After hiding in the capital for twenty days, Ma Xiaolong returned to the base villa first after returning to the town, and then asked Li Xin to go back to the riverside to inquire about the news and see if those who blocked the door had left?
Li Xin returned to Heyan's home for a long time and found no suspicious people. He inquired with the neighbors and learned that those who blocked the door had left one after another. Until a week ago, no one came to block the door at all.
Li Xin called Ma Xiaolong and passed on the news.
After learning about the situation, Ma Xiaolong took Zhu Sha and Chen Jun back home. After not going home for a month, the house was covered with a layer of dust, so several people worked together to clean the inside and outside of the house.
When he was halfway through the job, Zhusha beat his waist and said, "No, I can't be the only one to suffer!"
"What do you want to do?" Ma Xiaolong was stunned.
"Of course I'm looking for someone to suffer with me." Zhu Sha took out her cell phone and made a call.
Ten minutes later, Dai Yu came over wearing dirty clothes.
"Come on, come on, your job is the easiest, go and mop the floor clean." Zhu Sha handed her the mop soaked in water.
"..." Dai Yu sighed and mopped the floor honestly.
I have all my dirty clothes on, so why don’t I get to work?
With Dai Yu's participation, the cleaning progress improved a lot. Before dark, the inside and outside of the house were cleaned, and everyone was sweating.
"Thank you for your hard work." Ma Xiaolong said to the girls: "Let's all take a bath. Today we will go out to eat hot pot chicken."
This year, there is a trend of eating spicy hot pot chicken in the town. There are several hot pot chicken restaurants on almost every street. It is summer vacation and the weather is hot. Many locals will go to the roadside in groups at night.
Eat hot pot chicken in a small shop.
Seeing that the summer vacation was coming to an end, Ma Xiaolong planned to take the girls out for a hot pot chicken dinner as a team building event.
"Okay!" When they heard that they were going to eat out, the girls, who had not eaten out for a long time, were very happy. Although the food cooked by Ma Xiaolong was delicious, they were still very happy to have a meal outside once in a while.
Looking forward to.
It took almost an hour for the girls to wash themselves in the bathroom, apply perfume, put on new clothes, and meet in the living room feeling refreshed.
At this time, Zhang Chiling also came back. When she learned that everyone was going out to eat hot pot chicken, she smiled and declined their invitation: "I'm a little tired today and want to go to bed early. You go! Remember to lock the door when you leave."
"Mom, what did you do today?" Seeing that she was really tired, Ma Xiaolong stepped forward and performed acupressure on her for a while: "Why are you so tired?"
"Isn't the training center turned into a school now? Mom has been discussing with the Education Bureau this time. In the future, the school will be turned into a vocational school. It will not only train students in professional knowledge of music, but also provide corresponding cultural education.
Class, this matter is almost discussed. If nothing happens, we will get the qualification tomorrow and then we can officially recruit students."
"Oh?" Ma Xiaolong was a little surprised and said, "Mom, have you thought about it? If it is changed to this kind of school, the time and energy required will not be the same as before."
"I've thought about it." Zhang Zhiling said with a smile: "It's rare that the school is large enough, and Mom also hopes to make the best use of it. However, in the future, we will only recruit children of employees in the base, and we will only provide education from kindergarten to elementary school. Junior high school will still have to go to the town."
school."
"Mom, I think since kindergarten to primary school are already covered, why not create a one-stop service and directly cover middle schools and universities?" Ma Xiaolong said after thinking.
"The space is not enough." Zhang Chiling shook her head and said, "Not only is the venue a problem, the teaching staff are not up to par."
"That's not a problem." Ma Xiaolong said: "The base is originally as big as a county. It won't be a problem if hundreds of thousands of people live in it. With so many people, just giving birth to children every year will cost 18,000! So.
If you have more children, how can it be enough if you don’t build more schools? Originally, I was planning to build a school. Since you have this idea, Mom, I will build you a professional music school. You will specialize in cultivating music-related talents. Among the teachers,
I'll help you solve it."
"Is it possible?" Zhang Chiling was stunned.
"Why not?" Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "I will find someone to handle this matter later. Just cooperate with me."
Zhang Chiling was silent for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "Mom just wants to make the best use of everything, but you are burdening me."
"Those who are able should work harder!" Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "Don't worry, kindergarten and primary school combined will take seven or eight years to complete. Middle schools and universities are slowly being built. I will designate a piece of land around your school.
