Chapter 3 The Newborn Calf(1/2)

The wing pavilion is located north of Shangde Hall and is divided into two parts. The base of the wing pavilion does not have steps, but uses footrests to separate the floor and the land. The wing pavilion has only one floor, but the area is very wide and can accommodate many people. Because there are many boys, they are all divided into the wing pavilion.

With a squeak, Hengsan opened the wooden door. The room was brightly lit and nine beds were arranged neatly. It was a compliment to say that it was a bed that was laid on the ground by nine beds, which happened to accommodate a small body.

"Because you joined temporarily, the preparations were a little hurry, so just tell me what you don't have." Heng San held Xuan Shaoning's shoulder and made a friendly arrangement.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Heng San." After receiving the boy's answer, Heng San turned around and left.

As soon as Heng San left, a boy put his back foot on his back and said with a smile: "Hello, I am Xiao Moyan, the unfilial descendant of Xiao, silent Mo, too much words will lead to mistakes. Do you still remember that I was greeting you in the hall just now, haha!"

Looking at the boy with a cute and cute face with a short hair, Xuan Shaoning was a little amused. Is there anyone who introduced himself like this? He used idioms so randomly, it is no wonder that he had to study hard at Qingshan Academy. Besides, he was not saying hello just now? He clearly shook his eyes at himself! The name given by his parents should have hoped that he could speak less, but the result was the opposite, and it was really unpredictable.

"Oh, I remember you." Xuan Shaoning understood that a smile was the most effective way to communicate.

"Just remember, just remember! Haha, let's play together in the future. Hey, everyone will come and get to know each other!" Looking at Xiao Moyan's lively spirit, Xuan Shaoning was really driven by his and was in a cheerful mood.

"Come on, I'll introduce you to you." Xiao Moyan seemed very excited. He turned around and grabbed the boy closest to him. "His name is Duan Lang. His father and my father are family friends. We have been playing together since we were young. This time they also entered the academy to study together. What about my good brother!"

Duan Lang was a little taller than Xiao Moyan. His body looked strong and his fleshy feeling were very different from Xiao Moyan. Xuan Shaoning thought to himself that he really didn't know how they got together.

"That's right, we are good brothers. We can enter the academy together. We will be good brothers in the future!" Duan Lang smiled and patted Xuan Shaoning on the shoulder with his left hand. This was his way of making friends.

"Duan Lang is more adaptable than Xiao Moyan," Xuan Shaoning recited silently in his heart.

"Come on, let me introduce you next: This is Mu Qingyuan. We met on the way to the academy. He is knowledgeable and he knows a lot of things!" Xiao Moyan ran over and pulled someone out to Xuan Shaoning.

"Hello, my surname is Mu Qingyuan. Xiao Moyan has over-proclaimed it. I just read a little more books." As he said that, he seemed to blush. The boy named Mu Qingyuan tied his hair like an adult, looking gentle and kind.

"Mu Qingyuan, don't be too modest." Another boy walked up. Although his face was yellow, his body was quite strong. "Huo Qing is my name. I don't look like they came from a big family. I am just an ordinary farmer's child. Don't dislike it!" As he said that, Huo Qing stretched out his hand. There were many calluses at the base of his fingers. It seemed that he often did farm work.

"I am also an orphan, and my life experience is not as good as you." Xuan Shaoning also reached out to hold the wide and rough hands as he empathized.

"Come on, I'll continue to introduce you. This person is..." Before Xiao Moyan finished speaking, he interrupted him alone.

"Xiao Moyan, you really should listen to your parents' words. Moyan Moyan, say less, I don't need you to introduce you!" Someone shouted behind Xuan Shaoning, which scared him. Xuan Shaoning turned around and saw that this was a boy with a very noble temperament, dressed in brocade and was very luxurious, so it was no wonder that he spoke with confidence.

"I'll tell you Ke Ran, the prefect of the capital, Yan Di, is my father."

It turned out to be the son of the prefect of the capital. Unexpectedly, he also came to Qingshan Academy. It seemed that this academy was crouching and hidden. Xuan Shaoning's awe of the academy deepened a little.

"Oh, the young master of Yanfu Gong, you are too proud. You always talk about your family background, and neither of us said it!" Xiao Moyan said with dissatisfaction: "Shaoning, do you know the family background of Mu Qingyuan?" Xiao Moyan held Xuan Shaoning's hand and asked very seriously.

"How could I know? It's so strange!" Xuan Shaoning felt a little confused, but he still took the initiative to give Xiao Moyan a step, "I really don't know, can I tell you?"

"Listen, my father is the Minister of Works, and Mu Qingyuan's father is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple!" After saying that, he pouted, raised his head, squinted his eyes, and didn't even look at Yan Keran.

"Haha, Xiao Moyan, you're really good at Moyan. Your father's official position is under the prefect of the capital. In the lower Su Qian, I'm lucky to know you!" Although this boy named Su Qian was very polite, Xuan Shaoning always felt that he looked like a little businessman.

