Chapter 8 Xianxuetang
You need to pay to enter Baishi Town, but Yun Ye followed Liu Quan in, and no one dared to ask for money.
After entering Baishi Town, Liu Quan got annoyed, and a look made Yun Ye unable to move, and he could not continue to pretend to be a tiger.
Yun Ye had no choice but to find someone on the road to ask the location of Xianxuetang.
Xianxuetang was indeed unusual. When passers-by were stopped, they looked impatient, but when they said that the place they were going to was Xianxuetang, passers-by immediately became enthusiastic and pointed out the way to Yun Ye in detail.
After Yun Ye thanked him, he took the road for safety.
He observed along the way.
Baishi Town is indeed not comparable to Ono Village and Mingzhu Village. It is very prosperous. There are a large number of vendors on the street. Yun Ye also saw people selling snacks, and there is no worry about no one buying them.
If this was Mingzhu Village, it would be impossible. The money is not enough to buy necessities, so how can you buy snacks?
A cake that is only enough for one person to eat is actually sold for one black copper. This is completely unacceptable to the poor.
One black copper, if you eat frugally, is enough for a family of three to eat for a day.
Although it is two meals, there is still a six-fold difference.
Taste alone cannot convince poor people to spend five times the premium.
But the residents of Baishi Town don't care about these.
They are different from people outside. They will not live in danger every day, and it is much easier to save money.
Therefore, they will not be stingy with money.
This is a huge business opportunity.
Yun Ye thought about his own things and soon reached the destination.
When he looked up, there were three big characters written in mahogany and gold. Although Yun Ye didn't recognize them, he thought it was "Xian Academy" because these three characters were the same as those on his token.
In front of the academy, a young man in black was sitting.
In front of him was a stone table, an account book, and a box next to him, which contained a large number of tokens.
Yun Ye took out his token and looked at it. It was exactly the same, with a black background, cyan characters, and three words written on it.
"Is this... Xian Academy?" Yun Ye asked with the token.
The young man looked at him lazily and said, "Leave the token. What's your name and where are you from?"
"Mingzhu... Village... Yangshi." Yun Ye respectfully put the token into the box.
"It's still someone who can't even speak clearly. The quality is really getting worse and worse." The young man sneered and tapped the table with his fingers. The account book on the table turned to a page that was half written without wind.
He didn't see him writing, but just his fingers rubbed it and the handwriting was left.
Then, the young man threw out a gray token, and Yun Ye hurriedly caught it. Before Yun Ye could ask anything, the young man said impatiently, "This is your ID card. Take the card and go in. Room 7, C, find it yourself!"
"In addition, pay attention to the rules in Xianxuetang. You are not allowed to attack classmates or enter other people's rooms, whether they are invited by the other party or by your own will. Don't ask why, there is no reason!"
"Okay, get out!"
Yun Ye wanted to ask more questions, but this person obviously didn't like his attitude, and asking more questions would do more harm than good.
He quietly put away the token, walked into Xian Academy, and looked around.
There were already people in the academy, and there were quite a few. A quick look showed that they were divided into two types.
One type was the students in black uniforms who came and went in a hurry. Although their clothes were different, it was obvious that they were the same uniform. They were all old students, not this year's students.
The other type was the students who were dressed differently. Most of them were dressed very simply, even shabby, and had a blank look on their faces. This feature was very obvious.
So, Yun Ye classified them as freshmen.
Although Yun Ye was completely illiterate and couldn't find the dormitory by himself, after knowing who was an old student and who was a freshman, he followed these freshmen around for a while, eavesdropped on them for a while, and basically figured out the situation in Xian Academy.
It turned out that the rooms were divided into four specifications: A, B, C, and D. Most of the freshmen were in Class C rooms.
And the grading was not only about the rooms, but also other aspects. The main purpose was to screen.
There were exams every year, and if you couldn't pass, your treatment would be downgraded.
After accumulating three times, he dropped out directly.
Xianxuetang is a place full of competition and a test of personal ability, which is very different from the kind education of modern schools.
Yun Ye knew that he needed to adjust his mentality quickly, otherwise he would not be able to adapt. Not to mention mixing into the upper echelons of Baishi Town, he might be eliminated in the audition stage.
"Three days later, I will teach Qigong, one hour a day, and there will be extra meals at that time. It sounds like this extra meal seems a little unusual?"
Yun Ye pondered the last thing he heard and pushed open the door of the room with "Bingqi" written on it.
"Creaky."
A neat room came into view, with all the bedding, no leaks, and no strange smells.
What surprised Yun Ye even more was that there was only one bed in this room, which means it was a single room!
Is it that there are very few people enrolled?
No, it should be said that this Xianxuetang is too big. After all, it was opened by the government, and a mere 15 square meters is nothing.
Who among the powerful people in this world doesn't have a mansion of several thousand square meters?
It is also very common to build a mansion like a garden, which is very different from the modern cramped houses where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.
"So this is what those students mean by the downgrade in treatment. At the beginning, each person has a room. If they fail to pass the exam within a year, they will be downgraded to a double room. In two years, it will be a four-person room. In three years... drop out of school."
Yun Ye did not put down the package, but took the package through the corridor and came to a place full of fireworks.
Tables were lined up one after another, and many people were already sitting at the tables, eating big mouthfuls.
Smelling the smell, Yun Ye knew that this was the cafeteria of Xianxuetang.
Yun Ye touched his stomach, walked up to ask for a big bowl of food, and asked the price by the way.
And sure enough, as Yang Shu once said, the food in Xianxuetang is free and you can eat as much as you want. This is the most basic welfare of Xianxuetang. If you have to pay for food, it is meaningless for poor people to go to Xianxuetang.
Yun Ye, who was a little hungry, wolfed down a large bowl of food. When he came to his senses, he felt extremely greasy.
The meat in this cafeteria was just ordinary salted meat stew. Eating a little more was very greasy, which made people lose their appetite.
Yun Ye rubbed his stomach and forced himself to eat two more bowls until he was full.
He resisted the nausea and stood up to leave.
At this moment, two young men in brocade clothes walked by, frowned and looked at Yun Ye for a few times, and immediately scolded him: "You are really barbaric and don't know etiquette. Boy, don't be an eyesore here, get out of the way."
"This school is really full of beggars. I don't know how many years they haven't taken a bath. It's unlucky!"
They were born in a rich environment, so they naturally couldn't stand Yun Ye, a "savage".
Compared with them, Yun Ye, who was discriminated against, didn't even frown, but left the scene faster.
The two young men in brocade clothes were also used to the fear of the lowly people. They glanced at Yun Ye's back with contempt and continued to talk loudly. Soon, their food was served.
It was a bowl of food that looked bleak, but with a faint smell of medicine, which was completely different from Yun Ye's salted meat stew.
The two of them threw down a silver coin to pay the bill and started eating.
