Chapter 18 Generous Zhang Yu! (Third update, still asking for votes!)
When Zhang Heng was there, Xu Gongliang was calm, but as soon as Zhang Heng left, Xu Gongliang hurriedly urged shopkeeper Zhou: "Quickly, show me the secret method."
Zhou Guiping hurriedly gave the paper roll to Shuo Gongliang. Shuo Gongliang opened it and looked at it for a while, and said with some suspicion: "Can this thing really make white sugar as bright as snow?"
Although he knew that Zhang Heng could not lie to him, the secret method on the scroll was so unbelievable that he couldn't believe it.
"Yellow mud water decolorization method...is this really possible?"
Shopkeeper Zhou was also confused.
Zhuo Gongliang immediately made a decision: "There is brown sugar in the kitchen. Ask the chef to try it according to the method and you will know."
Shopkeeper Zhou quickly arranged for a chef. In order not to leak the secret, he even had the kitchen cleared out, leaving only the chef and the two of them.
The chef boiled a pot of brown sugar, then prepared a large bucket of yellow mud water, used a wine drain in the kitchen to place a flour sieve, put the brown sugar on top, and then poured the yellow mud water over his head as instructed.
Shuo Gongliang and Shopkeeper Zhou stared at the funnel nervously.
The yellow muddy water dripped through the sieve, and the submerged brown sugar on it gradually came out, but the red color had disappeared and was replaced by a small pile of white sugar as bright as snow!
The chef was stunned, but Yu Gongliang was filled with uncontrollable ecstasy. Shopkeeper Zhou pulled the chef aside and said: "This is the biggest secret of the Zeng family. If you dare to leak it, your whole family will die!"
The chef was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder burst. He quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master, I must keep my mouth shut and I will not talk nonsense. Please forgive me!"
Zhuo Gongliang said with a smile: "It's not that, it's not that. Get up, Guiping, and you can take care of the preparations for the establishment of the sugar mill. Lao Huang is the master of the sugar mill. It depends on how you treat him."
Chef Lao Huang was overjoyed when he heard that his life was safe and he was about to get a promotion and a salary increase. He was so excited that he kowtowed repeatedly.
Zhuo Gongliang and Zhou Guiping came to the study.
Zhou Guiping asked: "Ming Zhong, you promised so happily today, I didn't even have time to stop you. This Imperial College is not easy to enter. If it's just one person, it's easy to get one person in with your connections."
, but it might not be easy for three people, right?"
Before he was promoted to Zhi Zhi Gao, Xu Gongliang was the direct lecturer of the Imperial College, and he was an acquaintance with the Imperial Wine Supervisor Cheng. Now that he was promoted to Zhi Zhi Gao, he was a popular figure in front of the emperor. Of course, they wanted to give him face.
But give face to face, making a slight exception is not a big problem, but cramming three people in at once is not making an exception, but trampling on the rules.
Faced with Zhou Guiping's worries, Yu Gongliang smiled and said: "The Imperial College is not easy to get into, but the Imperial College is not easy to get into. The Imperial College only allows the children of officials above the seventh rank to study, but the Imperial College can recruit civilians."
Yes, wouldn’t it be great if we were to run the system to provide students with food and shelter within the house?”
Zhou Guiping slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Yeah, why didn't I think that you just promised them to enter the Imperial College, and Taixue is also an Imperial College. It is indeed not a broken promise, and you have become an internal student. This pair
For them, it's much better than being an auditor, so they won't complain."
Zhuo Gongliang smiled and nodded: "However, I will not treat them harshly. They will not teach them less. If they can have a Jinshi background in the future and enter the officialdom, I will naturally help them and find a job if they are in need.
, isn’t it better than giving money?
Moreover, if they are capable, I will not spare any effort. After all, they are my disciples, and I will definitely help them if they are given the opportunity."
Zhou Guiping praised: "The brothers are so lucky. They are so lucky to have such a responsible teacher like you."
Xu Gongliang was also quite proud of himself.
…
Zhang Heng returned home, and Zhang Quzhangshu was rolling out dough to make pancakes. When he saw him coming back, everyone looked forward to it.
Zhang Heng smiled and said, "It's finally done."
Zhang Jun and Zhang Shu immediately burst into cheers.
Zhang Jun said excitedly: "That's great. If you can enter the Imperial Academy, then the second brother and the third brother will be more likely to pass the imperial examination. That's great!"
Zhang Shu also said happily: "Yes, the Imperial College is a Chinese school after all, and there are famous teachers in it. If you can't pass the Jinshi exam even if you study here, then let's not think too much about it and just make egg cakes."
Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Brother is wrong."
Zhang Jun suddenly said nervously: "What do you mean? Zeng Zhigao only promised to accept one?"
Zhang Shu also looked at Zhang Heng nervously.
Zhang Heng shook his head and held out three fingers: "Three, the teacher agrees to accept the three of us brothers, and is also willing to recommend us to enter the Imperial College. However, it should not be the Imperial College, but the Imperial College under the Imperial College."
Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment: "I...I...I was also accepted?"
Zhang Heng nodded and said with a smile: "We three brothers, how could it be possible that only the eldest brother is left behind? The eldest brother led us to survive in the past, and he will lead us to improve academically together in the future. In the future, we will be admitted to the Jinshi together. Our Zhang family , I want a three-level Jinshi!"
Zhang Jun couldn't help but shed tears after listening to Zhang Heng's words. He nodded repeatedly, but choked up when he spoke: "Yeah! Yeah! We want to make progress together in our studies, and we want to be a three-level Jinshi!"
The next day, when the three brothers of the Zhang family were looking forward to it, Zhou Guiping came to their door and delivered them the admission letter of Taipei students, which was like a ray of light lighting up the sky for the three brothers of the Zhang family.
Zhang Jun seemed to be living in a dream.
A few months ago, they were still worrying about having enough to eat in a remote village. But just a few months later, they came to the city of the emperor. Not only did they have a business where they could eat and drink without worrying about food, but they also had a knowledgeable person. He was appointed as a teacher and received a letter of admission from Imperial College...
Everything is like in a dream.
Late that night, while Zhang Heng was sleeping deeply, he was suddenly awakened by a strange laughter. He recognized that it was his eldest brother Zhang's room. Zhang Heng rushed over to take a look and couldn't help but laugh.
...Zhang Jun laughed in his dream.
The next day, while Zhang Heng was still sleeping, Zhang Jun had already gotten up and was busy. He went to Daxiangguo Temple to sell rice cakes alone. When the sun rose high, Zhang Jun came back. As soon as he came back, he called Zhang Shu and Zhang Heng together. .
"We will be entering school soon. Our clothes are really too shabby. We might be laughed at if we go to Taixue. Also, we are going to the teacher's house tomorrow to apprentice, so we have to dress neatly so as not to lose the teacher's face. ,So, today we not only want to buy a set of clothes, but also a few sets of clothes."
Zhang Heng and Zhang Shu naturally had no objections, but what they didn't expect was that Zhang Jun suddenly became generous and chose clothes with better materials when buying clothes, which was unimaginable.
