Chapter 125 Chapter 125 Seeking Justice for Students
Xu Yunfan was busy with his work, and without even looking up, he shook his head. "I'm not tired. Go eat some puffs, and then check on the fire in the kitchen."
If Xu Yunfan looked up, he would definitely see the tender affection in Qin Run's eyes when he looked at him, how focused and affectionate it was.
Perhaps only when you love someone deeply, will you subconsciously and inadvertently reveal such unconcealable love when looking at him.
"Okay." Qin Run looked deeply at the whorl of hair on Xu Yunfan's head, then stood up and walked into the main room.
Qin Run likes sweet things. For other people, they might get tired of cream after a few bites, but not Qin Run and Qin An. The three brothers could eat the Snow Meringue as a meal last time.
The puffs are filled with cream, and Xu Yunfan used plenty of ingredients when making the puff wrappers. Both the cream and the puff wrappers are equally delicious. When you take a bite, you will find them full of cream.
Qin Run ate six in one breath, then stopped and went to the kitchen to check the fire.
As a result, before he left the kitchen, a loud "bang" suddenly sounded in the front yard.
The sound was so loud that Qin Run was frightened.
Xu Yunfan is still in the front yard!
Realizing this, Qin Run didn't care about anything else and ran out. As soon as he arrived in the yard, he saw a burst of white smoke accompanied by a sweet fragrance filling the entire yard.
In the white smoke, Xu Yunfan didn't know what he was doing. He stepped on an object with one foot and held a toy he had specially customized from the blacksmith shop in his hand.
"Oh shit! This is quite powerful!" Xu Yunfan put down the old-fashioned popcorn machine, walked to the other end of the long bag, untied the rope, and reached in.
"Yunfan, what are you doing?" Seeing that Xu Yunfan was fine and could still walk, talk and squat, Qin Run's heart finally settled down.
He was almost scared to death just now. If something happened to Xu Yunfan, would he still be alive?
Why would Xu Yunfan do such a dangerous thing?
"I'm making popcorn." Seeing Qin Run's expression was off, Xu Yunfan pretended not to notice and handed the popcorn to him. He smiled as if to ask for credit and said, "I was just making this. Try it."
Qin Run: “…”
He was really dominated by Xu Yunfan.
As long as Xu Yunfan smiled at him, would he still be willing to lose his temper with others?
"Popcorn?" Qin Run ate one out of curiosity and was immediately delighted. "Yummy, Yunfan, this popcorn is delicious, sweet and crispy. What is it made of?"
Qin Run knew how to use the roast kiln. Every other day, he would ask Aunt Liu and others to kill dozens of ducks, roast them, and send them to the canteen and shops to sell. He could earn more than ten taels of silver a day just from the roast duck dish.
"It's the corn in our backyard! But this thing is a bit dangerous. It will explode if you are not careful. So, you can't use it when I'm not around." Xu Yunfan was worried that Qin Run was planning to use the popcorn machine, so he couldn't help but remind him.
Qin Run nodded and said, "Yunfan, we have a lot of corn at home. Can we use it all to make popcorn and sell it?"
If corn is sold separately, how much does a pound cost?
If it is made into food and sold, the price will be different.
"Sure, but there are other ways to eat popcorn. When the sweet potato candy is ready, put the popcorn in, mix it with the sweet potato candy, and then roll it into small balls. That's popcorn sweet potato candy. I saw the villagers make it when I went to the countryside. It was quite delicious."
Xu Yunfan had eaten it once. Although it was not the most delicious food, it was still a rare delicacy for a child who lacked sugar.
A small piece of sweet potato candy costs three cents, so popcorn sweet potato candy can be sold cheaper so that children can afford it.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Qin Run opened the long bag and saw that there was still a lot of popcorn inside that had not been poured out.
Xu Yunfan ran to the woodshed and took out a stack of sealed bags. "Quick, put the popcorn in. If it's not sealed well, it won't be crispy. I'll make a few more pots later."
The sealed bag that Xu Yunfan took out was very big, half a person's height. Xu Yunfan could fill a large bag with just two pots.
There were bang sounds coming from Xiao Qin's house one after another. At first, the workers in the greenhouse stood up and wanted to go and take a look, but someone said that Qin Run and the others were at home. If there was something wrong, Qin Run would have called for help long ago. Now that they didn't hear Qin Run calling, they thought there was nothing wrong, so they sat back and continued to work on their things.
After hearing the occasional bang bang bang sounds, the aunts and ladies got used to it. At five o'clock, Qin Run came over carrying two large bags of things.
"Auntie, auntie, you guys take a rest first and come over to eat something." Qin Run put down two large bags of popcorn and invited the Qin family members to come over to eat.
