Little chef

Chapter 15

When Su Tang took her brother home, Aunt Zhou was already waiting. Seeing her happy face, it seemed that things were done.

　　"Master said that if you are free, you can go see him this afternoon. It just depends on Master's taste whether you can accept it or not." After finishing speaking, Aunt Zhou said with a smile, "Basically, nothing will happen. Seven years old is just right. It’s the age of enlightenment, so Master shouldn’t ask too difficult questions.”

　　The original body's father was illiterate, so his children were also illiterate. Su Jinhang naturally had never been to school.

　　But everything comes from scratch, Su Tang nodded: "Sorry, Aunt Zhou, but what do I need to bring to become a disciple?"

　　This is the question of how much Shu Xiu is a disciple.

　　That is how much the tuition is.

　　Aunt Zhou said: "Most of the students in this school are from wealthy families. In addition to the old-fashioned six rites, they also bring silver, Hui ink, etc. When my Cong'er went to school, the family was not responsible and only brought the six rites, which were just bacon. Bring more."

　　The six gifts of Shuxiu are celery, lotus seeds, red beans, dates, longans, and dried lean meat.

　　There is no fixed amount of things, but the poor have their own way of giving, and the rich have their own way of giving.

　　It all depends on the students’ wishes.

　　Su Tang knew it well, and after thanking Aunt Zhou, she took Su Jinhang to the bookstore in the West Market. As expected, there was a full box of Liuli for sale here.

　　Just give the shop servants enough money and they can take care of it, and make sure they do it properly.

　　Su Tang chose two pieces of ink and two good brushes at the bookstore.

　　Then he exchanged one tael of silver of good quality and put it into the Liuli box.

　　It cost nearly three taels to buy these things.

　　You know, with today's prices, a family of three can eat and drink with just two taels of silver.

　　These gifts are already considered valuable in Xicheng.

　　Su Tang had heard about this master. He was an old man who had passed the national examination and had rich experience in teaching students.

　　It is enough for this master to be Xiaohang's first teacher.

　　Besides, according to the ancient rules, after giving the gift this time, it will be a year of cultivation, which is still a good deal.

　　The main reason is that Su Tang has money now.

　　If I had just worn it, I would have been reluctant to spend money like this.

　　As expected, it was not surprising that there were so many people. Even though Su Jinhang had only read a few thousand-character essays, the master still accepted him and asked him to study tomorrow.

　　Su Jinhang didn't expect that when he came back from shopping, he would want to study.

　　He didn't react until he got home with the books, paper and pen he bought.

　　Su Jinhang's face was full of disbelief: "Sister, can I really study?"

　　To be honest, most of them in Xicheng are merchants, and they are also small merchants. It is quite enough for their children to learn the Thousand-Character Classic.
