Chapter 117 Entrance Test
In the next two months, Du Shaojie took on three more banquets, which he still hosted alone.
Unconsciously, Du Shaojie's reputation had spread, and he had a good reputation. One person recommended another, and he no longer needed to rely on Liao Yongxin to get work.
It's quite interesting to say, before, he went to the leather factory to host a wedding banquet for someone, and the hostess disliked his young age. However, that wedding banquet received unanimous praise, and the woman's attitude took a 180-degree turn.
Look, one of the three banquets he took recently was recommended by the hostess.
Taking stock of his gains, Du Shaojie felt very happy. Not only did he earn another 240 yuan, he also felt that his cooking skills were gradually improving.
[Bound chef: Du Shaojie]
[Level: Level 3 chef]
[Current works: (Dry-fried fish, big plate chicken), (Sweet and sour pork tenderloin, sweet and sour carp, Dongpo elbow, beef stew, Kung Pao chicken, fish-flavored pork shreds, osmanthus meat, stir-fried kidney and liver)]
[Overall evaluation: above, below, medium] [
Bonus: Simulated chef skills competition duration (440 hours)
] [Reward: Exchange points (44 points), simulated training duration (440 hours)]
[Special reward: None]
[Exchange points: 156 points\156 points]
[Duration: 1090 hours\5256 hours]
In the past two months, Du Shaojie spent 800 hours on simulation training, and there are 210 hours left. After three wedding banquets, he has increased his duration by 880 hours, and the remaining time has returned to four digits again.
And the cumulative duration has reached 5256 hours, what is the concept? For example, a chef works 8 hours a day, and a year is calculated as 300 days. Du Shaojie has spent more than two years on cooking training.
Some of this time is spent participating in the simulated chef skills competition. The principle is the same.
In addition, another dish [Big Plate Chicken] received a comprehensive evaluation of "up and down", which is definitely a good phenomenon, indicating that his cooking skills are steadily improving.
During this period, there was another big event at home.
Du Xiaomei and Du Xiaoya are both in graduation season. Every day when they return home, Du Shaojie urges his two sisters to study seriously. Fortunately, they are also working hard. In this exam, Du Xiaoya ranked first in the whole grade, and Du Xiaomei ranked fifth in the whole grade.
Du Shaojie has been having a headache these two days. He wants both sisters to go to No. 1 Middle School in the city.
But now even the college entrance examination has not been officially resumed. The principle of admission is generally to enroll in the nearest school. If you want to go to a good school, you have to rely on connections.
"Master Liao, do you have any acquaintances in the education system?"
Du Shaojie thought about it and asked Liao Yongxin at lunch that day.
Of course, if the other party has no way, he plans to ask Qi Yan's parents. In short, he just bumped around everywhere, and tried his best to see if there was any result.
"I really don't know him. Oh, it would be great if Director Luo didn't leave. It's just a small matter that he said. By the way, Director Cai hasn't left yet. Why don't you find time to ask her?"
Liao Yongxin was alone here, his wife and children were all in his hometown, and he really had nothing to do with the education system.
However, he came up with an idea and asked Du Shaojie to ask Cai Jing. After all, the other party knew a lot of people, and maybe there was a way.
Du Shaojie nodded and said no more.
He actually wanted to go find Cai Jing before, but she was about to go south, so he didn't dare to disturb her.
After work in the evening, he went to buy two fruits and went to Qi Yan and Liang Meiqin's homes respectively.
The excuse was of course that he had been busy for a while after returning to the city, and he happened to be a little free recently, so he came to visit their homes. Of course, this little trick can't be hidden from others. In the end, he still had to ask if the other party could help, right?
People didn't mind, but when they heard that Du Shaojie wanted to send both sisters to No. 1 Middle School, Qi's father and mother said there was nothing they could do. Liang's father was the same, only Liang Meiqin's mother hesitated.
"Shaojie, I have met the principal of No. 1 Middle School a few times, but we are not very familiar with each other. How about this, I know where Principal Mao lives, and I will take you to his house later?"
This kind of relationship is actually very distant, at most you can just enter the door and drink a cup of tea.
But Du Shaojie still wanted to give it a try, after all, his two sisters had good grades, otherwise he would not have the face to ask for help. He was different from Su Dapeng, he firmly believed that studying could change destiny, especially for a family like theirs.
If you want to get into a good university, the middle school stage is crucial, and bad schools are completely incomparable to good schools.
Getting into a university is equivalent to getting a stable job, and college students will still be assigned by the state for more than ten years. This is actually a good destination for girls.
Du Shaojie immediately expressed his gratitude, made an appointment to go to Principal Mao's house, and then got up to say goodbye.
"This kid is good, he is very smart, he will definitely have a bright future."
After Du Shaojie left, Liang's father said with a smile.
"Alas, Shaojie's father died early, and he is the only one who takes care of the family. It's really not easy. If you can help, then help. If you really can't do it, then we will do our best."
