Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty Nine: The food is served, the enrollment situation
Zhuo Zhou and the other two were shocked. Gong Mingxuan is a veteran of the three dynasties and must have a very high vision. How outstanding is Mrs. Liu to be able to get this evaluation?
Jiang Ye felt his mouth was dry and he quickly drank a cup of tea to suppress his shock.
Jin Fengling stuttered on the side and muttered, "Mr. Gong, when can we meet Mrs. Liu?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuo Zhou also looked at Gong Mingxuan.
Gong Mingxuan smiled helplessly, "I really don't know about this, but Mrs. Liu still wants to treat me. I think there is still a chance to meet, but I just don't know if I want me to go to the Liu Mansion or if Mrs. Liu would come here in person?"
Even though he said so, Gong Mingxuan felt that it was unrealistic for Yun Yue to go to the academy to treat her.
Zhuozhou and the other two had already guessed this.
After a while of silence, Gong Xu and Gong Zhan came over and asked, "Grandpa, three gentlemen, are you going to cook food?"
Jin Fengling, who was a little depressed, instantly looked like he was injected with chicken blood, staring at Gong Xu with bright eyes, and said hurriedly: "If you want it, hurry up!"
Gong Xu: "......" Isn't this person like they did not get into the water yesterday? Why does it feel like a starving ghost is reincarnated?
Gong Xu and Gong Zhan hurriedly brought the food box over, and the fragrance of the food lingered in the tip of everyone's noses, making people restless.
Jin Fengling couldn't wait for the beef. When he saw a bowl of beef sauce, he could no longer control himself. If it weren't for Gong Mingxuan's house, he would have pounced on him regardless.
Gong Xu said softly: "The three gentlemen brought a lot of beef, so we made several kinds of tricks. This is beef sauce. The sauce was brought from Jiangnan. It is similar to the beef sauce there. The taste is quite authentic. This is beef soup. It is the first time I have made it. I don't know if it matches the tastes of several gentlemen. There is also be beef stir-fried green vegetables. This taste should be pretty good."
The three hard dishes containing beef were full of weight, which made Jin Fengling and the other two satisfied.
Gong Xu was a little embarrassed, "The beef brought by the three gentlemen should be the portion of this day. Now they are all cooked. What should I have for dinner?"
Zhuo Zhou waved his hand and smiled carelessly, "It's okay, dinner is light."
"That's it!" Jiang Ye couldn't help but agree, his eyes never left the beef, and asked casually: "Does Xiao Xuer often eat beef sauce when she was in Jiangnan?"
Gong Xu's head was like a rattle, and he quickly denied: "No, the family's conditions are acceptable, but we can't be so luxurious. It's just a coincidence that I've eaten it two or three times. The sauces in Jiangnan are similar, so the taste should be similar to what I've made there."
Jin Fengling nodded, moved his index finger, picked up the chopsticks, and saw that no one moved, he put it down embarrassedly.
Gong Mingxuan saw that he probably knew what they were thinking, and he felt funny, but he didn't expose it.
The group enjoyed a beef lunch on Gong Mingxuan's side. Jin Fengling and Jiang Ye were suddenly subdued by Gong Xu. When they left, they kept selling Gong Xu, either because they had any good books or articles, and they kept bewitching Gong Xu to study.
Gong Xu was simple-minded and did not know the purpose of Jiang Ye and Jin Fengling. Gong Mingxuan could see it clearly, but he thought that Gong Xu could get their guidance, but he didn't stop him. Instead, he was happy to see it.
After the party here ended, Zhan Wenze also started to have lunch. Instead of gathering together, the group of people solved the problem in their own houses.
Zhan Wenze was surrounded by a book boy. After all, he was a tutor before. The servants around him had seen it on the market. It was not difficult to deal with a piece of beef, but Ji Yong and the others were annoyed. One was not able to do it, and the other was reluctant to do it. So he just made it into a meat soup with a small piece. It was just because it was beef, and it didn't taste very good in time. They also cherished it and ate it completely, but they couldn't figure out what kind of beef was delicious. I couldn't understand it!
The next day, Jingbei Academy officially recruited students and posted notices on both walls. Construction was underway on the north wall, and there were many people coming from all over the country. There were many people in the surrounding prefectures, and soon things spread. The scholars who were still watching before were shocked when they saw that the academy had invited so many famous scholars from Jiangnan.
Many people came to inquire about the news, most of whom came to these gentlemen, but were stunned by the academy's temperament. Then they were deeply fascinated by the environment inside, and they didn't want to leave when they came.
The manager in charge of enrollment looked at the students who had registered these days and laughed so hard that they could not see each other. He hurriedly went to Liu Mansion to invite him to the gift.
"Madam, most of the students who have been admitted after the college's official enrollment are from Ningzhou, Penang, Muzhou. Naturally, we also account for a lot of local students from Chaozhou. About 70% of students from the four prefectures account for 70%, and the remaining 30% come from other prefectures for various reasons." The manager said happily. Jingbei Academy has just been established. In order to recruit students, Yun Yue has given many ideas for the academy, such as Shuxie discounts. Everything in Jiangnan is expensive, and Chaozhou is cheap. In addition, there are several great scholars here. The poor students cannot afford Shuxie in Jiangnan, so they can only come to Jingbei Academy.
Yun Yue counted for a moment and narrowed her eyes happily, "It's only one month for the official admissions, and nearly one hundred students have already entered the school. The results are much better than I expected. When you go back later, you will post a new notice, saying that from now on, students who come to Jingbei Academy to enroll within two months can enjoy these preferential treatments. In two months, the admission conditions will be almost the same as those in the Jiangnan Academy."
When the manager heard this, his face froze and asked in disbelief: "Madam, are you saying that our collection of slaughter should be as much as that in Jiangnan?"
When the manager saw Yun Yue nodding, he felt that his eyes were dark. In this way, he would definitely not choose Jingbei Academy. After all, the reading atmosphere here is far less than that of Jiangnan, and his foundation is not enough! He has no competitiveness at all.
The manager wanted to persuade him, but listened to Yun Yue's remarks, "The foundation of Jingbei Academy is indeed not comparable to that of Jiangnan Academy, but don't forget who I am! As long as I am willing, some people will fill in Jingbei Academy's background, so you don't have to worry about this.
You also saw the teaching and living conditions in Jingbei Academy. Master Xue spent so much effort to build Jingbei Academy into this way. Do you think if I collect too little of this slap, would I be worthy of Master Xue?"
