Chapter 31: knowledge
Chapter 31 Knowledge
Mrs. Cui looked at her daughter-in-law's delicate and clean hands and knew that she was also a treasure in her family. She could do some tasks that she could do.
Mrs. Cui really insisted, so Jiang Zhiluo could only leave it to Mrs. Cui to cook first, while she went to clean the spices and prepare the seasonings.
●The seasonings I bought this time are quite large and can be used many times.
Put the spices in a small thin box, put them in when cooking, take them out after use, and put them in again next time, so you can save some money.
After preparing the spices, Jiang Zhiluo packed the coarse salt she bought and then pounded it.
She will purify it herself later.
She also made a simple filter container using fine sand, coarse sand, burnt firewood ashes, rope and a small piece of cloth.
To refine the coarse salt into fine salt, the salt needs to be crushed and plant ash dissolved, then filtered and purified.
She watched every step to ensure that the fine salt was extracted.
Mrs. Cui followed Zhi Luo's instructions and used plant ashes to wash the pig's waste water.
After washing, Mrs. Cui was surprised to find that it was really clean and the smell was much lighter.
In this way, she worked harder, feeling that it was right to do what Zhiluo said.
I’m just curious about what kind of flavor Zhiluo can make something like this.
If her son doesn’t eat when the time comes, and she eats, she will definitely support him.
…
the other side
Early in the morning, Cui Hejin came to the school accompanied by Liu Tingan.
Because he had said hello in advance, Mr. Li also came to the school early to prepare to meet the young master.
Unexpectedly, I was amazed when I actually met the person.
He has never seen a person who is so talented in poetry and painting.
Just standing there, he looked like the most beautiful painting, which was pleasing to the eye.
It is true that the stranger is like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world.
“I’ve met Mr. Li.”
Cui Hejin bowed his hands.
Liu Ting'an also bowed his hands and said, "Grandpa Li, this is the friend I told you about. His name is Cui Hejin."
Mr. Li came back to his senses after a while, and hurriedly extended his hand and said: "Young Master Cui, you don't have to be polite, please sit down!"
"Ting'an, you also sit down."
Liu Ting'an knew Mr. Li at home and was somewhat familiar with him, so he called him Grandpa Li.
Mr. Li felt that Mr. Cui was no ordinary person just by looking at his noble temperament.
But Mr. Li didn't ask any more questions. He just examined Cui Hejin's knowledge.
Every answer from Cui Hejin not only satisfied Mr. Li, but also made him feel that he was well-read and knowledgeable.
Especially Mr. Li also proposed the topic, and Cui Hejin wrote an article on the spot.
Looking at that word, Mr. Li wished he could not blink. This word is so beautiful, it is pleasing to the eye.
Even if there are people watching from the side, Cui Hejin is still calm and calm when writing.
Writing the article quietly from beginning to end.
Elegant temperament.
After finishing the article, Mr. Li read it, stroking his beard and nodding, "Young Master Cui, this article is very good."
Not only that, the words are also beautiful.
If such words are taken out and fried, it will definitely be a copybook worth a thousand dollars.
Moreover, he admired the opinions of the young master’s articles.
This man's talents and learning are beyond his comparison.
I think he has been studying knowledge, but he is not as knowledgeable as this young master.
He was not annoyed, but rather cherished his talent.
"Young Master Cui has such knowledge. If he takes the scientific examination, he will surely gain fame."
Mr. Li just read the article and felt that this young master Cui has the talent of being the top scholar.
Cui Hejin said quietly: "Fame is not what I want."
When writing this article, he has deliberately restrained himself a lot, not wanting others to see his true talent.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Li also advised him to take the scientific examination.
If it had not been for the current emperor, Cui Guogong's mansion would not have been exiled, and his grandparents, grandmother, and father would not have died.
Mr. Li looked at Cui Hejin's indifferent expression and secretly sighed and felt it was a pity. But he also understands that everyone’s ambitions are different.
There are many knowledgeable and talented people in this world who hide in the countryside. Some pursue the heights of temples, while others pursue a stable and peaceful life.
Everyone thinks differently.
It was he who was frustrated because of the darkness in the officialdom and was almost faked in the imperial examination, so he came to a rural town to open a private school.
Over the years, it has become somewhat famous, and some well-off families will send their children to study here.
This place is equivalent to the Enlightenment School.
Judging from Young Master Cui’s knowledge, he is somewhat incompetent.
Mr. Li stood up and said seriously: "Little Master Cui will come to the school tomorrow to teach formally. He will be given two taels of silver per month."
His private school is no better than those large academies.
Cui Hejin raised his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Li."
"I should thank Young Master Cui. If my school becomes famous all over the world in the future, it will definitely be due to Young Master Cui."
Yes, at this moment, Mr. Li couldn't help but have the idea that maybe one day, his private school would become famous because of this young master.
This person is not a creature of the pond.
This small school and this small town cannot accommodate such an amazing and talented person.
Even if we only have a brief conversation all morning, you can tell by looking at this person's temperament, demeanor, knowledge, conversation, and articles.
Cui Hejin whispered: "Mr. Li, thank you for the award."
Liu Tingan was very happy to see Mr. Li admire Cui Hejin so much.
As if praising him.
You must know that Mr. Li is also a very knowledgeable person, and knowledgeable people are arrogant.
But facing Cui Hejin, Mr. Li was very humble.
After Cui Hejin and Liu Ting'an came out of the school, Liu Ting'an said excitedly: "Brother Cui, I knew you would be fine."
“Look, Mr. Li praises you.”
Cui Hejin looked very calm, as if entering the school to teach was just an ordinary thing.
Liu Ting'an also knew that Cui Hejin had a cold temperament and didn't talk much on weekdays.
But he couldn't help but like to talk to Brother Cui more.
His excitement was as if he were going to school to study.
As if thinking of something, Liu Ting'an whispered: "Brother Cui, you see Mr. Li has said that the school has dormitories. If you want to live in the school, you can live in the school, and if you want to go home, you can go home."
"I think if you live in the school, you can get rid of that woman."
Cui Hejin has been silent. Hearing these words, Ruhua's eyebrows frowned, and he said with a cold breath: "She is my wife."
Liu Ting'an could feel that Brother Cui's words were a little serious and serious.
"ah!"
Liu Tingan was a little confused.
It was obviously the woman who forced Brother Cui to get married, so why did Brother Cui still protect her?
Same, Brother Cui is a responsible person. Even if he doesn't like it, he will protect her because she is his wife.
Liu Tingan changed his tone and said, "But Brother Cui, the food she makes is really delicious."
He didn’t know what the two pies he ate last night were made from, but he thought they were so delicious that he still has endless aftertaste.
Cui Hejin looked at the sky and said, "Thank you very much for today. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."
Cui Hejin said goodbye to Liu Tingan and went home.
…
By noon, Jiang Zhiluo had already filtered the fine salt.
She looked at the white and fine salt in the pot with a smile on her face.
“Mom, come and see, I have refined the salt.”
After Mrs. Cui cleaned the pig's waste water, she heard Jiang Zhiluo's voice.
When she heard this, she didn't even bother to wipe her hands and hurried from the yard into the kitchen house.
Then she followed Zhiluo's line of sight and looked into the pot. At this sight, she was simply stunned.
“This…is there such white and fine salt?”
Mrs. Cui stretched out her hand and gently twisted the edge of the pot. She could see it most clearly on her fingers.
