Several aunts touched the smooth cabinet and couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, this cabinet is so beautiful."

“This floor is so beautiful.”

"Who says it's not true? I don't even want to use porcelain bowls at home, but the floors of this library are all made of porcelain. I really don't want to use porcelain bowls at home."

"Why not? This is a place for scholars to study, so of course we have to use the best."

"Mrs. Lin said that if more people read, the country will have more talents. Only with more talents can the country become stronger and the people become richer."

"This is where my son Shitan will study from now on. He will be a talented person in the future."

The villagers heard the word "talent" from Lin Shuangshuang. Although they didn't quite understand what talent was, they all knew it was a good word.

Those who can be considered talents in the village are all promising people, so the word "talent" gradually spread.

The old woman next to her curled her lips in disdain when she saw Wang Guifen's smug look, and secretly complained in her heart that it was rare for a boy like yours to become a talented person.

If we talk about talent, it has to be her little grandson. He can recite the Three Character Classic at the age of three. He is really amazing.

The villagers looked here and touched there curiously, and the more they looked at it, the more curious it became.

Lin Shuangshuang followed Zhao Mu to the newspaper office and prepared to publish the news of the opening of the library in the latest issue of the newspaper.

The time was set for half a month later. Half a month was enough time for them to sort all the books and put them neatly in place.

By then, when people see the news in the newspaper that the library is open to the public for free, it will surely attract a large number of readers.

In a teahouse in Jinling City, many scholars were holding newspapers and discussing the affairs of Qinghe Library.

"Brother Chen, are you reading the newspaper too?"

I saw a scholar in a white coarse cloth gown walk up to a scholar in a gray coarse cloth gown and sit down, and pour himself a cup of tea in a very familiar manner.

"Brother Li, you also heard about the news of Qinghe Library, right?"

"Of course. The library is the talk of the town these days. Everyone in Jinling knows about it."

"Brother Li, what do you think?"

Li Mu poured himself another cup of tea and ate two fennel beans. He straightened his long gown, which had turned white from washing, and said solemnly, "I want to go to Hegou Village in Qinghe Town to study. I wonder if Brother Chen is willing to go with me?"

Chen Zixian nodded: "That's exactly what I was thinking."

"I heard that there are endless books in Qinghe Library, which can fill the dilemma of poor students like us who have difficulty finding books."

"Maybe if we concentrate on studying there for a few years, we can be on the list in a few years."

"If I have the opportunity to enter Qinghe Academy and become a disciple of Master Zhao, my chances of passing the high school entrance exam will be even greater."

"Yes, the top scholars in the past three years have all been won by Qinghe Academy. I heard that these people all graduated from Master Zhao's top scholar crash course."

"Forget about the crash course for the top scholar. The tuition fee is five thousand taels a year. We can't afford it even in several lifetimes."

Chen Zixian shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. I heard that Qinghe Academy holds a special recruitment exam every year, and the top three students can enter for free."

"As long as we can get into the top three, we will have a chance to enter the top class."

The two of them enjoyed the future while drinking tea, and finally agreed on a time to go together so that they could take care of each other.

After all, it takes two or three months to travel from Jinling City to Qingshui Town.

The next morning, when the two went to the carriage shop to rent a carriage, they found that there were many people who had the same idea as them.

Almost overnight, all the carriages from the carriage shops in Jinling City were rented out, leaving only some ox carts, donkey carts and mule carts that were difficult to rent.

The two men looked at each other and decided to rent a relatively sturdy mule cart directly. They were afraid that if they were any later even the mule carts would be gone and only the slow ox carts would be left, which would take forever.

Originally they were afraid of being robbed on the road, but after leaving the city they realized that they were worrying too much.

There are so many horse-drawn carriages on the official road that it looks like they are going to a market. If you ask around, you will find that they are all going to Qingshui Town. Let alone robbing with such a huge flow of cars, it is hard to say whether the bandits dare to come down the mountain.

"Brother Zixian, I'm afraid we'll have to travel day and night."

"Yes, our mule carts are not at an advantage..."

It seems that everyone thinks that those who arrive early have more advantages.

So, along the way, these scholars were like racing cars, rushing faster than each other.

Of course, this is all for later!

In Hegou Village, after the latest issue of the newspaper was published, Lin Shuangshuang handed over the task of organizing the library to the students of the academy.

She gathered all the people in the village together and prepared to teach them a skill based on the strengths and special circumstances of each family.

The village chief gathered everyone together and Lin Shuangshuang went on stage to speak.

"Fellow villagers, we have worked hard for three years, and now the library is finally built. It will open in half a month."

"This means that in half a month, readers from all over the country will come here from all directions."

"The more people gather in our Hegou Village, the more people need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate here."

"As we all know, food, clothing, shelter, transportation, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating all require money."

"Whether I can catch this overwhelming wealth depends on this one time."

"The first impression is particularly important. We should not only pay attention to hygiene, courtesy, hospitality and smiling faces, but also have the skills to show off."

Everyone's blood boiled and their passion was high as if they were about to go into battle.

"Mrs. Lin, what is considered a great skill?"

"I don't know anything else, except farming?"

"When the scholars come, I will show them how to plant rice and water it with manure?"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed, and the village chief waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

Lin Shuangshuang explained that the so-called outstanding skills were not farming or chopping wood, but new things that were different and eye-opening.

The so-called new things can be novel snacks, handicrafts, sculptures, small toys, figurines, models, and souvenirs.

After Lin Shuangshuang's explanation, the villagers seemed to understand but not quite. They seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.

They also want to make some rare food and gadgets to attract customers and make more money.

But... they won’t!

They are farmers. If they had that ability, they wouldn't even have enough food to eat.

Amid everyone's confusion, Lin Shuangshuang came up with many plans, and then introduced them one by one, allowing each family to come forward and choose for themselves.

"Grilled gluten, stinky tofu, pan-fried buns, roujiamo, mutton skewers, fried chicken skewers, cold noodles, fried rice and noodles, egg pancakes, and pancakes..."

“Are these going to be given to us for free?”

Lin Shuangshuang nodded: "Well, every household should learn the same thing and try not to repeat the same thing."

"After you learn it, protect your secret recipe well. Don't let people from other villages learn it easily. It would be bad if they come to steal your business."

Everyone nodded in unison: "Of course, the secret to making money is more valuable than your eyeballs."
