Chapter 006: Language Talent

When Qin Xue returned home in the evening, she not only brought the chiffon cake from the morning, but also bought a lot of macarons and puffs.

Her little heart and little brain had been hit hard all day long today, and she desperately needed the comfort of delicious food.

Before she even left Fang's Dessert Shop, she took out a pink macaron, took a bite, and then vaguely expressed her feelings at the moment, "Apart from my father, only food can live up to people's hearts."

"I never thought that your father, me, would one day be ranked before delicious food in your heart. It's rare, really rare." Qin Laicai, who had been waiting outside, kept an eye on the movements of Fang's dessert shop. As soon as his daughter came out, he got out of the car to greet her and happened to hear this sigh.

Hearing her father's harsh words, Qin Xue felt extremely kind. She refused to admit that her father was not as important as food in her heart. "Nonsense! Daddy has always been number one in my heart."

No one knows a daughter better than her father. Qin Laicai did not argue with her, but asked directly, "Have you been wronged?"

This girl would only put him before food if she felt wronged.

"No, not at all." Given her father's personality, if he knew that she was being despised again and again, he would definitely not want her to continue to suffer injustice.

But she has made up her mind to learn everything, whether it is desserts or foreign languages.

She didn't want her father to become a hindrance to her.

Seeing her subconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes with her hands, Qin Laicai knew that she was guilty when she said this.

This shows that the child must have been wronged.

In the past, if he encountered such a situation, he would definitely start cursing. But today, he suppressed the urge to curse and said, "Then tell me, Dad, what did you learn today?"

As they were talking, the father and daughter had already gotten into the carriage together.

As soon as Qin Xue got on the carriage, she kicked off her embroidered shoes, and then pushed her whole body onto the soft couch in the carriage, rolling over on the couch.

Then, she excitedly shared with Qin Laicai the surprise on his face when she quickly mastered the foreign language Liu Zhiyan taught her that afternoon. So, she used every beautiful word she could think of to praise herself profusely.

What is "elegant and kind-hearted", "intelligent and intelligent", and "skillful and intelligent".

This girl of his is actually very smart, but he spoiled her a little too much and she never went to a proper girls' school.

If you ask her what she eats, she can talk about a lot of things.

When asked about her knowledge, she often can't come up with much that is worth listening to.

It was rare to hear such beautiful words from her mouth, and Qin Laicai was quite surprised. "Next time someone says you are uneducated, just throw these words at them."

"Don't you always say that we are not going to have a female top scholar exam, so what's the point of having so much ink?" To say that she is illiterate and unlearned is inseparable from her laziness.

That has a lot to do with my biological father.

After all, every time she was lazy and didn't want to go to school, her father would always say, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. Anyway, we are not going to take the imperial examination, nor do we rely on learning to make a living."

Just think about it, if a student who doesn't like to study meets a father who doesn't take learning seriously at all, it would be strange if she didn't raise a child who is unlearned and unlearned.

"You said you wanted to learn from Master Ye." Of course, as he got older, he also felt that if his child learned more skills, his future would be more secure. "Master Ye is someone that so many people look up to. If you can become even one percent as good as her, even if you can't be as good as her, you won't have to worry about anything in your life."

Talking about her unattainable idol, Qin Xue felt a longing in her heart, "I hope I will have the chance to meet her in person in this lifetime."

Qin Laicai thought that it was about as difficult for ordinary people like them to meet Lord Ye as it was for those petty officials to dream of meeting the emperor.

It's almost something you don't have to think about in your entire life.

But my daughter finally has a goal she wants to strive for, and even if it is difficult to achieve, we should not discourage her.

Just like when he was wandering around and couldn't even get enough to eat, if he hadn't dared to think things that others didn't dare to think about and didn't dare to do things that others didn't dare to do, how could he have the good life he has now.

So, he gave Qin Xue a very pertinent suggestion, "Since you are very talented in foreign languages, then study hard. With enough time and effort, strive to be admitted to a technical college. Then, you might be able to meet her."

After decades of hard work by Ye Qinghan, there is now a professional college in every prefecture in the entire Dazhao Kingdom.

This technical college accepts students regardless of gender or age; anyone can enter as long as they pass the exam.

He had never thought about sending his daughter to a technical college before.

But now that my daughter has a goal to pursue, a technical college is a good option.

By the time she was fifteen, Qin Xue had done many things, practically following her own ideas. This included the time she boasted to Liu Zhiyan about guarding the ferry for days and nights in the middle of winter in order to obtain a recipe.

She knew that this kind of unplanned behavior might work for eating and drinking, but it would definitely not work for learning real skills.

Of course, it is difficult for her to make plans on her own.

But she has a good father who will help her plan, just like now.

So when Qin Xue heard her father's words, her eyes lit up, "Dad is right, I must work hard and try to get into a technical college."

Then he thought of the task Liu Zhiyan had assigned him, and immediately ordered the coachman to stop the carriage at the market later.

His daughter always came up with one thing after another, so Qin Laicai didn't ask her what she was doing in the market.

It wasn't until he saw his daughter buying piles of eggs, almost taking up half the carriage, that he realized the seriousness of the matter. "Why buy so many eggs?"

