Chapter 57 Applying for a Cooking Class (2)
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the children stood in line and stood quietly, and Yuan Tianye was very satisfied. He didn't get up either, sat there and handed the teacup to Yuan Shi's hand, and glanced at the scene with his eyes, and every child below seemed to feel that "Childe is looking at me", and they all kept silent and stopped moving. Yuan Tianye retracted his gaze and began to speak. The voice is not loud, and the tone is gentle, but in the open field, it can be heard clearly.
He didn't need a manuscript, just sat there, looked down, his voice was not slow, starting from the boys' class, and then to the girls' side, everyone, what they did during the month, how they performed, and what their grades were, all of them were commented on by him. Dozens of people, none of them are missed, and the reviews are objective and to the point, accurate and in place. There was neither a severe reprimand nor a harsh punishment in the words, but in the ears of these children, they all changed color suddenly, and they stood restlessly, like a man's backβit turned out that everything he did could not escape the eyes of the child; Every word he said was heard by Childe; All the good and bad performances were remembered by Childe. Everyone has both the fear of being mastered, and the joy of being noticed by the son, the mood is extremely complicated, and the feeling is also the most profound.
Lin Xiaozhu couldn't help but glance at Yuan Tianye in admiration. This teenager, if placed in the 21st century, is definitely a genius, he can create a career at a young age, and it is no problem to be in charge of a large company.
After Yuan Tianye commented on everyone, he announced the evaluation results again. Everyone can see the usual performance, and Yuan Tianye also made it very clear when he commented just now. So there is no suspense, Wu Pingqiang won the first boys, and Lin Xiaozhu won the first among girls.
Then he added: "The previous study is over. Next, everyone will enter the skills class and learn various skills. However, Ben Gongzi has said before that the villa does not raise useless people. In a little while, the teachers of the various skill classes will come to you and select the apprentices; At the same time, you can also apply for your favorite skills class according to your ambitions. If you are not selected by the teacher, or the class you declare will not use you. Then you just can't stay in this villa anymore. Speaking of this, he glanced down and said, "But there is a restriction here, boys can only apply for the first, second, and third classes; Girls can only apply for classes 4, 5, and 6. Concrete. Let the steward tell you about it. β
Yuan Cheng stepped forward and chewed the words and explained the skills learned in each class. After listening to this, Lin Xiaozhu glanced at Yuan Tianye. Secretly pouted. Yuan Tianye's words are very good, but they are actually fooling people. For example, the fourth class is to learn dressing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, cooking and tea, and when these girls hear it, their eyes are full of little stars. I feel like I'm going to be groomed to be a noble lady. A good life beckons to them. They have never been in contact with the outside world, how do they know that this is actually a concubine class? To put it bluntly, the fifth class is the Yahuan class. Class 6 is the female red class. The first, second, and third classes of boys are cooking classes, entourage classes, and account classes.
Yuan Cheng finished explaining the majors of each class, and introduced the teaching and learning on the stage one by one. Lin Xiaozhu was surprised to find that there were a few more old people on the stage at some point. In addition to Steward Qin, there are two teachers in the cooking class: a thin and talented old man in his sixties with a white beard, surnamed Ma; A fat old man in his fifties with a kind face, surnamed Yu.
After the introduction, Yuan Chengdao: "Next, the apprentices will be selected by the first and fourth classes. Twelve people are selected in one class. There were boys who were willing to go to the first class to stand there. There are only 12 people in the fourth class, and the girls who are willing to go to the fourth class stand on the right. β
A thin and a fat old man and the beautiful Zhou Jiaoxi. They all stood up and stepped down from the stage, one left and one right.
Why do you choose people first in the cooking class? Lin Xiaozhu furrowed his eyebrows. If Yuan Tianye only needs people to go to the enemy's house to be cooks, the cooking class is not so important, right? If you want to get close to the enemy and get information, how can the cooking class be as important as the retinue class? Don't. These cooks he recruited were used to open restaurants to make money? Come to think of it. Lin Xiaozhu became excited. If that's the case, that's great. Either way, she had to go to the cooking class.
I don't know if someone did the propaganda in the boy pile or what, the two old men stood off the stage, and there were people in the boys' team who came out of the queue and came to them. And the girls, naturally, are also rushing to the right.
"Lin Xiaozhu, what are you studying?" Zhou Yuchun, who was lined up behind Lin Xiaozhu, seemed to be undecided, and asked.
"I want to learn how to cook." Lin Xiaozhu looked at the cooking class, and was about to leave for that side, when he heard a female voice shouting, "Lin Xiaozhu." β
"Zhou Jiaoxi called you." Su Xiaoshu turned his head and said to Lin Xiaozhu.
"What did she tell me to do?" Lin Xiaozhu was surprised. She didn't plan to enter the fourth class, and was about to pretend not to hear it, when she heard Zhou Jiaoxi shouting: "Lin Xiaozhu." β
"Yes." Seeing Zhou Jiaoxi's eyes looking over here, Lin Xiaozhu had to respond and ran over.
