Volume II: Academy Chapter 0123: Flickering
When Renard arrived, the restaurant was already overcrowded, after all, only the guests of the Deluxe and Premium cabins could enjoy the exclusive service, while the other guests could only come here for a big pot of rice.
From time to time, a complaining voice sounded: "The environment here is simply terrible, there are fleas and mildew spots on the quilt, I don't want to stay for half a minute." ”
It is not difficult to judge from the description that the other party is definitely living in the cheapest low-class cabin.
The lower cabins were occupied by small merchants, or people who had gone to other countries to earn a living, and of course there were also students who went to the Academy of Constantinople for further study.
Although these people have no worries about food and clothing in their hometowns, and their living conditions are superior, they still can't afford the high fares, so they can only choose to live in low-class cabins.
It's okay for a short time, everyone can barely bear it, but after a long time, they will inevitably complain.
When Renard passed by, he found that they all had panda eyes, their ruddy and full faces had long been replaced by exhaustion, and their hair was as messy as a bird's nest.
When people saw the gold VIP logo hanging on his chest, they all showed envy, and at the same time consciously moved out of the way to the VIP area.
"Welcome to the distinguished guests!" The two hostesses at the door bowed to Renard, making him feel as if he had returned to the world of wishes to visit KTV.
Renard went up to the second floor and quickly found the Tang Restaurant, which did not have many customers, not that it tasted bad, but that the price was too expensive.
He didn't care about whether it was expensive or not, anyway, the money was blown by the wind.
Renard's current purpose in life is to be happy in time, thinking that he still has hundreds of thousands of savings in Huaxia Country that have not been touched, and the rent of several stores transferred to him by his parents has not been collected, he has a feeling of pain in his bones.
He did it near the glass window, and from here he could see the long queue below to receive food, and the feeling of looking down on the beings from above was truly fascinating.
When he opened the menu, his eyes immediately straightened, because he didn't know what was on it.
Dried fish, duan, muddy sheep, golden jade, white salon, skewers, raw sheep, feiluan, red chest, soup balls, kunwei, shuangcheng, gourd chicken, salamander roasted ......
After a long time, he raised his head and looked at the still standing servant next to him, or the waiter was more appropriate: "Are there any special dishes?" ”
The other party immediately replied respectfully: "Yes." ”
Say whatever you ask, without the slightest dragging or overstepping.
Renard took a deep breath: "Two meats and two vegetables, four dishes and one soup, there must be fish and meat, fruits and vegetables, and chicken and seafood. ”
Don't look at what he says too much, in fact, in the final analysis, it is still four dishes, one soup and one bowl of soft rice.
The waiter nodded with a smile, opened his mouth and shouted loudly: "Roast venison pot and shredded chicken on a plate, stewed fish maw stuffed with flowers, stuffed asparagus with cherry meat, crispy beetroot, stewed crab meat and begonia with seaweed, hibiscus eight treasures." ”
The waiter's voice was very sharp, almost like that of the eunuchs in the palace.
A group of diners below looked up to see what this guy who wanted four dishes and one soup looked like.
Renard immediately got up and moved his position, so as not to provoke the public.
The waiter immediately reminded in a low voice, "Sir, a total of seventeen silver coins." ”
He had been loud before, but now his voice was inaudible, apparently deliberately giving the guest a long face.
Good fellow, eat seventeen silver coins in one meal, which is equivalent to two months' income of an ordinary family.
Reynard hesitated for a moment, and immediately took out twenty silver coins and handed them to the other party, lest the other party think that he could not afford to pay, and then spread the matter out, and then the shame would be a big loss.
At the same time, he said very generously: "The rest is a small consumption. ”
The waiter took the money, puffed up his chest and shouted, "The guest at table 10 will tip three silver coins." ”
The pot exploded again: "Where is this local tyrant?"
Ashley happened to pass by with his subordinates, and when he heard it, he was immediately unhappy, there was someone on this boat who could play music better than himself?
He really misunderstood Renard, which is the specialty of the Tang Restaurant.
Ashley's doctrine made him not to eat pork, so he would not set foot in the pork-based Tang restaurant at all, and it was normal for him not to know about it.
So he entered the VIP area with a kind of entourage hula and went directly to the second floor.
The crowd below was faintly looking forward to it, not knowing how much face the local tyrant above would lose when he met this God of Wealth, of course, it would be better if there was a rich competition.
However, when Ashley saw that it was Renard, the depression in his heart was suddenly swept away: "Oh! it turned out to be Mr. Renard, I was still looking for you just now." ”
Renard stood up and saluted, and asked curiously, "What are you looking for me?"
Before the food was served, the two chatted about the earth circle again.
Ashley asked, "I'm not doubting your Circle of Earth, I'm just asking how long it would take to get from Albia to Middle-earth or East Earth if we really had a ball under our feet." ”
The corners of Renard's mouth hooked up a contemptuous arc, not pretending, but really disdain, contempt for this world of academics.
No matter how he says, he is also a genius with an IQ far beyond ordinary people, although he eats and waits for death after graduating from college, it does not mean that he is uneducated.
Lei Ye is a person who graduated from a key university and went to study abroad.
Of course, it is also fortunate that the geometric mathematics in this world is not very backward, otherwise Renard would have to start teaching mathematics in the fifth grade if he wanted to install waves.
To get back to the book, Renard directly laid out the algorithm of the Egyptian Eratosthenes.
That is, the angle between the sunlight and the vertical direction of a certain place is equal to the geocentric angle between the place and the place where the sunlight shines directly, and then the circumference of the sphere under the feet can be calculated according to the arc length of the ground plane between the two places.
Renard explained in detail, even how to calculate the arc length.
The entourage behind Ashley brushed up on the records, showing an expression of amazement from time to time, obviously this is a knowledgeable person, maybe even some very famous mathematician.
Eventually, the attendant said nervously: "The perfect way of calculating is simply too perfect, and if it is true, it will definitely break countless millennia."
When Ashley saw the other party's reaction, he knew that Renard was not untargeted, although he didn't understand it well, but it didn't prevent him from showing his admiration for the scholar: "Great Lord Renard, don't you really consider being my personal advisor?"
As if he felt that such an invitation was a bit abrupt, he immediately changed his words: "No, I am not worthy of such a wise advisor as you, only His Majesty the Great Emperor of Albia is worthy of your assistance. ”
Lei Ye still smiled and said nothing when he heard this, making an unfathomable appearance.
