Lin Yan, feeling much more comforted, opened the cabinet, took out a thin bamboo tube that was twenty centimeters high, and handed it to her.
"Here are two pounds of salt."
Shu Miao didn't take it immediately, but put down the basket first, revealing the plump chestnuts inside.
Then he took out the three pheasant eggs from his pocket.
Seeing her actions, Lin Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.
He casually put the bamboo tube aside, took the egg from her hand, then half-knelt down and grabbed a handful of chestnuts. To his surprise, he discovered that the chestnuts were actually dried!
His expression suddenly became a little serious. He carefully checked the quality of all the chestnuts in the basket. The more he checked, the happier he became.
He was worried before that he had received so many good things from his elder sister but had not sent anything to her. But now he has it, right?
The main reason is that his eldest sister's family has everything they need, so he can only use this delicious food to please others.
Look how well these chestnuts are dried, each one is plump and beautiful, there will definitely be no problem with storage!
When Lin Zhiqing was checking the quality of the chestnuts, Shu Miao had been secretly observing his expression. Seeing the joy on his face, he knew that the exchange was done!
He relaxed his mind, picked up the bamboo tube beside him, pulled out the cork and looked inside.
Seeing that it was filled with coarse salt grains, he was stunned for a moment, but thinking that with Lin Zhiqing's status, there was no need for him to take advantage of this, he could only suppress his doubts.
I thought, at worst I can just ask myself when I get back.
But if the truth is revealed at this moment, it will be troublesome.
Both of them were quite satisfied with what the other had brought out, so they smoothly moved on to the next stage.
Lin Yan also considered that this girl definitely didn't know the value of these foods, so he didn't ask her plans and spoke directly.
"Your pheasant eggs are small, so I can only give you one third each. As for the chestnuts, since they're dry goods, I'll take one cent."
As he spoke, he pulled out a scale from somewhere, picked up the backpack and weighed it. Then he poured the chestnuts into an empty basket beside him and weighed the backpack again.
Shu Miao just stared blankly at the other person's operation. Could she say that she didn't understand the scale at all?
So she couldn't understand the scale and could only watch helplessly as the other party operated it.
After getting the exact figures, Lin Yan spoke again, "The total weight of chestnuts is 5.2 jin, and together with the eggs, it's 61 cents."
As he said this, he looked at Shu Miao, waiting for her confirmation.
Although she can't read the scale, she can do the math!
Seeing her nod in agreement, Lin Yan continued, "You know the price of salt, it's 16 cents per pound, and two pounds is 32 cents. After deducting the cost of the salt, I'll give you another 29 cents, right?"
Shu Miao nodded, indicating that he had no objection.
The deal was concluded smoothly.
When sending Shu Miao out of the house, Lin Yan thought of her confused face when she weighed herself, and he sincerely suggested,
"You'd better learn how to read a scale, or you'll be fooled by someone one day without knowing it."
Shu Miao naturally knew that the other party was truly doing this for his own good, so he hurriedly thanked him and prepared to leave.
Because she heard the bell ring.
Seeing her anxious look, Lin Yan didn't say anything else. He casually took out two candies and threw them into her backpack. Without giving her a chance to react, he turned around and went into the house.
Shu Miao only felt that he threw something into her backpack, but she didn't see what it was.
Normally, the class bell would ring five minutes after the preparatory bell rang. She was not sure if she would miss the class if she argued with Lin Zhiqing any further.
Without even checking what the other person was giving him, he just ran away.
When she arrived at the classroom breathlessly, Teacher Gao was already standing on the podium, demonstrating to everyone how to write beautifully.
Looking at the content that took up half of the blackboard, Shu Miao showed a rare hint of guilt on his face.
Fortunately, most of the students' attention was on the teacher. When they saw that she was late, they just glanced at her and ignored her.
Because it was not yet class time, Shu Miao did not report and returned to his seat in a hunched manner.
Wang Erzhu looked at her a few more times, and then his gaze returned to the teacher.
Shu Miao hurriedly took out his textbook, but before he could catch his breath, the bell rang.
Shu Miao, who was immersed in the ocean of knowledge again, quickly put aside other distracting thoughts and listened attentively.
Because Shu Miao planned to skip a grade, she shamelessly followed Teacher Gao to the office as soon as the get out of class was over.
In the office,
The math teacher happened to be there too, and the moment he saw her he smiled kindly.
Shu Miao gave a shy smile in return and hurriedly followed Teacher Gao to the desk in the corner.
Facing the other person's deep gaze, Shu Miao still gritted his teeth and expressed his desire to skip a grade.
Before Gao Xingyi could say anything, the math teacher who was eavesdropping with his ears perked up spat out a mouthful of tea.
"puff--"
Being stared at by the two, the math teacher blushed instantly and waved his hands hurriedly, "Ahem, ahem, ahem, do whatever you want, just leave me alone."
In fact, I was sighing in my heart that the Shu family was really blessed. There was Shu Ziqiang who was at the top of the class, and there were two more children who were going to skip grades at the beginning of the school year.
What should she say?
I'm so envious...
The camera turns back to the two of them.
Gao Xingyi frowned and looked at Shu Miao for a while. Although he felt that her foundation was not solid enough, since the student made this request, as a teacher he was still willing to spend some time to make her face the reality.
He first gave her a pen and paper, then picked up the second Chinese textbook and started reading out the new words.
When Shu Miao heard the first word, his mind went blank.
"win?"
Fortunately, she thought about it for a moment and managed to write it down haltingly.