"You are the first in the evaluation, and we have decided to give you priority." Zhou Jiaoxi smiled softly at Lin Xiaozhu, and his originally delicate and beautiful facial features were even more charming. The thousands of customs unintentionally revealed made these girls from the mountains feel inferior and envious, and from the bottom of their hearts, they longed to be as beautiful as Zhou Jiaoxi. Therefore, I was extremely envious that Lin Xiaozhu was given priority admission before I signed up, and at the same time, I was secretly anxious - Lin Xiaozhu had already occupied one of the twelve places. Can I be admitted on my own?
"Thank you, Teacher Zhou. But I want to learn cooking, I want to sign up for a class. Lin Xiaozhu was unmoved and simply refused. Xiang Zhou Jiaoxi bowed respectfully, and without hesitation, he turned around and ran towards the cooking class. There are a lot of people who have signed up over there, and she won't have a chance if she doesn't go.
"What? Sign up for a class? Did I hear me right? β
"Yes, don't girls only have to pick four, five, or six classes? How can she sign up for a class? Behind him was a chatter.
Lin Xiaozhu didn't hear the discussion behind her, and she didn't squeeze directly into the group of boys in the cooking class, she knew that even if she squeezed in front of the two masters, Ma and Yu, she wouldn't be able to register. Instead, he turned to Yuan Tianye, gave a salute, and said directly: "Childe, I want to register for a class." I believe that if I learn to cook, I will be able to use it better for my son. β
"Why do you say that?" Yuan Tianye turned his face to look at her, his expression was as usual, as if he expected her to say this.
"If a girl is a cook, she can go into an inner house that male chefs can't enter, or she can run a restaurant outside to make money for her son. It can be inside or outside, and can be advanced or retreated. Lin Xiaozhu said. This time outside, she has learned that this is actually an alternate era. And in this ancient period similar to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the restraint on women was not as strict as in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Women can go out on the streets at will, and they can also do things outside to make money like men.
"But women are not fit to be cooks." The man sitting next to Yuan Tianye interjected. When he was introduced just now, Lin Xiaozhu vaguely remembered that his surname was Liu, and he was a teacher in the account room.
"If you don't give it a try, how do you know it's not suitable? Childe didn't even give the girl a chance to sign up like this, and he didn't know that it might be Childe himself who suffered. Female chefs also have the usefulness of female chefs, don't they? Lin Xiaozhu didn't care about the words at this time. She hoped to move Yuan Tianye as soon as possible. Otherwise, the admission list for the cooking class over there will definitely come down, and even if she moves Yuan Tianye, it won't be of much use - who knows if she can increase the number of places?
"You mean, if I don't let you learn to cook, I'm going to suffer a lot?" Yuan Tianye looked at her with a smile and asked.
"Exactly." Lin Xiaozhu answered categorically.
Yuan Tianye and Liu Jiaoxi obviously didn't expect her to answer so tactfully, they were both stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, and suddenly laughed "haha". It made everyone look this way. When those girls saw Yuan Tianye's handsome smile, their hearts beat faster and their faces flushed slightly.
"Okay, I'll give you this chance." Yuan Tianye felt the girl's gaze, put away the smile on his face, and turned his face to Yuan Chengdao, "Announce, there are girls who are willing to sign up for a class, and they can take the exam for Ma Jiaoxue." β
That's it? Lin Xiaozhu was overjoyed. He saluted Yuan Tianye respectfully: "Thank you Gongzi for your success." β
"Don't be busy thanking me." Yuan Tianye looked at her and shook his head, "Do you know why I didn't let you sign up for a cooking class?" That's because women are not suitable for cooking at all. If you really want to learn, there are also people in Class 4 who teach, and you can learn there too. β
"Class 4 is not as professional as Class 1. After all, there's so much to learn over there. Lin Xiaozhu said with a smile. Hearing that Yuan Cheng had announced the decision just now, she stopped talking nonsense, gave him another salute, and turned to walk towards the cooking class.
Upon hearing Yuan Cheng's announcement, the girls were stunned. Everyone looked at Lin Xiaozhu and began to hesitate. Lin Xiaozhu's brain is smarter than them, could it be that the first class is really stronger than the fourth class?
Su Xiaoshu kept standing in place and looking at Lin Xiaozhu, and did not lean in front of Zhou Jiaoxi. At this time, seeing Lin Xiaozhu going to the first class, she glanced at Yuan Tianye and followed him.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuchun called out from behind: "Su Xiaoshu, wait for me." "And followed. And Wu Caiyun originally enrolled in the fourth class, but for some reason, Zhou Jiaoxi was reluctant to ask her. She looked at Yuan Tianye, who was staring at Lin Xiaozhu, and then at Wu Pingqiang, who was standing in front of Niu Jiaoxi, hesitated for a moment, and quietly followed behind Zhou Yuchun.
And Ma Jiaoxi saw Lin Xiaozhu and a few people approaching, and said a little unhappily: "Our cooking class is not just a casual want to enter, and we have to pass the exam." Now, let's move on to the first item of the exam: tasting. Everyone come here, in groups of five, within the limited time, write down the taste you have tasted on the paper over there, and then write your name and give it to Yu Jiaoxi. β