Qin Xue told Qin Laicai about her experience cracking an egg that morning, and then said with a very sad expression, "The master said: If I don't learn to crack an egg well tonight and separate the egg white and yolk properly, I will be kicked out tomorrow."

"..." Qin Laicai suddenly felt a little sympathetic towards his daughter's temporary master, remembering his own cook's words, 'I'm not afraid of the girl wanting to eat new things, I'm most afraid of the girl entering the kitchen.' "Then you should learn well. Dad will ask someone to buy more eggs later. I guarantee there will be enough for you to crack."

It was already difficult for this girl to crack the egg properly.

She was also asked to separate the egg whites and egg yolks. Without a few hundred eggs for her to make, it would definitely not be enough.

"Thank you, Daddy. Daddy is the best."

…

While Qin Xue and Dan are arguing over here, Liu Zhiyan might as well give in a little.

The eggs used in Fang’s Dessert Shop need to have the yolks and egg whites separated, so the eggs Qin Xue cracked in the morning could not be used.

Although he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, his parents taught him not to waste it.

After sending Qin Xue away, he spent some time making the extra egg liquid into old-fashioned honey cake and whole egg sponge cake.

So, when he returned home that night, he was holding this kind of cake in his hand.

When he arrived home, Ye Qinghan was already at home in comfortable home clothes, ordering people to serve the meal, and then asked about his son's situation today.

"Tsk, I didn't know you only met her once. I definitely suspect that she is the daughter you left behind." Seeing that she was obsessed with a stranger whom she had only met once, Liu Zhiyan said sourly.

"I wonder what Niannian had for lunch? What does she want to eat in the evening? Niannian is out here all alone, without anyone to take care of her. Shouldn't Mom..."

He was already 25 years old, and calling him by his nickname gave him goose bumps. "Stop, stop, stop, please forgive me."

Ye Qinghan's expression, "I can't handle you, little brat," was irritating no matter how he looked at her. Liu Zhiyan simply turned his eyes away, ignoring this mother who never treated her like an elder. "A fool who can't even crack an egg has the audacity to say he wants to learn how to make desserts."

Upon hearing his son's words, Ye Qinghan thought something was wrong. "You wouldn't say that to a little girl, would you?"

"How dare I with you here?!" Since last night, she had been repeatedly telling him to be gentle with his words. He had truly endured those harsh words again and again. "But, with her unusual brain, I guess even if I didn't hold back, she wouldn't be as blunt as other women."

"Oh? How do you mean?"

Liu Zhiyan simply recounted what happened in the morning to Ye Qinghan.

Ye Qinghan could imagine the expression on his son's face when he heard the girl confidently say that she was "unlearned" and "uneducated", and heard his son ask her "how dare you come to learn how to make pastries from him when you can't even crack an egg", and the girl said "that's why I come to learn because I don't know how".

When Ye Qinghan heard her ask her son if he laid the egg, he couldn't help laughing, "This girl is so interesting."

She also discovered that her son, who never even batted an eyelid when talking about women, had a richer expression on his face when talking about the little girl than she had ever seen before.

Maybe if he were to spend more time with that little girl, his usually indifferent face would have a little more worldly air.

This thought made Ye Qinghan feel that it was absolutely right for him to let this boy teach the girl.

"She's totally incompetent in the kitchen. If I continue to teach her how to make desserts, I'm afraid I'll shorten my life by several years. So, I decided to just teach her a few random things every morning and then let her play on her own." Anyway, the girl was too stupid to tell that he wasn't teaching her with all his heart.

Ye Qinghan said, "As long as she has no objection, it's up to you."

You can tell at a glance that the girl has never done any baking, and whether she learns to bake or not will not affect her life.

And just like my son said, even if I learned how to make these desserts, I still wouldn’t be able to bake them without an oven that can control the temperature well.

She gave him a chance just to see if he had a talent for learning foreign languages.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "What about her talent for foreign languages?"

Thinking about the foreign language class in the afternoon, I only need to speak once and the other person can imitate accurately.

As long as he explains clearly the precautions when pronouncing various sounds, the other party will be able to make the most perfect sound.

He learned it even faster than he did back then. "​​It seems pretty good."

He didn't want to go to the academy to attend classes. On the one hand, he didn't like taking on responsibilities. On the other hand, even if those students were very good, they still looked stupid in his eyes.

He agreed to teach the little girl to his mother in order to avoid becoming a teacher in college.

After what happened this afternoon, he really wanted to see if the girl’s talent in foreign languages ​​was better than his.

My son is really talented in foreign languages. He can master basic conversations in any language after learning it for three to five months.

If this child had not been interested in a career in politics, she would have sent him to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs long ago.

Unfortunately, this is a child who is not bound by any rules. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is unwilling to go and asks him to help teach students at the college. It would be good if the child agrees once out of ten times.

Their family does not adopt an authoritarian approach to their children's education. If the children don't want to, they as parents won't do much to force them.

His son is talented and arrogant.

I have never heard him praise anyone in my life.

It was rare to hear someone praised, and Ye Qinghan was overjoyed. "Then teach her well. Once you've trained her well, I won't let you teach at the academy anymore."