Liang's mother was very emotional. She had a very good impression of Du Shaojie, so she was willing to help.
You know, she actually only knew Principal Mao, and it would take courage for her to visit him rashly.
Saturday.
Du Shaojie prepared two [Dezhou Braised Chicken], some fruits, and ten boxes of royal jelly in advance. After work in the evening, he carried these things and walked into the family compound of No. 1 Middle School with Liang's mother.
This family compound is also a bungalow. After turning around, Liang's mother knocked on the door of Principal Mao's house.
Later, Principal Mao came out to open the door. Seeing Liang Meiqin's mother, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "You are a rare guest, please come in."
After saying that, he glanced at the bag in Du Shaojie's hand calmly, and frowned slightly. However, he didn't say anything, but politely let the two into the house.
The host and the guest sat down, and Principal Mao poured two cups of tea and placed them in front of the two.
Then, Principal Mao chatted with Liang's mother about the education system for a while, and then changed the subject and said, "I guess you two came here today for something?"
Du Shaojie had hardly said a word before, except for greeting Principal Mao.
At this time, he had to speak: "Principal Mao, please forgive me for disturbing you! I have two sisters, one is going to high school this year, and the other is going to junior high school this year. I want them to study in No. 1 Middle School. I wonder what conditions are required?"
After listening, Principal Mao pondered, then tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers, and then looked at Liang's mother.
Seeing a hint of blame in the other's eyes, Liang's mother suddenly felt a little hot on her face, and hurriedly explained:
"Xiao Du's family situation is quite special. His father sacrificed his life to protect collective property a few years ago, his mother is seriously ill, and there are two young sisters to support."
Liang's mother briefly talked about Du Shaojie's family situation, and then emphasized that she brought people here not to take the back door, but because the two girls' academic performance is really good.
Principal Mao's face eased and asked: "Xiao Du, can you tell me the specific results of your sisters' graduation exams this year?"
Du Shaojie felt that there was a chance, and quickly took out the transcripts he had prepared in advance.
Principal Mao took it and looked at it, then smiled and said, "The grades are good, both of them are qualified to enter our school. In this way, the junior high school and high school departments will organize an entrance test for this situation. Don't forget it when the time comes."
After he finished speaking, he took the transcript to the inner room and wrote two letters, then walked out and handed them to Du Shaojie.
It wrote the basic information of Du Xiaomei and Du Xiaoya, as well as their agreement to participate in the entrance test. The test time is 10 am on July 16th, and there is a handwritten signature of Principal Mao in the lower right corner of the letter.
"Principal Mao, thank you so much! I will definitely take them to participate in the test on time."
Du Shaojie was overjoyed. In fact, the entrance test is just a process. As long as there is no trick in the entrance examination results, you can definitely enter No. 1 Middle School if you perform normally.
The current No. 1 Middle School is still a five-year integrated middle school, with the junior high school and high school departments together. Unlike later generations, the current school system is five years of elementary school, three years of junior high school, and two years of high school.
Liang's mother also laughed. Although it was a bit embarrassing when she first entered the door today, the final result was good.
She also expressed her gratitude to Principal Mao, and then said goodbye: "Then we won't bother you any more, you should go to bed early."
Du Shaojie put the things he was carrying at his feet when he entered the door. There was no need to deliberately tell others at this time. He stood up and walked out.
"Xiao Du, take your things away. I don't like this here."
Principal Mao was a little unhappy. He hated things like backdoors the most. In his opinion, entertaining and giving gifts were all unhealthy trends. He didn't want anyone to bring this trend to the school.
"Principal Mao, there's nothing, just some fruits and royal jelly. These two [Dezhou Braised Chickens] were made by me personally. I didn't spend any money at all."
It's not fashionable to give money for doing things now. If you dare to give it, others dare not accept it.
But interpersonal relationships still exist objectively. It's normal to bring some things when asking for help. I didn't expect Principal Mao to be so serious.
Du Shaojie was a little embarrassed and quickly explained.
"You're talking nonsense! Take it away, take it all away."
Principal Mao got angry and really didn't give any face.
Du Shaojie smiled awkwardly, turned around and prepared to get the things. He thought: "Isn't it okay for me to take it all away? I'm afraid of you."
"Old Mao, why are you angry again? There are guests here, and we are making fun of you."
At this time, a middle-aged woman came out from the inner room. The other party wore a pair of glasses, and her temperament was elegant and gentle. At first glance, she was a well-educated person.
When Principal Mao saw his wife, a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "If you are not feeling well
, just rest more. What are you doing out?" "I may be too tired these two days. I have a poor appetite. It's not a big problem. Why do I always lie down? You two, our old Mao is a straightforward person and doesn't talk much. Don't be surprised."
"No, no, Principal Mao has helped me a lot."
Du Shaojie laughed, and the atmosphere in the room eased.
