Xie Hong's lips curled up.
She is a country girl who has never seen the world.
Xie Hong: "Of course, but these books are not those Three Character Classics or Hundred Family Names."
Lin Jinyue raised a smile: "Okay."
Seeing that she agreed readily, Xie Hong said, "How about this. If it works, I will not give you even one acre less of the land I promised you. General Gu and County Magistrate Ding can both stand here as witnesses..."
County Magistrate Ding whispered, "But, this is nearly 10,000 acres of land. Just buying the land will cost 100,000 taels of silver..."
Lin Jinyue was shocked. Wasteland is so expensive?!
Xie Hong sneered, "It's only one hundred thousand taels. I have it."
Xie Hong looked at Lin Jinyue again: "If you lose, there must be a punishment, right?"
Lin Jinyue hesitated for a moment, "What punishment?"
Xie Hong laughed even more wantonly, "If you lose, all of you in Linjia Village will run around Yunhe Village, barking like dogs while running."
Lin Jinyue frowned slightly.
Well, she felt right.
This Xie Hong just doesn't like her.
They had never seen him before, let alone offended him. I guess this person is narrow-minded and took his anger out on them this time.
Lin Jinyue thought about it and was about to speak when Gu Shao stopped her.
Gu Shao frowned: "Brother Xie, this is a bit of a bully."
Xie Hong sneered: "What's the big deal? Not only did I promise them 100,000 taels of silver, I also taught them a lesson and made them obedient. They don't have to pay anything."
Lin Jinyue pushed Gu Shao away and asked, "How much time do you want me to recite? Don't try to trick us by saying you'll only have time for a cup of tea."
Xie Hong smiled and said, "How come? How about an hour?"
"I'll read to you for an hour, and then you'll recite the three books in a row."
Xie Hong casually took out a few thick books and said with a smile: "You can choose whatever you want. I am a generous man. As long as you memorize the general idea correctly, it's okay if you make a few mistakes. Don't accuse me of bullying."
Lin Jinyue read the five books, "Records of the Grand Historian", "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica", "Zuo Zhuan", "Book of Rites" and "Book of Changes".
Lin Jinyue tried hard to hold back her laughter, praying that she would not be exposed, lest Xie Hong stop gambling.
These are not enlightenment books. Xie Hong feels that even if a child has a photographic memory, they cannot finish reading all these books in an hour.
Lin Jinyue nodded, "Okay."
As he spoke, he began to read a book.
But Lin Shucheng also rushed over, "Girl, let's eat first, and then recite after eating. You can't go on an empty stomach for several hours, right? It's just right, we can continue eating after reciting. Let's have hot pot tonight?"
Xie Hong waved his hand indifferently, "Okay."
Anyway, he was keeping an eye on the girl, so he wasn't afraid of this group of people cheating.
The barbecue smelled really good. Lin Shucheng came to find Lin Jinyue so that she could buy some barbecue ingredients from the system mall.
They have pepper seeds, but they haven't grown yet. They don't have Sichuan peppercorns, five-spice powder, or cumin powder either, so you have to go to the mall to buy them.
The beef needs to be seasoned with Sichuan pepper to remove the fishy smell, otherwise it will not taste good.
When barbecuing, Lin Shucheng first grilled a bunch of lamb skewers, half for his daughter and half for Gu Shao.
The amount of cumin powder and chili is just right, and the aroma from the roasting is enough to make you drool.
However, when Lin Shucheng was grilling the meat for Xie Hong, his hand shook and half a bottle of chili powder was spilled on it, and the whole skewer of meat was covered with a layer of chili powder.
It’s still the extra spicy kind.
Lin Shucheng handed the spicy meat skewers to Xie Hong without changing his expression.
Want to bully his daughter?
No way!
Xie Hong smelled it and it was so fragrant that he took a big bite and almost choked on his tears.
This is really too spicy.
Xie Hong's throat was so sore from the burning sensation that he kept coughing.
Gu Shao laughed loudly: "Brother Xie, this is what they got from the merchants in the Western Regions. It's called chili pepper. It's like this the first time you eat it. I was choked at that time. Only after eating more can you feel the taste of this chili pepper. It's really good."
Xie Hong looked at Gu Shao with some suspicion.
Looking at the two deputy generals he brought with him, they also looked choked.
But Gu Shao and his gang were eating with gusto.
Xie Hong continued to eat a few more bites.
Almost sent him away.
As a result, everyone else looked as if they were asking "Can you do it?"
Can Xie Hong admit that he is not good enough?
The two deputy generals who were choked by the pepper at the beginning also started to eat with gusto. Could he admit that he was not good enough?
Lin Jinyue also thoughtfully gave him some iced coconut milk.
Abnormal spicy coconut milk, whoever drinks it will die.
I guess Xie Hong will have to go to the toilet tonight.
No, she had to finish reciting it quickly, and then let them go back before it got completely dark.
Don't just drag them here.
Not easy to clean.
Lin Jinyue quickly asked her father to bake some steamed buns for her. After she ate them, she went to recite her lessons.
Lin Jinyue was not at all disappointed with this bet. She had a photographic memory. Among the five books, she had read "Records of the Grand Historian" and "The Book of Changes", and she could even recite "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica" by heart. However, this was a fictional world, and if there were any differences, it would not be a shame if she recited it wrong.
If you are discovered to be a time traveler, you might be tied up and burned.
Lin Jinyue briefly flipped through the Records of the Grand Historian and found that it was somewhat different from what she had memorized. However, the "Book of Changes" and "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica" were pretty similar.
After quickly flipping through three books, Lin Jinyue began to memorize "Records of the Grand Historian".
Although there are some differences, most of them just change the name of the dynasty, and the rest are similar.
After briefly reading it over half an hour later, she went to call Xie Hong.
Lin Jinyue wanted to laugh when she saw him holding a skewer of spicy beef in one hand and an iced coconut in the other.
She said: "I'm going to recite it, you..."
Xie Hong looked a little painful, but he insisted: "It's okay."
As he said that, he asked a deputy general to put the book in front of him and let Lin Jinyue carry it with her back to him.
Who would have thought that Lin Jinyue could not only recite it, but also spoke very fast as if she had a cheat code.
The first thing Lin Jinyue memorized was "Records of the Grand Historian" which she had just finished reading. She did memorize the notes of this book, but she was afraid that she would get nervous and mix up the contents.
After reciting "Records of the Grand Historian", Xie Hong looked a little unhappy.
Who would have thought that this little girl could really carry herself?
Lin Jinyue's parents tried frantically to suppress the smiles on their faces.
Can't be too obvious.
Yueyue in their family only looked up information about the crossbow a few times, made a simple toy crossbow, and was able to draw all the detailed structure of the crossbow.
Moreover, the size is exactly the same, and the crossbow arrows made from it are really powerful.
How could these books, which she often read when she was a child, be ruined?
Lin Jinyue's mouth was like a machine gun, without even taking a breath. After reciting the "Book of Changes", she started to recite the "Compendium of Materia Medica".
Not only did she recite it quickly, but Xie Hong couldn't find any mistakes in it either.
When she was reciting the last book, her father quickly handed her a bamboo tube filled with coconut water.
Don't make his daughter thirsty.
He glanced at the last copy of Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica and whispered, "This book is hard to understand... Even children from medical families may not be able to read it at this age..."
At this time, his deputy general whispered: "This, this family is the one who helped treat the plague in Yunmeng County last time..."
Xie Hong almost felt dizzy.
His one hundred thousand taels of silver!
