Chapter 46 Why am I not on the list?
Shuer Academy, which usually had few people at the entrance, was now surrounded by a group of students. The surrounding merchants didn't know why, but they all stuck their heads out to watch the fun.
Lin Xi stood behind a group of students and saw many familiar faces, of course the most familiar one was Wang Xingan.
Wang Xing'an finally squeezed to the front of the crowd, stared at the posted list for a while, and then covered his mouth in disbelief.
Lin Xi looked at the scene in front of her as expected. She knew last night that Wang Xingan's name was not on the list. At that time, she deliberately teased Xiao Yongyan and said, "Could it be that because of what Wang Xingan said during the day, you deliberately didn't let him pass?"
Xiao Yongyan said righteously, then turned around and denied it, "How could it be, I never do such a thing, his level is really not good enough."
Wang Xing'an had always thought that he had a slam dunk as he passed the above exams, but who knew that he was not even on the list.
"How is this possible? How could I be missing?" Wang Xing'an murmured, finding it hard to accept.
However, other students were very disdainful of Wang Xing'an's reaction, saying, "Mr. Shuer only admitted 20 people, so it's normal that we can't pass the exam."
A distraught Wang Xing'an came out of the crowd with mixed feelings. He had boasted in the village before, even saying that he was only a short way away from becoming a scholar, and that he would soon become a disciple of Mr. Shuer.
Now he failed the exam. How is he going to explain it to others when he returns?
Just when he was at a loss, he looked up and saw Lin Xi in front of him. Why was this woman here? Wang Xing'an frowned.
However, now is not the time to pursue this issue, so Wang Xing'an chose to turn a blind eye and simply passed by Lin Xi.
Lin Xi naturally ignored him as well, pretending not to see Wang Xingan, and walked straight to the school gate and walked in with a swagger.
Most of the students around were paying attention to the list, and almost no one was paying attention to Lin Xi's movements.
Only Wang Xing'an, who had just passed by, looked back with reluctance, but happened to see Lin Xi entering the gate of Shuer Academy.
Lin Xi didn't know that Wang Xing'an saw all this, and walked to the study room as if he knew the way there.
"The students outside are almost surrounding the gate." Lin Xi said, "The students will be coming in a few days. Are your things ready?"
"It's ready, don't worry." Xiao Yongyan said.
Lin Xi thought for a moment and said, "You need someone to take care of you here. How about this? I'll ask Dai Lan'er to come over and help. It just so happens that her son is also studying here, so she should be willing to do so."
Lin Xi said so, but in fact he had already told Dai Lan'er about it, and now he was just informing Xiao Yongyan.
"By the way, do you know who I saw outside just now, Wang Xingan! You didn't even see how lost he looked." Lin Xi clicked his tongue, still savoring Wang Xingan's lonely expression.
Xiao Yongyan just thought it was funny. It was really easy to make Lin Xi happy.
"There is one more thing to do. Before the students come over, invite the Taoist priest to perform a ritual. The louder the better." Lin Xi suddenly thought, "I heard from the previous boss that many people know that someone died here. This will save the students from feeling burdened."
Xiao Yongyan did not comment on this proposal.
Although he felt that scholars should not believe too much in these supernatural theories, he could not control everyone's thoughts.
"It's up to you." Xiao Yongyan said.
"Okay, I'll go find someone tomorrow." Lin Xi said.
night.
Wang Xing'an returned home with a dejected look on his face. When Mrs. Wang saw that her beloved son was not in a good state, she hurriedly asked with concern, "Son, why do you look like this? Were you bullied?"
Wang Xingan shook his head and said, "I actually failed the exam for Shuer Academy."
Old Lady Wang immediately comforted her, "It's a big deal for you to pass the exam. The school in town is not good enough. I will send you to the school in the county. I'm sure you can pass the exam."
"But mother, do you know why I didn't pass the exam?" Wang Xing'an looked indignant, "It's all Lin Xi's fault!"
Lin Xi has now become the common enemy of the Wang family. Hearing her son say this, Grandma Wang was furious, "This little bitch has been making things difficult for us all day long!"
"I saw her enter Shuer Academy with my own eyes. She must have instigated Mr. Shuer to not accept me." Wang Xing'an said angrily.
"Son, you should rest well at home and don't get sick from anger. Mother will think of a way for you." Old Mrs. Wang said, her mind working rapidly.
This Lin Xi actually caused her son to be unable to go to school. She will never let this bitch go!
…
Soon, a new trend swept Fenghe Town, and the leader of this trend was Jinxiu Tower.
Everyone knows that Jinxiulou has recently obtained a new species. The fish body is golden, like a treasure from heaven, and it tastes so delicious that people want to eat it a second time after eating it once.
Hong Sheng adopted Lin Xi's suggestion and placed a huge water tank in the center of the hall and raised a few carps in it. The rare appearance of the golden carp instantly attracted everyone's attention, and they all expressed their desire to try it.
The bucket of fish that Lin Xi gave Hong Sheng was sold out in a blink of an eye. Hong Sheng didn't care about anything else and took people to Taoli Village to ask Lin Xi for fish at night, which scared her.
While Hong Sheng was negotiating the price with Lin Xi, the waiter from the restaurant was holding torches and fishing in Lin Xi's paddy fields.
To show their sincerity, they even helped harvest all the rice in Linxi's rice fields.
Overnight, Lin Xi sold most of the golden carp and earned ten taels of silver.
If Xiao Yongyan hadn't helped to stop him, Hong Sheng would have even wanted to buy all the fish left for breeding.
Jinxiu Tower caused such a big commotion that it couldn't be concealed at all.
Early the next morning, the news that the fish from Linxi's field was sold for ten taels of silver spread throughout Taoli Village.
While everyone admired Lin Xi, they were also secretly thinking: if Lin Xi could raise fish in the paddy field, then why couldn't they raise fish in their own paddy fields?
Soon, many families began to inquire privately about where to buy fish fry.
Here Linxi is making a lot of money by selling fish. At the same time, someone is helping to harvest the rice in the fields, which is really convenient.
Lin Xi looked at his experience points. He currently had 37 points. He should have had more, but he had used them all to exchange for a new batch of seedlings.
The new rice seedlings yield eight dan per mu, which is equivalent to more than eight hundred catties per mu.
Ten acres of land can only yield more than 8,000 kilograms of grain. Lin Xi suddenly felt that she had planted too much. She and Xiao Yongyan could not eat all the grain.
There is another problem. The harvested grain now needs to be processed. The rice husks and the rice inside need to be separated so that crystal white rice can be obtained.
The way of peeling the rice has been passed down from generation to generation in Taoli Village is to use pounding rice, which means using a big thick stick to beat it continuously until all the rice grains are pounded apart.
But this method was too troublesome, Lin Xi was not interested and opened the system mall.
