"That depends on where you plan to build your kang."

Zhang Youling took Zhou Xiang to see her house and asked her for her opinion.

After reading it, Zhou Xiang said, "You can only heat the kang, not the stove. Mine is in the pot room, so it is convenient to cook with multiple stoves."

Zhang Youling nodded. The kang in this room can only be used for heating. It would be ugly to have multiple stoves.

Zhou wanted to point out to her where the kang was, where the chimney was, and where the fire hole was.

He also drew the blueprints of the smoke plug board and the fire port cover for her, and asked her to find a blacksmith to make them herself, and then estimated the materials based on the size of the kang.

After Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran left, Zhang Youling told Li Gengxue about what happened at Zhou's house.

Li Gengxue also felt that it was a good thing that Zhou Xiang did not skip grades at the moment, and that it would be better to lay a solid foundation.

When Zhou thought of home, it was already dark. This time, his father didn't say anything.

After washing up after dinner, Zhou Xiang quickly entered the space to review and consolidate what he had learned today, and to ask questions that made no sense.

Then find questions from those college textbooks and copy them down.

Because I have learned this knowledge, when I look through college books again, I won’t feel like I’m reading a foreign language.

I read the textbook again from the beginning and wrote down any new problems I found.

The next day, I went to Principal Li's house again and brought two notebooks.

Because Zhang Youling told Zhou Xiang not to prepare breakfast and to come over directly to eat, Zhou Xiang did not make breakfast at home.

When Ling Ran and I arrived at Principal Li's house, Zhang Youling was struggling with the dough. Li Shipeng saw Zhou Xiang and happily shouted, "Zhou Xiang, come and help me! My mom doesn't know how to make that pancake."

Zhou Xiang looked at the crooked dough, washed his hands, and took the rolling pin from Zhang Youling.

"Principal Zhang, let me do it!"

Zhang Youling had no choice but to step aside and said, "Then I'll stir-fry the potatoes first."

Li Shipeng refused, "Mom, just make porridge. You've never stir-fried shredded potatoes."

Zhang Youling wanted to beat this son who had betrayed his mother to death.

Zhou Xiang laughed, "Okay, Principal Zhang, you cook the porridge first, and then heat the pot on the stove on low heat."

Zhou Xiang sprinkled salt on the crooked dough, rolled it with salt, added oil, picked up the dough and greased it until the front of the dough was covered with oil, then cut the dough into four pieces, stacked them up, and folded them into four pieces.

Sprinkle dry flour on the panel, gently roll out the dough until it is about two centimeters thick, put it into the heated stove and cover it with a lid.

The one burning the fire at the stove was Ling Ran. He was already familiar with what Zhou Xiang said the fire would look like.

Zhang Youling watched Zhou Xiang's skillful movements intently, and she could tell at a glance that he was a child who often did housework.

When Zhou Xiang was making the second one, Zhang Youling planned to try it herself. Zhou Xiang stepped aside, watched her movements and guided her.

Although I had to roll the noodles into a square shape at the end, it was still a success.

Zhou wanted to turn the pancake over in the stove, then cut the potatoes into shreds and rinse them.

Zhang Youling took over the job of making pancakes, and Zhou wanted to tell her what color was considered cooked.

It was not until the last pancake that Zhang Youling rolled it into a round shape.

The pancakes were cooked, and Zhou Xiang started to stir-fry the shredded potatoes. He poured oil into a hot pan, removed the Sichuan peppercorns, and stir-fried them until fragrant. Then he removed the Sichuan peppercorns and added dried chilies.

Stir-fry until fragrant, pour in shredded potatoes, stir-fry for a few times, add soy sauce and salt, stir-fry a few more times, and serve.

"I've figured it out. It's mainly about stir-frying the Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilies." Zhang Youling was learning from the side again.

"Yes, the first layer is Sichuan peppercorns, and the second layer is dried chili peppers. I don't like the numbing taste of Sichuan peppercorns, so I took them out. If you're not afraid of Sichuan peppercorns, you can leave them in the pot."

Zhang Youling nodded. She wanted to cook delicious food this week, which was also related to the fact that she cooked a lot.

Li Shipeng ate too much for breakfast again, so he obediently went to wash the dishes to help digest the food.

When today's question was asked, Wang Yeqin had to think for a while before answering, and he even asked Zhou Xiang why he asked such a question.

It was not until the afternoon that the study turned into a discussion, with Wang Yeqin and Zhou Xiang reading and analyzing the questions together.

At the end of the evening, Wang Yeqin asked for Zhou Xiang's home address and said he would go to discuss the issue with her when he had the chance.

Zhang Youling was a little reluctant to leave Zhou Xiang. In just two days, she had fallen in love with this hardworking, studious, generous and cheerful girl.

Ling Ran was laughing secretly all the way. The little girl learned almost all the knowledge that others had learned in four years of college in just two days.

That's because she met the nerd Wang Yeqin. If it were anyone else, they would be devastated. Who else could be like Wang Yeqin and plan to discuss knowledge with the little girl in the future?

Principal Li also found the right person, he was wholeheartedly thinking of Zhou.

Zhou Xiang looked at the smiling Ling Ran, not knowing what he was so happy about.

Anyway, he and I are not the same kind of people, and we don’t think the same way, so I don’t care and I won’t ask.

Only after Zhou Xiang entered the courtyard did Ling Ran say goodbye and go home.

Looking at his son who came home after dark, Ling's father asked him what he had been doing for the past two days. He replied calmly, "I went to tutoring with Xiangxiang."

"Didn't you say you wanted to get full marks? What kind of make-up class is that?" Ling's father didn't understand.

"Haha, to learn more advanced knowledge, of course you need a tutor."

Seeing that his son was unwilling to elaborate, he stopped asking and set the table for dinner.

Zhou Xiang added a lot of broken honeycomb coal into the new stove in the evening. He would start braising food tomorrow, so he needed a high fire.

After the kang is clean and dry, move the mattress and quilt over and sleep on it at night to test the effect.

After Zhou's mother finished washing up, she helped her daughter make the bed, then took out the seventy yuan and told her about the Ma Gua.

Zhou Xiang pushed his mother's hand away. "You should keep this money. He deserves it. Without my blueprints, he wouldn't have made so much money. After deducting the money I paid for the fourteen kangs, he still has more than six hundred yuan left. He said he would take his brother and younger brother with him, and each of the three of them would get two hundred yuan. All this was lost because of my blueprints, so this money is what I deserve."

After hearing her daughter's analysis, Zhou's mother no longer felt the money was hot and put it back into her pocket. "You said you were fine when you didn't have money before, but now I have more than 300 yuan in my hand. Why do I feel uneasy every night when I sleep? I always feel that it's not safe no matter where I put it."

"Well, that's what happens to people who suddenly become rich. Tomorrow, go save the whole amount. Wouldn't it be easier to just hide a passbook?"

"Yes, it's safer to deposit it in the bank."

"But the passbook doesn't have a name on it, so you have to keep it safe."

Zhou's mother went to sleep peacefully, but Zhou Xiang thought that he should leave some money outside as a cover, so he looked everywhere for a place to hide the money.

Finally, he fixed his eyes on the beams, searched in the space, and finally poured out the high-end biscuits he bought during his second trip to the city.
