"Here's eight hundred wen, which I'll pay Mr. Qin as a deposit," Doctor Ge said. "I'll be leaving for town in a moment. If we can agree on a price, I'll come back and let Mr. Qin know."

Qin Zhao didn't refuse and bowed to him: "Thank you."

After leaving Huaixia Village, Qin Zhao took Jing Li to the stream again.

The little koi had a scare yesterday and needed to go to the stream to relax.

However, Jing Li had long forgotten what happened yesterday. His mind was full of Qin Zhao finally becoming rich.

The deposit for just one herb was eight hundred coins. I wonder how much money I can make if I sell all those herbs.

Qin Zhao is so awesome!

But he didn't know that Qin Zhao was thinking the exact opposite of what he was thinking.

The location of the herb was not found by Qin Zhao, but was where Jing Li happened to hide after being chased by the orange cat yesterday.

When Qin Zhao rescued him, he discovered that there was a large patch of black ginseng growing where he was lying.

Is it a coincidence?

Qin Zhao looked at the little koi and thought inadvertently in his heart.

He once read in a book that wealthy families like to raise a kind of carp called koi, which can bring good luck to people.

Could it be that this little guy can really bring good luck to people?

After feeding the little koi fish dinner, Qin Zhao took out the book "Shangshu Zhengyi" that Chen Yan'an gave him.

This book is a commonly used reading for the classics subject in the current imperial examinations, and is also one of the books that all candidates participating in the Tongsheng examination must read.

Qin Zhao couldn't remember when or where he'd read this book before, but a few months ago, when the town academy sent it to him for him to copy, he only read a few paragraphs and felt completely familiar with it, even reciting it easily.

Printed books were already available in this era, but due to their high prices, most students still used handwritten copies.

The same is true of the book in Chen Yanan's hand.

The copied books had passed through several hands, so it was inevitable that there would be some errors and omissions. Qin Zhao's previous job was to revise the books, correct the errors and omissions, and then copy them down.

But this is the first time I’ve annotated a book.

He first read through the first few pages, noting down the meanings of words and sentences that he felt needed explanation. He then wrote his own interpretations and other annotations on another piece of rough paper, which he then inserted into the current page.

For reference only.

This method, firstly, can keep the book neat and clear, without affecting Chen Yanan's note-taking during lectures. Secondly, it can be taken out at any time, so as not to affect Chen Yanan's own thinking.

Jing Li watched from beginning to end, and was amazed, stunned, and finally stunned.

This person's learning method... is too advanced.

It would be a waste of his talent if he didn't become a teacher and take the imperial examination.

Qin Zhao must have a thorough understanding of the book. He hardly needed to think when he picked up the pen to write. In less than an hour and a half, he had marked out half of the book.

He put down his pen and stretched.

Qin Zhao had no intention of annotating the entire book. This was simply a way to curry favor, helping Chen Yan'an temporarily deal with his teacher. But the guy still had a lot of books to read in the future, and he couldn't expect Qin Zhao to help him every time.
