The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 297 Growth
More than half a year is not a long time.

The one hundred students who entered the Women's Culinary Institute from Shantang felt like they were reborn.

The students eat at least two eggs per person every day (poultry eggs are very cheap in Daxia now, one copper coin can buy two). They have a proper mix of meat and vegetables, and as soon as they keep up with the nutrition, they all grow.

Master Life Coach taught them how to efficiently take care of the dormitory environment and personal hygiene.

Fitting clothes, rosy complexion.

They are no longer the girls who blush and bow their backs when others look at them.

Abdominal poetry and gas from China!
Even if it is just entry-level knowledge learning such as "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames", and "Thousand Character Classic".

The girls’ self-confidence has been restored.

After becoming confident, there were more smiles on their faces.

Most girls' talents in learning to cook are quite good.

For them, what they learned is a skill that will enable them to settle down and make a living in the future. No one does not cherish this hard-won opportunity.

Every night after class, the dormitory is filled with the sound of people practicing their kitchen cutting skills.

They are not the most curly.

The most impressive ones are the girls selected by noble families to learn crafts.

Although most of the girls' parents are considered to be respectable stewards in the house.

But they themselves are not very old, and they are at most a third-class girl in the house.

For a few years, I didn’t have to wait on my master, but my master taught me how to cook every day.

Can studying art be more tiring than working?
These little girls, who have always been naughty in the past!

After arriving at the academy, the private competition became even more fierce.

Everyone wants to return to the house and become a first-class maid after graduation!

If you want to please your masters, you must capture their appetites.

Healthy competition is what Cuihua hopes to see as the mountain leader.

The rules of the culinary academy are still very strict.

In class: Don’t be late, don’t leave early, don’t be absent from class, and ask for leave before class; during class, don’t do anything unrelated to classroom teaching.

Dormitory and canteen: Keep the dormitory clean and beautiful, and develop good personal hygiene habits; be thrifty and cherish food.

College Activities: Behave appropriately, and students are strictly prohibited from hitting or scolding each other.

If they make mistakes on weekdays, they will be deducted points. If they deduct more than ten points a year, they will be expelled from school.

This is not the era of compulsory education. If you don't abide by the rules of the college, you may be sent back to your place of origin at any time.

No matter whether they are from the charity hall or the girls from the noble family, they don't dare to make mistakes.

The courses in the college are divided into three categories: the first category is cultural courses and arithmetic; the second category is the practice of basic skills; and the third category is professional courses.

Students in professional courses can choose 1-4 cuisines for in-depth study based on their interests and expertise.

When they get up every morning, there are assistant teachers who lead them to boxing and exercise. For cooks, kneading dough and using spoons are all strenuous tasks.

Not many people choose the one-year and three-year courses, and most students choose the five-year course.

In such a pure learning place, everyone wants to study longer.

The college's professional programs consist of the following departments:

Four major local specialty cuisines: Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, and Huaiyang cuisine;

Aunt Qiu teaches: Department of Medicinal Diet and Imperial Diet;

Professor Fan Jingjing’s: Department of Vegetarian Food and Snacks;
Cuihua’s own courses are: confinement meals, creative cuisine;
Led by Yao: Pastry department. Each department has a department chair, who reports to Shan Chang Cuihua, and also has an academic supervisor (Empress Gao's spokesperson).

There is one director of life education and ten life education wives (older maids from the palace).

The organizational structure of the college is relatively simple, and they are still trying to cross the river by feeling the stones.

The chief of the mountain has a monthly bundle of fifty taels of silver, the head of the department has a monthly bundle of twenty-five taels of silver, and the master's monthly bundle of repairs has twenty taels of silver for each person.

Food, clothing and accommodation are free. Teachers and students have four days off every month and seven days off during the Chinese New Year.

All the accounts of the college are coordinated by the superintendent, who teaches education.

This year is considered the first year, and if the cost of the college's house is not included, there is still a surplus in the income and expenditure.

Starting from the second year, each master will have a free recommended student quota, and the courses can be chosen as desired.

These benefits are better than those offered by many men's imperial examination colleges, and the wives who come in have no objections.

There are only two hundred students now, and the teachers each receive only two classes a day, leaving a lot of free time.

After their free time, they either teach each other to improve their cooking skills, or use their weekends to get familiar with the capital.

Most people are considering moving their hometowns here so that they no longer have to worry about life.

Yao, who had already relaxed, has become nervous again recently.

Without him, Dayao's seventh provincial examination is about to begin.

I still remember that when she came to the capital for the re-examination, Dayao vowed to give her a guarantee:

"Madam, don't worry and go to the capital. After you leave, my sons and I will have food and accommodation in the college. Madam doesn't need to worry about anything. Our family will definitely get together in the capital this year. You can rent a yard for our family in the capital first. Jing Good news for the future husband.”

Although Yao made a good promise with his mouth, he had no idea in his heart.

It's not that I don't believe in Dayao's writing skills, but that his unlucky pre-examination problems caused a deep shadow.

Not only did Dayao persuade her, but her three sons also assured her that they were all eldest children who could take care of themselves.

If their mother can successfully apply to become the wife of a culinary school, they will all benefit.

In seven months, Yao had saved one hundred and sixty-three taels of silver.

Food, clothing, and housing are all at the college, so it really doesn't cost much money.

As the head of the pastry department, these six months may have been the easiest time she has had in the years since she was married.

With three nutritious and healthy meals, normal work and rest schedules, and a light workload, Mr. Yao's complexion became much rosier.

After getting along, her smile started to increase. She looked seven or eight years younger than before, and she finally looked as good as she should have been for her age.

Dayao, whom she was thinking about, really hadn't taken a step out of the house before the exam this time.

Until the first night of the provincial examination, I was escorted to the examination room by my eldest son and second son.
Unlike Yao who was worried, Mi's children were all in the capital, and she was focused on being a wife.

The level of cooking is much better than before.

His son, Mi Shutian, studied voraciously at the academy and was very happy.

He spent all day and night at the college, forgetting to eat and sleep. In the past, Mi brought his sister to see him.

When he was in Ningjiang Prefecture, he was called "Sai Zhuge" by his classmates. When he arrived in the capital, he discovered that there were many smart and hard-working people everywhere.

In the first three months of the monthly exams, he got average grades. He no longer dared to be clever and immersed himself in studying.

After finally taking the test in half a year, he was relieved to get fifth place in his class in the college.

During this weekend, Mi took Yaya and her son Mi Shutian to visit the capital.
