The Little Lucky Girl

Ming Youyou asked in confusion: "What's going on over there? It's quite interesting." She had even eaten a lot.

"Haven't you met any strange people?" The student lowered his voice and asked mysteriously.

She blinked. "An old grandfather and an older brother, does that count?"

"Are the old man's hair, beard and eyebrows all white?" the student asked in a trembling voice.

Seeing her nod, the student screamed, turned around and ran away desperately.

Ming Youyou was stunned. Just then, the bell rang. She thought the exam was over, so she didn't delay any longer and ran towards the exam room.

Zheng Huan and the others still had smiles on their faces when they came out, and it seemed that they did well in the exam.

Feng Xu yelled, "Hurry, hurry, get back to the carriage. I'm almost starving to death."

It's impossible to go fast because there's still half a mountain to go.

By the time they climbed onto the carriage, several of them were so hungry and tired that they were almost exhausted. They quickly took out the things in the packages and shared them to eat.

With a little idea in mind, Lu Tai couldn't help talking about the exam. "'He who knows his foolishness is not really foolish; he who knows his confusion is not really confused.' How do you explain this sentence? I didn't expect that the big question would come from Zhuangzi. I guess many students didn't get it right."

Zheng Huan said, "It's not bad. There are many examples in the Analects. The last essay question, 'If a person's conduct is upright, he will act without being told; if a person's conduct is not upright, he will not act despite being told.' I think many people can answer it."

Feng Xu said angrily: "Are you two done yet? Do you know how annoying it is to check questions after the exam?"

In order to express his hurt feelings, he snatched the unfinished snacks from their hands.

Seeing this, Ming Youyou gave her share to Zheng Huan and Lu Tai.

The two of them hastily declined, "Why don't you eat? We still have a long way to go home."

Ming Youyou said with a smile that she was not hungry, "I just ate a lot of sweet fruits."

She then told him what happened in the back mountain.

Zheng Huan asked, "Who do you think that old man is?"

"Who cares who he is? He must be someone who is familiar with Principal Pei, otherwise how would he even know his nickname?" Feng Xu pushed him aside and approached Ming Youyou and said:

"You said that young man disappeared as soon as he turned around. Oh, so his Qinggong skills must be very high. Can you introduce him to me next time you see him?"

Lu Tai's eyes also gleamed with gossip, "Why did the student who showed you the way run away? There seems to be a secret in the back mountain. Wait for me to come back and ask around."

Several people had a lot of questions, but no answers.

Ming Youyou opened his mouth and simply added another one, "Who do you think that 'raccoon slave' refers to? It sounds like a high-ranking official to me."

Zheng Huan frowned, "This is a nickname, there are many people called this. I have an uncle who was called this when he was a child."

Lu Tai chuckled and said, "But there is a 'raccoon slave' that we all know."

"Who is it?" Ming Youyou asked.

This time, the other three people were in tacit understanding and didn't say anything. They all pointed to the sky and blinked at her frantically.

She understood and covered her mouth with her hands and laughed. The few people stopped talking about this topic and started discussing the scenery of the academy.

Zheng Huan said: "There are advantages to building the academy high up. I heard from a senior student who led us that in the early morning, if you stand on the big rock in front of the main gate, you can see the sea of ​​clouds."

Lu Tai said: "It would be quite interesting to recite the book while appreciating the sea of ​​clouds."

"Why do I have to memorize the book? Wouldn't it be better to eat and enjoy the view?"

Ming Youyou's proposal was strongly supported by Feng Xu. He said that he would do the same next time and only bring up food for the two of them.

"That depends on whether we can pass the exam or we won't be eligible to come here next time." Lu Tai said with a little concern.

The test results will be announced three days later, and those who have passed the test can just look at the class placement results directly.

If you fail the exam, the academy will send someone to quietly notify your home, and you naturally don't have to go again.

Zheng Huan and the other two were still a little worried, so they spent the past few days in a state of uneasiness. They simply went to work in the fields. They were so tired that they stopped having any random thoughts in their minds.

Ming Youyou felt much more at ease. Lord Tao only said that she should go to the county government office to study during her day off. But now is not her day off, hehe.

She just stared at the tofu blocks at home, watching as fine white hairs grew on them little by little.

In the middle of the process, she couldn't help but call Jia Er over. After all, she always felt a little uncomfortable seeing this hairy thing.

As a result, Jia Er told her that this was not enough, and then she waited until a lot of fine white hairs grew on the tofu, covering the tofu and making it invisible.

There are also some black particles distributed on the hair. The system says that these are called spores, which is also a sign that the hairy tofu is mature.

Zheng Huan and the others finally understood why she had been running to the kitchen mysteriously these past two days. When they saw the hairy tofu, they shouted, "How can we eat it after it's like this?"

Then when Jia Er started frying with oil and a strange fragrance filled the kitchen, no one objected.

Zheng Huan whispered, "We've all eaten stinky tofu, this is nothing."

Lu Tai also said: "We are not afraid of fried bugs, they are just hairs."

Feng Xu remembered that he had never eaten stinky tofu, and said angrily that he wanted to have the first bite of this.

So the few people showed no resistance as expected and rushed to finish the first plate.

Jia Er watched them eat with a smile. As he smiled, he quietly turned around and wiped the corners of his eyes with his hands.

Knowing that there was a new food, Village Chief Guo immediately brought his uncle over. Even though they were over fifty years old and knowledgeable, they fell silent when they saw the tofu with a thick layer of fluff.

Village Chief Guo quietly pulled Ming Youyou aside and asked, "Is this food really okay?"

Ming Youyou nodded, "We ate it yesterday, and there's nothing wrong with our bodies. You'll know when you take a bite."

Village chief Guo was tempted.

Now tea stalls have been built in each village and they have competition. The hairy tofu is a special feature.

The uncle was thinking more, "What if someone uses this to make a fuss and deliberately says that someone got sick from eating our food?"

Zheng Huan and the other two discussed it and said, "We can first report it to the county government office and ask the clinic to identify it. Once they are sure it is harmless to the body, we can sell it."

Ming Youyou also thought about it and said, "Let's eat it first after it's ready. If there's a problem, then everyone has a problem. If everyone is fine but that guest has a problem, then he must be faking it."

Seeing that everyone had thought of a comprehensive solution, the uncle nodded and said, "Okay, let's give it a try."

The old man thought this dish was very suitable for his teeth, but unfortunately he was too conservative and didn't dare to eat more.

He directed Village Chief Guo to bring up a large plate of raw tofu and said, "Let's show it to everyone to open their eyes first." Then the two of them went back happily.
