Early the next morning, Qin Mo came to the dining room early.

Last night, he missed the meal because of his calligraphy, and was deliberately made difficult by Yan Xu, who had been in the pit, so that he couldn't eat dinner, but fortunately, there was still some millet porridge to satisfy his stomach.

Seeing him coming from a distance, Yan Xu threw out a roll of his eyes.

Although the dead fat man has figured out the reason why he was pitted, he doesn't dare to put this matter on the table, after all, he is just a gang leader, and it is against the rules of the school to collect money to open a small stove for students in private, and it will not do him any benefit if he pokes it out.

But this did not affect him to secretly take revenge on Qin Mo, last night he had already explained to a few of his cooks, as long as Qin Mo came to receive the meal, he must follow a principle - give him the worst food!

So don't look at Qin Mo's early arrival, he didn't take any advantage, the steamed buns are as hard as stones, it seems that there are several days left, and throwing them out can smash the dog on his head;

Rice porridge can be used as a mirror, although he is very satisfied with his appearance, and does not mind narcissism at the reflection in the bowl for a while, but the thought of not being able to fill his stomach inevitably makes people feel completely unhappy;

A bowl of white water stew is cabbage gangs in addition to radish, plus a few pieces of unformed slag tofu.

He was very angry, nibbling on the hard steamed bun while thinking about how to get revenge on the dead fat man.

After breakfast, the students went to class.

When Li Hao saw Qin Mo, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and then he began to lecture.

Today, I still talk about [single word for soldiers], a total of four words, all of which belong to pictographs, which are the four characters of boom, town, earthquake, and break.

Originally, he didn't plan to talk about the word "boom", because there were too many strokes in this word, and the knot was more complicated, but because Qin Mo had already completed the [Single Word Soldier] with this word yesterday, he took it out and explained it in advance.

He used four types of calligraphy as demonstrations, namely European style, Chu style, Yan style and Liu style, which correspond to the four masters of Tang Kai.

Tang Kai advocates the law, every stroke is exquisite, and after the students master this way of writing, they will teach everyone to advocate the artistic conception of Song Kai.

Learning from yesterday's lesson, Li Hao asked everyone to practice in the courtyard.

Xu Chengzhi glanced at Qin Mo with his residual light, snorted lightly in his nose, picked up the brush first, dipped it in ink and began to write.

He wrote the word "broken", using his best European style, and after the last stroke, the handwriting flashed, and then turned into a white mist, fluttering to the center of the courtyard, and exploded when it rose to a height of three meters.

Boom!

Li Hao nodded and said: "This character is well written, and if you can comprehend the mystery of [single word for soldier] the next day, Xu Chengzhi can be a model for all sentient beings." ”

Xu Chengzhi's face was full of excitement, and he waved at Mr. "Mr. Xie, the student, praised." ”

Then, he aimed at Qin Mo with a provocative gaze.

Qin Mo didn't intend to be in the limelight, but Xu Chengzhi's behavior aroused his competitive spirit, compared with the Zhao character he mastered yesterday, the word Xu Chengzhi wrote just now could only be regarded as a big fart.

He stepped forward, picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, and added some Zhao Ti's brushwork based on the willow style, and wrote the word "broken" stroke by stroke.

The handwriting turned into a cloud of white gas and flew forward, gradually showing a texture similar to that of a stone, and everyone's eyes widened, including Mr. Li Hao.

Bang!

There was a loud bang, and the surrounding students felt a cold wave of qi rushing towards their faces, and to their surprise, the "stone" did not disappear, but was smaller than the original.

Bang!

After the second explosion, the "stone" disappeared, bringing a wave of air that was even better than before.

"Breaking the word double!" Li Hao sighed excitedly and said: "Under normal circumstances, only Xiucai can do it, and Qin Mo should be a model for all beings." ”

When he praised Cheng Zhi just now, he used the word "can", which is only one word different from dangwei, but the meaning is completely different, which can be described as a world of difference.

Broken, the representative of the pictographs, the original meaning is the cracking of the surface of the stone, the stone is textured, divided into multiple layers, each peeling off a layer of stone skin is called broken, so a stone can be broken more than several times.

A high-level calligrapher can break the word with two rings, or even three rings, but at least to achieve the talent and humanistic level, Qin Mo is just a new child, which is not easy.

For a while, he became the focus of attention of all beings, Xu Chengzhi's hateful teeth itched, and the limelight was snatched away again.

The remaining 20 or so students came forward to write one after another, and very few of them were able to reach [single word into soldiers], accounting for only 20% of the total.

Despite this, Li Hao is still very happy, in his opinion, this year's new children are much stronger than in the past, and the leaders are naturally Qin Mo and Xu Chengzhi.

He believes that with the comprehension of these two people, they will be able to pass the government examination in a short time and take another step towards the Xiucai position.

For lunch, Qin Mo still ate the worst portion, Yan Xu stood aside and sneered, not to mention how comfortable he was.

There is no way to go on like this, Qin Mo had an idea, stood up and walked towards Yan Xu.

Yan Xu was a little flustered, thinking that he was coming to look for trouble, but he quickly calmed down, and his heart said that he had his cousin Yan Ming as a backer, how can you dare to take me as a little boy?

"Guy Yan, student Qin Mo has a request, please agree. "Qin Moli is full of numbers.

