Canglong left the classroom and went straight to the principal's office. After knocking on the door, the principal's voice came from inside: "Please come in!"
Opening the door, I saw the principal wearing reading glasses and looking at a stack of materials. When Canglong came in, the seriousness on his face turned into a smile. He stood up and said, "Come on, come on, sit down quickly!"
In response to the principal's enthusiasm, Canglong did not refuse, but sat on the sofa. The principal came over and said, "Teacher Cang, do you want tea?"
Without waiting for Canglong to answer, the principal walked to the cabinet in the office and took out a can of tea, and sat down next to Canglong again like a treasure. But something suddenly occurred to him, he patted his head and said with a smile: "Hey,
Judging from my memory, Teacher Cang was born and raised in France and likes to drink coffee."
After saying that, the principal put the tea on the table and was about to get something. Canglong immediately said: "Principal, don't bother. Although I grew up in France, I never drink coffee. My old man is really good at it."
!”
"Okay, that's good. I thought that Teacher Cang would have difficulty adapting to the life here when he came to China for the first time. It seems that your old man is also an authentic Chinese. Just listening to your Chinese, I know that your old man is abroad.
, but I care about my hometown." The principal said with a smile, and then began to fiddle with the tea sets on the table.
But Canglong just nodded. He really doesn't drink coffee. This is not because he is picky, but because his profession does not allow him to drink such a strong-tasting drink. For a killer, taste is very important.
Everything will stimulate his sense of taste and make his sense of taste dull.
In comparison, tea is different. Not only is it not irritating, but it can also regulate some functions of the body. The reason why Canglong is known as the number one killer in the underground world is not only because of his own qualities, but also because of his food.
It has strict requirements beyond ordinary people.
Like those killers in movies, if you drink big fish, meat, wine and cigarettes, your body will be in a mess, and your own quality will naturally gradually decrease. For a top killer, it is impossible to enjoy those three meals a day.
Extremely stimulating food, these foods are strictly selected. Even when performing tasks, Canglong will habitually select the food by himself.
This is why he can become the number one killer. Many people may find it difficult to imagine that a top killer in the world would eat the same food as those monks in ancient times. But this is a fact. Not only top killers have such requirements.
This is true even for special forces in various countries. Exciting food is not allowed because they need to maintain excellent quality and alertness.
Once the alertness is lowered, death is not far away. Especially alcohol, a drink that anesthetizes the human spirit, can make people fall into an anesthetic state, thereby lowering alertness. Alcohol is almost a taboo for killers.
Because anesthesia is not just temporary, it can cause irreparable damage to the body.
The principal played with the tea set skillfully, and did not forget to talk to Canglong: "In our traditional culture, tea culture occupies a large part, and in tea culture, there are many ways to make tea, among which waiting for soup is the most difficult.
, If it is not cooked, the foam will float, if it is overcooked, the tea will sink. In the previous life, it was called crab eyes, and it is also an overcooked soup. It cannot be distinguished when boiled in a sinking bottle, so it is the most difficult to wait for the soup."
What the principal said about waiting for soup is actually the control of water temperature, but Canglong also knows this skill, so he added: "As soon as the water enters the pot, it needs to be boiled quickly. If there is a loose sound, remove the lid and cook it."
"The message is old and tender. If there is a slight wave in the water behind the crab's eyes, it is the time; if the water is boiling and the water is silent, it is the time; if it is too old, the soup will be old and fragrant, and it will never be used."
This means that when making tea, boil water over a high fire, not over a slow fire. It is better to just boil and bubble. Use such water to make tea, and the tea soup will have a good aroma. If the water boils for too long, it is what the ancients called "old water"
". At this time, the carbon dioxide dissolved in the water has evaporated completely, and the fresh and refreshing taste of the tea will be greatly inferior. Boiling water, which the ancients called "water tender", is not suitable for making tea because the water temperature is low and the tea contains
The active ingredients are difficult to brew out, which makes the aroma weak and the tea floats on the water surface, making it inconvenient to drink.
"It seems that your father is a learned man." The principal smiled and nodded, but his smile revealed some profound meaning.
"It's funny." Canglong replied calmly.
After a while, the principal finished playing with it and poured out two cups of green tea. With a slight fragrance of tea, he picked up one cup and handed it over and said, "Here, have a taste."
Canglong was not polite. He took the tea and put it gently to his mouth. He took a sip and put the cup back on the table: "Good tea!"
"This is the best West Lake Longjing!" the principal smiled, "Although Teacher Cang grew up in France, her understanding of Chinese culture is better than those born and raised in China."
"My father has been strict since he was a child. When he was a child, he was often beaten with a feather duster because he was not good at learning." Cang Long shook his head in disapproval.
What he said was not made up. Cang Long has studied Chinese culture since he was a child, and his understanding of some of China's customs is more authentic than some people who claim to be natives of the country. The person who taught him these things was his client.
It's just that if you don't satisfy the client during training, you won't be punished with a feather duster, but with a whip dipped in a special poison. You won't be able to sleep all night as a result of the punishment, and you will have to continue training the next day.
