Chapter 252

This time, Jiang Ning gave away the Mingqian tea, just like the wolfberry and water chestnut rice he gave away before. He also gave away the tea to all the professors, teachers, directors, and counselors in his department, as well as the teachers and professors he attended classes with. The reason he gave was that the tea leaves from his tea fields were ripe, and if they tasted good, he would recommend it to others by saying "it's Wugong tea from Wugong Mountain."

Jiang Ning's words were very polite. You would say she was trying to curry favor with the teachers and professors, right? She even gave gifts to teachers and professors whose classes she attended without having to take exams. These people don't need her to flatter them, right? There is absolutely no need for that. Besides, she has already said that her village is rich in tea, and all the tea is produced by her own tea fields. It's just that the tea is not famous enough, so she wanted to give it to teachers and professors, just because the professors liked it after drinking it, so she helped spread the word.

Therefore, everyone believed that she sent tea and local specialties just to promote the local specialties of her hometown, and no one suspected whether Jiang Ning had other intentions.

Jiang Ning was already famous among teachers and students. Her repeated gift of local specialties to teachers and professors made these teachers remember Jiang Ning's name. Every time they drank tea or soaked wolfberries in the teacup, they would think of Jiang Ning. Not only that, they thought of what Jiang Ning said, that the wolfberries in her hometown were planted and produced under the guidance of experts and professors from the local Agricultural Bureau and Agricultural University, without any additives. Some professors, out of professional habit, saw on the promotional page of Wugong Tea that it was written that the content of amino acids and other nutrients in Wugong Tea was about 15% to 20% higher than that of other green teas, so they actually took the Wugong Tea and wolfberries sent by Jiang Ning for testing.

People of their status and position had no shortage of tea, so they took the green tea they drank for testing. The results showed that the level was not 20% higher, but it was definitely 11% to 15% higher. There were indeed no other additives in wolfberries. After the results came out, the teachers and professors who had done the tests certainly would not hide the secret, but would talk about it with the teachers and professors they were close to. As a result, later on, when the teachers and their relatives wanted to drink tea and wolfberries, the first thing they thought of was the "Wugong Tea" and wolfberries from Jiang Ning's hometown.

Because you can drink it with confidence and peace of mind.

This news soon spread to students in the School of Mathematics and the School of Physics. Soon, the students discovered that the teachers had all started to drink green tea with wolfberries. Those who were well-informed knew that the green tea and wolfberries were sent by Jiang Ning from the Department of Mathematics and Economics of the School of Mathematics.

When Cui Yujie heard this, she rolled her eyes and cursed, "You're a flatterer."

But she became conflicted when looking at the pearl powder Jiang Ning gave her.

There was no online shopping in that era, and buying other pearl powders was not as convenient as it would be ten years later. Even if she wanted to look for it in the mall, she couldn't buy pearl powder where pearls were sold.

She wanted to try it on her roommate's face first to see if there was any poison in the pearl powder.

But the people in her dormitory were all marginal figures from various departments who were not very popular. Each of them had a strong personality and ignored her at all.

She had no choice but to try it on her own hands first. She observed for twenty minutes and after washing her hands, she found that there was no redness or swelling on her hands. Then she carefully mixed the pearl powder with egg white, milk and lemon juice, and applied it to her face. While applying it, she waited in fear, fearing that her face would be burned.

After waiting for 20 minutes, I washed off the pearl powder paste on my face, looked left and right in the mirror, and criticized for a long time. I saw that my skin was indeed more hydrated and clear after the mask. Then I muttered, "It doesn't work at all!"

Next time, apply it on your face.

During the two months she lived with Jiang Ning, she actually discovered that although Jiang Ning was not easy to bully, his character was still acceptable. Otherwise, she would not have dared to use the things Jiang Ning gave her. Now, looking at this bag of pearl powder, she felt that Jiang Ning was quite broad-minded.

She has actually been practicing writing.

Originally, he wanted to be a famous writer with tens of millions of sales like Jiang Ning, and have his works adapted into movies and TV series. He submitted his works with great confidence, but every manuscript he submitted was ignored.

She didn't believe it, so she submitted her work to lower-level newspapers and magazines, but it still didn't work. She started to doubt herself and began to submit her work to school magazines founded by major literary societies in the school.

Her latest submission is titled "Ning Meng in My Eyes".

The manuscript was actually published in the school magazine.

