"Of course it's difficult. You have to be in the top ten in total to be exempted from all tuition fees. The top twenty students are only exempted from half."
Winnie clenched her fists and said firmly: "I must get the best results, and the top three will receive high scholarships!"
Luo Wei's eyelashes trembled. There were more than two hundred people in one grade, and it was really difficult to get into the top ten.
But thinking about the high tuition fees, it's not like she can't work hard.
Xilia has opened a total of seven courses, namely potion, magic pattern class, magic spells, alchemy, astrology, swordsmanship and equestrianism, and only one course is taught a day.
She had already taken the potions and magic pattern classes once, and they were not too difficult.
And after seeing the scientific nature of the magic pattern class, Luo Wei had automatically translated the names of each subject in her mind.
Pharmacy is a biology class, magic pattern class is a mathematics class, magic spells should be some kind of foreign language, and alchemy is chemistry.
Astrology is ancient astronomy, so it belongs in physics class.
The last two subjects, fencing is a physical education class, and equestrian is a driving class, but they are not driving cars, and the school does not issue driver's licenses to students.
Mathematics, foreign languages, physics and chemistry, and physical education. This school is seriously biased towards science. It can be seen that it is a science college.
But it just so happened that she was a science student in her previous life. Apart from swordsmanship and equestrianism, it was not difficult to get high marks in the remaining classes.
But in this case, she must sell the fine wool weaving formula as soon as possible.
After selling the money, she first buys a good horse, whether it's to better conceal her identity or to get high marks in her riding class.
"Winnie, do you know who is the largest wool weaver in Siria?"
…
Siria Magic Academy is named after the city of Siria established in the Principality of Lenkos.
Ciria City is located in the central and eastern part of the Western Plains Continent, with a warm and humid climate, flat and open terrain, and relatively developed commerce.
"To the north is the church, to the west is the castle of the Lord of Ciria on the mountain, in the middle is Ciria Square, and to the south is our market area!"
"Don't underestimate these streets. Businessmen from all over the place come here every day to exchange supplies. There are things from all over the world that you don't want, and there is nothing you can't buy."
"Well, the two shops next to each other in front are our fabric stores. Half of the fabrics are cashmere!"
"Although our family is not the largest wool textile merchant in Siria, we are not far from the number one, and the price of our wool fabrics is fair, and we are honest!"
Winnie's classmate, Balk Huggins, son of Barton Huggins, the second largest woolen merchant in Hillia, chattered along the way.
He is a cheerful young man with a little symmetrical freckles on his face and two big front teeth when he smiles.
Although Balk is also a commoner, his family has been in business for generations, is relatively wealthy, and is dressed much more decently than Winnie.
When Luo Wei asked Winnie about the wool textile merchants in Siria, Winnie immediately thought of Balk and introduced him to Luo Wei.
Luo Wei needed money urgently, but it didn't matter to her whether she was the largest wool textile merchant.
She told Balk directly that she had a secret recipe for wool spinning and wanted to do business with him.
She was well versed in negotiation skills and told Balk that if he was not going to do the business, she would find other businessmen in the city.
Balk became anxious when he heard this. He was determined to carry forward the family business and strive to become the largest businessman in Siria. How could he let go of the business that came to him?
He immediately sent a message to his father and asked Luo Wei and Winnie to go to their shop to discuss it in detail.
He can't make the decision on such a big matter by himself.
Barton Huggins had already been waiting in the store. Although he didn't think that a noble lady would have any good secret recipes, after all, he was invited by his son, and he was very willing to meet her.
What's more, she was a noble lady!
If Balk could gain the friendship of a noble lady, or think more boldly and win the heart of a noble lady, their family would be able to enter the upper class from now on!
Barton was so excited that he walked around the store. He tried his best to send his son to Xilia Magic Academy. Didn't he just want him to go in and get to know some nobles?
One year, exactly one year later, my son was finally able to invite a noble lady to his home as a guest.
Barton was in tears.
"Father!"
Balk's cheerful voice came from outside the door.
Barton quickly walked to the door to greet the arrival of the noble lady.
In his sight, his son stood sideways at the front to lead the way, followed by two girls of thirteen or fourteen years old.
One of the girls was particularly outstanding. She had black hair, dark eyes, fair skin as smooth as jade, and a slender neck supporting her beautiful head, like a noble white swan!
Her facial features are so delicate, her appearance is so charming, her figure is graceful, her back is straight, and even her steps have a strange rhythm.
Barton looked at her feet and realized that she had gently lifted the hem of her skirt embroidered with gold threads with her hands and was walking on tiptoes on the wet slate tiles.
There is no mistake, this must be the noble lady that my son mentioned!
Only women from noble families would walk on tiptoe when going out.
Barton greeted her warmly: "Come in, please come in. What is your name, this distinguished lady?"
A faint smile appeared on Luo Wei's face: "Hello Mr. Huggins, my name is Luo Wei."
She held up her skirt and walked up the clean steps, finally feeling relieved.
There was no one to clean up the feces all over the street. Some people poured water on the street. When she stepped on it, it was so pulpy that she almost vomited it out.
Barton invited Luo Wei upstairs with great discernment, and ordered the waiters in the store to quickly light the incense and deliver the freshest fruits.
The noble lady just covered her nose. She must have thought it smelled bad down there.
Soon, several people sat down in the reception room on the second floor and began friendly discussions.
"Miss Luo Wei, I heard from Balke that you have a secret recipe for wool textile technology?"
Although the noble lady did not tell her her last name, Barton did not dare to call her by her first name, but awkwardly called her "Miss Luo Wei".
"Yes, this is our family's secret recipe. It should not be passed on easily, but the cashmere fabric from Siriya is really rough and heavy, and it made me feel uncomfortable all over."
Luo Wei touched her neck, as if she had been pricked by the collar of her sweater, frowning and complaining.
"Yes, the cashmere cloth we have here is indeed a bit rough." Barton had a smile on his face, but he didn't think so in his heart.
The fabric woven from wool is already thick and prickly, so who noble wears it as the innermost layer?
Is this young lady not deliberately looking for trouble?
"So, I want to do a business with you," Luo Wei complained before getting down to business. "You use the secret recipe I gave you to weave cashmere fabric that satisfies me and make it into ready-made clothes for me. I will pay you. Great reward.”
"This..." Barton hesitated, "How much cashmere cloth do you need to make?"
It would not be a cost-effective business to open a production line for her alone.
"One cashmere sweater a day would require about fifty pieces of cloth!"
"One is..."
"Forty feet requires fifteen pounds of cashmere," Luo Wei raised her chin, "I can pay you a deposit of one hundred gold coins, and I'll pay you ten silver coins for each cashmere sweater I make."
She had learned in advance that the current average price of cashmere sweaters was only sixty copper coins. The price she offered was more than ten times higher, and Barton would definitely be tempted.
