Chapter 793: Impress Others With Your Ability

Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Qingzhi stroked Da Bai’s head, affirming her Da Bai’s abilities, “Good boy, go find the next one.”

Chu Lanzhen walked over with a smile, “Sister Qingzhi, Da Bai is not only obedient but also very smart.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled slightly, “Stop praising it, or it’ll get arrogant.”

While they were talking, Da Bai found another bamboo shoot baby. It ran to Chu Qingzhi, bit the hem of her clothes, and pulled towards the location of the bamboo shoot baby.

Looking at the plump bamboo shoot baby, an idea came to Chu Qingzhi’s mind. Why not launch a bamboo shoot soybean paste?

Bamboo shoot soybean paste could become a dining table miracle, with the crispy texture of bamboo shoots, it should be delightful.

With this idea in mind, Chu Qingzhi sped up the pace of digging bamboo shoots.

Chu Lanzhen dug up ten bamboo shoots herself, then helped Chu Qingzhi. She came over with the last bamboo shoot, “Sister Qingzhi, why are you digging so many bamboo shoots?”

Chu Qingzhi did not disclose her plans, “You’ll know in time.”

Chu Lanzhen did not ask further and took Chu Qingzhi’s bamboo shoot basket,

“You’re younger, let me carry the heavy load for you.”

Chu Qingzhi touched her forehead helplessly, “Thank you.”

The villagers took good care of her, whether they were older or younger.

Back home, Chu Qingzhi peeled the bamboo shoots, sliced them, cooked them, put them in a barrel, rinsed them with clean water, and took them to the workshop.

After dinner, she went back to the workshop to try making the dining table miracle.

Chu Qingning followed, “Fifth sister, are you making a new product?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded, “Making a dining table miracle.”

Chu Qingning said, “I’ll help you.”

“Okay.” At the workshop, Chu Qingzhi had Chu Qingning steam the beans while she processed the bamboo shoots.

After more than an hour, a tempting fragrance filled the workshop. Chu Qingning sniffed, “Fifth sister, it smells so good.”

Chu Qingzhi put some bamboo shoot soybean paste in a bowl and handed it to Chu Qingning, “Try it.”

The bamboo shoot soybean paste in the bowl was shiny and red, the beans were intact, and the bamboo shoots were diced. After frying, the bamboo shoots were indistinguishable, making the whole look appetizing.

After smelling it, Chu Qingning swallowed her saliva, “I think I could eat another bowl of rice now.”

Chu Qingzhi handed a spoon to Chu Qingning, “Try it like this first.”

“Okay.” Chu Qingning ate almost half a bowl of bamboo shoot soybean paste.

The beans were very soft, the bamboo shoots crispy, not too salty or bland, and the aroma was enticing. The color was also appealing. She licked her lips, “Fifth sister, I think I could eat two more bowls of rice.”

Truly a dining table miracle.

“Your wish will be fulfilled tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

The sisters chatted and laughed, cleaned up the workshop, and then returned home.

Ge Lihua heard Chu Qingzhi’s footsteps and came out of her room, “Qingzhi, do you have time now? Let’s discuss the children’s test papers.”

“I’m free.”

“Then wait a moment, I’ll get the materials.”

Hearing their conversation, Chu Qingning and Hong Yujun came to the second- floor hall.

Everyone sat around the table.

Ge Lihua brought out the teaching plans, the children’s test papers, and homework, placing them on the table.

Chu Qingzhi first reviewed the teaching plans, page by page, and then had an idea.

Then she reviewed the homework, page by page, noticing everyone’s handwriting was improving, with fewer mistakes and significant progress.

Finally, she reviewed the test papers, comparing them to the score chart. The children’s performances varied, but overall, they were improving.

Chu Qingzhi looked up at the three of them, “Let’s draft six test papers, three for academics and three for arithmetic.”

Confused, Hong Yujun asked, “Do the children need to take all six tests?”

Chu Qingzhi explained, “No, we’ll draft three levels of difficulty. The hardest one will be given as homework first to shock them. The children haven’t faced difficulties yet and are complacent. We need to ground them.”

“After the difficult one, we’ll give them a slightly easier one to boost their confidence and affirm themselves.”

“During the exam, use the easiest one. These children are all good; let’s try to keep them all.”

After hearing Chu Qingzhi’s plan, they silently praised her brilliant mind, still unknown to the children.

Ge Lihua said, “We understand, Qingzhi. Let’s start drafting the papers now, and you draft the hardest one.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded, “Okay, review it later. You know them better. If it’s too hard, we can lower the difficulty.”

“Okay.”

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao, hearing their conversation, came out of their room but remained silent, quietly observing the test papers.

After seeing them, they frowned, realizing the difficulty.

Chu Xuyuan couldn’t help but say, “Fifth sister, this paper is quite difficult.”

Chu Qingzhi replied, “It’s based on the teaching plan. If you think carefully, it’s doable.”

Chu Xuyao, with a slightly furrowed brow, doubted his own abilities, “Fifth sister, I think about half of us won’t pass.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled, “It’s been too smooth sailing. This shock will help everyone’s mindset settle.”

Understanding Chu Qingzhi’s intention, Chu Xuyao said, “Fifth sister, I get it.”

Chu Qingzhi seized the moment, “You also mustn’t be arrogant. Take every step seriously, understand?”

Chu Xuyao nodded, humbly stating, “We’re low-key at the academy.”

“Go rest, you have to rise early for studies tomorrow.” Chu Qingzhi was pleased with her two brothers, hardworking and ambitious. Their simultaneous victory in the young scholars’ exam was still a hot topic.

Chu Xuyao nodded, then stopped and turned, “By the way, fifth sister, we have half a month until vacation.”

Chu Qingzhi was puzzled, “What do you mean?”

Chu Xuyao explained, “Teacher Yan said he’ll arrange extra lessons for us, aiming for the scholar exam the year after next.”

Originally aiming for next year, but their foundation was weak, risking failure. Considering their top rank in the young scholars’ exam, failing would be embarrassing. For safety, Teacher Yan suggested waiting another year to ensure success.

With their young age, waiting another year was beneficial, allowing them time

to mature.

Chu Qingzhi assured, “Go, your parents will prepare everything.”

“Okay.” Chu Xuyao hesitated, then asked, “Fifth sister, how would you react if you heard someone gossiping about you?”

This question implied that there were rumors about the brothers in the academy, but Chu Qingzhi chose not to confront it directly, letting them handle it first, “Use your strength to prove them wrong.”

Chu Xuyao and Chu Xuyuan exchanged looks, gaining insight.

Chu Qingzhi gently advised, “No matter what, your family is your strongest support. If you encounter insurmountable issues, tell us. We’ll help.”

“We understand, fifth sister.”

“Go on.”

The brothers cheerfully returned to their room.