In the article, she claims to be a student of the School of Mathematics and has had long-term close contact with Ning Meng. ['Ning Meng' was able to be admitted to the School of Mathematics of Peking University, which is full of geniuses, in her second year of high school. Her IQ is outstanding. But can 'Ning Meng', who has mathematical thinking, also have emotional thinking and write works such as "I was a Constable in the Song Dynasty", "I was the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard", "The Years I Was a White Snake Cultivating Immortality" and "I Driving a Mech in the Stars" which have sold tens of millions of copies?

As we all know, the biggest controversy about 'Ning Meng' on the Internet is that during her participation in CMO and IMO, her works were still serialized at a stable rate of more than 20,000 words per week. This is used to judge that 'Ning Meng' is not a person, but a team. For this reason, the author himself has also observed for a long time...'】

Then, Cui Yujie listed Jiang Ning’s weekly schedule in the article.

The courses in the schedule are very full. [From the schedule, we can see that when Ning Meng was a freshman, she was already taking sophomore and junior courses, and she also audited many courses in other departments. Except for eating and sleeping time, every day she is either in class or on the way to class. I don’t deny that she is serious and hardworking in her studies. After all, this is the daily life of every student in our School of Mathematics. But apart from such a tight schedule, where does she squeeze out the time to complete the weekly writing task of more than 20,000 words? 】

This class schedule might be difficult to obtain for others, but for Cui Yujie, who once lived in the same dormitory and had a good memory, it was not difficult to obtain.

This article contains many compliments for Jiang Ning, such as the recognition of her admission to the School of Mathematics of Peking University in her second year of high school, and her diligence and hard work in arranging her weekly courses.

But between the lines, every word is saying: "Ningmeng" wrote it for me!

As mentioned earlier, Kyoto University has more than one literary society. In addition to the official May Fourth Literary Society, there are many literary societies founded by students themselves, and each has its own literary society journal.

Because Cui Yujie was arrogant by nature, she looked down on the private societies established by students themselves, so she submitted her manuscript to the school magazine founded by the May Fourth Literary Society.

Although the vice president of the May Fourth Literary Society has lost weight and has been punished and retired, some of the members who once made friends with and followed him are still in the society. What kind of manuscripts does the society like to read the most? In addition to the truly talented works, there are also works that are topical and controversial.

When they first received this work, they thought of the former vice president of the literature club who was given a serious warning, and hesitated for a moment whether to put it in the school magazine. After reading the manuscript, Lei Tianhua, the president of the literature club who had been admitted to graduate school, couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry about publishing it, it's okay." He smiled and said, "The person who wrote this manuscript must be someone close to her. The whole article is praising Ning Meng, without saying a bad word about Ning Meng, and there is not even a clear word saying that Ning Meng wrote it for her, but every word says that Ning Meng wrote it for her. She is a talent."

In fact, Lei Tianhua had no conflict of interest with Jiang Ning, nor did he have any ill feelings towards Jiang Ning. He even admired this junior sister. However, as the president of the literature club, Lei Tianhua knew very well that due to some historical reasons, the truly talented people in the literature club had all gone to private societies. The sales volume and influence of private societies' journals were getting higher and higher in Peking University. Even other schools preferred the journals of any private literature societies rather than the school journals of their official literature societies.

This makes the influence of the school magazine published by their literary club very embarrassing.

When seeing the manuscript titled "The Warm Breeze of Spring", the sensitivity of the literature club president Lei Tianhua suddenly became aroused. He had a hunch that this issue of the school magazine would definitely be a big hit.

The result was just as he expected. "Ningmeng" has become the symbol of traffic in this era. This article really caused heated discussions in the school and even in surrounding schools.

Zhang Min was the first to discover this manuscript. When she saw it, she was furious and quickly took it back to show Jiang Ning: "It must have been written by Cui Yujie! What's the name of it, 'The Warm Breeze of Spring'? I think it should be more like 'The Evil Wind of Winter'. Ugh!"

"That's right." Yu Qianqian was also filled with righteous indignation.

Jiang Ning took it and read it, his expression was calm, and he said with a smile: "Isn't this a good compliment?"

The praise was indeed very good. There was not a single word scolding Jiang Ning in the whole article. It was all praise, praising her for her intelligence, hard work, diligence and hard work.

"You can still laugh, aren't you angry at all?" Zhang Min was almost mad to death.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Didn't they dare to say anything directly?"

The whole article is full of hints, and Jiang Ning really can't do anything to the other party because of this. Even in the previous life, various tabloids and magazines made up some words like "it is said", "it is understood", "I heard", etc. Even if you know that they are making up stories, you can't do anything about them.

