When Ludi saw Sun Mo's gaze drifting toward the basin at the side, his spirits immediately stirred. (Is there finally a chance for me to display my strong points?)
(Speaking of educating people, I might be a salted fish. But when it comes to stewing pig trotters, sorry, I can confidently say that everyone here is trash no matter where!)
"Teacher Sun, this is the pig trotters I stewed. I used a newly developed recipe to increase the comfort of the taste and neutralize the excess oil. This way, there's no need to worry about gaining weight."
Ludi smiled as he introduced. He opened the basin and a fragrance immediately permeated the air.
Jin Mujie couldn't help but sniff.
It smelled so good!
However, what was even more amazing was the heat. The skin and meat were soft but not mushy. This was especially so for the oil in the bones. The special fragrance fused with the meat, adding to the flavor.
"..."
Sun Mo assessed Ludi. (As expected, you were a great chef in your previous life, right?) After that, you became a teacher after getting shot in the knee.
"Teacher Jin, why don't you try a piece?"
Ludi recommended. "Usually, people don't dare to eat too much because they're afraid of getting fat. But there's no need to worry no matter how much you eat the pig trotters I stewed."
Jin Mujie sneaked a glance at Sun Mo and rejected. (How can I eat pig trotters in front of Sun Mo?) (That would affect my image as a woman.)
"Teacher Lu!"
Sun Mo deliberated over his words on how not to hurt Ludi's pride.
Ludi immediately sat up straight, putting on a look of humility. "Teacher Sun, please guide me!"
"Your aptitude isn't bad. As long as you put in more effort on your path as a great teacher, you'll be able to achieve success."
Sun Mo persuaded.
"Teacher Sun, I know what I'm like."
Ludi smiled in self-mockery.
"Teacher Lu, you've experienced working hard to your limits before, right?"
Sun Mo asked.
Ludi fell silent. He immediately recalled back then when his father was sick and he could only take care of the family business. At that time, he didn't sleep or rest for five days and braised countless pig trotters.
It was also at that time that his skills improved tremendously and he could even graduate from his teacher's tutelage.
"Use the time you spend braising pig trotters to improve yourself!"
Sun Mo patted Ludi's shoulder. "You're a teacher after all. Don't waste your talent!"
Ludi was silent.
"Lu shi, stop thinking about those unorthodox means. It's useless. Whether you can stay in the academy or not will depend on your capabilities."
Jin Mujie's words were a little sharp, but they were the truth.
"Jin shi, I have benefited from your teachings!"
Ludi hurriedly stood up and bowed. He knew that Jin Mujie only said this because of Sun Mo.
"Which master teacher are you currently following?"
Jin Mujie asked.
"It's Zhou Shanyi, Master Teacher Zhou!"
When Ludi mentioned this name, he felt depressed again because this great teacher was a colleague who sat in the same office as Sun Mo.
Jin Mujie nodded and didn't say anything else. However, Ludi grew excited.
This was how important characters were. They wouldn't go overboard with their words. However, Ludi knew that Jin Mujie would definitely mention him to Teacher Zhou in private.
Given Jin Mujie's status in the Central Province Academy, Zhou Shanyi would definitely have to give her face. This way, he would be able to get more opportunities in the future.
At the very least, he could put more effort into accumulating experience and not use braising pig trotters to curry favor with Zhou Shanyi. Only then could he obtain a good evaluation from him.
The conversation ended happily.
After Ludi left the villa, he was so happy that it felt like there was a little bird hiding in his heart. He couldn't help but want to sing. Sun Mo was also quite easy to get along with!
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Ludi + 100. Friendly (430/1,000).
"I have to work harder so that I can live in a luxurious mansion in the future, rear beautiful maids, and live a life above others."
Ludi waved his fist to encourage himself. (When I become famous, I also want to chat happily with beautiful great teachers like Jin Mujie.)
In the villa, Sun Mo looked at Jin Mujie. "Is there no problem?"
"I'm only mentioning this to Teacher Zhou to give Ludi more opportunities."
Jin Mujie no longer took in intern teachers, but she had experienced it before. Therefore, she knew that it wasn't easy to make a living as an intern teacher. If they were to have a harsh teacher, it would simply be torture. They would have to work tirelessly every day and would even have to suffer scolding. Most importantly, they wouldn't be able to learn any experience.
"Actually, I'm doing something unnecessary. Given your current fame, you just have to mention this to Teacher Zhou, and he would be very willing to take care of Ludi."
Jin Mujie smiled sweetly.
Sun Mo's future was destined to be boundless. If Zhou Shanyi saw this opportunity to do him a favor, he would definitely grab it.
"Many thanks, Teacher Jin."
Sun Mo drank a mouthful of tea. "If you have any instructions in the future, feel free to tell me!"
"You're treating me like an outsider by saying thanks. Give me a full massage!"
Jin Mujie touched her face. "It's mainly that skin beautifying technique. I've been overworking myself recently and I feel that I have dark circles under my eyes."
"Alright!"
Sun Mo nodded. Giving Jin Mujie a massage was a type of enjoyment. After all, her figure was too fiery, especially her butt. Compared to Gu Xiuxun's perky butt, it was a different kind of charm.
Jin Mujie's eyes brightened. "How about now?"
Let alone women who yearned for eternal youth, even men yearned to be able to pee in the wind for the rest of their lives!
"Let's go!"
Jin Mujie couldn't wait any longer. She pulled Sun Mo's hand and headed upstairs.
Speaking of which, Sun Mo's finger bones weren't bad. They were slender, strong, perfectly curved, and moderately hard. How good would it be if she could collect one of them?
