In the second test, Zhao Yi told five children a short story called "Crazy Spring" and asked the children to express their opinions.
In the end, no matter what the children said, as long as they thought about it and expressed it, they all passed the test.
This round, no one was eliminated.
In the last round of the test, Zhao Yi distributed pens, ink and paper to the five children.
Let the children open the book and draw as many pictures as they can.
In the end, three children, including Shen Baiqiu, insisted on finishing the entire book.
The three of them were also officially declared by Zhao Yi to have passed the last test.
It seems that this third test is about endurance.
Shen Zhiyao lowered her eyebrows and thought for a moment.
"Sister, I passed the test."
Shen Baiqiu walked up to her, looking uncontrollably excited.
"Bai Qiu, congratulations." Shen Zhiyao was also happy for him.
"Brother, you are so awesome!" Shen Yueya looked up at him and grinned.
After the three children who passed the test shared their joy with their families, Zhao Yi began to explain to Shen Zhiyao and the others what they needed to prepare for school.
"The private school will start the day after tomorrow. The training I receive is twelve taels a year. When you come to the private school, you must prepare three books: The Thousand-Character Classic, The Three-Character Classic, and The Hundred Family Surnames."
After giving these instructions, Zhao Yi will leave.
Shen Zhiyao and the parents of the other two children hurriedly presented the gifts they had brought.
——
"Let's go buy three hundred thousand."
After leaving Zhao Yi's private school, Shen Zhiyao drove a donkey cart and took Shen Baiqiu and Shen Yueya straight to the bookstore.
After choosing the three books designated by Zhao Juren, Shen Zhiyao also bought pen, ink, paper, inkstone and book bag.
After buying these, she rushed to the vegetable market and bought some things she would need for tomorrow's stall and some vegetables for tonight.
"Bai Qiu, help me wash out these beans and mushrooms first. I'll go to Aunt Lin's house next door. We'll treat Aunt Lin and Mr. Lin to dinner tonight."
After returning home, Shen Zhiyao put the ingredients in the kitchen, gave Shen Baiqiu instructions, and walked to the Lin's house next door.
After knocking on the door, Shen Zhiyao waited for Lin Suxin to come out and shared with a smile:
"Aunt Lin, Bai Qiu has passed Zhao Juren's test and can go to private school the day after tomorrow."
"That's great." Lin Suxin immediately beamed with joy after hearing this.
Shen Zhiyao invited: "Don't make dinner tonight, come to my house with Mr. Lin to eat. We will be happy together, and I also want to thank Mr. Lin this time."
"Jing Lan can do it with a little effort, Zhiyao, you don't have to be so polite." Lin Suxin smiled.
Shen Zhiyao asked if she and Lin Jinglan had any taboos.
After getting the answer of no, Shen Zhiyao waved to her: "Aunt Lin, it's settled, you just watch the time."
After saying that, he turned around and went home to cook.
On the way back, she had already planned to make five dishes and one soup for dinner:
Shredded pork with Beijing sauce, spicy hotpot, steamed fish with black bean sauce, braised chicken with mushrooms, fried beans and assorted vegetable soup.
"Sister, is it okay to cook so much rice?"
Shen Baiqiu came over carrying a porcelain basin with some rice in it.
Shen Zhiyao looked at it and nodded: "Okay."
Shen Baiqiu washed the rice, put it in the pot, and added water that was almost a palm above the level of the rice.
Seeing that he was at ease, Shen Zhiyao began to cook his own dishes.
First chop the ribs into sections, take out some flour and put it into the ribs, knead it and then wash it... Kill the fish, cut the chicken, chop the vegetables, etc.
While she was busy, Shen Yueya went to sit on the small bench and was responsible for lighting the fire, while Shen Baiqiu came over to help her while looking at the pot.
When the rice is almost cooked, start draining the rice and take the washed rice dumplings to steam the rice.
While steaming rice in one pot, Shen Zhiyao started stewing chicken in another empty pot.
Then proceed to process the ingredients.
After they had all taken care of it, Shen Baiqiu took over Shen Yueya's place of lighting the fire.
Smoke curls from the kitchen, and the warm sun shines slantingly.
The rich aroma of food gradually filled the Shen family's kitchen.
When Shen Zhiyao and the others were about to prepare the meal, Lin Suxin and Lin Jinglan came over.
"Bai Qiu, here, congratulations, you can go to Zhao Juren's private school."
Lin Suxin handed Shen Baiqiu a cloth book bag.
She sewed the cloth book bag herself. She felt that with Bai Qiu's intelligence, he would be able to pass Zhao Juren's test. She started sewing after Zhiyao and the others left her house yesterday.
"Thank you Aunt Lin." Shen Baiqiu took it happily.
"Congratulations."
Lin Jinglan talks less.
When Shen Baiqiu followed Shen Zhiyao to the bookstore to buy an inkstone today, he saw this kind of inkstone given by Lin Jinglan. He knew that the price was not cheap and he didn't know whether to accept it.
"Take it." Shen Zhiyao noticed his hesitation and nodded.
Shen Baiqiu took the inkstone given by Lin Jinglan with both hands and was very excited: "Thank you, Brother Lin."
"Zhiyao, how can I help?" Lin Su couldn't help but began to look for work.
Shen Zhiyao shook his head and took her to the courtyard, to the table that had been moved from the main room long ago: "Aunt Lin, there is nothing to be busy with. You and Mr. Lin sit down and have a cup of tea first. The food will be served soon. superior. "
After saying this, Shen Zhiyao poured them two cups of tea, then turned to the kitchen to put the last dish, fried beans, into the pot.
This was the first time for Lin Jinglan to come to Shen Zhiyao's house. Everywhere he looked, the courtyard was kept clean and tidy.
A wooden "roof" was built over the well, and the surrounding ground was paved with warm stones on one side and shallow green grass extending under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree on the other.
This small piece of land, together with the land that was reclaimed next to it and seemed to be planted, created a sense of peace and tranquility.
"Jinglan, I'll go help serve the food first."
When Lin Suxin saw Shen Baiqiu coming out of the kitchen with food, she stood up and prepared to help.
Lin Jinglan raised her hand: "Mom, let me go."
He crossed his long legs, and when Shen Baiqiu was already walking over with a plate of steamed fish with black bean sauce, he passed by Shen Baiqiu and walked to the kitchen door.
In the kitchen, Shen Zhiyao was frying beans.
The prepared spicy hot pot and shredded pork with Beijing sauce are already placed on the stove.
Lin Jinglan looked at Shen Zhiyao's figure immersed in cooking, then reached out and knocked on the open door: "Miss Shen, let me serve the food."
"Master Lin? Come in."
Shen Zhiyao tilted her head and saw Lin Jinglan standing outside the kitchen door, and asked him to come in.
Then he pointed to the dishes on the stove very naturally and said, "Take these out."
"good."
Lin Jinglan approached the stove, reached out and picked up the heavier spicy pot.
After he took it away, Shen Baiqiu returned to the kitchen from the yard.
Next, Lin Jinglan and Shen Baiqiu were responsible for serving tonight's meals, dishes and chopsticks to the table.
Finally, Shen Zhiyao came to the table in the courtyard carrying a pot of plum wine and a pot of rice wine.
The dishes on the table include spicy and fragrant spicy pot, chicken stewed with mushrooms that are fragrant and nourishing for the stomach, and assorted vegetable soup with beautiful colors.
It can be said that it is full of color, flavor and flavor, which makes people move their index fingers.
Shen Zhiyao sat down with a bright smile and raised her voice slightly:
"Began to eat!"