Besides, there is not a single sentence in this article that curses her.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Okay, don't be angry. Why bother getting angry over irrelevant people?"

Jiang Ning didn't react, but Cui Yujie seemed to have suddenly discovered the password to the manuscript's past publication.

The password is, as long as it contains the name 'Ningmeng', you can basically pass.

Then she started writing the second manuscript.

She really wanted to write some bad things about Jiang Ning, but Jiang Ning was still in school, and the precedent between the vice president and herself was still there. The vice president would graduate in a year, and she herself still had two and a half years.

So she can't just write this manuscript casually.

So, she could only write like this: [As everyone knows, Ning Meng was born in a rural area in the south. She was a golden phoenix that flew out of their mountain valley. The honors she won in high school were all around the wall of her high school. Attached picture]

A lot of information about Jiang Ning has been dug up or revealed by netizens and is known to the public on the Internet, including all the honors she won in high school. It was like a PK between No. 1 Middle School and Wuzhong Middle School, with banners hung on the gatehouses of their respective campuses for a year. No. 1 Middle School put banners with all the awards Jiang Ning won in No. 1 Middle School around the courtyard wall. This has also become a major anecdote for Ning Meng herself and No. 1 Middle School.

[I actually didn't like her very much. A girl from such a small place, she and I seemed to be from two different worlds. But because of the college entrance examination, we met in the crowd.

She was still so pretty. 】

She wrote "Ning Meng" about practicing sports: [From the day she entered Peking University, she got up at 5:40 every day, washed up simply, and went downstairs to run, ten laps every day, without fail.

She was such a good runner, but at the sports meet, she refused the long-distance running event arranged by the school. 】

Thinking about how good she was at running and how she had signed her up for so many sports that she was good at, but she had refused and even made her bear the brunt of the consequences, Cui Yujie felt chest tightness and shortness of breath again.

She really wanted to write about Jiang Ning's experience and let her classmates judge it, but she didn't dare to write it. If she did, wouldn't people know at a glance that it was her?

She tried to hold back, but still couldn't help writing:

[Just when I thought she would never participate in the sports meet, she signed herself up for the sprint. During her first practice, she ran faster and better than those students with sports expertise. She was soon pulled over by the hurdles group teachers of the school's sports department to practice hurdles. In last year's autumn sports meet, she made her debut for the first time and competed with many students with sports expertise, and came in second in the school. 】

Writing this makes me really angry!

She could only write in a frustrated and sarcastic tone: [It is said that when God opens a door for you, he will also close a window for you. I really want to know which window God closed for her.

Oh, I see, it might be the window of 'literature'.

That's not right. Her path in literature is clearly "a broad and long road to heaven". 】

After writing this paragraph, who doesn’t know who this ‘warm spring breeze’ is? This style of praising and scolding!

When Zhang Min saw this part, she almost died of laughter and immediately shared it with her roommates.

Liu Yan also found it very funny when she saw it.

Zhang Min said firmly: "If Cui Yujie hadn't written this, my last name wouldn't be Zhang!"

It's not that Cui Yujie didn't want to write about Jiang Ning's bad points. Firstly, she didn't dare to write about it. Secondly, as she was writing, she recalled the time she and Jiang Ning spent together in the same dormitory, and recalled all the bad things Jiang Ning had done. There wasn't a single bad thing. She was really nitpicking and couldn't find any bad things about Jiang Ning.

Apart from the fact that Jiang Ning asked the school to record her offense, it was all her own fault.

Cui Yujie: (╥﹏╥)

So she tried hard to write bad things about Jiang Ning, and every bad word seemed to be praising her. The feeling of love and hate came directly to her through her words.

In the first episode, Zhang Min was still angry, and when she saw Cui Yujie, she couldn't help but want to confront her face to face.

Two episodes later, Zhang Min and some other people from the School of Mathematics who knew Cui Yujie couldn't help but look strange when they saw Cui Yujie.

Someone even ran to ask Cui Yujie: "Yujie, have you read this issue of the school magazine?"

Cui Yujie couldn't help but look at her with a sidelong glance, expressionless: "I saw it, what's wrong?"

The person who asked her pointed to the article in the school magazine and asked her, "Do you know who wrote this article?"

Cui Yujie immediately reacted like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She said with anger: "How should I know? It wasn't written by me anyway!"