Specialized schools and universities will be built, but professional colleges will not need to recruit too many students and will be relatively smaller in scale."
"It doesn't matter if you are small. Learning music is quite expensive. We don't have many children from rich families, so it's almost enough." Zhang Chiling said.
No matter in any era, art-related majors are affordable for children from wealthy families. Ordinary and poor families don't even think about it. Middle-class families have to grit their teeth to send their children to art schools.
Why? Because once you learn something like art and become famous, you can earn money that a middle-class family will not be able to earn in ten lifetimes. The training fee is just a drop in the bucket compared to the money you will earn in the future.
Therefore, when many families have money, the first thing they think about is not to let their children go to Tsinghua University or Peking University, but to find ways to cultivate their children's artistic talents in various aspects such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting sounds elegant, and rich people like to be arty. Even the children of businessmen want their children to have some attainments in art. At least they have to write well, otherwise how can they put on a facade? What about you?
Do you need to learn calligraphy?
Regardless of whether you are literate or uneducated, they will unconsciously have the idea that "words are like people". If your handwriting is beautiful, even if you are a bit ugly, they will think you are a good person.
On the contrary, no matter how handsome you are, if your handwriting looks like a dog crawling, they will compliment you on the surface but despise you secretly: It turns out that you are a silver pewter spear head.
So don't look down on the second and third generations. They may indeed be different people, but the education and training they received since childhood are beyond the reach of ordinary families. Even if Xun Duxun is versatile, it is difficult for ordinary people to compare with them.
Once Zhang Chiling's music school is established in a systematic manner, let alone making money, the social level and social relationships that it will come into contact with in the future will be ahead of ordinary people.
If there are students who become big stars or artists in the future, and these students have a more grateful heart to respect their teachers, Zhang Chiling's social relations will be greatly improved. When she really encounters something, she will blame these students
, as long as the matter is not too difficult, he will basically try his best to help her solve the problem.
But don’t think too darkly. Even if Zhang Chiling asks students for help, she will most likely want to donate money and materials to impoverished mountainous areas and organize charity dinners and other activities, which will only benefit these students, without harm.
With Ma Xiaolong here, it is impossible for Zhang Chiling to seek benefits from the students.
"Okay, this matter is settled. I will find someone to handle it later." Ma Xiaolong smiled slightly, massaged Zhang Chiling's head a few more times, and asked: "Mom, you really don't want to go out to eat with us?"
"No." Zhang Zhiling smiled and said: "Okay, you go quickly! Mom will take a bath in a while and will go to bed."
"Okay!" Ma Xiaolong said: "Zhu Sha bought a lot of pastries in the capital and put them in the refrigerator. If you are hungry, just put them on the table! I will prepare something delicious for you tomorrow morning."
"Yeah." Zhang Chiling patted his hand with a smile and said, "Okay, go quickly!"
Just leave.
Ma Xiaolong drove the electric nanny car and drove Zhu Sha, Chen Jun, Dai Yu and Li Xin straight to Tianbo Square.
Tianbo Plaza is the earliest and largest commercial plaza in the area. It has been standing in the town for many years as long as Ma Xiaolong can remember. Although Tianbo Plaza has lost its former glory, it is only a hundred meters away from the town train station.
It is only a few meters away, so this is still the most lively and prosperous commercial street in the area. Especially at night, at the intersection, there are men, women, and children going out to eat in all directions and crowding the streets.
When Ma Xiaolong came here with his four girls, there were open-air snack bars everywhere on both sides of the road, filled with tables, chairs and benches. Many people came to these open-air snack bars with their families and friends to eat and drink. The weather was hot, and there were many two and three children.
The ten-year-old man was shirtless and didn't care about his image at all.
Men in this era really don’t pay much attention to their image. Being shirtless is not because of society or anything, but simply because it’s too hot. It’s hot, so isn’t it normal to be shirtless!
Ma Xiaolong drove the car and soon stopped in front of a shop selling hot pot chicken. There were two tables for eight people and two tables for six people in front of the shop. There were also several dining tables in the shop. Guests could choose according to their needs.
Need to choose where to sit?
As soon as a few people got out of the car, they immediately attracted the attention of many people around them. There was no way, the young handsome guys and beauties went out to eat in a group, and the eye-catching rate exceeded 500%. If Ma Xiaolong hadn't used invisibility to reduce his presence, it wouldn't be just
It was so eye-catching that it turned into a large-scale star-chasing scene in minutes.