Said, it is to exercise his will.
"It seems that your father is a man of good temper." The principal said with a smile, "Okay, let's get down to business. I asked you to come here mainly to arrange the next work and to know whether you are used to it. Now it seems that I am worrying too much.
Okay, that’s fine, I won’t mention it anymore, I’ll just ask you what you think of the students in Class 9.”
Hearing this, Canglong's expression froze. He knew that he should be cautious about this question, but when he thought of these students competing with him, he blurted out: "They are still a group of children."
"Well!" the principal muttered, "When other teachers come to me and talk about Class Nine, they either have a sad face or make accusations, as if they are a group of heinous criminals, but they have forgotten that this group of students who have just turned eighteen years old
Boys and girls are still a bunch of kids.”
"Confucius said that at thirty, people's minds don't really mature until they live to be thirty, let alone them. Eighteen years old is a rebellious era. Even if their intelligence is high, their minds are still like a group of children." Cang Long
Said lightly.
"Okay, Teacher Cang impressed me." The principal said bluntly, "Although the students in Class 9 are famous as thorns in every school, everyone forgets that they are still children and become adults at the age of eighteen, but they are also
There are only a few who can be truly sensible at the age of eighteen. Moreover, the changes in today's society are a test for them. I don't have too many demands for Teacher Cang. I only hope that you can bring Class Nine onto the right track. Their future will
Maybe it’s all on you.”
When he heard the words "Their future lies with you", Canglong's calm heart could not help but be touched. Looking at the old principal, he suddenly felt that responsibility was weighing on him. Just these few words,
But it made Canglong feel unspeakably heavy.
Who can control the future? And this is just a cover for him. Maybe something unexpected will happen tomorrow, and he may leave without hesitation.
"It's hard to be a teacher in this era, especially in a special class like Class 9. Other teachers only see the backgrounds of some of the students, but ignore their problems. In fact, in Class 9, the most powerful ones are just
A few, and most are children from ordinary families, but they have something reflected in them. No matter what, I ask you not to give up on them, or any of them, okay?" The principal's voice was serious.
, a pair of cloudy eyes, flashing with bloodshot eyes.
At this moment, Cang Long's heart couldn't calm down. Could he agree? Or what if he couldn't do it? He couldn't bear to deceive such an old man, but he had to stay here.
, he was actually caught in a dilemma for a moment, this was a hesitation he had never had before.
But in China, it was just such an ordinary old man who fell into this dilemma.
"Don't give up anything, don't give up anything!!!" This sentence resounded in Canglong's mind for a long time, as if beating his heart. Although the choice was so difficult, he knew that this school had such a
A principal is a blessing to the students.
Seeing Canglong's long silence, the principal suddenly smiled: "I have had too many regrets over the decades of teaching. Some regrets cannot be made up for now. It is good not to make promises easily."
"I will try my best." Canglong said. He did not promise because he was worried that he would not be able to fulfill his promise.
"Yeah." The principal nodded, "As I get older, I talk more. I forget that you just arrived and don't have a place to live. The city leaders are afraid that you won't be used to living in the teachers' dormitory, so they have made other arrangements for you. It's a dormitory.
It’s a big house with everything you need. I’ll take you there myself in the evening.”
However, Canglong asked: "Have other teachers also arranged houses? Is it the same as mine?"
"Isn't it because they are concerned about you being an overseas Chinese? The city leaders made special arrangements so that you can stay here with peace of mind. In addition, the city leaders arranged a banquet at Yanjing Hotel in the evening to welcome you." The principal understood what he meant.
.
Hearing this, Canglong shook his head and said: "Principal, please tell the city leaders for me to thank them for their kindness, but if I come here to carry out work and make special arrangements, I'm afraid it will..."
"That's true." The principal thought for a while and said, "What do you mean?"
"The house is the teacher's dormitory. If there is no room, then I will go out and find a house by myself. I will not go to the banquet in the evening. I am just here to teach, and there is no need for any heavy arrangements." Canglong said frankly.
Hearing this, the principal immediately showed embarrassment, but thinking of Canglong's situation, he added: "In this case, then I will follow Teacher Cang. I also gave you a recommendation from the city leaders, but there is one thing you can't refuse, and that is you
After you find the house, all the rent will be borne by the school. I will inform the accountant about the money and it will be transferred to your salary account at that time. What do you think?"
"Okay!" The old man nodded, "Does the principal have anything else to do?"
"There is one more thing about the military training of Class 9, Grade 3. There is no military training in Grade 3, but Class 9 is a newly formed class, so the school arranged military training with the new first-year students. Although the Grade 3 students
The grade-level curriculum is very tight, but military training is conducive to communication and running-in. It lasts for one week, what do you think?" the principal said suddenly.
"Military training?" The old man wondered why Chinese schools have such a special entrance ceremony, but thinking that all the students in Class 9 are energetic, he felt happy in his heart, "Since the school has arranged it, let's train."
ps: Because it is a new book, everyone thought it was good after reading it, so I collected it and sent a few flowers to those who have flowers. I am very grateful.
