Chapter 82 Going to the Provincial Examination
As the day of the provincial examination was approaching, An Xin had people asking around to see if there was anywhere selling beef.
In ancient times, cattle were not livestock that could be slaughtered casually. Only seriously injured or sick cattle could be slaughtered after being reported to the government and approved.
Having not been able to buy beef for a long time, An Xin was wondering whether he should try using other meats instead.
That day, Liu Boxing was seen coming to the academy, followed by Liu's servants carrying in dozens of kilograms of beef.
An Xin asked in surprise: "Where did you come from?"
Liu Boxing: "Last time An Rui came to visit me, I heard that you, the young head, wanted to buy some beef, so I asked my grandfather to send someone to the government office.
I asked the person in charge of slaughtering cattle and got the news today, so I sent it to you."
An Xin looked at the fresh beef happily and asked Mingyue to bring the Liu family's servants to carry the beef into the kitchen.
Then he said to Liu Boxing: "I was worried that you would have to stay in the examination room for several days to take the provincial examination. If you don't eat well, you will definitely be exhausted.
Now, with this beef, it's easier to talk."
Liu Boxing was surprised: "I heard that the headmaster has been looking for beef everywhere recently. It turns out it's for us."
Leng Xiangbai and An Rui, who had just walked in, also looked at An Xin, who was obviously very happy to get the beef.
Leng Xiangbai: It turns out that my home is a small hill.
An Rui: Cousin.
"!!!"
I bought beef for them. I am so touched.
"What else?" An Xin answered as a matter of course.
It's not like she has to eat beef, or it's so hard to buy. If she didn't know that several students love meat, why would she go through the trouble of asking around?
An Xin: "During the provincial examination, the food served was usually cold. To prevent getting an upset stomach, most students would choose to bring their own small stoves to cook.
It is best for you to learn from me during this period. I don’t expect you to learn a lot, but at least you should learn how to cook porridge.
I will make some meat jerky and beef jerky at that time. You can take them in and put them in the porridge, or just take them out and eat them when you are hungry.
At least it can help you get through the days of the provincial examination, so that you won’t be too hungry to finish the exam.”
"Cousin, you're so nice." An Rui was so happy to hear that An Xin had considered so much for them that he went up to hug her arm.
"Get out of the way, you greedy guy!" An Xin ruthlessly looked down on him, patted his forehead and pushed him aside.
Liu Boxing loves meat more than anyone else. If his little headmistress wasn't a girl, he would excitedly rush up to give her a big hug.
Finally, I can only say: "You are so kind, Xiaoshan."
An Xin glanced at him and said, "You are also a foodie."
Liu Boxing blushed and scratched the back of his head.
“……”The young headmaster still had some understanding of him.
Leng Xiangbai's cold eyes turned gentle at this moment. He just looked at An Rui and Liu Boxing quietly, playing with An Xin, with a faint smile on his face.
An Xin did everything personally, from marinating the beef to cooking it and drying it in the sun, for fear that anything might go wrong and a few students would get sick from eating it.
Meat jerky is not as durable as beef jerky, so An Xin only made some to share with them, and also sent some to Mr. Su and General Liu who had resigned from office and retired.
When General Liu, who had fought in the war, saw the beef jerky, his eyes lit up. He put a piece in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Finally, he sighed regretfully: "But beef is too scarce, this kind of beef jerky is not easy to spoil, and it is also convenient for soldiers to carry with them.
If it can be produced in large quantities, soldiers can eat such beef jerky to replenish their physical strength during long battles.
There will also be no foreign enemies attacking every winter, and we will not be trapped in a bitter battle due to insufficient food supply. "
Although General Liu has resigned from office for many years, he is a former military general after all, and he still cares about the soldiers.
He looked at the beef jerky and shook his head with regret.
August 8th of the lunar calendar is the day for the provincial examination.
This time, An Xin learned from the lesson of not being able to find an inn during the last college entrance examination, and sent the six of them to the provincial capital early.
She didn't plan to go with him this time.
At this moment, facing six pairs of sharp eyes staring at her, An Xin subconsciously took a step back, "You...you want to rebel!"
Li Ziyu sat lazily on the chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if he was not among the people who had glared at him just now.
The eyes, as cold as the bright white moon, also became indifferent when they were lowered.
Zhu Shijing leaned against the desk and picked up a topaz seal to play with it.
His injury had long been recovered and he was now full of energy again, glaring at Jiang Zhou who was ready to start a fight.
After An Xin showed his white fist, he wisely shut his mouth.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"……"Don't be fooled by its small size; it's really powerful enough to hit someone.
An Xin looked proudly at Liu Boxing and An Rui who were silent, and raised her head proudly.
"I can't cure you guys anymore."
Although the six people were a little unhappy when they left, they were still concerned that the person sent by the academy to lead the team was Uncle An, so they pursed their lips and said nothing.
When seeing them off, An Xin looked at the resentful faces and patted his forehead helplessly.
Is she teaching a few students or raising a son? Why does the scene look so incongruous?
After sending away the six clingy people, An Xin relaxed and suddenly thought that he seemed to have forgotten to find a chance to punish those two bastards, Zhao Kui and Liu Mingjie, who instigated Kun Guangcai and stabbed Jiang Zhou last winter.
An Xin touched his chin. There were too many things to do and he forgot about it for a moment.
But it seemed like it was never too late to punish them, so I just let the matter go.
Uncle An took six people to take the provincial examination. An Xin took over his class and taught the four little ones.
Even though Wanhua Academy now has more students, Uncle An, like An Xin, has not added any students to his class.
Jiang Hao, Wen Yucheng, Zeng Xuezhi, and Ma Xiuzhu, four teenagers aged thirteen or fourteen, all stayed in Wanhua Academy to study because of their poor family conditions.
This is what they feel most fortunate about now.
When the other new students saw An Xin personally teaching them, they were filled with indescribable envy, jealousy and hatred.
They all wondered why it was not their own teacher who accompanied their fellow students to take the provincial examination. Maybe the dean would teach them.
In the days that followed, An Xin would also take time to give lectures in various classes. After all, the knowledge stored in her mind was not just the knowledge of a great scholar.
Every time she taught a class, the students admired this female headmaster even more.
That day, An Xin came to a classroom full of students to give a lecture. She skillfully simplified the originally difficult knowledge.
It also makes the abstract and conceptual content more vivid and concrete, making it easier and more profound for students to understand.
It makes the knowledge that originally sounded very hypnotic become exciting.
"I am so lucky to be able to listen to such a profound yet easy to understand lecture."
"Brother Guo is right. Yu feels the same way."
Two handsome young men with bright eyes and white teeth, who looked extraordinary, couldn't help but sigh in admiration as they watched An Xin leave after class.