Then his reaction became even more intense, almost jumping up: "Why are you looking at me like that? You don't think I wrote it, do you?"

"I said I didn't write it!"

"Hmph!" After saying that, she turned around and ran away angrily with the book in her arms.

Yu Qianqian looked at her fleeing figure and couldn't help but ask privately, "Tell me...was this written by Cui Yujie?"

When they read the first and second chapters, they almost assumed that the "warm breeze of spring" was Cui Yujie, but after reading the rest, they felt that it was not the case.

Zhang Min looked at Yu Qianqian with a smile: "Qianqian, are you stupid?"

Yu Qianqian, who had been a study committee member since childhood, was called "stupid" for the first time and didn't know what she had said wrong.

After that, she observed other classmates to see if they could be the "Warm Breeze of Spring". After observing them, she found that the people in their School of Mathematics rarely paid attention to others. They were basically focused on studying. Moreover, there were very few people who knew Jiang Ning so well and had such mixed feelings of love and hate for her!

But every subsequent issue has a work called "The Warm Breeze of Spring", and every issue is about "Ning Meng".

Cui Yujie found that if she wrote anything else, her manuscript would not be accepted. Only if she wrote "Ning Meng" could her manuscript be accepted. What kind of suffering is this in the world?

Lei Tianhua, president of the literature club, wanted to approve Cui Yujie's manuscript, but after reading her other manuscripts, he found them even more false and empty than his. They were not even dreamlike. What was she writing about? We can only call back.

It's not that no one has tried to imitate 'The Warm Breeze of Spring' and write 'Nine Meng', but the 'Nine Meng' written by others is always a little bit lacking, either purely negative or purely positive. No matter it is purely negative or purely positive, it cannot be as vivid and detailed as 'The Warm Breeze of Spring'. It is obvious that it is written by people who have had close contact with 'Nine Meng' and have a certain understanding of her. Unlike what others write, their 'Nine Meng' is an imaginary 'Nine Meng'.

It is precisely because of this authenticity that the readers are so excited and the sales of the school magazine published by the literary society have repeatedly surpassed those of the magazines published by private societies.

The journals founded by folk societies are still too "literary". Not everyone likes to read elegant "literature and art". Many people just like to read this kind of vulgar love, hate, and vengeance, especially celebrity gossip. Who can resist that?

It is obvious that "Spring Warm Breeze" has a love-hate relationship with Ningmeng.

Through the work "Warm Breeze of Spring", readers saw a more vivid and real "Ning Meng".

Early March to early April is the picking season for Mingqian tea. The end of picking Mingqian tea does not mean the end of tea picking. In fact, the tea picking work is the real beginning after Qingming. After Qingming, the rain becomes abundant and the tea trees quickly enter a rapid growth period. If the newly grown tea leaves are not picked in time, they will soon grow bigger and bigger and become old leaves.

Therefore, from then on, in the surrounding areas centered on Shuibu Town, all the men and women who had free time and were not working went to Linhe Brigade to pick tea and plant wolfberries.

This year, more families are planting wolfberries. Many families who have land on the hillside have planted wolfberries on their own land under the guidance of experts.

As most of the young and middle-aged people in the village have gone out to work, the village is short of manpower and has recruited many nearby villagers to grow wolfberries and build dams and leisure villas. Many villagers said that it would be better to come to learn skills than to grow wolfberries.

Jiang Guotai has always been generous in his work. He already had a general idea of ​​Jiang Ning's ambitions, and did not forbid these villagers from learning from him. He gave them a salary that was slightly higher than what they would get if they went out to work or pick tea leaves, and also provided food and accommodation.

Because Linhe Brigade has not yet entered the tourist season at this time, the entire Linhe Brigade is still under development and construction, and there are many vacant houses for them to stay in.

However, the development and construction of Linhe Brigade quickly spread to the surrounding towns through the words of those who came here to work and pick tea, and made the surrounding towns aware of it.

There is an island on the riverside in Linhe Brigade. There is an artificial beach on the island, which is specially for children to play. There are also many amusement facilities on it. It is so fun that those who built the island in the past praised it to the sky.

A cement road has also been built on the embankment of Linhe Brigade. On the left bank of the embankment is a patch of tender lotus leaves, and on the right bank are growing water chestnuts and water caltrop vines. A one-meter-wide cobblestone road has also been built on both sides of the embankment. It is said that walking on the cobblestone road in socks can massage the soles of your feet, which is good for your body.

He also praised how delicious the food cooked by Linhe Brigade was, and said that the toilets in Linhe Brigade were better and cleaner than those in many other people's buildings.