"Run'er, what were you and Xu doing at home? Why was there such a loud noise?" Aunt Liu asked curiously, "We were really scared at first."
Qin Run unsealed the bag and said, "Yun Fan is making popcorn, so the noise is a little loud. Auntie, Auntie, come here quickly. This popcorn is delicious. Try it."
"Hey, Run'er, why did you bring anything for us? It's too expensive." Aunt Fang and the others knew that the food at Xiao Qin's house sold very well and was never enough to sell.
Qin Run glanced at the pots and pans in the greenhouse and couldn't help but feel a little dazed. "Yun Fan made a lot of popcorn. Aunts and aunties have been working hard recently. It's not a big deal to treat you to some popcorn. This is too polite. Aunts and aunties, please don't be so polite."
After the shop opened, Qin Ersaozi and Qin Dayou's wife cooked rice noodles every day to sell, but a hundred kilograms of rice noodles were not enough to sell.
The broth for cooking noodles was boiled pot after pot, the marinated meat was used bucket after bucket, and the chili sauce was used can after can.
As there were fewer customers buying candy, Qin Dayou and Sun Mu took turns frying eggs in the backyard and were very busy all day.
Fortunately, it was clearly written outside the store that since the store was not big enough and the bowls and chopsticks were not fully prepared, if you wanted to eat, you could go home and get a bowl. As long as the customer brought a bowl, they would cook it.
Therefore, rice noodles and sweet potato noodles were almost in short supply. Aunt Liu and more than 20 other people knew about this. They usually worked until dark before going home, and came at dawn the next day.
It is hot in the summer, and it is dark at eight o'clock in the evening and light at five o'clock in the morning. By this calculation, Aunt Liu and her colleagues actually work for fifteen hours a day.
Xu Yunfan had advised them to go home and rest early, but these aunts were perfunctory. They kept talking for a while, and then again and again. Xu Yunfan asked them to go back at 6:30, but they said they would go back after doing it for one more time, and a while turned into an hour and a half.
Working fifteen hours a day would earn them twenty cents. Xu Yunfan discussed with Qin Run that they would bring back some food from the canteen every few days to reward everyone. The workers who cut down trees were also very tired recently, so Xu Yunfan planned to take some time to treat everyone to a meal.
Xu Yunfan had too many plans, so he was busy every day. Xu Yunfan, who was addicted to making popcorn, had no idea that the teacher of the two students from Fangjia Village had actually found people from Qingfeng Academy to find out about Xu Yunfan's background.
Ever since they were frightened by Xu Yunfan, the two students from Fangjia Village were often distracted while listening to the class. They were afraid that one day the teacher would suddenly tell them not to come the next day.
The two men were trembling with fear, walking on thin ice, so that they were distracted from time to time while listening to the class. Later, when the teacher questioned them, the two men omitted what they said and only said that the people of their Fangjia Village had offended Master Xu of Qingfeng Academy. Master Xu had said that no scholar would be born in their Fangjia Village. The two men were worried, so they were absent-minded and had no intention of listening to the class. It was not that they were disrespectful to the teacher.
Their teacher, Master Qian, also believed everything he heard and did not inquire about the truth of the matter at all. He went to Qingfeng Academy angrily based on the one-sided words of his students.
In Master Qian's view, as a teacher, one should teach and educate people and be a role model, instead of using one's status and power to easily ruin people's future.
When he accepted the two students into the school, he had inquired about their personalities. People in Fangjia Village said that these two students were extremely smart and clever since childhood... How bad could the students who were praised by every household in Fangjia Village be?
His students are so good, how dare Master Xu from Qingfeng Academy do this? Doesn't this ruin the reputation of their teacher?
Master Qian knew about this. Although he was a little worried that the other party was from Qingfeng Academy, he couldn't lose face if he didn't seek an explanation for his students.
Master Qian first went to Qingfeng Academy to find out who Master Xu was, and learned that Xu Yunfan only had classes in the morning, so he came the next morning.
The person who "happened" to receive Master Qian was Pei Feng.
When Pei Feng heard the word outside that a teacher was looking for Master Xu, he was still wondering which teacher would come to see Xu Yunfan. He asked a little more and found out that it was Master Qian who opened a private school and came to ask Xu Yunfan for an explanation on behalf of his students.
This is a good thing for Pei Feng. He has disliked Xu Yunfan for a long time.
Before he came, he dared to ignore Vice Dean Pei. Vice Dean Pei was even demoted because of him. Later, Xu Yunfan came, and he was also very arrogant. He didn't know how to be humble at all. He didn't even greet them, his seniors, and tried to please them. This guy was even more selfish. He even hid the blackboard he brought and refused to let them use it. How can such a selfish and narrow-minded person be worthy of being a teacher?
