"Sister, the weather is getting hotter day by day. Why don't you make some summer shirts? It's too hot to work in the fields wearing spring shirts." Looking at the amount of fabrics in the warehouse, Xiao Han suggested.
"Okay, I was just about to say, find some plain-colored ones and ask the king's sister-in-law for help." Xiao Ming said, the three of them are still wearing spring shirts. They are covered in sweat when they work, and they are more likely to catch a cold. But she couldn't make clothes herself, so she had to hire outside help.
The two discussed the lock at home, and with Maomao's scream, the three children ran back happily. Xiao Anzi was holding a bamboo pole in his hand. One end of the bamboo pole was covered with cotton thread, and the other end of the cotton thread hung a bamboo pole. crayfish.
The three of them ran happily. The crayfish was dragged along and lay motionless on the ground. Its two big pincers hung feebly. Maomao was sniffing next to him, with a look of disgust on his face, and ran to the side to lie down. Yes, it is now taken into the mouth of Xiao Ming's space water. It only eats meat and fruits, and the meat must be cooked.
"Aunt Xiao, look, we caught a shrimp. It can be grilled and eaten. It's delicious."
Not only can this be grilled, but it can also be made into thirteen-spice crayfish, spicy flavor, spicy flavor, garlic flavor, steamed crayfish... Dozens of ways to do it were in Xiao Ming's mind at the same time. After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Ming swallowed and felt that her foodie nature was back.
In her previous life, whenever crayfish were in season, she would eat all the flavors, especially the spicy ones.
I didn't expect it to be here, right under my nose. I couldn't help but feel so excited. Unfortunately, I could only think about it. She knew how to eat it, but not how to cook it.

Early the next morning, the three of them dressed up and got on Uncle Liu's ox cart and went to the town.
"Senior brother." When they arrived at Guangji Hall, Min Fangqi was waiting there early.
"Junior sister, come, senior brother will introduce someone to you." Min Fang said, leading Xiao Ming and the others onto the carriage, heading west, and stopped at a Sanjin courtyard not far from his home.
"Brother, whose mansion is this? The three of us came empty-handed and didn't bring any gifts." After the housekeeper led the four people into the living room and served hot tea, Xiao Ming asked doubtfully. She didn't expect that Min Fangqi would directly bring When they came to visit, all three of them came empty-handed and had no gifts.
At this time, Min Fangqi explained his purpose, "My young friend Mr. Wu lives here. He has great literary talent. We have known each other since childhood and have been friends for many years. I heard that you are looking for Brother Han and Brother Yu." Sir, this friend of mine has nothing to do, so I introduced you to him, hoping to become his disciple."
It took a lot of effort on his part to persuade Wu Tong to accept a disciple.
"Thank you for your support, senior brother." Xiao Ming was overjoyed. She and Xiao Han stood up and saluted Min Fangqi to thank him. Even Xiao Yu followed his uncle and aunt and stood up to salute. Although he didn't quite understand why, he just knew that his aunt I did this with my uncle, and he followed suit.
"No need to be polite, I'm just threading the thread through it. Whether it can work or not depends on the luck of the two of you."
While he was talking, the housekeeper of the Wu Mansion came out again and said, "Please come in with the younger one, Mr. Xiao. I invite you."
"Brother, what will happen if they go in?" After Xiao Han and the others entered, Xiao Ming was a little worried. She didn't know what kind of person this Mr. Wu was. Although his literary talent was good, what was his character?
"Junior sister, don't worry, Xiwen just wants to test them." Old God Min Fangqi was there, looking leisurely. He seemed to understand what Xiao Ming was thinking, and comforted him: "Xiwen once served in the Imperial College, teaching and educating people for dozens of years, and his disciples Countless, it would be a good thing for them if they could accept Xiao Han or Xiao Yu as their disciples."
"Really, thank you, senior brother, for taking the trouble." Xiao Ming said gratefully, so she felt relieved. Being able to join Mr. Wu's disciples also solved a big thing in her heart. She was worthy of her dead eldest brother, sister-in-law and the original owner. .
"I'm just reciprocating a favor. Compared to Master, who is broad-minded and has a mind for the world, what I do is just trivial things." Min Fangqi said with a smile. "Whether it can work or not depends on their luck."
An hour later, Xiao Ming waited outside nervously, but no one came out. Although she had confidence in them, she was still extremely worried.
How lucky it is to meet a famous teacher. We must know the importance of a famous teacher to students. Teachers are the guiding lights for students on their way to study. She embarked on the medical path under the influence and education of her grandfather since she was a child. It can be said that she has benefited endlessly no matter in her previous life or in this life.
If Xiao Han and Xiao Yu are lucky enough to be disciples, it will be beneficial to their future development.
"Don't worry." Min Fangqi couldn't help laughing when he saw Xiao Ming's anxious look. This was the first time he discovered that his junior sister had a worried side. She was usually mature and steady, as if everything was under control. Now she finally had a new look. expression.
While talking, Wu Tong walked in with Xiao Han's uncle and nephew.
Xiao Ming stepped forward to give blessings, and when she looked up, she realized that this person she had seen before was the old gentleman who stood with Min Fangqi on the day of the moving banquet.
"Miss Xiao, do you still know me?" Wu Tong stroked his beard and asked Xiao Ming gently with a smile in his eyes.

After sending Xiao Ming and the others away, Min Fangqi was having tea with Wu Tong and chatting, "Xiwen, you really agreed." He did not expect that Wu Tong would directly take Xiao Han and Xiao Yu under his wing.
"Do you think I am reckless? You should think twice before I act. I have carefully considered it." Wu Tong put down the tea cup and said, "Xiao Han is thirteen years old. Although he is older, he is self-taught and has a unique way of writing. My insights, with my guidance, will definitely soar to the sky over time." He took Xiao Han's Analects seriously, and he could understand its meaning, draw inferences from one instance and explain different truths.
"As for Xiao Yu, although he is young, he is smart and studious, and his regular script hand is quite similar, which shows his character, but his wrist strength is insufficient." Looking back on Xiao Yu, he was very satisfied. He was able to read the Thousand-Character Classic and the Three-Character Classic at a young age.
"Then who do you plan to accept as your disciple?" Min Fangqi asked, feeling happy for his old friend to find two good prospects.
"No, they are just students." Wu Tong began to love Xiao Han and the two talents, but after learning from past mistakes, he finally rejected Min Fangqi's request to accept disciples, saying: "These are my last two students. "
Min Fangqi was helpless, but his old friend still couldn't let go.
The three of Xiao Ming were walking on the street. Xiao Han happily told his sister what happened in the study, what Mr. Wu had tested on them, and how they answered. Xiao Ming smiled all the way, happy that they could pass the assessment and be recognized.
"Mr. Wu asked you to go to school tomorrow. We have to prepare everything today. Let's go to the bookstore to buy it now. We also have to buy a gift for Mr. Wu." Xiao Ming suggested.
In a hurry, the three of them had to buy the necessary items at the only bookstore in town that sold the Four Treasures of the Study.
