Chapter 144 I raised my husband in ancient times (33)
The conditions for Qinglu College to recruit students are the entrance examination and the apprenticeship gift, which means tuition is covered.
Because Lin Chaomu had studied in Qinglu for a period of time before, the entrance test directly tested students in Class A, that is, students with excellent grades could be dismissed directly next month.
Lin Chaomu was originally a student in Class Jiazi. He dropped out of school because Lin's mother was seriously ill. He has not continued to enroll until now, half a year later.
The test ended soon, and Lin Chaomu re-entered Class A without any suspense. Jiang Tang paid the tuition fee on an annual basis, which was three taels of silver a year.
No wonder it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son. The tuition fee alone is enough for a poor family to earn a year's hard work. How can it be possible to invest all of it in the academy? What's more, the road to the imperial examination is long. Some people have been taking the exam for thirty years and are still a child. Even scholars are not Failed the test.
Too many people give up halfway through.
Because you are not only competing with these ordinary people, but also thousands of children from aristocratic families. They have huge financial resources and outstanding teachers. Their teachers are all former imperial examination invigilators.
Therefore, it is not so easy for a carp to jump over the dragon's gate.
This is why Lin Chaomu simply dropped out of school to take care of his mother at home. Because he didn't have enough money, he would have to leave school one day. It would be better to collect enough money for a one-time settlement before coming back.
But now that he has met Jiang Tang, he has advanced his plan by half a year.
After taking care of everything, Lin Chaomu received his student uniform and re-entered school the next day, just in time to catch up with the fate of the first batch of students who were in his class that year.
Everyone is a child, and Lin Chaomu is the younger one. He will take the scholar examination at the beginning of next month, which is seven days later.
After Lin Chaomu entered school, Jiang Tang rented a shop on the street and opened a braised meat shop. The name of the shop was written by Lin Chaomu himself.
Lu Zhai Fang.
Elegant and elegant, it is engraved on the plaque.
Three days before the store opened, Jiang Tang bought a round-belly casserole that was almost half a person's height, and put in the cleaned pig ears, pig tails, pig intestines, pork liver, lotus root slices, and shiitake mushrooms... After placing them and adding them, The seasonings mentioned on the menu are added with water and simmered over low heat. Stir evenly during the period and simmer for three days and three nights.
On the opening day, Jiang Tang opened the door and took off the lid of the casserole that had been closed for three days. In an instant, the tangy aroma quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys. The spices were mixed with the secret marinade. The strange aroma was mixed with the addictive aroma of meat. It captured the attention of all passers-by on the street in an instant. sense of smell.
After a while, the guests who came after smelling the smell came to the casserole one after another and kept glancing into the casserole.
"Boss, what are you selling? Why does it smell so good?"
Jiang Tang took out a piece of elbow meat from the casserole, cut it into small pieces on the cutting board, and placed it on a plate before everyone.
"The braised meat shop is newly opened, free trial, try first before buying."
Of course everyone wants to try this good thing, taste first before buying.
After one bite, the fragrant meat juice splashes in the mouth. It is soft and tender yet firm, and the rich taste ferments in the mouth, making people unable to resist the urge to chew.
This kind of meat should be eaten in large quantities!
The person who had tasted it asked with a look of unfulfilled interest.
“How do you sell this!”
Jiang Tang took out the plaque he had prepared in advance and hung it outside. There was a row of small characters on the plaque, and the prices of various meats and vegetables were clearly marked.
Basically, meat costs fifteen cents per pound.
Vegetables cost five cents per catty.
There are also secret braised noodles, which cost eight cents a bowl.
