Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 251: You'll Have a Good Time in the Future

Shu Xiaoxiao pointed at the green sprouts on the potatoes and said as if it was a matter of course: "This thing is poisonous when it sprouts. Did you start to feel sick after eating it after it sprouted?"

Jin Laosan recalled, because it was edible food, they still took it very seriously, but the boat was humid, so they didn't care about sprouting or anything. But it seemed that their discomfort started with the appearance of the small green sprouts.

But a little sprout is poisonous? Jin Laosan looked at the potatoes covered with green sprouts in his hand and almost threw them away. He thought they were just like wheat, and it didn't matter if they had some sprouts. He didn't expect them to be poisonous.

"Do you want to sell them? I'll buy them all." Shu Xiaoxiao pointed to half a bag of potatoes on the ground.

"Isn't this poisonous?"

"Don't worry about it. I have my own uses. Do you want to sell it?"

"Sell! Sell! Sell!" the man next to him said quickly.

"We still have a bag here, do you want some, young master?" the man asked attentively. The boat was damp and the clods of earth had molded early, so he had a lot left. It seemed that they were destined to make a fortune!

"Everything!"

"Please pack them up and send them to me..." Shu Xiaoxiao was a little stuck. They came here on horseback. It was okay to bring some cumin, but they couldn't put such a big bag of potatoes on the horse! The carriage came earlier.

"Are you busy now? I'll pay you a little more money and you can send me to the Yuren Academy."

"By the way, what's the price?"

The two looked at each other, a little confused. They didn't know how to sell it!

It could be sold as food, but now it has sprouted and is poisonous. It seems that no price is right!

"Forget it. These things plus your shipping fee are fifty taels of silver. How do you feel about that?"

The two were stunned for a moment, then came to their senses immediately: "Okay, okay, Master, don't worry, we will definitely deliver it to the academy without any damage."

This was a huge profit. Although they were allowed to bring some things with them, they had no capital. Normally, they were lucky to earn one or two taels of silver per trip. Now they suddenly received fifty taels of silver. They brothers were lucky. With these fifty taels of silver, plus their previous savings, they could build a house and buy some good land when they returned. They would no longer have to live such a precarious life on the sea.

Jin Lao San looked around and found that no one was paying attention to this side, so he asked carefully: "Master, do you still want this thing?"

Because they had been vomiting and having diarrhea before, the person in charge was afraid that something might happen to them, so they were not allowed to unload the goods. They were afraid of getting in the way and were staying far away, so no one was paying attention to this place. This might be an opportunity for them brothers to make a fortune.

Shu Xiaoxiao observed this man and found him to be very honest and simple, but also seemed to have a tenacious character. Besides, she was an uncle after all, with many backers, so she was not afraid of being cheated.

"Yes, I will take as many as you have this year, and the price is the same."

Jin Laosan understood immediately that if they only wanted it this year, there would be quite a lot on the island. According to the price, they would make a fortune just by making two trips back and forth.

"If we can bring him back, where should we go to find the young master?"

Seeing the man preparing to do something big, Shu Xiaoxiao was delighted: "Just send them all to the academy, and say they're for Principal Chu. I'll give him a heads up in advance."

Looking at the man's worn clothes, Shu Xiaoxiao thought for a while: "I'm giving you an advance of fifty taels. Remember how many books you have this year, young master wants!" Next year, he wouldn't be able to use the seeds if he had them.

Jin Lao San's face was flushed: "Don't worry, Master, the quantity is guaranteed to satisfy you."

Shu Xiaoxiao watched the two brothers carefully place the potatoes on a straw-covered cart, and thought about all the potato-related delicacies. She felt so happy.

I insisted on walking around the entire pier to make sure there was nothing else, and finally I carried two big fish back. The academy should be almost done with the exams, so I went back and asked Chef Fang to make fish soup to honor my master. I just managed to escape the exam and go back to school. It was perfect!

After returning to the academy, they first found a warm and ventilated place to place the potatoes. Then Shu Xiaoxiao took the fish soup prepared by Chef Fang to show her filial piety to her master.

"Master, please smell the imperial chef's cooking. Isn't it delicious? I will prepare your three meals from now on." Facing her master whose mood was unclear, Shu Xiaoxiao had to take the initiative.

"What's the matter? Were you originally planning to enjoy delicious food and let your master eat coarse food?" Shanzhang Chu moved his nose. This smelled good.

"Master, look at what you said. It doesn't matter what a disciple eats. The main thing is to honor the master. Look, Chef Fang has prepared it. I brought it to you the first time. I haven't had time to drink it yet." Shu Xiaoxiao lifted the lid and served a bowl of milky white fish soup to the master with a respectful look on her face.

Shanzhang Chu took the delicious fish soup slowly, tasted it slowly, glanced at the soup again, and saw that there was still a lot of soup left. Then he said, "Then drink a bowl first. I'm afraid you won't have time to eat."

Shu Xiaoxiao listened to her master's instructions and quickly served herself a bowl, a little surprised: "Is there anything else? I'm already busy, how come I don't have time to drink fish soup?"

"Don't worry, Master. I brought a lot just to drink with you."

After tasting it again, he sighed, "Master, you know what, Fang Yu's cooking skills are really good. Not only does it not have any fishy smell, but it is also very fresh and fragrant. We will have a great time in the future."

"Yes, I'm done. You still have things to do. Finish your drink quickly. The food on the table is yours." Director Chu said, pointing at the table.

"Master! You also gave me something. You are too polite. As a disciple, it is my duty to obey you." Although she said so, Shu Xiaoxiao still held the fish soup and walked briskly to the desk.

Seeing the things, Shu Xiaoxiao's originally relaxed expression immediately became solemn. She forced a smile and turned back to say, "Master...Master, why do I feel a little dizzy?"

"You are talking nonsense. How can you be dazzled at such a young age? The test papers on the table are what I asked your teachers for. I supervised and graded them myself, and the scores were also recorded in the students' usual grades. You should do well in the test and don't let me down."

Shu Xiaoxiao couldn't laugh anymore.

Master Chu happily instructed his young disciple to serve him another bowl of fish soup, which he tasted happily. He thought that what his young disciple said was right, the cooking skills of this imperial chef were really good, and he would have a good time in the future!

Humph, you little brat, you still want to be petty in front of him, haven’t you heard that old ginger is wiser?

Looking at her master's bright smile, Shu Xiaoxiao sighed. Sure enough, the smile would not disappear, it would only transfer from her face to her master's face. This was really a sad story.