Yan Xu looked at him with small eyes and snorted: "What are the requirements, you can say it!" But the head of this gang wants to remind you that I will not agree to anything that does not meet the regulations of the academy. ”

Qin Mo expected him to say this, and said with a smile: "I live in Tingquan Caolu, it takes more than ten miles to go back and forth, it is really inconvenient to come to the dining room for dinner, can I take the ingredients away and cook by myself over there, so I won't trouble Guy Yan and you to prepare meals for me." ”

Yan Xu's small eyes rolled, of course his heart is not good, in that case, how can I fix you!

He was just about to say no, when a voice sounded: "Of course!"

Yan Xu turned around and saw that it was his cousin Yan Ming.

Yan Ming had a smile on his face and said, "Since Qin Shuangjia spoke, we have no reason to refuse, otherwise it would be like this, your three meals a day will be solved in the grass house, and I will ask Gang Leader Yan to settle the ingredients for you for half a month at one time, how about it?"

Qin Mo frowned slightly, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Yan Ming glanced at Yan Xu, and the dead fat man turned back to the two subordinates and said, "Why are you still stunned, didn't you hear the words of the elder She, hurry up and prepare a month's worth of food for Qin Shuangjia." ”

After a while, several men bagged rice, millet, flour, some vegetables, and dried meat in front of him.

Qin Mo lifted it up and tried the amount, the grain was about twenty catties, and the vegetables and dried meat added up to nearly ten catties, so it would not be a problem to take it back with his own physique.

Looking at his departing back, Yan Xu leaned over to his cousin and asked cautiously, "Why do you have to agree, so how can I fix him?"

Yan Ming sneered: "What do you know, listen to me! Wait until the twelfth day, send him the ingredients for the second half of the month, remember, you have to send them in advance every time, you can't wait for him to come and ask for it, you know?"

"Got it. Yan Xu looked confused, but nodded obediently.

Yan Ming's purpose was very simple, to use cooking to further squeeze Qin Mo's time.

Imagine that people who live in a noisy environment have to worry about three meals a day every day, and no matter how good they are, they will be dragged into mediocrity.

You must know that cooking is not only about having food, but also about pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

Just chopping wood is enough for one person to work.

It turned out that Qin Mo thought about this matter simply, it was true that the grass house had a kitchen, but there was nothing but a broken stove and a rusty iron pot.

Firewood is easy to solve, there is a forest not far away, just picking up dry firewood on the ground can burn for a while.

However, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, the so-called seven things to open the door, only the first two things have been solved, and the rest have to go to the county seat to buy.

In the middle of the afternoon, he returned to Tingquan Caolu with a bunch of things, and there was no problem with all the matters related to eating, but the problem was that the money in his pocket was spent.

The Great Song Dynasty, which has been peaceful for more than 150 years, has developed a lot of economy, which has led to rising prices.

Practicing calligraphy requires pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, which is a big expense, but I don't have anything to grow, and I don't have a skill, where can I get money?

I really hope that there is a person who has been set to kiss the baby, and the other party sees that his family is in the middle of the road, so he intends to repent of the marriage, and double the bride price sent back that year, plus a few silver taels of compensation for the loss......

It's not scientific, it's all written like this in the novel, when it's my turn for Mao, I can't even meet the worst divorce stalk.

Putting down his things, he took out the bluestone slab and walked to the river.

"Ga ......"

He had just written a word when he heard a strange sound from behind him, like a crow being punched in the stomach when it opened its mouth to bark, which was hard to hear.

Then there was the sound of clanging footsteps, and he looked back, and a middle-aged man in disheveled clothes walked over, carrying an ochre-colored gourd in his hand, and shook it three times.

The middle-aged man has a handsome old face, with deep eye sockets and dark eye circles, and his body is hollowed out by wine at first glance.

Qin Mo frowned slightly, Wendao Academy belongs to a forbidden place, and it is claimed that outsiders and dogs are not allowed to enter, how did this thing get in?

"Boy, are you Qin Mo and Qin Shuangjia?" the uncle asked in a throat like a broken gong.

Yo he, do you know the master, who came for me?

He put down the brush and bluestone slab, stood up and said, "That's right, I'm Qin Mo." ”

The uncle blinked his eyes, which had not yet awakened, looked him up and down, shook his head and said, "It's nothing special, it looks ordinary." ”

Qin Mo was furious, no one could tolerate an old drunkard judging himself, even if he looked like Uncle Xiubo!

He said very politely: "What qualifications do you have to talk about me, let me ask you first, what are your skills?"

The uncle's eyes suddenly opened, and he had a confused expression.

Qin Mo smiled: "You yourself are useless, and you are embarrassed to judge others......"

"You don't have to pay for visiting the Qinglou, is it a kind of ability?" the uncle suddenly interrupted him and looked at him with very sincere eyes.

Qin Mo's eyes widened, except for the smell of wine spewed out by his uncle, he smelled a strong fragrance, indicating that this guy had just crawled out of the pile of fat powder.

Your sister, of course, it is a skill to visit the kiln without spending money, a kind of ability to make men in the world embarrassed.

It seems that there are still benefits to being handsome, Qin Mo thinks that his appearance is no less than the uncle in front of him, he can get free of charge for such an old bacon, and a little fresh meat like ours should be more popular.

At this time, the uncle's unsteady feet caused his body to tremble, and a pink purse slipped out of the pocket of his coat, and the purse was embroidered with lotus flowers.

The purse fell to the ground with the crisp sound of silver ingots colliding.

The uncle glanced down and said to himself, "Whose purse? I remember that I didn't bring any money when I went to the county seat, so which girl forced it into me?"

Qin Mo's eyes were about to burst into flames, your sister, it doesn't cost money to drink flowers and wine to sleep with a girl, there are still people looking for money, what kind of world, I want to represent the moon...... Confiscate this purse!