However, it was fine. When Jin Mujie thought of how she would be able to enjoy the massage of these finger bones later, she suddenly felt a little agitated.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Jin Mujie + 100. Friendly (3,460/10000).
"Eh?"
Sun Mo was stunned. It wasn't because Jin Mujie contributed favorable impression points. Rather, he sensed that this beautiful teacher suddenly increased her strength when she pulled his fingers. Moreover, she seemed to be stroking them.
At the next instant, Sun Mo felt a chill run down his spine.
He hadn't forgotten that Jin Mujie was a woman who had a fetish for collecting bones.
"She couldn't be thinking of chopping off my fingers and soaking them in formalin, right?"
Sun Mo wasn't so narcissistic that Jin Mujie would fall in love with him.
The massage soon started.
Jin Mujie knew that there was a maid in the villa. Therefore, she reminded herself not to call out. However, as Sun Mo's hands were placed on her body, that comfortable feeling grew increasingly stronger. Halfway through, she couldn't help but moan.
Outside the guest room, Dong He's ears were pressed against the wooden door, listening to the movements inside. An astonished expression appeared on her face.
(It can't be, right? Master actually slept with a 3-star great teacher?)
Hearing this sound, Teacher Jin seemed to be having a good time!
Dong He's face was flushed red and her mouth was dry. She couldn't help but clamp her legs together. She wanted to leave, but the desire to eavesdrop on the wall made her unable to extricate herself.
"Master is so awesome. He can even conquer a top-grade woman like Jin Mujie. No wonder he doesn't like me."
Dong He's heart was filled with a strong sense of disappointment.
Although Dong He had only been Sun Mo's maid for a few days, Jin Mujie was too famous. Because she was beautiful and powerful, she was one of the main characters in the Central Province Academy. Therefore, Dong He knew a lot of gossip about her.
"Aiya, I heard that Jin Mujie likes to collect bones. She wouldn't love Master so much that she would kill Master and turn him into a skeleton, right?"
Dong He started to worry.
...
Days of vacation were very enjoyable. But what was even more enjoyable than that?
It was when one had a lot of money and could go on vacation. They could buy whatever they wanted and play whatever they wanted. There was basically no need to worry about not having enough money to spend.
Right now, Sun Mo had a few benefits.
The spirit stone vein in the Wind King Divine Hall was considered a strategic resource and wasn't for sale. Hence, he had no way to convert it into cash. However, Sun Mo had invested in An Xinhui.
The giant medicine packet workshop had officially started production, and the supply couldn't meet the demand. Sun Mo would be able to get a few hundred thousand taels of silver every month.
Once the workshop expanded, this amount would increase tremendously. However, Sun Mo didn't take this sum of money. Instead, he got An Xinhui to invest more. He wanted to quickly occupy the market and expand the Central Province Academy's influence.
Money?
Sun Mo didn't lack it. What he lacked was talent. As the giant medicine packet sold well and became a household name, those students of a suitable age would definitely think of the Central Province Academy when they were choosing to enroll in a school.
This was Sun Mo's ultimate goal.
Why would students want to come to your school?
Because you could practically bring benefits to them. In terms of great teachers, given the Central Province Academy's current wealth and reputation, they still wouldn't be able to headhunt high-star great teachers. Hence, Sun Mo could only use benefits to tempt the students.
Every month, every student would be given a giant medicine packet for free. If their results were at the top, the amount would be doubled. This was definitely a great attraction.
Other than this, Sun Mo still had over two million taels of cash. All of them were stored in the Central Province Academy's treasury. One was the loot he got from killing Daoist White Bird, and the other was the share of the profits he got from the Jinling Governor after the Zhou Clan was raided.
This amount of money was sufficient for Sun Mo to play around in the top brothels in Jinling. However, he didn't indulge himself like that. Instead, he went to the old headmaster's private library to make the best use of his time to improve himself.
After all, there were only two months left before the 1-star great teacher examination.
The days of reading alone were happy. The only problem was that the guardian warrior that was over two meters tall kept peeping at him.
...
As the new year approached, Qi Siyuan left the school in advance and returned home. On the second day, he put on a light coat and equipped himself with a famed blade. He rode a handsome horse and headed straight for the Drunken Immortal Inn.
It was because a few good friends had set up a banquet here to welcome him back.
"Brother Qi, you've come late!"
"It's been a year since we last met. Brother Qi, you're even more radiant than before!"
"Brother Qi, quickly, let's drink to the brim!"
Sumptuous dishes were soon placed on the dining table. Good wine was served, and everyone started to drink to their heart's content.
Qi Siyuan's character was very good. Moreover, his mother was the elder sister who had the best relationship with the Great Tang's Majesty. Therefore, as a member of the royal family, his status was even more respected than some princes.
After three rounds of wine, five dishes were served.
After Qi Siyuan talked about some trifling matters in the school, someone spoke up.
"Brother Qi, I heard that Her Highness has been staying at your place recently. Why didn't you bring her along? Let everyone witness this pure and innocent Her Highness! "
After a round-faced young man said this, the countenance of Bai Ziyu, who was sitting next to Qi Siyuan, changed as he bellowed.
"Bian Yuanshan, have you drunk too much?"
As Bai Ziyu spoke, he even sneaked a look at Qi Siyuan's expression. He knew how much this good friend doted on his cousin.
Bian Yuanshan's tone and content of asking Qi Siyuan's younger sister to come out to meet him was just like how one would usually ask for a famous prostitute. It was a little less frivolous.
