A ragged cub at the beginning

The herbal tea made with pinellia tuber may not look very good in color, but it tastes surprisingly good. It is sweet with a medicinal aroma, and after drinking a bowl of warm tea, it feels like a cool breeze is blowing over your body.

The most important thing is that the price is not expensive, so Tang Xu added a bucket to his lunch. If you want to buy it, you can buy it in a bamboo tube for two cents. Both children and the elderly can drink it.

After a few days, Aunt Feng said that the medicinal materials had run out and the herbal tea was selling very well.

Some people who don't live nearby even heard about it and made a detour to buy it. When I saw that the kindergarten still had lunch, I wanted to buy one, but was told that I had to make a reservation in advance.

Those cute-shaped bowl-shaped cakes, small rice balls, spicy and delicious cold noodles, and cold skin are not only irresistible to children, but also to adults.

The children’s meals at Qingyang Kindergarten became an instant hit.

This brought Tang Xu a lot of income. She informed Wang Xiaoyu and asked her to pick two more families who grew vegetables well and were not having a hard time, and to deliver vegetables with her every day.

Wang Xiaoyu was full of gratitude and never expected that it could benefit other people in the village.

She heard that Tang Xu was giving out money, and many people called Tang Xu the Female Bodhisattva, who came down to earth specifically to help these poor people.

Of course, there are also sour ones.

Some said Tang Xu must be a fool, as he had never seen anyone spend money. Some said the mayor looked smart, but he married a spendthrift wife.

Some even went worse and went straight to Old Madam Du, suggesting indirectly that she change her daughter-in-law, praising her own daughter and relatives' girls of the same age.

Madam Du closed the door and refused to see visitors, but Du Yun didn't care what these people thought. There were mixed reviews, but the Du and Tang families ignored them.

It was not until many years later that the first female general came from Yihe Town and publicly stated many times that she was where she is today because of the director of Qingyang Kindergarten in Yihe Town. Then people first knew about it. There was a woman who had helped countless Yihe women without expecting anything in return.

I'm getting off track. Although the kindergarten only sold lunch and herbal tea, it actually earned more than three hundred taels of silver in a month.

Tang Xu directly gave bonuses to everyone in the garden, and Aunt Feng alone received triple the salary.

After school reopened, the kindergarten did not accept too many lunch reservations. Only 100 people were allowed per day, and it was first come first served. And the children could not choose the dishes. They were given whatever they ate that day.

The limited supply makes people flock to it even more.

More people heard the news and came to see what this kindergarten was like, which was praised by everyone for its lunch.

After much consideration, Tang Xu opened the kindergarten again for one day one month after the start of school.

But this time she gave one more place, and every parent whose child attends the kindergarten can bring a relative or friend.

No lunch reservations were accepted on that day. As it was already difficult to accommodate all the parents, Tang Xu had to recruit people again.

There were only two spots available, but nearly fifty people showed up that day.

"I heard that the female Bodhisattva is recruiting people. Are you here to try it out?"

"Yes, the female Bodhisattva has a good temper and is very kind to people."

The sound of people chatting could be heard, and Tang Xu shouted twice, "Please stop talking."

Then start screening based on first impressions. For those who work in the kitchen, those who are neat and clean are preferred. Those who are unkempt or have long or dirty nails are not preferred. This is half of the screening.

The remaining person made a dish. After tasting them, Tang Xu chose two dishes that were quick to work and good at cooking. This would also help relieve Aunt Feng's pressure, as the dishes that were not difficult could be handed over to the two of them.

On the open day, the kindergarten was almost full of people and the classrooms were almost full.

This time, most of the people were women, and there were very few men. However, compared to the first time, there were obviously more biological parents and fewer servants.

A parent who had been here once before saw the new buildings and asked if the school was planning to take in more children. Tang Xu smiled but said nothing.

Many people have seen the children's play facilities to some extent, but the paintings on the exterior walls have attracted amazement from those who have never been there.

The parents who had been here once before laughed quietly. They also looked naive when they came here for the first time.

But when they arrived at the classroom, they were amazed again by the paintings that included their own children.

"This is my home. I am smiling happily."

"This is my house! Ouch, why are you crying?"

"Hahaha, your family cries just like mine!"

"My child, oh, here he is, boxing in style."

"It's a really good painting. Everyone says that Madam Du is a master of painting. Seeing it today, it's true."

"Can I take this home? Can you sell me one, Director Tang?"

"I can't sell them. I've only painted so many. When the kids graduate, I'll give each of them a single one."

"That's great! Director Tang, you've worked so hard."

"Are you still accepting the child? I really can't control that brat. I heard that he has become well behaved since he came here. Is that true?"

"It's not that they have become better behaved. Children are energetic and curious, and sometimes they don't mean to make trouble. Kindergarten consumes too much energy of children, so it seems that they have become better behaved. Some people also think that it is also true that children have a bigger appetite here. They are tired and hungry after playing every day, so they eat more."

"So this is ah."

"Yes, the child at home is too noisy. If nothing else, let him run and jump more. He will stop making noise when he is tired."

"Mrs. Du has never given birth to a child, but she is more familiar with these things than we are." A discordant voice sounded.

"Director Tang is a talented and intelligent man. Unlike some people, he leaves his children to servants after they are born and naturally knows nothing." Mrs. Zhao resumed her domineering look, and what was rare was that she actually spoke for Tang Xu.

"Why, the Zhao family is so poor that they don't even have servants, and yet you have to take care of the children yourself?" the woman retorted.

Madam Zhao smiled brightly, looking at the nail polish on her fingertips, "You should take care of your own child. You don't even touch your own child. If the child gets closer to the servants in the future, I don't know who is ridiculous."

Tang Xu agreed with this statement very much and decided to raise the child himself.

"You!" The woman's face turned red with anger, but she didn't know how to refute.

Mrs. Wang's words can make people angry. "Some people are so tongue-tied that they make people anxious. Just stop talking. But they like to stir up trouble. I don't know if they want to make everyone happy or if they are just brave enough." She looked at the lady with contempt in her eyes.

"You guys!" The woman gritted her teeth and wanted to walk away, but her sister-in-law pulled her sleeves. She could only endure it. If her sister-in-law hadn't wanted to come and see her today, she wouldn't have come here.

"Sister-in-law! Don't be fooled by Mrs. Lu." The sister-in-law reminded.

The woman was stunned for a moment, frowned and began to think.

Tang Xu seemed not to notice the quarrel at all, and raised his voice and said, "Do you want to see the vegetables that the children grew themselves? Please follow me."

Seeing that Madam Zhao and Madam Wang were protecting Tang Xu, those who wanted to cause trouble had to consider whether their mouths were sharp enough.
