A year later, the original Xiangyi Zhai had expanded to three times its original area. Lu Yao bought the shops on the left and right, opened them up, and built a shop!
During this period, all the little beggars who were first recruited by Lu Yao to help Xiangyi Zhai were taught by Lu Yao and were able to cook spoons. Now they can cook more than ten signature dishes of Xiangyi Zhai.
With the three of them around, Lu Yao felt relaxed. He traveled from time to time, tasted delicious food from various places, and added what he liked to Xiangyi Zhai's menu.
Lu Xin heard that Lu Yao was going to build a school on Jiudong Street. Lu Xin immediately invested money. With Lu Xin's participation, the preparation of the school became smoother.
Originally, Lu Yao only planned to repair the dilapidated temple on Jiudong Street, buy some tables, chairs, books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and hire a teacher.
After Lu Xin joined, he built a dormitory behind the ruined temple, which was all decorated with Datong shops and equipped with brand-new pillows and bedding.
If you are a homeless beggar, you can stay in the dormitory.
Moreover, there is a kitchen in the dormitory with ten stoves, a well in the yard, and firewood in the woodshed, so everyone can boil water for bathing.
In this way, the homeless children can be given a place to stay. Everyone affectionately calls Lu Xin and Lu Yao Dean Lu.
Lu Yao named the academy Ziqiang Academy.
Ziqiang Academy ordered three meals from three restaurants and delivered them on time every day.
In addition, three new outfits are made every season.
The little beggars on Jiudong Street heard that Ziqiang Academy not only provided free study, but also provided food and clothing, so they signed up one by one.
Lu Xin and Lu Yao originally only hired one gentleman, but when they saw that the number of applicants had reached sixty, they planned to recruit another one.
Mr. Ziqiang Academy's salary is twenty taels per month, three meals, and three new sets of clothes made every quarter.
Many scholars from poor families came to apply for jobs!
Yan Yiyi looked at Lu Xin and Lu Yao sitting behind the desk in the academy. At this time, they were only fourteen or nine years old.
However, they each have a lot of golden light on their shoulders, all of which are golden lights of merit.
As long as you do good deeds, God will not favor anyone, and your merits will never be less.
Yan Yiyi looked at the golden light of merit on the two of them and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Good deeds are rewarded with good deeds, Lu Xin and Lu Yao will have a good future."
Lu Xin looked at the scholar first in line and asked, "How do you plan to teach these students after coming from Qiang Academy?"
Lu Xin asked with a straight face. Lu Xin was not very old, but he had been in the mall for three years and had a great aura. The scholar was not very courageous at all. When he was frightened by Lu Xin, he stuttered even more.
"Xiao and Xiaosheng will do their best to teach them everything I know."
Lu Xin turned his head and looked at Lu Yao: "Fifth brother, what do you think of him?"
Lu Yao shook his head and whispered: "Brother, this is a weak scholar. He is so timid. He will definitely not be able to intimidate those students in Ziqiang Academy.
Most of the students in the academy are little beggars, and there are many thorns in them."
Lu Xin nodded, and at the same time he secretly looked at his fifth brother with admiration. He was a good person.
"Next." Lu Xin said.
The first scholar sighed and left, and then the second one came forward.
Lu Yao recognized it at a glance: "Sun Rupei?"
Sun Rupei smiled and nodded at Lu Yao.
"Don't you want to take the science test too?" Lu Yao asked.
Sun Rupei's knowledge was one of the best in Zhengsong Academy. Lu Yao felt sorry for such a talent because he did not take scientific examinations.
Sun Rupei saw Lu Yao's thoughts at a glance and explained: "There are still two years left for the general examination. Let's go to Qiang Academy to make some money to make ends meet. People have to survive first, right?"
Lu Yao nodded, and then asked Lu Xin's question again: "How do you plan to teach these students after coming from Qiang Academy?"
As soon as Lu Yao finished speaking, he saw that Sun Rupei, who had been smiling just now, turned cold, and his eyes were now sharp. At that moment, Lu Yao somehow thought of the gentleman from Zhengsong Academy, and his back straightened.
Sun Rupei took out a ruler and said: "Those who are disobedient, this ruler will definitely tell them to listen carefully to the class!"