"Are we outside or inside?" Ma Xiaolong asked several girls.
"Be inside!" Cinnabar said: "There is a ceiling fan inside, but there is nothing outside."
"Then let's go inside." Ma Xiaolong walked over and said to the boss: "Boss, there are five of us, put on the biggest pot and have ten fried sesame cakes. What's the drink?"
"Coke, Sprite, ice tea, orange juice."
"No carbonated drinks, ice tea and orange juice! Ten cans of ice tea, two liters of orange juice? Then one bottle!" After ordering, Ma Xiaolong and the other five walked to an empty table and sat down.
The waiter quickly brought out chopsticks and a bowl filled with vinegar.
Because spicy hot pot chicken is numb and spicy, which is not friendly to local people who are accustomed to eating salty food, local restaurants also came up with a way to reduce the spiciness, which is to dip it in vinegar.
Vinegar can effectively reduce the spiciness of hot pot chicken, allowing locals who are not used to eating it to enjoy a few pieces of meat.
Not long after, ready-made hot-pot dishes, ten fried sesame cakes, and drinks were placed on the dining table. Just waiting for the hot pot chicken to be served, you could start enjoying the delicious food.
It was the first time for Dai Yu to go out to eat with friends, and it felt very fresh. Of course, the same was true for Chen Jun. The two girls were looking forward to this dinner party the most.
In comparison, when Ma Xiaolong was in elementary school, he and Zhu Sha often went out to eat, especially at the restaurant owned by Zhu Zhiqiang. At that time, Ma Xiaolong really saw a lot of monsters and monsters.
And Li Xin doesn't look at the honesty of "filial son", but in the past ten years, he often went out with his younger brother to drink skewers. Today this dinner is completely a small scene for her. It is not worth mentioning.
She skillfully unscrewed the cap of the orange juice bottle and poured a glass for her master's wife, her aunt, and her aunt. The master and she didn't like orange juice very much, so they didn't pour it. They just drank iced ice tea.
Soon, the hot pot chicken was served. There was a gas stove in the middle of the dining table. The waiter lit the gas stove with a lighter, put the hot pot on it and said, "Please use it slowly."
As the hot pot boiled and the aroma emerged, Ma Xiaolong smiled and said, "Eat some meat first, and then rinse the vegetables."
The girls nodded one after another, picked up some fragrant chicken nuggets from the full pot, rinsed them in a bowl of vinegar, and then put them in their mouths to chew.
"Hmm~" The girls' scalps suddenly went numb, and the strong spicy smell made all of them blush, and hot sweat overflowed from their foreheads: "It's so spicy!"
Although a lot of the spicy taste has been removed with vinegar, the remaining spicy taste is still unbearable for the girls.
There's no way around it. They've been eating salty rice since they were young. It's not that they can't eat spicy food, but they can only eat a little bit of it. And eating spicy food is not for 'eating', it's just to enhance the taste.
But the spicy hot pot chicken they were eating now, the spiciness completely took away the limelight of the chicken, which they couldn't accept.
"It's so spicy! It's too spicy! Why is it so spicy!?" Zhu Sha, Chen Jun and Dai Yu hurriedly picked up the orange juice and poured it into their mouths. Although it was better, their mouths were still numb and spicy, and they made them cry.
Out.
"Is it that spicy?" Ma Xiaolong and Li Xin ate quite deliciously.
It’s not because Ma Xiaolong was used to eating spicy food in his previous life, but because he has a special constitution. As we all know, spicy food is not affected by the taste, but by the sense of pain. However, Ma Xiaolong has already mastered the golden bell, and what he is least afraid of is pain. This is spicy.
The taste cannot harm him, but the spiciness adds some texture to him.
Li Xin is also not afraid of spicy food. He grew up in the Northeast and ate a lot of spicy food, so he is not afraid of spicy food at all. On the contrary, because he has not eaten spicy food for a long time since he came to the small town, he suddenly tasted such spicy hot pot chicken.
, and naturally enjoyed the meal.
"Why are you two not afraid of spicy food at all?" Zhu Sha stuck out her tongue and said, "I have eaten spicy food before, but this is too spicy and I can't stand it."
"Me too." Dai Yu wiped his tears and his eyes turned into rabbits: "This level of spiciness is simply anti-human, how can you eat it!?"
Chen Jun silently wiped his tears and nodded silently.
