Chapter 8 Xianxuetang
You need to pay money to enter Baishi Town, but Yun Ye followed Liu Quan in and no one dared to ask for money.
After entering Baishi Town, Liu Quan became annoyed. One look made Yun Ye unable to move and unable to continue pulling the tiger's skin.
Yun Ye had no choice but to find someone on the avenue to ask for the location of the Xian School.
As expected, Xianxuetang was extraordinary. Passers-by looked impatient when they were stopped. But when it was said that the place they wanted to go to was Xianxuetang, the passers-by immediately became enthusiastic and gave Yun Ye detailed directions.
After Yun Ye thanked him, he took the high road for safety reasons.
He observed all the way.
Baishi Town is indeed not comparable to Ono Village and Mingzhu Village. It is very prosperous. There are a large number of vendors on the street. Yun Ye also saw snack sellers, and he had no worries about no one buying them.
If this were Mingzhu Village, it would be completely impossible. There was not even enough money to buy necessities. How could he buy snacks?
A piece of bread that is only enough to feed one person is sold for one black copper. This is completely unacceptable to the poor.
A piece of black copper, if eaten sparingly, can feed a family of three for a day.
Even though it was two meals, there was still a six-fold difference.
Taste alone cannot convince poor people to pay five times the premium.
But the residents of White Rock don't care.
Unlike people outside, they are not precarious and it is much easier to save money.
Therefore, they will not be stingy with spending money.
This is a huge business opportunity.
Yun Ye thought about his own affairs and quickly reached his destination.
When he looked up, he saw three big Chinese characters with mahogany and gold characters, dragons and phoenixes. Although Yun Ye didn't recognize them, he thought they were "Xianxuetang" because these three characters were the same as those on his token.
In front of the school door, there was a young man in black sitting.
In front of him was a stone table, a ledger, and a box next to which contained a large number of tokens.
Yun Ye took out his token and saw that it was exactly the same. It had a black background, cyan letters, and three words written on it.
"Is this...Xianxuetang?" Yun Ye stepped forward with the token and asked.
The young man glanced at him lazily and said, "Leave the token behind. Whose last name is it and where did it come from?"
"Mingzhu...Cun...Yang Shi." Yun Ye respectfully put the token into the box.
"You're still not even good at talking. The quality is getting worse and worse." The young man sneered and tapped the table with his finger. The account book on the table automatically turned to a page with more than half written on it.
He didn't see him writing, just his fingers brushed over it, and the handwriting was already left.
Immediately afterwards, the young man threw a gray token, and Yun Ye quickly caught it. Before Yun Ye could ask anything, the young man said impatiently: "This is your identity card. Go in with the sign. Room C, No. 7 , find it yourself!”
"Besides, please pay attention to the rules in Xian Academy. You are not allowed to attack classmates or enter other people's rooms, whether invited by the other party or your own wishes. Don't ask why, there is no reason!"
"Okay, get out!"
Yun Ye originally wanted to ask more questions, but this person was obviously unhappy with his attitude, and asking more questions would be harmful rather than helpful.
He silently put away the token, walked into the Xian Academy, and looked around.
There are already people in the school, and there are quite a few of them. At a rough look, they can be divided into two types.
One is the students in black uniforms who come and go in a hurry. Although the clothes are different, it is obvious that they are in the same uniform. They are all old students and did not enroll this year.
The other type is the students who are dressed in different styles. Most of them are very simple, even simple, and have a blank expression on their faces. This characteristic is obvious.
Therefore, Yun Ye classified them as freshmen.
Although Yun Ye was completely illiterate and had no way to find the dormitory by himself, after knowing who was the old student and who was the new student, he followed the new students around and eavesdropped for a while as if nothing happened. He also basically figured out the situation in Xian Academy. .
It turns out that the rooms are divided into four categories: A, B, C and D. Most freshmen are in Class C rooms.
It is not just the rooms that are graded, but other aspects as well. The main purpose is to filter.
There are exams every year, and if you fail to pass, you will be downgraded.
After accumulating three times, you will drop out of school directly.
Xianxuetang is a place full of competition and a place that tests personal abilities. It is very different from the kind education of modern schools.
Yun Ye knew that he needed to adjust his mentality quickly, otherwise he would not be able to adapt, let alone infiltrate the top management of Baishi Town, and he might be kicked out during the audition stage.
"After three days, Qi skills will be taught for one hour every day, and there will be a snack at that time. Does it sound like this snack is a bit unusual?"
Yun Ye pondered the last thing he heard and opened the door with "Bingqi" written on it.
"Creak."
A tidy room is introduced to the eye, with all bedding provided, no air leakage, and no strange smell.
Yun Ye was even more surprised that this room had only one bed, which meant that it was a single room!
Are there very few people enrolling in school?
No, it should be said that this school is too big. After all, it is opened by the government, and a mere fifteen square meters is nothing.
Among the powerful people in this world, who doesn’t own a mansion of several thousand square meters?
It is also very common to build a mansion like a garden, which is very different from the modern dwellings where every inch of land costs a lot of money.
"It turns out that this is what the students mentioned about the downgrade of treatment. At the beginning, each person will have a room. If he fails to pass the exam within one year, he will be downgraded to a double room. After two years, it will be a four-person room. After three years... he will drop out of school."
Yun Ye did not put down the package, but walked through the corridor with the package and came to a place full of fireworks.
Tables were lined up one after another, and many people were already sitting at the tables, eating heavily.
From the smell, Yun Ye knew that this was the cafeteria of Xian Xuetang.
Yun Ye touched his belly, walked up and ordered a large bowl of food, and asked the price.
And sure enough, as Yang Shu once said, the food in Xianxuetang is free and can be eaten openly. This is the most basic welfare of Xianxuetang. Food has to be paid for, so it is meaningless for poor people to enter Xianxuetang.
Yun Ye, who was already a little hungry, wolfed down a big bowl. When he thought about it, Yun Ye only felt extremely tired.
The meat in this cafeteria is just ordinary salted meat stewed in salt water. If you eat a little more, it will be very greasy and it will make you lose your appetite.
Yun Ye rubbed his belly and forced himself to eat two more large bowls, not stopping until he was full.
He resisted the nausea, got up and left.
At this moment, two young men in brocade clothes walked by, looked at Yun Ye with a frown, and immediately scolded him: "You are so barbaric and disrespectful of etiquette, boy, don't be an eyesore here, get out of here."
"This school is really full of beggars. I don't know how many years have passed since I took a shower. It's bad luck!"
They were born with good food and clothing and a good environment, so naturally they couldn't stand "savages" like Yun Ye.
Compared to them, Yun Ye, who was discriminated against, didn't even frown and just left the field faster.
The two young men in brocade clothes were also accustomed to the fear of untouchables. They glanced at Yun Ye's back with disdain and continued to talk. Soon, their food was served.
They were bowls of food that looked gloomy but had a faint aroma of medicinal herbs. They were completely different from Yun Ye's salted meat stew.
The two casually threw down a silver coin to pay the bill and started eating.