I heard that he plotted against the dean yesterday, and gave the dean a blackboard under the pretext of being generous. But in the end, what could they do with the blackboard without chalk?
Isn’t it just for viewing but not for use?
If Xu Yunfan was really generous and if he really meant it, he would have been sensible enough to bring the chalk himself instead of waiting for the dean to ask for it.
But Pei Feng and the others didn’t think about why?
Maybe in the eyes of Pei Feng and others, Xu Yunfan does have some abilities, but without Jiang Lanfang, this gold of his is still buried under the sand, and he has to worry about three meals a day, instead of having an enviable job like he does now, where he can receive a monthly salary of twenty taels, which is the highest salary for him. At the same time, by entering Qingfeng Academy, Xu Yunfan not only gets an enviable monthly salary, but also status.
Jiang Lanfang was a benefactor to him, and Xu Yunfan should repay this kindness.
But they didn't think about it. If Xu Yunfan was willing, he could sell the blackboard for a hundred taels. He gave Jiang Lanfang more than ten pieces at the first try. If he sold the blackboard for a hundred taels, that would be more than a thousand taels.
More than one thousand taels, how many months would it take Xu Yunfan to earn that?
Moreover, even if Xu Yunfan wanted to repay the kindness of his mentor, this was not the only way.
Why should Xu Yunfan give advantage to those who looked down on him and spoke ill of him behind his back just to repay Jiang Lanfang?
Young Master Xu is a very sharp-minded person. If anyone makes things difficult for him, he will definitely make things difficult for the other person as well.
Pei Feng just disliked Xu Yunfan. Now that Master Qian had come to his house, this matter could have been resolved between them. They could have brought Master Qian to the classroom where they worked, and if there were any problems, they could have called Xu Yunfan over and closed the door to deal with it. In this way, things wouldn't have gotten too big a deal, and Xu Yunfan wouldn't have been embarrassed. But Pei Feng refused to do that.
He felt that the opportunity to discredit Xu Yunfan had come. Perhaps, he could take this opportunity to teach Xu Yunfan, a young man who was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and did not take him, his senior, seriously, a lesson.
It's been a few days since he entered Qingfeng Academy, but this kid has never taken the initiative to greet them. It's really annoying.
Upon learning that Xu Yunfan had openly led villagers to other villages to beat people up, regardless of the reason, Pei Feng led Master Qian into the house while shouting angrily, "Such a young man, lacking maturity and stability, doing things on his own without considering the consequences, and always trying to show off his strength. Now, because Qingfeng Academy hired him as a master, he has become even more arrogant and proud. Now he is actually bullying others by taking advantage of his position. Isn't this a disgrace to Qingfeng Academy?"
Pei Feng said this with deep sorrow, as if he was concerned about the reputation of Qingfeng Academy.
Pei Feng's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was loud enough for the students who were quietly studying in several classrooms to hear clearly.
"Master Qian, don't worry. I will inform the dean about this matter and let him make the decision for you. Don't worry, our dean is the most fair and will definitely not protect Master Xu just because he is our master. You can rest assured about this."
Pei Feng said this with great righteousness, but in fact he just wanted to inform the students who were eavesdropping that Xu Yunfan was in trouble.
Master Qian was flattered by Master Pei's reception, and he answered Pei Feng obediently no matter what he asked.
Pei Feng asked, "Master Qian, you said that Master Xu from my academy not only led villagers to cause trouble in other villages, but also used his status to intimidate your two students, threatening to make it impossible for them to pass the imperial examinations? Is this true?"
Before Master Qian could reply that it was absolutely true, someone else replied for him.
"Yes, it's true." A frivolous voice came from the corner.
It turned out that some students saw that something was wrong and secretly ran to call Xu Yunfan over.
From this we can see that Xu Yunfan has a good relationship with people in Qingfeng Academy.
There is a reason why Xu Yunfan does well among his classmates at Qingfeng Academy.
Xu Yunfan's teaching method is novel, which is known to all teachers and students in the college. For this reason, some students have asked Xu Yunfan for advice or attended Xu Yunfan's classes. Xu Yunfan has expressed great welcome to this.
He rarely puts on airs as a teacher towards his students and is always very patient in answering their questions. Regardless of whether the students are in his class or not, he will patiently answer their questions.
Seeing Xu Yunfan coming, he was still calm and not ashamed but proud of it, which made Pei Feng even more angry.
"Xu Yunfan, you still have the nerve to admit this. Do you know what you've done? Do you know that by doing this, you're bringing shame to our academy, and to all the students and teachers in our academy?"
This is a bit far-fetched and exaggerated.
