Chapter 11 Private Training

The fried potatoes at noon are high in oil, salt and dry. It’s okay to eat them occasionally, but if you do it over and over again, you will definitely get irritated and gain weight.

Dinner, of course, needs a change.

Staple food is still needed. Without rice and wheat, Tang Jia can only turn his attention to potatoes again.

Let’s have some beef brisket stewed with potatoes!

Cut the beef brisket into small pieces, blanch it with green onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell, skim off the foam and remove from the water, then cool it down.

Put some oil in the pot, add ginger slices, and stir-fry the beef brisket. After the aroma comes out, add salt and a little seasoning, and add water to cover the beef brisket.

While the potatoes were stewing, Tang Jia started to process them.

Peeling the skin and cutting it into small pieces seemed like a routine operation to Tang Jia, but it amazed Mrs. Benton.

If Mrs. Benton hadn't been afraid of running out of ingredients, she would have wanted to give it a try.

Tang Jia declined the offer.

There is only one main reason. The actions of Sun Nianhan and others were too powerful and she could not bear it.

After the beef brisket is soft, add potatoes and simmer for 20 minutes over high heat until the sauce thickens.

The simple version of beef brisket stewed with potatoes is ready.

It’s not that Tang Jia is lazy, but in the interstellar age, there is nothing you can ask for!

Mrs. Benton was a refined person, not as unbridled as Dr. Pine.

After a large pot of stewed beef brisket with potatoes was served on the table, she did not start eating, but waited for Tang Jia to hand out the bowls and chopsticks. Sun Nianhan started eating first and demonstrated thoroughly. Mrs. Benton then followed suit and started eating.

The potatoes melt in your mouth and the beef brisket is soft and tasty. You can’t stop eating it.

They say good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles.

Having been neighbors for so many years, Mrs. Benton knew the Si family more or less.

Mrs. Benton also knew the reason why Sun Nianhan came to her house.

First of all, if you see through something but don't say it out loud, you can still be friends.

Secondly, although the Si family’s couple are good people, they should also see what their granddaughter looks like before they can make any comments, right?

But who knew that the longest road in the world was actually the Si family's routine.

Who can resist a good meal?

Similarly, no one can refuse someone who offers delicious food.

After all, how bad can someone who can cook delicious food be?

Even if there was a minor, harmless flaw, in order to continue to have delicious food, Mrs. Benton felt that she could change her student and guide her onto the right path.

Yes!

Mrs. Benton has already decided on Tang Jia as her student.

My beloved disciple, booking is in progress...

However, Mrs. Benton was still reserved and needed a chance.

Fortunately, her good neighbor Ms. Sun Nianhan understood her and took the initiative to ask her to give Tang Jia extra lessons.

Mrs. Benton nodded reservedly.

Ms. Sun Nianhan timely proposed to replace the tuition fees with delicious food, and Mrs. Benton gladly accepted it.

Two hours of private lessons in exchange for a meal, both parties feel they have made a great deal.

Tang Jia tightened his grip on the chopsticks. After seeing Mrs. Benton off, he immediately took the time to review the Interstellar Early Childhood Enlightenment Course.

As for the rest, it’s too late, so let it be!

Tang Jia was busy with his homework, and Mrs. Benton was also busy, actively collecting information about Tang Jia.

The main source of information is naturally my good neighbor Ms. Sun Nianhan.

However, the situation is not very optimistic.

Tang Jia's grades have never been good since he entered school. Mrs. Benton was buzzing with fear over the large number of failing grades.

After learning that Tang Jia's physical fitness level had just been upgraded from F to D, Mrs. Benton even felt a little desperate.

So much so that when Mrs. Benton went to class the next day, she was actually quite relieved to find that Tang Jia was well versed in the basics.

It's just... outrageous!

Being proficient in the Interstellar Early Childhood Enlightenment Curriculum is roughly equivalent to the fourth grade level of primary education. For the twelve-year-old Tang Jia, it is not too bad.

This was not what Tang Jia said, nor was it Mrs. Benton's evaluation, but the one-sided statement of auditor Caleb Ryan.

Considering Caleb Ryan's excellent transcript, Tang Jia felt that the accuracy should be relatively high.

In order to help Tang Jia study better, Caleb Ryan also found her the fifth and sixth grade notes of the primary education school affiliated with the First Military Academy of the Alliance.

Of course, it’s not free.

A notebook and a meal, Caleb Ryan is very smart!

Caleb Lane took notes, Mrs. Benton taught, and Tang Jia provided lunch, which complemented each other very well.

That is, there are a lot more people eating for free.

It's okay that there are only five people in the Si family, and we can tolerate Dr. Pine coming here in the name of research, but what does this young lady who comes to take Mrs. Benton home mean?

Just across the wall, how could Mrs. Benton, a professor in the Command Department of the Union's First Military Academy, get lost?

Can you find an excuse to take a break?

Or, how about being more direct like your father and just bring wheat seeds to your house and ask for feeding?

It's hard to act with you, okay?

Going to classes, cooking, and practicing superpowers every day...it's very tiring, okay?

It’s not that Tang Jia was so unwelcome to Miss Benton, but the wheat seeds sent by Mr. Benton touched her heart.

Wheat!

All kinds of noodles, buns, dumplings, steamed buns, flower rolls, bread, cakes, biscuits, beer... just thinking about it makes me drool.

Tang Jia wanted to pull out all the other plants in the back garden and use them to grow wheat.

But she also knew that this was unrealistic.

Tang Jia spent three days breeding the seeds, and then entrusted Sun Wei to plant this batch of wheat in Dr. Pine's garden.

But even so, Tang Jia is still a long way from eating the above food.

The quantity is too small, not enough to eat, so it’s better to use it as seeds!

After all, there is still not enough land!

Seeing how greedy Tang Jia was, Caleb Ryan said considerately that he had a private villa covering an area of ​​14 acres on Qingcheng Star, and there was also a lot of vacant land, which he could give to Tang Jia for free use.

Tang Jia was deeply moved.

But thinking about his own terrible academic performance, Tang Jia made it clear that he would discuss it later.

At the very least, you have to understand the first interstellar speed, the second interstellar speed, Hector's law, Ferguson function...!

As it turned out, Tang Jia overestimated himself.

Mrs. Benton consolidated the work for a week and then worked hard for a month, and Tang Jia basically reached the level of a sixth grade in primary education.

Why add basically three words?

Because friendship will fade, love will fade, difficulties will make you suffer, and life will make you surrender... Only advanced mathematics will not, and it just won't work.

He understands interstellar history at a glance, knows the encyclopedia of interstellar animals at a glance, and can recite the encyclopedia of interstellar plants by heart. He doesn't know the first interstellar velocity, the second interstellar velocity, Hector's law, Ferguson's function... He doesn't know any of them. He just doesn't know them.

In the end, even Mrs. Benton felt that there were many subjects that could affect the score, and there was no need to rely on just one subject.

After all, there are 1,500 questions in the entrance examination, and you can’t be so unlucky as to get all of them in math!

Nothing is difficult in the world as long as you are willing to give up.