"What! What! I didn't say that my father is high-ranking..." Xiao Moyan was poked into the pain area, blushed, and was about to continue to distinguish, Xuan Shaoning was afraid that he would quarrel endlessly, so he quickly smoothed out the situation. "It's great, you are much better than an orphan like me!"

"I'll say less, it's my turn." A slightly fat boy squeezed through the crowd and came to Xuan Shaoning. "My name is Du Shaoyin. My father is an ordinary private school teacher. My father always hopes that the best teacher will teach me, so he finally asked for my husband's consent and asked me to study at Qingshan Academy."

"Yes, Qingshan Academy can't come in just as rich or official fathers. We were all chosen by the Master himself!" Xiao Moyan said and shook eyes at Yan Keran, still not convinced by the previous game.

"Have you had enough arguments? If you want to make friends, go outside. I still have to sleep. I will have to take Master's class tomorrow!" The last boy said impatiently. Everyone looked at the innermost bed of the wing. The boy had already slept with his back to everyone.

"We have been to the academy for a few days, but he always doesn't interact with us. He always looks cold and is not sociable at all!" Xiao Moyan immediately added, "I heard that his name is Shi Gong Zhengyuan, he is really as famous as his name, and it's very strange."

Xuan Shaoning looked at the boy in that corner and felt indescribable.

Bang...bang...bang...bang...

Xuan Shaoning was woken up by a harsh sound. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was already the next morning. He turned his head and saw a man standing at the door of the wing. Because he couldn't see his face clearly because of the backlight, he only saw him holding a gong in his right hand and a hammer in his left hand, and keep beating.

"Who is it so noisy!" Xiao Moyan struggled to get up and roared.

"If I don't get up again, I will lift your quilts and take you out naked!" Then there was a gong ringing like a tight "bang...bang...bang..."

When he heard this, Xuan Shaoning woke up completely. Isn’t this sound Ye Kai?! Although he hadn’t slept so comfortably and so at ease for a long time, he also understood that Ye Kai shouldn’t be talking about it, so he jumped out of bed and hurriedly ran out while putting on his clothes.

As soon as he arrived at the door, a dazzling ray of sunshine made Xuan Shaoning unable to open his eyes for a moment. He subconsciously rubbed his eyes and saw four girls standing on the flat ground in front of the wing pavilion.

At this time, Ye Kai walked past Xuan Shaoning and came to the flat ground, and said loudly: "The girls are much better than you! I counted to five, and no one who didn't come out was allowed to have breakfast!"

So strict? Xuan Shaoning was still wondering whether Ye Kai was playing tricks or when he came to the real world, Shi Gong Zhengyuan had already run past him like a wind and arrived in front of Ye Kai the first.

"one"!

"two"!

Come on really!

Xuan Shaoning also ran over and stood beside Shi Gong Zhengyuan. He did not stand firmly and reported the number to follow him in time.

"three"!

"Four"!

.........

The teenagers ran out of the wing with disheveled faces.

Before the "Jiu" could be shouted, someone heard someone shouting, "Wait, I'm here, I'm here." Then, Xiao Moyan, who was untidy and barefoot, stood on the flat ground the last time.

"At the third hour of the day, you must stand in front of me on time. Let's not worry about it today. If anyone can't do it in the future, then..." Ye Kai deliberately lengthened his tone.

"What about that?" Xiao Moyan asked inappropriately.

"I have a hundred ways to punish you. If you want to see it, let it come over!" After saying that, Ye Kai smiled strangely and squeezed his eyes without a smile, but the boys felt creepy no matter how they looked at it.

"Today's first homework is to run around Lanyue Lake. If you dare to say that you are tired, you will fall behind and you won't have to eat breakfast!" Ye Kai took the lead and trotted, and the teenagers all hurriedly followed.

In the early morning, the air was cold, not as hot as summer, and slightly sweating, and the teenagers did not feel tired.

Xuan Shaoning was immersed in further observation of the academy when someone suddenly hit him with his elbow. When he turned around, he saw Xiao Moyan coming over.

"Look, the girl with the longest hair in front is Qi Wantong. She thinks this name is beautiful when she hears it." Seeing Xiao Moyan's look like he was drooling, Xuan Shaoning couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Maybe it's just that the name is beautiful." Xiao Moyan didn't seem to hear Xuan Shaoning's voiceover and continued: "She has more than just a nice name. There are only four girls in this class. She is the most beautiful, really!"

Listening to Xiao Moyan's serious narration and looking at Xiao Moyan's eager eyes, Xuan Shaoning couldn't get interested. He understood his identity very well and knew the purpose of entering the academy, and did not want these unrestrained things to affect him.

"I agree with Xiao Moyan, but he can only wipe his saliva silently, because Qi Wantong definitely looks down on the people who whine all day!" Unexpectedly, Yan Keran, who was beside him, heard them and also came over to interject, but this sentence annoyed Xiao Moyan.

"I'm right, and Qi Wantong doesn't like it, but I can't hold on to the playboy who can't hold on and shoulders!" After venting, he didn't look at Yan Keran and ran away on his own, making Yan Keran so angry that he stared at him. Facing such a fellow disciple, Xuan Shaoning could only smile helplessly.

