Chapter 458 The old man is so capable
If he felt that he had a 70% chance of passing the imperial examination before, then after studying with Mr. Yun for more than half a year, he believed that he would have a 99% chance of passing and a 70% chance of winning the first place.
If you keep studying, you will surely become a Jinshi!
Before, he was not sure whether he could pass the imperial examination, but now it is different.
"Thank you, my lady! If it weren't for you yesterday, we wouldn't have gone there."
Shao Yunduan was grateful and emotional. If Qiao Xuan hadn't been curious and insisted, they really wouldn't have gone. After all, this matter sounded so ridiculous, who would take it seriously?
Who would have thought that it is actually a true story!
The old man is just so capable!
Qiao Xuan smiled brightly, looking at him with sparkling eyes, "Actually, I'm just curious. It's mainly because you are good enough, otherwise Mr. Yun wouldn't have accepted you as his apprentice! This is what we call a blessing in disguise. Humph, if Zhao Guanghua and the others knew, they would be so pissed off!"
Qiao Xuan wasn't entirely curious, she just felt that people with real talent often had strange tempers and behaved differently from ordinary people.
Anyway, you won't lose anything by going and taking a look, so why not go?
I didn't expect it to actually work.
Shao Yunduan smiled and said, "I still have to thank you. No wonder mother always praises you as a lucky star."
Qiao Xuan also laughed, feeling a little embarrassed.
Shao Yunduan added: "Mr. Yun only said that he was willing to teach me, but he didn't ask me to perform the ceremony of becoming his disciple."
In other words, people don't think highly of Shao Yunduan and are not willing to accept him as their disciple.
This aroused Qiao Xuan's competitive spirit. She felt a little unfair: "My husband is so good, but Mr. Yun is still picky! Good luck, my husband. One day Mr. Yun will take the initiative to ask to accept you as his disciple!"
Shao Yunduan smiled and nodded: "Okay!"
He thought so too.
Qiao Xuan then asked if Mr. Yun liked the gift that Shao Yunduan brought.
Shao Yunduan smiled, "Mr. Yun likes it very much, especially the salted duck eggs and dried radish. He also likes bacon and sausage. Hey, he likes all of them! At noon, he even asked the servants to steam the salted duck eggs and stir-fry the bacon with dried radish and garlic sprouts."
Qiao Xuan was very happy. "Next time you go, bring some food with you! Bring some every time from now on."
Shao Yunduan smiled and nodded.
These things are not expensive, but they are sincere.
Qiao Xuan was so happy that she said that they should celebrate in the evening and went into the kitchen to cook two dishes.
One dish is fried winter bamboo shoots with bacon, and the other is steamed mandarin fish with bacon.
Cut the bamboo shoots into slices of appropriate thickness and stir-fry them with bacon. The bamboo shoots absorb the excess oil from the bacon, and the fresh fragrance of the bamboo shoots and the salty fragrance of the bacon complement each other perfectly. Serve on a plate, garnish with some green chopped green onions, it is fragrant, shiny and attractive, and very pleasing to the eye.
The same dish always looks pleasing to the eye when cooked by Qiao Xuan.
The bacon slices are neatly arranged around the cut mandarin fish. After being steamed, the snow-white fish meat and the bright red and translucent bacon slices complement each other. The rising hot steam carries the fragrance into the air, making people salivate.
Qiao Xuan also enthusiastically stated that she would make clay pot rice for everyone at noon tomorrow.
There are several small stoves at home and four pots for making clay pot rice, which she had customized in the county town when she was making bacon.
If there is bacon but no clay pot rice, what a waste of bacon!
