everywhere, and Yu Shu looks at this academy, of course, it can't be compared with modern schools, but it is also decent.
Several people visited Mr. Xu, the head of Xiangshan, this Mr. Xu heard that he was a person who used to be a high school jinshi, but later because his parents died one after another, he was older and exceeded the time stipulated in the scientific examination system after two hot filial piety, which delayed the future.
Now that he has returned to his hometown and founded a academy to benefit Sangzi, Yu Shu looked at the man in front of him and found that if his age is in modern times, it is proper to be middle-aged, but forty years old is an old man at the level of a grandfather in ancient times.
"Chief, they are students and family members who ask to learn, take a look." The old man said that he also handed over the family information that Xiaobao had just filled in by himself.
"Hmm... Merchant children, who has the little doll ever been enlightened with? It's okay to write this word. Xu Shanchang walked by with a pair of sharp eyes, as if to see if there was a possibility of a parent ghostwriting.
Yu Shu looked straight at Xu Shanchang, anyway, she is not favored as a woman who can read and write.
"It's just a hunter on the mountain, my father learned to write when he was young, and he only recognized Qi Qianziwen, and my son's handwriting was taught by me how to write and he practiced it himself." Pei Qinglin said.
The mountain chief looked at their family and nodded with satisfaction, and said, "I only need to give ten taels of silver a year."
Yu Shu sighed Sure enough, the ancients were so expensive to read, she brought fifty taels of silver, and she went to one piece.
The old man led them to pay the money, and after receiving a number of enlightenment books, they were held in Pei Qinglin's arms.
Yu Shu saw that the problem of admission had been solved, so she took them to the cloth village and pulled a lot of cloth back.
Among them, there is a fine cloth left for Xiaobao to make a long shirt, so that if he goes to school, he will not be looked down upon, a coarse cloth is for Pei Qing Rinyun's clothes, and a cotton cloth is left for Yu Shu to make clothes for himself.