However, no matter how he did, Xuan Shaoning looked at Qi Wantong's back. About two quarters of an hour later, the group had already run from the southeast corner of Lanyue Lake to the northwest corner.

"Can't run anymore...I can't do it anymore." The slightly fat Mu Qingyuan was already breathless.

"I...so..." Unexpectedly, there was Du Shaoyin behind Mu Qingyuan. His even fat body obviously became a burden. He was almost unable to stand up.

Seeing that the two were getting farther and farther away from the large army, Xuan Shaoning had to go back to help. At the same time, Huo Qing also ran over, holding Du Shaoyin and saying to Xuan Shaoning, "We will help one of them." After that, the two of them raised their companions and continued to run forward.

As the end point approaches, a thicker fragrance begins to penetrate into people's nose.

"It smells so good, my saliva is really flowing this time." Not only Xiao Moyan, but Xuan Shaoning also started to bulge his stomach, and finally remembered that he hadn't had breakfast yet.

"Try harder and you'll be able to have a meal soon!" Ye Kai encouraged at the right time.

This move was indeed very useful. Even Mu Qingyuan and Du Shaoyin were excited to run away. Soon a building appeared at the end of the road.

If Lanyue Lake is the lower Xuanyue, then the building is the upper Xuanyue, which is a fan-shaped concave toward the interior, forming a semicircular structure. The outside is surrounded by a curved corridor. A plaque is hung on the edge beam between the two innermost columns: Jieshenyuan, a row of wooden doors are all open, and the fragrance of saliva drooling comes out of it.

"Jiechenyuan is the place to eat, right?" This time it was not Xiao Moyan's mouth, but Yan Keran.

"That's right, the Chef Academy means saving food, and it is a place for all the academy people to eat. The chef here is a diet master!" Ye Kai glanced at the teenagers and swallowed secretly.

"I can't help it anymore, Senior Brother Ye, let's go in!" Du Shaoyin urged.

"Although your performance on the first day was unsatisfactory, I won't bother with you for the first time. Let's go and have a meal!"

"Okay!" The young men who had finished running suddenly became energetic.

When you walk into the festival courtyard, the interior layout is also simple: several rows of long wooden tables are connected together, and more than a dozen wooden benches are also connected. The walls are simple and do not need to be decorated. Facing the innermost position of the door, a half-person-high window is open, and a jingle sound is heard from it.

Everyone was about to go in and see what happened. A man with a short figure, round belly and a greasy face walked out of the window door. The man was wrapped in a dark purple-red headscarf around his head, which seemed to be stained with oil smoke, and looked greasy. He held a large tray on each hand, and there were no less than five plates of food on each one. However, he looked not tired at all and smiled.

Ye Kai said to the man: "Pangkui, I will bring the new junior brother and sister to support you. What delicious food should I make today?"

"Haha, I heard you were coming. I happened to go down the mountain to buy ingredients three days ago, but I haven't seen it. Today I finally got what I want. My name is Xu Kui. Because I am fat, everyone calls me Fat Kui. I am a rough man, and I am a chef!" As he said, he put all the trays in his hand on the table. The whole process was steady and sensible.

"Why are you humble? Our academy has other chefs, but if you want to say that the best craftsmanship is Fat Kui, you can be said to be the chef of the academy. Yet, chef?" Ye Kai was also the usual ruffian style and smiled evilly.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. Today I tried to make a few new breakfasts I learned when I went down the mountain, and I came to try them all!" Fat Kui looked at the teenagers and couldn't help but liked them from the bottom of his heart. This made him laugh even more happily, but his eyes narrowed into a slit.

"I'll try it, I'll taste it!" Xiao Moyan was excited again.

"And I, my stomach is hungry," Du Shaoyin continued.

"The first dish is taro dates. It is peeled and cooked with purple taro and then made into a mold, stuffed golden silk dates into it, and then put them in the steamer for the second time and steamed them in water." I saw seven purple meatballs piled up on a small green glaze plate.

"The second course is the three-color roll, using Artemisia, Ganxun, eggs, one layer of one ingredient to make these three colors layered!"

"This third dish is the most difficult to make. It requires good pork belly and the newly released Hu Kui this year, accompanied by Grandma Hua's tofu, chopped it and put it in a pot until it is 70% cooked. Then wrap it with rice bran powder and fry it into a golden color, then pour it on my special sauce, put it in the steamer for a quarter of an hour before it is finished!"

When Fat Kui introduced these foods, he was simply describing a rare handicraft in the world, without considering the groaning of others.

"Oh, I forgot, it also has a very literary name, called Love Story, how about it, hahaha!" Fat Kui laughed with satisfaction.

"Master Fatkui, that...I just want to ask... Can we eat it?" Duan Lang blinked his not-so-big eyes, as if begging.

"Oh, I'm just going to introduce it, eat it, eat it, haha!" The most exquisite food is still focused on the taste, and Pang Kui is obviously quite confident about it.

No one answered, and the teenagers picked up chopsticks and picked up pastries and put them into their mouths, and some even used their hands directly.