This made many people who had heard of Linhe Brigade want to visit it. Therefore, during the May Day holiday, Linhe Brigade in Shuibu Town, Wucheng welcomed the first peak of tourists.

In fact, as early as last year when the entire Wucheng, Yaoba Town and Linhe Brigade were in full swing in construction, the mayors of Douba Town, Liuba Town and Shuibu Town who went to the county for meetings began to change after seeing the large number of tourists in these places, which brought a significant increase in the county's fiscal revenue last year.

Not to mention other places, the first place is Shuibu Town.

Shuibu Town is a transportation hub connecting neighboring cities, Wucheng, and the provincial capital. It is an important transportation route with well-developed water and land transportation. It has a dense flow of people. While the town is prosperous, it also brings some bad things, such as dirty and messy streets.

Because various vehicles have been dispersed from the intersection to all places for a long time, this section of the road at the intersection has been severely damaged, with potholes and no repairs for many years. It's okay when it doesn't rain, but when it rains, the road is almost unwalkable, as it's wet and dirty.

Especially last year, a large number of tourists flocked to the Linhe Brigade in Shuibu Town from surrounding towns. While creating benefits for the economy of Shuibu Town, it also exposed the shortcomings that have always existed in Shuibu Town but have never been improved.

Since last winter, Shuibu Town has begun to renovate and widen the five-mile-long asphalt road at the central intersection of the street.

Originally, the asphalt road at the intersection was a provincial highway, and the road was wide. However, because it was a scattered transportation hub, the front, back, left and right of the intersection were filled with cars going to various places, resulting in the only road in the middle that could actually accommodate two cars at a time. In addition, many villagers from the surrounding areas came here with their loads on their shoulders to set up stalls, and they specifically set up stalls at this intersection with a heavy flow of people, making the road even more crowded.

After renovation and widening this year, not only was the original yellow mud and gravel road of about 20 to 30 meters in front of the shop widened into a road, but the location and method of setting up stalls were also standardized. From the original casual setting up of stalls by putting down a load and pulling out a small stool, it was standardized to a fixed stall in the center, with a monthly rent of 50 yuan, and an antique wooden stall frame provided for vendors to set up stalls. As for the farmers carrying loads on their shoulders in the village below, they can also set up stalls for free, but they cannot set up stalls in the central location where congestion is likely to occur, but can only be set up outside the paid stalls on the four sides.

This not only generates revenue for the town government, but also protects the interests of stall owners who pay to rent stalls for a long time, and provides a fixed place for the villagers to buy and sell their agricultural products.

When Yaoba Town began to actively develop the tourism economy last year, Douba Town and Liuba Town also began to actively develop the towns under their jurisdiction.

The three towns of Wucheng are closely surrounding Wucheng, but their locations are different.

Douba Town is located between Wucheng and Wujiang City. When going from Wucheng to Wujiang City, you will inevitably pass through Douba Town. It takes more than 25 minutes from Douba Town to Wucheng, and only 35 minutes from Douba Town to Wujiang City. Because of its good location, there are many factories in Douba Town, making it an important tax-collecting town in Wucheng.

Liuba Town is located on the bank of the Yangtze River. It has developed water transportation and a wharf in the town. In the past many years, the entire town of Liuba relied on this wharf for their livelihood. The town was extremely prosperous and was once the first of the "Three Dams of Wucheng". Most of the famous wealthy people in Wucheng came from Liuba Town, which was far from comparable to Douba Town and Yaoba Town.

It was only in the past decade or so that the development of the industrial economy enabled Douba Town to catch up, but the foundation and wealthy people of Liuba Town still made Liuba Town very well developed. Yaoba Town can be said to be the third of the "Three Bullies of Wucheng" and the worst developed one.

But in just the past year, Yaoba Town actually began to show a trend of catching up. How could the two big brothers, Douba Town and Liuba Town, not be nervous and frightened?

Liuba Town is also an ancient town with a history of about 1,700 years. The town has a well-developed water system and transportation, and is quaint, but it does not have a river surface like Yaoba Town. It can raise fish, but not crayfish, crabs, pearls and the like. The two anxious mayors were scratching their heads. For a moment, they really couldn't think of any effective way to change the current predicament and snatch the tourists from Yaoba Town and Shuibu Town. They could only watch batches of tourists enter Wucheng and then pour into Shuibu Town and Yaoba Town during the May Day holiday this year.
