SIAS Chapter 6.1

This afternoon, she stir-fried all kinds of vegetables and finally understood the key points of vegetarian stir-fry.

In the next two days, apart from eating, she hid in the house and learned skills.

The progress of her skills was not calculated by the number of dishes she cooked, but more on her cooking level. It was just because she had just started, so there was still much room for improvement everywhere.

Although Master Zhu had been teaching her one-on-one, so what? The problem was still raised and corrected.

There were countless materials for her to practice, so her skills were improving a lot every day.

Moreover, after staying in teaching mode for two hours, only one hour had passed outside.

The effect of one-to-one teaching was remarkable. Now if Yi Qingqing received the ingredients, she could roughly judge how to process them and what to cook.

Home-cooked dishes were not a problem. She had caught up with her mother Zhao Xianglan’s level. But, Master Zhu still had a lot to say.

At noon the day before going to the countryside, after she studied quickly and slowly and after finally cooking the braised pork in front of her, her cooking skills successfully upgraded to level 2. Then, a new prompt message appeared.

[Through the skill-teaching mode, cooking skills are upgraded to level 2, and 5 sign-in points are awarded (there is no such reward if upgrading the skill through sign-in points)]

Yi Qingqing: “!”

Could she get sign-in points by practicing on her own to upgrade her skills?

Yi Qingqing’s deposit of the sign-in point suddenly increased to 8 points. She was very lucky that she had been very poor and did not directly upgrade her skills using the sign-in point.

If it was used, didn’t it mean that she would spend 5 sign-in points and not be able to get the upgrade reward? Rounding off, that was a loss of 10 sign-in points!

But, she didn’t continue studying. She will go to the countryside tomorrow. She’d better hurry up and sign in again today.

Exiting the skill-teaching mode, she thought about it in her mind and went to the county high school first.

The original owner’s academic performance was not very good. Before going to the countryside, she had to try the county gate, where the sign-in location required 3 points to sign in, to see if she could get the skills.

She now had 8 sign-in points and had the ability to try and make mistakes.

[Sign in at Nanping County High School and acquire College Entrance Examination skills.]

Yi Qingqing saw the prompt message. Her guess was indeed correct. It turned out to be a college entrance examination skill.

She looked at the skill column and found that she had already passed 88% of Level 1 of the College Entrance Examination and was just a little bit to Level 2.

[College Entrance Examination Skills Teaching Course]

[Nanping County High Key Class Teaching Group (Level 3)]

This teaching level was better than that of Master Zhu. The teacher could teach her to level 3 at most.

Now when she went to the countryside, she didn’t have to worry about study problems.

Another big problem was solved. Yi Qingqing felt that going to the countryside was not so bad.

There were 5 sign-in points left, so she went to several more locations in sequence.

[Sign in at the Nanping County Non-staple Food Store and get 30 eggs.]

[Sign in at the Nanping County Supply and Marketing Cooperative and receive two kilograms of spiced melon seeds.]

[Sign in at Nanping County Department Store and get a 14-inch black and white TV.]

Except for the last TV, which was a bit useless for her to hold, the others were all suitable.

She felt that there was probably enough food in the space, so she left two sign-in points in case of emergencies.

College Entrance Examination (Part 1)

The Nationwide Unified Examination for Admissions to General Universities and Colleges (普通高等学校招生全国统一考试), commonly abbreviated as Gaokao (高考; ‘Higher Exam’), is the annual national undergraduate admission exam of China, held in early June.

The exam is held by provincial governments under directions from the Ministry of Education and is required for undergraduate admissions to all higher education institutions in the country. The Gaokao is taken by high school seniors at the end of their final year.

 

History

The first Gaokao was held on August 15–17, 1952.

The unified national tertiary entrance examination marked the start of the reform of National Matriculation Tests Policies (NMTP) in the newly established People’s Republic of China. With the implementation of the first Five Year Plan in 1953, the NMTP was further enhanced.

From 1958, the tertiary entrance examination system was affected by the Great Leap Forward Movement. Unified recruitment was soon replaced by separate recruitment by individual or allied tertiary education institutions. Meanwhile, political censorship on candidate students was enhanced.

From 1962, the NMTP system was criticized due to its negative impact on the working class; In July 1966, the NMTP was officially canceled and substituted with a new admission policy of recommending workers, farmers and soldiers to college.
